Huntsman's Mimicry

Raimon: okay I will make this chapter longer, depending on how it feels to write, I will decide if I continue it. Glad you like it enough that you want me to be a scribe, sorry to say I am a bit too lazy for that.

jpikachu45: that can be arranged.

Mr. Haze: indeed they do

Rio Skyron: everyone will have their own opinion on the matter

randomPackage: most likely he will be but a bit more neutral

Monster King/vulturez/guest: thanks for the support

"So Weiss… what could be so important that you have dragged me away before lunch" Naruto hummed. "Come to insult me again, faunus labour perhaps?"

"What! No, I…" Weiss stammered. She stopped to take a deep breath, staring at the blond solemnly. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to insult you the way I did… I don't think that the things I said about you are true, it's just that I was… well".

"Let me guess" Naruto shrugged. "You were just mad that, you felt I didn't trust you enough to tell you I was a faunus".

"Yes! We are friends, correct?" Weiss stated as Naruto nodded dumbly. "Then why couldn't you trust me? Is it because I am a Schnee? I am well aware that my family is no saint when it comes to discrimination but surely since you met Winter, I thought you may have changed your mind. You even said I was similar to Winter after all, if you could trust her, you can trust me".

"You make very valid points Weiss however…" Naruto shook his head. "Your thinking is still quite insulting" Weiss blinked in confusion. "Why do I have to declare myself as a faunus? Should I get mad because you haven't told me you are human? No, nobody should have to declare their race".

"S-sorry" Weiss flinched. "I-I would like to humbly apologise on the grounds of the whole Schnee family name" she bowed.

"That looks stupid, Princess" Naruto flicked her forehead. "Alright, I forgive you".

"Really, I didn't… I" Weiss shook her head. "Thank you for giving me the chance" she smiled. "So, um… is there any chance for you to unblock me?"

Naruto blinked before taking his scroll out in realisation, he paused for a moment. "That is a lot of buttons to press… I don't know if I can be bothered".

"Wait, I'll buy you a drink" Weiss jumped in.

Naruto deadpanned as he stared at her for a few seconds. "Who do you think you are? Are you calling me an alcoholic?" She backed down from his gaze. "Because now you have my interest".

"So does this mean you'll unblock me?" Weiss fidgeted.

"I don't know, this is hard work… one drink will still leave my throat parched" Naruto rubbed his throat.

"I can buy you as many drinks as you want, Naruto" Weiss stepped close to him. "You just have to ask~"

"Oh? Are you relating this to the date you asked me yesterday for?" Naruto eyerolled.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, it is" Weiss stated with a blush. "I can pay for everything, y-you just n-need to show up a-and be c-cute" she bit her lower lip as her blush grew.

"That's from Blake's books, isn't it?" he smirked as Weiss slumped. "So, I got that right… hm, so have you learned anything else from Blake's books". Naruto hummed "did it tell you that faunus are wild icebreakers? Because all that is true, ice queen". He waved it off "nah just kidding… that's a bit more truthful about yours truly"

"U-Unbelievable!" Weiss crossed her arms, huffing to hide embarrassment. "Men and their egos".

Naruto grabbed his scroll and clicked a few times. "There… unblocked" before Weiss could open her mouth, Naruto put his finger to her lips. "First, yes I will go on a date with you. Second, just because it is a date, it does not mean we are going out. Third, please don't get over excited, make a fuss or anything".

Weiss fumbled slightly before straightening her posture. "Of course, I can agree to those terms" she smiled. "I have the perfect high end steak house which…" she coughed into her hand. "We could go to… the dance club for some party drinks".

"Do as you wish" Naruto sighed.

"Sure… um" Weiss stepped closer to him, jumping on her toes, she pecked his cheek. "I'll message you the details later okay" she turned around with a small blush on her face and stiffly walked away.

As soon as her gaze left Naruto, his neutral expression turned into a frown. 'Why is she continuing? She kisses me after I told her I wasn't going out with her' he wiped his cheek making sure there wasn't any lipstick or such.

"You really don't look like you enjoyed that, Loverboy" Naruto didn't move as Yang placed her arm around his shoulders.

"Were you there the whole time?" Naruto asked. 'She was there alright but I don't know how much she heard'.

"Long enough to hear enough" Yang patted him. "Got to say, I never expected that from the Ice Queen, especially to you of all people". Naruto raised an eyebrow at the statement "no offense Naruto but you are like the opposite of posh, err…. You know".

