A/N: Note This. Is. Fiction. Here I can decide how each character acts or behaves.
Also, I'm probably going to take a break for a while. Not sure how long but I will return eventually.
*Story start*
The classes following Professors Port were tame by comparison. English and Math could barely compare to watching a teenager decimate a Grimm. After that, the Teams were allowed to go for lunch. The conversation was non-existence. RUBYS was sitting on the left side of the table with Blake's plate being dominated by fish or seafood, Weiss's being sliced meats and tea, Yang's having being protein-rich foods, Ruby having sweets, and Naruto had a bowl of Ramen.
JNPR had Pyrrha cheeses and grains, Nora had a stack of pancakes with syrup, Ren had a bowl of noodles and herbal tea, while their last teammate ate a bowl of Pumpkin Pete Cereal with the redheaded Huntress's face plastered of the side.
"So *munch* *munch*, how are you not a ninja?"Nora asked while chewing away at her stack of her Pancakes. Ruby and her team turned towards him also curious of the answer.
"Can you elaborate? I mean I'm not a 'ninja', just an ordinary Huntsmen with combat training. Not sure how that makes me a ninja?" the blond muttered as he drank the broth and made the cup vanish. A new one took it's place and the blond started eating the salty noodles.
"You decimated that Grimm with your bare hands in under a minute. Even professional huntsmen would need a weapon if some kind." Blake explained without looking up from her sushi.
"I mean I am a bit skilled, but nothing that can't be done with a little training. Plus there's no way I could be a ninja, 'cause a ninja can only be taught by a ninja master. There's no one I've met who claims they are." Naruto refuted their claims as the second bowl followed the first and he swapped the bowl with a full one.
"Really? Then I am a Ninja Master and I demand Pancakes!" the orange-haired girl yelled as she pointed towards him with her empty plate.
"I guess I can say I have now, so here's your plate 'Oh great master'." in a small puff of smoke a stack of fox shape pancakes with Sunflower styled syrup patterns laid out on their faces.
"OOOOH! Mine!" Nora ripped the plate from his hand and scarfed down the baked goods.
"Alright, but you use the traditional Animan name for Maelstrom. The last person to use that name was 'Naruto no Korokēshon' or The Maelstrom Collocation." the black haired teen asked as he slowly sipped from his cup of tea.
"Who's Naruto no Koro...kay shon? I don't remember ever hearing about him?" Pyrrha asked as several nodded in agreement.
"Naruto no Korokēshon was the First and only person to rule a United Remnant Kingdom. So are you related to the Shinobi Kōtei or the Ninja Emperor?" Lie Ren questioned him with the magenta streaked teen sat the steaming cup of tea in front of him.
This raised a few eyebrows from the two teams. None had heard about the United Ruler of Remnant, or his Animan name. Each of them turned towards the blond who had an embarrassed look on his face.
"Well my parents were Animan and dreamed I'd be a changing force, so I was named after him. But I'm not this descendant or anything, its just a name thing." Naruto chuckled his answer out while he rubbed the back of his head and his fox appendages twitched.
"That-*Ring*" Weiss was cut off by the bell ringing and the fox blond vanishing in a puff of smoke.
"How does he do that? Maybe the Ninja man is actually a Wizard! Or a Magician!" Nora suggested as she set the plate aside and pushed the smoke out of the way to reveal the empty spot before them.
"No, just a normal Faunus. I walked." Naruto explained from their side, causing all of them to turn and Nora look slightly disappointed at the non-magical transportation.
"See ya guys in class. I'd hurry too, I doubt Ms. Goodwitch wont mind you being late."
"Now as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, your primary opponents are the Grimm there are still the few chances in which you will come to arms against humans or Faunus. While it's unlikely but never the less we will be practicing it." the emerald eyed blonde announced while slapping her crop against her table.
"There just animals, just give them some kibble and they'll stop."
"Thank you Mr. Winchester for volunteering to participate a friendly spar. Now who would like to spar against him? Would someone like to volunteer or should I choose?" Professor Goodwitch asked as the resident racist drug himself down to the middle of the room.
"I'll go Professor, if you'll allow me to." Naruto asked as he flipped over the table and stood in front of her.
"Come on Prof, let me school this pest." turning towards the blond, Glynda looked at him before nodding.
"Alright, collect your weapons and prepare for this any point, I reserve the right to stop at any time." Glynda explained, causing both of them to nod.
Cardin whistled and his teammate tossed him a spiked ball club, having ten metal phalanges extending from the centre and a muzzle at the middle while Naruto had four massive cylindrical limb braces. Each one was about five centimetres thick, and thirty centimetres long with a metallic shine on the attachments.
"What that? Scared you're gonna break your poor bones?" the burnt orange teen asked while the blond fixed the objects to forearms and legs.
"No, it's a handicap for you. If I didn't... I'd probably get expelled for maiming a student." Naruto explained as he pulled out a black strip of cloth and tied it over his eyes.
"You filthy-" "MR. Winchester, may I remind you that as a Huntsmen-in-training you are expected to conduct yourself in a manner befitting a Huntsman, not a child. As such, you're not to use slurs or derogatory words for your fellow students. Now if you can compose yourself long enough, the spar will begin." with a crack of her crop, the professor reprimanded the student before walking outside of the marked region.
Behind them was their icons with green bars beneath them. Cardin's started glowing and slowly draining as he reinforced himself, while the blond's didn't start glowing. Meaning he hadn't activated his aura.
The blindfolded fox Faunus turned towards his 'enemy' and beckoned him towards him. Infuriated by the teen treating him like a non-threat, the Winchester took his weapon in both hands and tried to knock the Faunus's head off. Both sets of ears twitched and the blond pulled his head back, allowing the phalanges to pass harmlessly in front of him.
"Are you going to start any time soon? I think there's a fly buzzing around me." the teen taunted as he pulled his head back to avoid a second swing. Growling, the teen grabbed the handle of his club and twisted. The spikes withdrew into the body and the muzzle barrel extended.
