The technology of the Kingdoms was amazing; it allowed for observation across vast distances. One could look up almost any piece of information they wanted to know, and the Inter-Kingdom Network of Information had so much delicious information to consume.
There are currently eight different, common, subspecies of Grimm; they seem to be attracted to, and feed off of, negative emotions such as fear, anger, hatred, and sadness. Most intriguing is that, upon death, their bodies seemed to evaporate. While interesting, this fact had been making the creatures very difficult to study, along with their inability to remain alive in captivity.
Amber eyes, with vertical slits surveyed the information closely; he had a plan for studying these mysterious creatures. If he could learn how to control these beasts, he could turn them to his own purposes. This was the reason why, in his current hideout, he had cages filled with civilians; humans and faunus that he had tortured; tortured for the purpose of generating those negative emotions that kept his captive Grimm alive. If he could unlock the secrets of their bodies, he could create a new breed of Grimm; a new breed that is smarter, faster, and more powerful than any the world had seen before.
Orochimaru let out a sinister laugh as he reviewed the results of his most recent experiments. He had yet to create a successful human-grimm hybrid, but he was getting close, and he was a very patient man. After all, he had been waiting almost five years to get his revenge on Konoha, and take the next step in his endeavor to take over the world.

Six people set foot on the ground, the airship that had delivered them lifting off to return to Beacon. The four girls scanned their surroundings to make sure they wouldn't be ambushed by a pack of Grimm. Once assured of their safety, the group headed towards the village that had placed the call for help.
The mountain village was a quiet one, set into the side of a cliff to help provide as much protection as possible. It was a dust mining town, run by the Schnee Dust Company; most of the inhabitants were faunus, a fact that upset Blake. There were some human workers there, ones that needed a job, or just wanted a life simpler than what the big Kingdom cities could provide. In this town there was no discrimination, the humans and faunus living here all worked together for the benefit of the community. Children played together regardless of any extra ears, or horns, or tails. To Team RWBY, it was a pleasant sight to behold. It was an example of the peace that they hoped could one day envelope the world.
Sadly though, that peace was in jeopardy; several Grimm nests had sprouted up in unusual places. To make matters worse, there were rumors of a strange, pale-skinned man who was kidnapping villagers. The people who disappeared were never seen again. And the Grimm that showed up, were unlike anything even the Headmasters had seen before. Team RWBY had been sent out to investigate and report on their findings.
The small group walked into the village, drawing attention to themselves and their colorful outfits. Doctor Oobleck and Kakashi Hatake had been spending most of their time, during the flight, chatting and playing shogi; both men enjoyed the opportunity to test themselves against each other. They spoke mostly of the histories of their counties. Oobleck seemed very interested in the mythologies of the Sage of Six Paths, and the Tailed Beasts. Kakashi was also intrigued by the history and culture and traditions surrounding Huntsmen, Huntresses, and their weapons; he had read the report Tenten had written after her year studying at Signal with Yang.
Doctor Oobleck led the way to the village Inn, and obtained the keys to the two rooms their group would be staying in. Kakashi and Oobleck would be sharing a room together, and, as usual, the girls would be sharing a room.
As they entered their room, Team RWBY noticed that it was much smaller than their dorm room back at Beacon; there were only two beds in this room. Yang walked over to the bed on the right side of the room and dropped her travel pack at the foot of the bed, Blake walked over and placed hers next to her partner's. Ruby and Weiss copied the action at the bed on the left side of the room. Kakashi and Oobleck wanted to get some preliminary investigation done soon, so they didn't have much time to get settled in.
All four girls checked their weapons, the way they were trained to do; inspecting the firing action, load and reload mechanisms, and ammunition; they didn't want to be caught in bad spot because of poor maintenance practices.
***Break***
The group had been searching for hours; so far they had dismantled three of the ten Grimm nests they had been informed of by the village leader. The nests were fairly small, between two and three dozen Grimm each, with nothing bigger than a large beowolf or small ursa. Team RWBY made quick work of the Grimm with Kakashi and Oobleck doing more observation than actual fighting. Kakashi had stepped in once or twice to cover a blind spot in the girls' formation, correcting the error before stepping back out of the fights.
After three nests, the girls were growing tired, but they were still satisfied with their progress so far. At their current rate, their two week long mission would be completed early, giving them a few extra days off once they returned to Beacon.
