Path to the Future
Chapter 19: RWBY's Investigation
Naruto was in his room as he got ready with his team. He wore a black long sleeve under a grey dress shirt with one side over the other and six buttons on it in a 2x3 format. It went to his waist with two sections extending to his legs which had gold on the tips. Lastly he had a fur trench coat that had a hood, fur for its collar, and reached down to his ankles. There was a gold tip that connected with its gold trimming. It had two buttons and a strap below them that went around his back to the other side of the coat. The sleeves were folded to his biceps to show a section of it was white on his lower section of his biceps. On the sleeve was a golden square under a golden diamond shaped pattern that fitted a red diamond shaped design. On his upper biceps the rest was black that connected to the rest of the coat. He had black pants and black and white boot with the white going straight down the middle and black gloves. In the back of everything was his tail swishing around.
Sasuke wore a high collar grey shirt which had a dark blue almost purple outline on the edges of the shirt. Over it was a black long sleeve jacket with a golden pin by hood, and on each side there was half of a diamond shape with the outer region golden colored and dark blue in side the diamond shape design. On the sleeve on the wrist turned from black to dark blue, also with a white streak going down the sleeve of the jacket. He also have black pants with it folded and held by a golden pin, and finally black shoes to finish his outfit with black fingerless gloves.
Menma had a black sweater, and a grey jacket, with a hood that had fur on it. The hood however instead of starting from the side was starting from the the chest as it appeared as a sort of scarf. He had a medium sized zipper and had one strap across his chest concealing his chest area and on the sleeves he had two straps on both arms. He had a belt that crossed into an x. Lastly he wore black and grey pants with black straps near his calves with black gloves.
Lastly Itachi wore a black dress shirt with a white tie along with a zip grey vest. Over that was a white shirt with a black hood with the inside being red. He also had a red cloth tied to his left arm, with the sleeve folded showing the black. He had the black pants with black and grey boots and black gloves.
Also they had all had a hidden earpiece in there ear, and then a voice that was Ozpin made itself known to the team, "Well I wish you good luck. Please keep team RWBY safe."
"No problem Ozpin, you can count on us," Menma said with Sasuke adjusting his gloves.
"I'm counting on you." Ozpin said as he cut off the connection as they took their earpieces off and put them in their pockets.
They then made their way to RWBY's room and when they opened they found Team RWBY with Sun and a blue haired guy. "Hey Naruto where is Ryoko?" Yang asked.
He started walking in as he answered, "She is safe with JNPR, I suggested to give her a futon to sleep on but Pyrrha said she could sleep with her, while we were 'out'. However I have a question," Naruto then looked, at the blue haired guy, "Who the fuck are you?" He said with a bored expression, making his brother chuckle.
"His name is Neptune, he's on my team," Sun said.
Naruto nodded, "Good to know," he said nonchalant, which made Neptune dropped to the floor comedically. "Anyway, we'll be informed as we go so what's going on."
"Well we separated this into teams," Ruby said.
"Alright then just place us, on this we will follow your team's' decisions. We will be taking a backseat so it's on you Ruby. I know you can do it," Naruto said.
Ruby blushed at the praise and then nodded, "Alright then, Naruto you will be going with Yang and Neptune," Naruto nodded at this. "Sasuke your with Sun and Blake, while Menma and Itachi your with Weiss and I. We will inform you on the way." Team IMSN nodded as their groups left leaving Neptune, Yang, and Naruto.
Yang looked to Naruto, "Are you going to be able to follow us through the air, while we are on the bike?"
Naruto chuckled, "Is that a challenge? You should already know how fast I am."
"Then we'll see you their honey," Yang flirted as she left for her bike.
"Wait you guys are dating?" Neptune asked.
"Yes," Naruto answered.
"And you're okay with me riding with her?"
"Yes because if we were being honest she would throw you off and run you over before I could even do anything," Naruto said while walking out with Neptune following.
"Wooooow!" Ruby squealed, "I forget how big the transmit tower looks up close!"
"You should see the one in Atlas," Weiss said.
"That was the first one built right?"
"Correct, Atlas developed the Cross Continental Transmit System, for the four kingdoms to communicate with one another. It was their gift to the world after the great war," Weiss stated.