"I actually take that as a compliment" Naruto put an arm around her waist. "People want what they don't have, I'm guessing Weiss likes me for my… rebellious attitude to life". Naruto sighed "not love, just a crush".

Yang hummed "you know Naruto, that sort of sounds…"

"If you are worried about Weiss's feelings, don't worry I will put her down gently" Naruto patted her side.

"No, I know you will respect her enough to do that" Yang sighed. "You just seem like sort of a downer when you say it like that".

"Alright, don't be a Yangester about it" Naruto raised his arm and playfully ruffled her hair. Yang stiffened at the contact to her hair but quickly eased as his fingers went through her locks. "Anyway, there is no need to Yang up on it" Naruto combed his hand away as he stepped away.

"Alright, I won't judge" Yang crossed her arms around the back of her head. "So, you coming for lunch?" Naruto just nodded as he followed his fellow blonde.

"And then I said that's a katana" Ruby giggled earning a few laughs. "So… do you guys know where Cinder is?" she looked up and down the lunch table to see all three teams of RWBY, JNPR and CMNE with the sole exception of Cinder sitting together.

Everyone turned to either Naruto, Mercury or Emerald as they waited for an answer. Mercury just grunted and shrugged as his attention was solely on a game on his scroll. Noticing Naruto was dully texting on his scroll, not really paying attention either, all eyes turned to Emerald. "W-well you see, Cinder is… um, well…" Emerald fumbled. "She is just a bit sick".

"Oh no, does she have any whole milk?" Ruby piped up.

"Ruby, she would obviously need medicine, how would whole milk help?" Weiss asked.

"What you talking about?" Ruby replied surprisingly sassily.

"Yeah, our dad always gave us whole milk, it always made us feel better" Yang added.

"I'm always so drunk, I can't really tell if I'm sick so…" Naruto started. "Right, whole milk and medicine".

"How sick is she?" Jaune asked. "Perhaps we could go and see her, cheer her up".

"That sounds like a wonderful idea, Jaune" Pyrrha added.

"No!" Emerald burst out. "Cinder asked to be left alone… because she… she…"

"Alright, I will be honest with you guys, why Cinder really isn't here and why she doesn't want you to find out her secret" Naruto sighed as Emerald physically tensed and Mercury snapped his head round. "Cinder is, or rather she has… explosive diarrhoea" the table stopped and just stared at Naruto. "Do I need to explain why she doesn't want anyone to visit her right now?" everyone shook their heads. "Anyway don't worry she is fine and luckily it is only food poisoning, so it's not contagious or anything".

"Y-yeah, we didn't really want to tell you about it but it's better than everyone showing up and embarrassing her, right?" Emerald continued, shrugging.

"Eww…" Nora gagged. "Sorry we asked".

"Maybe we don't say another word about it" Naruto sighed staring at his scroll again. "Also, don't mention to Cinder that we discussed this, she will probably want to make an excuse over that".

"Yes, that would be the best course of action" Weiss nodded. "And Ruby, what do you think you are doing?" she crossed her arms.

"I'm… just watching Naruto play his game" Ruby bluffed with complete failure. Everyone deadpanned or ignored Ruby's word as she continued to obviously watch Naruto text. "Oooh~ what's with all those nicknames"

"Oh, I nickname everyone I have contacted" Naruto smiled.

"Oh, what you call me Lover boy?" Yang drummed on the table.

Naruto flicked his scroll "Busty Locks". Yang snickered slightly as she raised her fist, Naruto returned it, giving her a fist bump.

Ruby bounced in her seat. "Me, me, me, it's my turn, who am I?" she pressed up next to him to get a better look at the scroll.

"Choc Chip" Naruto put his scroll away as Ruby looked confused. "You know… your favourite cookie" she nodded.

"Cool~" Ruby stiffened as she got an icy stare from Weiss. "Hey Weiss, what's wrong? You… look a bit angry".

"What's wrong? What is… it's nothing" Weiss continued to glare. She twitched as Ruby sat next to Naruto, sliding over close enough that their legs were touching. Her glare also turned slightly to Naruto as he ignored how Ruby moved against him.

Naruto gave Weiss a quick glance. 'She is clearly jealous that Ruby is next to me very closely, when she was the one that confessed to me less than an hour ago'. Naruto rested his head down on his hand 'not that I care if Weiss gets upset over this anyway… but I wonder if Neo is alright'. He took out his flask and took a sip 'Roman texted me to say Neo was alright and was worried, but if she was worried I thought she would reply'.