With each batch killed, Oobleck and Kakashi would observe and note the Grimm compositions; it was unusual to find different species of Grimm working together, but here they were, ursa, beowolves, borbatusks, and even creeps working together; they even seemed to be forming fighting strategies. Normally the Grimm would just all rush in together and swing away, trying to kill the huntsmen, but here, the ursa would charge forward drawing attention, while the beowolves would circle for a flanking maneuver; the borbatusks and creeps were holding back, looking for prime opportunities to strike their distracted targets. Fortunately, for Weiss, a rolling borbatusk was no match for Kakashi's Rasengan.
With their most recent victory, the girls were afforded the chance to take a short break, snacking on ration bars and drinking bottles of water. It was still early afternoon, and Oobleck wanted to root out at least one more nest before they headed back to the village for the night. To help expedite this endeavor, Kakashi had created several shadow clones and sent them off to the areas they had marked on their map, to scout for the remaining Grimm.
The ground trembled slightly as Kakashi's visible eye widened, the memories from his clone filling his mind. "Girls, we've got company coming," he said, turning to face the trees to the North. Birds flew up into the air, evacuating their homes as the trees were knocked over; out from the tree line charged a goliath, a large, elephant Grimm, almost twenty feet fall with long curved tusks.
"How do we fight something like that?" Weiss asked, they had never dealt with a Grimm of that size before.
Ruby looked between her teammates, "Bumblebee, trip it up!" she called out, watching as Blake tossed Gambol Shroud to Yang, the two of them spreading the ribbon as they dashed forward. While they were working to wrap up the giant Grimm's legs, Ruby fired a succession of rounds from Crescent Rose at the beast's face, keeping its focus on her. Looking over to her partner, the two girls nodded; Ruby jumped back while Weiss stabbed the ground, flooding it with frost dust, creating a large patch of ice; Blake and Yang had finished loosely wrapping Blake's ribbon around the Goliath's legs, both girls pulling it tight, just as the beast reached the ice field.
Without the use of its legs, the large Grimm tripped, sliding on the ice as it slammed through several trees before it came to a stop. Temporarily stunned, the Goliath was unable to react as both Yang and Kakashi came dashing from the sides, one hand alight with golden fire, the other crackling with blue electricity. Both limbs impacted the beast's head at the same time, one piercing the creature's head, while the other impacted its neck, snapping the Grimm's spine instantly. It was a little overkill, but with something this big and dangerous, they wanted to be sure that it was dead.
"Good job girls, Kakashi," Doctor Oobleck said, taking a sip from his coffee. "I think it's high time we return to the village and call it a night," he finished, turning to walk off in the direction of the town serving as their base of operations.
Kakashi just smiled at the girls and he stuffed his hands in his pockets and followed the green haired Doctor, Team RWBY quickly following suit.
The trek to the village went by quickly and without incident, though Kakashi did notice that they were being watched from somewhere, and the gaze of their onlooker felt sinister, it felt… familiar.
***Break***
He had been watching the group since they had arrived in the village. He had observed as they dismantled the Grimm nests he had been experimenting on. His experiments had been focused around controlling the mindless beasts, and despite their failure to kill the interlopers, they had shown improved fighting tactics. He was certain that had it not been for the interference of Kakashi Hatake, at least one of the girls would have been injured, or possibly dead. He would have to step up his experiments; it was time to bring out stage two of his plans.
The hooded figure looked at the Scroll in his hands, reviewing the combat data he'd collected from the data chips implanted into the Grimm that had fought the huntresses. They had been designed to control the Grimm, and so far they had been a success. With his data collected, her turned, walking back into his laboratory, his work was too important to wait. 'That blonde girl, she seems… familiar,' he thought as the door closed behind him.
***Break***
The next morning was much like the previous, filled with hunting down Grimm nests, and exterminating the beasts there. It was simple at first, just small Grimm, but when they reached the fourth nest of the day, they noticed something different. In the middle of the nest was a type of Grimm they hadn't seen before. It was a humanoid Grimm, male if gender was a thing for the beasts; it was smaller than the beowolves surrounding it, and the bone-like armor covered the torso, legs and forearms of the creature, with spikes protruding out over the hands. What was perhaps the most shocking about the Grimm were the rabbit-like ears sticking out of its head. It seemed to communicate to the other Grimm without making a sound, they moved almost as if they were protecting it.
"Hmmmm, I've never seen a Grimm like that before," Doctor Oobleck said, his hand on his chin in contemplation.
