I'm Naruto," speechless

What's up everyone Acoustic Ghost here and I got to say I'm loving the feedback from the last chapter. Last chapter was a bit short and I will admit that it was a bit tough. Now as far as Team NNJS is concerned I'm about to get their arc underway soon.

Yano Uzumaki: You are quickly becoming my favorite reviewer! I rewrote that damn sence at least eight times. Two involved Cardin attacking Ruby, at least one with Jaune and Ruby confessing to each other, and the last one I remember is Cardin forcing Jaune Watch him KISS ruby, before she slapped Cardin. I read all of them ad came to the conclusion that simple was best.

Drake O'Wryan Blackheart: I have never played Saint's Row so I have no Idea who Johnny Gat is. I will try and make the chapter longer though.

Doomqwer: Jaune needs to grow a pair quick, before Naruto get's to him. Otherwise it's going to be a problem.

Banki777: Nah. This Naruto is bout that Action.

Chapter 15: A man's pride.

Location: Beacon Academy

Place: Ozpin's Office

Time: 1100

Ozpin looked over at the man who just arrived in his office. He was a veteran Huntsmen that Ozpin trusted as much as he did any of his other inner Circle. Henry John was a very power man that stood at 6'5" with a build that was pure muscle, dark skin, wearing a long sleeve tan t-shirt with 2 buttons on the top with both buttons undone and his sleeves rolled up, fitted blue jean pants with suspenders over his shoulders. Attached to his back was a sledge hammer. (1)

"Henry it's been a while. I expected you back here a few weeks ago," said Ozpin.

Henry smiled. "I'm sorry Ozpin. A a few village's needed me," said Henry before he narrowed his eyes. "Her power base is growing Oz. Not just the Grimm either. I ran into More then just Grimm too. I encountered 2 rouge teams that worked for her. I had no choice but to put them down,"

Ozpin frowned hearing this. "I see. Her power grows day by day... We are starting to fumble around in the darkness," said Ozpin.

"What about the ace in the hole?" asked Henry.

Ozpin took in a breath. "Right now I'd rather she not find out about that what I have in mind. Already we have made many sacrifices throughout the years of fighting," said Ozpin taking a drink from his cup.

Henry frowned hearing this. "Ozpin we have little time left. We also haven't heard from Qrow in 4 months," said Henry.

Ozpin didn't say anything as he looked out his window.

Location: Outskirts of Vale

Place: Forever falls

Time: 1200

Glynda lead the students lead the teams of RWBY, JNPR, NNJS, and CDRL though the Forever Falls as requested by Professor Peach to obtain the sap of the trees. Several of the girls were looking around at the forest in wonder with Jack and Blake being the only exceptions to this. Jaune lagged behind as he was caring all the equipment.

Yes, students, the forest of Forever Fall is indeed beautiful. But we are not here to sight-see. Professor Peach has asked all of you to collect samples from the trees deep inside this forest, and I'm here to make sure none of you die while doing so," said Glynda as she stopped causing the students to stop as well. Each of you is to gather one jar's worth of red sap. However, this forest is full of the creatures of Grimm, so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back here by 4 o'clock. Have fun!"

Jaune looks at his friends and especially Ruby as Cardin dragged him away. Time slowly ticked by as Jaune gathered the sap that Cardin had 'asked' him to get. As time passed Jaune found himself looking at his friends, his teammates, and especially at Ruby. She was the sweetest girl Jaune had ever had the pleasure of meeting. She was cute, kind, talented, and wasn't afraid to fight for what she believed in. She was the type of girl that Jaune had dreamed about all his life. Or at least as long as he had known that he had liked girls. He was a jerk to her and all she tried to do was help him out.

Grabbing the jars he walked up the hill to where Cardin and his team sat goofing off. Once on the hill Jaune fell forward and landed on the ground.

"Ahhh I think I'm allergic to to this stuff," said Jaune with what sounded like a stuffed nasal passage.

"Great, Great Great," said Cardin in an uncaring tone as he hefted Jaune to his feet. "Your probably thinking to yourself, 'Why did my good buddy Cardin ask me to gather six jars when there are only five of us,"

"That is one of many things I've asked myself as of late," said Jaune.

Cardin gained a smirk that Jaune didn't like. "Well follow me and find out," said Cardin.

Cardin, Jaune, and the three stooges all walked to the grove where Team NNJS were working. Jaune turned to Cardin.

"What's going on?" asked Jaune.

"Payback!" growled Cardin slamming his fist into the ground.

"What are you talking about?" asked Jaune.

"I'm talking about that little girly-boy, who though he could show me up me in the cafetiere!" growled Cardin again "Last night, old Jaune here managed to round up an entire box of Rapier Wasps, and now, we're gonna put him to work,"

Russel clapped Jaune on the shoulder as Jaune let out a nevus laugh

"According to one of the papers you wrote for me last week these nasty little things Looove sweets and your going to hit him with the Jar while I unleash the wasps," said Cardin.

