Welp. Did not expect myself to be doing this quite so soon but uh… Welcome to Insomnia writing with Azatheauthor! Where a lack of sleep, or the ability to do so; promotes writing to try and tire oneself out. Before we get into what exactly this chapter entails, I would like to take a moment to confront and address a certain issue in the form of a review. Ahem.

Dougwell666, Chapter four, "You know Weiss would not have died from that fall right?".

Yes. Yes I do. Or rather, Not the CANNON fall; which did not have jaune struggle to climb the tree to catch her and slow her fall. Or the Nevermore climbing so high as to cause such a large drop. This is fanfiction, the absolute pinnacle of 'what if' scenarios. Please, for the sake of the story and your own enjoyment; don't compare this to the original material 1 for 1. Because changes will be made or else I might as well plagiarize the actual show; and no one wants that. Alas, tis just a small thing but this goes out to any other reviewer… suspend your nitpicking just a bit? How else will you enjoy the scenes I write for you?

Anyway, with that little 4am moan done and over with; let me address something real quick… IT HAS BEEN, TWO DAYS. AND THERE IS ALREADY 83 FOLLOWERS, AND 62 FAVES AT THE TIME OF WRITING THIS. Y'all gonna make me cry.

Now. Shall we?

READ THE DISCLAIMER

It had been a solid week since Naruto had spoken to team Rwby in his 'office', and strangely enough; He could happily say that he had not experienced such damn peace and quiet since he entered this damn world to begin with. The days had been rather slow, with no other students requiring his 'guidence', But that was ok for him. The first session he had ever truly given was… Well, as Glynda put it. Far too impersonal and informal. Not many other tutors hugged their students after all… "She couldn't hide the smile that came up on her lips when she told me off for that though, the big softy".

It made him glad to know that the act of showing affection for his students was not as weird as she was making it out to be. After all, With Iruka, Kakashi and Jiraiya as his examples, He was shocked he had gone the week without getting fired for some kind of inappropriate act of violence or otherwise.

Currently, the blonde was enjoying his time off from the office that had been dubbed Doc Uzu's clinic, by none other than Yang Xiao-long herself to boot. A form of revenge for playing on her temper? A playful show of forgiveness? Who was to say. What he could say was he never knew the sun could be so warm… Despite living in the land of fire, the sun in this world just felt brighter on the sunniest of days when compared to the heat of his homeland. He looked down at the frozen treat in his hand, a simple ice cream cone, smiling as he looked beyond it to see the students milling about…

He already realized he was showing off sides of Sakura, Kakashi and Sasuke within him when he agreed to open up his office to any student who needed him. From Sakura's want to help, Kakashi's need to prevent others from living his experiences and Sasuke's misguided sense of needing to protect others from threats only he understood; there was this growing sense of a need to be useful in his heart…

He thought back to the night after team RWBY's impromptu session. Ozpin had come to him with a question, a small, tiny question… Why did he mention the old world.

It was indeed, a question, that even Naruto did not know the answer to. Was he trying to ensure his loved ones went on to be understood and remembered? Was he trying to connect to them again through stories of their lives. Part of him didn't want to know… It was his choice, he made it.

With a heavy sigh, he kicked off the railing that he was standing on and let his body fall backwards; never once dropping his frozen treat as he let a number of vines catch and lower him to the ground behind the dorm rooms, giving a wave to one or two of the students who noticed him. "no need to hide my powers in a world where these unique skills come in all shapes and sizes eh…?". It was so freeing.

From a world of secrets, to a world of… freedom! Sure there Grimm to deal with but he had his own way of handling them. His mind flashed back to what ozpin had told him before; That the 'pure' Grimm he had managed to make back in the emerald forest had been found as rich and bountiful flowerbeds later that day.

Since then, He had made it a habit to send out clones in the night to help purify these bundles of everything wrong in nature; feeling all the better for it each time. Sometimes he would have to kill them, There was no stopping that… But the fact he had free reign to Choose was the blessing. Choice, something he was denied so much of in the past…

Choice over Kurama.

Choice over his Childhood.

Choice over Akatsuki.

Here he was free, and he Loved it.

