It's been a week since the situation at the docks. Kurama has been trying to figure out what is the next step in Cinder's plan. All he knows is that their is a White Fang meeting happening now at a abandoned warehouse.
'But why would Naruto want me to keep an eye on Ruby and her team.' Kurama keeps walking around Vale.
Kurama stops when sensing someone fighting nearby. 'That's the silver eye girl's aura. But I also sense, that's not good.' Kurama starts running towards the location of the fight.
(Few Minutes ago)
Naruto was not having a good day. He had Roman go to the White Fang meeting to persuade Faunus to join the White Fang. It was all going well until he received a message from him saying their was a spy at the meeting.
The next second he hears a explosion nearby. "Looks like I need to help Roman," Naruto said to himself. Naruto starts jumping from roof to roof following behind Roman. He gets a view from the person who sneaked into the meeting.
Naruto recognizes her being a member of team RWBY. 'Looks like they ruined another operation. Now I'm going to have to kill them. But first I will watch them fight Roman.'
Naruto follows them into the highway where he witnesses Roman getting pushed off the highway in the Padlin. Naruto watches them use their semblances to cut one of the arms off the Padlin.
He watches Roman land a hit on Yang hitting her through a support piller. He notices she suffered nearly no damage. 'I see. She could absorb physical attacks and use that to boost up her pysical strength. Ruby has speed while Blake is able to create clones and infuse them with elements. Weiss hasn't even mastered her semblance.'
Naruto also watches as they use their different set of skills to do team attacks. 'I'm impressed this type of teamwork took my old team months to do. Even then it wasn't as good as team RWBY's.'
Naruto witnessed Yang destroy the Padlin in one punch causing it to shatter. Yang shot Roman but someone lands in front of him blocking the shot with her weapon.
"About time you got here Neo," Roman said. Naruto jumps down and Lands next to Neo and Roman surprising them.
"Both of your leave now. I will handle it from here." Neo and Roman shatter and a bullhead nearby starts to leave the area.
Naruto dodges Yang's punch and jumps back. "Team RWBY it's an honor to finally meet you. But I wish it wasn't like this."
"Who are you," Weiss Asked. Team RWBY stay on Guard.
"I'm someone who is starting to get annoyed with your interference. I'm giving you girls one chance to leave and stop messing with my daughter's Operation," Naruto Said.
"No. We won't stop until you all are arrested," Weiss answered.
"Then you four leave me no choice. Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu." Weiss makes an ice wall protecting them from the attack.
"Freezerburn." Ruby and Blake jump back. Yang jumps into the air while Weiss makes the floor below her ice. Yang punches the floor with her weapon creating mist.
Naruto activates his Rinnegan and holds his arms out. "Almighty Push." Team RWBY feel an invisible force push them away from Naruto and getting rid of the mist.
"What in the world was that. That took down a large amount of our aura," Weiss Said. Team RWBY were having some trouble standing up.
'His eyes. Blind his eyes.' Ruby looks around trying to find the Voice. Ruby looks at Naruto noticing his right eye looking purple with a pattern added to them while his left is red with different pattern.
"Any of you have any ideas on how to blind him for a few seconds," Ruby asked trusting the voice. Blake looks towards the broken Padlin.
"Try to distract him while I check the broken Padlin," Blake Said. Weiss and Ruby look at eachother before nodding.
"Ice Flower." Ruby shoots at Naruto at the same time Weiss shoots muiltiple projectiles at Naruto.
Naruto starts going through some hand signs before slamming the ground. "Earth Style: Mud Wall." Blake uses this opportunity to sneak around and starts searching through the broken Padlin.
Ruby's and Weiss's shots hit the wall not reaching their target.
Ruby and Weiss side step when an lightning spear nearly hits them. They looks towards the mud wall noticing it's coming through it.
The spear disappears and the mid wall lowers back into the ground. "I must say, I'm impressed you were able to dodge my chidori spear. But now I'm going to eliminate you all."
Before Naruto could react something lands in front of him. "YANG NOW," Blake screamed. At the same time a flash could be seen causing Naruto to rub his eyes.
"YOU." Naruto is interrupted by Yang punching him repeatedly. Yang lands her final punch in his chest throwing Naruto back into a piller. Naruto spits out blood.
'I underestimated them. Nobody has caught me off guard like that. They are going to be a treat in the future.' Naruto stands back up slowly still suffering some pain. But regained his eyesight back.
Naruto hears sirens nearby. "Looks like i underestimated you four. Next time you won't be so lucky." Naruto disappears in a yellow flash.
"Ruby how did you know to aim for his eyes," Blake asked.
"I don't know I just had a feeling," Ruby answered not telling the truth. Blake notices but doesn't question it.
"Let's get back to beacon. I want some sleep," Weiss said. Team RWBY start walking towards Beacon. Ruby stops and looks behind her noticing a Fox watching her.
She walks towards it. "Ruby what are you doing," Yang asked.
"It's nothing their is just a Fox right there," Ruby said turning back towards the Fox but it's no longer their.
"Nevermind let's just get back to beacon Yang,"Ruby Said.
