Chapter 13

"How do you do this again?"

Sasuke gave his fellow teammate a hard glance and wondered if explaining it for a third time would finally stick in his head. Emert wasn't slow by any means, but his constant questioning of their abilities was slowly beginning to grate on him. Much like how Naruto's constant complaining would grate on him after a while. Really, the true question he should be asking was something completely different, but he wasn't going to state what the real question should be right now. Maybe later if he trusted them enough in the foreseeable future. Or if Naruto slipped up.

"It's a replication ability that splits the users' energy to make a fully functional replica of the user that has free range and free will. They are fully capable of doing the original's abilities as well. This in turn makes combat and intelligence gathering a must have for this skill." Sasuke wasn't sure if that was the true purpose behind the ability, but he was going to say it was. It wasn't like the person who created it did it for the soul purpose of being a peeping tom or anything.

"We get that," Jasper said with a bored tone. He gestured ahead to a shirtless Naruto as he fought off a bunch of other clones fighting him with a shirt on. It made it easier to figure out which one the real one was and who to cheer for in this little sparing event. "What I'm getting at is how he's doing all of it. Even then, wouldn't the memory intake give him multiple personality disorder or something? Even if they're alive for five minutes, that's five minutes they have of free thinking and free will. So that would create an irregularity in his mind, thus creating a split personality."

Sasuke scratched at his chin in thought. That could explain a few things about Naruto, but he doubted that a hundred copies of the whisker faced blond would truly amount to anything more than his usual dumb self. And even then, it wasn't like it was really damaging him, otherwise Kakashi would have told him to never use the jutsu again. But, there was the simple fact that Naruto had stupid hands and the concept of Ninjutsu was sort of lost on him. Taijutsu wasn't his strongest point either. If someone like Yang could outdo him in Taijutsu, that was saying something, considering that his female counterpart here was more or less just a brawler like him. Unless Sasuke looked at her all wrong, then in which case, he had more respect for her.

"I'm not sure creating an army of yourself is a good idea." Persia was stuck on the bad idea of said ability. "Wouldn't an army of you all think the same way? So when you wanna change up your ideas, you're talking about making sure the entire group understands what you switched your plan to. And even then; in normal circumstances, they wouldn't be able to find the original. So they'd have no real leadership to them."

"Those are fair points, but Naruto was never one for that kind of stuff," Sasuke reminded. Having seen his method of fighting now for over a week, it was clear that Naruto had two methods of fighting. Overpower you or overwhelm you. If there was a third option to his method of fighting it was that he was just unpredictable, but that was what fighting was about. The moment you became predictable you lost. That was why Sasuke came out here to train in his own skills. Ozpin allowed him to use one of the training grounds to further advance his own destructive skills without damaging the school property.

After having healed up in only two days, Sasuke was back on his feet and ready to train. But the thought of Naruto being stuck here with only a few skills gave him a moment to pause and make a life choice that he knew would change him for the better or drive him crazy. Right now it wasn't really all that bad. It made things easier for him and was a lot of fun to watch.

"Okay," Emert said as he scratched at his nose when an itch hit him for a moment. "Forget the fact of how it works. Let's focus on the more important question that I have right now." He gestured once more to the fight at hand. "How are you out there and right here at the same time?"

And that was the question of the hour. How was Sasuke standing right beside them when a shirtless version of him was out there fighting alongside his equally shirtless friend? Well when Sasuke came to his choice to help Naruto along in his combat abilities, he struck a deal with him. Naruto was to teach him how to do the Shadow Clone Jutsu, a skill he was sure he'd seen a hundred times at this point, but sadly, had never once saw the practical use in it for several reasons, and Sasuke would teach Naruto everything Kakashi had taught him.

The first reason for why this wasn't something he had ever taken an interest in was the obvious one; it took half of your chakra. In a ninja fight, having chakra was key. If you had none, you were dead. That was what made the Uchiha clan terrifying to fight. If they could see through all your moves, it didn't matter what Ninjutsu you threw at them in the end because they would copy it and throw right back at you. And if you were unlucky to fight one that used your chakra element, well said ability was getting thrown back at you at double strength for half the cost. The other big downside to this ability, as Naruto had so stupidly demonstrated, the tax it put on your mind was murderous.

