Path to the Future
Chapter 10: The Raid
After about 12 hours ago Kakashi and his squad had made camp. Now however him, Sakura, and team JNPR were at the last major camp, and it was daylight and they decided to just ambush them when they were on their way out, "Alright let's move out!" They opened their mini little gate and was greeted to Kakashi and his group.
"Sorry but we're crashing this party, if you don't mind," Kakashi said.
"Is that so?" the leader called out, he looked at his men and then back, "Kill them."
Kakashi put his orange book that he had out away, "Well then…" Kakashi lifted his headband to reveal a scared eye, "Looks like I'll have to get serious." He revealed his eyes to be that of the Uchiha bloodline. This puzzled JNPR as they knew from Itachi and Sasuke that this eye was exclusive to them so how did this man get it. They saved that question for another time as bandits charged at them.
Sakura stepped in front and used her semblance, "CHAA!" she yelled as she slammed her fist that was pulsing with aura into the ground. Splitting it open and making debris rise which in turn made others fly up in the air. Those that were still coming at them the others charged at them.
They all separated bandits among themselves, well really it was separated into three groups, team JNPR, Sakura, and Kakashi.
Team JNPR guided at least 20 or so to a more open area. Jaune with his training from Pyrrha and to a minor effects of Menma and Naruto as well had him almost doubled his prowess than what he would've had with just Pyrrha just because of what Naruto said to him that day. Jaune was able to block someone who swung a sword at him with his shield, and Pyrrha jumped over him as she knocked him away from Jaune.
Pyrrha charged forwards and changed Milo into a javelin as she spun it around and thrust it into someones stomach making them go flying into another. She then threw her shield as it hit one and bounced of his head to hit another before coming back to her. She then held it up as Ren used it as a spring with Pyrrha helping with her semblance.
Ren from the air twisted in the air so that his head was facing the ground and he began to spin as he shot his Stormflowers as a spray of bullets fired and hit multiple bandits. One bandit saw Ren's descent and jumped to hit him with an axe only for Ren to correct himself in the air and kick him away as Ren landed.
"Nora shield!" Jaune called out as he slashed an enemy coming to Ren. Nora and Pyrrha understood as Pyrrha used her shield Akouo as a spring again and Nora helped as she fired with her hammer. Nora in the air switched to her rocket launcher before firing at them downing multiple targets, however to end them she switched back to her hammer configuration and slammed into the ground and fired as well, sending out a shockwave defeating the rest. Well almost as one came out from nowhere but was shot by Pyrrha.
With Sakura
Sakura saw about 12 bandits against her. She looked at them with a smirk as she pounded her left open hand with her right fist and charged at them, and punched one so hard that he took three others with him. Sakura from the corner of her eye saw one taking aim at her with a gun. Sakura however was fast enough to dodge and then jump up and slam her fist into his stomach caving it.
Sakura saw another come at her with a sword and dodged him and took a hold of his arm and disarmed him before throwing him to another bandit. Now there was 5 left so they surround her and attacked at once. Sakura punched her hand and clenched it pressing a button on her right hands knuckle. "CHA!" she roared as she slammed her fist into the floor. There was a delay but the bandits felt a rumble before an eruption of fiery Aura blasted out defeating them.
With Kakashi
Kakashi saw about 20 or so come to him with the leader hanging back. Bandits charged him as he began to weave through them as he pulled out a kunai and once he got in between two he scissor kicked them both and after he turned around and block a blade before kicking the user. Kakashi then back flipped over another and slit his neck. He then threw the kunai to an on coming bandit making it stab him in the head.
Kakashi then took up some Lightning Dust and absorbed it, "Lightning Style: Electric Current," Kakashi now with lightning in his hand palmed the ground shocking all other bandit with the exception of the leader.
The leader charge at Kakashi with machete in hand. Kakashi used another kunai and blocked him. There was a struggle before Kakashi backed off slightly making the leader stumble forwards. Kakashi took this chance and kicked the leader into the air, and Kakashi jumped after him and kicked him to the ground so hard that he bounced up off the ground and in that time Kakashi with pure speed appeared in front of him and punched him in the abdomen. The guy coughed up blood.
"You think you've won we have others." He said as he could only kneel down.
Kakashi then made lightning appear in his hand, "Oh we have someone taking care of them. Also sorry in advance I didn't want to play around."
"You think your little huntsman can beat her," he laughed, "Ha they'll get slaughtered."
Kakashi smirked, "I trust in them as four of them are above my level, now then goodbye as your future…" the lightning in his hand grew, "Is death." Kakashi then outstretched his hand and yelled his technique, "Lightning Style: Lightning Beast Running Fang!"
A wolf like beast made of pure blue lightning with red eyes appear, as it roared to life and in a speed comparable to lightning it raced through the man's chest killing him. Kakashi sighed as he covered his Sharingan eye, "It's over." He popped a flare and looked to the now arriving team JNPR and Sakura, "Let's go home." They then began walking back to the village. Not knowing the actual danger it would soon be in.
