I don't own rwby or naruto. I DO own this coffee to my left. It is delicious
At had been a few weeks since ruby and naruto left their apartment, instead moving into beacon for good and actually recreating an exact copy of ruby's original dormitory to reside in. over the past few weeks, neither of the two had heard from their teams, presuming that they were too guilty to see them. This lead to the two of them having nothing to do except either sleep or work. Deciding not to risk a repeat of the incident that lead to the current arrangement, they had put both their engineering minds together to recreate some of the transport of ruby's time, not using naruto's bloodline so as to create a more personal approach to the project.
This is what lead to the scene we see now, with ruby and naruto standing in the front courtyard of beacon, staring at the armada of bullheads that were docked to the cliffs that the academy resided on. The two had decided to take the appearance of ruby's old teachers with some personal tweaks. Naruto was donned in a dark blue suit with his wings drawn close, like a cloak, His thorn MK2 inside a cane like scabbard that made him look like a feral noble. Next to him was ruby, dressed in clothes similar to those she wore after the invasion of beacon (volume four outfit) with crescent rose fully transformed across her shoulder.
They walked to the edge, looking over the village and watching as the occupants flocked to the arena, excited to see the oncoming fights. "naruto-koi" turning his head to see his wife, he was met with the sight of her boarding one of the airships. Nodding, he also stepped on and watched as the controls came to life "ready ADA?". The main screen came on, the name ADA written in large blue letters. "yes madam rose, would you like to take a relaxed flight? Or rather hurry to your destination?" "hurry please ADA. We are already rather late" "yes, Master uzumaki. Please hold on tight, I am still rather new to flying".
The arena
The combatants were arriving as were the remaining audience members. Up in the kage box, hiruzen had just welcomed the kazekage and was currently waiting on naruto. "hokage-dono" "yes kazekage-dono?". The wind shadow turned to hiruzen, his eyes leaking restrained malice "why are we still waiting? Everyone is here, why do you not start the exams?". "because my friend, we are waiting on another kage. He has been away for some time and has probably only just left his academy.". almost as if that was the silent signal, a low droning sound rang out, and the winds began to grow heavy as a large metal object came over the walls, slowing to a stop over the kage box.
Stepping out of the ship, naruto and ruby dropped to the ground without a sound as naruto spoke into his watch "that will be all ADA. Return to beacon and prepare the security mechanisms" "yes sir". The villagers and shinobi alike, watched in awe as the bullhead shot off to the academy, leaving its passengers to take their specially prepared seats. "ada?" turning to the kazekage, naruto chuckled and decided to relieve him of his confusion "Artificial Diagnosis Algorithm. ADA is a creation of my own design, she runs my entire academy when I am not present. She also cuts down on manpower by running all machinery. Now then, I do believe that we have an exam to watch?"
Barking out a laugh, the kazekage leant over and shook naruto's hand "I like you kid. Please, call me rasa, and yes. I do believe that we can start now, don't you hiruzen?". Nodding, the old man stepped up the railing and announced the exams. Behind him, naruto lent over to rasa "it is good to see you are alive. Did the snake strike my bait?" "yes he did. How you figured out the bastard would betray me I will never know, but thank you naruto"
Leaning back and chuckling, naruto just shook his head. "you need not thank me rasa, I did this for gaara. After planting that seal on him without him knowing, you should be able to properly seal up shukaku and release your son from his curse. All you have to do is send him to me after, so that I may train him to become suna's huntsmen representative." Smiling at the youth's proposal, rasa nodded. "a step towards peace" "yes rasa… but do not forget. We may be walking in meadows right now, but there is a snake in the grass."
"you mean in the leaves". Chuckling at hiruzens joke, the old man having returned to hear the end of the conversation, they returned their eyes to the arena to see hinata slam shikamaru to the ground after a tense air based battle and winning the match, causing naruto to frown. "she has become far too brutal since the transformation" "yes but, do not forget naruto. it was your proposal to ruby that caused it". Sighing, naruto was about to retort when ruby spoke for him "my husband was aware of her feelings, and had infact rejected her before meeting me. It seems she is in some sort of crazed denial and is trying to 'prove herself worthy of your love' naru-koi".
The blond simply placed his face in his hand and groaned "I told her that it would never happen because she was too much like a sister to me... apparently she either has a brother kink or she's got the stubbornness of a mule. Either way, I am going to deal with her after these exams as it seems her faunus side has increased her primal instincts. Speaking of which, how is danzo adjusting?" "he is doing well naruto-kun. He ended his first body a week ago and is currently traveling the land of fire to enjoy his new body. Lucky bastard" laughing, naruto watched as ino and shino fought, fuu cheering on her boyfriend as ino teased him.