After Naruto had passed out from his little moment with Cardin and the desire to eat more ramen, when morning came, Naruto was so out of it that any question anyone threw at him he gave a history answer to. Someone would ask him how his day was and he would reply with a location on the world map or the name of a general from a previous war. Naruto really did a number on his head and it took several hours to just to come out of it and act normal again. He was in luck that no one thought to prod him for answers to questions because the answers he gave would clearly have been wrong. Not that he probably didn't know the answers at this point, but twenty something clones dispersing at the same time was murder for your brain.

So Sasuke had decided to take things slow. He created two clones. One that was out there fighting him alongside the army of Naruto's, using its Sharingan eye to make it a challenge, and a second to stand and wait for the next match while talking to his friends. Team JNPR was supposed to be out here in a little bit with team RWBY to see how his training was going, but they were going to get something to eat before coming out here. So far, everything was working out good. Nothing was broken and no one else was getting hurt in this process. The only person to really suffer out of this was Naruto, but he'd sleep anything his clones did to him off. Probably the funniest thing out of this was that Naruto was furious with his clones was trying to kill his brain so he made a bunch to beat up.

Shame it wasn't working in his favor.

If Sasuke didn't overdo this training the next portion to this was chakra control for Naruto. Sasuke wasn't going to brag or anything about chakra control, but he knew his was also terrible because of his own high reserves. Naruto just happened to have enough chakra to power a city for years if they ever found a way to do such a thing. Kakashi taught them all the basics for good chakra control, but a little experimenting never really hurt either. Sasuke had an idea that if he put Naruto at something that was slick and forced him to either stick to it or walk up, it would force him to use more chakra and thus increase his control because the same thing that happened back when they first started would happen. But there was a hitch to this. Neither of them knew any ice skills and standing around waiting for winter wasn't really an option either.

This was where Persia came into play. She had ice abilities. Her arrows could do a wide range of things, but ice was what they needed. All they had to have her do was hit a tree with an ice arrow and then send Naruto up said tree. Sasuke knew she'd help because she was nice like that. She respected Sasuke as both a friend and a leader. She was his partner after all.

But truly the biggest thing they'd have to tackle was the creation of their own jutsu. Sasuke could try and teach Naruto how to shot fireballs from his mouth, but he didn't think it'd be a wise idea. Naruto would either burn himself up, burn their training ground down, or blow himself up. Fire jutsus weren't exactly the nicest of skills a ninja had at their disposal. Neither was lightning, but that was more for its complete unpredictability. Sasuke feared creating other variations of Chidori for such reasons. For the time being he wanted to stick to making new fire abilities he could use.

There was also Naruto's lack of Taijutsu as well. Sasuke could try and help him there, but he felt like trying to get Emert to do it would be better. Sasuke had already confessed to Naruto that their age group had only four real Taijutsu specialists, and he was even being nice with it. Obviously Lee took first place because no one in their fight mind would want to fight him. He heard the story and even tasted the bitterness of defeat at the hands of the spandex wearing ninja. Second was Neji, whom he knew fought like Hinata, but given his age and duration at a Genin, made him far better than Hinata. Then there was Sasuke at third. Sasuke didn't like bragging about it, but he knew that he was third because fighting someone that could move faster than his eyes could follow was a problem, and fighting someone that could shut down his chakra network was a bigger problem as well. And then there was the person in fourth place: Hinata. Yes, Sasuke was willing to say that Hinata would take fourth in their age group only because against someone like Naruto or even Sasuke when they were at the academy, if she fought with a desire to hurt them, she'd have beaten them easily.

So where did Emert come into play?

Sasuke was willing to go out of his way and say that Emert would have taken third place back at their village if he was a ninja for several reasons. The first reason was that he was fast. Even without his teleportation ability, he was naturally rather fast. He wasn't Ruby fast and he certainly wasn't Kyuubi-Naruto fast. He was just fast. Blake could probably outrun him with her own ability, but since neither of them had raced it was an unknown thing. Emert was also strong. With his normal arm he could punch a tree down, something Sasuke had seen him do once before. With his robotic arm he could punch a hole right through the tough bone armor of Grimm's head. The finale and true reason why Sasuke would even go so far as to say he was better than Sasuke if he was a ninja was that his combat talent was a step above every else's. He was quick, precise, could analyze his enemy and find their weak spot. He was an ideal fighter and his father, before he lost the ability to fight, was a martial arts instructor.

