Archangel Xireon Chaos God: I'm glad you like it and while I like the name you came up with, the name can only be one word, i.e Village Hidden in the Dawn. If that wasn't true, I would go back and change it for that reason because that is a really nice name.

Notes: OOC Ren and Nora.

Red Cloud Injection

In a dark alley in downtown Vale, Itachi, Kisame, Ren, and Nora were making plans to get into Beacon. The kids had already been accepted but they still needed a way to get in and out without anyone knowing. But their planning was interrupted when they heard gunshots nearby.

When they investigated, they saw a girl with silver eyes, a black dress, black leggings, and a red cape decimating people two times her size with a high impact sniper rifle. They also saw Roman Torchwick. An international criminal known for his dust robberies and making huntsmen vanish off the face of the planet.

Itachi put on his straw hat. "Kisame and I will deal with this. You two need to find someplace to hide for the next 14 days." Ren and Nora nodded. "Come, Kisame." The strongest Akatuski duo went after the clever criminal.

Meanwhile, said clever criminal smirked. "Incredible job, red." Roman pointed his cane gun at her. "But this is where we part ways." He was about to fire when he heard an ominous jingle. It creeped him out and for some reason, he recognized that particular noise but he didn't know from where. But it took him 30 seconds to figure it out and he paled when he did. He put his cane down. "Red, get out of here. There are people ten times stronger than me on their way and they'll kill you too if you don't leave."

All the while, the little red riding hood looked at Roman with curiosity until he told her to run because people then times stronger than him were on their way. But she refused to run. "I won't do it. I'll stay and fight. By the way, my name's Ruby."

The bell rang again and a huge jet of water came flying at them like a freight train. It missed them by inches. Kisame and Itachi came out of hiding.

Itachi came out with his usual impassive and dark voice. "They dodged your Water Vortex. Impressive."

"Yes, they did." Kisame smirked darkly. "Roman Torchwick. You need to come with us. Willing or not is not our concern."

Roman pulled Ruby close so he could whisper to her. "Run and I mean it this time. They're from the Akatsuki and they'll kill us both before we can blink. Call the military and don't come look back." Ruby reluctantly nodded and ran to call the military and huntsmen. "Itachi: The Ghost. More recently known as, Itachi: The Mind Killer. And Kisame: The God of Water. What could two of the strongest men in the world want with little old me?"

"We need you to come with us." Said Kisame in his usual dark tone.

Itachi remained impassive. "Relax. We came to negotiate. Come with us and you won't be harmed. I can sense multiple huntsmen and huntresses so unless you want to go to jail, I suggest you get moving."

Roman looked behind him and gave up. If he got caught, he would be executed. If we went with the Akatsuki, he might live. "I'll go with you."

"Kisame. If you would?"

"Gladly." He did thirteen hand signs and then put his hands on the ground. "Water Style: Circular Tsunami!" A giant wave that originated from Kisame's location spread out in a circle and hid their exit from the cameras.

Juniors Club and Bar

On the outside, Roman looked cool as a cucumber but on the inside, he was a nervous wreck. They were having drinks at Junior's club and everyone was staring at them.

"Relax. They're looking at us, not you. You're known for killing huntsmen, not being untouchable." Kisame glanced at Junior. "Martini. Jin, not vodka. Stirred well while glancing at an unopened bottle of whiskey."

"I see you are a man of culture as well." Said Roman. "Now then. What did you want to talk about?"

Kisame downed his drink in one gulp. "Ya see, we're a little short on guns and ammo right now and we know that you know where we can get some in large quantities at a low price. Would you be willing to point us in the right direction or do we need to do it ourselves?"

Roman smirked and ordered the same thing as Kisame. "If it's weapons you need, then you've come to the right man. What do you need, pistols, rifles, assault weapons? I have it all!"

Itachi put a briefcase on the counter with 200,000 lien cash. "The works please. Whatever you can get us for 200,000. We'll cover anything extra."

Roman's eyebrows seemed to disappear into his hair. "You got yourself a deal. Give me a month and a half and you'll have everything you need."

Itachi pulled a paper bag with 2,000 lien cash. "Here. For your troubles."

"Why thank you good sir."

13 days later

Ren called a meeting to tell everyone the news. "As you may or may not know, Nora and I have been accepted into Beacon Academy where we will act as spies. We will go to the launchpad that the freshmen use and I'm afraid that is the only way in or out. It flies over a deep gorge that's filled with strong grimm that would be...difficult to say the least."

Nagato nodded. "I see. Hidan, Kakuzu. Get out there and see what we're up against. If it looks easy enough, kill them. If not, retreat and call me. And when you're done, get in touch with the SDC. Tell them I said, Go to the hospital and ask to have the grimm fangs removed and broken. He'll know what I mean. Sasori and Deidara will meet with him. Itachi and Kisame will watch the base while Konan and I tell the settlements to get ready to move. And speaking of, how soon can we get our weapons?"