Kurama lowers his genjutsu. "Ruby Rose. I see I was right about you and your team. Maybe it won't be so bad if I make myself known to them. Naruto did say to keep an eye out on them and what better way to do then to live with them."
Kurama speeds up before jumping on Ruby's head startling her. Ruby grabs what on her head and notices it the fox watching her.
"Hey their little guy. What's your name," Ruby said too tired to even hug the adorable fox to death. Kurama licks her nose before jumping on her shoulder and going back to sleep.
"I I wasn't so tired I would take him from you Ruby," Weiss said. Ruby looks at the Fox on her shoulder having a weird feeling about him.
(With Cinder)
Cinder is going through the information she gathered but is interrupted by a message from her father.
'Keep an eye on team RWBY. Send me information about them when you have it.'
"Emerald I have a job for you and Mercury." Emerald and Mercury sit up from their bed.
"What is the mission Cinder," Emerald asked.
"I want you to gather information about team RWBY. You have until the beginning of the festival. Do not fail me."
"We won't Cinder," Emerald said. Mercury just nods.
(Next Day at Beacon)
"So what the information you have for us today Kurama," Ozpin asked.
Right now Ozpin is having a private meeting with Minato, Kushina and Glynda.
"All I have is that Naruto now sees team RWBY as a threat. Naruto is planning something Big. I still don't know what though," Kurama said.
"Do you at least know when he is planning to start his plan," Ozpin asked.
"His plan is already in motion. He has the dust already. I just don't know why he would need so much dust," Kurama said getting irritated.
"How strong is he then," Minato asked.
"Naruto is one of the strongest beings alive along with Salem. Naruto knows almost every Jutsu ever created. Good thing Naruto didn't want to learn Sealing since that reminded him of his past. Naruto alone could level an army or destroy a city. He has Sasuke's Sharingan and Rinnegan," Kurama explained.
Everyone stays silent. Ozpin grip on his mug tightens.
"But When I said the Naruto you know is no more I kind of lied and said the truth at the same time."
"Explain Kurama," Kushina asked not understanding what he said.
"Naruto might be able to hide his feelings from everyone around him but he can't from me. Underneath all that rage and anger is the old Naruto. But thanks to everything that happened with the death of Hinata and the betrayal of everyone he saw as family, he is lost in his anger just like Obito once was. Only difference is Naruto suffered a worse fate then Obito. Obito was able to go into the afterlife and reunite with his love Rin," Kurama stopped for a moment before continuing.
"But Naruto wasn't. He was cursed with not being able to die. From their he abandoned the Uzumaki name. He lost a part of himself. He blamed humanity as a whole for his curse. But the worst of all was that I had to witness my partner attempt sucide muiltiple times," Kurama said.
"Didn't you try to help him at least," Glynda Said.
"You think i didn't. I tried my hardest to help Naruto. But it wasn't enough. By the time Naruto finally stopped trying to end his own life, Humanity was born. But also the Faunus. Naruto wanted to stay away from Humanity but that changed when a girl no younger than 12 was about to be raped by three Men."
"The girl triggered one of Naruto's seals that he used to alert him if any intruders were close to his cabin. When Naruto made it to the girls location, he lost it. He brutally murdered the three men. He healed the Faunus girl and asked her the directions of her village. When Naruto got their he murdered ever human. Every child, everyone who was human was killed no matter what age. From their his reputation grew. To Faunus he was a savior. But to Humans he was a monster," Kurama said.
"Is their any way to bring Naruto back to his senses," Kushina Said.
"If you were two thousands years early then maybe. But now that he works with Salem their is not much we can do," Kurama said.
"How did Naruto change when Salem recruited him," Minato asked.
"The change didn't happen until the aftermath of the Battle between Ozma and Naruto. Salem healed Naruto and reattached his Right arm. As I said before Naruto gave Salem his full loyalty." Kurama is interrupted by Minato.
"I didn't question you before Kurama but now I am. No more lies what is the relationship between Naruto and Salem," Minato said with a glare.
"Naruto and Salem have feelings towards eachother but don't show it. Naruto can't let go of the past and Salem doesn't want to risk being betrayed again," Kurama answered.
"What your plan Kurama. I know you have a plan and you hiding it," Ozpin asked.
"I plan to make Ruby Rose my Jinchurki. With her help we might be able to bring down Naruto. But of course she will need to train with my power and her own. But she might be able to bring the old Naruto back."
"If you do this Kurama. You will be risking her life to fight someone who is hundred times stronger than her," Minato said.
"Yes but did you forget that if I extract my power from Naruto he will be weakened enough for us to escape during the attack," Kurama said.
"If that is all then everyone is dismissed. We do have a Dance to prepare for this weekend. Kurama stay for a minute I want to talk with you," Ozpin said.
Kushina and Minato made their way towards the elevator. Ozpin waits for them to leave before facing Kurama.
"Why did you tell them information that is better kept hidden," Ozpin said. Kurama glares at Ozpin.
"Because they will find out sooner or later. Sooner or later they will find out about everything you are hiding. The truth about you and Salem. The truth about the curse that you, Naruto and Salem have. And when they find out you are on your own Ozma." Kurama disappears from the room.
