Chapter 3: What the hell!

STORY START

"W-what h-how are you alive? Shen said you died along with Kushina." Glynda said shocked at this revelation. Her usually calm demeanor replaced by one of shock.

"I have been on my own since mom died eight years ago as for Shen I haven't seen him since dad died so what are you talking about?" Naruto said raising an eyebrow at Glynda's statement earning him an expression of shock from both Glynda and Ozpin.

"What do you mean? After hearing of Kushina's plight we sent Shen to you and your mother to help in escaping Schnee agents. He told us you both perished in a fire that claimed your mother's home." Ozpin said trying to reign in his shock. Did Shen lie to them and if so for what purpose.

"My mother's home burned a few days after she died I was lucky not to have been inside when it burned and so I went to my father's estate instead where I met Blake." Naruto said as he explained what had happened to him after his mother's death up to the time he met Blake.

"I see well then Miss Belladonna the hall is over there please mingle with the other first years as we have some business to discuss with young Naruto here." Ozpin said to Blake as he and Glynda needed to explain things to Naruto as well as get is event of things that happened to him.

"It's ok Blake I'll meet up with you later." Naruto said reassuring Blake when he saw her worry for him slightly. After the short time spent in each other's company they had grown quite attatched to each other.

"Ok but you better meet up later" Blake said with a slight glare promising pain should he not keep his word.

"Yeah don't worry about it I'll be fine I think" Naruto said as he followed Glynda and Ozpin to a more secluded area.

Following Glynda and Ozpin through a hallway tey eventually stopped and entered a room most likely the staff room seeing all the paraphernalia a teacher might have and use.

"So what now?" Naruto asked Ozpin and Glynda

"Well for one I would like to apologize to you personally had I known you were alive I would have taken you in I am sure Glynda feels even worse than I do at the moment" Ozpin said bowing his head making Naruto look at Glynda at his words. As he did he saw that Glynda was barely holding back her tears looking at him making him flinch slightly at the sight making Naruto want to go up to her and comfort her the best way he could. He never liked seeing women cry even more if he was close to them but he had to hold back his instinct as he was not yet sure he could trust them again despite the evidence showing that they were deceived into thinking he was dead.

"So you guys really didn't know I was alive?" Naruto asked making sure they truly were deceived.

"Yes we mourned for your passing along with that of you mother however only a few people were aware of what happened me, Glynda, Qrow, Shen, James, the heads of Schnee, and you. The Schnee knew of your mother's death but didn't bother with you anymore not seeing you as a threat. All of us sent Shen to find you but he told us you had died as well but now we see it was a lie. All we can do now is hope to mend bridges and go from there I suppose." Ozpin said explaining how things were to Naruto who seemed to accept it for the most part.

"I guess we can mend bridges but where is Shen if you said he went to find me and mom he should have found me at the very least since I was nearby when the house burned." Naruto said making Glynda slightly happier at his words before she frowned.

"Well it seems we will have to question Shen later on but that aside. It's good to see you again Naruto" Glynda said as she brought Naruto into a hug making her cry on his shoulder at the thought of having missed him growing up all those years when she could have been with him.

"It's ok Aunty you didn't know it's not your fault." Naruto said as he comforted his aunt who didn't seem to stop crying into his shoulder.

"No it's not Naruto I haven't seen you in over eight years when I should have been there in fact if I hadn't accepted that mission I would have been able to save your mother." Glynda said still hugging Naruto close.

"Come on it's not your fault there was no way you would have known that was going to happen and besides I turned out quite well in the end." Naruto said calming his aunt slightly.

"I guess so what now I guess you want to learn if you came here right?" Glynda said as she wiped her eyes of tears looking at Naruto.

"I kinda just came here since I followed Blake and I had nothing to do." Naruto said sheepishly scratching the back of his head at the reason of his coming to Beacon.

"Hmm I guess we could give you a test to see if you really need to study here if not we could take you on as an assistant teacher" Ozpin said taking a sip of coffee from a mug he brought out while Naruto and Glynda were hugging each other.

"I guess I could do that though don't expect me to teach them much since I only know how to fight." Naruto explained once he separated from Glynda.

"Hmm is that so then I guess we could have you teach alongside Glynda for dust classes as well as the training class." Ozpin said as he took another sip of coffee.

"Sure I can handle that." Naruto said as he turned to face Ozpin.

"Very well but for now I suggest joining the group that came here for tonight it will help you bond with some of them at least." Ozpin said ignoring the glance Glynda sent him.

"Fine but don't expect me to play nice with those bigoted fools who think they are far superior then faunus." Naruto said as he left the room to look for the function hall where the students would gather.

"Well that was surprising. Glynda send a message to Shen tell him to come here but don't tell him anything yet. Inform James of what has happened I feel we may need his help with what is to come." Ozpin said as he left the room as well to give his welcoming speech to the fresh batch of students who will be taking the entrance exam.

