Announcement: I know I said Blaze Speedster would be updated next, but I'm having a little hard time with the chapter, so it's taking me a little longer to get it done, but it will get done soon. Sorry and thank you for your support and patience.

Chapter 4
Everyone sat on their seats, not knowing what to say or do with how the match had gone with a complete annihilation. Everyone was surprised, but teams RWBY, KNPR, Glynda, and Ozpin had smirks on their faces even if the latter two was harder to see, but it was good to see them four taken down off their high horses.
"Next time you feel the need to pick on someone. Remember this feeling as it will get worst for you if you pick on other students." Naruto warned as Cardin grumbled as he slowly picked himself up.
"Whatever. None of you is worth my time. Not even some joking around is worth hanging around you losers." Cardin claimed ignoring the aching of his body from the beatdown. He and his team limped away very slowly and carefully to avoid the glares of many of the spectators.
There was silence as Naruto decided to do one last thing to piss him off, he waved his hand that was behind him and sent a small gust of wind that sent him and his teammates rolling away. stepped out of the ring and walked over to the gob stopped expressions of Team KNPR (Not Kurotsuchi since she expected this outcome and was smirking at him and had a look in her eyes where he knew what she wanted) and members of team RWBY.
"Did you enjoy the show?" Naruto joked as he resisted outright laughing at their reactions. He smiled when he saw Ruby start to grin with Yang, Blake, and surprisingly Pyrrha were giving him similar looks that Kuro gave him, their eyes looking glazed over slightly.
Ren of all people decided to break the silence. He had a wide-eyed expression.
"That was…" Ren began just as Nora had a huge smile on her face as she glanced at Ren.
"Awesome!" Nora said grinning ear to ear as she bounced in her spot.
"Very impressive!" Ren finished just as Nora started to talk.
Nora gave Ren a pout as Ren sighed, already knowing what his friend would say.
"'Impressive'. How lame! 'Impressive' is for when you find a rare comic book. What Naruto did was awesome! I mean he didn't take any damage at all and made them look like toddlers!" Nora exclaimed as Ren sighed.
"It was very… awesome. I do not believe any of us could disagree." Pyrrha said after getting under control she gave Naruto a warm smile which he returned.
"I think when I speak for everyone that what you did was quite something to see, but what I'm wanting to know is how did you move so fast? No one saw you move." Blake was very curious and was happy to see Cardin and his team get what was coming to them.
"That's something of a secret, can't go revealing something like that now can I?" Naruto joked, making her pout, her bow twitching when he saw her ears flatten a little at being told no and chuckled. He rubbed her head which made her blush, but liked how warm his hands felt while Kuro smiled at the interaction while others were jealous except for Nora who was grinning.
"It had to have something to do with those weird looking kunai that were everywhere, but what I don't get is what makes them special." Weiss said, wanting to take a look, but would ask about it later.
"You just used Taijutsu along with the Hiraishin. I doubt you would've used it if he hadn't made that comment huh, love?" Kuro asked, getting a grin from him.
"Hey, no one makes those kinds of comments about those I care about. I figured the Hiraishin would be perfect to humiliate him or I could've put him under a Genjutsu using the Tsukuyomi hehe." Naruto chuckled at the mental torture he could've done to the bastard while the others with the exception of Kuro looked at him weirdly and took a step back from him.
"And that's going to be my teacher starting tomorrow." Ruby had stars in her eyes.
"Teacher?" Pyrrha asked intrigued/curious.
"Yeah. Ruby here asked to be trained in hand to hand, but she also is using it as an excuse to get close to him. I'm so proud of my little sister~" Yang teased, making Ruby blush while the others chuckled.
"Yang!" Ruby pounced on her back as she started hitting her, but didn't stop her sister from further teasing her.
Coco and her teammates walked up to the blonde wanting to congratulate him on his win while Velvet had an excited look about her that Naruto found looked cute on her.
'What a perfect package. Handsome, strong, kind, and probably great in the sac to boot. If what I've heard is true and he's engaged, maybe I can ask his fiance about it.' Coco thought rather lustfully as the fight and how outclassed the other team was getting her a bit aroused if she was willing to admit the truth.
'Wow! Naruto is very strong! He didn't even have to try at all!' Velvet thought with stars in her eyes.
'I know that look that Coco has, but I can't blame her with how he fought, it was simply amazing and felt nice being fought for.' Velvet thought with a red face as Coco gave her a smirk as she sputtered and shook her hands.
Her two male teammates congratulated Naruto who sent them a grin and asked if they could spar sometime which he agreed with always looking.
"Hey Velvet. If those guys ever give you a hard time or anything feel free to tell me. I hate bigots. You seem way too nice and cute to be picked on." Naruto told Velvet who turned red again.
'He thinks I am cute?' Velvet thought as her ears steamed.
"I will Naruto. Thank you for your concern." Velvet squeaked as she looked around the room in embarrassment.
Before anyone could stop her, she gave Naruto a quick but warm hug much to everyone's surprise.
"Um thank you! Bye!" Velvet said rapidly before she ran off much to her teammates' amusement who followed her.
Coco stopped and gave Naruto a wink as she sauntered up to him and the others.
"Hey handsome. The name Coco. Velvet's teammate." Coco introduced herself much to Yang and Ruby's annoyance when she crossed her arms to intentionally make her bust seem more prominent.
"Hey Coco. Glad to see Velvet has a good teammate to look out for her." Naruto said back as Coco's grin grew bigger while Yang's eyes widened before she giggled to herself.
"Now that that's out of the way, let's get to know each other." Coco said as she put her right arm around Naruto's left arm as they went to go back to the dorms. "First off, Naruto. What do you think about fashion?"
"I know a little bit, but I do hope I made an impression.." Naruto replied with a grin with Coco matching it.
"Oh, I wouldn't mind showing you a few things~" Coco purred, liking what she was seeing so far. If you ever need anything feel free to give me a call. I do owe you one for Velvet's sake." Coco offered batting her eyes much to Naruto's amusement with Kuro giggling already liking this woman.
"Sure. I will give you a call if anything comes up." Naruto said with a smile as he put his scroll up to get Coco contact information and for her to get his. Kuro appeared with a grin as she rather liked Coco and her flirting was fun to her.
