/-/
He was lost in the forest, tired, hungry and naked. He had walked for days, trying to find a way out, but the forest seemed endless. I felt completely disoriented, not knowing what to do and with no hope of finding help.
That's when I saw her. A woman with white hair and red eyes appeared out of nowhere. At first I thought it was a hallucination, that my mind was playing tricks on me. But she was there, in front of me, offering me her help.
Delilah, that's her name. She captivated me from the first moment I saw her. She looked like a magical creature, straight out of a fairy tale. Her red eyes were deep like the ocean, and her hair was white like snow. She offered me shelter and food, and I couldn't resist her charm.
Delilah carefully approached the naked man lying in the woods, not sure how he had gotten there or what he was doing there. But what he was sure of was that he needed help.
—"Hi, are you okay?", Delilah asked, trying to stay calm.
—"Yes, I'm fine", said the man, beginning to sit up slowly.
—"What happened? How did you end up here naked in the middle of the forest?"
Sasuke frowned, trying to remember.
—"I don't know, I have a big gap in my memory. I don't remember how I ended up here. The last thing I remember is darkness and then the forest."
— "It must have been an accident. But don't worry, I'll help you."
Delilah offered him a glass of water and some food she had in her backpack.
—"Here, eat something. It will help you regain your energy. And then I will take you to the hospital to be examined."
Sasuke accepted the water and food, and began to feel a little better. He was grateful for Delilah's help and also a little embarrassed by his situation.
—"Thank you for helping me. I don't know how to thank you."
—"Don't worry about it, I'm just happy you're okay. Can I know your name?"
—"Am... Sasuke".
—"I'm Delilah. Do you want to tell me more about yourself while I take you to the hospital?"
Sasuke was a little quiet as they walked towards the exit of the forest. But soon he started talking, it was a mistake, he didn't remember anything.
Sasuke was grateful for Delilah's help. It was strange not being able to remember how he had ended up in the forest naked, but he was grateful that someone had found him and given him help.
As they walked together, Sasuke tried to remember more details of his life. He felt as if there was a huge gap in his memory, as if he had lost an important part of himself. He had tried to make a conscious effort to remember more, but all he was getting were fleeting flashes of images that made no sense to him.
As he talked to Delilah, he felt more relaxed. Even though she was a stranger, she seemed like she cared about him. He wondered how someone this kind could exist.
For a moment, he felt a little sad and alone. But then she remembered that he wasn't alone. He had Delilah by his side, and that meant a lot to him at that moment.
Sasuke: —"What do you like to do in your free time, Delilah?"
Delilah:— "I like to cook. I often try to create new recipes at home. What about you?"
Sasuke:— "I'm not sure, really. I can't remember what I used to do. But something tells me that I also like to cook."
Delilah:— "We could cook together then. What kind of food do you prefer?"
Sasuke: —"..Ramen. Definitely, ramen".
Delilah:— "Great! I would love to make you the best ramen you've ever had."
Sasuke: —"Thank you very much, Delilah. I hope I can help in some way."
Delilah:— "Don't worry about anything. I'm happy to help you. I assure you that you will enjoy my ramen. When would you like me to prepare it?"
Sasuke:— "Today maybe? We can go shopping together to get the ingredients."
Delilah: —"Perfect! Let's look for the ingredients together and then we'll cook at home. This way it's more fun and you can learn how I do it."
Sasuke: —"That sounds good. Thank you for doing this for me, Delilah. I really appreciate your help and kindness."
At that moment, Delilah smiled sweetly, "you know, I think I know how you could repay me."
—"Really? I'll do anything."
—"Well, I have an orphanage, I run it with my older sisters and help is always welcome. I would like you to help me take care of the children... If you don't mind."
—"Now that I'm a little better, I think I've regained my common sense a little, so to speak. It's not sensible to bring a man to your house, much less ask him to take care of some children if you don't know him."
—"You're right, it's very naive and dangerous, but I once heard a saying somewhere. That strangers are just friends you don't know."
— "...I think... I heard that somewhere else."
'-'
—"¡Hey, wake up!"
—"What's wrong? Why are you bothering me? I want to sleep, go away. A sleepy Sasuke scolded the men who were trying to wake him up."
—"Wake up now!".
— "Yes, yes, I'm coming," tired and still a little disoriented, Sasuke stood up. He was in a bar, Sasuke was lying on the floor with some bottles of alcohol and around him were some members of the White Fang who were asleep.
And he remembered what happened last night, Mr. Belladonna gave him a tour of all of Kuo Kuana. And then he became good friends with the members of the White Fang and invited them to a beer. They partied all night, except for Ghira, since he had to return home because his wife didn't give him permission. Well, I don't blame him, Kali Belladonna's threat to him was really convincing.
Leaving aside how you control someone like Ghira, Sasuke and his quote-unquote new friends walked into the first bar they found and partied all night. And the White Fang members woke Sasuke up in the afternoon.
—"¡Hey, wake up!".
—"Yes, I'm already awake."
—"So this is the supposed human who came to Menagerie... yes, he is a human."
—"I'm sorry, miss," Sasuke shook his head, —"but I'm a faun even though I don't look like it."
—"Maybe you can fool these idiots. But not me."
—"No, no, seriously," he said, now a little more recovered. —"Look, here it is, I have big fangs and I also have the papers that prove that I am a faun."
So Sasuke handed her a badge and some other documents and the woman read them carefully; —"make sure they're not fake," then the woman handed the papers to a random man who proceeded to do a background check.
—"Madam, yes, it is a faun."
— "I see, and what do you come to do here in the menagerie?"
—"Tourism and possibly settling down,... missyyyyyyy...?"
—"Siena Khan".
—"Miss Sienna Khan, that's a lovely name, I think we'll get along well."

It was no wonder that Naruto won that fight, it was actually relatively quick, he didn't even try hard and the worst thing was that Weiss couldn't handle this fight.
because Naruto, instead of simply overwhelming the enemy and destroying them completely, decided to talk to the only girl on the opposing team.
It was also no surprise that Weiss, instead of cheering for Naruto, cheered for the opposing team to defeat the Uzumaki.
Pyrrha, seeing what Naruto was doing, became very upset and decided to take the fight away from Naruto and make it her own. Seeing that he had no one to fight with, the Uzumaki simply waited sitting on a stone for his friends to finish fighting their respective battles.
The Uzumaki really got really excited, he didn't know why Pyrrha decided to take her opponent from him, it was very brutal and he was actually quite scared for a moment. The redhead took down his first opponent very, very quickly and brutally and then simply punched the girl Naruto was fighting with in the jaw.
He didn't even try to rant or complain, he just sat there and decided not to say anything.
And so the NNPR team's fight ended, Weiss saw a plane and smiled happily, she knew who it was.
—"Weiss! Why are you running?! What is happening?!"
—"She's here".
—"Who?"
—"My sister
— "Oh, do you have a sister?!" Ruby asked, very surprised because she had never mentioned it.
They quickly reached the aircraft that landed and the hatch slowly opened and from there the figure of a beautiful woman could be seen. She had the Atlas uniform and white hair and blue eyes, a smooth, firm and severe face, it was like seeing an adult version of Weiss.
—"Beacon, it's been a while, the air... feels different."