"Ooh look at me, I'm Weiss I know facts, I'm rich" Ruby mimicked as she and Menma giggled.
"There isn't anything wrong with knowing a lot of information Ruby," Itachi countered.
Weiss smiled, "Thank you Itachi, besides the only reason we're here is because you like the tower so much, we could have just easily made a call from the library."
"I know but it's so cool, ooh I'm going to take a picture," Ruby then fumbles with her scroll and drops it to where subsequently Penny was to pick it up. "Penny? Where have you been we haven't seen you since the night at the docks?"
"S-sorry I think your confused," Penny said as she hiccupped and flung Ruby's scroll to her, "I've got to go." Penny then began to leave.
"What was that about?" Weiss asked.
"I don't know, but Menma and I are going to find out." Ruby and Menma then ran after Penny.
"Wait?!" Weiss then sighed and left for inside with Itachi as they walked all the way to a station, using Weiss' name.
They reached a terminal three, "Thank you for calling the Atlas, oh miss Schnee, good afternoon, would you like me to patch you through to your father, I think your sister Winter might be here as well?"
Weiss put up a fake smile, something that Itachi saw and wasn't happy about but decided to hold his tongue and let Weiss do her business. After she was finished he addressed her, "Family issues I assume?"
Weiss nodded knowing full well she couldn't play stupid with Itachi, "Yes."
Itachi began to get up to leave, "I won't push you but just know, that if there is anything that you need then I will be there for you Weiss."
Weiss blushed until they made it outside, "How?"
Itachi stopped, "How what?"
"How are you able to do that? Make me feel safe I mean."
Itachi thought, "Honestly. I don't know," Weiss looked at him perplexed, "I don't have all the answers, we all make mistakes, I just say what I believe I should. You are special to me, just like how everyone else is. I will always be here for you, all you need is ask."
Weiss felt incredibly moved by what Itachi said and looked away from Itachi in order to hide her blush embarrassment.
Yang after a long drive finally stopped and took her helmet off, "Come on my friends right in here," she said and Naruto landed and walked to her with Neptune following slightly dazed, something Naruto filed away for later use.
As soon as they were in view of the of the door, the guards in front of it ran inside in a panic, saying that, 'She's back,' to which Naruto looked at Yang, "Do I even want to know what you did to this place to make them fear you so bad."
"I asked for some information about my mother, they didn't have so I kicked their asses."
Naruto sweatdropped at his girlfriend, "So… you kicked their because they didn't have something?" Naruto then sighed, "Right should have known."
Yang pouted at Naruto with her arms crossed, "Hey! What's that supposed to mean?"
Naruto waved her off, "Nothing honey let's go shall we, I'll even give you the honors."
Yang smirked as she cracked her knuckles, while Neptune just looked at the two feeling he was slightly forgotten.
Seconds later Yang blasted the door down, "Guess who's back!" Her answer was multiple guns pointed at them, with the music busted.
Neptune popped out behind Yang, "Yeah, could you define friend for me?"
"Stop, stop!" Junior said, who was the owner of the club, "Blonde, your here why?"
"You still owe me a drink," she said as she dragged Junior off.
"Oh what a women," Neptune said dazed.
What he didn't count for was fr Naruto to still be there, so Naruto casually punched him across the club, "That's strike two."
"What about strike three!"
"I don't believe in strike three." Naruto responded and walked off to Yang.
"I don't know," Junior said.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Yang asked.
"I haven't seen him since the night you first came up here. He paid up front, I lent him my men and none of them ever came back."
Neptune then came back as he recovered, "So where did they go?"
We all looked at him for a second before Junior answered, "What kind of stupid question is that? They never came back. Who are these guys?"
"The blue head is a friends of my teams, and the other is my boyfriend but right you should be worrying about me, if I don't find out what I want," Yang said.
"I already told you, I-"
"Alright that's enough," Naruto interrupted, "I grow tired of this, and you can ask my friends here how I get when I am annoyed," Naruto's eyes turned red as he spoke again, "So here is the deal, Junior have you heard of the name Namikaze?"
Junior clicked his teeth, "Tch, who hasn't at this point."
