Chapter 6- Initiation, Teams and the mystery deepens.

Hey guys back again. This will be my last update on fanfiction for at least a month and a half so that I can focus on my finals. Anyway, a few key events happening in this chapter being the initiation and team assignments then we also have Naruto learning more about the Grimm and his return to Beacon Academy in order to report his findings. My story will basically be split into two plots with the canon RWBY plot with some changes due to key differences like the different parentage and also Summer being alive and all that. The story running parallel would be Naruto's journey to try and stop the Grimm and as cliche as this sounds, I intend to insert an Otsustuki for him to find and fight that is linked to the Grimm. Also planning on having Naruto face a Grimm version of the Kyuubi. So review on that idea. An underlying plot will be Tobi, the white fang and Cinder. Enough with the pleasantries, off with their head err I mean on with the story.


There was a definite aura of excitement in the lockers as the new recruits of Beacon Academy were getting themselves ready for the initiation ceremony today. Blake, Yang and Ruby were getting prepped near each other as their lockers were close by. All around them people were drawing out their weapons and checking to make sure that they worked fine.

Are you all excited for the initiation ceremony?" Yang said as she did a couple of ghost punches.

"I just want to get this over with so that I can go back to doing my own things." Blake said.

"I am so looking forward to Today cos I finally get to stop needing to make friends and can instead let this do the talking for me." Ruby said as she held onto her weapon tightly.

"You know Ruby, today they are forming teams and it will be quite important to get to know people so that you get put into a good team that can work effectively together." Blake said.

"Why can't I be in any of your teams? Or why can't we be together?" Ruby said.

"I think it might be best if you formed your own team without us so that you can grow up little sister." Yang said.

"Wait so none of you want me in your team?" Ruby said disheartened.

"Relax Ruby. Whatever happens happens. We just think that it might be good to know more people so that you have your bases covered." Blake said.

At the same time that was going on, Weiss was busy having a conversation with Prryha Nikos. One of the most notable candidates currently at Beacon having won the Mistral tournament several times. Weiss had asked Prryha's thoughts on teams and had asked if she wanted to form a team with her. All for the sake of creating a strong pair that would become very popular. They were interrupted by Jaune who tried to flirt with Weiss and ignored Prryha completely. Weiss brushed him off as he was pinned to a locker by Prryha's spear. The two girls walked off with Prryha giving him one last kind greeting.

"Hey there. What's up 'vomit boy'?" Yang said.

"Hey my name is Jaune." Jaune said as he slumped to the ground.

"Hey there Jaune, my name is Ruby. I think you are pretty funny. What's wrong?" Ruby said as she attempted to make friends.

"Hey there Ruby. It's just that I don't get it. I was told that the ladies dig confidence so what went wrong." Jaune said dejectedly. Yang snorted at this.

"I think calling her snow angel was the mistake. Anyway, good luck for your initiation later Jaune." Yang said as she walked out.

"By Jaune. See you later." Ruby said as she went to chase after her sister.

Cliff near Emerald Forest.

"Your initiation will be taking place at the Emerald Forest. Your task is to retrieve an item from the ruins at the end of the path. You will be relying on your own landing strategy to help you get there. I would advise you to be very cautious on your journey there and do not hesitate to use your weapons when you encounter opposition or you will die." Ozpin said as he addressed all the candidates at the edge of the cliff. The hopefuls were standing on grey plates.

"As you all know, here at Beacon you are assigned to teams. And as per usual, all of you shall...Today. The first person you see upon landing will be the one who you end up being partnered with." Glynda explained. At hearing this, Ruby got scared. Some of the other hopefuls were now making plans to try and get any of the best hopefuls to be paired up with them.

"Any questions?" Ozpin asked.

"Yeah, earlier you talked about landing strategy... Are you like dropping us off or something?" Jaune asked.

"No you will be falling." Ozpin said with a devious smirk.

"Wait did you give out parachutes or something?" Jaune asked as he saw the first few students being launched away.

"No you will be using your own landing strategy to get to the ground." Ozpin said

Yang put on a pair of shades before she too was launched off with Ruby following after.

"What? Ah!" Jaune screamed as he was launched into the air with the other students.