"Good morning, Professor!". He blinked and smiled, offering a wave to the student that had greeted him. More greetings followed suit, and he returned them in kind as he walked in the direction his feat had chosen- Sage he loved that word. Here he barely felt a day over 18, despite his more advanced age in truth; not that it mattered. Why would it? He was as young at heart as he was in body.

"Good morning Doc!". He let out a chuckle as he finished up his frozen treat just in time to catch a ball thrown at him from afar, returning it with just enough force to land it in the chest of the one who had tossed it at him, Gaining a forceful "Oof" for his efforts. Ok. Maybe he was a bit older at heart. These kids… They had no idea how young they truly were. In the place of young adults, he saw Gennin and Students much like his own generation.

But that was musing for another time. He sighed at feeling his scroll buzz, snatching the device up and placing it to his ear as he began walking with a smile back towards the school. "Y'ello, You've reached Doc Uzu, Leave a message after the awkward pause". The silence that followed made Naruto blink a bit, even slowing in his walk.

"…Mr Uzumaki…?". He blinked… who was this. the voice sounded so timid, so small. So… hurt. He looked around and immediately began hurrying back to the school, back to his room where his gear was. "Yes, I am he, what's the matter miss…?". He continued to walk, nimbly dodging around students and then back around to his side of the dorms before a vine from the nearby tree worked to lift him up to his window. "W-Well you see um… M-My name is Velvet. Velvet Scarletina… I'm a second year".

He stopped midway of clipping his belt around his torso, scroll pinned to his ear. Second year… They weren't supposed to contact him. "sigh… Miss scarlatina, you know the rules as to contacting me. My services are for the new generation only, they need it more tha-"

"I'm being attacked by racists in this school every day and I'm afraid for my safety". He stopped… he frowned. He looked out the window and out to the still rising sun… being attacked for something outside of your control, now that he understood. "…Faunus?". He heard her breath hitch on the other side of the scroll and sighed. "I-If that's a problem, I can hang up-".

"No need miss…No Need Velvet. I can make an exception if you felt the need to come to me. However, As my office is in the New student's dorm room; I am going to need another place to come find you. Do you have somewhere in mind?". He heard the ruffling of clothes and hair on the other side and it took him far to long to realize the girl was so frazzled she had nodded to a phone call. "aaaand that would be…?".

"A-Ah sorry, Um; Would it be possible if we met down in Vale? It's my team's day off and I'd feel better not… Here, in beacon". Again, He understood just fine. He nodded and smiled, feeling his scroll buzz as he looked at it to see a dainty little coffee shop near foot of Beacon actually. A 5 minute Bullhead ride if anything. "I assume you're already there since the Photo says 'live' under it". The silence that followed was palpable, before he heard her mutter. He 'hm'ed?' and leaned in closer to the microphone.

"…They do really nice carrot cake…". He just chuckled. The girl hung up on him, before he could say he was on his way… and so he sighed. Of course he would be on his way. He had a soft spot for the Beastfolk of Remnant after all..

~{ANS}~

The journey down to the coffee shop, Aptly named Beacon Brew and Beans, or B3 as those he had asked for directions had told him; was not a hard one. He could definitely see the appeal of the small shop for himself; be it the outdoor garden around its left side or the balcony on its second floor. And on said balcony, he spotted her… twin twitching bunny ears. "Right. Carrot cake. Of course…".

With a smile he entered, giving a slight wave to the barista as he walked past her and upstairs to the balcony with a hum to his steps, surprised to see a second plate of said cake already waiting for him with a chilled glass of iced tea as well. The girl was sending looks towards him while trying not to make it to obvious, so he walked over and sat down with a calm pace so as not to draw attention to the girl.

"Velvet Scarletina I assume?". The girl, velvet, Nodded as she took her drink and sipped it with a shaking grasp. It did not take Naruto long to see that the girl had a worried look to her, constantly watching the street for some reason unbeknownst to him- wait. "Two signatures, 6 o'clock, Disgust and… 2 more, directly below us, Also disgust". The fact the feelings were directed at Velvet and not himself only served to set him further on edge.