Aiming the weapon at the blindfolded teen, the weapon fired off five rounds of Dust. Acting almost automatically, Naruto twitched his head to the left, the bullet grazed by his face. And three more to his his right.
The last round slammed into his face and launched his face back. Several students looked at the blond with concern, seeing his aura hadn't been activated and took the round without any safety.
Before anyone could say anything, the blond's head snapped back to its upright position with a smoking Dust Round caught between his teeth. Pulling the shell from between his teeth and held the bullet between his fingers.
"Looks like I caught the bug. Dodge." Flicking the bullet, the object collided with Cardin's left arm. A loud shatter was heard as the teen flew through the air and slammed into a wall. Two diamond shaped throwing knives stabbed into the armpits of his shirt, while Naruto turned towards the monitor and pulled off his blindfold.
On the display was the blond's aura completely untouched, while Cardin's was stuck in the flashing red. Snapping his finger, the braces and blind fold vanished. Flicking his wrist, the two knives flew back to his hands and the blond returned to his seat.
"Well done Naruto. Mr. Lark, please get your captain from the wall and make sure he's alright. Now who can say where Mr. Winchester went wrong?" Professor Goodwitch asked as she waved her crop and mended the small damage done during their scuffle while Sky carried his teammate back to his seat. Pyrrha raised her hand up, making the professor nod.
"He charged into attack Naruto instead of trying to come of a strategy while Naruto was slowed down by his weights." the bronze heroine explained, causing the teacher to nod.
"Correct, now in combat one crucial thing to remember to keep a level head. Like what happened to Mr. Winchester, your foes are likely to try to capitalize on your impulses or baser instincts. Cardin was a victim to his own anger and pride. Naruto used simple tactics to enrage someone, but actual foe will likely use less than honourable tactics. Fear, dread, hostages, death. While a hoard of Grimm can ravage a settlement, a person can decimate a country." The blonde explained before the bell rang, signalling the end of the class.
RUBYS, and JNPR walk out while CRDL hobbled out with its leader. Team leader Ruby turned towards Naruto who casually followed them out.
"Naruto... how'd you catch that bullet between your teeth?"the fifteen-year-old asked while her teammates turned towards him with varying degrees of visible interest on their faces.
"That is a bit of a painful story. I remember seeing a TV show where a guy in a dapper red suit managed to catch a bullet between his teeth. So after months of practice, I managed to catch Rubber Bullets in my mouth. Then in a few years after that, I managed catch bullets in my mouth." Naruto explained while he chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck. That got each of them to look at him in either amazement or befuddlement.
"You purposely subjugated yourself to dangerous and completely idiotic conditions for what?" Weiss asked the blond, who turned towards her with a weak smile. Though he probably had a good reason.
"I thought it would look cool, and I stand by my choice." or not.
"So, you spent years of your life subjugating yourself to dangerous conditions ... because you 'thought it would look cool.' Are you for serious?" Weiss asked while the other teammates turned towards him as well.
"Pretty much yeah."
"So this is what Beacon's like?" the blond asked himself as he sat on the edge of a tower with his cloaked back pressed against the wall."Not what I'd expect from you Old Man."
Out from one of the doorways walked a black vest and an olive green shirt holding a steaming cup of black coffee.
"I doubt anything could match your expectations someone like you Mr.R-" " Just Naruto U." the teen corrected him as he sadly smiled at the Headmaster.
"Alright then Naruto, tell me what you expected from this school? It hasn't changed in the past Twenty-Two years." Ozpin announced as he slowly drank from his cup.
"Yeah, but I expected something more... grand of The Wonderful Wizard Oz. An academy training people to fight her twisted puppets, I'd expect the kids to be training to know every point of the Grimm to attack, battle strategy... you know, the stuff to help them survive." Naruto muttered as he stared down at his hands, which briefly showed a half burnt red petal before he shook his head out of it.
"Well they are still children. They have four years to train and develop as Hunters and Huntresses. They have the time to mature-" Ozpin was stopped by the sound of stones cracking under pressure.
"THEY'RE NOT LIKE US OZPIN." beneath the blonds hand was a spiderweb of cracks while several stones levitated around him with electricity arcing between the chunks of stones. Breathing slowly, he released the ledge and turned towards the headmaster and allowed the materials to fall back to the ground.
"We don't know if they will have that time Ozpin...what if she targets someone close to me again? Look Oz, I'm not going to let these students end up as another statistic or another notch on K...her proverbial belt." the blond muttered before walking to the edge of the tower, and faced Ozpin.
"I hope your goals are the same old man." the spiky blond declared before he leaned back and fell from the ledge. As he vanished from Ozpin's, nature seemed to snap as a flash of lightning tore through the sky followed by a explosion of sound.
*Beep Beep Be-Beep*
"huh? Who's that?" The blond asked himself as he hung upside-down from a tree branch while his pocket yelled at him. Digging into one of his pockets, and pulled out an orange cased scroll displaying a dancing icon of a soft-serve Ice-Cream. Clicking on the icon, a line of text appeared on his device.
"This... is... SO~ boring~." Rolling his eyes, Naruto began typing a reply.
"I understand Soft-Serve, but I cant be there." His device immediately buzzed with a following text.
"Fine~ 3 but I expect you to make it worth it. ;)" chucking, Naruto shot back a second text.
"I always do. Stay sweet Ice-Cream." Sending the text, he looked at the date before pocketing his orange device. He flipped off the branch and smoothed out his cloak.
Digging in his feet, the blond launched off the ground and floated through the the air with his cloak bellowing through the sky. Flying through the air with zero-visible resistance, he started slowing down and landed in the illuminated landing pad. He hopped into the Twin engine Bullhead with five Beacon students hopping on with him.