"Naruto… hey Naruto" the blond blinked realising he was getting called. Jaune waved his hand in front of Naruto's attention.

"Jauny-boy, what you saying?" Naruto dumbly took another sip.

Jaune rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Can I get… can I borrow some of your alcohol?" he laughed nervously, which turned into a groan.

"Sorry Jaune, care to repeat that" Naruto replied, rubbing his ear.

"Can I borrow some of your alcohol… please?" Jaune repeated with a scared expression.

Yang slammed her hand down on the table and laughed. "That would be a Jaune-strophe" she stopped laughing as people gave her confused looks. "Jaune in a catastrophe… anyway, Jaune you have no chance at drinking Naruto's stuff, I can barely drink it… you have no chance".

"I-I can, please Naruto can I borrow some?" Jaune begged, putting his hands together in some sort of prayer.

'He is obviously getting blackmailed or something, there's no way he would be that desperate. The only real prick that would do that is Cardin, anyone else that would blackmail would not be so pathetic to ask alcohol from me of all people. Should I do something or should I let Jaune deal with this… no, I will only get involved if I am asked to' Naruto sighed. "Jaune, no offense but I drink heavy stuff and I wouldn't even consider you a light weight drinker" Jaune shrunk at Naruto's words but the latter shrugged. "But if you really want it, I won't stop. Here" Naruto slid the flask over to Jaune. "Taste it first, let's see if you like it first".

"Whoa, whoa, whoa… Jaune, think it through" Yang put her hand over the flask, to stop Jaune from taking it. "You got drunk over a couple 10% alcoholic drinks, this is at least 80%, that will-"

"92.5%" Naruto interjected.

"See, that is way over than what you can take" Yang warned.

"Yang, he is old enough to make his own decisions" Weiss crossed her arms. "If Jaune wants to try it, let him and maybe he will learn from the consequences".

"Or he will turn into a lazy drunk like Naruto" Blake added.

Naruto just gasped dramatically "the audacity of your words hurt me so~". He gasped over his heart in fake pain.

"Add idiot to the list" Blake bluntly stated.

"I-I… may I?" Jaune gulped. Naruto just motioned his hand to allow Jaune to go ahead. Everyone just watched as Jaune hesitantly picked up the flask. Moving it closer to his lips, he had to hold in a gag from the strong smell of the drink. He closed his eyes to brace himself as he took a sip of the drink and placed the flask down.

"Here it comes" Naruto stated as Jaune slapped a hand over his mouth, his throat convulsing in pain. "That seems about right for someone who never drinks".

"Jaune, are you alright?" Pyrrha placed a hand on his shoulder to try comfort him. Jaune merely nodded as he muffled a grunt "is he actually going to be okay?"

"Yeah, he will be fine in a minute" Naruto grabbed the flask, wiped the top before taking a drink. "And Jaune… after what I can see from you right now, you are not getting this… actually, I'll only give this to someone who can drink a 40% alcoholic drink like a regular one".

"Can I… try some" Ruby piped up nervously.

"Ruby, please" Naruto patted her head. "You are way too young to be drinking this stuff".

Ruby pouted "we have already been to a nightclub and gotten drunk… and all of us are kind of… too young… you know, so…"

"Take it and don't say another word, Rubes" he slid the flask along the table, not even looking in her direction. "Just remember of what happened to the late Jaune".

"I'm… n-not d-dead" Jaune coughed to clear his throat.

"Right, I…" Ruby lifted the flask to her lips but wisely put it down. "Actually, maybe not" she slid the flask back over to him.

"Smart girl" Naruto patted her head. "Always know the limit" he reached for the flask, only to grasp air. Naruto looked down only to see an empty table "where is my…" He stopped, hearing a loud gulping. Everyone turned round to the sound to see Nora gulping the whole flask down.

"Aaahhh" Nora put the flask down. "Not bad".

"Nora, are you okay?" Ren asked.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Nora burped loudly. "Got any more buddy?" she shook the flask. "Maybe some syrup flavour".

"Nora, you are just wanting pancakes again" Ren dead panned as Nora whistled harmlessly.

"Hmph" Naruto took his flask back and put it back into his pocket. "I think I will keep the precious stuff out of your hands in the future" he grumbled as the bell rung. 'Damn classes'.