With a faked stretch of the morning yawn Variety, He took in their faces as he arched his back and bent his neck. "Team CRDL". He had already been warned that their leader was offending the leader of team JNPR on a casual basis, but until reports were made or proof was given, he technically couldn't do anything to stop them. Technically. Glynda was always quick to stop him, but a henged clone with an eraser was quite painful if given enough time to aim.

It seemed however that the boy had not learnt his lesson. He looked over to her, seeing she too had spotted them and had frozen herself to the spot. That would not do. He placed his scroll down and smiled, typing away on it.

Oh Glynda? It seems Team CRDL is on the prowl again, harassing one of my students. If they have time to do that, they have time to get in some extra endurance practice with Miss Nikos today, Don't you agree? – Professor Uzumaki

Her reply didn't take too long to come back to him.

While I do not wish to address your casual dismissal of my requests to stay Professional in our correspondence, Professor Uzumaki; I do find myself Agreeing with you… I will be sure to Request them within the minute, I assure you. please do be gentle with the student in question… No RWBY situations – Professor Goodwitch.

That woman. She obviously knew how to play the game, applying disapproval, agreement and Disapproval in a sandwich to make it seem like she wasn't helping when she so obviously was. The woman was turning out more like Tsunade every chance they had to speak, and he did not want it any other way. Four simultaneous buzzes drew the flick of Velvet's ear, as did their groans and arguing of how unfair it was to be called in on their day off.

….he definitely did not focus on how much her smile reminded him of Hina's. "Thank you…". he smiled and shook his head, taking up a fork and dipping it into his treat as he motioned for her to speak. "No Miss Scarletina, Thank you for the cake… now. Go on. Tell me what's been troubling you".

And boy… did she tell.

And boy did he regret telling her to.

~{ANS}~

To say Naruto was PISSED was an understatement. The things Velvet had told him had lead his blood to boil, And his Sage chakra was currently working overtime to lead him to not pound the skulls in of anyone he felt showing signs of bigotry towards the young woman as he stormed up to the doors of the man he so wished to speak to.

BANG

BANG

BANG

BANG

"OZPIN, OPEN UP!". the sound of anger, such raw anger coming from Doc Uzu, had many students stopping both inside and outside the academy as the man's voice echoed out across the hallways. Poor velvet was living up to her namesake with the heavy blush across her face which only got deeper as the man in question opened his office door with a disapproving look. "Mr Uzumaki. If you are done acting like a barbarian, perhaps you and I can handle this peacefully-"

"NOPE!". In he went, dragging the bunny girl with him as he slammed the office door behind him and walked right up to the desk the old man used, slamming down a notebook on it before pointing at it expectantly. "Read. Have a look at what you and your faculty have been ignoring because of wanting to keep up a good image for your school". Of course, Ozpin knew nothing of the sort when it came to ignoring anything that could bring such a fury to light in the calm sage.

He turned his gaze to the student, a small whimper leaving her as she bowed her head and began muttering apologies… a sign that something indeed was wrong. "Miss velvet, have I ever put myself across as someone to apologize to if there Is a problem?". She blinked and looked up at him, shocking him that there was honest to brothers fear in her eyes. "H-huh? W-Well no sir but… But I was told not to bring this to you as it wasn't important enough to warrant your attention". Strike two. Whoever told her this was NOT speaking on his behalf.

He narrowed his eyes as he walked over to his desk to read from the notebook, not ignoring how Naruto went over to the girl and hugged her. Not like ruby, apologetic and gentle. But fierce. Protective. And she gave into it… as if relaxing for the first time in a long while. He saw her give in to the soft and gentle ministrations of Naruto's palm atop her scalp, and how he worked to avoid the girl's ears…

Ears he could now see had makeup on them to hide the bruising. "Shhh.. it's ok. We'll get to the bottom of this, I promise. It's not your fault, None of this is your fault". …second year huntsman in training or not, she was still just a child compared to the evils of the world. And as he turned his gaze towards the paper, He remembered just how close to home those evils could be.

Counciler's notes; Doctor .

He did not remember giving the boy that title… but he would let it slide.