"BH0900. Taking off from Beacon to Vale. Sealing transport, Clear for take off." The side doors of the ship shut its doors and its engines rotated to a vertical position and took off with a dull roar.
After a good few seconds, Naruto snapped his hand and had a book appear in his hands in a small cloud of smoke. Grabbing the cover of the light-brown, he opened the book with its spine aligned to the right side.
Seated behind him was a black-haired 'man' in a tux, fedora, and mustache trying to read his book over his shoulder. The 'man' was able to see the text, but quickly scrunched their face in confusion.
"I can't understand what it says Yang." the feminine sounding man whisper yelled before a blonde with her hair tucked into her blue jacket pulled them back to their seat.
Quite Rubes, we need to be stealthy." Yang whispered back before the black cloaked girl in a face mask looked over the seat and furrowed her brows.
"Do...kon...jo Ninden?"
"Was that?" Ruby asked as she sat back down and turned towards the black-themed girl seated beside her negatively cloaked girl.
"Its a bit hard to understand but it translates to 'A Story About A Completely Brave Ninja'. I'm not sure who the authors though." Blake explained as she tried to read it over his shoulder. Before she could decipher anymore, the blond closed his right to left aligned text book and made a small orange scroll before quickly typing something onto it.
"Heading of Vale, are you in the area?"
"We're stopping by one of the shops, I want parfait."
"Alright, Scoop of Heaven? Usual time?"
"You better be there. ╥﹏╥"
"OK, OK. Geez no need to resort to using that emote."
"YAIY. ^W^"
"Does... Naruto have a girlfriend?" Ruby asked her teammates while their fifth teammate poofed away his scroll and returned to his book.
"BH0900, landing at Vale. Everyone off." The pilot announced as the door opened and the blond hopped off, followed by his disguised teammates. The blond tucked his hands into pockets and walked away from the landing pad. The teen seemed to follow a random path before stopping at a street corner and took a sharp right.
"Where'd he go?" Ruby asked as they quickly rounded the corner, and saw his coattails vanish into a store with the #282 carved into the side of the wall.
"Tuskon's Bookstore, 'Has all the books under the sun.' "Blake muttered as they rounded the corner and stood outside the store With the sign and slogan emblazoned on the front.
"Really? That's a lot of books in one place." the fifteen-year-old muttered, causing her teammates to roll their eyes or laugh.
"Its a hyperbole. Pretty much everyone knows that it's essentially impossible to store every book in the world." Blake explained as they entered the store and began browsing the store.
"-so I take it you have the newest books?" the burly man behind the table asked as the fox blond clapped his hands and made a stack of black bound books with Scarlet text.
" 'NoL: The Trials of Passion.' I take it that this one will be as good as its predecessor." the burgundy suited man questioned him as he examined the top book.
"It's a bit different from the last. Instead of focusing on the passion, it relies more heavy on the side effects of Hiro's actions and the price of them." the blond explained as the store owner paged through the book and nodded.
"Alright, I'll trust you on that Junior. I'll send the usual credit to your account." The Faunus nodded before turning away and exiting the store while his team hid behind any book they could grab.
"Lets hurry up and -uh... Blake? Are you ok?" Yang asked her partner who was practically salivating as Tukson unloaded the box and stocked the boxes on the immediate display shelf.
"Blake~? Hey." Yang asked again before her partner dashed over to the man and slapped a handful of colourful lien bills.
"I guess you heard about the book huh? Well I hope you enjoy the latest issue." the hidden Faunus explained as gave her back the needed change and tucked the book into a pocket.
"Lets uh, follow Naruto. We shouldn't lose view of him." Blake muttered as she quickly exited the store.
"Where is he going? He's just been wandering." the small girl muttered to her team, before Naruto made his small scroll appear.
"Yep... I'm going the wrong way. I need to be over there." Naruto told himself before he ran down an alleyway. RWBY struggled to keep up with him and watched him disappear into a fairly simple shop with the name 'Scoop of Heaven'.
Once inside, Naruto was tackled by a golden-rod coloured blur. Hanging from his neck a pig-tailed blonde in a jacket and knee high white boots. The smaller girl was sat down and looked up at the nearly head taller blond before pointing towards the Ice Cream display.
"Alright, alright. I get it." the Faunus laughed before placing two gold lien bills on the counter. "One Parfait and one sorbet scoop.
Reaching under the counter, the black haired lady in the red and black apron placed one glass cup and one waffle cone on the counter. Naruto felt something jab his side,revealing the smaller blond pouting.
"Can I get the parfait with chocolate and vanilla with strawberries on top." *Nudge* "And rainbow sprinkles too."
The lady quickly scooped out the ice cream and the duo sat at a table with his teammates. The smaller blonde took out the spoon and started eating her parfait.
"So hows your team been?" Naruto asked while eating his sweet treat.
"..."
"Really? That spoon better not try anything. How's Mint Chip?"
"..."
"That's great. So you enjoying the Parfait?"
"... ..."
"Don't worry about that. I doubt I'll stay four years, probably until they don't need me there."
"..."
"Alright, would ya like to meet them?" Naruto asked as her as he ate the last part of the cone.
"..."
"Great, hey Ruby, Yang, Weiss. Blake! Do you guys wanna join us?" Naruto asked as he spun around and faced his shocked teammate.
"You knew we were here?" Ruby asked as the blond ushered them over while the shortest blonde slowly ate her treat.
"Yeah, I've known, you guys were following since Beacon. If you plan on following someone then either choose something that stands out less or don't follow so close behind them." Naruto critiqued them before a tiny elbow found its way into his side.
"Ok. Yang, Blake, Ruby, Weiss, meet my sister-" *AHEM* "Sorry, I mean my daughter Neo." Naruto corrected himself, causing Neo to happily smirk at them.
"D-daughter?! But she looks the same age as you?" the heiress questioned him as she blushed thanks to her imagination running rampant.
"Well Neo is younger than me." the blond added.
