Hello everyone. This is Gemmysaur with his third (or I guess second since the first chapter is labeled chapter 0 for some reason, what the hell me!?) chapter of Legendary. I would apologize for lackluster storytelling, grammar and what not as this is my first story and I am a lazy person.

I own neither franchise; Naruto or RWBY.


Chapter 2: The Flying Thundergod


A blonde man in a blue hoodie and pants was sitting in a cross-legged position on the ground in the middle of a grassy plane. His eyes closed, his company, the trees and his face, serene. Minato, who was meditating a few tens of meters away from the outer wall of the village contemplated on the past few months. He was no closer to getting back home than he is with confessing to a girl. Contrary to what people thought, he was so awkward when he tried to ask Kushina out that she got tired of waiting and asked him out instead. Back to his prior thoughts, he remembered how Tymun and Nyumba teamed up to teach him their language, it was extremely difficult. He knows not whether it was his own incompetence despite being called a genius for most everything related to shinobi, or that his own teachers were just bad at teaching. On second thought, it was his teachers.

Tymun is a chatterbox. He would've been a great teacher had it not been for his penchant for weird wordings that Minato does not really get. He hoped no one else would speak like that, at least, not normally, else he misunderstands them. What does 'Yang in there kid, you almost got it down' even mean? For that matter, 'I Schnee what you did there' is something he needs clearing up with as well, though others are reluctant to explain that. Nyumba on the other hand seems to be baby-ing him with very short phrases and accompanying actions that is really embarrassing, especially whenever they go around to buy supplies and people stare at them with smiles on their faces. !

It got so bad that other faunus people (who now Minato knows they are called) around the village started helping to teach him. The most promising teachers were probably the kids who just untiringly shoved items in his face while shouting its name. It was not difficult to earn their trust, not when he was literally their strongest line of defense despite his lack of hunter's license, any form of identification or education in general. He did manage to piece it together enough to understand and relate to others, though he still randomly blurts out words in his native tongue. Still, he was good enough to manage and through that became closer to the village. He was even given the job of protecting the little village in exchange for food and some clothing. ! !

He also had to thank the huntsman, Taiyang of Signal who occasionally helps out in teaching him by providing some readables, as well as sharing the company of his little bundle of joy, Yang. Something Minato appreciates very much as it reminds him of his own child who he hopes is growing up well with Kushina. Now that was a good man. He is really chatty, and reminds him of Inoichi, what with all the talks of girls. Taiyang would've been the huntsman to protect the small island, had it not been for his and his team's work making them go to a place called Vale for missions. This is something that Minato is fond of however, as whenever Taiyang and his wife (who Minato has yet to meet for some reason) meet up with their teammates to leave for a mission, it means it's up to Tymun, Nyumba and Minato to take care of their little… little… ! ! !


Legendary: The Flying Thundergod


Tymun left Nyumba in-charge of the house once again to look for his friend and the unofficial protector of the village, thinking about getting him to take an official hunter's exam so he can earn his some money as well. Not that he doesn't appreciate the man's presence, Minato's inability to understand puns is funny in its own right and he is a great friend to be around, but times are hard especially for them faunus. With his skills, he would surely be getting a good salary on the get go… hopefully. And so he walked on, wearing his typical garb which was the same one he wore when he was *ahem* found by Minato, only patched up and looking rather worse for wear. Not that they have any money for better clothing, they were already pressed for lien as it is.

He searched high and low for his stealthy friend, a shinobi he calls himself, who specializes in doing so. Minato being the type of guy who prefers to listen as opposed to talking is not helping as his faunus ears are then of little use in the search other than to keep tabs on possible grimm attack. As he was walking towards a clearing at the end of the dense foliage he was walking in at random, he felt something. Against his common sense and sense of safety, he ran towards the clearing where he felt it and what he saw made all the hairs on his body stand.

Minato was sitting there in his typical all-blue get up, cross-legged and in deep concentration. It was very normal for Tymun to see the man like this as he enters into a self-induced trance at times but this is different. He was glowing red and was bubbling up for Oum's sake. Was this his aura? His semblance maybe? He felt like he'd rather jump in the middle of a grimm-infested clearing than stand any longer in this presence. He turned around to run as fast as he could but before he could get any significant distance between them, Minato's position seemingly exploded in a red storm before subsiding. Once again, against his own instincts, he ran back.