Everyone was all still in the air and had begun using their own skills to land themselves safely on the ground. Ruby crashed and killed a poor crow before unfolding Crescent Rose and hooking herself on a tree branch to stop herself by swinging around it a few times. This was after she had fired a few shots in order to use the recoil to slow herself down. Weiss used her semblance to creates glyphs that allowed her to land safely and gracefully. Ren flipped around and used his weapons to hook onto a tree and swing around to land. Yang on the other hand was having her fun, using the recoil from her gauntlets to go faster through the air before leaping off a few trees and tucking into a roll to land. Prryha used her shield to crash through a few trees and landed safely on a tree branch. She noticed Jaune still sailing through the air and so decided to help him out by pinning him to a tree with his spear.

"Gotta find Yang, Gotta find Yang." Ruby repeated to herself as she used her semblance of speed to zoom through the forest her Sharingan was active to help her pinpoint her sister and navigate through the forest.

'Oh this is bad this is really bad. What if I can't find her? What if someone else finds her first? There is Jaune he seemed like a good guy. He's nice and funny. Although I don't think he is very good in a fight. Blake's cool too. But I don't know if I can really hold a conversation with her. Okay so who else do I know in this school, there is Yang, Jaune, Blake and...' Ruby thought as she continued speeding through the forest. She skidded to a stop when she saw Weiss in front of her. Weiss' eyes widened before she turned and walked away.

"Wait where are you going?" Ruby shouted. "We are supposed to be team mates..." Ruby muttered while kicking the ground.

Weiss walked through the forest and gingerly stepped past some bushes and stumbled upon Jaune who was still being pinned to a tree by Prryha's spear. He offered her a nervous wave only to have her stalk back to where Ruby was and drag her by her red hood.

"By no means does this make us friends." Weiss said grumpily.

"You came back!" Ruby gushed.

"Hey wait come back. Who's going to get me down from here?" Jaune said.

"Jaune? Do you have any spots left on your team?" Prryha asked as she saw Jaune pinned to a tree.

"Very funny." Jaune responded.

"What's the hurry?" Ruby asked.

"I will not let my mission be delayed because you are too slow. I swear if I get a bad grade because of..." Weiss grumbled only for Ruby to appear right next to her.

"I'm not slow see? You don't have to worry about me." Ruby said.

"Wait what's up with your eyes?" Weiss asked.

"Oh this is the Sharingan that I inherited from my dad and my mom." Ruby said.

"Wait who is your dad by the way?" Weiss asked out of curiosity since she did not know that a semblance existed where the user's eye would change color.

"Huh oh my dad is Naruto Uzumaki." Ruby said nonchalantly already expecting Weiss' response. Her dad was famous after all.

"Wait you are the daughter of the Naruto UzumakI? How are you such a klutz? And how come you have red eyes? Naruto has blue eyes." Weiss said.

"Actually Dad's eyes are metallic purple with concentric circles in a ripple pattern with six tomoe in each eye. Mine are the weaker version of what dad and mom has. Mom has the more advanced version of these eyes while Dad has the fully matured version of these eyes. And in my defense I was confused and you were throwing dust into the air, aggravating my nose." Ruby explained.

"So what exactly does that semblance let you do?" Weiss asked as they continued walking through the forest.

"Well in this form it allows me to predict my opponents movements by making micro-details in movements clearer. Mom's version gives her access to some other abilities that are unique to the individual as well as the big warrior construct that Dad used to beat back the Grimm during the attack 23 years ago." Ruby said.

"Right well then, I guess we should probably try to start a new since we are going to be stuck together for the next four years. I am Weiss Schnee." Weiss said.

"And I am Ruby Uzumaki. Come on. The ruins are this way." Ruby said as she indicated the direction where all the signatures in the forest were heading towards.

Yang was fighting with a pair of Ursa that she had run into while trying to look for her sister. Her Sharingan was active allowing her to predict and react to the Ursa's attacks. She was doing well against the two of them until one of the Ursa accidentally cut off a strand of her hair causing her to snap.

"You... you... monsters!" Yang screamed as she charged at the Ursa.

