Chapter 12

Life had returned to the odd form of normal the following day. After Naruto and Sasuke's fight, things had become rather fractured between the multiple teams that knew of or had spent time with Naruto and Sasuke. Ozpin went out of his way to make sure that the three teams that had seen their fight kept silent on the matter, but he knew he was asking a lot of them in a school filled with students that would break under pressure or piece things together to figure out what might have happened. It was like it was a hard thing to truly figure out if one looked close enough.

Sasuke returned to the school covered in deep cuts and bruises. Naruto returned practically unharmed, say for obvious cosmetic damage to his clothes, and covered in blood. Normally anyone would just consider it them fending off a Grimm attack that was close to the school. It wasn't that hard to assume such a thing either. Grimm attacks on the school, while rare, were a possibility when they were as close as they were to Forever Forest and Emerald Forest. Even the natural training grounds that they had access to could hide a few small Grimm.

But sadly, that wasn't really all the evidence one had if they looked hard enough.

For starters. Sasuke's wounds weren't long and jagged cut marks that would even resemble claw markings from creatures such as a Beowolf or even an Ursa. His wounds were small, deep, and precise. The openings on his wounds were clean and perfect; the tell-tell sign of a blade. His weapons were soaked in blood, something that Grimm had, yes, but would disappear just as quickly as you spilt it. His bloodied weapons remained as that; soaked in blood. Naruto's clothing had long puncture wounds and slash marks akin to a blade as well. The only odd piece of a damage done to his clothing was the giant hole at his shoulder where it would seem as though something large had gone through it.

Then there was the damage done to the landscape of their battlefield. Another piece of evidence that could be written off as something to do with Grimm, for sure, but there were things that could be pointed to their fight. There were large scorch marks with human outlines to them. True, if one wanted to assume that these markings could be the sign of a fight against Grimm, they need only ask the two involved and ask about those, to which both would reply that Naruto made clones and Sasuke shot fireballs at them as they held down Grimm. Simply enough, but then you'd ask why there were no Grimm outlines. The blood on the trees would be another sign of their fighting, but at the same time, could also be pointed towards a fight with Grimm. But the real kicker to it all wasn't the burn marks, the turned up landscape, the cut down trees, or even the pungent stench of seared human flesh.

It was the complete lack of Grimm prints. No matter what type of Grimm it was, it would have to move along the ground to get them.

A Nevermore would be seen from the sky, but it would still have to land to even hope to eat them. Even through their destructive abilities that moved the land to their whims, the train of a King Taijutsu would be seen. With no prints to back up the claim of a Grimm attack, and both coming back bloodied and beaten, all fingers would point to them for answers and the rumors would start.

For Sasuke, things had gone about as good as he had hoped. Ruby, Jasper, Emert, Persia, and Weiss all took his side. Having either not known Naruto well enough to see his side of things, they took Sasuke's side in the belief that Naruto had started the fight. Ruby was willing to give Naruto the benefit of the doubt. He broke down after their fight and had cried. He was broken by their fight and the cold truth of whatever Sasuke had said to him after it all. Coco was siding with Sasuke, as well as her team. But they kept their distance and favored Naruto more, alongside Blake and Yang.

The damage wasn't fully done either. The school gave Naruto odd looks. There were whispers of his involvement and his sudden rise to teachers' assistant without even attending the school. His age proved he hadn't attended and with smarter students able to piece together what happened, it was clear that Naruto wasn't going to be making any fast friends either. But there was also his red eye that made things hard for him. The pupil was slitted, just like a fox. Naruto had awoken many nights and was left confused when he could see clear as day in a darkened room. He had opted to start covering it up, but thought better of it. It was his scar. He'd wear it proudly.

The only team to stay on both boys' side was team JNPR. Having only heard rumors and not seeing the fight really made it hard to believe that both had fought in a battle to the death against each other. Sasuke's injuries were really the only proof anyone had and Pyrrha was willing to side with both boys and say that they were simply training and had an accident. Nora was more than happy to believe this, given her own fighting style and the amount of punishment she could take as well. Ren and Jaune had their doubts.

So as lunch came around it wasn't that much of an oddity anymore to see Blake, Yang, and Velvet sitting Naruto off to the side eating while Sasuke sat with his team and the others. On occasions Pyrrha or Jaune would join Naruto, but that was usually when the others were either away or was focusing more on school work for lunch. Ruby had a nasty habit of letting things pile up, despite her desire to prove she was an excellent leader. Today just happened to be a day that everyone was caught up.