"Then let me introduce myself, my name is Naruto Namikaze, and I believe you know that you my family a favor do you not?" Junior began to start sweating as he knew the power that the last two Namikaze's had, thankful it wasn't against him, so to not bring this Namikaze's wrath he nodded, "Good now, tell everything you can."
Junior nodded, "As I told they never came back, however I do know that a crate of prototype weaponry was stolen from Atlas and with it they are transporting outside the Kingdom. Something big is coming, and that's all I know."
Yang pondered on this information, "Outside the kingdom huh?" Yang then turned, "Come on we're leaving, we got what wh can." They made it outside until they got a call with Neptune screaming help, "Where are you guys?"
"Over here!"
"I think that was them?" Neptune said.
"Yeah I got it," Yang turned her bike to chase, as Naruto took to the skies.
Sasuke, Blake, and Sun jumped from car to car to get away from the mech, however what they didn't expect was more White Fang members on motorcycles who began shooting at them. "Dammit," Sasuke said. He took out his weapon in bow configuration and began shooting at the mech and the people on bikes. In the distance he saw Yang, Neptune, and Naruto coming from behind the other White Fang members, some of which turned to shoot. Yang used her bike to dodge the bullets, however this allowed one to sneak up on Yang and had a gun to her face. Naruto however came in just in time to kick him off the motorcycle and drove it himself.
Sasuke decided to go help, so he jumped and dodged Roman's mech punch and used it to vault onto Naruto's bike, "I'll set them up and you knock them down!" Naruto yelled as he sped ahead of Yang as Sasuke took aim destroying multiple bikes. When there was one left, Naruto turned to Sasuke, "Take control," Naruto said as he stood up looked behind him and backflipped off the bike and onto the faunus' bike pushing him off. "Neptune now is the time to shoot!"
"On it," Neptune took out his rifle and opened fired at the mech doing damage to it. He then switched it to a spear and struck at it stabbing it but it made him stuck and had to hold on.
"Neptune hold on!" Sun yelled, as he used his semblance as his clones attacked the mech, before the mech batted away both Neptune and Sun.
"Sun, dammit!" Sasuke said, however before he could do anything Itachi came flying in as he landed on the Mech, "Itachi!" Said brother brought out his pistol and began firing on the mech.
"I'm in position!" Weiss yelled onto the communication line, with that Itachi jumped off and onto Sasuke's bike. Weiss then waited for the perfect time and froze the floor making it slip off the edge to where Menma and Ruby were waiting.
Everyone regrouped as Ruby said, "FreezerBurn!" as everyone moved out of the way Weiss froze the ground only to have Yang smash it from the air creating a mist to mask their presence.
Roman searched for them on his radar, but everytime he shot he missed, until Ruby came from the mist and struck at him as she primed her weapon and yelled, "CheckMate!" Weiss and Blake began to attack its legs with slashes and strikes from their swords, when Weiss struck the sensor right above its legs destroying it. Roman then tried to stomp on Blake on for Weiss to pull her back with her glyph. Roman then fired missiles at them, until Weiss jumped and was going to be struck by one but a command from Naruto saved her from damage, "BlackFan!" Itachi came from the air and cut the missile in half as Sasuke shot out an arrow coated by Itachi's black flames, hitting the other missiles coming as it exploded in the air.
Weiss before she hit the ground summoned a glyph on the ground, this glyph was her time dilation. Blake jumped into the glyph and when Roman fired more missiles she struck them all down with aura waves in a fast motion that Roman couldn't keep up with. "LadyBug!" Ruby called out as she ran past the the mech, then her and Blake began to slice at the leg as they alternated positions with each strike, then they jumped into the air and cut off one of its arms.
Yang then jumped on the mech and began punching it while firing Ember Celica. Roman after a while had enough as he rammed his back, which Yang was on into the a pillar breaking it and as Yang was falling it switch to a fist and loaded to strike her, "Yang!" Blake yelled.
However that strike did not connect, as Naruto teleported to Yang and used his sword to block the punch, as you could see he was in his full dragon form. Naruto held it there before he pointed one hand at Yang, "Here this should be enough to destroy it in one shot," Naruto fired some aura that hit her.
"What is Naruto doing all he did was give her some aura?" Blake questioned.
"Yes but combine that energy with her semblance, the ability to take damage and counter back, is a deadly combination," Ruby informed.