Emert was already onboard for the training idea. Naruto was onboard as well. And with both having a similar type of gloved weapon, minus claws, Naruto could learn to fight like Emert.

Sasuke smiled. "I told him that I would teach him better control over his abilities in exchange for him teaching me how to do that. We went to the same academy and we were taught by the same person."

"But why didn't you ever learn this?" Persia grimaced as the real Sasuke took a hard kick to the side of the head from his clone. It wasn't going well for the real Sasuke. Naruto wasn't fairing any better against the onslaught of his clones that mauled him into the ground. "And why would you teach him? Shouldn't he know everything you know?"

Sasuke shook his head. "The man who trained us taught him only one thing and that was how to walk up trees like how I do. He taught the both of us that." He purposely left out Sakura. Not out of disrespect but out of honor and a need to forget her. He already did enough looking back on his previous mistakes in life. He didn't want to focus more on her. "But when we had this small festival in our area, the person who trained us took me and trained me only. Naruto was left to his own devices and trained by himself for a while. I think he got a master out of it that taught him the orb move he has."

Sasuke had a theory on that move as well. He'd seen it fluctuate in size a few times when they fought previously. There were moments were it was a smaller and easier for him to use, and there were moments were it was bigger and giving him more of a chance to hit based on its size. He didn't have the full understanding of the ability, but he knew enough to get by with what he knew. If his theory was correct, Naruto should be able to create a bigger version of it. There were also odd thoughts concerning the ability as well. In school they said that their chakra would lose its stability the further away it got from the user. This was a true statement, however, how could Sasuke fire off house sized fireballs from his mouth and make them keep the same size? Under Iruka's tutelage it would have shrank as soon as it stopped getting chakra from him, yet they never did.

So did that mean that what they were taught was a moderate lie or something else entirely? Was there a mechanic to those abilities that Sasuke wasn't aware of or was he just grasping at straws. He really didn't know and it was bugging him. He really wanted to find out what was up with it.

"How is it that hard to beat yourself up?" Jasper asked.

Emert laughed at him. "He's basically fighting his shadow. I'd like to see you do it and say the same thing."

Jasper conceded to the point and resumed watching. The fights were going by rather quickly and not in their originals' favor either. Naruto was not allowed to make more clones to fight for him or use a weapon. Sasuke was fighting without his Sharingan while his clone could. The name of the game was using your own weakness to win. Naruto's tactic was always throw clones at you in large numbers. Sasuke relied heavily on his Sharingan. Neither boy was fairing too well using their weakness to win. The only upside to all of this was that later on when Sasuke was fighting his matches he was going to be completely drained.

Sasuke fell on back and grimaced as his clone took a fighting stance a safe distance away. Sasuke propped himself up and glared at it. It was tempting to use his Sharingan on it and see how that would play out, but he wasn't going to do that. It would ruin the whole thought process behind this. There was a crash and a groan that sounded beside him. Sasuke turned his head just enough to see Naruto picking himself up with a scowl on his face. His stomach had grumbled earlier and he wanted to keep fighting or his body would realize how hungry he was and decide to shut down on him.

"Having fun yet?" Naruto asked through gritted teeth. Sasuke narrowed his eye on him before turning his gaze back to the Sasuke-Clone. It was thinking the same way Sasuke was about the next move. If their roles were reversed, Sasuke knew he'd be cautious to approach the clone for fear of it striking out against him in some manner. "How have you not beaten your one clone yet, Sasuke?"

"You've yet to kill a single clone of yourself, dobe." Sasuke fired back. Naruto growled at him and sat up straight and gave Sasuke a challenging smirk. "I beat I can kick your clones' ass before you can kill my clone." Sasuke challenged. There was a way out of this. He could beat Naruto without his Sharingan when they weren't fighting seriously. Naruto couldn't win in a fight without his clones against Sasuke's clone, even if it wasn't using Sharingan.

"I'll beat the crap out of and then I'll beat the crap out of you!" Naruto jumped at the Sasuke clone. It was more than ready for him and the ensuing fight was one-sided as far as Sasuke was concerned.