The clearing was no longer there, it was naught but a big crater with a blonde knife-wielder in the middle, face down on the ground, unmoving. Tymun ran down and took Minato in his arms, checking for signs of life and was relieved to see him intact, skin unblemished, but clothes ripped like he'd been in a battle for his life against hundreds of black beasts. He idly wondered what in Nyumba's bottomless belly happened to the guy to spontaneously explode like that. Regardless of his thoughts, he carried Minato back to the village to have him looked, thinking about what grimm-related excuse he can give for this.


Legendary: The Flying Thundergod


Minato was in the middle of a wide clearing in front of a large cave engraved at a cliffside, looking at a cave revealed a large gate that houses his prisoner, the Kyuubi. Minato walked towards it with bated breath as he simulates the many ways this encounter could go down. Not that there are many ways this could go down but he'd prefer the part where he doesn't get forced into a battle of wills against it. The beast stared murderously at him as it uttered his name with a deep tone. "HUMAAAAAN! What the hell are you doing here?! Are you here to gloat at catching the strongest of the nine Bijuu?!"

"No Kyuubi, I came to ask if you know of a way to return." Minato paused for a moment as he took in the looks of contemplation the beast was giving him. It seems they are not the mindless monsters they were described as, but still, it pays to be cautious when dealing with it. "As you may or may not know, we are not in our own world right now. We are in a world called Remnant, and in an island on the outskirts of a place called Vale. We likely have been transported here by Madara back when we were locked in a battle."

The beast seemed to remember what happened before flying into a frenzy at the memories of Madara and the imposter. "That was not Madara! But I will rip him to shreds as well if I can get my claws on him!"

The revelation gave Minato something to reflect on. The man he faced was not Madara, but someone else who has the same penchant for genjutsu then? Truly the Uchiha are fearsome, but he knows better than to judge an entire clan for the actions of a few. Still, if there is someone as dangerous as a legendary being like Madara, then he has all the more reason to get back as fast as he can, even if he has to fight the beast again to do so. Still, first things first.

"Do you know of the identity of this fake Madara then Kyuubi?" He asked hoping that the beast has an answer.

"I have no interest in the names of petty humans like your kin does mine you little…" Minato cut him off to think then of what to do now. The Kyuubi either truly does not know who the masked man was, or that he was withholding information. Regardless, Minato discovered nothing new other than that the Bijuu has full sentience. "Maybe I can take advantage of that?"

"Would you like to work in a partnership then Kyuubi? At least until we can get back home." Minato took a gamble with these words.

"Why should I trust humans who bothers my kin then proceeds to lock us away when we strike back?" The 'former' kage took a step back with that revelation. So they were not beasts of destruction at all.

"Admittedly, I knew not of your history and only heard of your side of the story now. What can I do to gain your trust then?"

"Ha! Gain my trust? You must have left your brain on the other side you imbecile! Why should I trust you at all?"

Minato thought long and hard to answer his question. After a few minutes of only the laughter of the great beast being heard through the open field, he spoke. "To see your kin again, the other Bijuu, your other half, whatever it may have been you held of importance on the other side. You have as much to gain from this as I do."

The Kyuubi stopped laughing. "You seem different from the rest of you lot, but it may just be because you're desperate." It then contemplated on what to say next. "Very well human. The best I can give you at the moment is a chance to gain my acknowledgement. If you wish, you can fight me and see how you fare. I will give my decision then."

Minato thought on the Kyuubi's words. Would it be worth the risk? He could very well lose his life, while away from his family and all he held dear, as well as endanger the inhabitants of this new world to the destruction that is the Bijuu. But he could also gain a powerful ally that would be the difference between getting home or growing old here, as well as a potential key factor in the downfall of the masked man.

"Very well, Kyuubi. I wish to test my might against you then." He then raises his shirt with one arm as the other's fingers glowed a blue fire. The seal on his stomach appearing for all in the open field to see. With the forethought to add failsafe seals, he opened that which held down the beast.


Legendary: The Flying Thundergod


RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHH!

The Kyuubi all but flew out of the cavern and towards Minato, but he was ready. With but a flick of his wrist, he threw kunai all around the area and proceeded to teleport away from being crushed by giant clawed hands. He then continued to flash around, teleporting to kunai and only staying for a split second to appear in its peripheral vision before teleporting to another to confuse the beast. Minato then threw a kunai above the beast and willed an enhanced form of Rasengan to his hand as he teleported to the thrown kunai.