Naruto and his group had just arrived at their base and also decided to go loud and as of this moment they were taking down dozens upon dozens. Coincidentally this camp was larger than the one Kakashi and his squad was taking care of but they shouldn't be a problem.
Naruto just slashed away with his Ascalon katana. He cut one at the chest which made him hunch over for Naruto to vault over him and in mid air stab another to the ground. Naruto saw another person trying to strike from the air only for them to receive a fist from Yang.
Yang land as she brought her arms back then forward to switch her firing chambers on Ember Celica. She then charged at a group as she strikes one in the chest with a powerful punch sending him flying and after then notice another grunt come from the sky as she used her weapons recoil to launch herself in the air and uppercut the grunt and dealing him with a hard kick sending him back to earth and into another.
As she lands she sees Naruto's scaled tail move past her and knocks a grunt away from her. Naruto then coiled his tail around her waist then pulls her to him he lets go mid pull sending her through the air as she strikes a grunt behind him. Naruto and Yang was now back to back as they get surrounded. Naruto then pulls out his father's Kunai, "What are you going to do with that?"
Naruto at this question realizes something, "That's right I never really used my semblance in front of any of you before. Well now you'll get to see it in action."
Naruto takes the Kunai then flungs it at an enemy. He then disappears and as the Kunai flies by the enemies ear from him dodging it, only for Naruto to reappear behind him, "I got you," he whispers as Naruto deflect the Kunai to the side and slashed the enemy in the back. With Naruto deflecting the Kunai it went to the next person in the circle as Naruto teleports behind him, "Can't you defend!" He shouts and deflect the Kunai to the next as struck down the bandit and this went on consecutively without fail until he teleports to Yang who noticed the same Kunai by her feet.
"Well there you have it. I gained my father's partial semblance though it's a bit different. Flying Thunder God Sequence 1, as we called it but Menma just says teleportation."
"How would it be different than you dad?"
"While my dad doesn't need a Kunai, I do. He could stick it to anything even on someone, that is what made him so deadly you could be marked without even knowing. But enough about that let's continue I want you to get ready as there something else I want to show you."
Yang gets ready as Naruto flings his Kunai into the air near the approaching enemies. "Get ready! I'm sending you through the air!" Yang activated her semblance as Naruto places a hand on her shoulder and teleports her to the knife in mid air. Yang smirks as she plummets down and strikes the ground sending a shockwave knocking out their fair share. Yang turned to Naruto and smirked, "So you could send people as well."
Naruto nodded, "Yes however one is the max as I am not as advance in that stage as my father."
With Menma
Menma and Ruby were teaming up to cut down multiple enemies. Enemies then began to run at them again after defeating a group. "If you want to keep coming then I'll keep putting you down!" Menma the formed his blade to a bladed whip and had it coil around him as he slapped his palm to the ground.
For a second nothing happen until there was a rumble and golden like chains with aura pulsing and showing off of them wrapped the group up. Menma then used aura to conjure up six blades and had them attack the bandits.
"Whoa Menma! What was that chain it was so awesome?!"
Menma looked at her with a smile, "Oh that. That was just my Semblance, I am able to make chains out of my aura because unlike most I inherited my mother's type of aura which was told to be especially special. Don't know why however?"
"That's so cool!"
Menma blushed and smiled as he scratched his head nervously, "Thank you." Menma turned left to see another group come their way, "But enough about that," he switch his whip to it's zanbato form, "There are more coming our way."
Ruby also got ready, "Alright let's do this!"
Menma held out his zanbato for Ruby to jump on it. Menma swung his sword around once with Ruby on it and launched her to the enemies while Ruby shot Crescent Rose multiple times using the recoil to boost her forwards. Once near she spun and sliced through the group making some go airborne. Menma jump and with surprising quickness slash at them with impressive speed as he gave a multitude of them multiple strikes.
Menma then sheathe his sword, while using his semblance, created chains that wrapped around his arms and created a Kunai on the end of it making a whip like weapon. Menma using his new weapon swung and threw the whip forward and ensnared an enemy and then pulled back pulling the enemy with the chain. Ruby intercepted it and struck him out of the chain.
Menma then began to whip his chains around hitting a multitude of enemies all the while Ruby was striking and avoiding Menma as they both danced around each other until the last enemy was struck.
Menma seeing his fight done, receded his chains and high fives Ruby who has to jump to reach him.
With Sasuke and Blake
Sasuke and Blake stood there as they watch their opponents move to attack.
"So how do you want to deal with this?" Blake asked with her weapons drawn as she also rubbed her arm.
"Hm." Sasuke turned on his sharingan then cut it off. "The second option should be enough beat them quickly," Sasuke said. Blake smiled and readied for a fight. Sasuke ran to the group of enemies as he received his sword from his waist and continued to them. He decided to activate his sharingan to activate one of it's perks, as he conducted electricity from his body but then used his blade as a conductor. Sasuke jumped above the enemies first set and began to descend to the middle of them and when Sasuke landed in the middle he struck his sword to the ground, "Chidori Nagashi!" Sasuke yelled letting out a current of electricity paralyzing them.