"So you're not joining the security detail?" Velvet asked between her nibbles on the soup she had got. Naruto nodded mutely as he slurped up some of the noodles from his ramen. "I can't believe that they'd want you to join. I thought you had to be a third year or fourth year to join."

"Ozpin said I could join if I wanted to." Naruto was neglecting to mention that Ozpin still wanted him as an assistant to Oobleck since Naruto didn't know anything about their world. Who better to stick him with than the man who might know everything about their world that was of complete significance? Naruto picked up the bowl and downed the broth. Blake's eyes and hungry expression were almost comical to look at as he finished off his second bowl of shrimp and fish flavored ramen. Yang found it hard not to laugh. Naruto's brow nearly knitted itself together as he thought back on the fight. "Where were they when I had my little moment with Sasuke?"

"Well," Yang started, putting her elbows on the table, "I would hardly call your moment 'little' given all the damage you did." Naruto's face fell. Blake elbowed her in the side. Yang ignored it and continued, counting off on her fingers with each thing she brought up. "They only patrol the school. The forest isn't part of the school, so they can't patrol that part. As for where they were; chances are they're around us right now. So I wouldn't be surprised if they're normal students that just get paid to do this. Besides, not all of them are supposed to be students. A lot of them are people that tried to get into Beacon through good grades or passing one of the combat schools, but failed to get in because they lacked something. So Ozpin hires them as security for the school."

"Well, regardless of your choice, I thinking joining them would be beneficial to you in the long run. Who knows, you might meet some people your age," Blake pointed out. Naruto rolled his eyes and started working on his third bowl of food. Blake's eyes lowered as her stomach growled and the desire to steal his food for the sweet taste of fish grew within her.

Naruto shrugged. Age wasn't really a standing factor for him. There were people back home that were still Genin when they were forty. So if someone was around Ruby's age in this group, then more to them. They just happened to not get the position because they either lacked something or had nowhere else to go. Sort of like how Naruto didn't have anywhere else to. But it did leave a lot of unanswered questions for him. If they were in charge of security; where were they went Jaune was shoved into a locker and propelled out of the school? Bullies were another thing, but Naruto knew that deep down they couldn't be there for every person that got bullied. It was a combat school after all. Shame Konoha didn't believe it that too much.

Naruto took another bite of his food and caught Blake's hungry gaze. He sighed and finished what he had before gently pushing it towards her. "You can have the rest," he said quietly.

Blake didn't argue and began eating.

"I've been curious about why only eat fish, Blake. At least now I know why." Blake glared with a long string of noodles in her mouth. Yang raised her hands in defeat, smiling like a goofball as she turned on Velvet. "So when do you think your first job will be?"

Velvet pushed her bowl forward, having finished it and whipped her mouth with a napkin before speaking. "We have a job in a few days," she explained, burping slightly. "We're clearing out Grimm in one of the sectors. Hopefully we won't be gone for too long. I mean, we are the team that's being put in charge of the dance for this year." Yang grinned. "We won't be taking advice from anyone other than Coco. She has a good grasp on decoration without going overboard. If someone like Fox was in charge, we might never get it done." There was a brief pause before she added, "And if you or Weiss were to get involved, we'd never get it done either."

"You're no fun and you don't know that. I make cool parties!" Velvet smiled and looked at the confused whisker faced blond for a moment. Yang turned her gaze on him as well. Naruto looked lost on the subject of choice. "There's a dance that happens towards the beginning of the second semester here. I used to hear stories from other students that came here about it. Said it was a magical time."

"Depends who's in charge," Velvet confessed. "Last year it wasn't that great, but it wasn't bad either. It was just sort of bland. The team they had in charge of it had no sense of direction with it. One person wanted to do one thing, another person wanted to do another, and before long they had what looked like a three way dance field. It wasn't bad… They stuck to their guns, but it was rather hard to figure out where everything was and which floor was set up for what, and even the music was hard to dance to because they had all three sides playing at the same time."

"Oh," Naruto sounded very unsure of the whole thing. Ninjas didn't dance. Of course, they didn't exactly have anything like that back home either. The close thing to that would be the bars that Jiraiya had taken Naruto to during their search for Tsunade.

"Have you ever been to one?" Yang asked.

