Here is Chapter 3. I do apologize for the delay. I've been working and just recently got shifted to the graveyard shift at work so by the time I wanted to continue writing this chapter when I get home I'm exhausted. I'm going to try to work on the fic some more when I am able to but I'm not entirely sure when I would be to do so. That being said I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 3: Team and a Commander?

Coming out into a clearing after nearly an hour of walking we have Raven and Summer.

"Ohhhh! There's the temple we were supposed to find!" Summer excitedly pointed out before speeding on over to it.

Raven merely rolled her eyes and followed Summer to the temple.

"What about a rook?" Summer questioned her partner.

"The piece represents the strong and the indomitable? Very well," came Raven's short response.

The two young women noticed that some of the other pieces were gone, namely the black knights and a white bishop.

"Seems like other people made it here before us," Summer had pointed out.

Just as she had pointed out two individuals came out into the clearing who happened to be man she saw drinking, Qrow and the funny looking one, Taiyang.

Just as she had thought that, Taiyang sneezed while thinking, 'I wonder who was talking about me.'

The two men seemed to be running from something, which so happened to be a pack of Ursi being led by an alpha.

"What have you done know, Qrow?" Raven inquired of her drunken brother.

Qrow staggered to a stop before replying, "Nothing, outside of the usual."

Raven rolled her eyes already knowing that he most likely taunted them as he usually does with opponents, Human or Grimm. It was the one thing outside of his drinking habits that she despised about her brother, but there was not a whole lot she could do about it at this point, but she mused that may just be the one endearing part about Qrow.

Raven unsheathed her Ōdachi and charged at the pack of Ursi and cut two Ursi cleanly in half, before resuming her charge at the rest. As one of the Ursi got close to Raven's right without her noticing before a gunshot rang out and the Ursa collapse before dispelling into smoke. She glanced to the left to see the blonde male in a stance with smoke coming out of the barrel of one of his gauntlets.

"Can't let the lady get hurt now wouldn't we?" Taiyang playfully remarked before charging in towards the Ursi Pack and taking out a few Ursi.

Raven narrowed her eyes at what the blond said, but dismissed it before charging at the Alpha Ursi. The Alpha took to attempting to skewer her with its right claw but she dodge under it while cutting said claw off. As the Alpha reared back from the strike, Raven sheathed her Ōdachi before unsheathing it, this time the blade being a yellow representing Lightning Dust before she made use of her portal's to initiate an attack on the Alpha.

Back with the professor's

Naruto sat in his chair with his hands folded and arms resting on the small table. When he saw the younger Branwen use portal's he couldn't help but reminisce about that time he fought Haku during his first true mission.

'I guess anything is possible, but damn those portals and her strikes on the alpha look similar to Haku's Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals which led me to using Kurama's Youki for the first time,' Naruto pondered.

"Heh, of course. Then again you did think that damnable Uchiha was dead, but you are correct her portals do look similar to that jutsu. Thinking about taking a mate, Naruto?" Kurama told and teased the young man.

Naruto shook his head while burying his head in his hands trying to clear that thought. Though he couldn't help but wonder about settling down in the future, but not anytime soon though. He was still too young to be tied down dammit!

Naruto focused back on his scroll which just showed the younger Branwen finishing off the Alpha Ursa.

"Mmmm, I've made my decision on taking a team," Naruto mumbled to himself.

"You're taking on a team Naruto?" Murimaya inquired of the young professor.

"Yes, the Branwen siblings, Ms. Rose, and Mr. Xiao Long," Naruto replied, "I wasn't sure of it earlier but now I'm sure of it."

"Ah, I'm curious have you ever lead a team back at your home?" Murimaya curiously questioned.

"Yes, I have in fact. Though the members of the team I lead were... unique in their own ways," Naruto told the man.

"One of them had eye color's that you would think he'd be blind, another was a hyper energetic person wearing a green spandex suit, and another was well quite the weapon enthusiast," Naruto recalled back to when he worked with Team 9. Though this was after he came back from his "training" trip with Jiraya.

"Really? Well that had to have been an interesting time," Murimaya told him.

"Oh it was. Lee was pretty much a bottle rocket many times over. You'd have to pretty much chain him down sometimes when he really got going. Though it came as a general rule as to never let him have alcohol of any kind as just a sip of it gets him drunk and he gets pretty destructive as we found out once," Naruto recalled.

It took him and Neji nearly 15 minutes to get Lee to stop and that's only after Neji blocked Lee's tenketsu AND Naruto having to use a paralysis seal.

Murimaya chuckled at that. Which prompted Naruto to smile, he found a bit of a kindred spirit in Murimaya. Murimaya was a curious individual when it came to different cultures particularly the cultures Remnant has all but forgotten over time, so the man took the chance to ask Naruto about the Shinobi Senkai to which Naruto responded.