"Names Kurotsuchi, but call me Kuro for short and I'm his fiance." Kuro introduced herself with a grin.
"Awe so you're the fiancé I've been hearing about. You got yourself a good one here, but you ever thought about sharing that godlike being of a person~" Coco asked sultry, much to everyone's surprise, Kuro giggled at her words as she looped an arm around her shoulder.
"See you later Naruto." Kuro said in a sultry tone as she walked away with Coco who gave a slight movement to her hips, being well aware that Naruto with Yang, and surprisingly Blake (though she made sure no one noticed) were watching her movements.
Their respective teams followed them with team RWBY leaving as well despite Ruby wanting to talk to her soon to be teacher when Ozpin and Glynda approached him with smiles on them.
"That was quite the match Naruto, you've certainly gotten better over the years." Ozpin took a sip from his coffee.
"I do hope that Mr. Winchester learns from this experience and that he won't be picking on students anymore. You did very well against them, if I may ask, what was that technique you used on him with the kunai? I've never seen anything like it before." Glynda praised curiously.
"I hope he learns as well, we don't need bullies or bigots in this school and what I used was called the Hiraishin or Flying Thunder God in English. It's a space-time technique that allows a person to teleport with the help of this." Naruto brought one of the tri-pronged kunai's out to show. "You see this writing here, it's the formula for the technique that has my matrix for it. With them being on the kunai, they act as beacons when it's thrown or stabbed into the ground. I can even mark a person with it if I ever need to teleport to someone instantly or in an emergency." He explained, getting looks from them.
"Space-time seals? Those types are dangerous and very hard to do, but how'd you come up with the idea of this?" Ozpin asked.
"I didn't. I merely recreated it. I'm the third person who is able to use it with the other two being the Second Hokage who created it and my father Minato Namikaze Senju who only improved it and I did the same thing." Naruto said.
"Impressive. After your match, I'm positive in my decision and now have something to ask you. How would you like to teach a combat class, specifically in hand to hand combat?" The headmaster asked, catching him off guard with the question.
"Me? Not that I'm against it or anything, but why me when there are others that would be just as qualified?" Naruto asked.
"For one, you're already here as a student, so it would be easier on our part. Two, you have more experience than most huntsmen and we believe this is something that could really benefit the students if they were to ever find themselves without their weapons." Glynda explained the reasons to him as he nodded, making sense to him.
They wouldn't have their weapons all the time and if they ever found themselves without them, they wouldn't be completely helpless and could still defend themselves. They would be able to protect themselves better and he did have experience from his years as a Shinobi. That could work for him.
"I'll do it. I have a question of my own that I want to ask, but can we do this in your office?" Naruto asked, getting nods, but were wondering why he wanted to ask in Ozpin's office.
It didn't take them long to get there, but passed several students, Teams RWBY and KNPR who looked at Naruto in confusion, wondering what he's doing with them if something happened and would've followed if Kurotsuchi hadn't stopped them and shook her head. Once they got there, Ozpin sat behind his desk with Glynda standing next to him on his right.
"Now, what is it you wanted to ask with wanting only us to hear?" Ozpin asked as he took another sip of his coffee.
"Well, it's something that I've been sensing the last couple of days." Naruto stated, having their attention.
"And what did you pick up from this?" Ozpin asked.
"It's something I've come across before, but now it doesn't feel completely… whole, almost like it's been split in half." Naruto said, which made them a little nervous as they were starting to get an idea to what he's referring too.
"Did you get a location on this energy?" Glynda asked in slight nervousness, but also impressed that he could pick all this up just from his sensory skills.
"It came from down below us and I only know one person who has this particular energy signature since she's one of four, so my question is, what happened to Amber and why do her powers feel split up?" Naruto asked dangerously, wanting to know what happened to one of his friends.
They looked at each other for a brief moment trying to decide how handle this as how informed Naruto was of the few who was aware of the war against Salem and the Maidens from his time in their world when he was 12-13 years old. In the end they sighed, knowing that he had a right to know and might even be able to help her with his powers.
"She was attacked several months ago by an unknown group who we believe is in league with Salem. They were able to steal half of her maiden powers and has been in a coma ever since." Ozpin said as the air suddenly got much harder to breathe as a dark blue aura surrounded him with his eyes changing to red slits from their usual blue.
"I see. May I see her? I can try to help, giving my knowledge in seals and with my Rinnegan, which could be useful too." Naruto stated calmly trying to keep his anger under control.
"I don't see why not. If you can get her to wake up that would be good." Glynda said with a hopeful tone with Ozpin agreeing as they led him to an elevator in the office that would take them to their destination.
When they arrived at the bottom, it was a long hallway that seemed to lead to a specific room. He was correct in his assumptions because when Ozpin led him through the hallway, they came across what looked like two pods with one being online with the noises it was making.
He saw that there was someone in it and he sighed having his fears confirmed. Amber was a beauty. She had a light brown complexion, with shoulder-length, straight brown hair. She had a beauty mark below her left eye. She wore an off-white blouse with a brown vest that confined her low c-cup chest, corset and pants that accentuated her hips.
"So she's been in a coma for months now, right? My Rinnegan might be able to do something, but for now, I want to see if I can try talking to her in her mind." Naruto said, getting nods from them as he put his hand on the glass and it wasn't long before he felt himself get pulled.
When he opened his eyes again, everything was dark, barely any light for him to see. This is what Amber's mind was like right now? It was concerning for him to see this, but for now, he needed to find her so he closed his eyes again to sense her aura and the second he got a lock on it, he sped off towards her.
When he found her, she was waiting for him, almost as if she knew he was here and she was giving him a smile that she often gave him when they traveled together. The second that he was in range, she blurred in front of him and nearly tackled him in a bone crushing hug and the next thing he felt his shirt getting damped when he noticed she was now sobbing into him.
"Amber?" He asked softly, hearing her name, she looked into those blue eyes of his and she trembled in his grasp and held onto him tighter as if he'd disappear if she let go.
Naruto didn't like seeing her like this and was so vulnerable. He had to, no needed to find out who did this to her and when he found them… Well they'll never find the bodies.