Naruto remained looking thoughtful before shaking his head. "Sorry, but I can't say have. The closes thing to any dance area I've been to would be a strip club, and that was with my master." Yang and Velvet blinked at the very thought of such a thing. It was very wrong and very stupid to take a thirteen year old boy to a strip club. That was asking for problems. Blake, however, looked confused at the finer point to his statement. He had a master once. That was news that went over her partner and fellow Faunus' head. Naruto leaned back in the chair and smiled. "It's not like I hadn't ever been in one before that, though. I mean, I don't see the point in it."

"Woman gotta make money somehow," Yang confessed. Blake turned on her with a light glare. Velvet blushed at the thought of herself doing that for money. "But why would you go to one at all?"

"For research," he answered plainly.

"What kind?" Somehow, Yang doubted that his research wasn't exactly what most people would refer to it.

"I wanted to know how the female body looked and what guys like about it."

They sat stunned by his words. Blake was the first to recover. "Are you… gay?" Naruto visibly blanched at the very word. "So you're not?" Naruto crossed his arms and shook his head. "Okay..." Blake went back to eating; having said her part and letting her mind get filled with perverse thoughts on the subject.

"Then why go in for research at all?" Velvet asked curiously.

Naruto looked around for a moment. His eyes locked with Sasuke's. The former Uchiha seemed to have an ear in on their conversation and was giving him a dirty look. No one else seemed to notice it either. Naruto turned back to Velvet, a sly smile on his face. "You wanna see trick?" he asked harmlessly. Velvet nodded vigorously. He got up and left. The three girls followed with Blake trailing behind as she finished her bowl of food Naruto gave her. Once they were outside and safely away from prying eyes, Naruto smiled at them. "Sasuke would throw a fit if he saw me do this. But this is why…" He brought his hands together and in a puff of smoke, Naruto was gone and replaced with a teenage woman about Naruto's age with long blond hair pulled into two pigtails and a moderate sized chest. "This is why," she said in a rich voice.

Blake's mind overloaded. Yang smiled from ear to ear. Velvet looked slightly mortified. It was Yang that came up with the real reason it was created. "You do that to seduce people," she said happily.

Naruto returned to normal, his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face. "Actually, I did it for attention when I was little. The real version is…" Naruto stopped and looked at the three girls in front of him. He felt like he was on good terms with all three of them. Blake was nice, insightful, and was sticking by him because of her own undisclosed reasons. Yang was a lot like himself and more than willing to accept the unknown because how she was. Velvet was… shy, probably lived a sheltered life back home, and was more than likely not used to tactics like what Naruto did on a daily basis for either fighting or getting information. Not that he really ever used this ability to get information. "…far more awesome and I would be drained if I did it at its full use."

Blake glanced over her shoulder. Naruto was looking through them. The other two didn't notice it. Sasuke was behind them with a confused and annoyed look on his face. Blake shot him a harsh look that told him to leave. He left without a word. She turned her attention back to Naruto as he finished going on a spill about something she missed.

"So that's your Semblance, right?" Yang asked, sounding hopeful. In a world of oddly powered up people, having someone with the ability to generate a red aura, get up from anything short of decapitation, and change his features when angry, having someone that could transform into a woman was downright funny to her. And it had pigtails too boot! That was a plus. "That is the funniest thing I've seen in a while."

"I can think of funnier things," Naruto confessed with a sly smile still on his face. "And that's not my Semblance." Naruto lied effortlessly and smiled at them.

Yang snapped her fingers, disappointed at the prospect of a funny Semblance like that. She could dream.

The bell rang and the three females sighed unhappily. "Time for class," Blake told Yang. Velvet had already started her trip to her next class. Naruto stayed behind and smiled. "What are you smiling for?"

"Nothing," he said quickly. He started walking towards Velvet. "I'll see you soon!" He called out before he caught up to the bunny girl. Velvet smiled as they shared a quiet walk towards her next class. Naruto knew where she was going. She'd already had one class with him today and she told him earlier that she had the same class again after lunch. Naruto wasn't the sharpest knife sometimes but he most certainly wasn't dumb.

"Do you like being Doctor Oobleck's assistant?" she asked cheekily. Naruto faked a smile. Really, he didn't know what to make Oobleck. The man was too hyper and to straight forward about everything. Naruto's only real purpose in the class was to go over their history and geography, both things he would admit to being terrible at back home. Velvet gave a light tap on the shoulder. Naruto faked being hurt. "Chin up," she told him as they rounded the corner to his class. A few students had already raced inside. The strolled in. "All you have to do is keep an eye on us. That's not too hard, right?"