'Well this is annoying' Naruto twitched as he silently stepped through a dark alley with the squawking of the birds following him. 'Why do I always have to do Cinder's dirty work?' he paused for a moment. 'Right, she's paying… fucking idiot' he mentally cursed at himself. Unsheathing a kunai, he looked in the reflection of the metal to check his Kurama disguise was looking perfect. Satisfied, Naruto sheathed the kunai and turned the corner to see a securely shut door with three scratches on it. He walked over and stopped a few meters before the door, before looking up at the window.

A few seconds passed before an irritating noise of scraping locks shifting echoed. After a moment passed, the door opened showing a couple of White Fang grunts. "Follow me Sir" the grunt spoke up. Silently, Naruto complied following the grunt into the building while the door locked behind him. He glanced curiously around to see not only White Fang grunts but also suit wearing thugs. Naruto didn't look for long, nothing interesting keeping his attention. The grunt guiding him stopped at a plain wooden door and knocked. "Sir, Kurama is here" the grunt stepped back. "Go in, he has been waiting for you".

Naruto calmly opened the door to see several familiar faces sitting around a table. "Did you miss me?" he looked around seeing Roman, Junior, Melanie and Miltia sitting to the left. While Adam and a high ranking White Fang Grunt sat to the left. 'I thought this was meant to be a crap job… maybe Cinder is just an antisocial bitch, perhaps not antisocial but definitely a bitch'.

"Naruto, good to see you" Roman stood up with his arms wide.

"Roman… god you look old" Naruto embraced Roman in a hug.

"Shut your trap for one time, you cheeky bastard" Roman patted Naruto on the back before stepping back. "Now come on, sit your lazy ass down" he sat back down in the chair.

"Yeah, yeah… Junior" Naruto walked behind his chair and leaned over the man's shoulders. "Sorry for not coming to the club in a while, I'm sure business must be terrible without me".

"You're just lucky I don't charge you your tab" Junior sighed. "At least bring more lien in the next time you want drinks".

"No problem big man… and hello~" Naruto shifted over and leaned between Melanie and Miltia. "How are you two lovely ladies doing?" he placed an arm around both of their shoulders.

"Whatever…" both spoke simultaneously, they both turned to kiss Naruto on each cheek before smacking his jaw.

Naruto winced, rolling his jaw. "Keeping it clean, keeping it classy… you two haven't changed". He walked around to the right side, his gaze skipping over the grunt onto Adam. "So… why do you have a hideout with a massive steel door and thin glass windows? Sort of stupid".

"Shut up and take a drink like you usually do" Adam retorted in a serious yet jokey fashion.

"Don't mind if I do~" Naruto shuffled, pouring a glass of scotch from the centre of the table. Finally, the blond sat down on the chair next to the grunt. "So this is everyone, right?"

"Yes, now let's just get this meeting over and done with" Roman lit a cigar. "I can't be bothered being here for much longer".

"Right" Adam leaned forward in his chair. "You want the White Fang to help you on this heist of yours however, I don't want to take the risks you fail to realise, Roman" he pointed to Junior. "Get him to do it, he has his men".

"Please, no offense Junior" Roman tapped the table. "But his men are not skilled enough for the pay checks they earn".

Junior waved it off "even if my men weren't so useless, I don't have enough manpower to fulfil a heist this large".

"Then get more manpower" Adam grumbled. "Your men consists of thugs, just hire some bums on the streets".

Junior twitched "this isn't Mantle, this town doesn't have many guys on the streets nor can they be trusted to do a good job".

"That's your problem, not mine" Adam snarled.

"Now, now… don't talk so much bull" Roman joked aggravating Adam. "We can just lower the risks of the mission then this won't be a problem".

"And how do you propose we do that?" Adam crossed his arms.

Naruto loudly placed his empty glass on the table. "Well that's a simple solution" he poured himself another glass. "We add me into the picture, I can bring some manpower".

"Naruto, you are really strong and that" Roman puffed his cigar. "But you are not manpower that we need… we need guys to transfer goods, drive vehicles, simply being good in a fight won't matter".

"Hm, well one question for you all" Naruto leaned back in his chair. "How well known is the name Kurama?" he swirled his drink.

"Are you kidding?" Junior spoke up. "You'd probably be the most infamous criminal in Vale had someone not been so fancy with his crimes" his words jabbed Roman. "Naruto, you don't have the most crimes under your belt but the fact you have never been caught and do any job, you bring in many clients to the club wanting to hire you".