"A few months doesn't change much." Yang dryly announced getting an eye roll from Naruto.
"I'm not her actual father Weiss Cream. My family adopted her but I helped raised her. So my little sister always calls me daddy because of it." If the was a dry equivalent of a spit take, Naruto's teammates just did it.
"Naruto, is your sister aware of the... adult connotation of that name?" Blake slowly asked a smug look spread across the shortest girls face.
"Adult conno-what? If you're talking about the dirty meaning behind it then Neo knows and still chooses to call me that because 'It can sound dirty daddy~.' " Naruto air-quoted as the girl smirked because of their shocked faces.
"Ok... well uh we're going back to Beacon Can we talk when you get back? There's a few things I wanna ask you." their team leader asked their blond teammate.
"Sure, now you guys should head back to Beacon. Me and Neo are gonna talk for a little bit before I head back." the oldest blond explained as the Neo waved them away.
"Alright... see ya soon Naruto." Ruby muttered as RWBY left the shop.
Back in their dorm, each of the girls were wearing their sleepwear with Ruby sitting on Naruto's cot in her rose spotted PJ. Before long, the four gradually fell asleep with Ruby taking the longest before unwillingly succumbing to the oblivion of sleep.
When Ruby reopened her eyes and saw the door open with Naruto enter the room. He removed his cloak, revealing a white tank tap with several holes revealing patches of scarred tissue beneath them and dozens of lacerations on his arms revealed under the light of the waning moonlight.
"So... what do you want to talk about Ruby?" the blond calmly asked with his usual smile while his scars seemingly pulsed a dull violet across his body.
"Everything. I mean there's so much I- we don't know about you. I-if, we're going to be on a team then we should know about you." the small two-toned girl declared in a forced bravado tone, causing Naruto's smile to fall and his face had a serious expression.
"Alright, should I start where it all began?" the blond asked her, getting her to nod. Before she could speak, azure flames burnt around his fingertips and pressed his thumb against her forehead and pushed her back slightly.
The moment she started falling, all reality seemed to distort around her descent. The room and Naruto dissolved into a mist and she began to descend into a void.
Once she looked 'down', she saw herself standing in an abandoned cave with the nocturnal light shining around the foliage near the caves mouth. Any exploration was silenced by a high-pitched scream coming from her left.
Chained to a vertical pillar on a subterranean small island was a red haired, pregnant woman with her navel exposed. Her navel was consumed by a black hole seeping out corrosive scarlet energy into a masked mans hand.
The mono-eyed, tiger striped man managed to rip seemingly the entire scarlet energy out of her and the energy began to condense into a vulpine shape.
"Sayōnara Kushina-sensei." the man saluted the bound woman before he vanished with the expanding ball into a portal around his scarlet eye.
"I believe we should follow the action, ne Ruby?" a towering 1.8m blond in a snowy white cloak questioned her as he looked down at her. Beneath him was a razor thin black disk floating above the ground. His ears occasionally twitched and his tail brushed against the platform.
"Naruto? What's going on? Shouldn't we help-" Ruby tried to ask before the red head manifested a golden chain and used it to launch her out of the cave.
"Hop aboard Ruby, everything will be explained along the way." the blond announced as he helped her on the disk. The moment both feet connected with the object, a rush of energy flowed through her followed by a resonating voice.
"The day is the Tenth month on the Tenth Day, Fourteen years since the last major war and in the Village Hidden in the Leaves, the land is in turmoil. One of the villages members 'Kushina' {REDACTED} had just given birth to her first son Naruto {REDACTED}. Unfortunately, for her, an enemy of the family discovered she would be weak from childbirth and ripped a malevolent entity which resided inside her to bring about chaos on the land."
Flying out of the cave, Ruby locked eyes with a colossal multi-tailed vulpine. The entity could've easily towered over the highest point of Beacon before it locked eyes with her. The multi comma eyes locked with hers and began to amass red and blue energies to form a purple sphere.
"The multi-tailed entity, commonly referred to as the Mighty Kyubi no Yoko or the Nine Tailed Demon Fox has the ability to summon forth a sphere of unbridled destruction known as the Bijudama which can eradicate countries or boil away seas. Unless Minor-God or stronger, avoid contact." the voice explained while the energy continued to grow to the size of its head before it swallowed it and forced the creature to bloat to unnatural sizes.
"Lets move along and follow the excitement Ruby." at that, the beast vanished but not before a massive light flashed on the horizon. Were it not for the celestial body residing overhead, the light would've been considered the sun rise. Tapping the staff against the disk, the two flew through the sky and stopped several hundred metres above the glowing village.
To Ruby's left was a stone monument of four males carved from the side. To the right was the Kyubi belching out waves of blue flames from its maw and from the inflamed tips of its tails.
Against the wall, thee village vanguards fought valiantly to repel or staunch the the ever consuming, almost liquid-like, flames. The defenders launched volleys of rocks, bellows of fire and wind, torrents of water, and bolts of electricity into its face and torso. Yet that only seemed to anger it more and unleash a violent whip from its inflamed tails.
"Do you know what is the definition of insanity? It's said that it's repeating the same task and expecting different results." Beneath them, columns of steam rose from the village as the ninja desperately attempted to quell to ceaseless flames.
Despite the hopelessness of the situation, the ninja continued to attempt to stop the total annihilation of their home. Before the vulpine could demolish the burning outer wall, a large puff of smoke appeared and a large toad with a small blond figure standing on its head. The toad wore a dark red, open fronted cloak with bandages binding its torso.
The toad leapt towards the fox and tackled it. While he held the inflamed beast, the blond figure jumped off the toad with a small bundle in his hand. The amphibian struggled against the beasts hold, and took a massive slash to the left eye.
"That's that, now we're going to him." the two rapidly descended from the air and flew through the trees, before stopping at a clearing with a stone cradle with eight candles illuminating the area.