"I don't have a good feeling about this," Kakashi said, taking a ready stance, as opposed to his usual relaxed pose. With a flick of his wrist, a kunai flew from his hand, aimed straight at the new Grimm's head. Without warning, a beowolf beside it swung its arm, deflecting the object harmlessly away. Acting on his gut instinct, Kakashi raised his headband, revealing his sharingan eye to take a closer look at the new creature before them. What he saw shocked him, "It… it has a chakra signature," he stated, none of the other Grimm had had chakra signatures before. He could see the chakra tendrils latched onto the Grimm surrounding the human… no, faunus Grimm. If he was right, those tendrils allowed shared thought and sight between the beasts, and the one in the center.
Yang looked over at the Copy Shinobi, "Chakra? How?" she asked.
"I don't know, but I have an idea on who's behind this," he replied, details could be explained later; right now they had a fight on their hands. Oobleck silently agreed as he switched his coffee thermos into his weapon.
***Break***
"Is the weapon ready?" a sultry, feminine voice asked.
"It is undergoing field testing as we speak," replied a snake-like voice.
"Perfect," she replied, her amber eyes glowing like candle flames in the dark room.
***Break***
"Nothing's working!" Blake cried out in frustration; all of their attacks had failed to kill even the beowolves. The normally mindless Grimm were actually dodging and blocking attacks; just when Ruby was about to cleave one of them in half, another would reach up and block her scythe with its claw. They had been fighting these things for thirty minutes so far and not one of the Grimm had died yet, Team RWBY was getting tired. Only Yang was still fighting, the rest were all backed off, trying to catch their breath.
Only Yang had managed to land any sort of attack out of the four girls, but she, unlike normal, wasn't going into the fight swinging away; she was letting them come to her, and countering their attacks. The problem was, they seemed to be learning. Where a quick block-punch combo would have knocked one down five minutes ago, now they would spin out of the way; it was getting frustrating. As she blocked two beowolves at once, a third she hadn't seen came up from behind her, its claw poised to take her head from her shoulders.
The beast was stopped in its tracks as a blue lightning covered hand jutted from its chest. With the sudden loss of one of their own, the two fighting Yang stumbled momentarily, giving the blonde enough time to smash their heads together. Kakashi looked up at the humanoid Grimm in the center of the nest, it had yet to move, his sharingan eye tracking the chakra tendrils to each beowolf in the pack. 'Hmmm, severing the chakra tendrils sends a feedback to the rest of them,' he thought as he noticed the other Grimm appeared to be in pain at the deaths of their 'brothers.'
Five beowolves remained, and then there was that other Grimm controlling them. There was no way that the wolves would allow them near the humanoid, unless…
"Distract them," Kakashi whispered to the girls, before backing away. The girls nodded to each other, if Kakashi wanted a distraction, he was going to get one.
Ruby spun her scythe around, planting the blade firmly into the ground, while Weiss spun the cylinder on her rapier; together they started flinging projectiles at the remaining Grimm, the beowolves dodging to avoid the fatal missiles heading their way. With the bombardment underway, Yang and Blake charged forward, trusting completely in their teammates' accuracy.
Yang taking point, charged straight at the faunus Grimm, rearing her arm back to punch it square in the face. Before she made contact, a beowolf tackled her away, its claw raking against her gauntlet. Right behind Yang was Blake, using her shadow semblance to avoid the same attack that her partner had baited out. Getting within striking distance of her target, she swung her Gambol Shroud, intending to decapitate it. Before she made contact, it raised its arm up, the bone protruding from its arm parrying her blade.
As Yang and the beowolf landed on the ground, Ruby's bullet ripped through its head, taking a sizable chunk out of it. The resulting feedback caused the faunus Grimm to stagger momentarily in its struggle against Blake. After it had recovered, it brought its other arm up, swinging towards the black haired girl only to slice through her shadow as she retreated.
Back up on her feet, Yang again charged the leader of the Grimm, ducking the swipe of another beowolf as Blake swung her sword to remove the attacking arm. With the shift in weight, the monster was unable to dodge Yang's punch, the blow powered by her shotgun blast to its chest, creating a large hole as it flew away. Now only two beowolves remained along with the faunus Grimm controlling them.
Finally it moved; enraged, it charged at Yang, the remained beowolves in flanking positions at its side. With its control narrowed to only two, the faunus Grimm was able to move, and its control over its remaining charges was greater. Yang and Blake had to retreat quickly as the flurry of coordinated attacks overwhelmed them. While Blake used her shadow to propel herself backwards, Yang received a harsh blow from one of the beowolves, as its claw raked across her chest. It wasn't a deep cut, but it was enough to send the blonde to the ground injured.