Below lies a testimony from the lips of one Velvet Scarletina; Rabbit Faunus and Member of Team CFVY. Detailed in it are the actions of Team CRDL, made up of Cardin Winchester, Russel Thrush, Sky Lark and Dove Bronzewing. The Victim-

His eyes widened as he noted that Naruto had gone as far as to refer to Miss velvet as a victim in these notes.

-has stated to me that these four alone have been a cause for concern in the first week of term here at beacon academy with an onslaught of racist and overly offensive behavior; compiled of Non-consensual grasping of sensitive Faunus traits, I.e, Miss Scarletina's ears as well as a number of numerous other Faunus' Tails, horns, Ears and in one particularly shocking case, the hair of a lioness Faunus here on Beacon Grounds, of both second and first year generation.

The man sighed… Racism. And Hostile, borderline Assault on Faunus members was not anything new in today's world, what with the white fang around to ensure that the fear of the beastfolk species would lay heavy in the hearts of the hateful. Just as he turned to look his new employee in the eyes and explain how he could do no more than a slap on the wrist for a first week offence, he was caught off guard by the eerie green glow coming off those eyes…

…Maiden…?

Nonsense. Naruto was a man, Impossible to gain the power of one of his daughters. But the stare said it all. To not stop. to continue. He did so, and his heart went cold at what he read next.

When attempting to report the students in question to a member of Vale Police for their Racist and Borderline Offensive acts of Molestation of sensitive Faunus traits, Miss Scarletina was reportedly told to "Shut her screaming howler before a real man shows her what true racism looks like". She was then arrested for charges of disturbing the peace of vale and if not for her teammates, would have faced those charges in a court of her 'peers'. According to her research, Similar actions befell the affirmational Faunus victims above.

It is my belief that Team CRDL is either wrapped up in something they do not know of or, that they are being protected by someone with the money and the power to manipulate the VPD. My claims are backed up only by the provided photo of a note the victim had delivered to her dorm when alone, stating that "she should be a good bunny girl and take whatever the humans give her"… Frankly Ozpin?

The man turned to look at Naruto, seeing the notes were addressing him directly now. Ozpin did not need to hear the rest… he walked up to the two and gently placed a hand on Velvet's shoulder with a smile. "Miss velvet? I would like you to go find Professor Goodwitch and make sure she knows about this. she will help get you seen to by a nurse who can help all those nasty bruises…". The girl nodded, looking to Naruto who smiled and waved her out of the room… Not before getting a hug so tight from the girl that he thought his back would break, as well as a whispered, desperate "thank you".

As the girl ran off down the hallway, the door locking behind her… he turned with his smile gone, to what he was glad to see was an equally furious Ozpin. "Just say the word Oz, and I'll find them". He shook his head, walking back to the desk as Naruto grew angered at what he assumed was a dismissal. "and why not!?"

"Because any official backlash in defense of a Faunus would be seen as White fang Support. I cannot be Seen announcing a manhunt to find whoever is threatening my students, if our suspicion of political power is correct.". the anger dissipated as Naruto took in his words… and smirked.

Look between the inbetween…

Official backlash. Cannot be seen. Political power.

The blonde nodded, looking at his scroll with a sigh of frustration. "oh damnit. Would you look at the time? It seems I have further work to do in vale, I'm afraid I likely wont be back until tomorrow morning sir. Will you be needing me for anything until then?". The man shook his head, leading Naruto to open up the door to his office and begin to walk out.

"How Useful was Miss Rose in your new weapon, Professor Uzumaki?"

"….." Naruto just let off a small chuckle. One that would have made Kurama proud.

"Oh she was just perfect Oz… I look forward to it's upcoming test run".

~{ANS}~

Dun dun Duuuuuuun~ here we go readers, some actual action. I know some of you were likely getting bored of me just writing up therapy sessions, and without any of the bigger big bads around to pose a threat or challenge to our hero; I had to… Exaggerate poor Velvet's predicament. A figure in the shadows, an angry Naru and a blind eye from ozpin equal? One pissed Off Fox.

Now, for the fun part… lets have some guesses on what Naruto's weapon is shall we? Long range, non-explosive, works with his skills. There are your hints. NOW! Review fairly, Drink lots of water and remember to like and subscr- oh wait wrong website.