Sasuke then developed his wings and took to the sky as Blake yelled, "Untouchable Beauty!" and struck her weapons downward creating a curved purple aura slash and then pulled her scabbard up as another projectile was fired. Sasuke landed next to Blake after and another set.
"Tsk," Sasuke felt annoyed that another group came to oppose them, "Fine then," Sasuke unleashed his former chokuto to a katana now, "Blake."
Blake looked to see him use an all too familiar stance, "Right." Blake then charged at the enemies displaying a show of acrobatics and skill as she brought down multiple enemies with the combination of her weapon, Gambol Shroud, and her semblance.
"Ready!" Sasuke called out. Blake used her semblance to get out of the way of Sasuke's attack. Sasuke in a blur sped to the enemies and in a show of speed slashed all of them with what only looked like a couple of strikes and appeared in front of Blake and slowly sheath his weapon that was pulsing with lightning. When finally concealed all enemies dropped to the floor as their body's jerked with electricity.
Blake but her weapon on her back, "Looks like we got them all."
"Not quite," he then without looking took out his chokuto, turned it into a bow, and shot an arrow at a guy in the air, "There, now that's all of them." Blake only giggled at his humor.
With Itachi and Weiss
Itachi with Weiss stared at their enemies. "Weiss. A circular wall of ice if you would. I believe that it is time for you to see my semblance."
Weiss nodded at stabbed Myrtenaster to the ground as a wall of ice surrounded the group. Itachi then jumped high into the sky so that he as he made a single sign (half of tora seal/sign), "Fire Style: Fireball Technique!" Fire then expelled from his mouth and then compressed into a huge fireball that descended upon them. There was then an explosion with mist kicking up until it dispelled showing the defeated enemies.
"Y-you just breathed fire!" Weiss asked in surprised.
Itachi nodded, "One of the abilities of the Sharingan the ability to copy an element most related to you and have it be in your arsenal. As if you are able to wield said element without dust," Itachi however looked on and saw another group come there way, "Looks like we will have to talk at a later date Weiss. We have company."
Weiss nodded, "I understand." Itachi charged at the group as he slashed through multiple people and then backflipped as Weiss came down sliding she pointed at multiple points and lastly behind Itachi. She then sped through multiple grunts as she jumped off all of the glyphs she made all the while striking them as she went off of the last one as Itachi jumped off of the one she created for him slashing and defeating the last one.
Itachi and Weiss were then surrounded by another group. Weiss was going to attack but Itachi put a hand on her shoulder and smiled at her his rare small smile and relaxed as she put her weapon back on her waist. Itachi also sheathed his weapon while activated his sharingan, as the thugs attack all at once. Itachi then erupted in multiple birds on fire with black flames with them all erupting and finished them off all the while creating a beautiful picture as Weiss just stood there relaxed her eyes closed as the birds protected her. The birds once finished circled around Weiss and the converged behind her as Itachi appeared from the mini Phoenixes.
The gang then all converged to the captain's' tent. As they flung it open and saw the captain sitting in his chair without a care in the word, as he knew he couldn't take them but still showed no fear, "It's over your group of bandits here has been defeated as well as the group in the west." Naruto told as he point his sword at the captain.
"Hm is that so?" He then got up from his seat, "But did you really win?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes at this information, "What do you mean?"
The captain chuckled, "You may have with this base and the one in the east…" the captain then gave a smirk, "But what about the one in the North." All of their eyes widened and Naruto reacted with aggression.
Naruto flew with his dragon wings on full display, as he held the man by the throat, "Explain."
The captain smirked, "Did you honestly think that we had a contingency plan? In the North is the leader of our tribe. She is ruthless and she will show no mercy." He then quickly took out a weapon and shot a signal flat with red smoke that what they assumed was a message to the North base. He then started laughing, "Hehehe. It's over." Naruto then threw him so hard that he went through the tent, through another, and then hit a tree knocking him out. Naruto ran out side sent a green flare signaling the base was taken over.
"We have to get to the village. RWBY we will carry all of you as we are going full speed back to the village," Naruto said. Naruto then picked up Yang and flew through the skies as fast as he could, Sasuke and Itachi did the same with Blake and Weiss respectively, and lastly Menma put Ruby on his back and ran. With his speed as a fox he was able to easily keep up with the others.
In the North
"Leader!" A grunt bursted through a big tent, "we just got red flare from the west!" The women had black long spiky hair, a white helmet like Grimm mask, a scabbard for her odachi and lastly a black and red outfit with red beads around her chest like a necklace.
"Is that so," she contemplated, "We're moving out! Full speed to the village. Raid it but if you see any huge house leave it be I will take care of those." When her soldier left she took off the mask to reveal red eyes, "Hiruzen," this woman was Raven Branwen leader of the Branwen Tribe.
"Vernal I want you to stay here until I get back."