"Yang!" Blake cried out, firing her Gambol Shroud in its pistol form, trying to discourage the Grimm from attacking her partner, only to have to dodge backwards again as the wolves advanced on her while their leader knelt down over the fallen girl.
With its arm reared back to strike, ready to impale the blonde through the heart, it paused, as if savoring the sweet victory. That momentary pause proved to be its undoing as the prone form of Yang suddenly exploded in fiery energies. Gold, blue and red energy swirled around her body as she reclaimed her feet, the faunus Grimm taking a few steps back. The beowolves halted their attack on Blake as they turned to face the revitalized form of Yang. Looking up at the leader, her eyes were blood red, a vertical slit for pupils, the claw marks on her chest healing in front of the monster's eyes.
As one, the beowolves attacked, leaping at the blonde from behind, only to be blasted backwards by another surge of rage filled power; her eyes never left those of the faunus Grimm before her.
That surge of power had done something unexpected, it had severed the chakra tendrils connecting them to their leader; seeing the confusion on the wolves' faces, Ruby and Weiss quickly dispatched them with a single shot each.
***Break***
Kakashi hadn't wanted to leave the fight, he knew that the girls would be able to survive… at least he hoped that they would. He had pulled Oobleck off a little ways; he needed to prepare something in order to figure out just what they were fighting against. Oobleck, being a teacher, always kept writing supplies on him, so he produced several pieces of paper at the shinobi's request.
He had to work quickly, drawing the seals he needed onto the paper with his chakra infused ink; if he got even one part of the seals wrong… he didn't want to think of what could happen. Luckily for him, his sharingan guided his hand over the paper, the seal forming almost on its own. If what he suspected was true, he had to ensure that that creature didn't disappear so that its body could be studied by both Beacon scientists, and Konoha's medical forces.
Just as he finished the last of the seals, he heard Blake cry out, followed by the explosion of chakra he knew all too well. Yang had taken a hit, and her semblance, mixed with the Kyubi's chakra, was surging forth; she was entering her berserker state; he had to act quickly or the girl would destroy the faunus Grimm and everything in the area.
***Break***
With its concentration no longer divided, the faunus Grimm was putting up a challenging fight, even for a berserker Yang. But she had a huge advantage; her chakra would far outlast that of the Grimm. With the Kyubi supplying her with his chakra, she could fight continuously for days on end.
In her berserker state, Yang could see the chakra field around the faunus Grimm, it glowed a sickly purple, and the glow was fading slowly. As they fought, she noticed that the chakra… tasted familiar; not one she had ever encountered, but the Kyubi remembered it well. "Orochimaru," she growled out through her sharpened teeth. She would deal with the snake soon enough, but first she had to take care of this whelp that stood in her way.
The rest of her team could only watch as Yang fought alone, moving at a speed that only Ruby could match with her semblance. The two combatants seemed evenly matched, but how long that would stay true for was uncertain. Blake thought she heard Yang say something as she glanced towards the mountainside.
Seeing no way to keep the Grimm still long enough to punch, Yang did the only thing she could think of. She saw the large bone protruding from her opponent's arm aimed at her stomach, and she didn't move out of the way as it pierced her body. With the creature's arm less mobile, she grabbed it with one hand, driving her fist into the monster's shoulder, rending the limb from the body. After she discarded the amputated arm, her wound healed rapidly.
Ruby and Blake almost had heart attacks when they saw the bone sticking out of Yang's back, not knowing that it was a part of her plan, or that it wouldn't kill her. They sighed when they saw the hole close up after she'd removed the claw-thing from her abdomen.
Just then, Kakashi reappeared behind the faunus Grimm, his hand alight with blue lightning once again as it punched through the creature's chest. Removing his hand, he quickly attached the series of seals he'd made onto the Grimm's body, preventing it from dissipating. Finally, he knelt down, unrolling a storage scroll, placing the amputated arm and body onto the paper, applying chakra and making them disappear in a small cloud of smoke.
Looking up from his work, he gazed into Yang's eyes; they were focused on the cliff face, she knew where Orochimaru was.
"Yang, not now, we have to report what we've found to Ozpin and Tsunade," he said quickly in a hushed whisper. "Orochimaru can wait a little longer," he gulped when her red eyes turned to him, the anger in them sending chills down his spine before they softened and returned to normal.