Once she managed to calm down, she still held onto him, but she was now feeling better than before having been able to finally see someone and someone that she knew for that matter and trusted. She gave him a once over and rather liked what she was seeing and felt.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there to stop whoever it was that took your maiden powers. If only I got here sooner, I could've stopped it from ever happ-" He was cut off when Amber silenced him with a finger on his lips.
"It wasn't your fault. No one could've seen it coming and you were in your world at the time, so drop the blame on yourself." Amber told him sternly, yet softly.
He nodded his head, knowing she had a point, but still wished he could've been there to help. Her beautiful brown eyes didn't help anything as he felt butterflies in his stomach. Damn it, it's like when they were together all over again. She could make him feel like a gibbering mess and she doesn't do anything!
"Do you know who it was that stole your powers from you and how they managed to do it?" He asked her.
"No, but I can give you descriptions on what they looked like and what they could do when they fought me." Amber said as he nodded and explained to him what she could remember.
"I understand, but I'll find a way to get you out of this coma. I promise you Amber." Naruto said with conviction.
She smiled and had a small blush on her cheeks at his words, knowing he would keep his promise to her, like he always did.
"Thank you. I'm just glad that you're here. I have so much I want to catch up with you, but I want to wait on that for when you get me out of this." Amber said.
"I'll do my best and I can't wait to do that. It's been years after all and I bet you have some interesting stories which I can't wait to hear. I'll try to visit you while I'm attending Beacon." Naruto said, to her delight she nodded and he smiled.
She gave him one more hug and told him to hurry since he shouldn't keep a girl waiting. That made him laugh as he nodded and began to disappear until it was just her again and she sighed blissfully, knowing that she was in good hands with him being here now.
He opened his eyes in the real world and felt relieved that she was doing okay, despite the current situation she was in.
"So how'd it go? Were you able to speak with her?" Ozpin asked.
Naruto looked at him and nodded. "I was. She's doing okay from what I could tell and she gave me descriptions on who attacked her. We may not have names, but we have faces and what they're capable of." He said to the headmaster who smiled at him.
"Now that we know I can contact her in her mindscape, I can work on how to revive her and for her to keep her powers without them going whoever attacked Amber. Give me a week to have an answer and than I can make preparations." Naruto said to him.
"Good, we can start making preparations should the time come when we encounter them." Ozpin said, but Naruto shook his head.
"I agree, but let me deal with them. This is personal for me as they went after MY friend who I care about greatly and nearly killed her." He said, walking off, not seeing Ozpin give him a small chuckle before looking back at Amber.
"You're very lucky to have someone like that who cares about you so much. I hope we'll see you soon Amber with us and not stuck in this machine." Ozpin said before leaving himself.

It was Saturday morning now and Naruto was now getting everything together for what he'd have planned for Ruby. He had the perfect style for her to use and even maybe a secondary weapon with what he has in mind could work great. He had two storage scrolls that would help her in training with what he has planned.
He had just finished making some breakfast which consisted of eggs, toast, and some orange juice. He checked the time and saw it was 6:30 which meant he still had half an hour to get Ruby and then the training ground that he had procured for them until around noon.
Once it was five till, he made his way out of his dorm, made sure to lock it before heading to get Ruby who should be waiting for him. He sent her a text, telling her to be ready, but he smiled at seeing her just leaving her dorm herself. She wore different clothes instead of her black blouse and corset, but still had the cloak on. Instead she was wearing black tank top with black leggings with red stripes going down her legs. He could really see the leggings made her hips stand out a bit more. She looked ready to train even if she looked tired still.
"Morning Naruto." Ruby yawned, but waved at him with a chirp.
"Morning yourself Ruby, ready to go?" Naruto asked, getting a nod from the scythe wielder who followed after him and was excited to learn from him.
They made it to the designated training grounds as Naruto set down the storage scrolls that he had with him, unfurled them and pushed chakra through them when the items appeared and she was wondering why he had those and what for. He beckoned for her to sit down as he sat cross-legged with her following his lead and doing the same.
"So, what will be the first thing you'll be teaching me, will I be able to do what you did against Cardin yesterday?! It was so awesome what you did! I could barely keep up with you, especially when you started disappearing all over the place! How'd you do that?!" Ruby asked excitedly and got starry eyed as she was vibrating in her spot which made him chuckle at her eagerness.
"First, we won't be doing anything like what you saw yesterday….Yet. I will be teaching you a specific style that will involve kunai knives like the ones I used, but not yet. I want to get the basics down first before doing anything more advanced. And for the style, you'll need to be faster WITHOUT having to use your semblance to increase your speeds." Naruto said, getting a look of confusion from her.
"But how will I get faster if I don't have my semblance?" She asked, her face scrunching up in thought, which Naruto thought was adorable on her.
He picked up the weights and held them out for her to see. "These are called gravity seals that when wearing on your wrists and ankles that can be activated by chakra. They have a setting from 1 all the way to 20 with one being the lightest and 20 being the heaviest. These will build up your strength and speed. We'll be starting with level 1 before anything else, so you can adjust to the idea of having them on." Naruto said, with Ruby being in awe at the weights and what they are capable of.
"Oh wow, these are so cool. What level are you at?" Ruby had to ask.
"13 right now. I'm probably going to increase them soon seeing how I'm able to move around normally without trouble. That's the point of them, when you have adjusted where you don't even feel the weight, the weight will increase to keep you on your toes, so you don't get too relaxed." He told her.
"But what about when my team goes on missions? I don't want to be a burden if I'm slowed down because of them." Ruby said in some worry, not wanting to be useless to her team, especially as team leader.
"You won't have to worry about that happening. When you're on missions, just make sure you come to me before, so I can turn them off. Wouldn't want anything happening while on missions. That's the only time I want you not having them on, otherwise they'll be active." She nodded in understanding with a relief seen in her posture.
"Good. I was worried for a moment there. I'm ready, let's do this." She said, determination in her tone.
"Let's get started." Naruto said with a grin that showed nothing, but teeth and made her gulp nervously.