"now now hiruzen-oji. You said it yourself that you are happy that you can retire soon, although I am still surprised that you've decided to name sasuke as your protégé" "the uchiha have been ruined by the massacre and since I told him the truth, he proclaimed to bring about a new age of uchiha. He even asked me to transfer his mother's and father's eyes to him to create a new sharringan." Naruto looked to hiruzen in confusion "I thought that just creates the eternal?" "no, that is siblings. Turns out that transferring both of your parents turns the sharingan eternal and gives it a new ability. He's called it 'empathy'"
Naruto looked the audience, seeing the said uchiha with white sharrigan with an atom shaped pattern "empathy… he can sense emotions?" "even more.. he can see a person's soul and speak to the dead.. he asked me to pass on a message to you naruto" turning to the old man, he saw hiruzen speak to him with grandfatherly eyes "your mother couldn't be prouder of her little maelstrom and she approves of your wife. And I do believe that minato would agree". The blonde looked to sasuke once more, seeing the raven haired boy looking straight at him with a smile. Sharing a nod between the two, they returned their eyes to the arena, one pair misted over with joyful tears.
In the audience
Sasuke watched as lee rushed gaara, the two of them seeming to enjoy the fight when an ethereal hand was placed on his shoulder "…. I thought you passed on?" "no sasuke-kun… I thought I would stay here and watch how my godson progressed. You need to become strong enough to assist my son and to do that, I think some uzumaki-styled training is in order". Chuckling at the ghosts words, he looked back at her "you sure are a strange one kushina.. but I guess that is where naruto gets it from…" "and apparently you inherited your father's love of green eyes".
Blushing at the statement, sasuke just smiled "I was blind during the academy. When sakura took that blow for me, it opened my eyes. shinobi or not, that kind of love is found only once, I'd have to be heartless not to give it a try". Kushina just watched her godson, unable to stop the swell of pride she felt "you really are your mother's son sasuke." "and naruto is yours kushina. Watch over both of us in the coming battles will you? a little fire in our souls might be what we need".
Laughing, kushina stepped forward and returned to sasuke, her essence spiralling into a seal on his shoulder. Kakashi stepped forward from the shadows, having been watching as sasuke seemingly spoke to thin air. "if I didn't know any better sasuke, I would think that you see her as a mother figure" "she IS my godmother sensei, it stands to logic that I would see her as one. Now shush, the fights getting interesting". Unfortunately, that moment was when everything went to hell as orochimaru himself came up from behind rasa undetected and slit his throat as kabuto rushed the arena, removing the restricting seal on gaara's neck..
naruto was thrown from the kage area by ruby, the rose claiming that she and the old man could handle the snake alone, while he subdued gaara and shukaku. As the blond ran off towards the rampaiging beast in the distance, the biju already having a head start, she turned to orochimaru to see 3 coffins rise from the ground. "kuku I WAS going to use the shodai and nidaime but then these beauties appeared in my grasp. Amazing what searching ruins can bring to you!".
as the coffins rose, ruby caught sight of the markings on them, her heart stopping and her skin going pale. "n-no… YOU MONSTER!". The coffins opened "DON'T YOU DARE FUCKING DEFILE THEM" the bodies opened their eyes. "r-ruby…?" "phyrra… nora….. ren….". the revived members of JNPR walked forward "ruby.. where are we?" "turn around… you'll see why you're here". They did so, seeing a pale man with yellow eyes look at them.
"he summoned you here.. to kill me". The snake savoured the faces of disgust on their faces "kuku that's right kiddies… now KILL her. You are under my comman-" *THWAP* orochimaru was cut off as a rusted hammer slammed into him, flinging him into the barrier surrounding them. "h-how..?!" nora stepped forward, a sadistic grin on her face "AURA MOTHERFUCKER! UNTAIMABLE AND UNBEATABLE." Ren and phyrra stepped next to her, ruby also joining. She looked back to the old man behind her "Hey gramps! Just sit back and enjoy the show, we got some legs to break!". The 'old man' did as he was told, sensing the power behind the three resurrected warriors.
The ensuing beatdown would be spoken about for years to come
With naruto
Naruto had finally caught up the rampaging beast, floating a few meters away. "damn that fucker is big. I'm gonna need backup for this". He was about to use the summoning jutsu when sasuke landed on the tree below him "SASUKE?" "sup twat-head! I see you have a tanuki problem, need a hand to exterminate this pest?" floating down to him, he nodded "but how are you going to get around? I doubt you can fl… oh ho hoLY SHIT!" in the middle of his sentence, sasuke had activated a seal on his shoulder.