"It's easier than you'd think," he confessed.

It was easy because Naruto cheated. Oobleck didn't have the basic understanding of what Naruto could do. Sasuke understood everything that he could do, but that was a given, and unless Sasuke had spilled the beans on everything Naruto could do; only a few people really knew a few of his abilities. With the exception of his Oiroke no Jutsu being known to Yang, Blake and Velvet, only their teams, along with team JSPR and JNPR, really knew that he could make clones and that he did get up from everything. But they didn't know that his abilities could work on the other abilities as well, meaning that as of right now Naruto had a dozen other clones all over the school doing whatever they wanted so long as they didn't interfere with school work.

Naruto gave a toothy grin to Yang and Blake as he passed them. Weiss glared at him as he went behind Oobleck's desk and sat down in a second chair. Not a moment later the good doctor showed up and the bell rang.

"If you would all open your books to page two hundred eleven, we can begin reading up on the first construction of the first great wall of Vale." Oobleck did a head count as the students pulled out books. Some were slow to respond, suffering from the tiredness of eating too much and needing a nap. Oobleck wouldn't blame them. They were being feed high calorie diets to sustain themselves through combat and studies. But even with all the calories they ingested it didn't leave much room for anything other than sleep if you ate too much. "Once you've gotten to the page I want you all to read quietly to yourself for the next thirty minutes. You are to read from pages two hundred eleven to two hundred thirty. We will be taking a quiz on this test and I expect you to know the answers."

Naruto cracked open his book and started reading more on the geography of the land. As someone who couldn't tell you where Suna was on a map of their world, Naruto was going to do all that he could to learn how to read a map for this place. It wasn't like it was hard. They had few settlements outside the walls of the major cities and capitals. There were places beyond the wall that did have some natural barriers that would protect them from harm, but those were few and far between. Most places had little protection from Grimm attacks. It was what made the city life that much better. Only the truly brave or truly dumb stayed outside the city walls. Most people were brave. Others saw them as dumb. It was really how you looked at it.

There were other reasons that Naruto wanted to learn this stuff. The history portion, a subject he wouldn't lie about hating, was something that did interest him here. For starters, most of the history he favored was on the terrorists group White Fang. Their history alone was interesting to him. Their culture was also something that interested him. They were a group of people that were completely comprised of Faunus members. Originally they were civil rights movements group, seeking justice and fair rights alongside their human counterparts. This was done to increase relations between the two races and unify them towards a common enemy.

But human nature had to rear its ugly head and smash those hopes and dreams.

What had started out as a small group seeking equal rights and justice was soon forced into a corner and started taking matters into their own hands by their own methods. Stores that refused to serve Faunus were burned to the ground. Law enforcement groups that had wronged them were beaten. Supply trains that sent food and other resources to areas that wouldn't help Faunus were pillaged. Before long, their stand was not about seeking equal rights by talks, but rather by violence. Then the leader stepped down and their actions became worse. Protests turned dark. And suddenly overnight the White Fang had gone from being a peaceful group to a military group that struck terror into the hearts of many.

There wasn't any end to their regime in sight either. Things were getting darker as the days went by. With the Schnee Dust Company paying Faunus works half the salary of a normal worker, not allowing them to climb higher up the business food chain, it wasn't any wonder that a lot of Faunus left what they had behind to join a group that wanted to strike fear into the hearts of humans and work their way to the top by their violent methods. Sad truth to all of it was that it was working in getting them their rights, but not the ones they desired. Fear kept the masses at bay, but that would hold for so long before the gate would break and the pent up rage would flood onto them. There would be no saving them if they continued down this path.

But sadly, that wasn't what Naruto was reading at the moment. Ozpin told him that very soon he'd start taking jobs and Naruto, per Sasuke's request, was studying the map of the world. So far he was happy to be able to point out the Four Great Kingdoms, small settlements, and all the failed settlements. The Grimm was not slacking with their path of bloodshed over the world. If anything, they were to be commended for their tenacity in doing so. Naruto already got a basic grasp of them, but his time with Oobleck had taught him one thing: Not all Grimm were mindless. Naruto could only think of them as being similar to Kyuubi. The ones that were stronger were older and wiser. So they knew how to fight humans and win. They were the apex predators of this world. For a normal soldier, one Ursa could take on four of them. A raw recruit could take on three Ursa. One in training, like the first year students of Beacon, could take on seven or more Ursa. But a truly powerful Hunter, one like Oobleck, could take on hundreds.