/
Ruby came back to her dorm completely exhausted and sore from her training with Naruto and she had to say one thing about it. IT. WAS .HELL. Naruto had really run her ragged with not just the weights, but the exercises that he had her do. She did a lot of push-ups and sit-ups which was the easiest part, but he had her dodging kunai that he would throw at her to get accustomed to the resistance seals. Luckily for her, he used blunt kunai so she wouldn't be too hurt from them. That was just in three hours! The rest was Naruto going over the basics of CQC for her to have a base before going into the style. He promised her once she had that down, would he introduce the fighting style to her which she was told would be after a couple more sessions.
It was now 12:00 and she was starving for food, she kicked her door open without any care of who was there or what was going on. She just wanted some food and than take a nap for a few hours. She hadn't felt this sore ever, even when her Uncle Qrow had taken her under his wing. Naruto was a slaver driver through and through.
Her teammates were in the room and grimaced at seeing her bruises and how exhausted she looked. It was something all right for them to see.
"Sis, what the hell happened to you?" Yang asked, first one to snap out of her shock.
"Training." She said before slumping down into her bed with a blissful sigh.
"What exactly did Naruto do to get you like this?" Weiss asked with surprise, clear in her tone.
"Yeah, I have to agree with her on this one, you look like you got trampled by a pack of Beowulf's." Blake commented with some concern for her leader.
"Let's just say that he's not holding back and pushing me to my limits. Right now, he's focusing on building up my strength and speed without using my semblance. He added something called resistance seals that will make my body heavier that have 20 levels from what he told me." Ruby explained.
"Isn't he going too far, I mean it's only the first day, right?" Yang asked, worried for her sister's safety.
"I'm fine Yang and I'm glad he's pushing me like this." Ruby said, confusing them, especially her sister. She saw the looks and elaborated. "All my life, I've been treated like glass or that I'll break at any time and I'm tired of feeling like that. You and dad never let me do anything or when offered training of some sort, you'd say no or that I'd get hurt. Well, I'm sick of it. You can't keep treating me like I'm 5 years old anymore and let me do something for myself instead of you and dad, telling me what I can or can't do. I'm going through with this because I want to." Ruby ended her rant as she finally expressed how she had been feeling for years now. She loved her sister and dad, but they could be too much with how much they'd fuss over her, like she was helpless.
Yang didn't say anything, being at a loss of words. Blake and Weiss didn't know what to say either, since this now seemed like a family affair.
"So, where's Naruto at?" Blake asked, wanting to change the subject which they were glad for.
"I think he's still out there. He said he was going to do some meditating when I left." Ruby told her.
"Come on, we should make sure that he doesn't go overboard. He seems like someone that would go too far in his training." Weiss said as she and Blake left, leaving the two sisters to themselves.
Ruby told them where Naruto would be, but if he wasn't there then he would be at his dorm, which they were thankful since now they wouldn't have to look everywhere for him and could go straight to the one he's at.
They made it to the designated training ground and found he wasn't there which meant he was at his room now, must've finished his workout. They sighed knowing they'd have to walk back, but at least they had an idea where he'd be at least.
When they got back to the dorms, they went to Naruto's to go check on him. They knocked on the door and waited for a moment when it opened and their jaws dropped at what they saw.
"Oh..." Weiss started as her jaw dropped and her eyes widened. She couldn't believe her eyes, because in front of her was something she had only imagined in her dreams, after she'd seen him train once before without his shirt on.
"My..." Blake said afterwards, unknowingly continuing for the slack jawed Weiss. She wasn't in any better of a position though. Her ears were standing straight up, and her pupils had narrowed into the smallest of slits. She was drooling a little over the front of her clothes, between her cleavage, and her eyes were nearly sparkling.
"God..." They finished off with a whisper without realizing they were saying the same thing at the same time. They would need to sit down, because they were pushed into a state of blissful shock at what they were seeing.
Naruto was with only shorts and it was very short, so that it might as well be showing all of his legs. His hair was still partially wet from the shower he had, dampening it. They could see all of the scars that were on littered on his body from his life as a Shinobi.
"Just what kind of hell has been through? Though, they make him look more roguish and handsome." Blake thought with a small smile and blush.
"I shouldn't be surprised from what I've heard about the Shinobi life, it wasn't easy and quite terrifying to fight other people when Grimm didn't exist in their world, but he is very nice to look at." She thought before shaking those thoughts out. "No bad Weiss, no traitorous thoughts." She admonished herself.
"I think they're broken Naruto-kun. They appear to be enjoying the view." Matatabi purred, making him sputter as he realized he had no clothes on except shorts.
"Not the time Matatabi." Naruto's right eye twitched at her words unaware of the thoughts going through the girls minds.
"I want to eat fish off his abs and even lick off it." Blake thought to herself as she just lovingly stared at his body, and lustfully stared at it, trying to keep blood from gushing out of her nose, but couldn't help, but lick her lips still. She could see his well toned body, his strong arms, chest with a six pack, and was that his..." She trailed off as her blush intensified and was nearly about to pass out.
"You could grind meat on those abs and the water dripping on him just makes him so much more -" Weiss stopped her thoughts as she was blushing heavily by this point.
"Can I help you guys?" He asked, snapping them out of their haze, but couldn't stop the blushes.
Neither knew what to say at this point, so they did the only thing they could ... .They ran into their dorm, making him chuckle before closing the door.
The door slammed once they got into their room and couldn't stop their hearts from beating so fast. They hadn't realized that Ruby and Yang were there, having been startled by the door slamming.
"What the hell happened to you two?" Yang asked the duo.
They didn't answer, but had her question was answered nonetheless. Weiss had a small smile with her cheeks red and Blake had a grin on her face and some drool that escaped her lips. This weirded Ruby out with some concern for her teammates and Yang well, she whistled.
"You two must've seen something good if you're reacting like this. Mind filling us in, if you can speak since you seem to be struggling on that matter?" Yang couldn't help the grin on her face as the others blushed more, but this time out of embarrassment.
"Hmph, nothing you need to worry about or need to know. I have some homework I need to do, so if you'll excuse me." Weiss departed, leaving three left with Blake looking everywhere, but at the sisters.
"Blake, what happened?" Ruby asked this time.
The Cat Faunus gulped nervously, but knew it would be better if she just told them and be done with it.
"We went to the training grounds to look for Naruto, but he wasn't there, so we checked at his dorm, which is where he was." Blake said.