"Oodama Rasengan!"

The big ball of rotating destruction landing atop the Kyuubi's head drove it down the ground and drilled it in before exploding in a violent release of chakra. He was then almost crushed as 9 tails chased him from different directions, but he teleported away. The beast's tails when swung in a wide arc on all sides, flinging dirt and rock and tri-pronged knives away. It then bashed at the ground with enough force to raise the land around it into uneven terrain. Minato was then chased around by the tails once more but this time, the displaced rocks around him made it so that his vision of all the tails were reduced, making it easier for blindsided attacks.

Despite that though, he weaved through most of the attacks, managing to tag a tail while teleporting away from the others with practiced ease. The proud Bijuu then thrashed around from all directions, forcing Minato to retreat to one of his kunai that was blown back quite some distance earlier. He then reformed another Rasengan in hand and teleported away. The Kyuubi looked around at the scattered kunai at a distance while jumping backwards to prevent any sky-based attacks from hitting him again. Little did it know that Minato was running atop his back after teleporting to a tail and powering up the Rasengan to the supersized version yet again, but this time the size of the beast's head. He bashed the giant fox upside with his attack when it finally detected him and turned to look, hitting it square in the jaw, flinging the enormous beast backwards.


Legendary: The Flying Thundergod


Kurama, the Kyuubi was getting progressively annoyed. Not that he wasn't before the fight started, but now he was downright furious. He knew the man was fast but to know and to experience yet again, and this time in real combat, are two different things. At least this time, his opponent didn't have the giant frog dropping on him from above. Still, he fought hard. He had every advantage in this fight sans speed. The pathetic balls Minato threw at the beast was not as strong as the man thought it was. Kurama rotated his massive body to land on his feet after that knockoff of a Bijuu's bread and butter and charged a real Bijuudama at the man that was still in the middle of falling to the ground. He didn't charge it too long as that would mean the man would just move away.

He fired his attack and was surprised that the man didn't dodge at all. His superior eyesight showed that the man was holding his hands in front of his face, arms straight and palms faced towards the beast, a kunai placed in front of it. It then hit him… with all the force of a supercompressed ball of chakra.

"Well fu-"

The Bijuudama exploded at Kurama's back, flinging him once again forward, this time disorienting him. Damn that man! Damn that space-time jutsu! Damn that blasted Fuinjutsu that kept him here! And twice damn that man who redirected his attack. Kurama brought his head up from the dirt and charged another Bijuudama, but this time he thought to do something different. He wanted to call it Bijuu Barrage just to spite humans and their penchant for naming and shouting their little jutsus. He fired an attack that fit its name, carpet bombing the land with small Bijuudama, a fraction of the original's strength, but tens of times more numerous. The great Kyuubi smirked when he saw Minato was teleporting for his own damned life to evade it. One eventually got lucky and set off near the man.

The field was silent but Kurama knew better. After all, he was still here in the seal, even if he's unrestricted in movement and not out there rampaging on the puny humans. Seconds passed, he noticed. Where was the blasted blonde? 'Heh, blasted.' He thought that maybe he should fire again to not let Minato get any longer a breather, which he was annoyed at himself for not having thought earlier. He charged a Bijuu Barrage again and fired, once again carpet bombing the landscape that now no longer reflected that of an open field at the bottom of a cliff but more of a foot of an avalanche after an earthquake.

He was caught by surprise when one of the mini Bijuudama went flying back at him and hitting his face.


Legendary: The Flying Thundergod


Minato was panting hard. This was getting nowhere in his eyes. He wasn't doing as much damage to the beast as he would've liked. He even had to resort to Sage Mode but that was only delaying the inevitable as his lack of complete mastery over it meant that he'd only maintain it for a few seconds. Still, it brought a smirk to his face when he kicked one of those little Bijuudama back to the beast. Deciding not to waste any more time, he hardened his face once more and willed a nature-powered Rasengan to life, and once again supersized. Hopefully, this will be it as he can't maintain the temporary power up long enough to run there and hit the Bijuu himself.

Minato, once the Senjutsu-amped Oodama Rasengan was charged, teleported it to the beast's tail.

"Senpo: Cho Oodama Rasengan!"

