A/N: Hey guys, sorry for the late update and short chapter. Been pretty busy with school these days, and of course high cause Solskjaer is pure magic. Anyway, here ya go for A New Purpose 10! By the way, I'm going to admit the fact that I forgot my own legend so here's a new one:
"Hey man," normal speech.
"Hey buddy," Japanese speech.
'This guy's mad.' Normal thought
'This guy's insanely strong.' Japanese thought.
"Amusing." Powerful being's speech.
"Weak, yet powerful." Powerful being's thought.

Ozpin, the ever deadpanned Huntsman, with his expression becoming even expressionless if that's even possible, made no comment of what is behold in front of him.
"Shut up! Stop laughing already!"
"Ahahaha, ahahaha! Calm down, calm down, I heard people will become even shorter if they're always mad!"
"My name is Katsura Koutaro, a pleasure to meet you."
3 peculiar children, same age if not younger or older than Gintoki. Not to mention the fact that their way of dressing is similar. The angry short boy, short dark violet hair with bangs covering some of his forehead.
The boy who kept laughing that, Ozpin admitted, annoying laugh is definitely taller by a couple inches or more, maybe on par with Gintoki. In fact, his hair is a brown perm that is messy just like said silverhead.
And the last one, if he didn't speak, Ozpin would be ashamed of not able to guess his gender. A feminine face, with a long raven hair tied into a ponytail. Of course, in terms of height, he would be the medium, laughing boy high, and angry boy low.
Lastly of course, a must addressed situation, Ozpin stared intently on Qrow, who wilted underneath his gaze and sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. Sweat dampening the old crow's face.
"Before you ask, Oz, yes, they've been like this ever since I found them." A trained Huntsman might be able to notice the twitch on Ozpin's expression.
Sighing, grabbing their attention as he did so, he spoke, "So, mind telling us your name? Except you of course, Mr. Katsura. My name is Ozpin, the Headmaster of Beacon Academy, where you currently at."
"Beacon? Never heard of 'em, old man. And I don't give name to random old man." The short one answered.
"Ahahaha, ahahaha! Well, my name is Sakamoto Tatsuma, nice to meet you!" At the particular language used on the last part of the sentence, both adults grown wide-eyed.
'They're from the same place as Gintoki.' Ozpin looked at Qrow, and the other nodded swiftly.
'Definitely, Oz. However, in terms of skill, we might be able to find it out soon.'
Finished fucking with the physics of the universe through telepathic communication without Semblance in play, Ozpin heaved out another sigh.
"Mr. Sakamoto," said boy perked up hearing his name, "Was the place you were at still at war?"
The boy's joyful expression soured into something else, he shook his head firmly. "It's still on-going. But, by the look of it, the Samurai's might lose anytime soon. Honestly, by the look of it, it's a one-sided war."
Ozpin hummed in thought. The answer given to him is definitely truthful judging by the boy's expression. But there's still one fact that is bothering him. He felt he might went insane if he couldn't get the answer.
Where is this battlefield happening? Vale, Atlas, Vacuo, Mistral? Ozpin is a man who kept in touch with the world, any event, he will know about it. So that begged the question: If there is a war going on, where is it happening? Is it small-scale war or a large one?
Of course, he won't be fully interrogating them. Judging by the look on their face, it's something they wouldn't be willing to talk about.
The Headmaster heaved out another audible sigh, "Qrow, give them a tour around the academy. After you finish, contact me, I will give you the number of their dorm room."
"Crystal, Oz."
-LINE BREAK-
He woke up in this room, a very familiar room he went in a few times. Blanket covered his body, giving a comfortable warmth. He surveyed his surroundings to find any familiar someone.
He found no such person.
Sakata Gintoki rose from the bed. His dead-fish eyes looked so tired as if it never rest for a decade or two. Said eyes found a note on top of a nearby study desk. Grabbing said note, he began reading it in his mind.
'I'm sorry, Gintoki, I couldn't stay long enough for you to wake up, I have classes for today. But I promise I will see you right after I finish all my classes, okay? And then, we will hang out just like before, even if its with the exception of the members of the team. I promise. Yours truly, Velvet Scarlatina.'
"So, I'm really at Team CFVY's dorm room. How did I ev-" he didn't finish his words as memories of yesterday's event replayed in his mind. He felt his body suddenly weakening, and his expressionless face turned to that of a saddened one. 'I'm really pathetic. I shouldn't have done that, now Velvet is worried.'
He wrote a note of his own, doing as best as he could, considering he's not really good at writing, but he's good at reading. Just not the writing part. He wanted to get out, feel the fresh air, pray to whatever Deity's available in Remnant he will not encounter Team RWBY or Team JNPR.
Of course, Gintoki have experiences on what time will Velvet finish her class at. And considering today –he took a glance at the clock and calendar for the date- is Thursday, she will be here at around 2:00pm, an hour and a half from now. He made a mantra of 'I'll be here at 2, I'll be here at 2,' as a way to not forget his own goal.