"Agreed, not to mention the price to hire your skills is amazing" Roman smirked. "Easily the top mercenary in Vale".

Adam grunted "you are well respected in the White Fang, with how you helped send a message by stealing Schnee shipments and working jobs for the Faunus". He coughed "Siena Khan is actually interested in meeting you, even if you never meant it, through your previous jobs, you have made quite the statement".

"Exactly, I am a big name" Naruto sipped his drink. "Would it be hard for me to gather support for manpower using my name?"

"Oh please" Junior huffed. "there is not enough guys around to work for us, either way they would likely work for me over you since they know I would accept lower standards".

"I am not talking about some weak thugs on the streets here" Naruto placed his drink down. "Adam says the risks are too high, Roman wants to lower the risk with no solution and Junior is too short to help" he grinned. "So I am going to set the bar higher… I am not talking about more thugs, I am offering protection so the White Fang can work unharmed".

"Are you suggesting other mercenaries?" Junior cocked an eyebrow.

"A group of say… ten individuals, each powerful enough to stall a proper Huntsman" Naruto shrugged.

"So in a confusing way, they would all follow you as the leader but really Cinder would lead the group?" Roman asked narrowing his eyes.

"What and probably have someone random lead the scenes behind Cinder as well in some sort of convoluted way" Naruto shook his head. "No, Cinder will not even know they exist and if she finds out, she can talk to me".

"Is she not your ally?" Adam quired.

"She is a client, I will do what I am paid for… everything else is my business" Naruto grinned. 'I have had enough of Cinder's crap… she has treated me like shit, led me into getting in trouble with Neo… no more Cinder… I will break you…' Naruto raised his glass. "Cheers!"

"So it's the dawn of your upcoming group, going to name it?" Roman exhaled a ring of smoke.

"Dawn, huh…" Naruto hummed. "The dawn… the Akatsuki".

"Basic bitch" Melanie and Miltia spoke simultaneously.

"Oi… shut up" Naruto sighed. "I translated dawn to Akatsuki, not many speak the language so stop complaining".

"Akatsuki, eh? Well it stands out at least" Adam scratched his chin. "But how do you plan on getting these members?"

"Simple" Naruto leaned forward. "Junior, Adam… you guys are going to scout out some potential talent and point me in the direction, I will handle the rest".

"Yeah, I could send the message around but it will be risky, just keep that in mind" Junior massaged his forehead.

"I suppose I do owe you a favour" Adam nodded to himself. "I'll get it done".

"Naruto, walk with me" Roman told his adoptive brother as they walked out of the White Fang hideout. "We have to talk"

"I think I can guess what it is" Naruto sighed.

"It's your condition" Roman gripped his cane tightly. "You're getting worse, the medicine isn't working like before".

"It's working fine" Naruto grunted. "I just missed a day and it took its toll".

"Regardless of whether you took it on that day, shouldn't have mattered" Roman stopped. "The drug is losing its effect, you know when I first found you, one pill a month was all you needed to keep cool".

"Oh please, it wasn't that long" Naruto waved it off.

"No it definitely was" Roman pinched the bridge of his nose. "When you were young taking that pill a month, Neo attacked me because she wanted to take your pills… she uh, thought it stopped you having a period" he sighed. "Children are so fucking stupid".

"Okay but… but, I was a child so a pill had more of an effect on me so…" Naruto shrugged.

"Even if you go from child to adult, the intake doesn't go from one month to every four or five days" Roman hung his head. "Look I'm worried about you, Neo was worried about you, and I know you are worried as well… don't try to hide it".

"Don't be, you and Neo combined can take me down, hell Neo could probably take me down by herself" Naruto exhaled. "It doesn't matter what happens to me as long as she is safe".

Roman smacked Naruto over the head. "Dumbass, you really think Neo can beat you, she would never be able to finish you off and I would stand no chance if I tried to help her" he pulled out a cigar. "Naruto… you know there is no cure for you" Roman put a hand over his face solemnly. "And once the medicine stops working, I will lose my brother to a monster".

"That brother of yours" Naruto closed his eyes. "He would ask you to kill that monster before it was too late and save that ice cream girl".

A moment of silence passed between the two as Roman chucked his cigar to the ground. Another second passed before Roman turned raising his cane. His arm paused as the cane's gun poked Naruto's temple. Naruto remained unmoving as he felt the tip of the cane, despite knowing even aura wouldn't protect him from the shot, he sighed calmly. Roman slowly lowered the cane and looked away "sorry… I can't shoot you".