"Try this on for size! Morning Peacock!" Yang shouted as she delivered a flurry of punch shots at the Ursa. The move having been developed by her and Naruto together during training. Naruto had found a set of moves that were suited to her combat style and semblance and so they worked together to help her learn it, with Naruto being a very willing practice dummy.

"You want some too?" Yang yelled at the last Ursa only for it to drop down dead as a weapon impaled it in the back. She saw a familiar black haired girl behind it.

"Hey there Blake." Yang greeted.

"Nice to see you too Yang. I guess this makes us partners huh?" Blake said.

"Yeah I guess it does. " Yang said as they journeyed through the forest together.

Prryha and Jaune were walking through the forest with Prryha at the front when they stopped and turned their attention to the directions where sounds could be heard from.

"Did you hear that?" Jaune asked.

"Gunfire. It seems that some of our comrades have encountered the enemy." Prryha responded.

They continued walking through the forest as Prryha used her shield to push aside a branch only to have it snap back into place and hit Jaune in the face in the process of doing so.

"Jaune, sorry." Prryha said.

"Heh, it's okay. Just a scratch." Jaune said as he got up.

"Why didn't you activate your aura?" Prryha asked.

"What?" Jaune responded.

"Jaune, do you know what aura is?" Prryha questioned.

"Of course I do. Do you know what aura is?" Jaune retorted trying to hide his lack of knowledge on the subject.

"Aura is the manifestation of our soul. It bears our burdens and shields our hearts. Have you ever felt like you were being watched without knowing that someone was there?" Prryha said.

"Umm..yeah." Jaune replied.

"With practice, our aura can be our shield. Everyone has it, even animals." Prryha continued.

"What about monsters?" Jaune questioned.

"No, the monsters we fight lack a soul. They are creatures of Grimm. The manifestation of animosity. They are the darkness and we are the light." Prryha said.

"Right that's why we fight them." Jaune responded.

"It's not about why. It's about knowing. Understanding both dark and light helps us manifest our aura. Everyone has some of both. By baring your soul outward as a force, you can deflect harm. All of our tools and equipments are conduits for aura. You project yourself and your soul with fighting." Prryha explained.

"It's like a force field." Jaune exclaimed.

"Yes if you want to look at it that way. Now, close your eyes and concentrate." Prryha said as she placed a hand on Jaune's cheek.

"Uhh... Okay." Jaune said as he closed his eyes. Prryha glowed red while Jaune glowed white for a moment before they returned to normal. Prryha looked exhausted.

"Prryha? You okay there?" Jaune asked.

"It's alright. I used my aura to unlock yours. The energy that protects you now is your own. And you have a lot of it." Prryha said as the cut on Jaune's cheek healed itself.

"Wow. This is really cool." Jaune said.

Elsewhere, Ren had just finished defeating a pair of Snakes and was panting a little from exhaustion. He returned his weapons to his sleeves and dusted himself off. He turned around when he heard a weird sound coming from behind him and saw Nora hanging upside down on a tree.

"Heh, I still don't think that's what a sloth sounds like." Ren commented.

"Boop." Nora said as he touched Ren's nose.

"It seems like the last pair has been formed. Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. Poor boy. I can't possibly imagine those two getting along. Still he is probably better off than Miss Nikos. I don't care what his transcripts say that Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat. I guess we will find out soon enough. At their current pace, they should be reaching the temple within just a few minutes." Glynda commented as she watched the proceedings from her scroll.

Blake and Yang had been trekking through the forest for some time when they came upon a set of ruins in a clearing.

"Think this is it?" Yang asked. Blake said nothing and walked towards the ruins with Yang following behind her.

"Chess pieces?" Blake said as she noticed the relics that they were supposed to retrieve.

"Some of them are missing. Looks like we aren't the first ones here. " Yang said.

"It sure seems like it. Anyway, I guess we should pick one." Blake said.


At the same time, Forest of Forever Fall.

Naruto was in the center of a clearing in Forever Fall after he had exterminated some Grimm that were in the forest. He cursed his luck because now he was late to his two daughters' initiation to Beacon academy. He had intended to just quickly wipe out one or two packs of Ursa to try and learn a little bit more about the Grimm before he returned to visit his family and give his report but thanks to his luck outside of games and bets, he encountered far more Grimm than he had originally expected and now he was already late. Thankfully Summer was telling him what was going on through their shared bond.