One of the questions was centered around the Grimm and if they showed up in his homeland. The blonde wasn't entirely sure if they have shown up but he knew that Gyūki and Isobu have kept a keen eye out on the seas. Murimaya had inquired abut the Bijuu but Naruto has been rather hesitant on the matter so the man had dropped it seeing the blonde's hesitance to which Naruto was grateful for.

A few hours later at the Team Grouping Assembly

"Raven Branwen, Summer Rose, Taiyang Xiao Long, and Qrow Branwen. You four have gathered the White Rook. Therefore you shall be known as Team STRQ. Lead by... Summer Rose!" Ozpin told everyone.

Summer stood there rather shocked that she was chosen to lead the team... her team. She quickly gathered herself and made a resolution to make the team as great as she possibly could.

"Now before you all leave the Auditorium each team will have a Professor who will be your Commander. Team STRQ your commander will be Professor Uzumaki, you will find him in room 126," Ozpin told the team.

'You've got a bit to handle there Naruto. One has a VERY twisted view on the world, another is her drunken brother, one is rather insecure about herself, and the final is one who tended to get pretty wild at his former school of Patch.'Ozpin mused to himself while drinking his coffee of which he needed to order some more of while watching the newly formed Team STRQ head out to the classroom's in search of their commander. Ozpin knew that Naruto can help this team and get them set on a path that helps them all for the better.

With Team STRQ

"I wonder what our commander will be like?" Summer wondered out loud.

"I don't know, but what I do know is he's the newest AND youngest of the professor's here at Beacon only being a few years older than us from what I've heard," Taiyang told his team leader.

Raven raised an eyebrow at that statement, now she wasn't all that interested in what he was like before but now well curiosity has crept up in her.

"There's also the fact that he's from the other land's to the west too," Qrow added in.

"Eh!? Really? Now I wanna find out what he's like," Taiyang said.

"Huh? What do you mean Qrow?" Summer inquired having no prior information on the "new" lands.

"You don't know? Hmm, best to say that they use a different source of power like us with aura and semblances but different. I've heard that they can wield elements like shooting fireballs out of their mouths or make a sweeping wave or shoot out earthen spears from the ground or even command the wind or lightning to their very wills," Taiyang informed her, "Though last I heard they had just gotten out of a terrible war. No one really knows much about it on this side of the world but some say that the dead were raised or that it encompassed their entire continent."

'War? Raised dead? Entire Continent? Just how far do they go to wage their wars over there or even the shear scale of the wars they wage? Nothing of the sort has ever been recorded in Remnant's history outside of the Great War but that was about 63 years ago. Granted that this continent had been completely separated from Remnant for who knows how long.'Raven thought, though most of what she heard certainly is just a bit far fetched mainly with the dead being raised.

"Wow, sounds rough. I wonder if our commander will tell us about it if we ask?" Summer told them.

"Yeah, I don't know about that other than it is worth a try." Taiyang replied.

It took a little while for them to reach classroom 126 mainly due to the size of the school.

The team entered the room to find their commander sitting at his desk with all sorts of things on it. They saw paper scrolls, weapons of all kinds and some bottles of ink. They arrived just as Naruto had took stock of what he had prepared and was about to seal in the scroll again before he looked up at seeing his team standing there.

"Oh you're here quicker than I thought you'd be," Naruto told them.

"Oh you thought it take us longer?" Qrow inquired.

"In all honesty? Yes I did given the size but it seems like you didn't get lost. So, generally this is where we are supposed to introduce ourselves to one another but you four appear to be dead on you're feet so I won't hold you any longer. Your dorm is room 340. Introductions will be done tomorrow," Naruto told them earning a sigh of relief from Taiyang.

"Seems like one of you is ready to go to bed," Naruto cheerfully told them understanding their pains.

With that being said Team STRQ began to head out of the classroom but not before Raven gave another glance to her team's commander.

He seemed strange and overly cheerful in her opinion but what she is wondering is his strength. What he's capable of.

'Sleep will do wonder's at this point I can try to figure out our commander's strength some other time,' Raven thought to herself.

"Seems like the one with the Ōdachi had found you a bit of a mystery Naruto," Kurama told his partner.

'Well you aren't wrong about that. Just about anyone over on this side of the world would find anyone of use from the Shinobi Senkai odd or strange.' Naruto thought back to his friend.

As soon as Raven disappeared from his sight. He placed his hand on the scroll and thought 'Fuin' sealing everything that was on his desk into the scroll.

And that's a wrap!

Sorry about the long duration between updates.

I've just been writing this in short spurts until today May 12th when I simply said to myself that I needed to get this chapter done. Well here we are! I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
