Chapter 3: True Skill
As the day came to an end we see are heroes getting ready for bed "Hey Rubes doesn't this remind you of the slumber parties we used to go to when we were younger" Yang said while laying down beside her sister "I don't think dad would approve with all the boys though." Ruby replied without taking her eyes off of the letter she was writing
"I know I do" As Yang was looking at all the boys who were topless, then her eyes landed on a certain someone who just came out of the shower "Mama likes what she sees" As Yang unconsciously licked her lips
Heading towards her and ruby was Naruto who was wearing a black tank top with gray jogging pants and instead of his regular black eye patch in its place was a gray one and she could see that his hair was still damp from the shower he took
"Hey Yang, Hey Munchkin" He greeted with a grin "Naruto, OMG it really is you, I missed you so much" As Ruby quickly got up and hugged her cousin "Hehe. . . I missed you too Rubes" As he returned the hug
"Hey Naruto why don't you introduce me too your friends" As Weiss approached the group "Sure, these are my cousins the one with the blonde hair is Yang and this is Ruby" As Naruto disengaged from the hug while Weiss and Ruby fully faced each other "Oh not you again!/Oh not you again!" Weiss and Ruby both exclaimed at the same time while pointing at each other
"Wait you guys know each other?" Naruto questioned
"Know Her. She's the one I told you about, the one who blew up" Weiss Exclaimed angrily "Hey, It's was partly your fault you know" Yang shouted back "Yang she's right It was my fault" Ruby squeaked "Oh now your on my side" Weiss said "I was always on your side" Ruby replied "Yeah what's your problem with my sister" Yang demanded "She's a hazard to my health" Weiss huffed
Off to the side Naruto was observing the fight "So are they friends of yours" The girl beside him questioned "Yeah they are" Naruto sighed "My names Naruto by the way" As he faced the girl while extending his hand "Blake Belladona, It's a pleasure" Blake said while grasping his hand
"So I see you like to read books just like me" Naruto said while looking at the stack of books beside Blake "So what's the story of the book you were just reading" Naruto asked "W-well It's about a man who was hated growing up but he earned the respect of his people when he fought to protect them against a great evil" Blake said while looking down "That sounds like a good book mind if I borrow it when your done" Blake looked up to him with a sparkle in her eyes "Sure, As long as you let me see some of your books"
"Deal" As Naruto reached for the candles "Well good night kitten" As he blew out the candles 'He knows!' Blake thought while looking at Naruto with her cat like eyes
The Next Day
"Wake up lazy but" A orange haired girl said to a guy who just newly woke up "It's morning, It's morning, It's Moooorning~" The girl sang while the boy she woke up just sighed as the girl continued to ramble on about random things the boy was just doing his best to get ready for the day
As they made their way to the lockers "We need to make sure we end up on the same team" The hyperactive girl exclaimed "I know! We'll have some sort of signal! Like a distress signal!" The girl gasped "A secret signal so we can find each other in the forest" The girl pointed at the boy "Can you imitate a sloth?" The girl questioned "Nora. . ." The boy said "Yes, Ren?" The now named Nora answered "I don't think sloths make a lot of noise" Ren answered while folding his two bladed semi automatic pistols
"That's why it's perfect! No one will suspect we're working together!" Nora happily exclaimed
As Nora and Ren made their way to the rendezvous point they passed Yang and Ruby
As Naruto dressed in his normal attire made his way to his locker to retrieve his bow, Burning Crescent he saw a familiar red head talking to Weiss
"Hey Pyrrha it's nice to see you again" Naruto said while approaching the two "Naruto, It's really nice to see you too" As Pyrrha gave Naruto a smile which he returned "Ahem. . . Explain to me how you know THE Pyrrha Nikos, Naruto?" Weiss asked "Oh we met on the airship" Naruto casually explained "Well then this makes things easier for me" Weiss said "Since both of you know each other already It won't be a problem if we form a team" The heiress smirked "I don't think it works that way snowflake" Naruto responded "I-idiot what did I tell you about calling me snowflake in public" Weiss said with a blush
"Sorry about that Weiss but we need to go unless you want to be late" Naruto explained
Wasting no time Weiss immediately made her way to the cliffs
"Hehe. , , come on let's go Pyrrha" As he held out his hand which Pyrrha gladly accepted "Yep let's go" Neither of them noticing that their fingers had intertwined with one another
Emerald Forest Cliffs
As the students were all lined up in front of the emerald forest Ozpin made his way to the front of the group "For years you have trained to become warriors and, today your abilities will be evaluated in the emerald forest"
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams" Glynda explained while holding her tablet "Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion each of will be given teammates today" Glynda said with finality
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here in beacon" Ozpin continued "So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone whom you can work well with that being said the next person whom you make eye contact with will be your partner for the next four years"
Naruto could hear Ruby's whimpering from his position but unlike Ruby he wasn't scared or nervous but instead he was extremely excited gripping burning crescent as he waited for his turn to be launched while
"Let's rock" He yelled while flying in the air he could see people using different methods to land, He gripped his bow tightly while charging a shot which he fire to slow him down enough for him to land