He couldn't even smirk as the loss of Sage Mode drained him far too quickly for his liking, but he looked at the sight in front of him. The fox's widened eyes as it felt a powerful attack behind it suddenly appearing and exploding. Still, he knew that it wasn't enough to down the sentient monster and so he prepared his next attack. Entering Sage Mode yet again, he created a Kagebunshin with one hand, then held three kunai on each hand on both him and the clone and ran at the overgrown rabbit dog that was getting up. This next attack was an experimental jutsu he hadn't tested in live combat yet, and is also one of the extremely few attacks he can say he named since Kushina and Jiraiya-sama kept calling him out on his 'bad naming', not that he believed them.

"Rasen Senkou Cho Rinbukou Sanshiki!"

He and his clone threw the kunai in a circular pattern around the risen fox who was caught confused by this, then Minato disappeared.


Legendary: The Flying Thundergod


Kurama has just recently gotten up from the thrice damned teleporter's attack suddenly dropping on his back. It irked him that Minato had the ability to send his attacks without him with it. Still dazed, he got up and was about to fire off another Bijuudama when he noticed twelve kunai in a circular pattern with him in the middle. He then looked towards two Minato and he knew that this move was going to hurt. Minato disappeared. The attack was so sudden that Kurama didn't even have time to be shocked. The kage was ragdolling him with multiple Bijuudama knockoffs in quick succession and he couldn't even see where the man is or where he's hitting from next. He looked left despite the hurt being dropped on him, but he got hit on his right flank. He looked right and got hit from above. He looked up and got uppercut with a giant ball of chakra. He looked down and he got pelted by multiple balls he couldn't even identify how many as the beast's face was planted on the ground along with the rest of his body.

Kurama then began to flail wildly, tails swinging at every direction, limbs throwing about, mouth open firing bursts of miniature Bijuudama. 'Damn those quadrice or whatever it is after thrice, those damned balls appearing this time from every direction near damned simultaneously!' Hitting the proud Bijuu were twelve attacks of very high potency and speed, nearly at the same time from all directions, burying him in rubble and nature-enhanced giant rotating doom balls made of chakra. He was heavily disoriented from the attack. He didn't expect something that strong from a kage whose repertoire only involves speed and weak attacks. Instead of a single powerful move, it was a combo that accumulates damage. Grudgingly, he now respects the man's power, not that he'd say anything about that.

The Kyuubi then proceeded to rise yet again, taking advantage of his opponent who is now panting heavily and very much immobile. Still, he was too disoriented to do much but managed to finally get his clawed hands on the man to hopefully crush him and get out of this mindscape. He squeezed on the man, a manic grin on the Bijuu's face while doing so. Finally, he will be getting the freedom he has been deprived of for a long time. The blonde kage was screaming, attempting to muster his little nature mode and break himself out. Kurama wouldn't allow victory to escape his grasp so easily as he applied more pressure.

'This human should now be on the verge of passing', Kurama thought. Once again, he underestimated the genius of the man who imprisoned him the same day he was released. His touching the blonde was the requirements for a failsafe the man built to lock him up again, or at least it was what Kurama was hypothesizing was he was dragged back by Kushina's chains into the gate at the foot of the cliffside. Just before he was pulled fully into the cavern, he saw the figure of Kushina looking at him from the side of the gate with a melancholic smile on her face before looking at her mate's battered form. The strongest Bijuu looked towards his opponent who looked at him with a straight face. There was no emotion in his eyes, only contemplation. Minato spoke.

"Kyuubi, the result is clear had our battle continued." He stopped to catch his breath before continuing.

"I wish to train some more before I intend to face you again. The next time we fight, I'll get your cooperation in finding a way back. Whether you like it or not." The man then smiled.

"Then we can get back home to our loved ones. You and me both." This caught the fox off-guard the hardest. "Get out of here and come back when you are worth a damn human. Next time, I'll kill you and then I'll kill the masked human."

The man then looked towards his mate who was walking towards him and smiled. "Sorry Kushina. Your failsafe was used up far earlier than I expected it to be. I tried hard to avoid a battle of attrition, but all it did was drain my reserves faster. At least, I saw your face again. Don't worry, I'll be back soon, then we'll be a happy family with Naruto again."