The adult man resembling Naruto, sans the whisker, placed the bundle on the cradle and unfurled the bundle to reveal a small blond child with whiskers squirmed under the cold embrace of night.
"I'm sorry Naruto, but I wouldn't do this unless I had any other choice."the man whispered as he jumped into the air and vanished past the canopy. The infant wasn't left alone for long as a golden chain wrapped around a branch and the redhead swung into the area.
seemingly unaffected by the ungodly amount of blood soaking her lower half, Kushina knelt down and held the exposed child against her chest. From the black pit began to leak out a small trail of red energy, which cocooned them.
"Gomen'nasai Musuko, I don't think *cough cough*, I'll be able to see you grow up but I'll damned if I won't let you. Listen, I know you're too young to understand me, but please know that I love you. I've always loved you. These past nine months have been the happiest months of my life. If there was any way I could stay with you then I would." the bleeding lady whispered as she attempted to sooth her child as the violent massacre occurred mere metres away from them.
"I'm going to have to instill two decades of parenting into one day so please listen." the lady pleaded, getting her child to quiet down and look at her, "Try and find people you can trust alright? A-and try and find a nice girl ok? Don't pick a girl who is easily swayed, or can't put up a good fight. Also make sure to be careful of loans and liquors, too many have lost themselves to them. And-"
Any further talking was halted by a colossal claw tearing through the foliage and her chest, just above the infant. Causing several drops of blood to fall onto his chest. Spinning her head around, she fired dozens of golden chains which bound the foxes arm and most of its torso.
"Looks like I have to wrap it up, but remember that I will always love you and never forget your family either. Here, this is a seal our family has passed from clan head to head... I hoped to give it to you on your wedding." taking the blood coating her hand and drew a counter-clockwise spiral with '神聖' on top of it, 'うずまき' to the left, '家族' on the bottom, and '封印' on the right.
After she finished painting the symbol, a feeling of death filled the area. Soon, a black cloaked figure appeared towering three metres above the mother and son.
It's face was not visible, but the sickle held in its left and a ring of dark red beads on its hidden right arm. They floated towards her and placed its withered, nearly white hand on her shoulder.
"Hai, Hai, I'll go... but can I just stay with him a little longer? I want to hold him for a bit." the entity was about to nod before its body transformed to a white cloak and a red oni mask appeared covering its face. It snapped its attention towards the fox, and vanished.
"W-what happened? Who was that?" Ruby finally spoke back up and asked the more mature looking Naruto.
"That blond man used a forbidden technique which summons the embodiment of death. Unbeknownst to her, he aims to imprison the fox which resided within the child's mother. But the cost of summoning death is the eternal torment of the summoner."
"Naruto, is that child yo-" "Oh look, stuff is happening again. See." Naruto cut her off as the snowy haired death appeared hovering in the sky, being twenty or thirty its earlier size. It's left hand extended beyond mortal limits and withdrew with a small object in its clutch while its right one sank into the fox and started to rip something from it.
The deity flew down towards the two and slammed the fox into the infants navel. The core of the fox was rapidly pulled into the child, so fast that the chains holding it in place were ripped out of its creators body.
Once the last portion of the fox vanished in the child, the hole in his mothers chest started to heavily bleed, giving her only enough time to plant a bloody kiss on the child's head before slumping over him with once last word uttered.
"Naruto..."
"Was she your mother?" the red tipped girl asked the taller faunus as their platform flew off into the air. Reality seemed to distort as they flew towards the horizon, and reappeared over the village with the flames having been quenched and much of the destroyed building had been repaired with scaffolding surrounding the rest.
"Don't worry, everything will be answered eventually, just watch." Naruto shushed her while he focused their attention on a store with a large amount of yelling seeping from it.
"GET OUT! GET OUT YOU DISGUSTING, DISGUSTING ... THING!" the shop owner screeched as an orange blur shot of the shot out of the shop.
"Well screw you ya fat cow, I'm keeping this!" the orange figure yelled as he shook his fist. The 1.07m blond child wore a tattered orange jumpsuit with a short blade sticking out of his right shoulder.
The world shifted to a misty bridge with a half metre taller Naruto with an orange jumpsuit tied around his waist and a chipped short sword shakily held in his grasp. Clear blue needles stuck out of his torso while streams of blood leaked from the dozens of cuts littering his body and a blood covered headband with a metal plate of a leaf/spiral combo.
Across from him was a 1.83m man with a bandage covering his mouth in a black tank top, pants ensemble wielded the identical cleaver sword to Naruto.
"Z-zabu...za! I ch...challenge you to a duel. Do... you accept?" the pre-teen coughed out as ripped out several of their needle and aimed the blade at the swords master.
"Ya got balls brat, but I fight to kill. Hopefully I won't maim ya to bad." the black haired man smirked under his bandages before he dashed towards Naruto with his cleaver drawn.
Bloody lines appeared on his body, with several above his hips, three spanning his torso, twelve on his arms and one on his forehead. In comparison, the young blond only managed to redirect five of the cuts and land a cut on Zabuza's face mask, serving to only expose his fanged teeth.
Spinning the blade to its broad side, the skilled blade wielder trapped the sword in his blade ring and twisted it, reducing the top portion of the weapon to shards.
"You're good kid, better than Kakashi, but compared to a professional, you still need time," Zabuza gave him a fanged smirk," Time I won't be able to get. I'll kill you with the same technique I killed my master with. Shisha ...Chigire."
"The Death By a Thousand Cut. A technique in which the user repeatedly rushes the target, and slash them." Naruto explained as his younger self tried to deflect the attacks, only for long streaks of blood to appear on his body.
"It's over ki-" Zabuza stopped as his cleaver stopped partway through Naruto's right shoulder as the hilt of Naruto's weapon pressed against chest, and out the back. Clearly piercing his heart as small amounts of tissue and blood dripped off the weapons edge.