With the Kyubi's chakra released, the blonde collapsed, falling onto Kakashi's shoulder. Her team appeared at their side instantly, worried for the girl. "She'll be fine, she just needs to rest for a while," he said, handing the storage scroll off to Oobleck while he carried the blonde girl back to the village.
***Break***
Back at their hotel room, Blake sat at Yang's bedside, watching the blonde rest, 'When she wakes up, I am going to give her a piece of my mind for making me… us, I mean us, worry like that,' she thought. Ruby and Weiss stood at the doorway; they were worried too, but knew that Blake needed her time alone.
When Yang had woken up, it was nighttime; she felt an odd weight on her chest; not uncomfortable, but odd. Looking down her body, she saw a mound of black, with a very familiar black bow resting on top. Blake had fallen asleep, sitting in the bedside chair. Smiling softly, she reached over, pulling the sleeping girl onto the bed with her, wrapping her arms around her raven haired partner.
***Break***
While the girls were resting, Kakashi and Oobleck were in their room; they were talking about the mission so far. "So, if it is this 'Orochimaru' you speak of, what should be our next move?" the Doctor asked.
"Orochimaru is a very powerful, very hateful man," Kakashi began with a sigh. "If he was watching our battle today, then he is no doubt planning for the next encounter," he finished contemplating their next move. Only Yang had been able to fight that faunus Grimm thing, the others weren't helpless, but they would need to get stronger; unfortunately they didn't have the time. Both men wrote out a message, one by Kakashi for Konoha, and the other by Oobleck for Beacon, detailing their mission so far and the complications they had come across. The messages also informed of the storage scroll in his possession, and requesting Shikamaru head to Beacon as soon as possible to help strategize the next stage of the mission.
With the messages completed, the two men clicked send on their Scrolls; Kakashi's would have to travel back to Beacon, where the Mass Communications Tower would boost the signal of the message and forward it out to Konoha.
***Break***
The next morning saw Tsunade sitting at her desk looking at her data screen, one of the many implementations of Kingdom technology that had been brought over to the elemental nations. Konoha had opened trade agreements with the other major hidden villages, the other Kages jumping at the chance to add the new technology into their arsenals.
The face on her data screen was none other than Professor Ozpin of Beacon Academy, with his assistant, Glynda Goodwitch behind him. The powerful blondes had regarded each other hesitantly at first, but quickly became friendly acquaintances; yet another thing for Jiraiya to worry about, another beautiful blonde in his life that could cause him serious bodily harm because she too hated perverts, yay. To her left, and a step behind her, was Shikamaru, Joinin select and expert tactician for Konoha; behind and to the right of her stood Jiraiya, the Toad Sage. The two leaders were discussing the findings of the joint mission they had going underway involving team RWBY, Doctor Oobleck, and Kakashi Hatake. Of particular note for this video conference was the appearance of the new type of Grimm they had encountered.
"What does this information mean to you, Lady Tsunade?" Ozpin asked, his hands folded in front of his mouth.
"It seems, provided Kakashi's assumption is correct, that this problem is bigger than we originally anticipated," Tsunade began. "If Orochimaru has moved his operations to the area surrounding Vale, then we need to know what he is up to," the blonde Hokage finished, word of Orochimaru surfacing again had not put her at ease.
"Will our current forces, deployed to the location, be enough to handle this situation?" Glynda asked, the concern for her students evident in her voice.
"Given what Kakashi said in his report, I doubt it," Jiraiya spoke up; no one knew Orochimaru's capabilities better than he did. "I volunteer to go and join them, but I advise sending additional forces from Beacon as well," the Toad Sage said, he could also investigate the body and send the report back to Ozpin and Tsunade. Both leaders nodded their approval of the idea.
"Well then, we shall have the second team ready for when you arrive," Ozpin said, taking a sip of his coffee before the call ended.
"Well then, you have all your stuff packed kid?" Jiraiya said, turning to Shikamaru.
"All ready to go, Jiraiya-sama," came the response, Shikamaru patting his storage scroll containing a weeks' worth of supplies and clothes.
"Good," the Toad Sage said with a smile, placing his hand on the younger shinobi's shoulder. Jiraiya focused his chakra, searching for the seal he had left outside of Beacon; a little trick he had picked up from his favorite student, one Minato Namikaze. With his target locked on, he surged his chakra, and the two were gone in a flash of light as they were whisked away to the far off city.