—"Well, it's fall, so it must be colder," Ruby responded, but was rewarded with a punch to Weiss's shoulder.
—"Well, why are you here?" Weiss asked cheerfully.
—"It's classified," that response was very cold.
—"Oh, yeah, right... How long will you be here?"
—"Classified".
—"Sure... You're going to love this place! I know you travel a lot, but Atlas and Beacon are very different, even Vale. Plus, the government and the academy are separate, can you believe it?"
—"I am more than familiar with the way this kingdom runs its bureaucracy. That is not why I came here."
—"true, I'm sorry."
—"nor did I come here to see my own blood fail so miserably in combat. But it seems I have no choice in the matter."
—"But we won".
—"Only a rookie calls that winning. I found three failed attacks."
Weis lowered his head, unable to look at his sister.
—..."Leave us". The squad of robots then moved away from Winter and gave her space with her sister.
Winter sighed.—"And how have you been?"
Weiss was immediately encouraged by that question,—"splendidly. I am ranked highest in combat and in my studies I am among the best."
BAM! was greeted with a pat on the head from Winter.
—"Shut up," he said sternly,— "I'm asking how you are."
—"And also that's not true, you're in third place, Naruto is in first place and Pyhrra is second," Ruby mentioned in a low voice.
—"I didn't ask you about your ranking, I want to know how you are, do you have friends? Mention a name."
—"aaaaaahh, well, Ruby Rose."
—"I see, so she is the leader you mentioned in your letters, she is just as you described her, a little disappointing."
Rubí, not knowing what to respond, just said,— "Thank you?"
—"Greetings Ruby Rose, I appreciate you taking an interest in my sister."
—"No problem," he said happily.
—"very well," then Winter smiled slightly, —"I have business to attend to with the General and the Director, but I arrived early. So, why don't you show me your room?"
—"Actually?" ,Weiss asked happily.
— "Yes, I would like to see if they live up to their reputation."
—"Of course! .Ah, a warning, the bunk beds are a little unstable."
—"Bunk beds?" she asked, a little confused.
—"Ruby! Weiss!" In the distance Naruto could be heard approaching the two girls.
—"You know, I'm a little sad, how come you didn't come to congratulate me? I expected that from Blake but not from you Ruby. You hurt my heart, you were my best friend, now it seems that this title belongs to Zwei, At least he understands me."
—"Oh, looks like they have company," Naruto leaned in. —"It is an honor to meet you Miss Schnee."
—"¿You know me?".
—"Not personally, Jaune has told me a lot about you."
— "so you are friends with Jaune Arc?"
— "I am his best friend, don't forget that detail, we are like Nail and dirt, Jaune is the dirt and I am the Nail, don't forget that detail too."
—"You are just as he described her, a beautiful woman with white hair, a serious face and fascinating blue eyes, that the only way a man can feel spring is by being with you, that the sun sometimes feels that it does not shine so bright like her, and that the shooting stars would like a little of the magic that emanates from her lips.
PAM!
Weiss elbowed him in the ribs and Naruto groaned a little. — "That's enough, Naruto, that's enough," he said with a frown.
—"You didn't need to hit me, Weiss."
Then Winter started to laugh lightly.
— "you are exactly as my sister described you."
—"Good to know, such a lovely lady, what are you doing here at Beacon?"
—"It's very flattering, Mr. Uzumaki, but I don't need those things."
—"I know, but it never hurts to remind a beautiful woman how beautiful she is."
Naruto smiled. — " It's okay Naruto, you already broke her frozen shell. Now that you have her, just keep the conversation going . Well, let me guide her to his destination."
—" That would be nice Mr. Uzumaki."
—"It would be an honor," so Naruto and Winter walked shoulder to shoulder with Weiss and Ruby following them.
— "It seems that Naruto gets along very well with your sister."
—"Yes," Weiss replied dryly.
—"I don't understand what you're doing here, nor do I intend to interfere in your affairs, but if you have time I suggest you go see the garden we have, it's beautiful. Our facilities are top-notch, they have a rustic touch but they give them a certain personality, such .Beacon Academy may not be as technologically advanced as Atlas Academy, but it defends itself very well. The combat arenas are always available to students, you can make a space and train with your sister, they are always available to everyone."
—"That's good to know," Winter responded, smiling and nodding.
—"Also, if you want to try the food of the region, there are always the food stalls in Vale. And since you are here you could take the opportunity to experiment, there is food of all kinds and from different parts of the world, you could take advantage and try some of dishes, but if you want to play it safe, there are also Atlas dishes.
—"And what do you suggest, Mr. Uzumaki?"
— "Mistralian chicken is awesome, I suggest you try it, you won't be disappointed, and if you want to have fun, there is always a disco available at night, I suggest Junior's club."
—"Hahaha, it's good to hear your suggestion, Mr. Uzumaki, I will consider it."
— "Do it, take your sister and have a good time together," Naruto whispered to Winter, — "maybe you've already noticed, but it seems like Weiss is very happy with your presence here."
—"You are very thoughtful, yes, exactly as my sister described you in her letters."
— "Have you talked a lot about me?"
—"A lot".
—"I hope they are good things."
—"Oh yes, he talked a lot about you. He talks about you being very intelligent, very skilled in combat and very chivalrous. I don't doubt it, you have been an excellent host so far."
— "Thank you very much, I am honored to hear those words."
—"He also talked about your high promiscuity."
That comment made Naruto almost fall face first onto the ground. Naruto regained his balance and looked at Winter with wide eyes. — "What?" He asked confused, he didn't really know where that had come from, he immediately looked back at Weiss, who was trying to look away from him.
—"¿Weiss?"
—"It's not what it seems! It's a misunderstanding," Weiss defends herself. —"At first I may have mentioned it in one of my letters, because I believed the rumors, but I rectified it in the subsequent letters I sent to my sister!"
—"Miss Schnee, I can assure you that any rumor you have read about me is a lie."
—"Really? Is it a lie that you brought a woman to her room when her roommates were asleep?"
—"...Yes, I did, but the situation is completely out of context, I can explain it."
—"Ice queen!". A voice was heard in the distance, but Winter, Naruto, and the others decided to ignore it.
—"Ice Queen!" Seeing that that voice would continue and insist, Winter looked at the origin of the voice and there she could see a slightly drunk Qrow. —"If I talk to you".
Weiss indignantly approached the drunk and stood in front of Qrow. —"Hey, do you know who you're talking to?"
—"Not you". Qrow placed a hand on Weiss's face and pushed her away before taking quick steps towards Winter.
— "When I saw that horrendous ship I assumed you would be here."
—"I'm standing in front of you, then."
Naruto interrupted Winter by raising a hand. — "I'm sorry," he sighed. —"Don't worry Miss Schnee, I'll take care of this matter," then Naruto stood in front of Qrow.
— "Mr. Branwen, do you realize that you have just destroyed military property of the Atlas army?"
—"Ooooh, yes, I understand that."
— "You know very well that building one of these robots costs hundreds of thousands of Lien, it is not cheap at all."
— "Get out of here brat."
—"Weiss, take your sister on a tour of the Academy, I'll take care of this personally."
Naruto turned and looked at Winter: —"Sorry for the scene you just witnessed, Miss Schnee, it is very embarrassing."