"Oh well, might as well try and get something out of this before I go see them in time for team assignments." Naruto said as he created chakra receivers and proceeded to stab them into one of the Ursa that had yet to disintegrate. As soon as he inserted the last one, he finally felt a strong link being established to the Grimm. He focused on the connection and immediately his mind was assaulted by various images. The shattered moon becoming a gateway, a large Multi headed dragon Grimm appearing in sky to destroy humanity. While those were certainly disconcerting images the one that unnerved Naruto the most though was a shadowed figure turning the dragon Grimm into a pill and consuming it. The only thing Naruto could make out on the figure was its purple eyes with concentric rings.

'Did you guys see that' Naruto said as he popped into the tailed beast plane to discuss his findings with the Bijuu.

'It seems that the moon is some sort of gateway and this dragon Grimm is some sort of mother Grimm or progenitor or something like that' Kurama said.

'Yes but what was more confounding was the Rinnegan wielder at the end. Does that mean that this world has some sort of link to the Shinobi World? Or more than we originally suspected?' Kokuo said.

'I don't think that this world has a connection with the Shinobi world. It has a connection with the Otsustuki.' Naruto said throwing his thoughts out for debate.

'That is not entirely impossible. The Otsustuki are after all alien in origin and they might have made contact with this world. What do you think we should do about this?' Kurama said.

'I don't know. This needs more investigation. Anyway, I need to get to Beacon academy. Don't want to miss Ruby and Yang getting assigned to teams. I want to at least get there before they finish initiation. I think I'll fly there. It'll give me time to think before I go talk to Ozpin and the others.' Naruto said as he left the tailed beast plane. Once back in the real world, he activated his rinnegan and spawned his Susanoo, using to fly to Beacon Academy, his mind running at a mile a minute as he meditated on what he learnt.


Back at the Emerald Forest

Prryha and Jaune on the other hand had arrived at a cave entrance around the same time as Blake and Yang had reached the ruins.

"Think this is it?" Jaune asked.

"I'm not sure this is it." Prryha said as they walked through the cave with Jaune holding a torch.

"Huh. Prryha, I made the torch. Could you at least humor me for maybe five more feet?" Jaune said. He slipped and fell, dropping the torch in the process. The torch went out, leaving the both of them in the darkness of the cave.

"Do you feel that?" Prryha asked.

"Soul crushing regret?" Jaune said.

"No its warm." Prryha said as the two of them journeyed deeper into the cave and came upon what seemed to be a glowing rock.

"This must be the relic." Jaune shouted. He reached out to ry and grab it only to have it move out of the way each and every time.

"Umm.. Jaune..." Prryha said as multiple sets of glowing eyes stared at them.

Back with Yang and Blake.

"How about a cute little pony?" Yang said as she held up the golden knight piece.

"Sure why not." Blake said. They heard a loud girlish scream in the distance and turned in the direction of the sound.

"Some girl is in trouble. Blake did you hear that?" Yang asked.

Prryha was running out of the cave with the Death Stalker on her tail. Jaune was screaming all the way as he hung onto the stinger of the creature for his life.

"Jaune, whatever you do don't let go." Prryha said but before she could even finish her sentence, the death stalker swung its stinger and sent Jaune flying through the air. Prryha decided that running away was probably a good plan and sped off towards the direction where Jaune was flung with the death stalker chasing after her.

Ruby and Weiss on the other hand were hanging on to dear life as they were flying through the sky on the nevermore. They had somehow managed to jump on the nevermore's back while trying to make their way to the ruins. Apparently Ruby at that point decided that it was a good idea to jump and decided to do so, leaving a stuttering Weiss behind as she tried to comprehend her partners actions.

"Blake did you hear that? What should we do?" Yang asked as she tried to get the other girls attention only for her to repeatedly point towards the sky. They looked up to see Ruby falling towards the ground and then a flying Jaune crashing into her, causing both of them to land in the trees.

"Uhh... What was that." Ruby said as her head was still spinning from the fall.