His hair gained a red tint, his sharingan gained an amethyst background and from his back shot two large glowing purple wings. "you were saying?" "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?" "a gift from your mother. When I use this seal, I turn into a half uzumaki. With that, I BECOME the Susanoo." "m-my mother?". Sasuke nodded, looking towards shukaku who had now noticed the two "yes. You already know how so don't ask. Now let's go!" "wait!" turning to naruto, he saw the blonde had a smirk on.
"what? we don't have time to sit around!" "well I just didn't want you to be the only one without an active seal". With that, green vines spread across naruto's body, wrapping him like a caccoo. It broke open mere seconds after, showing naruto in his full sage transformation except the scales were now crimson. "NOW we can go". Nodding towards the blonde, sasuke took off towards the sand beastm with naruto not far behind.
Shukaku watched as the two drew near, somewhat scared as he sensed the power they possessed. He began the handsigns for his signature jutsu, the air bullet when he noticed something. Didn't he have five fingers on that hand before? "HEY! FUCKTARD!" he looked down, seeing the blonde one holding his finer, skewered on his sword. "MISSING SOMETHING?!" the mockery was made worse by the smug grin. Feeling a tap on his shoulder, he turned to see the red-haired one painting his palm towards him. "BURN OUT!"
Naruto watched as shukaku's face exploded in flame, courtesy of sasuke's eyes. "nice one!" puling out his sword, he drew it back and charged his power into it "OUTTA THE WAY!" sasuke dashed to the left, seeing naruto draw his sword back. Creating more flames, he did exactly the same from the sky. The two began to chant, sasuke following naruto's words with his own "THE LIGHT OF THE LEAF SHINES ON YOU AND THE SHADOW OF OUR FLAMES BURNS YOUR SOUL, FALL NOW BEAST, TO THE BLADES OF MAN AND NEVER RETURN TO THE PLANE OF MORTALS! FOR IT IS PROTECTED!
WEAPONS ART/INFERNO STYLE: WILL OF FIRE!
Light and shadow. Purple and red. These two illuminated the sky as the two warriors met, shukaku in the middle of the two blows, a pillar of twin flames rising and scorching the clouds. The mighty ring of steel against steel like a bell, tolling for the final moments of the great beast. When the flames dissapaited, no one moved as they gazed apon the godly figures above them. Sasuke glowed a dark violet, his aura spreading across the sky and revealing the full moon overhead while naruto glowed a brilliant yellow, his own aura stting the sky ablaze and a crimson sun shining on the lands. Back to back, their twin voices echoed across the nations "THE FIRES SHADOW SHALL ILLUMINATE THE VILLAGE, AND THE RING OF STEEL SHALL ECHO THROUGHOUT THE LANDS. WE ARE THE GUARDIANS OF THE WILL OF THE FLAMING STEEL, STANDING STRONG AGAINST ALL THREATS. DO NOT FUCK WITH US!"
Deciding to be smart, the sound shinobi abandoned their attack, not willing to face the angels of destruction before them. Orochimaru himself laid crippled next to his dying sensei, hiruzen having been poisoned himself during the fight by a stray kunai, "hiruzen.." "yes orochimaru?" "is this that will of fire you always spoke of". The old man laughed, feeling nostalgia at teaching his old student this final lesson. "no.. this is the will of flaming steel;.. burning with the unbreakable desire to protect those precious to them.. to protect peace." "I see.. it's beautiful….. thank you sensei… for this final lesson." And with that, the two died. Not as the hokage and orochimaru the nuke-nin… but as student and sensei, as it should have been.
Off to the side, ruby watched with the slowly dissolving members of team NPR "so that's jaune-kun's reincarnation?" "yeah.. that's my naruto" "he would be proud of his descendant. He inherited jaune's will to protect his friends" "and his fighting skills from the look at it!". Giggling at nora's classic enthusiasm toward explosions, ruby turned to them with tears in her eyes. "I guess this is goodbye.." the three of them said nothing, instead just rushing ruby for a group hug "w-why… WHY DO YOU HAVE TO LEAVE AGAIN!" "shush ruby… it's alright. At least we got to say goodbye this time,, and we'll always be watching over you." "yeah, ren's right! Besides, you have naruto now.. I think he more than makes up more my hyper ass!" that caused her to laugh, her sobs catching the action in her throat. Turning to phyrra, she was met with a loving smile "we couldn't be prouder of what you've become ruby.. we love you" "I love you too… goodbye..". she did not get a reply, as the three of them had finally dissolved, their summoner dead and unable to maintain them. Looking out to naruto once more, she watched as they flew back to the village.
"don't you worry phyrra, nora, ren... we'll protect this world in your place. and thank you... for making me strong"