"And? Why was your face red?" Ruby asked, confused and clueless, no idea what had occurred and being more dense in that regard.
"We did see him when he opened the door, but he was only wearing shorts, whichexposedtherestofhisbodyforustosee." Blake said, answering at the end very quickly.
"What was that?" Yang's grin grew, loving seeing her partner squirm and being teased about this.
She took a breath before she repeated what she said which this time was heard much clearer by them.
"How was he? You got an eye full of him after all, I'm a little jealous of you for getting that." Yang said. Her teammate was lucky she got to see him with almost no clothes on.
"I don't get it." Ruby said, getting sighs and chuckles from them.
"You'll learn when you're a little older, but even you should get what she's talking about sis." Yang told her sister, who nodded, but then went stiff when she thought about it and her face went red.
Blake got a lot of teasing from her partner the rest of the day, but was jealous that she got to see him up close like that, something that the Faunus took while smirking when she heard this.
/
Naruto, RWBY, KNPR, and Velvet watched as the hyperactive teacher zip around while teaching and sipping coffee from his mug.
The teacher in question is Bartholomew Oobleck, a tall man with messy green hair, brown eyes with opaque-looking glasses, fair skin, and wearing disheveled attire with his white shirt with a raised collar partially tucked into his dark green pants, a slack yellow tie, and mismatched brown and black shoes.
Taking his eyes off Bartholomew for a second to prevent himself from getting dizzy just from watching him while he lectured, Naruto looked around the classroom, seeing Velvet, whom he's sitting next too, taking notes; Cardin leaning back on his chair right behind him; Weiss, Blake, and Pyrrha paying attention, Yang and Ruby quite…dizzy-eyed and confused at the same time. Shaking his head in amusement, Naruto turned his attention back to the teacher.
"This is prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution, more popularly known as the Faunus War! *zip* Humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing the faunus population in Menagerie. *zip* *sip* *zip* Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you *zip*, it is imperative to remember *zip* that these are relatively recent events! *zip* Why, the repercussions of the uprising *zip* can still be seen to this day! *zip* *sip* Now! *zip* Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your faunus heritage?"
Some of the students raised their hands, Naruto too including Velvet after a moment. Naruto shot a quick look at Blake who didn't raise her hand and sighed.
"Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence! *sip* I mean, I mean, I mean just look at what happened to White Fang! *zip* Now, which one of you young scallions can tell me what many theorize to be the turning point *zip* in the third year of the War?" Bartholomew questioned the class, and saw Weiss raise her hand. "Yes?"
"The Battle at Fort Castle!" Weiss answered confidently, and was pleased when Bartholomew nodded.
"Precisely!" Bartholomew responded, who zipped back to desk during the answer. "And, who can tell me the advantage the faunus had over General Lagune's forces?"
Cardin snorted thinking no stinking faunus could ever have an advantage over a human.
"Cardin! Perhaps you would care to share your thoughts on the subject!" Bartholomew asked, hearing his snort.
"Well, I know it's a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier." Cardin replied with a hint of malice as he looked at Velvet when he said it making her look down in sadness, much to the disapproval of Bartholomew who shook his head, as Naruto wrapped his arm around the miserable Velvet in comfort, and Blake leveled Cardin with a glare.
"You're not the most open-minded of individuals, are you, Cardin?" Pyrrha questioned while looking at him with mock pity.
"What do you expect, he's a dumbass that doesn't use his head after all." Naruto mocked with a smirk on his face.
"What was that?" Cardin snapped in a threatening tone.
"The sound of me having the answer." Pyrrha retorted and answered the teacher's question. "It's night vision. Many faunus are known to have nearly-perfect sight in the dark."
"It helps when they sent scouts to map out the terrain so they could know where to hit the general's troops where it hurts. As a bonus, some faunus like bird-type faunus can see from a long distance, and coupled with the night-vision, the troops didn't stand a chance. Then again, this is basic knowledge that we all should know." Naruto said, turning to Cardin and smirking.
"I'll bet he only passed his previous academy was so that the teachers could be rid of him." Kurotsuchi said from her seat, looking directly at the bully.
Cardin growled and nearly got up at that.
"General Lagune was inexperienced, and made the mistake of trying to ambush the faunus in their sleep. His massive army was outmatched, and the general was captured." Blake added on to the answer and also turned to Cardin. "Perhaps if he'd paid attention in class like a certain someone I'm looking at, he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure."
Seething, Cardin finally got up with his fist clenched, looking to deal out some pain on the ones who humiliated him, but changed to paling when he saw Nartuto pull out one of his tri-pronged kunai.
"Mr. Winchester! Please take your seat." Bartholomew commanded. "Afterwards you can see me after class for additional readings." Cardin groaned and took his seat.
"Now, moving on!" Oobleck declared and zoomed away.

Class had been interesting to say the least. He got to embarrass Cardin which was a bonus and one of the teachers that actually cared about Faunus'. He had comforted Velvet to not let what Cardin says get to her and to just ignore him. In the off chance though he tried something, he gave her one of his kunai and told her what it could do should she ever need him. She thanked him with a hug and a kiss on the cheek before running off after realizing what she did from embarrassment. Now he was at lunch with his friends while he was using a notebook to write down all the abilities that the Rinnegan had since that was his best bet at saving Amber from death.
"What are you working on?" Pyrrha asked.
Naruto saw that the others were also curious with everyone looking at him.
"I'm just going over some things for Professor Ozpin. It's something I can't really discuss being confidential and all." He lied to them.
"Oh he asked you something super secret?" Ruby asked, her eyes sparkling.
"Yes. Let's just say that it's something very important and leave it at that please." Naruto said, pleading a little.
They saw the look on his face and were even more curious, but knew when to stop. For now that is.
"Alright, alright. Are you guys excited for the field trip coming up in a few days?" Pyrrha changed the subject.
"Yes I am! It's going to be so fun and with all of us going, it'll be a good time!" Nora excitedly said with a grin.
Naruto took the time to put away his notes quickly, that no one except for a few people who saw it and wondered what was so important that he couldn't tell them. Kuro had an idea as it must involve Amber after he spoke with him regarding her. Weiss, Pyrrha, Blake, and Yang surprisingly were going to ask more about it later when it's just them after they looked at each other with silent agreements. They continued chatting about various things with Naruto adding every so often.