— "Don't worry Mr. Uzumaki, I'm used to interacting with stupid people, especially this stupid one."
—"Hey, you're not going anywhere!" When Qrow was about to approach Winter, Naruto immediately grabbed his arm and put him in a headlock and pinned him to the ground.
—"I really hate doing this Qrow, I like you a lot, but when you're sober."
—"Stupid brat! You have 5 seconds to free me or I swear I'll kick your ass."
—"Yeah,...that won't happen," Naruto said, downplaying Qrow's threat.
Naruto just gives Qrow a flat look, he should be used to seeing Qrow in this state by now, but frankly, this wasn't the time to be drunk. He took a small piece of paper out of his pocket and taped it to Qrow's back. Naruto released his grip on the raven-haired boy and simply moved a few meters away.
Qrow tried to stand up but it was difficult, his body was heavy, very heavy, as if he had 700 or 800 kg of weight on his back. —"I can not move".
—"I'm sorry, but you'll stay there until Glynda comes, I'll call her." Naruto turned on his scroll and tried to call the vice principal, but he didn't answer.
Qrow desperately tried to get up or do something, but he couldn't. He heard slow footsteps approaching him, he could barely lift his head only to see Winter smiling smugly at him.
—"Wow, wow, wow, this is much more appropriate for you, Qrow, to be on the ground like a worm."
—"Shut the fuck up, you'll see when I get free, you're lucky this brat caught me off guard."
—"Are you trying to make excuses, Qrow? You know very well that you were outmatched, by a boy no less, but there is no shame in accepting that you lost."
—"I didn't lose to anyone!"
—"You lost to a boy, you have to accept it." Winter's smile grew wider, there was a certain sadistic pleasure in seeing Qrow completely defeated.
—"Why don't you say the magic words? And maybe I can suggest Mr. Uzumaki to free you."
—"Bitch".
—"Come on, say it, say it 'please free me Miss Schnee, free me from this prison because I was a miserable fool' and I'll tell Mr. Uzumaki to free me. I bet he won't deny my request, right?"
— "Oh no, of course not, if you ask me, I will release Qrow immediately."
—"So come on, say it now: 'release me, majestic Winter Schnee.'"
—"Fuck you! I won't say anything like that! I'd rather stay here for the rest of my life!"
—"You know, there are many ways to break a man's will..."
—"That's enough, Schnee Specialist." Immediately after hearing that voice, Winter stood at attention.
— "My General, nice to meet you, it is an honor to see you."
— "It looks like you're having fun... and what are you doing lying on the floor? There are rooms available in Beacon, you could sleep in one of them."
—"Fuck you James."
—"Mr. Uzumaki," Glynda Goodwitch said to him, —"could you free Qrow from whatever he did to him?"
— "Immediately," Naruto released Qrow, but he didn't miss the look Ozpin gave him, but he wasn't looking at him specifically. He looked at the strange paper and the symbols on it, Naruto cursed himself internally, he shouldn't have used this seal on Qrow and much less in the middle of so many people.
When Qrow stood up, he wanted to retaliate against him, but Glynda lifted him into the air.
—"Enough, Qrow." Exasperated, Glynda shook her head and walked in the direction of the school's large tower.
General James and Ozpin followed her, with Winter simply walking behind her leader. But before that, he stopped for a few moments and looked directly at the Uzumaki. —"Thank you very much for the tour, Mr. Uzumaki, it has been pleasant talking with you so far."
And Winter turned her gaze to Weiss and smiled. — "I approve," he said before simply walking in the direction of the Beacon tower.
Weiss turned a little red and lowered her head.
—"Does he approve? What does he approve? Did you have any problems with your sister?" Naruto asked, a little worried.
—"No, it's nothing to worry about."
— "Well," Naruto watched Weiss' sister walk away, — "your sister is lovely."
Hearing that, Weiss frowned and punched Naruto in the ribs.
—"Why was that?" Naruto raised an eyebrow, these types of actions have become common in Weiss.
—"Imbecile".
—"?".
/-/
—"¡Oh, it's you!".
—"Yes, it's me, how have you been?"
—"I'm fine, just a little hungry."
—"¿And your father?".
—"He's in his room, he hasn't gone out much, not even to bathe."
—"I see, can I sit next to you?"
—"Of course, I'm glad you're here, I haven't seen you in a while, where have you been?"
—"I've been traveling to all kinds of places and collecting items."
—"Could you tell me a story?"
—"That will be for another time, girl, and well, I guess you're hungry, and where is your sister?"
— "In his room, he has homework to do."
The man shook the girl's hair. — "What do you want to eat? I have some time, so I could cook you something, what do you want?"
—"Chocolate biscuits!"
— "That's how it will be," the man stood up and stretched a little, and then proceeded to head to the kitchen with the girl following him at his feet.
The man proceeded to look in the drawers for all the ingredients to make said meal. — "And tell me, how have you been these days?"
—"Well, classes are going well and... mom hasn't come back, dad says she's gone to a far away place."
The man gave a complicated look. — "Yes, it will take a while, but I'm sure he will come back, just wait a few weeks."
— "But it's been a long time! And she hasn't come back."
—"Understand that the job of being a Hunter is not easy, Ruby, many things can happen and the mission takes a long time."
—"I know, but I want her to be here."
The man looked at the girl, she was sad and devastated. So he decided to cheer her up with something in particular.
— "Listen, do you remember the strawberry jam and chocolate cookies your mom used to make you?"
—"Yes, I remember it very well."
— "Well, your mother taught me how to make them, do you want me to make them?"
—"Can you make them? Dad tried to make them once, but they didn't come out."
—"Well, I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but I defend myself very well, and your mother forced me to learn this recipe."
—"Then do them!" he shouted animatedly.
—"Shhh," the man gestured for him to realize that he shouldn't make noise. — "Calm down, don't make noise, your sister is doing her homework and your father is doing whatever he does."
The girl covered her mouth and nodded. —"Okay, let's make the cookies, but I need your help."
—"What do you want me to do?"
— "A few things, you know, like kneading the dough, adding chocolate chips and a few other things, understand?"
— "At your command my captain."
—"Hehehe, good girl," the man patted her head again. —"Very well, let's begin."
—"A question Uncle," said the small and innocent girl. — "Why do you always come in through the window?"
—"Because it makes me look cool."
—"Okay, the dough is ready, now we need the molds. Could you bring them to me?"
—"Sure!", the girl ran out, searched the drawers and found a star mold and another in the shape of a Christmas tree. —"Are here".
—"Very good," the man took these molds and proceeded to use them in the dough. Once that action was finished, he put each of the cookies on a metal plate and put them in the oven while the girl watched the man's actions with fascinated eyes.
—"And how long does it take to cook?"
—"About 30 minutes, it's not that long." The man took a chair and sat in front of the little girl.
— "Tell me, have you made friends at school?"
—"yeeess... no".
—"Rubí, you can't be like this all the time. You need to socialize more, it will be good for you."
—"I try, but it's very difficult, I don't know how to make friends, I'm not like Yang."
— "Well, Yang is no different from you, she's just more outgoing, but if you try hard, you can surely make friends. Believe me, you're my friend and I'm not a very popular person so to speak."