"About a month and a half. Roman already knows where to deliver them and the Akatsuki is not strapped for cash right now. According to Roman, we spent enough money on weapons to fully supply a small army." Answered Itachi.

If Sasori had a face, it would look pleasantly surprised. "I didn't know Roman was an arms dealer."

"I guess so. Have you fully rebuilt your spy network?" Asked Konan.

"Yes. If you are willing, I would like to bring Ren and Nora into the fold as well." Replied the human puppet.

Nagato thought that was a good idea. "Yes, do it. That will come in handy. Kisame, Itachi. If Roman calls, answer it. "

They all nodded, "Yes Nagato." and canceled the communication jutsu.

Only Nagato and Konan were in their main hideout so they had to wait for Itachi and Kisame to arrive before they could go anywhere, and when they finally did arrive, Nagato had news. "I have good news. Roman used some of the extra money he had to speed up the process. We'll have our weapons by the end of the week."

Kisame was a little skeptical. "End of the week? But it's Wednesday."

"That's what I said but if he can deliver, then who are we to complain?" Replied the man with the Rennigan. "Watch this place. Konan and I are going to Vale."

Nora and Ren, the next day, Beacon Airship

Nora and Ren leaned up against the wall of the airship that would arrive at Beacon Academy in two hours. They looked at all the first year students with mild curiosity to determine who could be a problem. Ren saw two. "Nora. See those two girls? Tall, blonde, and busty and short, dark, and cute?"

It took Nora a few seconds but she found them. "Yeah, why?"

"Ruby is the shorter one who was with Roman that night and Yang is the tall one. Even the pettiest of criminals know our names and Roman might have mentioned the name Akatsuki."

"You think they'll try to attack us?"

Ren gave a small shug. "Rudy is a maybe but Yang is hot headed enough to do so. We have our rings on but no one has made that connection yet. As long as no one sees black cloaks and red clouds, we'll be fine. And I highly doubt our friends would blow our cover like that."

"Yep. Anyone we need to get rid of?"

"Not confirmed but Blake Belladonna is here. She's the daughter of Kali and Ghina Belladonna and they were the leaders of the peaceful White Fang but did not leave when things went bad. She is a former member but stuck around long enough to commit serval acts of 1st degree murder, armed robbery, and theft so we'll have to wait and see." Ren observed her body language. "She looks like someone's going to jump out of her shadow and kill her."

"Probably left the White Fang under questionable circumstances and is on the run."

"Good to know. Maybe we can use that against her if need be." Ren stopped leaning on the wall. "The airship's about to land. You comin'?"

A few minutes later

"What the hell are you doing?

"Sorry…"

"Sorry?! Do you have any idea what you could have done?!" The crabby girl took out a vile of fire dust. "See this? You almost blew us clean off of the cliff!"

"I'm sorry…."

"What are you even doing here? This isn't your ordinary combat school and I think you're a little young to be here too."

"It was here that a girl with black hair and a hair bow joined the conversation. Ren spoke first. "Weiss Schnee. Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company and one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world."

"Finally, I'm getting the proper recognition." Said the SDC heiress in a snobbish tone.

Ren walked up to her. "Who are also known for their questionable business partners and mistreatment of faunus. Even going so far as to use them as slaves. No wonder why everyone only likes you for your money and power. "

"Ah! The nerve! How dare you?!" The snobbish heiress ran off in a rage, the other girl went back to reading while walking, and only Nora and Ren stayed with Ruby.

Nora reached out to Ruby. "You okay?"

"No…" Whispered the shy weapons girl.

"You'll be fine. Beacon is neutral territory under Lord Ozpin's jurisdiction. The Schnee family can growl, but they can't bite; not without nasty repercussions."

"Thanks, I guess. So...what's your name?"

"I'm Nora. He's Ren."

"Ruby. Ruby Rose. Do you know where we're supposed to go?"

"Yeah. Just follow us."

Ruby followed Nora and Ren to the auditorium where Yang saved them a spot.

Yang put her arm around Ruby. "See? I told you you'd make friends. And it looks like you made two."

"Where were you!? After you left, I exploded! As in I almost blew myself off the cliff!" Yelled Ruby.

"Yikes. Explosion already. Do I want to know?"

"I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage and then she screamed at me, and then I screamed back, and then more screaming, and then, Ren and Nora saved me."

Yang looked at Nora. "Thanks guys. So where are you from?"

"We're from outside the kingdoms."

"Cool. You must be really strong to survive out there."

"Meh. I guess." They heard the sound of a mic. "Shshs. Show's about to start."

Ren discreetly pulled out a voice recorder and waited for the King of Vale to begin his speech.

"I'll keep this...brief." Said Ozpin. "You have come here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire news skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy. You are in need of purpose. Direction.

You assume knowledge will free you of this. But your time at this school will prove that knowledge will only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step. There are dark, red clouds up ahead. You will need all the help you can to clear them. My school will prepare you for it. I wish you luck."