Sasuke smirked at the dozen remaining clones of Naruto before a deep feeling in his gut churned. Aside from being hungry as well, there was another sinking feeling that gave him pause. Naruto was strong, something Sasuke took great care with. Normally, this many clones wouldn't mean anything to him. He could beat them down without problem. But this wasn't like all the other times because he wasn't using his Sharingan to face off against them. And his chakra reserves were low, meaning he'd be slower, weaker, and his reflexes would be shot as well. Not having the Sharingan was the biggest handicap he had at the moment.

But still, Naruto was predictable and he could counter him with ease.

The fight against Naruto's clones went about as well as he had expected in the end though. Naruto's clones rushed him and spilled over each other to take him out. From there it was a piece of cake. When the last clone died Sasuke turned and watched as Naruto finished off his clone. Confused as to how Naruto managed to pull it off, he dispelled his last clone and shuddered at the memories he received. Their talk was not all what he had hoped it would be and with the Sharingan active it had created its own thoughts on Sasuke's flaws in fighting without his Sharingan eye active. But the big thing that annoyed him was that his Sharingan wielding clone had lost to Naruto by way of a trick.

"You cheated," Sasuke accused, poking his smiling friend in the chest. "We agreed on no weapons. You used a weapon."

"I threw a pebble at it," Naruto corrected. "There was nothing against throwing dirt in its one eye!" Naruto smiled and started walking towards his gear. Sasuke took a deep breath to calm his nerves. He was going to pummel Naruto for this one. He cheated and he knew it. "You're just a sore loser," Naruto told him without looking back. He grabbed his shirt and threw it on. Sasuke wanted to burn it. It was black long sleeved shirt with an orange circle in the middle of it… right over his heart. It just screamed "target" to Sasuke. "Let's go get something to eat. If I don't eat right now I'll pass out."

Sasuke's stomach growled in response to food. He silently agreed as he gathered up his things. His team followed him, commenting on their fight. When they start probing for more information on the use of Naruto, and now Sasuke's, clone ability, they were greeted with Naruto's simple explanation. "It splits the users' energy in half. Only a select few could do it back home without running the risk of dying to it." And that was that after it. Sasuke wasn't about to go into further explanation on why the skill was forbidden, not that Naruto said it was, but they didn't need to know that the person Sasuke was trying to be like used forbidden skills. That was just stupid.

There was a loud crack and then a speeding blur darted out of the roof of the cafeteria. Sensing dangers the five brought their weapons up and ran at the cafeteria. Naruto jumped on the roof and jump up to catch the blur before they could hit the ground. Sasuke's team kicked in the door with a loud crack, turning it into splinters as they charged in with weapons drawn, ready for a fight. The cafeteria was a mess. Food was thrown everywhere. The walls were dented, cracked, and had holes punched in them. Team RWBY was down for the count with the exception of their fearless leader. Team JNPR stood victorious with Nora laughing loudly.

Jasper was the first to start laughing. Then the others followed. Sasuke looked confused to the sight before him. Jasper slapped a hand on his shoulder, rocking him back and forth for a moment. "Food fight," he said with a laugh. "How come we were invited?" he shouted at them.

Ruby dashed forward at amazing speed and caught all four members of team JNPR in a tornado. She stopped a few feet short of the back wall, creating a large dent from the air pressure of her speed, and jumped as a the manmade twister came barreling towards her with food, wooden splinters, dishes of every type, drinks, and of course the four bodies of Team JNPR. The team of four were hurled against the before everything caught in the tornados' path hit them hard. As Ruby landed, the four members of team JNPR hit the ground, caked in food and looking like a painting gone wrong.

"Never mind," Jasper corrected with a look of horror on his face. "I don't think I wanna be invited to this kind of stuff."

The other doors were thrown open as an angry Glynda Goodwitch strolled in. She waved her weapon of choice and stopped everything in its tracks. With a flick of the wrist she returned the cafeteria to its clean and perfect state. Not a single piece of food was left on the ground, walls, table, or roof. Everything that was destroyed by the furious fighting with food by the two teams was corrected and everything was back to normal. "Children," Glynda's voice was dangerous, but neither team seemed to notice, "please do not play with your food."

Naruto strolled in carrying Yang bridal style, a look of annoyance on his face. "Please tell me you didn't destroy the ramen." Yang fell out of his arms and ran up to her team to get the gist of who won and who was out for the counter at one moment after she was violently ejected out of the match. Naruto went into the back and started fishing for his favorite soup.