***Break***
Team JNPR were getting ready, they had received a priority call on their Scrolls telling them that they had an urgent meeting and to get to the Headmaster's office as quickly as possible. The call had interrupted their class, and they were excused once they showed Professor Port the notice they had received.
While they walked down the hallway to the elevator that would take them up to Ozpin's office, Nora was her normal, bubbly self, Ren his normal quiet self; honestly, who would ever assume that those two could be friends, let alone 'together' even if Nora kept denying that they were 'together, together.' Pyrrha was occupied with her thoughts about their sudden mission, wondering what it could be, and what the feeling of dread could be. Jaune was currently chatting away with Might Gai, their transfer instructor.
The… bizarre shinobi had taken a special liking to the blonde guy, as if he saw something familiar in him. Their time training with the green spandex wearing man had certainly been interesting as well as effective. In the short time they had spent training with him, all of their stamina's had improved greatly. Nora had taken to the training regimen with gusto, easily tackling the fitness portion while the rest, even Pyrrha had struggled at some point. But Gai had taken Jaune under his wing, so to speak, focusing on the boy's weak areas. Pyrrha did have to draw a hard line, however, when Gai had tried to get Jaune to wear one of his green spandex outfits. The cries of the "Flames of Youth" were bad enough, but there was no way she would allow anyone of their team to wear one of those horrendous things.
The elevator finally dinged as it reached the top floor, and the doors opened to Professor Ozpin's office. Team JNPR were greeted by the sight of a black haired teenaged boy, his hair tied up to look like a pineapple. He wore a green flak vest, a black shirt with a mesh undershirt, black pants and sandals. He was currently looking at a pile of what looked like bright red clothes and long silver hair that Professor Goodwitch was glaring at, her riding crop in her shaking hand, raised to strike down upon the man.
"Mr. Jiraiya, if you would kindly keep your hands and… comments to yourself, we could get this meeting underway, Team JNPR has arrived," said Professor Ozpin, amused at the antics of the 'Legendary Toad Sage.'
"Tch. Troublesome pervert," the shinobi said, his hands held together; Ren noticed that his shadow was connected to Professor Goodwitch's; it seemed to somehow be preventing her from further assaulting the man on the floor.
"They're here? AHA!" Jiraiya said as he popped up from his former prone position, much to the annoyance of the still paralyzed woman. He turned to look at Glynda, noticing her inability to move, a perverted smile growing on his face.
"Oi, Jiraiya-sama, if you don't behave, I'll possess your shadow instead," the younger shinobi said with his lazy tone of voice.
Jiraiya took a moment to ponder that situation, there's no way the young Nara would be able to hold him for very long… but would it be long enough? Deciding it was better not to risk it, the Toad Sage sighed, before assuming a more serious tone. Noticing the change in his elder, Shikamaru released his hold on Glynda, seeing her lower her arm before walking off with a huff.
Team JNPR was still trying to figure out what was going on when, from behind them, Gai walked up to Ozpin's desk and bowed respectfully. "Professor Ozpin, Team JNPR is reporting for mission assignment," he said as he stood back up.
"Good, I'm sorry to call you all out of class like this, but there is an urgent matter that requires your assistance," the Headmaster said, sipping his coffee. "A little while ago, we received an urgent report from Team RWBY, they have encountered something most unusual. They have come across a faunus Grimm, and Kakashi reported that it seemed to control the beowolves around it by way of a dark, purple chakra tendril invisible to the naked eye," he finished, seeing the shocked looks at the mention of a new type of Grimm, especially one so similar to themselves.
"How did he see it if it's invisible?" Jaune asked, confused that it had a color.
"Kakashi possesses something called a Sharingan, it is a special eye that can see what normal eyes cannot, such as chakra flowing through a person, animal, or area," Jiraiya interjected.
"The person believed to be behind this abomination, is a man called Orochimaru," Ozpin said, drawing attention back to him. "Your mission is to meet up with Team RWBY and assist them in this matter; Jiraiya and Shikamaru here will be accompanying you on this mission. You are dismissed," he said, turning to face his large window as the group of seven left his office, Team JNPR had to pack.
***Break***
Team JNPR, Might Gai, Jiraiya, and Shikamaru all met up at the Bullhead launch pad, their airship waiting for them. After they were all on board, the aircraft lifted off, rushing into the distance to meet up with their comrades.