—"But man, you're funny, you come to visit me when my father is in his room doing nothing." The girl frowned and put on a sad look. —"He hasn't left the room in weeks and my uncle Qrow isn't here either. He's going on a trip and doesn't come to visit us, and Yang is sad too, she just goes into her room and goes to class... and I am alone".
The man listened carefully to the girl's words. It really hurt him to see her like this, she shouldn't have to go through this.
He tried to comfort the girl as best he could. She put a hand on her shoulder. —"Listen Rubí, things may seem difficult now. Hard times will come, I'm not going to lie to you. You have to be strong, but the good times will return and your father will finally leave that room. He will be the same as always just like you. sister. Just give them time."
—"And do you know what's wrong with dad? Is he suffering? Is he sick?"
— "He has the worst pain. He lost someone. He lost a friend."
—"A friend? My dad's friend died?"
— "His best friend, his life partner is no longer here. He is devastated. He would very much like to be here with you and your sister. He would like to be as always, but it is very hard for him."
—"oh".
—"So I'll give you a job."
—"Really? Awww, I don't want to do any homework. I'm sick of classes."
—"Hahaha, don't worry, this job will be relatively easy. I want you to stay as you are now, to stay happy and content. And pretend when you're not. Go to your father and hug him. I want you to be there for him."
—"Is that all? Don't I have to build something or buy a gift?"
—"Believe me, Rubí, the fact that you are in his presence is more than enough. It will give him strength."
—"Understood uncle! I will not let you down on this mission."
— "I hope for success in this official mission Rubí." At that moment they started to laugh, but they immediately shut up because they knew not to make too much noise.
¡Whooshhhh!
— "The cookies are ready." The man approached the oven and took out a large quantity of cookies. —"I think they turned out well. Here, try it, but be careful because it's hot."
Little Ruby grabbed the cookie with both hands and blew on the steaming cookie. She chewed her snack and her eyes lit up.
The man smiled happily. This girl was strong, much stronger than he would ever be. — "They taste exactly like mom's! It's delicious!" He exclaimed with joy.
—"I'm glad you liked them, but we need a glass of milk, right?" , Then she went to the refrigerator and took out a carton of milk and poured it into a glass.
—"Here it is, the cookies are all yours, but there are some left over for Yang. She must want them too."
—"Yes Yes of course".
!Pam. Bang. Pam!
The man became sad when he heard footsteps approaching. —"Well, I guess I have to go now. Sorry, Ruby."
—"Really? Can't you stay a little longer?" he said sadly. She really didn't want her uncle to leave.
— "I'm sorry but I have to go, but I'll come visit you. Don't worry, you know when I'm here."
—"Yes, yes, yes, yes I know. When I hear the window open I know it's you."
—"Good girl," the man stroked her head. —"I have to go".
—"I would like to give you something to remember me by. I mean, you do a lot of things for me, but I haven't done anything for you." The girl lowered her head.
—"Hahaha, don't worry. The fact that you're happy is more than enough."
—"Still," the girl got down from her chair and went to a nightstand in the living room and then returned to the man.
Rubi handed him something. The man curiously took the object and examined it. —"This is a Spiner"
— "Yes".
—"But you know very well that I am not going to use it. I am a man."
—"Come on, I know it would look good on you. It looks good on mom."
—"..I see," the man smiled sweetly and then widened his smile. —"Thank you very much, I love this gift. I will use it, you'll see."
— "I hope you wear it. It will look great on you."
—"I bet so," the man approached the window and climbed out of it. And he disappeared from that house.
...
—"What are you thinking so much about?" asked General Ironwood.
—"Nothing in particular, I'm just wandering in my thoughts. Did you know that the heart can move a car?"
—"Stop it, Roman!" James hit the cell, but he didn't even flinch.
—"Enough of this nonsense, tell me who is behind Vale's attack. What do they want?"
—"What do they want? I don't know, but I think you already know that answer very well, and I have no knowledge of what they really plan."
—"At least tell me the name of those responsible."
—"I'm afraid that won't be possible. If I reveal anything, it doesn't matter how, but they will manage to kill me. That's how dangerous they are. I'm afraid of them and not the man who has me in a cell. James, if you're done, you can out of here".
—"You are very lucky that the laws of Atlas prohibit me from doing anything else."
—"Hehehe, no, I'm lucky that you are such a moral and soft man, that you wouldn't have the courage to beat me, torture me or kill me. It's not the laws of Atlas that limit you, but your own morality."
—"Idiot," General James Ironwood positioned himself on one side of the cell.
Roman looked down. He was tired and really discouraged. He had to wait here until Cinder's plans tell him it's time to act. At the moment, he was simply waiting in a dark cell.
The sigh. It's very strange to be tired when you haven't done anything.— "I would like a cookie with strawberry jelly and chocolate chips."
—"Any progress?" Qrow asked.
—"No, he refuses to talk."
—"We can be tougher on him, James."
—"Oh yeah? Would you have the courage to hit him, Qrow?" The black-haired man didn't say anything, he simply frowned and looked towards the cell.
It really got too complicated. She never believed she was in this situation. He was very angry. So much shit has happened in recent days and they haven't had a clue about the main culprit behind Amber's condition.
—"Summer would be very disappointed in you, Roman."
—"Summer is dead. Whether she's disappointed or not, it's not up to me. The only thing that matters to me is fulfilling the mission she gave me."
—"Yeah, it seems like you're doing a good job so far," Qrow said sarcastically.
—"It's a much better job than you should have done when they needed you."
—"Don't give me that!" Qrow yelled at him very angrily. How dare this man here reproach him for what he did that time? — "You know it very well... me."
—"Yes, yes, yes, you were looking for her in the hope that she was alive. It's the fifth time you've given me that excuse and, like the first time, it's complete bullshit."
—"They were abandoned by you and Taiyan, the people who should have ensured their safety. And you were not there for them. The incident in the forest had to happen for them to open their eyes. They had to be in danger for them to finally see the , Summer wouldn't be disappointed in me, but in you."
/-/
—"That battle was impressive, I have to admit, Miss Adel. Yes, it was an impressive defeat, they did their best. It's a shame, I really would have wanted to kick their asses personally, but it can't be helped, fate is like that." .
—"Are you done, Naruto?" ,Coco said with a frown and arms crossed.
— "No, of course not, I still have a lot to say."
—"Enough, Naruto," Pyrrha scolded her leader.
— "But, Pyhrra, I just want to have a little fun with her," Naruto approached Coco and put his arm around her neck. — "She said so many things about how she would kick my ass once she was done with those two idiots, and in the end she lost. Well, she has to live with the consequences of me making fun of her."
—"I'm going to kick your ass right now, Uzumaki."
—"Forgive me if I don't feel threatened, Miss Adel, but if you couldn't beat Mercury and Esmeralda, I highly doubt you could beat me..."
—"Enough Naruto," Pyrrha pulled Naruto away from Coco and hugged him from behind.
—"But, Pyrrha!" Naruto complained like a child, in response Pyrrha pressed his body more against Naruto's.
—"That's enough Naruto," he spoke close to her ear.
Naruto, upon feeling the redhead's contact, stiffened and blushed slightly, —"Y-Yes, yes, you're right. I won't do it again."