This left Glynda to take the messages to James and Shen. Oh when he got here he will pay for lying about Naruto to her.

Some distance away in the island of Patch a blond haired man felt a shiver run up his spine.

'What the hell was that it felt like I just waked on my grave' Shen thought to himself though he just ignored it.

(Night)

After Ozpin's welcoming message the students began to unpack their sleeping items. All that was provided by the school was the futons they will be sleeping in everything else was their own addition. This was to train the students how to deal with limited resources as well as how to always be prepared after all not everything went your way just because you were a hunter.

Naruto found a corner where no one else chose as well as no one else bothered to be so far from the group maybe except Blake whom he saw was closer to him than the rest.

"Hey Blake how do you like things here so far?" Naruto asked as he approached Blake who was reading a book again.

"Not much kinda boring though." Blake replied not even bothering to look up from her book.

"I think it will hype up by tomorrow though with the testing and all." Naruto said as he took a seat beside Blake who didn't seem to mind at all.

"I doubt it" Blake said monotonously making Naruto sweat drop a bit her answer.

"Hello I believe you guys know each other?" a blond haired girl interrupted Naruto and Blake from conversing further.

"Aren't you the girl who blew up this morning?" Blake asked making Naruto raise an eyebrow at the comment.

"Yeah my name is Ruby you can call me Crater F- no never mind just call me Ruby." The girl said introducing herself.

"Ok" Blake said going back to reading her book.

"Hey what are your names?" the blond haired girl asked enthusiastically looking at Naruto and Blake.

"Naruto"

"Blake"

The two answered monotonously starting to get annoyed by the conversation.

"My name is Yang. Nice bow. Hey are those fox ears?" Yang said as she complimented Blake before noticing Naruto's fox ears on top of his head.

"Yes no do you need anything else?" Naruto said with a twitching eyebrow hey he may have reconnected with his parents friends but that didn't mean he had to tolerate humans being to near him for too long.

Seeing his anxiousness to get rid of the crowding Blake placed one of her hands on top of his discretely calming Naruto down somewhat.

"Nice night isn't it" Ruby said awkwardly.

"Yes it is a nice night like this book which I will get back to reading once you leave." Blake said rather coldly not liking the crowding either.

"She's a lost cause how about you foxy? Want to hang out with us?" Yang said as she looked to Naruto who sent her a mild glare that he was not amused at all.

"I'll take that as a no." Yang said rubbing the back of her head looking sheepish.

"Hey what's the book about?" Ruby asked Blake who looked slightly surprised at her question.

"A man with two souls in his body fighting for control over it." Blake answered.

"That's nice. Yang used to read to me every night before bed. Stories of heroes and monsters it's one of the reasons I want to be a Huntress!" Ruby said rather proudly making Blake chuckle a bit.

"Why's that hoping for a happy ending?" Blake said looking intently at Ruby.

"Well, I'm hoping everyone all will as a girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books someone who fought for what was right!" Ruby proclaimed loudly.

"Rather ambitious don't you think?" Blake said making Naruto nod in agreement.

By this point Yang brought ruby into a hug and the two were making a racket wrestling each other distracting Blake from continuing her reading as well as irritating Naruto who was not used to the behaviors of other people due to his seclusion.

"Hey what is going on in here? Don't you know people are trying to sleep." Awhite haired girl said as she stomped over to the group eliciting a sight of irritation from Naruto and Blake.

Seeing that they could not get back the peace and quiet they had earlier Blake and Naruto stood up and blew the candle with them out blacking out the room completely before moving to their futons.

The next morning Naruto woke up quite uncomfortably he had gotten used to sleeping on his parent's soft bed that he had forgotten how to adapt himself to other sleeping places.

Redressing in his usual attire Naruto began his usual exercises before moving on towards the dining hall where he saw Blake already seated eating a sandwich while reading another book. Just how many did she have?

"Good morning Blake" Naruto said as he sat across from her eating a stack of pancakes.

"Good morning Naruto" Blake greeted back as she continued to read.

"Are you ready for the test today?' Naruto asked even though he knew she was most likely one of the best if not the best at combat amongst the current batch.

"Yeah how was your conversation yesterday after I left it seems you calmed down a bit afterwards." Blake said putting away her book to look at Naruto.

"It went well it seems someone covered up the fact I was alive and now I am trying to reconcile with my parents friends and my aunt." Naruto said as he took a bite of his pancakes.

"That's good well I hope we get teamed together at the very least." Blake said as she finished her sandwich.

"Not a chance it seems I am overqualified for this place so I am being bumped up to assistant instructor instead." Naruto answered making Blake look somewhat sad.

"Hey don't worry I'll still see you around. Oh look at the time I got to get to my test see you later Blake." Naruto said as he waved a goodbye to Blake who stared at his retreating back.

'Good luck Naruto' Blake thought as she went to make sure her weapon was in prime condition for her test.