Naruto had no illusion that his power, while great, couldn't withstand as many Grimm as most people. But if he used Kyuubi's power, then nothing would stand in his way. That much was proven. A three-tailed aura was more than enough to rip large Grimm apart, but ancient Grimm was another story. Without fighting one, Naruto had no idea on where he stood. This was why he was focused on the city Mountain Glen. It was home to such terrible creatures of Grimm, but more than that, it housed an ancient one with power so fierce it made even hundred year old Grimm look like children. Only once had people encountered it before the city became abandoned.

Could he actually kill something that powerful? Naruto hoped he could which was why he really wanted to-

His head jerked upwards and he scanned the room for the man on the third row that had been drawing rather than working. "That's a terrible drawing," Naruto mouthed off randomly. Oobleck gave him a funny look and quickly swept over each face for someone guilty of drawing. Naruto looked around the room and shook his head. That was weird. I could have sworn that I saw… Naruto paused in his thinking and stood up. "Oobleck, I'll be right back." Naruto left before getting permission and was quickly outside. He scanned the hallways and followed the path that he remembered taking, yet hadn't taken? He found himself in Glynda's class. She stopped whatever lesson she was giving to look at him as he marched through the rows before stopping at a boy with a gray mullet. "You…" Naruto said randomly, pointing at him. "Why are you drawing in her class?" Better question: Why do I know he was drawing in her class?

"Mr. Uzumaki, I believe you're to be assisting Doctor Oobleck's class, not mine." But her gaze did sweep to the boy he had pointed out. "And what drawing is he talking about?"

Naruto smiled and left before things got weird. The last thing he heard was the class laughing as she rounded on him with a lecture on paying attention. Returning to Oobleck's class, Naruto smiled nervously. "Sorry," he said quickly enough, gaining the attention of a few others in the process, "My psychic powers were taking over," as he walked back to his post. He caught sight of Sasuke looking at him funny. Oobleck did as well, but whatever questions they were going to ask were put on hold. Naruto sat and pondered on how he could have known about the teenager that was drawing. Really, how did he know? That wasn't possible. He was nowhere near that class. And how did he even know how to get there? He hadn't gone to her class yet. In fact, he had actually tried to avoid her because she had something against him it seemed.

Naruto was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he missed the bell and wasn't pulled out of his thoughts until Oobleck tapped him on his shoulder, jarring him entirely from his stupor. "Sorry! I was testing myself!" He lied as he came too. Oobleck adjusted his glasses and Naruto gave him a disarming smile. "Sorry… I was wrapped up in my thoughts."

"I can see that. Tell me, Mr. Uzumaki, what was with that outburst earlier? There was no one drawing in my class. I could report you to Ozpin for that. So tell me right now what that was all about."

Naruto licked his lips as he tried to think of a way to explain. Oobleck was hardly one for patience it seemed. Naruto shut his eyes and leaned back in the chair. He opened them and looked at the ceiling. "One of my abilities is that I can make solid copies of myself," he said slowly. Oobleck tightened his jaw, unhappy so far with his answer. "I sent a few of them around the school to explore for me because I knew I'd be bored and I was going to talk to them when they came back so that I could get the basic layout of the place. But one of them…" Naruto paused and licked his lips. That couldn't really be it, right? Summoning a clone, Naruto said, "Go outside with him and say something to him please. Play a game or something and when it disappears, come back. I'm testing something."

Oobleck zipped out the door. The clone gave its master a funny look. Naruto shrugged and hoped for the best. There really wasn't anything else but to try and recreate the circumstances of it at this point.

The clone left and disappeared for several minutes with Oobleck. Oobleck came back and Naruto was shaking his head. "So what was the purpose in that?"

"You wear contacts to hide your eye color." Naruto looked pale. Oobleck looked a little confused. Naruto held his head and fell out of the chair. "And I just dispersed all of the clones and I know where everything is. How do I know this?"

Oobleck's glasses slide down his nose and a smile formed on his face. He sprang right to Naruto and held up him up. "Do you have any idea on amazing that ability is? The ability to not only create an army of yourself, but to also gain knowledge without losing human life is simple astonishing. Gaining such a massive amount of information would no doubt stress a normal human brain, which means that yours is not a normal human brain! Do you know what this means?!"