...Three days later; in Forever Fall forest...
Forever Fall, a forest bustling with red leaves and gray trunks, and the sight where the first-years teams like KNPR, RWBY, and CRDL among others along with Naruto, are taking a field trip, with Glynda Goodwitch as their chaperone.
"Yes, students, the forest of Forever Fall is indeed beautiful. But we are not here to sightsee. 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." Glynda said to the teams.
The group stops with Cardin carrying a large case with six empty glass jars on top, he is smiling smugly with his team, Naruto who sees this scowled at the them.
"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." Glynda instructed with a smile. "Have fun!"
"What with the box of jars?" Ren asked as Kuro set them down with Blake looking over her shoulder. "You heard Professor Goodwitch. We need one each."
"Come on guys, let's go!" Cardin said as he and his team walked away without realizing that they had been tagged by him.
A while later everyone was doing their part in collecting sap from the nearby trees. It was a tedious task when trying to find the trees' sweet spot where lots of its sap was stored within. Weiss was about to stab a tree with her Myrtenaster when Ruby stopped her and handed her a knife.
"Using a knife is more practical and would prevent your rapier from getting all sticky." Ruby said.
"Thanks. Wouldn't want my prized weapon to become like a honey spoon. Where'd you get the knife though?" Weiss smiled.
"Naruto gave me one of his kunai to use, knowing we'd need them to cut into the trees." Ruby grinned with Weiss thanking the blonde mentally for making things easier..
Yang on the other hand sliced into a tree that spurted out sap and sprayed Blake all over making the hidden cat faunus less than amused.
"HAHA! You got sprayed by all the tree's sticky juices!" Yang laughed.
"You're so funny." Blake deadpanned with a tick mark on her head wiping herself off.
"I know I am!" Yang snickered.
Ren sighed seeing Nora eat all the sap from their jars as it was caked all over her cheeks and mouth as the hyperactive huntress-in-training giggled.
"Nora we won't be able to pass if you eat all the sap." Ren said, shaking his head.
"But Ren, the sap is so tasty and sweet! How can you not want to eat it!" Nora whined.
"Trust me, I know from the smell alone. Plus I can resist it, unlike you." Ren sighed with exasperation.
Kuro was filling the jars up and handing them to Pyrrha while Naruto filled his own with ease having created Shadow Clones to get the job done faster, much to RWBY and NPR's jealousy at seeing him get it done quicker.
"Cheater!" Ruby called out with a huff as Naruto stuck his tongue out and blasted some wind at her making her skirt fly up, getting an "eep!" out of her while Weiss sighed at her leader's and potential crush's actions, but didn't stop her from smiling at them.
It was a little while longer, but all the sap was collected and now the teams were just relaxing after doing all the work.
"That was tedious." Blake sighed lying on her sides with her head in her right hand while she saw Naruto was meditating when she saw his eyes gain an orange pigmentation around them.
"What's he doing?" Blake asked, getting the other's attention when they all saw his eyes were different.
"That would be sage mode he's going into. He likes to practice to improve his ability to enter quicker since it's a great boon to have." Kuro said.
"What exactly is Sage Mode?" Pyrrha asked curiously.
"And what benefits does it give aside from weird looking eyes?" Yang asked.
"I'm not entirely sure on the specifics since it's something he learned from his Summons with the Toads. Some of the benefits are that his body is more durable, his sensing ability increases, among other things. You'd have to ask him, but there are dangers to using it as it's very hard and dangerous to use if not careful." Kuro said seriously, her face not showing any kidding around.
"Why is that?" Ren asked.
"From what Naruto told me, if you don't gather the right amount you're body will turn into a toad statue." Kuro said, getting horrifying looks from everyone.
"Gross!" Ruby panicked as she and Nora made gagging noises with Yang and Weiss not far behind with Blake looking a little more green on the face. Ren and Pyrrha flinched and that would be a horrible way to die.
As Team Naruto, KNPR, and RWBY were busy talking they were being watched by Team CRDL on a hill.
"Time for some payback." Cardin glaring at Naruto, Pyrrha, Kuro, and Blake remembering how they humiliated him in class. "Bastards think they're so smart. Mocking me." He then turned to his team pulling out a buzzing cardboard box with a large "W" written on its sides. "Alright, boys... Last night, we managed to round up an entire box of Rapier Wasps, and now, we're gonna put them to work."
"How?" Russel asked.
"Now, according to one of the essays a fellow classmate so graciously wrote for me last week, these nasty things loooove sweets." Cardin explained with a menacing grin as he and his fellow teammates got up. "I'm thinking it's time we teach them a thing or two."
"A delicious plan, Cardin." Dove grinned.
"Let's do this. Hand me the sap." Cardin said sticking him hand out.
"You got it." Sky said handing Cardin a jar of sap as he and Dove picked up their own jars while Russel picking up the cardboard box.
"This is going to be so good." Dove snickered.
"I know." Russel chuckled.
"Not to mention we'll really stick it to that fox vermin." Sky smirked.
"Alright, boys. On my mark, we throw the jars then release the Raiper Wasps." Cardin chuckled as he, Dove, and Sky raised up their jars and Russel began opening up the box.
Back with Team KNPR, Naruto, and RWBY they just stopped freaking out as Naruto was about to say something, but his senses from Sage Mode still active picked up something which was noticed.
"You ok, Naruto?" Ruby asked, seeing him frown, getting everyone else's attention.
Naruto turned his eyes to the side to see Team CRDL on the hill about three jars of sap towards them.
"I don't think so." Naruto muttered pointing out his hand as lightning appeared before he sent out a small pulse around the boys shocking them which in turn made them drop the jars full of sap and breaking them making the sap go all over the team of bullies making them shout in surprise as Russel dropped the box making wasps come out and started flying around Team CRDL who tried to keep them away.
"Those are Rapier Wasps." Pyrrha said, recognizing them.
"What are they doing out here?" Weiss asked.
"They came from the box one of the idiots was holding." Nora frowned.
"It seems like to me Team CRDL got them and were planning to sic them on us after they pelted us with sap since Rapier Wasps are attracted to sweet things." Ren summarized.