"Let it go," Ozpin told her.

Glynda closed her eyes to hold back the rage she was filling at the moment. She was disappointed with them. Who wouldn't be? "They're supposed to be the defenders of the world."

"And they will be. But right now they're still children," he told her, removing his hand from her shoulder and walking for the door. "So why not let them play the part? After all, it isn't a role they'll have forever." He stopped at Sasuke and said, "We need to have a talk in a little bit. Bring Naruto with you." Sasuke nodded without looking at Ozpin. He was too busy watching Naruto come out with a bowl of ramen to really care about anything else.

"So Sasuke can do the thing Naruto can do now?" Weiss fumed.

One of the great many things about Beacon was that it took its decoration, its rooms, and yes, it's bathroom, very seriously. They wanted to make people feel at home, but also remind their students that it was a school. They did have bathrooms with working showers in their dorms, but they also had them in their locker rooms for use after matches or if you had just gotten into a big team battle with food. In this case, the females of said fight were using the locker room showers to clean themselves after their food fight.

Persia, the only female on team JSPR, was happy to indulge in some girl time with her friends. With Coco getting rest for her big job in a few days, it wasn't like she had many other people she could spend time with. And obviously the top of choice was her whereabouts during the fight. Sasuke hadn't said that his training with Naruto was a secret, so it wasn't something she could feel guilty in talking about.

"Yeah, but he can't make as many and the stress it puts on him is terrible." Persia was in the process of examining her nails as the six girls showered. There was a low whisper of a moan, either in pleasure or annoyance, which came from Blake's shower. Persia rolled her eyes and figured it was the first one. "It wasn't really that impressive. They used it for fighting and testing themselves."

"Why would Sasuke agree to teach Naruto anything?" Pyrrha asked. The water stopped at her shower and she came out drying her hair. Persia kept her eyes forward and didn't bother turning to look at her. She'd seen her once before. Her chest annoyed her. "Naruto is a teachers' assistant. Why does he have to receive any combat training at all?" Persia shrugged. Sasuke hadn't given them a good reason. He simply said it was the right thing to do and that had been the end of that conversation. Pyrrha thought more on it before Yang's voice cut through the music of water hitting flesh and tiles.

"Naruto was treated poorly as a child. He had no one to look after him and he was treated like a monster. To the world at large, even if he's human, he was still treated like a Faunus. It's not that much of a stretch to assume that he might not have received the best training. But the fact that he got into Beacon, even as a teachers' assistant, proves he's got skill. I mean, look at all the things he can do before he had a weapon." And that was the scary truth of the matter. What Naruto could do with a weapon put the fear of God into a lot of people. His strength alone was inspiring. The worst part about it all was that someone like Sasuke had been paired up with him and tried to kill him for what seemed like two times.

"It's more than just that," Ruby's timid voice came through a moment later. "Sasuke said that Naruto was alone and always searching for attention. So he resorted to pranking people for attention. But for a whole town to hate him is just…"

Blake stepped out with her hair pooled over her breasts. She grabbed a towel and rubbed gently around her cat ears. She knew that Pyrrha and Nora were aware of her Faunus features. Weiss couldn't keep a secret. "Before their last fight I spoke to Naruto," she confessed. The others came out drying and started drying off. Blake stared at the towel in thought for a bit before she finished drying off and continuing. "He told me that his entire village looked at him with fear and contempt. He couldn't make any friends, and no matter how hard he fought, people wouldn't accept him. He just wanted their acceptance or to have them at least not hate him. But every time he ran into battle his victory was stolen from him by Sasuke. Sasuke never said anything. People assumed he didn't do it and that Sasuke did."

"That's terrible of them." Pyrrha's knuckles turned white at the thought of such people. "How could he endure all of that? That's just…"

"Inhuman?" Persia finished with an arched brow. "The world isn't pretty. I think it's clear that Naruto did everything he thought he could, but it wasn't enough. Sasuke hasn't talked about much anymore since their fight. Today was the first day they showed any signs of friendship that I've seen. They were around each other training and beating up each other's clones for training. Whether they remain as friends is unknown to me right now and to be fair, I don't care. Naruto is powerful, I'll give him that. But he's still an idiot."