That I can peep on girls in their locker room and not feel guilty about it because I will send a clone to stare at their ass, disperse, and I can enjoy the sweet image of it in my mind forever without getting hit. Naruto nodded vigorously. This was a power meant to be used and abused on the female side of all things. No women would be safe from him. "That I don't have read these books! I can make my clones do it!" Naruto made a bunch and sent them away to study. "How did I not know I had this ability with them? No wait I know why. The people who could use it never told me about it and it wasn't written in the manual for it." Naruto didn't care if Oobleck knew about how he learned this skill. He was already not normal.

"My dear boy, this ability could save lives and give us valuable information on our enemies! And yes! You can use it to study." He calmed down and looked thoughtful. "I must report to Ozpin immediately. Every teacher could get a copy of you to watch their class and be their assistant."

Not really sure I wanna do that, but hey, if I can help and get paid for it, I'll do it! "Sounds great!" Naruto feigned joy and walked out of the classroom as Oobleck dashed out as fast as he could.

"So what was that in class about?" Naruto turned excitedly to Sasuke and grabbed both of his arms. Normally he wouldn't act like this, but really, who else was he going to tell that would understand the total awesomeness of this skill or explain it to him a dumbed down version? Kakashi wasn't here to do it. Jiraiya wasn't here to laugh at him or tell him how stupid he was for just now figuring it out. And Iruka wasn't here to gasp over the practicality of what this whole thing meant. "Alright, Naruto! Let go!" Naruto released him and remained bouncing in place. "Seriously, what's with you?"

"I learned something cool!"

Annoyed, Sasuke rubbed the bridge of his nose with his banded one good arm. After returning to Beacon from their fight, Sasuke was bandaged up and told that he wasn't allowed to fight anymore. He was given painkillers, but those hardly did anything for him. Not like he needed them. As long as the two most powerful teenage blonds didn't grab him he'd fine until he went to sleep and rolled over on his arm that was stabbed.

"What's going on?" Ruby asked, worried that yet another fight was going to break out between them. Weiss, Yang, and Blake all showed up with Jaune and Pyrrha running up as well. Ren and Nora started heading to their dorm to get changed for dinner.

"I learned something cool!"

"Yes, Naruto, I know that." Sasuke sighed. Things were never straight with him, were they? "So what'd you learn?"

"My clones have a cool ability!" He summoned one and told Sasuke to leave with it. Ruby looked ready to follow, but Naruto's bouncing in place put her at ease. A moment later Sasuke came back shaking his head, unsure of what the point was. "I lost each round of rock paper scissors! But my clone asked you to use your Sharingan." he exclaimed happily with the exception of the last part.

"Yes, of course you would. You asked me to turn my Sharingan on." Sasuke froze. Wait. Naruto hadn't told him to do that. At least, not this Naruto. And how did he know that…? Sasuke's jaw might have hit the floor had he not had the decency to hide his own shock from his whisker faced friend. "So you can retain the memories of your destroyed clones." Naruto nodded vigorously. This was lost on the other people present. "So you basically have the ultimate study guide built into your head?" Sasuke was not gonna lie. He was rather annoyed by this. For once, Naruto outdid him with an advanced clone ability that would die in one hit, use his abilities, were free thinking, and could now retain memories from their shared lives. Yeah… he was a little pissed.

"Forgive me, but why is that a good thing?" Yang asked as she scratched her scalp.

Weiss regarded Naruto with a dark look as she stormed up to him, pocking him in the chest with one hand and listing off everything else the other. "So let me make sure I understand your abilities as we know them right now." Naruto stopped his hyperactive bouncing to pay attention. "You can generate a red aura that you can use to grab onto anything, tear it apart with either your hands or those specter hands. You heal from all fatal injuries, no matter how grave! You can create copies of yourself that are free thinking and fully independent from you! You can create a blue orb in the palm of your hand that drills through everything it touches! And your clones can now feed you their memories when they die! Am I missing anything?"

Only a few other terrible things! Sasuke wanted to scream. Thank god she was listing off his abilities.

"Yep!"

"What are you?! Some kind of monster?! That's not even human!"

"I know and it's cool!" Naruto brought his hands together and made a dozen clones. "Go read the books in my dorm and die when you're done!" And he couldn't have said that any better. Still bouncing in place, Naruto turned back to the others. "How come I never knew this before? This would have saved me so much time back home. Think of how smart I'd be if I used this back in the village?"