Sakata Gintoki left the room, closing the door gently. He left the note he wrote on the study desk, next to Velvet's note.
'I'll be back soon.'
-LINE BREAK-
Ruby Rose kept on walking aimlessly. It's lunch time, of course, and she took this opportunity to take a walk, something her sister, Yang, rose an eyebrow at. No matter, she couldn't get it off her head. She tried, but she truly couldn't, and as a result, lack of sleep, something that went noticed by her teammates, but she waved off their concern.
'You don't know how it feels to steal, to kill just to survive!'
'I suppose, in a way, our life, even if Grimm is involved, are much easier compared to Gintoki's.' She thought.
She kept on walking, no destination in mind, but her aim is clear. Walk. That is all she knew at the moment, and of course, she's keeping track of her time, so no chance of her entering class late. The next class is Combat Class with Professor Glynda Goodwitch, a class that might take her thoughts off her head.
"Oof!" "Uggh!" Two grunts of pain emitted, one coming out from her. She looked up to see who she bumped to, and she saw a pair of rabbit ears. She shook herself to get out of her stupor, "S-sorry, Velvet, I wasn't paying any attention…"
The rabbit Faunus only kept her gaze on Ruby for a moment before smiling. "It's alright, I was not paying any attention too."
An awkward silence filled the air, and the atmosphere became really uncomfortable. Both girls not knowing what to say, for they were not close friends, only acquaintance. But even so, Ruby can't remember anything as awkward as this exact moment. She took a breath and decided to break the silence.
"Um…Velvet?" the girl in question brought her attention to her, "Do you know where Gintoki is? I need to speak to him about something."
"Oh, he's in my dorm room, Team CFVY's dorm room. I was about to head there, want-"
"Hey, I heard some kids are fighting right now!" a voice grabbed their attention.
"What!? Who!?"
"Some guy with silver perm hair and a violet haired midget!"
Hearing the word 'silver perm hair', both of them know, and only received one thought on their mind, Sakata Gintoki. And unknown to each of them, both are thinking one same thing, something that shows, they care for him, even Ruby.
'What are you even doing right now, Gintoki!?'
-LINE BREAK-
With Gintoki, few minutes or something before Ruby's and Velvet's conversation….
Exiting the hallway, his sight are gifted with the view of the courtyard, and he set his destination, his sleeping tree. No matter what, that tree comfort him, though, he liked it even better when its Velvet doing it.
A couple of head shaking reduced his blushes too smithereens.
Considering that it's the time where classes are almost over and different person mean different classes, the courtyard is filled with the student of the academy. Colourful clothes, shiny hair, sparkles, and some interesting weapons.
"Oh, if it isn't the first brat I found in a forest." A distinctly familiar voice called out.
Gintoki turned around to see the man, and true to what he thought, its Qrow Branwen in the flesh. Though, his eyes narrowed seeing the familiar crimson orbs. 'Should have seen that before.'
"Hoh? Giving me the silent approach, eh?"
"Shut up, drunkard. Besides, you're the first guy I've ever harmed, so feel honoured about that." Gintoki was mentally pleased to see a tick veins on the old crow's temple. "And what's this, you manage to find a girl and have 3 kids at once? Hungry, aren't you?" Gintoki's face was that of a shit-eating grin, while picking his nose, although his face screams come get me.
"What the fuck is your problem? We're not illegitimate children, if there are, it's you!" A midget shouted at him, and Gintoki's response was picking his ear and blowing win on his pinky.
Gintoki deadpanned at him, and rose an eyebrow, "So?"
"Takasugi! Accusing someone of such things is a trait of a true Samurai!"
Samurai.
Samurai.
He said 'Samurai'.
All four of them, included Qrow, felt an intense bloodlust oozing out from the silverhead. Qrow narrowed his eyes, hand ready on the hilt of his weapon should anything happen. 'This amount of bloodlust coming from a kid is very unlikely,' he thought absentmindedly. Qrow heard the familiar sound of a sword in the process of unsheathing, he nudged his head to the side and seen something he doesn't like.
Takasugi's expression became murderous, although not to the same intensity as Gintoki's. "You want a fight!?" By now, his sword is fully unsheathed, a straight blade with no guard. "Fine, I will give you one!"
Gintoki unsheathed his sword faster than anyone could blink, and without difficulty, parried Takasugi's strike. The dark violet haired boy was shocked to say the least, to see his strike easily pushed away.
Then Gintoki sent them an uneasy grin, a bit maniacal to be comforting, "My turn!"
SWOOOOOSH!
A huge amount of blood was spilled, visible for all spectators to see.
-END-
Welp, that's the end for this one. Anyway guys, I've been thinking of making publishing a new story, although after it published, it will remain to be an experiment, and not being the main focus of updates, not until this story is finished. It's either about RWBY again clashing with Boku No Hero Academia, or Destiny paired with Overwatch. Anyway, as usual, would you kindly review and tell me some pointers of any mistakes? It will be greatly appreciated!
Silver III Jhin, out!