The man then disappeared from the mindscape that now lay in ruins, aside from the cavern at the side of the cliff. Kurama then smirked. Maybe there is some good in those humans after all. He won't be accepting of the blonde man yet, no. He'll make it hard as hell for his human container. But. He'll have a good time doing so. Hearing the words his opponent muttered to his former container's image, the Kyuubi thought back to his own father and his family.


Legendary: The Flying Thundergod


Tymun was running back to the village as fast as he can, trying to withhold his emotions while doing so, lest he attracts the grimm. Hopefully, there is a hunter around that can explain what the hell just happened to his friend he is carrying over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and cure him of his explosive diarrhea or something. He ground to a halt when a figure appeared behind the trees. It was a woman with a white cloak draped over her shoulders and a hood of similar color over her head. She had black hair with red highlights and wore a black set of clothing that ends in a looked at him, then at his passenger then looked to be in thought.

"Are you kidnapping him?" She spoke. Tymun was utterly annoyed by this and so he replied. "No I'm not! I am saving him from himself after he spontaneously combusted a few minutes ago! Where did you even get the idea that I am kidnapping him!?"

Then it hit him on what it looks like to the girl. "Oh."

Thankfully, she seemed to understand him as she spoke. "Well, I'm Summer and I'm a huntress. I can help… somehow."

This earned her a deadpan from Tymun as he looked at the girl who didn't look to be the type of person to know what to do to a seemingly injured man. "I guess they should call you Bummer because you don't seem to be of help at all."

She looked very miffed at this as she replied. "Hey! Bummer sounds like a sad name, I prefer my name right now. No, that's not the point. Let me help. I can escort you or something! My teammates can help, probably. Maybe Raven! Yeah, that's right. Raven! Let's get him to Raven! Let's go!"


AN:

Hello friends. Thank you for bothering with this fic. Rejoice! Kurama makes an appearance and his presence is certainly felt. Other things are very much minor but a bit important. Yeah.

I tried incorporating comments into my work and I think it looks better that way than had I done it myself. Thank you guys for that. Anyway, regarding powerlevels. We can agree to disagree on RWBY being lightning timers and what not. Just think of it as my interpretation of the two verses and that nothing will change in that Minato still blitzes regardless of close speed levels. As for me using versus forum calculations, well yeah. At least it's better than vague wordings, wonky perspectives or overly inflated databooks (looking at you lightspeed Haku).

Anyway, Minato's crappy naming makes its triumphant return as his trump card. Since this move has not actually been performed successfully in the manga, I made it up on how I think it would go.

As for other critics, yeah I said the word female, my bad. Sorry about having too much water. Sorry for sucking at writing harder than Sasha Gray faced with a sausage fest.

OC's hopefully, become likeable, it's just that they're side characters and so barely in focus, but I hope I can flesh them out enough to at least not be mediocre. Even if they come out like so laughable its bad or so bad its laughable.

Yeah, I'm on the verge of throwing up like Jaune on a bungee cord everytime I read things like Rinnegan!Mangekyou!Mokuton!Byakugan!Byakugou!Neglected!Bigdick!Rapey!Horny!SuperPrepgod!Batman!Godlike!Harem!Ageless! Naruto. Not to say it's bad since I never really read it, but it's just sooooo far from the Naruto we know that it's pretty much an OC with a similar name. Not that I'm fairing much better but yeah. Sorry for the rant.

As for stilted paragraphs, I don't know if I remedied it in this chapter but I'm trying. Thanks for pointing out my faults of which I am sensitive to while I cry myself in a corner, but yeah. Big thanks for pointing out ways to make it better. Regarding inconsistent power levels, I tend to go by highest consistent showings that don't contradict too much other showings. It's not like these verses are Marvel Universe level of inconsistent where a guy can tango with a dude who holds the power of several pantheons worth of gods but not be able to hit street levelers.

Regarding Hiraishin being incorrectly labeled in the anime, I dunno since I don't watch it except for AMV fights on youtube but the manga makes the distinction on the SFX that appears when Shunshin and Hiraishin are used. Other people either make the mistake due to ignorance or having never seen it. Not like people can see it well enough when he's supposedly so fast that he gets the one and only flee-on-sight order in the manga.

On another note, I tried changing the story description, hopefully it's better. Anyway, FFnet is still making it really hard to post stories. Like really?

Comments and constructive criticisms please.

Thank you.