Sasuke licked his teeth in thought before saying, "You just sent about a dozen copies of yourself to read books in your room by themselves. If I didn't know you as well as I did, I would let you find this out on your own, but I'm going to tell you that since they are free thinking, that means that they will get bored. They are basically you because they are created from you and that means that they all have the attention of a goldfish. Also, let's not forget that rather than destroy them when you have to go to the bathroom; you've left them to try and get to the bathroom as well, while fighting an army of yourself! This isn't going to work out in your favor."

"This is totally going to work out in my favor. How bad could this backlash be on me?"

Truer words were never said by him. Naruto could take a physical beating like no other. And Sasuke was not going to lie and say that Naruto might be able to take a mental beating as well. With all the free space he had in his head, there was no way a few clones reading some books were going to fry his brain. And even if they did, it wasn't like he'd stay down for long. If anything, he'd jump right back up and do it again now that he had a way to become smarter than any other student in the school. Why was this skill forbidden again?

"This is easily the coolest thing I've ever learned in my entire life. For once, I'm going to be smarter than you, Sasuke!" Naruto pointed and then fell to the ground with swirls in his eyes. Sasuke shook his head, but not ten seconds later Naruto was on his feet with wide eyes. "I know the whole layout of this school now." His face twisted into a frown. "And I need to go beat up someone. Does the name Cardin mean anything to you guys?" A collection of nods greeted him. "He's being mean to Velvet. I'll be right back." Naruto dashed away.

Sasuke sighed. "In all the years I've known him, this might actually be the greatest thing he's every achieved," he said plainly. "And I'm not going to lie about this. I hate him for it. That's a skill I want to learn now." Sasuke stuck his good arm in his pocket and started walking after Naruto's charka trail. It wasn't like it was hard to figure out where Cardin was going to be. And with Naruto basically lighting up the whole place with his chakra for his Sharingan eye to follow, tracking him down was going to be easy.

Weiss's left eye twitched and she growled before storming off. Ruby followed. The others went after Sasuke to watch Cardin either get beat up or have something else terribly done to him.

"Are you kidding me?" Yang exclaimed.

Before them was a sight that most people would find terrifying, yet somehow it was amusing. It was the thought of having such a terrible thing done to them that it made most peoples' blood run cold.

Before all of them was Cardin. But he was not the Cardin they all knew him as. No. The Cardin before them was a woman with shoulder length hair, a heft bust, tiny frame, and long bunny ears. Just the whole concept of that image was funny for both irony and how his voice sounded as a girl. What was truly scary and horrifying about the whole thing, however, was that Naruto had his fingers right up her butt.

"One thousand years of death!" Naruto screamed as he finished his enema on the bully. The female Cardin went running after that while Naruto fell on his back, rolling with laughter.

Perhaps it was because Yang had never truly thought of the idea of sticking anything up her butt to be pleasant that she thought the sight of a man with his fingers up another man- Or in this case woman's! - ass to be pleasant. She didn't live that sheltered of a life. She knew how the porn industry worked. She had friends that experimented. That didn't mean she did. And that was a terrifying thought all on its own. Who took pleasure in sticking anything up there? And even then, who took pleasure in sticking something up someone else's butt, let alone their own fingers?

The other bullies ran before they suffered a similar fate. Sasuke held a terrified Velvet in his arms as he shook his head at the sight of his laughing friend. If anything, Velvet had another reason to like Naruto after this. Not only did he protect her, he turned Cardin into her and then tortured him in the only method that wouldn't let a mark anyone was willing to show.

"That was the best thing ever! I needed that!" Naruto rolled over onto his side and pounded the ground.

"You stuck your fingers up her… I mean his butt!" Yang exclaimed.

Blake was still laughing alongside Pyrrha. Jaune was hiding behind said redhead, fearful that the excitable blond might do the same to him. "It's a ninja move!" Naruto said between his fits of laughter. "It's a secret technique."

"What's so secret about sticking your fingers up someone's butt?" Yang fired back.

Naruto stopped laughing and actually thought on that one. Why did Kakashi say it was a secret technique? It wasn't really all that much of a secret? Did it really have something to do with their village only? Could Suna ninjas do it as well?

Thankfully Sasuke stepped in before Naruto's brain was fully fried by the gears in his head as he thought on it. "It was something our teacher taught him that he used on him once. It's sort of a technique that's passed down from teacher to student." Sasuke couldn't think of anything better to say on the subject. Kakashi did it to Naruto. Naruto did it to Gaara, but with a kunai wrapped in an explosive seal. Yeah that about summoned up how that skilled worked. Did that mean Gaara was now going to do that attack as well? God he hoped not. That'd be more painful than a kunai with an explosive tag on it. "He's not going to use it on you guys either. So don't worry about it."