—"Thank you, let's go eat."
—"I'm sorry, but I have to go to train."
—" no, Naruto," Pyrrha hugged the Uzumaki's torso tighter, — "stay with us today, we have to enjoy this day. We don't know when we will have to fight."
—" Probably tomorrow" .
—" Yes, it is possible" .
—"In any case, I have to go..."
—"No, stay here..., Do it for me."
—"That's very low..." Naruto was silent for a second and nodded meekly.
Ren and Nora saw the scene and smiled. It seems that Naruto is slowly starting to see Pyrrha in a different way.
—"Hahaha, he has you under control like a dog," Coco mocked Naruto.
— "No, of course not, I can leave here whenever I want."
—"No, you're not going anywhere, Naruto. You're going to stay with me, right?" .
—"Damn... yeah, I'm not going anywhere."
—"hahahaha", Coco began to laugh at this situation,— "Oh no, I can't believe it."
—"Let's go look for a food stand, I'll buy it," Naruto said to everyone and they began to look for something to eat.
The double battles started today, but there were too many participants, so in this round of double matches they had to try to minimize the number of opponents so that only the best of the best participated in the final battles. And well, so far his team has not been called and neither has team RWBY. They were just waiting for their turn to fight.
Now Naruto and his team were looking for something to eat, and on their way to do so they were also accompanied by Ruby's team, Velvet's team and Cardin's team, in addition to Jaune and his team also decided to accompany Naruto, because of Somehow they all got together and went to look for something to pass the time until it was their turn to fight.
— "Master Jiraiya", Naruto upon hearing that name turned around slowly like everyone else and saw a beautiful black-haired girl with a severe look, but not directed towards them, but towards the Narutos.
—"Mayer? What are you doing here?" Naruto puts his hand on the girl's shoulder but Mayer immediately hit the Uzumaki's hand roughly.
—"Don't touch me, Naruto " .
— "Are you still angry? I thought you were over it. We ended on good terms."
— "Only you call that ending on good terms, Naruto."
— "Well, could you enlighten me, because I really don't understand it."
—"Fuck you Uzumaki."
—"You're angry, ...why?" .
—"imbecile"
— "You know, you should get over it now, you're a big girl, you should, I don't know?, get on with your life."
—" foolish" .
—"That's very mature of you, Mayer."
— " bastard" .
—"You know, we can't move this conversation forward if you keep insulting me."
— "Fuck off" .
— "yeah, okay. why are you here?"
It could be because of the question or because Mayer really ran out of insults, but he decided to sigh and continue explaining why he was here. —"I'm sponsoring your third book."
—" Oh, sure" .
—"Do you write books, Naruto?" Velvet asked.
—"No," said Naruto, trying to hide his involvement in said orange book, —"I understand, but why did you come with me if my presence makes you so angry?"
—"because I don't have many options, Naruto, you know very well, we work together."
—"I understand. So you want..."
—"Yes, I want you to put on your costume and go sign autographs."
—"I see. I'll do it. What time do I have to go?"
—" Hope you're on time, idiot. I'll send you all the details later, idiot."
—"Yes, you didn't need to tell me. Right!, guys. This is Mayer, my..."
—" Your ex girlfriend" . Pyrrha frowned.
—"Don't call me that, redhead."
— "Yes, we have a mutual agreement not to mention that term between us, it gives us a certain repulsion, especially to me."
—"Hahaha, are you repulsed by that name, Naruto?" Mayer laughed indignantly. — "You're lucky that someone like me is even considered your ex-girlfriend."
—"Ah, excuse me your majesty, I didn't know you had such pleasure."
—"You're just a worm who was lucky enough to be with someone like me."
—"Really? You know, that's why we broke up, Mayer. I really hoped you'd change something, but it seems like you haven't."
—"No, we didn't separate because of that. You know very well why we separated, because of what you did!"
—"Oh, come on, Mayer! Really?" Naruto shouted. "Are we going to have this conversation now? You're lucky I got involved in what you did before! Your job was very dangerous! And now look at you! You're the CEO of one of the largest publishers in Vale, not to mention the four kingdoms! You should thank me for getting involved."
—"Do you really think I want to be the CEO of a damn publishing house? I prefer my old job a thousand times! I had much more prestige there!"
—"Oh, please! Who the hell are you kidding? You're not kidding anyone! You didn't have any prestige! You were the lackey of a major boss! At least here in your new ,You don't have to follow anyone's orders anymore. You're your own boss and you should thank me, but I haven't heard anything like that in all the time I've worked with you."
—"And you'll never hear it, Uzumaki! Did you hear me? I'd rather die than thank you for anything!"
—"You know what, Mayer? I expected much more from you in our relationship, but it seems that the best thing was to separate from you. This would never have worked. It's a good thing I left you."
Everyone looked at this scene with morbid curiosity. They were fascinated. They had never seen Naruto like this and it was very funny.
Weiss was about to interrupt this discussion, but Nora grabbed her and covered her mouth, telling her not to interrupt this scene, that she wanted to see it, and everyone nodded, including Pyrrha.
—"Oh no, no, no. Did you leave me, Uzumaki? No, no. Of course not. I left you!"
—"Don't get the wrong ideas! That night I was the one who left you. Don't be mistaken, Mayer."
They were both breathing hard. Less than expected, each one was going to go to the other's neck.
—"Tsk. So these are your companions. You have beautiful companions." Mayer looked at the girls in the entire group. — "Be careful with this idiot. He may seem innocent and all nonsense, but in reality he is a damn predator. Be careful a little." and they will be in their clutches and will not be able to escape."
—"You ran away from me, you know?"
—"Yes, but it's because you allowed me, idiot . "
Mayer pushed Naruto and then pushed Naruto's friends out of the way before continuing. But Mayer wasn't going to stay like that, he stopped his steps and turned to Naruto and shouted.
—"You know what?! You're not even as impressive as the stories say!"
—"Oh yeah?! Well, that's not what you said that night! I remember very well that you were tired and panting, and you begged me to stop!"
—"Fuck you, Uzumaki! You better be here tomorrow, and I hope you get your ass kicked."
—"That won't happen, you will be disappointed because I will be victorious!"
Naruto simply took a deep breath to calm his nerves and sighed, —"How can this woman drive me crazy?" .
—"So this is Mayer?" Pyrrha said, approaching Naruto as did Wess.— "She is a very interesting woman . "
—"I don't like it," Weiss snapped.
—"Me neither Weiss, neither me."
—"In fact, she is very beautiful," said Jaune, —" I understand why you fell in love with her, strong personality, indomitable character, all the qualities you like in a woman, you always had a thing for tough women..., But there is something that is bothering me a little, how old is Mayer?" .
— "As I understand it, he turned 30 two months ago . "
Everyone stepped back surprised.
—"W-what?" Jaune asked, still in disbelief.
Naruto looked at his friend with a flat but serious look, —"I like older women . "
/-/
I really wish I didn't have to resort to this, even for me some things are impossible to do. Despite the many years he has lived, he even feels the uncertainty of doing some actions, he feels reluctant to do certain things.