"Hey Ruby." Jaune said as he hung upside down from the trees.

"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake asked as they looked at the area where Ruby and Jaune had landed.

"I..." Yang was about to say something but was interrupted by and Ursa appearing with Nora riding on it and Ren panting while trying to catch up to her.

"Aww it's broken." Nora said as she looked at the downed Ursa.

"Nora... please, don't ever do that again." Ren said only to find Nora gone. Nora had gone to the ruins and picked up the golden rook piece.

"I'm queen of the castle. I'm queen of the castle." Nora said happily as she balanced the rook piece on her head.

"Nora!" Ren shouted.

"Coming Ren." Nora said with a mock salute.

"Did that girl just ride in on an ursa?" Blake said.

"I..." Yang was about to say something but was again interrupted, this time by the appearance of Prryha who was being chased by a death stalker.

"Ruby?" Yang said as she saw her sister jump down from the trees and land next to her.

"Yang!" Ruby shouted in happiness. The two were about to hug only for the moment to be interrupted.

"Nora!" Nora shouted as she appeared between them.

"Did she just run all the way here with a death stalker on her tail?" Blake said. Asking a rhetorical question for at least the third time today.

"I can't take it anymore. Could anyone just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again?" Yang shouted in exasperation as her Sharingan activated and her aura became visible.

"Umm Yang?" Ruby said as she pointed to the sky where Weiss was hanging onto the talon of the nevermore.

"How could you leave me?" Weiss shouted.

"I said jump." Ruby said.

"She's going to fall." Blake said.

"She'll be fine." Ruby said.

"She's falling." Ren stated.

Jaune at this time just recovered from his earlier landing and saw Weiss falling and saw it as an opportunity to play hero. He leapt out of the trees to grab Weiss, catching her perfectly in his arms only to realize that they were both at the mercy of gravity. The two of them landed on the ground, their weapons following them. Jaune landed on the ground face first as Weiss landed on his back.

"My hero." Weiss said sarcastically as she checked her nails.

"My back." Jaune said. All the while, Prryha was still being chased by the death stalker.

"Great the gangs all here. Now we can die together." Yang commented as Prryha landed in front of them.

"Not if I can help it." Ruby said as she charged straight at the death stalker, unfolding her scythe along the way.

"Ruby wait!" Yang shouted. Ruby was easily swatted aside by the death stalker.

"Don't worry, totally fine." Ruby said as she got up. She tried to shoot the death stalker only to find that her bullets had no effect at all. Deciding that now was a good enough time to use the things her father thought her, she blurred through hand seals before creating a large dragon out of water that slammed into the death stalker, sending it flying into the trees.

"Ruby!" Yang shouted as she charged forward to try and help her sister. The nevermore flew towards them and shot of its feathers which were like bullets. Yang focused lightning chakra into her hand and shot off several lightning senbon to destroy the incoming feathers, hugging her little sister as soon as she was near her.

"What do we do now?" Weiss asked as the two sisters rejoined the group.

"I say we take the relics and make our way back to the cliff. Fighting the Grimm is not part of our task." Ruby said.

"Completing the mission and living to fight another day. I can get behind that." Jaune said as he and Ruby went to grab a relic.

Just as the eight of them were about to move, they say a large blue warrior with wings fly overhead and bisect the large nevermore just as it was about to try and swoop down to attack them.

"Hey Ruby isn't that Dad?" Yang asked.

"Yeah it is. But what is he doing here?" Ruby wondered as the blue warrior stabbed the death stalker with its sword, causing it to burst into black flames. The blue warrior landed in front of them and it dissipated leaving Naruto on the ground in front of them.

"Hey there kids, I was passing through and saw that you had some trouble with the Grimm so I decided to drop in." Naruto said.

"Dad!" Ruby and Yang shouted before hugging him.

"Wait, those two are daughters of the Naruto Uzumaki?" Ren said in surprise.

"Well that explains why Ruby got into Beacon Academy when she is only 15." Pyrrha said.

"Wait who is this Naruto person?" Jaune said oblivious to everything.

"Do you live under a rock or something? Naruto Uzumaki is the strongest huntsmen currently on active duty. He might be the strongest huntsmen period." Weiss said.

