Yo!
So once again, this is going to be a light au to address a few reviews on the last chapter.
So first let's address what I feel is the easiest to in terms of something that was complained about, and I have been advised in private to address for the foreseeable future of this fiction. The "shirtless male In a child soldier academy" thing. All I'm gonna say is this. Naruto; a professor and member of staff, was In his pajamas In an all girl dorm room without "official" reason; which could have come across terribly under the wrong eyes. also, child soldiers... See, this is something I've laughed at when it comes to some reviews. In our world it's child soldiers, in Naruto and rwby? Combat academies are prestigious or High status academies, their age is only pulled into question when it comes to things they are not ready for or not prepared for/old enough for. So when Glynda, a strict and Borderline Overprotective vice-headmistress of said academy comes across something that could be both A) Scandalous towards the academy if the wrong people find out, which she would be doubly worried about in terms of Salem's agents using such a thing to smere the academy's and ozpin's reputation, and B) a general show of rather inappropriate behaviour from an adult to underage individuals... Yeah, any teacher worth their salt would clamp down on that. Asap. And may they lose their jobs If they don't even attempt to try and dissuade further stuff like that.
However. There is one more point that, as I said, was brought up to me in private by one of my friends. Naruto will NOT be participating in Lemons or Sexual activities with any Beacon, or otherwise, students. They are all underaged. He is a grown adult. Need I go further. And no that does not mean I am going to write lemons; simply that if I do, they won't be with characters that could have me put on a damn list.
That sadly means I have to reveal that most pairing options are out (that means any of team rwby, JNPR, CFVY) until a time in the story that Character ages are made legal. Or, Naruto's own age is decreased (you never know what fanfic bs I might pull with a relic or two, who knows). And even if a pairing is made, until they reach a legal age; no lemons or sexual activity. At, ALL.
Pairings WILL happen, just on their own time; This story DOES have one; i just dont want to reveal it ahead of time and ruin the surprise
Now.
In terms to the neo combat. Ahem.
...I know in the Naruto universe it's rather common for massive explosions and Jutsu. Or shows of strength. But in a residential area, in a city; in a kingdom, when he is trying to be stealthy/not stir up the nest (which he failed in doing); does it really sound like Naruto would use his full blown attacks after the 70 years of wisdom some flamers keep throwing at me? No. He wouldn't.
As to the actual point that I'll concede, about normal illusions; it is stated in the wiki that neo's copies are a physical manifestation. If this was Emerald, it would make sense, But Neo's are physical aura constructs Much like shadow clones. I wanted to use the irony of him being fooled somewhat, with his senses overwhelmed in the city and a semblance similar to his own justu being thrown at him.
Amendment to this: Those who feel Zetsu's clones would have been able to help naruto get used to fighting clones; He was sensing Their Negative emotions. Which was stated, he had to Lower his sensing in order to not be overwhelemed by the sheer amount of it in this world. Also; These copies are Just that. copies. fakes. Non sentient dolls. each zetsu was their own thinking thing. likely less to sense in the first place.
The main issue that the fight seems to show is some people expect it to be a show of godly naru Vs human, bang whap wollop boom kaboom. Residential area, respect for life from being a sage and a want to be stealthy/under the radar would go against all of that. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but that's how this story is going.
...as for *ahem*. Naruto having trouble against someone above a regular civie.. Neo is on par with White fang operatives and Canonically knocked Yang the fuck out a little later down the line (within the same year, a few months in fact). And even then she got Bodied. The only trouble was she caused the explosion that Put a stop to Naruto's plans through the police being alerted.
I know y'all wanna see True OP Naruto. And I promise it will come. But with time. I don't want to just throw godly sage mode at everything or else there's no tension and the story will drop in quality. With the main threats being this racism mystery, cardin and At best, Roman at this point in the cannon story; there is no real threat to draw that power out of Naruto yet. You saw him go out on the Grimm in earlier chapters, please do not think I have nerfed or underplayed the op stuff. The fact is he has to hold back where he is right now or risk ruining the new life he's trying to make for himself... So please. Patience.
As for the "cringe" part on the fuck the police... It's Naruto. Whether he's 13 or 70, he's gonna always have that cringe prankster side in him. (Remember the face paint)
I will be adding a chapter on after this and turning it into a full chapter soon! Just wanted to get this note out first in case others see the reviews left behind and get the wrong idea about the story.