Naruto calmly opened his eyes and stared at Roman "why? Why couldn't you do it?"

"I can't… I just can't shoot my brother" Roman clenched his fists. "I would rather shoot myself".

"Then you are a fool" Naruto stated harshly.

"Then I will be a fool my entire life" Roman shot back, leaving Naruto speechless. "Those were your words… a long time ago, don't you remember".

"I would rather you forget my embarrassing quotes" Naruto groaned as a feather caught his eye.

"No, I will never forget something like that" Roman laughed weakly but stopped as Naruto stopped moving. "Naruto?" the mercenary glared upwards at a bird, perched above staring directly back. "Naruto!" Roman put a hand on his shoulder but Naruto pushed him back.

"Roman, could you just go home now, there seems to be some business for me to attend to" Naruto growled. Before Roman could ask, Naruto pounced to the wall and bounced towards the bird. The bird quickly dived down to pick up speed, with a gust of wind the bird soared forward. Naruto leaped forward, parkouring on the buildings.

"Wait Naruto, what are… you doing?" Roman mumbled the end as he found himself alone.

'So I was right after all, you are a different sort of bird after all' Naruto leaped from building to building. He took out a shuriken and glanced ahead of the bird's path. 'If you really are intelligent, there' Naruto threw the shuriken behind the bird. As he expected the bird turn backwards as the shuriken was thrown, which ended with the shuriken striking the bird on the back. The bird squawked and fell to the ground. Only the bird burst into feathers as a person landed on the ground. "Aren't you something special? Am I drunk or did you actually transform?" Naruto asked.

"Too loud" the person reached for their back and roughly pulled out a bloody shuriken. The person turned round, obviously female by her frame "leave now". Naruto glanced her up and down, taking everything from her large mask to her boots into consideration.

"Oh no, I don't think so" Naruto crossed his arms. "Not when you have been following me all day, I thought I was just imagining things when I saw you first after all you were just a bird" he frowned. "But you have seen a lot, too much in fact… so, who are you? Some righteous huntress or a bounty hunter?"

"Raven Branwen" she placed a hand on the sword attached to her waist. "How did you notice me?" Raven stated bluntly.

Naruto twitched 'I've heard that name somewhere… must be a powerful huntress, considering her stance and composure'. He blinked "birds have aura like all living things but they don't have semblances… my turn, why are you following me?"

"I needed information" Raven slowly unsheathed her sword. "Now, I have decided to give you a choice" she pointed the sword at him. "Leave Beacon now or things will get much worse for you".

"Beacon, eh?" Naruto pondered in thought. "Alright I see what's going on here…" he glanced at her features intensely for a few moments. "How about, instead of all this" Naruto wagged his finger to her sword. "How about we go for a couple of drinks and we can have a little chat… about Yang?" Raven twitched as his words. "Hit the nail on the head I see".

"How did you recognise that? Answer or I will force it out of you" Raven snarled.

"You mentioned Beacon narrowing it down to people there, I know a bit about every person I talk with and your appearance halves that group. You wouldn't threaten me to leave if you had connections in high places. That leaves me with two people and considering you aren't a faunus, not to mention you share similar measurements to Yang so mother like daughter" Naruto sighed. "Also you told me your full name… an infamous huntress, sure it took me a moment but… you know".

"You're much smarter than people give you credit for" Raven commented. "Doesn't mean I am just going to let you go".

"Look, you are strong, no question" Naruto hummed. "But you are not strong enough to take me down before others intervene, that's if you can take me down".

"And? What do you propose?" Raven narrowed her eyes.

"To repeat, a couple of drinks and a chat" Naruto shrugged. "I'm sure we can make a deal" he smiled. 'Please say yes, I'm not sure I can beat you'.

Raven twirled her sword before sheathing it. "You better make this quick or else" she grabbed her mask and lifted it off her face. She shook her head quickly to fix her hair before attaching the mask to her belt.

"Sorry honey but I am not quick at all" Naruto finger gunned Raven.

Raven chuckled slowly as she creepily glared at him. "Very funny" she quickly slashed the wall above Naruto's head with her now unsheathed sword. "Joke, pun or flirt one more time and this chat won't happen, are we clear?"

"Right" Naruto rolled and cracked his neck. "Let's go then" he grunted.