Ren's eyes narrowed dangerously. 'Does he know we're here?!' He calmed himself down. 'No. He knows that we're smart enough to put spies in his school. He knows where we are but not who we are.' Ren thought for a moment. 'Challenge: Accepted, Lord Ozpin. Our leader is waiting.' He stopped recording.

A woman dressed like a secretary approached the mic. "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. Dismissed."

The next morning, combat locker rooms

Ren and Nora observed all the first years with a different eye. Last time, they wanted to know who to watch out for. Now they wanted to know who could be a new recruit. So far, Pyrrha Nikkos was the only candidate. Strong, willing to learn, humble, and most of all, lonely.

The girl was this world's version of Itachi Uchiha. Strong from a young age, trained early, mastered her bloodline in record time, joined Shade Academy at 12 and graduated at 15, and then off to Beacon a few months later when she was still 15. Of course, that's what the public sees. They see the "Invincible Girl." But underneath that is someone crying out for true friends and family and will pull an Itachi if that doesn't change.

'Perfect.' Ren thought. 'I'll report back during initiation.' Ren looked at Nora. "Who do you want to be partnered with?"

"Ruby so we can monitor her and Pyrrha so we can try and recruit her. But as long as we don't have one of those losers-" She pointed to a tall, blonde, and ugle boy, "I'll be happy." Said Nora.

"By happy you mean you won't let him spend a few seconds with Itachi."

"Fair enough."

They were going to keep talking but the intercom stopped them. "All students please report to Beacon Cliff in one hour. All students please report to Beacon Clif in one hour."

Ren shrugged. "I guess we better get moving."

One hour later, Launch pads at Beacon Cliff

The headmaster looked at the potential freshmen and gave his speech. "For years, you have trained to become warriors. Today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest".

The secretary/librarian woman took over. "Now, I'm sure many of you have a rumor about the assignment of teams. Allow me to put those rumors to rest. You will be getting your teams...today."

"These people will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon so it is in your best interest to be paired with someone whom you can work well with. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with will be your partner for the next four years. After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path...or you will die.

You will be monitored and graded throughout your initiation but the instructors will not intervene regardless of the situation. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item as well as your standing and we will grade you appropriately. Any questions?" Silence. "No? Good." Tall, handsome, and blonde tried to ask a question but Ozpin ignored him. "Launching in 3...2...1…GO!"

All of the potential first years were catapulted into the Emerald Forest where they would choose their partners.

30 minutes later, Ren and Nora

After making sure that no one was around, Ren called a meeting with the Akatsuki. After everyone flickered in, he began. "We're in. Awaiting further instructions."

Zabuza looked surprised. "Well color me impressed. Not once did we give you deep cover training and you're already runnin' circles around them. I knew I did the right thing when I picked you guys up."

Nagato grunted. "Cut the chatter, Zabuza. Anyone we need to worry about?"

"Ruby Rose and her team by association. Blake Belladonna is a former White Fang member and stayed long enough to act violently. I don't know who's team she's on but she's clearly running from them and probably us as well. AlthoughI highly doubt we would waste time and resources on one rogue faunus that didn't want to be there."

"No, we won't. How close are we to eliminating the White Fang?"

Everyone grunted but Kakuzu answered. "Not even close. They don't have the training but they have the numbers to rival a major hidden village."

Sasori snorted. "My spies are telling me the same thing. If we want to eliminate them, we'll need to launch an invasion."

Nagato gave Sasori a look that said "in a minute". "Nora, Ren. Get going. The rest of you, stay." Nora and Ren flickered out and went to finish their initiation. "Sorry, Sasori. What were you saying?"

"The most efficient way to deal with the White Fang is a direct, brutal, and efficient attack. Their numbers are too high for us to use shadow warfare and when White Fang members are found dead by the hundreds, all other entities will have to choose between a terrorist group and their own heads." Said the human puppet master.

"I agree. Zabuza, Haku, Kisame, and Itachi will deal with them. Any other news?"

Kisame grunted. "I'll say. Jaquez betrayed us. He pretended to take our deal and when we got there, he had a small army waiting for us. Naturally, all of them are dead but Jaquez and his family escaped."

"Bastard! I can't wait to show him some of my art!" Yelled the The Stone's Mad Bomber.

"I agree. Track down Jaquez and his family, kill them, and detonate the residence but leave Winter and Weiss alive. They're still of use to us." Said Nagato. He looked at Zabuza. "Zabuza's group. Be quick, efficient, and brutal. The cleaner the kill, the clearer the message." He looked at Kakuzu. "You and Hidan will continue to gather money and weapons. We're not ready to take on the kingdoms just yet. That's all. Dismissed." They all flickered out and went to do their jobs.

Ren, A few hours after team announcements

Ren sent a group text to everyone in the Akatsuki. "Initiation complete. Jaune Arc (Male. Useless. Weak. Easy to kill.) Pyrrha Nikkos. (Female. Strong. Hard to kill. Potential recruit. See attached file. Nora Valkyrie. Akatsuki.'

Well? What do you think? Please write a review. They help a lot and I like responding to them. But no flames please.