Yang then burst into flames as her eyes were red like Naruto's and while Naruto held the mech in place, Yang came from behind him and punched it destroying it in one hit. Roman then kicked her, only for Ruby to call out, "BumbleBee!" As Blake threw her weapon in its sickle form for Yang to catch it, and Blake swung her around for she could hit the mech. Naruto saw their plan and jumped away from them, only for Yang to miss as Roman jumped back.
Naruto growled, "NavyFox, ground him!" Menma smirked as he turned his weapon into a blade whip, and swung at him.
"IceFlower!" Ruby told Weiss and with her glyph both Ruby and Sasuke, shot ice arrows and bullets. Menma weapon then wrapped itself around the mech and then stuck itself into the ground holding it in place.
"Now or never!" Naruto yelled and with one more swing from Blake, Yang got in ranged and punched the mech obliterating it and sending Roman onto the ground.
As Roman recovered he said, "Ugh, I just got this clean." Yang then fired a shot at Roman only for pink and brown haired short girl to block it with her umbrella. "Ladies, gentlemen, and ice queen."
"Hey!"
"Always a pleasure Neo, if you would?" Neo bowed to them mockingly, which pissed Yang off as she launched to them and punched them only for them to shatter like glass. They all looked up as they were in a bullhead taking off.
"I don't think so!" Naruto and Sasuke then flew at them and was in the bullhead in a matter of a second. Roman and Neo shocked at this quickly armed themselves, for combat as Naruto used his quickdraw, to attack, who barely had time to block with her umbrella. Sasuke reversed gripped his chokuto and slashed at Roman who used his cane to guard.
"Woah they're so fast," Weiss stated.
"Yeah look at them go, they may even be able to beat Pyrrha with no problem," Ruby said.
Naruto struck out with his sword for Neo to block it, but Naruto tripped her, and then tried to stab her only for Neo to flip upwards, and catch Naruto's chin with her foot. Naruto recovered quickly and decided he was done holding back, as sheath his sword and began to fire off multiple kicks at Neo who either blocked or dodged them, however Naruto went for a low sweep again but this time Neo flipped backwards, however this gave Naruto a split second to react and he took it when he appeared before Neo and unsheathe his sword striking her in the abdomen, but thanks to her aura she didn't sustain a cut, however do to the force it knocked her into the wall.
Sasuke struck at Roman and noticed that Roman was barely able to react, so he upped his speed, as he went faster until he jumped and tried to axe kick Roman, to have Roman barely blocked it, however Sasuke threw his sword, giving Roman a split second to dodge. However Sasuke used his semblance and switched places with his sword and kicked Roman in the back to into the cockpit.
Roman angered, fired a shot to the floor of the ship, using it's small space to blow away and quickly made his escaped.
Naruto and Sasuke slowly glided down as Sasuke then put away his wings, "Damn they got away," Sasuke said.
"Well I guess you could say that she made our plans… fall apart," Weiss jokes.
"No," Yang denied.
"What you do it too?"
"There is a time and place for jokes."
"Was this not it?"
"No it just wasn't very good."
However Menma, Sasuke, and Itachi deadpanned as they all thought, 'Your jokes aren't good either.'
Hello everyone I'm back and I'm so so sorry for the lack of update, I could not find a time to write as I had vacation time from school and everything two weeks ago, and then I couldn't find time to actually work on this because I was so busy.
So basically life, however I will say that this wasn't all. I have been wanting to do another fiction with just RWBY and OCs, so expect that tomorrow. What I can say about it is that it starts after Vol. 2 but before Vol. 3. Then after I get done with this story and get the next one done up to Vol. 3, I was thinking about doing another RWBY crossover but this time, this crossover I will be using a lot of anime and games and will take place AFTER SALEM IS DEFEATED.
So that is what has been going on behind the scenes. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll hopefully catch you guys next time.
Oh before I forget someone asked why Sasuke didn't use his sharingan to put an illusion to make it seem that Emerald and Mercury did kill Tuckson. Well the answer to that was because he can't. As I said in previous chapters, the Sharingan itself has changed, one of those changes are genjutsu as they won't be able to do them, however there are exceptions to this rule which will be revealed later.
Anyway thanks for reading see you next time.