"D-damn kid... I d-didn't expect for you to get me... Since you stabbed me them you'll take responsibility." The Demon of the Mist coughed out before he ripped the sword out of the kids shoulder and clamped his fangs down on his other shoulder.
"Since your bastard teacher killed Haku, now you inherited this sword. So first thing you need to do with it is lop my head off. You killed me so you get the reward." the bleeding man ordered while he ripped the sword out of his chest.
"Zabuza Momochi, a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Known for their mastery of the Sword and their high body count. Each member followed the rule of inheritance in which the apprentice must kill their masters."
"Come on kid, you started this so you gotta finish this. Don't worry, I'll meet Haku on the other side, now hurry up or I swear to Kami above and below I'll haunt the shit outta you." the blond slowly hefted the blade up into the air with a pained grunt, followed by a sickening thud. What followed that was all reality becoming stained an opaque red. Followed by countless flashes of steel and splatters of darker red seemingly staining Ruby's vision.
When it returned to it's natural colour, t he younger blond was coated head to toe in blood while he stood ankle deep in blood with the massive sword strapped to his back while two bodies slung over his shoulder. One was the headless Zabuza on his right while the other was a teenage girl, about Ruby's age with a fist-sized hole in her chest.
Turning towards Ruby, the older Naruto saw the girl looking nauseated by the copious amount coating the child. More blood than one person could hold in their entire body.
The young blond carried the two through a mostly empty street, and stopped on a small cliff side. Naruto sat the two bodies on the grassy cliff and dropped to the ground before scooping out small clods of the of dirt and digging two mostly rectangular holes. The older copy snapped his fingers, accelerating the digging and the burial of the two corpses.
"Haku Yuki-Momochi. Daughter of Zabuza, and the last of her blood. The first person to show me compassion, love, understanding. But love doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes. In the flames of youth and the lulls between battle,myself and her loved each other. None should bury their love at such an age." Naruto muttered as his younger self knelt between the two mounds and collapsed into tears.
"H-how long ago was this?" Ruby questioned him as tears stained her own cheeks while concern dripped from her voice. Naruto simply looked towards the horizon in a lost expression.
"A life time ago. Now you wanted to know everything about me so we press on. We Yadda Yadda past a bit and come to this..." In a ripple of the reality, the bloodstained teen on a cliff transformed into the metallic interior of a zeppelin control centre.
In front of them was a brown haired man in a black metal armour with a dark green/light green yin yang core in the centre. Behind them was a black haired lady in a green blouse and pink jacket with a slight cut under her greyish eyes. She had an aura of regalness and rage around her as she glared as the armoured man held a blood coated black ice lance.
"Is... that it? You sweaty asshole?" Naruto's younger self cursed out as a patch of blood stained the front of his jacket while he used his sword to support himself.
"Dotō Kazahana,usurper, kin-slayer, and all around bastard. Koyuki Kazahana, Princess, Actress, and rightful ruler of the land."
"You're just a kid, now move and I'll give you a mostly painless death." the tall man proposed while aiming the icy weapon at the teen. In response, Naruto hefted his weapon up, and cleaved a hole in the metal/canopy. Spewing the buoyant gas in the mans face.
"Really? Do you expect to blow~ me way or poison me? My armour is impenetrable to any attack! With it, I am a God!" Dotō laughed as he stomped towards the two.
"I may be an idiot... but I'm not stupid. This things filed with Hydrogen, which is flammable. So if I light it... ka*BOOOM*." Striking the sword against the ground, Naruto launched a spark into the air stream and igniting the air around the 'villain' as well as the interior of the zeppelin air bladder. Causing the airship to explode out its skeleton and rapidly descend.
The pressure difference caused a vacuum which sucked the armoured man out and launched Koyuki into Naruto's arms as he anchored himself down with his weapon piercing the floor.
"Screw you ya bastard. Come on Princess, we gotta run before this thing smashes down." holding the girl in his arms princess-style, he holstered his sword and ran through the metal corridors.
Snapping his fingers, Naruto warped to the interior of an icy cave. Looking out the frozen hole, the flaming skeleton of the ship soared towards them. Before it crashed into the ground, a blur shot out of the torched skeleton with a cut up blond holding Koyuki. When the teen slammed into the frozen wall, with a hiss of his heated sword.
Naruto sat the princess on the ground and shakily stood up while across from him, the wreckage was thrown away to reveal Dotō in his heavily damaged armour.
His left shoulder plate was missing with the skin being blackened to a crisp. His left leg was heavily burnt with parts of the bone visible and the entirety of his hair being torched off.
"Y-you little shit! I planned on using this of the world, but it seems that you'll be its first victim." The forcibly balded man growled out as he held out a hexagonal crystal and slammed it into the opening of an ice spire.
"What's the plan huh? Gonna blind the world with your forehead? Your plans over, Dotō. At least go out with dignity." Naruto's younger self barked back as a shard of steel was forced out of his leg and hissed against the snow covered ground.
"Shut up brat. The Kazahana clan has kept a sacred relic stowed away here for generations, a relic of immeasurable power. It can reduce cities to cinders, so imagine what it can do to your pitiful body?" the madman laughed as he rotated the crystal and forced the middle pillar to descend into the ground and forced a massive section of the wall behind him to open up.
"BEHOLD! THE KAZAHANA SUPER...weapon?" Dotō trailed off as a small glass ball with an orange flame taking up the entirety of the glass. Then, dozens of mirrors pushed their way out from the frozen walls. The glass container must have been convex as it projected beams of light into the mirrors, which reflected the light into another mirror and so on.
Everywhere where the light touched that was not reflective enough began to melt the icy surfaces. Shocking Koyuki, and enraging Dotō.
"What? This is it? A fucking glass ball? What the hell is the point of this piece of rubbish!" the battered man screamed as he tried to crush the glass beneath his gauntlet.
Only for the orb to violently repel his attack and Naruto to violently snap to attention while holding the sword vertically in front of him.