"No doubt it was to get me, Naruto, Kuro, and Pyrrha back from how we embarrassed him in class." Blake scoffed at the attempt.
"They obviously didn't count on Naruto's sensing skills." Kuro sighed, shaking her head.
"I'm sure after those stings they'll learn." Yang smirked.
Team CRDL wailed as the Rapier Wasps started to sting and they ran away with the wasps following after them.
"Their weakness disgusts me." Naruto huffed, crossing his arms with the girls nodding their heads agreeing with him. "Anyway we should probably get our sap and get out of here."
"Right." Everyone said in agreement.
Suddenly they heard girly screams followed by roaring.
"That came in the direction Team CRDL went in." Rin said.
"And from the roar it sounded like Ursa." Ruby said, recognizing the sound.
"Ursa are attracted to sweets as well meaning they must've smelled the sap on the buffoons." Weiss said.
"We have to save them, don't we?" Yang whined.
"Unfortunately." Naruto groaned.
Both teams took off in the direction where they heard the roaring. When they made it to a large clearing they saw Team CRDL on the ground shaking in fright being surrounded by a group of Ursa Grimm with one being larger and bonier than the others all of them having covered in scars showing they were all tough.
"These Ursa look like seasoned Grimm." Blake frowned.
"Meaning they'll be tough to fight." Pyrrha said.
"Well the tougher they are..." Naruto smirked.
"...The harder we brawl." Yang grinned.
"Like shopping for lizards at the outlet mall!" Nora giggled doing a little dance before beatboxing.
That made everyone sweatdrop with WTF looks on their faces.
"Why do you embarrass me like this?" Ren sighed, dropping his head.
"Let's just fight." Naruto said.
He rolled up his sleeve when everyone saw a seal on his forearm as he put his fingers on it making it pulse with chakra before something came out. It was a very odd looking sword that was covered in bandages.
"What's that?" Blake asked, being the curious cat she is.
"This here is Samehada. A very special sword. Are you ready for this my friend?" Naruto asked it which confused everyone except for Kurotsuchi, even Ruby, since he never talked to his weapons. They were shocked when it wriggled and gave a noise that sounded like a purr of sorts.
"It talks!?" Ruby/Nora/Yang all yelled with Ruby and Nora have stars in their eyes.
"She doesn't talk like we do, but is capable of speech through the noises she makes. Look we can go into this more later, we have some Ursa to take care of." Naruto said.
Ruby was twirling and dodging all around the Ursa and their strikes while slicing them apart with Crescent Rose while firing shots to the head blowing them up. Ruby then jumped back on to a tree before rocketing herself forwards cutting two Ursa's in half, she then bent down on her knees and changed her weapon into sniper rifle mode and started firing all over the place nailing Ursa after Ursa with a perfect shot.
Ruby grinned seeing five more of the bear Grimm coming at her Ruby brought Crescent Rose to her right side and shifted into war scythe mode before running up to them fast as a blue where there were slashes everywhere til she appeared behind them as her scythe was on her right shoulder as they vanished.
Nora was jumping and sliding all over the place as she slammed Ursa to bits with Magnhild smashing their heads or knocking them away like a bat with a baseball. Nora twirled her hammer around before slamming it into a group of three Ursa's heads knocking them clean off their shoulders, she then shifted it into grenade launcher mode and fired her heart-topped shells on a group of unlucky Ursa that were fried upon impact of pink electricity.
Nora laughed seeing four more Ursa came running at her so Nora changed Magnhild back into its hammer mode and twirled around hitting the Ursa on the sides while also rounding them up together before she threw them all in the air where they were helpless as she shifted her hammer back into a grenade launcher and fired at them resulting in a explosion of pink electricity.
Weiss was gliding across the field slicing and impaling the Ursa with Myrtenaster in the heads, their necks, or chest in a dignified way like a warrior princess. Weiss made her revolver spin as it and the whole rapier glowed red signifying red fire dust was flowing through it before she swiped it sideways firing a red fiery arc dust cutting a group of Ursa in half.
Weiss frowned seeing seven of the Grimm bear rushing towards her to try and tackle her, but she was ready as she made a glyph appear under to give her a boost as she jumped up high in the air as the Ursa collided against each other, twirling around before positioning herself downward her rapier glowed blue signifying blue ice dust before she swiped it around all over herself firing ice slashes slicing the Ursa up and freezing them and when she landed and posed like a knight they shattered in shards.
Pyrrha was fighting her way through the group of Ursa swiping away at them with Milo and Akouo slashing or bashing against them with fury. Pyrrha then slid under a Ursa while slashing her xiphos between its legs to it head before getting up and blocking a claw strike from a Ursa with her shield before she sliced it in half, she then rolled out the way as three more Ursa tried to dogpile her.
Pyrrha smirked seeing the Ursa get up while three more came at her before throwing Akouo discus style slicing the three Ursa's head head that were in front of her then a black energy outlined her left hand and Pyrrha guided it to cut the other three Ursa in half before making her shield come back to her before she shifted Milo from xiphos mode to javelin move and threw it nailed two Ursa's in head head to a tree, before she called it back to her and changed it to rifle mode and fired a barrage of bullets on a small group of Ursa filling them up with bullied and holes as they disintegrated.
Blake was slicing and dicing her group of Ursa with finesse with Gambol Shroud and her cleaver-like sheath leaving them in pieces. Blake then backflipped three times making the two Ursa miss their attacks at her when she stopped backflipping she charged and sliced their heads off before she charged at another group of Ursa and began cutting their arms, legs, or heads off them.
Blake smirked seeing the Ursa surround her so she shifted Gambol Shroud from sword mode to gun/kusarigama mode and grabbed the end of her ribbon and twirled her weapon around using the recoil to make it go faster slicing up majority of the Ursa up til she yanked on the ribbon making her weapon come back to her hand and began firing the rest of the Usra up making them vanish.
Ren was cutting and shooting her opponents down with StormFlower while running into and from them. Ren jumped forward and spun, slicing up four Ursa before turning around and began firing another group of Ursa with bullets turning them into swiss cheese she then charged at them and shredded them into pieces.