— "Amber's condition is worsening by the second, Ozpin. Very soon not even the machine will be able to keep her alive and, if that happens, its power will go directly to her attacker. You know how dangerous that is, we cannot allow such power to go to the enemy."
— "James, I understand what you're trying to tell me and I totally agree with you, but still..."
—"I know, Ozpin. I don't like it either, but we..."
— "Yes".
—"We have to make the difficult decisions," they both said at the same time.
Surrounding the general and the headmaster were Qrow and Glynda. Neither of them said a single word, but they knew one thing very well: that if they passed the power of the maiden to another hostess it would mean the death of Amber. It would be painful, since they knew the girl personally, especially Glynda, since she was her guardian at one point.
Neither slow nor lazy, Qrow approached Ozpin's desk and pointed to three images. —"We have four possible candidates: Pyrrha Nikos, Coco Adel, Yang Xiao Long and Weiss Schnee."
—"Among the four, the most qualified is Pyrrha Nikos and she is the best option."
—"I agree with you, Qrow. If she accepts, we will have a great advantage by having our blonde friend on our side."
—"Are you still with that, Ozpin?" Glynda said, sighing.
—"I'll stick with it, Glynda. I'll insist that Mr. Uzumaki be with us. He's a key player. It doesn't matter if we don't choose Pyrrha; we have Weiss and Yang; he'll always be willing to help them. Miss Adel is kind of close. to Mr. Uzumaki, but I wouldn't say she's close enough for him to risk his life or endanger his integrity."
—"Do you still think the boy could against Sasuke?"
— "I don't think so; I know he could. Among all of us he is the only one who has managed to confront Sasuke. Mr. Uzumaki is actually very mysterious."
—"What are you talking about?". Glynda spoke.
Ozpin opened a folder on his computer screen:— "According to Mr. Uzumaki's background, he graduated from Empire Academy at the age of 13. That's very impressive for someone his age, but here's the funny thing: I have friends." in all kinds of places and when I went to investigate this boy I was surprised that they did not know or have seen anyone with the characteristics of Mr. Uzumaki. They had a very specific history that supported what he studied there, but no teacher had seen anyone similar. Naruto Uzumaki at his academy hadn't even been taught. And that means one of two things: that Naruto's background is obviously fake or that the teachers really hated Naruto so much that they didn't even pay attention to him. And I'm leaning more towards. believe the false background part, because no one would be stupid enough to not notice someone with the potential of Naruto Uzumaki."
—"And shouldn't we be a little, I don't know, alarmed by that information," said James. — "He is very powerful; he studies here and from what was mentioned before, there is a possibility that he is allied with Salem."
—"I consider it that way too; frankly I'm afraid to assume that it's really true."
—"Where is he now?" James asked.
Ozpin entered a password into his computer and entered the security cameras. — "Right now he is training."
They saw the image of Naruto Uzumaki training with the combat robots, none of those machines reached Naruto Uzumaki. He simply dodged them masterfully as if he knew where they would attack, with strong and precise blows he incapacitated the robots. A robot snuck around the corner of him, but Naruto, without even seeing it, raised his hand and formed a ball of chakra and collided with the robot.
The machine didn't stand a chance, breaking into pieces and crashing into the nearby wall.
Glynda pouted, all that damage she had to repair, any attempt to hire a repair company would cost too much and take too much time.
—"It's a curious attack," Qrow narrowed his eyes.
— "The rasengan," said Glynda, "concentrates a large amount of Aura in your hand in the shape of a sphere."
—"Is it that simple?" James asked.
— "No, it's much more complex than that," Glynda concentrated on remembering the details of executing the technique. —You need rotation, power and control, as Mr. Uzumaki explains it, you expel the Aura in different directions making a kind of whirlpool, all this power is compressed into a sphere and there you pour all the power necessary to carry out the attack."
—"Did Mr. Uzumaki tell you all that?"
—"Yes".
—It was very collaborative on their part."
— "Yes, I was also surprised by James, when he spoke freely about that technique."
Ozpin put a hand on his desk, " but apparently it doesn't matter if we know it or not. We've tried to replicate it ourselves, but nothing, you need absolute aura control, plus large amounts of aura. I have the best aura control anywhere." 4 and I still have a hard time maintaining that technique, it would be different if I did it with magic But that would waste too much energy, so I'll stop trying."
— "It's most convenient. We need your magic in case things get difficult," Qrow said, grabbing his flask and taking a sip of his alcoholic drink.
—"Now what?". James asked.
—"We continue as we are, we will call Miss Nikos once the double fights are over."
— "And regarding Mr. Uzumaki," Ozpin looked at his screen and almost jumped. Well, Naruto was facing the camera, as if he knew that Ozpin was watching him.
The four members of that room became very tense, they looked directly at the screen waiting for Uzumaki's actions, they were a little intrigued to know what was happening, they knew that Naruto was perceptive but not to this level.
Then they saw how Naruto smiled slightly. Ozpin was starting to become very suspicious of him, and at that moment, suddenly, the chamber went dark for a while and that's when they became alarmed. But in a second the image of Naruto appeared again. And so on for a few more seconds.
They noticed that Naruto was just cleaning the chamber and then he smirked.
They also saw a very curious action, the entire training field was somewhat destroyed and Naruto began to clean it, the Uzumaki had cement, wood and some other construction tools with him and began to repair the combat arena.
None of the four looked away from the screen, they watched Naruto's every action with great care, he did an excellent job of construction, as if he were a master.
—"Now it turns out that this idiot also knows about repairs. Is there anything this young man doesn't do well?" Qrow sighed angrily.
—"Yes, but why are you repairing the combat arena? Eventually, another student will come and destroy it," James said.
— "Out of courtesy... I suppose?" Ozpin asked without knowing the reason for Naruto's actions, the mere act of repairing the combat arena is completely useless.
Suddenly, the three men in the room opened their eyes and understood why he did it.
—"oooooh, yes, for Glynda," the three said at the same time.
—"What?" asked the only woman in the group confused.
/-/
Naruto wiped the sweat from his forehead with his left hand, "Wow," he waited and looked at the security camera that was well hidden in the room, Ozpin thought he wouldn't notice, but it was impossible not to notice those things. ".
— "This is going to impress her . "
—" I still don't understand why you do this . "
— "It's to stay on Miss Goodwicht's good side. I just want her to see that I make an effort to minimize her work, and thus look good to her . "
— "You already have her in the palm of your hand, Naruto, if for some reason you decided to act rebellious in her classes she wouldn't scold you, she would only worry about you. That kind of favoritism you have from her .
Naruto began putting away each construction instrument and cleaning up the debris made from repairing the entire combat area.
—"Guys, have you come to see me?"
—"Yes, we were looking for you but you didn't show up. So we assumed you were training as usual." Ren said with a flat and calm look, but with a sympathetic smile.
—"Seriously Naruto, you should stop, you said you were going to take things calmly, but apparently you don't."
—"Okay, this is just for this moment, we are in the Vital festival and we have to ensure victory."
—"Really, Naruto?" Nora said with a very rare flat look on her, —"with everything you did in Vale, I don't know any student who can do what you do, obviously you will be the winner of this festival." "Unless, of course, Jaune somehow gets a Power up and manages to beat you. But I highly doubt it."