As he landed he heard a growl come from behind him and when he turned around he saw that he had landed in front of a pack of beowolves not wasting time Naruto quickly brought his bow in front of him and fired two shots at the beowolves at the front nailing them both in the head then he quickly dashed towards the remaining grim splitting his bow to form two swords which he used to decapitate a beowolf while using the body of the grim to vault himself towards another grim while twisting his body so that his blades would hit the other beowolf after a few minutes of him weaving around his opponents quickly killing them using precise strikes after awhile only one was left and when he was about to attack he heard a gunshot and saw that the last remaining beowolf was hit right between its eyes
When he turned around he was face to face with Pyrrha
"So are their any spots left in your team" She questioned "Their is always a spot for you Pyrrha because you're my friend" He smiled at her not noticing the light dusting of pink on her cheeks
"Come on, let's find this artifact before other grim show up" He told her while making his way through the forest with Pyrrha right behind him
After trekking for a few minutes our favorite duo found themselves in a clearing with a cave opening in front of them
"I think this is it" Naruto said while entering the cave with Pyrrha following behind him
"Are you sure Naruto?" Pyrrha questioned "I'm pretty sure this is it" He answered while lighting a torch which revealed a death stalker right in front of them
"I don't think this is it" As she readied her weapons "We can't fight here or we'll bring the entire cave down" As He grabbed her arm while running away from the death stalker that was following them
As both of them made their way to another clearing were they saw the rest of the students had gathered he then heard screaming and looked up to see that Weiss was falling
"I got you Weiss" As he rushed towards her using his body as a cushion for Weiss'
"Thank you Naruto" Weiss said
"Don't let your guard down just yet the nevermore you were just riding is coming back" Naruto said while readying his bow
Just then the death stalker that was following Pyrrha and Naruto arrived at the clearing with a pack of beowolves behind it
"All of you head for the cliffs, I'll hold them off" Naruto said while shooting some aura arrows at the death stalker
"B-but-" Ruby started "No buts" Naruto shouted "just go I'll be fine"
"You better come back to me- I-i mean us alive" Yang blurted out while following the rest of the group
"Hehe. . . Time to let loose" As Naruto split his bow into it's sword form and slashed at the ground creating a deep gash in the soil "You want to go after my friends then you'll have to go through me first" Naruto said as looked at the pack of grimm with a cold glare
As the first beowolf lunged at Naruto, he just simply stepped to the side and avoided the swing while using his sword to decapitate the beowolfs head
As he continued slaughtering the beowolves with his swords he noticed that the death stalker just waiting for him to finish
As Naruto finished the last of the beowolves he rushed towards the death stalker using his momentum he swung his blade aiming for its eyes but it was blocked by the claw jumping backwards to avoid the stinger he quickly transformed his swords into its bow form aiming at the stinger of the death stalker he shot it off using one of his arrows using this to his advantage he rushed towards the death stalker while charging an explosive arrow
The death stalker tried to swipe at him with its claw he dodged it by sliding under the belly
"GG son" Naruto exclaimed while releasing the charged shot hitting the death stalkers weak point what followed next was the explosion from the arrow
BOOM
As the smoke cleared the once beautiful clearing was covered in ash and rocks scattered everywhere
Naruto looked around to see if their were more grimm to kill, he looked towards the cliff and saw Ruby decapitate a nevermore with her scythe but what she didn't see was that their was another nevermore heading towards her wasting no time Naruto quickly aimed at the nevermore but instead of the regular blue arrow this one was different it was pitch black with wisps of purple coming off of it
"Get away from my family!" Naruto shouted while red and black aura started to seep out of his eye patch
As the arrow was fired it hit its target causing a violent explosion much larger than the one earlier
BOOOM
With the others
As the rest of the gang looked up they saw that the incoming nevermore was disintegrated by the explosion
"What was that?" Pyrrha asked while looking at the explosion
"I don't know but we need to get to the cliffs" Blake answered
As the group made their way to the cliffs they saw that Naruto was already their
"Hey guys what took you so- Ow!" Naruto yelped as Yang punched him on the shoulder
"Don't ever scare me like that you idiot!" Yang shouted with misty eyes "Sorry, I promise to make it up to you" Naruto replied "But we should go inside now everyone's already inside" As he lead the group inside the assembly hall
Assembly Hall
"Russel Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing and Sky Lark the four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces, from this day forward, you will work together as team CRDL (cardinal) Lead by Cardin Winchester" Ozpin announced "Blake Belladona, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee and Yang Xiao Long the four of you retrieved the white knight pieces, from this day forward, you will work together as Team RWBY (ruby) lead by Ruby Rose"
"Good job Ruby" Naruto whispered as he made his way up to the stage "Naruto Xiao Long, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos and Nora Valkyrie the four of you retrieved the white rook pieces, from this day forward, you will work as Team NNRV (nirvana) lead by Naruto Xiao Long" Ozpin finished
"Good job Naruto" Yang yelled from the crowd
As Naruto looked towards his smiling teammates "This is gonna be awesome"