"But still! Why the butt?" Yang wasn't going to let that one go.

"Well where else are you going to do it on a guy? His bellybutton?"

"Okay you made your point."

"His ear?"

"Enough!"

Sasuke shrugged, having had his weekly say for the time being. Sighing, Sasuke looked at the door that Cardin had gone running out of him. Coco was marching towards them a joyful smile on her face. "You should probably think about going and turning Cardin back to normal."

"No fucking way am I doing that. He can suffer for the night!" Naruto stood up and crossed his arms.

"You just gave him boobs to play with," Blake told him quietly. Cardinal was a guy with female boobs. Big boobs at that. So he was going to do what every guy dreamed of doing with boobs: Play with them.

"It's just a simple illusion," Sasuke replied. Velvet came out from behind him and jumped down to Coco. She was explaining what happened. "It works by forcing our energy over another person and altering their image by force of will. We're basically casting an illusion on him that disguises him as something or even someone else. What he reaches for won't be there. But it does react to the world around it. So those long ears he now has will actually blow in the wind or fall back as he runs. He just can't control it." And with as much Chakra as Naruto put on it, that's going to last a good bit if he doesn't release it. "Just think of like this. If he doesn't show up to class tomorrow, you know why."

"Yeah," Yang snapped, "both reason." She shivered.

Blake looked her over and cracked a grin. "I thought your hair being damaged was the biggest fear you had?"

"Well it is until I saw Naruto stick his fingers up Cardin's butt!" She covered her butt with her hands when she saw him look her way. "Don't you dare think about touching my butt!"

"You saying that only makes me wanna touch it," he told her plainly. Naruto thankfully turned his attention to Sasuke and said, "You think I'll get in trouble for this?"

"It's a combat school! How can you possibly get in trouble for doing that? You didn't physically harm him. Mentally scar him, yeah, but not harm him."

"Well it should give Cardin a better understanding of both the female and faunus race," Pyrrha said happily. Naruto shrugged. Jaune still looked worried. "Well, we should all head to the cafeteria to eat dinner. Ren's making pancakes~!" she sang, much to the delight of Jaune. Ren's pancakes were the best.

"I'll have ramen, thank you ve-" And Naruto hit the ground with swirls in his eyes, stopping everyone cold as they looked to the passed out blond.

Sasuke walked up to him, picked his head by his hair and screamed, "Fire!" in his ear as loud as he possibly could. Naruto didn't react. Sasuke dropped him and sighed. "He's out. His clones must have died off or something. Any of you wanna carry him to his room? I can't?" Sasuke waved his bandaged arm around. Yang and Blake volunteered. With Naruto out like a light, Sasuke walked with the others towards dinner and time with friends.

Blake shoved Naruto's door open and stood in shock to the dozen clones he had in his room. Yang sighed and looked at the sea of blue and red eyes that glanced at her and then their leader. One of them stood up and marched over to them, taking him off her hands. With a simple toss they sent their fearless leader at his bed and let him hit hard without a care in the world.

"Am I never getting used to this," Yang whispered. Blake just smiled, suddenly realizing that there really was someone here at this school that made her feel normal. How many people could make copies of themselves or acted goofy at this school? None! "Is he going to be okay?"

"The boss will be fine. Though," it looked around at a few others books that didn't have readers anymore, "if we destroyed only five of us to do that to him, what's going to happen to him when all twenty of us go out?" Yang looked visibly worried. The clones chuckled. "Oh well! Not my problem. Thanks for bringing our boss to us, Yang." He shut the door and looked at the other clones. "All in favor of staying up and reading more to torture our maker raise their hand!" All hands shot up! "Few more hours it is!" They all cheered and went back to studying.

A/N

So aside from the obvious role Naruto's play and the aftermath of their fight, there was this chapter that I wanted to get to because Naruto's clones have always had this ability and there was one scene that came to mind that never made sense to me. Naruto had a bunch of clones reading books when he was out with Jiraiya at one point and he didn't notice he got their knowledge. I know that's like a million chapters before that was even revealed to be a "secret" ability of the Shadow Clone Jutsu, but it was something that Naruto did and it never made sense to me. Plus, all the other times he created clones and sent them out sort of makes it hard for me to also believe that they wouldn't pass their information along. Battles and whatnot aside, I really wanted to do something funny with it and immediately show consequences for it as well.