"Well at least we can agree on that," Weiss confessed with a scowl.

"Sasuke said something odd about him, though." Pyrrha adjusted her bra and smiled. "He told us that anyone who fights him usually ends up being his ally in the end. Naruto has a gift that makes people want to join his cause and become a better person. Some people just seem to take longer than others."

Pyrrha sat down on the bench provided. "Everything that I've fought for has been taken from me. Back home I was hated and my purpose-in all the world there was no one who needed me-I've become unnecessary." Blake's words stunned Pyrrha into silence. "That was what we talked about. He said those exact words to me. I'm not trying to be cruel towards Sasuke, but really, this is more than just his fault. If humans had been nicer to him, showed him that he was worth something, then maybe he wouldn't be as hard as he is on himself."

"Well if you're kicked down enough times, that's bound to happen," Yang pointed out. She rung her hair out and finished drying it with a towel.

Blake shook her head and finished getting dressed. "That's not how he is and you know it. Sasuke told us," she looked at Pyrrha as she continued, "that Naruto is the type to never give up. Sure, he may get sad about something or angry, but he's never one to give up. If he gave up, he'd have given up on life a long time ago and he never did. He's just searching for something more to his life. Perhaps that's why Ozpin allowed him to be here. Not because he's powerful or because he's not the brightest, but because no matter what anyone says or does to him, he's never going to give up. He will always fight and be the one who goes charging in first for his friends."

Persia pushed off the wall she was leaning against and walked past the group. "I only came in here to tell you about what we did and to have girl time with you all. If this is what your idea of girl time is, then I think I'll go spend time with the boys." She gave a mock wave as she departed. Hopefully Jasper was up for something. She liked him more than Emert.

"Thank you for joining us." Ozpin sat behind his desk with his usual grin. Glynda was off to the side scowling. But there was a third person in the room that wasn't Qrow that was in the office. He wore a white military uniform with his right hand covered by a white glove. "Sasuke, Naruto, this is General James Ironwood. He's from Atlas and has been trying to find a method to get you back home. I felt it wise for the two of you to meet him since he's here for the Vytal Festival."

James walked forward, his left hand out for them to take. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Oz has talked about you a bit. He says that you're trying to be a Hunter." He shook Sasuke's hand and then turned towards Naruto. The blond looked at his hand and then to him before taking it and smiling. "I'm happy to say that I am finding a way to send you back, but unfortunately the method we're using isn't showing any promise right now. But don't fret, we are making strides in sending you back."

Naruto practically beamed happiness. "Thanks!"

"I wouldn't thank me just yet. We haven't perfected it and are a long way from making any real steps in getting you back home, but I have heard that you are taking a role as a teachers' assistant. It's hard to believe that Oz would hire someone as young as you for the job. Or allow you to join."

Sasuke arched a brow and glanced at Ozpin. "I wanted you to meet him because he's the one helping to send you back. Please understand that the method we're forced to use is crude and hard to master. We don't want to send you back to the wrong world or send you into a void of nothingness."

"When you get it working, just get me." Naruto created a clone and shoved it. "I'll just send one of my clones in, kill it, and then figure out what's on the other side."

"How does that help in finding anything about where it's going?" James asked.

"Naruto's clones have a unique ability that allows him to retain memories from his clones." Ozpin supplied. James looked back in mild shock. "It has given Naruto a great advantage in learning more about our world."

"I can imagine," James admitted. He liked the idea of his ability giving him information on anything. "If it's okay, I'd like to speak to you both in private one day if you're okay with it." Naruto nodded and looked at Ozpin for an okay. Ozpin gave him a small nod. "But I'm sorry I must retire for the day." He gave a light bow to the two boys before leaving.

Sasuke's eye twitched. He didn't like that man.

"I'm sorry for dragging you both up here but I wanted you to meet him before he left for the day. He does run an academy and is overseeing his students arriving for the tournament." Glynda adjusted her glasses while Ozpin stood up and walked around the desk. "Naruto, I know that I've asked you to use your ability to give aid to each of the teachers here at Beacon. But I'd like you to do one more thing for me."

Naruto tilted his head and chewed on his lip. "Depends on what it is."

"I trust that you'll enjoy it." Ozpin smiled at the boy.