"Now now. No need for such praise. Let's get you kids back to the cliff so we can get this over with shall we? I need to have a chat with Ozpin about some matters. Hold still now." Naruto said as he activated his Rinnegan and surrounded them in his Susanoo before teleporting them back to the school.

Everyone had gathered back in the ballroom for team announcements. Naruto and Summer stood behind Ozpin and Glynda, catching up as Naruto told her of some of the things he had been up to, making sure to keep out the details of the Grimm out until they were in private.

"Russell Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing, Sky Lark. The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward you shall be working together as team CRDL. Led by Cardin Winchester. Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Prryha Nikos, Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will be working together as team JNPR, led by Jaune Arc. Congratulations young man." Ozpin said. Ruby, Weiss, Yang and Blake walked onto the stage.

"Blake Belladonna, Ruby Uzumaki, Weiss Schnee and Yang Uzumaki. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forth you shall be working together as team RWBY, led by Ruby Uzumaki." Ozpin announced.

"Congratulations little sister." Yang said as she gave Ruby a hug. Naruto and Summer walked up to congratulate their daughter. As the crowd started to thin out once most of the students had left for their newly assigned dorms, Naruto turned to Ozpin with a serious expression.

"We need to talk." Naruto said. Ozpin nodded and they walked back to his office.

"What troubles you?" Ozpin said.

"I need you to contact the council all of them. This is an important matter that involves everyone." Naruto said. Ozpin nodded as he proceeded to establish links with all of the councils. Apparently when Naruto Uzumaki was serious about a matter everyone was quick to respond.

"As many of you may or may not know, I have spent the last four years travelling the world of Remnant looking for clues to try and stop the Grimm for good. My Rinnegan allowed me to follow the traces of Grimm energy and I was able to ascertain that they shared a hive mentality at a very fundamental level. Their reaction to humanity is ingrained into their being. With that in mind I tried to find ways to establish a connection with the hive mind. And all attempts in the four years had lead to failure." Naruto said.

"That is until recently. I managed to establish a temporary connection with the Grimm hive mind. And what I discovered has great implications for humanity." Naruto said.

"What did you learn Naruto." Ozpin said.

"The Grimm's aggression towards humanity is not random and is not based on instinct. They want to incite negative emotions in humans in order to gather that negative energy to open a portal. That portal is the shattered moon. When that portal opens, it will allow the queen of the Grimm, which I saw as a large multi headed dragon, to enter the world of remnant thus leading to the end of humanity." Naruto said choosing to leave out the involvement of the Otsustuki clan member.

"And what do you suggest we do? If word gets out people are more likely to go into panic and that would be helping the Grimm in completing their task." Ozpin said.

"We do nothing." Naruto said.

"That is preposterous. You are suggesting that we just roll over and let the Grimm do as they please?" Ironwood said.

"No I'm saying that you people will do nothing about this. I will continue to investigate this and try and find a way to stop the mother Grimm for good or seal it away. My Rinnegan will allow me to traverse the dimensions and hopefully find it. For now this threat is still not confirmed. For all we know I could have been seeing things or I triggered a safety mechanism. So we cannot create panic in the public by carrying out any large actions." Naruto said.

"At the very least take some people with you." Ironwood said.

"With all due respect, me taking others with me would just be a danger to us all. I don't know what I might encounter as I go between dimensions so I need to conserve all the aura for emergencies. Also going alone will make infiltration and escape much easier." Naruto explained.

"Very well then. We will leave this matter to you and request that you report in whenever possible." one of the councilmen stated.

"I will try my best to adhere to that. Now onto the matter of the white fang..." Naruto said.


And cut. last chapter before my hiatus and I decide to end it with a cliffhanger. What exactly is going on with the white fang and what has Naruto learned about them? Tell me what you guys think about my mystery surrounding the Grimm. Also about the cliffhanger, well the reason it is there is because I have not really thought about what I want to do with the white fang as an organization just yet. One of my ideas is actually to have the organization split up after the events of Breach with part of it following Naruto's alias Menma and the other part following Adam Taurus. So anyway this is it guys. Time for me to sit down and get to work. Till next time.