Ren saw six Ursa coming right at her so he ran right at them crossing StormFlower over his before jumping up and began cutting their bodies parts off while shooting them with her dual sickle bladed guns, when they were finished them off he turned around and cut four more Ursa's heads off as all the bodies of her fallen foes disappeared.
Kuro had two kunai out and added fire chakra to them and was slicing and dicing them with ease. She ran after one Ursa by itself jumped over it when it tried to bite at her, she slammed one of the kunai on it's back, making it roar from the damage, but before it could retaliate, the other was slammed into its face. She turned to see three more ready for her to kill. "Come on, I can do this all day!" She yelled with an excited grin on her face.
Yang was brawling through the last group of Ursa with Ember Celica simply destroying them with her brute strength. Yang ran up to three Ursa and gave them a one-two-three-four combo til her last punch blew them to bits as she then rolled out the way as one Ursa tried to bite down at her and tried it again but she grabbed it jaws stopping it cold.
Yang grinned seeing five more Ursa coming at her so she swatted them away with the one she was holding like a bat before ripping it in half like a phonebook, she then jumped up towards the group of Ursa before demolishing them with punches and shot from Ember Celica as they were annihilated one by one and when she got to the last one she double punched it and fired a large shot from her shot gauntlets blowing it apart.
When all the Ursa were done they all banded together to look at the last two Ursa that were the larger and bonier ones.
"You guys don't mind if I take care of them, do you?" Naruto smirked, holding Samehada over his shoulder.
"No." Ruby and Yang shook their heads.
"By all means." Weiss waved.
"Knock yourself out." Blake shrugged.
"They're all yours." Ren said.
"Have fun." Pyrrha smiled.
"Oh! Break their legs while you're at it!" Nora cheered.
"This'll be easy for you babe." Kuro waved him off without a worry.
"Let's do this. Hope you like them girl." Naruto grinned as he walked towards the Ursa who roared at him.
The Ursa charged and slammed it's claws down at Naruto who jumped up dodging before he kicked the bear Grimm across the face with his right leg then back kicked the other one with his left leg. He ran at one with Samehada in hand with the Ursa having managed to right itself and charged at him. He brought the blade up and blocked it with ease. It tried pushing him back, but he was firmly planted in
He pushed it back and swung his blade across which sent the Ursa back a little. The next moment, he was on it and as he brought Samehada down unto the Grimm, but when it made contact, he swiped her from it causing a gash to appear as before it evaporated. He turned his attention to the other one who had already begun it's path on him. It jumped and pounced on him, pinning him to the ground with Samehada being stuck between them. Everyone was shocked to see this and were about to jump in, but saw the smirk on his face and said something.
"Go." He said when her scales turned rigid and pierced its body, getting it to howl in agony. Naruto in the next second brought out a Rasengan and slammed it in the face sending it spiraling away in a loud crash when they saw it disintegrate.
He then broke free from the Ursa's grip and wrapped his tail around its neck before tossing it down to the ground, Naruto then jumped on the Ursa and started wailing on its face until he grabbed it with his right hand and threw it towards a tree slamming into it where Naruto was on it's tail then impaled it with Sunset Tempest in the chest before it disintegrated signifying its defeat.
Naruto dusted himself off and made his way back to the others with Samehada strapped to his back now.
"Well that was quite the workout." Yang said, rolling her shoulders.
"It did help refine our skills in the event of an ambush." Ren said, crossing his arms.
"Which wouldn't have happened if not for a couple of dumbasses." Blake said with a hand on her hip as she scowled at CDRL.
"Speaking of which, there they are." Pyrrha said pointing at Team CRDL that was getting up seeing that the danger was gone.
"I'll be right back in a sec." Naruto said, walking towards the pathetic team of hunters. "Are you that petty, that you had to try getting payback for acting like dumbasses? We know how well that worked out."
"Shut up." Cardin growled.
"We didn't need your help." Dove seethed.
"Yeah, we could've handled those Ursa ourselves." Russel stated.
"That's right." Sky added.
"You seem to forget this whole thing is your fault in the first place." Naruto glared stomping at Team CRDL making them step back in fear from his look. "You're the ones who were going to throw sap at us and unleash Rapier Wasps, you're the ones who attracted the Ursa that could've killed you and the students here, you're the ones who wanted payback for being put in your places. In other words, YOU'RE DUMB ASSESS!" Naruto roared, making Team CRDL fall onto their asses. "And now you're going to be punished, all four of you. Watch closely." He said, activating his EMS which was the only thing they saw.
"Tsukuyomi." Was all they heard before falling unconscious.
"What did you do to them?" Blake asked, seeing the unconscious idiots.
"You'll see. Give it a second." Naruto said as the next moment they were screaming until they started drooling and mumbling something they couldn't hear.
"Naruto, what did you do to them?" Ruby asked warily, seeing the group look as if they were now brain dead.
"I used one of the abilities of the Sharingan called Tsukuyomi." Was all he said as they walked off.
"And what does it do exactly? They look like they saw something terrible." Pyrrha said.
"Three words. Guy and Lee." Naruto said with Kuro understanding immediately and paled with the others being confused and worried upon seeing her expression.
"Okay, now that was cruel and not even sure if they deserve that kind of punishment. They'll probably be terrified from now on and I mean really terrified." Kuro said with the others looking confused.
"What did they see?" Weiss asked wary now and not sure if she wanted to know, but curiosity got the better of her.
"It's a Genjutsu that ties the affected to a cross unable to move while the caster can do anything they want to them. In that world, it lasts for 72 hours while out here 3 seconds pass by only, but anything that happens to them feels very real and repeats the process. So imagine being subjected to the same thing for 3 days straight, able to feel it all on a grand scale. Instead of torturing them physically, I put them through a different kind of torture that would affect them mainly mentally." Naruto explained much to their horror at the implications.
"How about we all head on back to Glynda since we got our sap." Pyrrha suggested, wanting to move on from this topic.
Seeing that was a good idea both teams headed on out towards where Glynda was at and get answers regarding the special sword that Naruto has.
And that's the end of the chapter. I hope it was to everyone's liking and that they enjoyed themselves. Next chapter will be having a couple of surprises and a mission for Naruto himself given by Ozpin in person. Take care everyone and stay safe! KillerSSGRed out!