"What!?" asked Jaune.

"Hit him with the Sap!" growled Cardin thrusting the jar into his chest. "Or I have a talk with Goodwitch and your on the next flight out of Beacon, back to mommy and daddy,"

Jaune sighed as he raised the glass to throw it. Just as he was about to release it, he stopped himself as Ruby walked over and began to converse with Naruto. This caused Jaune to hesitate more then he already was. While he was friends with Nagisa, Ruby was his best friend and she was in the line of fire. Now he was conflicted. His desires for being a hero vs his desire to protect his friends from harm. He gripped the jar tighter as he came to his conclusion.

"No," whispered Jaune loud enough for Team CRDL to hear.

"What did you say!?" Asked Cardin

"I said NO!" yelled Jaune throwing the jar and hitting Cardin.

The jar broke against his armor, covering him in sap! Jaune looked at the foursome as they glared at him. Cardin laughed darkly as Dove and Sky grabbed Jaune by his shoulders.

"you've done it now Jaunny-Boy," said Cardin.

The next 30 minutes could only be called a beating as Russal, Dove, and Sky laughed as Cardin beat Jaune soundly with his fists. Within that time Jaune had a black eye and a bruised cheek.

"You know that wasn't very smart, Jauney boy." said Cardin. "I'm gonna make sure they send you back to mommy in teeny tiny pieces."

"I don't care what you do to me..."said Jaune as he looked at Cardin with fury in his blue eyes. "... but you are not messing with my my friends!"

Cardin looked at Jaune a bit shocked at his sudden bravery, before he grew angry at the smaller warrior! "What? You think talk like that makes you tough? You think you're a big strong man now?" asked Cardin.

Jaune just smirked at Cardin in defiance. Cardin angered by this throw a punch at Jaune, only for a light to flash and Cardin to drop Jaune as he held his hand in pain! Jaune looked at his hands as a white aura surrounded them.

"Let's see how much of a man you really are!" growled Cardin.

Before the bullies could attack a low growl could be heard. Team CRDL turned and took a step back in fear. Standing before them was a HUHE Ursa major. While they could deal with a pair of Ursa, or even an Ursa Minor, being face to face with an Ursa Major was something else entirely. It stood at a good 9 feet tall when on it's hind legs, jagged spikes covered it's back and for some odd reason it's right paw was encased the the white 'bone' like substance that some Grimm had. Lifting it's head up it sniffed the air, before looking to Cardin or more specifically the sap on his chest. It roared at Cardin, before he started to stamp towards him, as RDL fled! (2)

"That's a Big Ursa!" yelled Russal.

The Ursa hit Cardin to the side, showing Jaune who was behind Cardin and while Jaune was unleashing a large amount of fear. Even with the fear he was admitting the Ursa was uninterested him, when he had a much sweeter prize sitting not 10 feet away.

Location: Forever falls

Place: A few groves away

Time: Same time as with Jaune and Cardin.

The Roar of the Ursa alerted the others to the Grimm in the area as the other teams gathered what they had managed to take from the trees and prepared to leave, until three members of Team CRDL ran into them or Russel ran into the soils build of Yang.

"URSA! URSA!" yelled Russel

"Ursa!" yelled Yang grabbing him by his collar! Where?"

"A few groves east in a Clearing! It's got Cardin!" yelled Russel breaking free of Yang's grip.

Ruby's eyes Widened. "Jaune!" yelled Ruby.

Naruto turned to the people in the area. "BY, NR, and NJS, get to my mom and warn her what there are Ursa in the area! Pyrrha, Weiss, Ruby we're going to go and help them out!" said Naruto.

The foursome ran into the grove to see Jaune fighting the Ursa, or trying to as he was knocked onto his back! Jaune got up and glared at the Ursa as he charged again! Ruby, Weiss, and Pyrrha prepared to attack only to be stopped by Naruto.

"Why are you stopping us!" asked Pyrrha.

"This isn't just a fight. This is a man's pride. If we interfere we might as well kill him ourselves," said the Blond scared warrior.

Ruby looked at her 'brother' "But... Jaune could die!" yelled Ruby.

"Then if he dies he dies with his shield and sword," said Naruto closing his eyes.

Weiss looked at her fiance as if seeing him for the first time. She knew that Naruto had no problems being extreme if the situation called for it, but to hear those words leave his mouth. Even if Naruto had the best of intentions he sounded so cold when he said it. This was a far cry from the boy she knew as a child. (3)

Jaune glared at the Ursa as he went in for a slash only for the blade of his sword to snap in half as it connected with the bone paw! Jaune's eyes widened, before he was slung away by the Ursa. Rising to his feet Jaune looked as his shattered sword, before raising it high, ready to strike that the Ursa with everything he had. For a moment, even if it was short, the Ursa backed up a bit.

"What are you doing Jaune!" yelled Cardin.