"So this is it? This feeling of the coming spring? The break after the long winter which he often told me about..." Koyuki spoke for the first time since the observers appearances.
"Koyuki, should I finish him off or do you want to? This disgusting man resorted to killing his own flesh and blood, that's the most horrible thing anyone could do." the younger teen declared as he held his weapon in a defensive position in front of him. Ruby noticed Naruto flinch slightly but decided not to say anything at the moment.
"As princess and rightful ruler of this kingdom..." Koyuki steeled herself with a soft exhale, "I order you to remove any presence of that man existing."
"Really? You're going to kill me? Even without the super-weapon, my armour makes me unkillable!" the dictator of Snow laughed as he clasped his hands together and formed a massive black ice broadsword and attempted to cleave the duo in half. It was balked by the teens massive cleaver.
Against the unrelenting pressure of the ice sword, Naruto began to reinforce his weapon with a red miasma wafting off it. The weapon began to reflect some of the emitted light, giving the weapon a kaleidoscopic rainbow glow to it.
"IT'S... OVER... DOTŌ!" Naruto screamed as the ice weapon began to crack under the glowing weapon before the ice gave way and the sword made contact with the yin-yang symbol, a blinding flash enveloped the cave.
When it died down, the cave was replaced with the interior of a throne room. Seated on the throne was Koyuki dressed in an ice blue kimono, decorated with snowflakes and golden borders on the edges.
To her right was Naruto in a black yukata with orange spirals covering the sleeves and chest area. Strapped to his back was the massive sword with the handle positioned to face his right side.
"After that, Actress Fumikaze Yuki was crowned Princess Koyuki Kazahana of the Land of Snow. Chronologically, that's the last part without getting into the adult situations. I'm going to be speeding the story so pay attention."
The throne room warped into a dark cave with a hydra-esque purple creature clashing against a figure who looked like a slightly younger Naruto in an orange and black jacket while using the massive sword to prevent the dragon heads from attacking the blonde girl with pink coloured eyes and a lavender kimono with a translucent bell holding a small red ball in it.
"That's Priestess Shion and the Demon 'Mōryō'. The priestess's lineage have contained the monster for generations, if it were to escape this cavern then no one, bar the priestess could stop him."
"BEGONE FOUL SPAWN OF MIROKU! I WILL CREATE AN EMPIRE THAT WILL LAST MILLENNIA." the coiling dragon howled as it created several black pillars from the floor and roof. One of them soared from the ground and broke through the young blonds back, causing the world to freeze for them.
"It wasn't until later that I found out that my heart had briefly stopped, but enough about me. Focus on Shion." when Ruby focused on the girl and watched as the show unfolded.
The girl seemed to break down crying, followed by a the shattering of the bell. As the object shattered, the girl was consumed by a blinding light and emerged in a vastly different form.
Her platinum hair was lengthened and floated into the air. Her forehead, neck, chest and arms were marked with various lavender lines covering her body. Her long bellowing robes were replaced with a strapless singlet along and a circular vertical ring floating above her.
"Begone." Waving her hand, Shion fired blasts of violet energy with each blast destroying each head of the dragon, before it was quickly replaced by another.
*SQUELCH*
"Fuck..." with that unpleasant sound, Naruto managed to pry himself off the spike. Fascinating Ruby as the hole sealed shut and a boiling red mist appeared around him while it gained two fox-like ears and a tail.
"SHION! We're gonna have to kill this ass together. You can hurt it, but not enough to last. I can chop him up but I can't cut him." Naruto called out to her while he parried the draconic appendage away with a glowing red sword.
"It appears so. Let's rid this foul retch from our presence and return to the temple, this form brings out emotions in which I feel unprepared to handle." the angelic priestess announced while destroying a dragon maw.
"Let's destroy that bastard." the teen smirked while he fixed his stance, and Shion focused then directed her energy into his back. The moment the energy entered his back, his body began to stress under the pressure and crack. His muscles started swelling and splitting at the proverbial seams.
Beneath the red cloak, parts of his arms began flaking apart and expose ethereal white flesh beneath his skin along with the weapon. Raising his sword into the air, the weapon stated humming with energy.
"Your reign ends now. BEGONE FOUL BEAST!" rocketing off the ground, Naruto soared towards the dragonic demon and unleashed a hurricane of slashes. Each subsuqential cut reduced the amputated appendage to dust, with the destroyed parts outnumbering the produced ones.
"I WILL NOT CEASE BY THE HANDS OF SOME BOY AND THE WHORES SPAWN! IF I WILL CEASE TO EXIST THEN I WILL DRAG YOU BOTH TO THE PITS OF YOMI." in an act of desperation, the demonic beast focused its entire energy into one maw and launched it towards the duo.
Acting quick, Naruto held his weapon firm and cleaved the attack it half. The centralized attack soared to either side of them and disintegrated the walls behind them. Mōryō, in his recklessness seemed to care not for their collective safety as his attacks caused the cavern to collapse under its own weight.
Yet that didn't prevent Naruto from advancing, further widening the spray of the attack. Slowly pressing on, parts of the light wafting off Naruto seeming to react to a dull sphere residing inside the monster. Possibly a weak spot for the beast.
"F-fuck... off!" Once in punching range, Naruto swiped his weapon up and cleaved the beasts face in half before his right hand grabbed the orb.
What followed was a flash of light, and a eruption of black petals. It cleared to reveal a single towering oak with an angelic figure floating in front of it. a long brown haired lady with a golden headband covering her forehead.
"M-mother?" *Snap*
"This part is deeply personal so that about sums everything except that she asked me to help sire the next generation of priestesses." Ignoring the blush on Ruby's face, the world warped into a mud soaked landscape with Naruto throwing a violently spinning blue wall with four violently spinning blades on it tearing into a tanned older man with solid green eyes and a mass of writhing tentacles being torn apart by the blast.