—"Haha, how clever, Nora, if it weren't for the fact that you are my friend and you would surely break my legs, I would propose to you right now."
—"Imbecile".
Pyrrha approached Naruto, she was in front of him and had a worried face, —"Look at you Naruto, you're all dirty."
He touched Naruto's shirt and some kind of powder stayed between his fingers. — "Is this cement? What were you doing?"
—"Well, I destroyed the training room a bit, so I started repairing it."
Pyrrha sighed and put a hand to her forehead. — "Miss Goodwicht takes care of this, she will always repair it..."
—"I just wanted to do a good deed for her!" He said it so loudly that Glynda would surely hear it."
—"... P-Pyrrha... back up a little." Naruto carefully moved the redhead away from his side. —"I'm very dirty and I don't think you want to get dirty, do you?"
— "I don't care about that," he said smiling and approached Naruto and placed a hand on the young blonde's chest. —"No matter what you are, I will always be here by your side. I will not separate from you."
Naruto blushed a little. — "This is very strange, Pyrrha has been acting very clingy these last few days. It's not that I dislike her, but it's very strange . "
— "Yes ," said Kurama, agreeing with his jailer. — "She has acted too close to you, too close, she is very clingy. What could she be?" , Kurama spoke with amused sarcasm.
— "Maybe he wants something from me?"
— "Idiot" , Kurama really couldn't understand the idiocy of his jailer.
—"Pyrrha, could you get away from me? This is a little uncomfortable."
—"What's wrong, Naruto?" Pyrrha's voice became low and soft. — "Don't you want me near you?" She pouted at him and her eyes shone slightly as if she wanted to cry.
—"No, no, no! Pyrrha," Naruto said a little alarmed. —"Of course I like that you're like this. I like that you're with me, but I..."
—"Don't you want me to be close to you, Naruto? Just tell me and I'll leave."
— "No, no, no, you can stay here, however you want," Naruto approached the redhead and gave her a hug even though he was dirty and stained. — "Sorry for how dirty I am, I hope you don't mind."
—"I don't care, I like being with you like this."
Naruto patted the redhead's head with some intrigue and confusion, he really didn't understand how a girl like her doesn't care about being dirty. Maybe it's the whole huntress thing.
Ren and Nora watched that whole scene and had a flat look on their faces. They still didn't fully understand Naruto.
— "It seems like you haven't realized it yet, right?" said Nora.
— "Yeah, he hasn't realized why Pyrrha has been so clingy to him these last few days. Seriously, this idiot is going to be the death of us one day, Nora."
Nora simply nodded her head understanding what Ren was talking about.
[retrospective scene].
Naruto came out of his training. He was a little sweaty and tired, but nothing special. He was looking for his friends to see if they would accompany him on his next training routine. Although he knew the answer, it didn't hurt to try. He searched everywhere, but found no one.
He entered the library for some reason and found Pyrrha there. She was asleep on the table, along with a large stack of books.
Naruto smiled sweetly and approached the redhead. He pulled out a chair and sat next to him. He wasn't going to read anything or study anything, he just put a hand on his cheek and stared at the redhead.
I was still very impressed by this world, but I was especially struck by something: most of these women were beautiful, very beautiful. You could say the majority, even older women.
And let's not talk about the men, everyone here was handsome. The first time he was here he felt a little self-conscious, as he didn't feel confident about his appearance compared to others, but that was something he had managed to overcome a long time ago.
Naruto smiled very happily, his heart warmed when he saw Pyrrha's state: safe, very calm, without the worries in the world. Seeing his friends safe from him always made him feel good.
Naruto brought his free hand to the redhead's cheek and caressed it. Her skin was soft like silk or a flower petal. Naruto sighed as he felt Pyrrha's cheeks. He could caress her for a lifetime if she gave him the chance.
—"Maybe I don't tell you this very often, Pyrrha, but I really appreciate everything you've done for me. I'm also grateful to Nora and Ren, but my gratitude goes mainly to you. I really appreciate you meddling in my affairs, that you investigated my personal life. My life was not easy, I went through very hard times. I am very grateful that you interfered, that you were so persistent, that you were so kind to a person like me. When I finally released everything I had inside. of me, I was free, I felt at peace".
Naruto began to smile,— "Yesterday's date was fun. I enjoyed it a lot, I hope to repeat it sometime Pyrrha, if you want, of course."
The room was silent, Naruto was thankful that no one was in the library, he would have died of embarrassment if anyone had heard him.
—"You know what? I love your red hair, it's beautiful, it's fascinating how it wobbles in the wind."
—"I love it when you fight, you look so fierce, so, like you're some kind of being completely unattainable to me. And that gives me a feeling of longing, I don't know how to explain it Pyrrha. But you're great."
—"Maybe they tell you a lot, but I want you to know that that's what I feel when I see you. Even when you sleep you look beautiful."
Naruto's voice became a little low, as if he was whispering a secret. —"Look at you now, you're asleep here."
Naruto unconsciously moved his body closer to Pyrrha's and his face slowly approached the sleeping redhead's. —"It's very careless of you to be like this in the library, you look so helpless."
Naruto moved closer and closer to the sleeping beauty, his face slowly getting closer to the redhead's lips. —"You should be much more careful or I could take advantage of this situation."
Naruto was so close, so close to taking Pyrrha's lips, but as if cold water had been poured on him, he opened his eyes and forced himself to step back in agitation.
The chair hit the floor hard and the sound spread throughout the silent room. It was a surprise that Pyrrha hadn't woken up.
From the ground, Naruto saw the body of the redhead who was still sleeping. He had an agitated and incomprehensible expression, his eyes were wide open.
He was trying to process the idiotic thing he was about to do, there were only a few inches left and he would have done something unforgivable.
—"W-What was that?" Naruto asked in total confusion and surprise, he quickly got up from the ground and ran out of the library. His heart was pounding, for a moment he thought it was going to explode.
What Naruto didn't notice was that Nora and Ren were watching that scene with their mouths open.
[End flashback]
Nora looked at the scene that Pyrrha and Naruto were making, she had an amused smile.— "Oh, Naruto, you didn't realize, but in reality Pyrrha wasn't asleep and that's why she's acting like that. Before she tried to keep her distance, she always tried to keep her be a little cautious with you, so as not to damage your friendship, because Pyrrha had the feeling that you had no interest in her, but when that incident in the library happened, Pyrrha decided to change her focus, she decided to be more active, since now she knows that you have a certain attraction towards her."
She was so deep in thought that she didn't notice that Naruto and Pyrrha were already close to her and calling out to her. —"Oh yeah? Sorry, I was thinking about sloths and pancakes, what's up, Naruto?"
—"Come on, unless you want to train."
—"Shall we go now? I thought you two were busy cuddling like two lovebirds." Nora said amused.
Pyrrha blushed quite red and looked away.
—"Are you trying to embarrass me? It won't work on me, Nora."
— "That's what you say, but your face is blushing ," Ren thought in his mind.
The creak of the door opening was heard, everyone turned towards the entrance and saw something very surprising.
Nora and Pyrrha made a complicated face with a little worry.
Ren and Naruto just frowned at what they were seeing.