"If I go out... Then I got out like the hero I was born to be!" said Jaune.

Naruto smirked, before taking a 'special' dust saber. "Hey Jaune!" yelled Naruto catching the boy's attention before throwing him a Dust saber.

Jaune dropped his sword and caught the saber in the air, before activating it and showing that the blade was about as long as his sword was before it shattered, the blade was white white and about 2 inches wide. The Ursa glared at the blade, before raising it's hand and swiping at Jaune, Jaune attacked back and managed to cut the hand of the Ursa off. Roaring in pain, the last thing the Ursa saw was Jaune hitting it with an upper slash, taking it's head. Jaune looked at the blade, before he deactivated it. He attached it to his belt as his shield collapsed. Jaune stared down at Cardin before helping him up.

"Holy crap Jaune," said Cardin shocked that the smaller warrior managed to defeat a Ursa Major in one on one combat.

"Don't EVER mess with my friends again Cardin," said Jaune with narrowed eyes.

Cardin nodded looking at Jaune with both respect and a bit of fear.

Jaune turned to leave and walked past Naruto and the others. His head held high as he could proudly say that today he was a Hero.

Location: Beacon

Place: Roof tops

Time: 1935

Jaune sat on the roof looking at his shattered sword and the hilt of the Dust saber that he needed to give back to Naruto. He turned his attention back to his own sword and sighed.

"You okay?" asked Ruby walking over and sitting next to Jaune.

"I'm fine. Just a few bumps and bruises," said Jaune touching his cheek. "Professor Stein said I should be better in a week,"

Ruby grabbed the blade and held it up. "I meant with your family sword?" asked Ruby.

"Oh," said Jaune. "I don't know how to feel about it. My Grandfather used that very sword in the great War. My father used it during his Time in the beacon Army. It's the sword of my family, but now... Its just scrap metal,"

Ruby put the sword back into it's sheathe, before getting up. "it can be fixed, just like any relationship," said Ruby.

Ruby and Jaune looked at each other, before they slowly leaned towards each other. Their lips were barely centimeters apart.

"JAUNE! RUBY!" yelled Naruto coming around the corner he looked at the two. "oh there you are. Are you two busy?"

Ruby and Jaune were sitting nearly arms length apart, both of their faces the color of Ruby's cape. both shuck their head as Naruto walked over to them. Naruto was sure that he had stopped something from happening. He had actually followed Ruby so that he could talk with Jaune himself. Normally 'cock-blocking' went against bro-code, but when the subject was his little sister figure, then all bets were off. He had a small smile on his face.

"Anyway. Ruby Yang was looking for you and I wanted to talk with Jaune," said Naruto.

Ruby got up, before before she left she leaned down and kissed Jaune on the cheek, before she ran off to see what Yang wanted.

Jaune stood up and looked Naruto dead in the eye. Even though he was about two inches taller, it felt like he was in the presence of his dad. Holding the hilt to Naruto. "Thanks for the loan, but I won't need it," said Jaune

Naruto shuck his head. "Keep the blade. You showed more then courage in that fight. You showed that your a warrior. You showed that you belong here at Beacon. You showed a man's Pride. That saber is yours Jaune," said Naruto holding out his hand.

Jaune grabbed Naruto's hand and shuck it. "Thank you Naruto," said Jaune.

"Oh one more thing," said Naruto, before punching Jaune in the gut doubling him over with a grin on his face. "Break Ruby's heart I break your spine Vomit Boy and that's if Qrow, Tai, and Yang don't get to you first,"

Jaune stood up slowly and looked at Naruto. "Got it," said Jaune with a smile of his own.

Jaune just knew that at that Moment he had Naruto's Trust and Friendship.

Location: Beacon

Place: Ozpin's office

time: 2300

Ozpin read over the report from Glynda over her supervisory Field trip into to Forever Falls. It seems that his choice to allow the only son of the Arc family into the academy was a sound one. A sound one indeed. Even using the transcripts of his Older sister.

"I wonder how things will progress from here?" asked Ozpin as he looked at the designs of the Dust sabers that sat before him.

0000000000000000000000

And cut. This chapter was pretty good chapter. So next chapter will take place around the time of the Blake reveal. I have plans, but they won't involve team RWBY or JNPR. I will say that that the next chapter will have more to Do with team NNJS though.

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I'll see you again soon. Oh the chapters of Club Rose, Succubus Protecter, and Purgatory are currently in development and will be finished soon.

A/N

1: Henry John is actually John Henry The Steel Driving man. It's a popular story and I actually really enjoy it. The easiest way to experince the story is just watch it on Youtube.

2: I know there's no such thing as a Ursa Minor, but I figured that the logical step to take between Ursa and Ursa major would be an Ursa Minor.

3:I know that was cold, but I needed to make that clear. In that moment in the series itself/ here The person in question Pyrrha and Naruto realized that Jaune needed this. They just went about it in different ways.