"Mastering one of my most brutal attacks to date. Able to cut on the cellular level. *Snap*" The world transformed again to be a fairly simple village with a tall wooden wall bordering it along with a mountain bearing five faces on it.
"Watching my home...*BOOM* being crushed by my cousin... God of Pain, Nagato.*Snap*" Not bothering to turn to the horrified girl beside him, the world changed again. It was a domed building with dozens of running around in it before a violet sphere collided with it and the entire building simply vanished.
"The total eradication of the main intelligence division during war.*Snap*" Changing again, it now was a barren landscape with monstrous roots stretching off in every direction. On the ground level was Naruto and a long haired teen with pale eyes in a white robes with a tree root piercing through his chest.
"The death of Neji Hyuga by the first Primordial I ever had the discomfort to meet.*Snap*" the land morphed from a tangled mess of roots into the heart of 'world tree' with a single budding flower atop its towering form. Floating near the top was a grey man in a white robe with tomoe bordering the collar. The steel grey/purple ripple eyed man looked down on the amassed army with a tertiary ripple eye located in his forehead having a red hue and the inner three rings having three tomoe in each ring.
"The appearance of Madara Uchiha, the God of the Kaleidoscope Eye." Before anything else, a black tar launched up and crept across his body. It formed into a cocoon around him.
Two bone-like protrusions broke from the top of it, causing the black shell to fall apart and reveal vastly different female in a snow white cloak. Slowly opening her lavender eyes, the ivory skinned woman focused her two lavender and one scarlet ringed forehead eye turned towards them and stared directly into Ruby's very soul before the universe collapsed in on its self and went black.
"W-who was that? Something just seemed ... horrible about her." the huntress-in-training shakily asked as she tried to digest everything she had just watched.
"Her. The demon that comes when you call its name. The monster that haunts the nightmares of me and any to see her. A relic of an era which deserves to die."
"Why is she so dangerous? Is she really that strong?" Ruby asked as the older looking teen nodded.
"She is. If you ever meet her then take everyone with you and run as far away as you can. She is not someone to trifle with." the blond grimly added before the world re-illuminated.
This time, the world was of a rocky canyon with a small stream running down the middle of it. A loud crash was heard as two towering figures appeared overhead.
One was a purple winged avatar cloaked in samurai-esque armour and a long tengu nose on its mask. Apposing it was a three mawed humanoid fox with nine towering tails swaying behind it.
The samurai fired flaming black arrows at the fox, causing them to fire three purple balls which melted the arrow while the other ones destroyed the samurai's right shoulder plate and part of the waist armour.
The tengu samurai gathered up a lightning glove on either hand and lunged at the fox. The multi-headed fox formed a massive contained maelstrom in a blue sphere and launched towards him.
As they collided with each other, the two energies desperately fought for dominance against the other. The longer the attacks sustained, the more the avatars decayed under the drain of the attack.
The drain slowly revealed that a raven haired man with a purple ringed right eye with two sets of tomoe rings. The fox had revealed a bare chested Naruto with patches of caked blood him.
"NARU~TO!"
"SASU~KE!"
"This one bets a little dark after the avatar gets stripped away." Naruto added as the two teens forced both their attacks grew unstable before it collapses under the pressure and explodes outward.
It eventually cleared to show the black haired teen with his left arm being eradicated below the elbow. Naruto had taken a more bloody outcome with his entire right arm was eradicated with electric pattern scars spanned his shoulder and connected to a massive patch of scar tissue leaking blood into the pool beneath him.
Appearing above the bleeding blond was an EKG readout that gradually slowing down. Dropping to Sixty-Five, then Fourty-Five, then Twenty. Before going flat.
"You ... survive this right? Someone comes along to save you... right?" Ruby asked as the alternate blond was stuck in a pool of his own blood.
"Technically I do, but remember that whenever someone comes back from the verge of death, then they tend to change once they come back." Naruto muttered as the EKG spiked. Peaking at a hundred and fifty, then dropping to five, and finally leveling out at sixty.
The blond shot up and held his left hand against his chest while electricity faintly arced off his arm. He turned towards his bloody compatriot before crouching down beside him.
"I almost forgot that this took place during my birthday." Naruto explained as his other self grabbed Sasuke's shirt hem and drug him out of the canyon.
"So that was last year right? You look Sixteen here but Seventeen in the real world or alternate world?" Ruby asked as the world warped again to show an empty plain with a single red-cedar and four people gathered around it.
"Does this answer it?" Naruto asked as for the first time since their appearance, he hopped off the flying platform and approached the tree. Each of the people were female with three having dark hair colours and one having a fiery red.
One had baby blue eyes with spiky blue hair slightly covering two whisker marks and a cream dress with a red waist sash. She also had two small vulpine ears poking out of her hair. Beside her was a black haired lady with coal black eyes, along with glasses and a modified qipao accompanied by biker shorts.
To their left was a younger girl wearing a black yukata with a white and red paper fan logo and a solid red spiral on her chest. She had a more muted blue eye colour while her hair was a smooth black like the one lady, but having two whisker marks like the other. along with black fox ears.
The last lady was similar but different from the three. The redhead had two fox ears and three facial whisker marks, along with a loose red yukata with golden trim border.
"Is that a ... grave?" the small red/black haired girl trailed off as she saw two carved rocks stuck under the tree. The first one looked older with a sealed mound under it.

The second rock looked fresher with an open mound. Inside it was a man identical to Ruby's guide in a gold robe with his hair resting around his chest.

"You... died? How... are you here?" The huntress shakily asked while looking at the blonds body.
"I wish. Yet as long as her soul exists, then so will I. Forever entangled in a cosmic suffering. Never able to follow my people into the afterlife. " Naruto dryly explained as he watched his other self buried without any emotional response.
"Who... is she?" Ruby slowly asked as the blond turned towards her.
"The mother of all Grimm. Her true name cannot be spoken because it will invoke her power. Yet she has a secondary name..."
"The witch Salem."