Cardin slowly approached Naruto, that wouldn't have been a problem, if it weren't for the fact that he was bloody, he had large bruises on his face, a black left eye, and some traces of blood coming from his nose. He was a mess, worse than the beating Naruto gave him that time when he was angry.
—"Cardin!" Naruto said a little worried, he approached the orange haired man and put a hand on his face to carefully inspect the wounds. —"Dude, are you...? You look good, you look good," Naruto said to minimize the situation.
—"I look like shit Naruto, you don't have to hide it."
—"Yes, you are a disaster, what happened to you Cardin?"
—"Jejeje good".
—"Cardin! What happened to you?" Nora shouted: —"Don't tell me you got in trouble?"
—"No guys, it was nothing like that, you know that now I can control my temper. I'm not like I was before."
—"We know, we're not insinuating anything," Ren said with an understanding smile, he started to like Cardin, in all this time he's known this boy he realized that he has changed a lot, and for the better.
—"What Nora tried to imply is that maybe someone insulted Velvet and they got into a fight. Sounds like something you would do now."
—"Yes! Who was it? Some transfer student?! Let's break their legs!"
Cardin smiled a little pitifully, —"Well, Velvet and I told Coco about our relationship."
—"Oooooh," they all said at the same time, understanding what had happened.
—"Yeah, she didn't take it very well and the other members of Velvet's team didn't take it very well either. So, well, you'll understand what happened."
—"Wow, but why? There was no need for this," Naruto expressed his opinion.
Cardin put on a flat look. It was very strange to see that look on a face so completely destroyed. —"If I had a sister, and that sister was harassed by some bastard and suddenly the idiot wants to change and date my sister. I'd be upset too, Naruto," Cardin sighed, —"I understand, I understand your anger."
—"And how is Velvet?" Naruto asked.
—"She is with my team, she doesn't want to know anything about her team."
—"I see, you have it complicated." Pyrrha spoke.
—"Yes, but we'll get through it, I just hope Velvet doesn't start to develop a hatred towards her team. We have to keep things calm."
Naruto smiled widely and hugged Cardin by the neck, since Cardin was taller, he had to bend down a little.
—"Congratulations, friend. Maybe it didn't turn out as you expected, but now you have one less obstacle."
Cardin smiled brightly, —"Thanks friend."
—"You know what? We're going to celebrate, today we're going to go to Vale, we're going to enjoy tonight."
—"Really, Naruto? I don't think this is the right time."
— "The timing is never right, you learned it the hard way."
Cardin's doubt had simply disappeared and he began to smile happily. — "You know what? Yes, let's celebrate. After all, I won my match and moved on to the next round."
— "That's the spirit, Cardin. Let's go to an expensive restaurant. I'll treat you, don't worry, I'll pay for everything."
— "Thanks, friend. It wasn't necessary. But wouldn't it be better to go to a disco?"
— "I don't think so. We're going to go to a restaurant, it's something healthy and calm. I don't think your girlfriend would really like you being in a nightclub after what happened."
—"You're right".
— "We'll all go: my team, team RWBY; your team and Jaune's team. We're going to have a great time."

Jaune didn't consider himself a very disciplined man. You could say that in many ways he was the laziest man you could ever meet.
But when he was focused, when he concentrated on a goal, he was the most tenacious man there could be. He would not rest or give a truce until he completed what he had been entrusted with, until he fulfilled his dreams.
Many of his friends at Atlas and his team suggested, begged him to stop, to take it easy. But Jaune couldn't afford to rest or take it easy, his dream was within his grasp and he had to keep moving forward and moving forward.
For so many years in his childhood he was told that he was inadequate, weak and that he did not have the material to be a hunter, many times he believed those words. But now that he was here, he had the chance to be as great as his ancestors and he was not going to waste this opportunity, he did not have that luxury, he had a legacy to fulfill and a promise to rectify.
—" 745...746"
—"I wish my team gave me as much freedom as you. I'm tied by the balls and I can't do anything without them getting upset."
Naruto was on the terrace with Jaune, he finally managed to find him. The Arc boy was training, he didn't do anything special, he just did some push-ups, there was nothing strange about that. The only problem was that he had a weight stamp stuck on his back. The same one Naruto used on Qrow.
Jaune, even with this amount of weight, smiled when he saw his friend. — "Hello Naruto, are you coming to accompany me on my night exercise?"
— "I would like to, but pass, I was looking for you for something else. We are going to Vale to celebrate Cardin's victory, I don't know if you want to join us."
— " Yes, no problem" . Jaune immediately stood up off the ground, an incredible feat despite having all that weight on him. Jaune put a hand behind his back and managed to pull the strange paper out of him.
—"I'm surprised how these things work, Naruto, you should sell them, you would be very rich."
— "Hahaha, maybe I'll consider it in the future, but not right now."
Jaune always carried a small suitcase with him and from there he took out a towel and began to wipe off the sweat.
—"Well, can I invite my team and Ciel?"
—"Of course, everyone will come, except the CFVY team..., it's complicated."
—"I see, then I won't investigate further."
—" thank you" .
The two boys remained in a comfortable silence, they both understood each other very well, they often felt inadequate before the world. Many times they were told that they could not be more than what they already were, simple trash. But little by little they made their way through the world, with a lot of effort, but they would reach the end. They would fulfill their dreams, well, at least one would help the other fulfill their dream.
The two young men looked towards the broken moon, Naruto was still fascinated by that sight, the moon of his world was completely circular and beautiful, but this moon, the moon of the Remnant had a certain magical charm.
—"I still wonder how the moon ended up like this." Naruto said. —"It's not like my house."
Jaune raised an eyebrow blankly, —"What, Naruto?" .
Naruto, aware of what he was saying, internally hit his head, —"nothing, it's just that I heard a theory on the internet, and well, they were saying something about the Grimm coming from the moon and that's why it looks like that."
— " I see" .
The broken moon reflected in the two boys' eyes, they were smiling widely, a camaraderie that Naruto really didn't think he would have since Sasuke.
Jaune sighed and a wide smile spread across his face, — "Thank you, Naruto, for everything you have done for me. Thanks to you I have my dream at my fingertips, I never thought it was possible, but now I can be a hero, as my grandfather told me in his stories"
—" On the contrary, Jaune, Naruto interrupted the young blonde. —" I should thank you, thank your family for helping me at that time when they didn't have to. I thank you for being my friend, in the grand scheme of things. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here and I wouldn't have any of this. Thank you so much" .
—"It seems that neither of them accepts the other's gratitude," Jaune snorted in amusement.
— "I guess we're that proud."
They laughed out loud, they loved these moments alone, they loved training together and above all they appreciated their friendship.
—"I'll go look for my team." Jaune Arc began to walk towards the exit, but Naruto called out to him before he could approach the door.
—" Jaune" .
—"What's wrong Naruto?" , Then, in his direction an object was approaching and Jaune caught said object with his left hand and inspected it. It was a necklace with a green gem, beautiful.
—"Naruto, is this...?" Jaune was surprised.
—"Yes, now it's yours, I want you to have it."
— "No, Naruto, I can't accept it, this is important to you."
— "Accept it, Jaune," Naruto smiled happily. —"The creator of that necklace was someone incredible, he did impressive things in his life, and I think you will too. You are destined for that, in the not too distant future you will be the greatest hero Remnant has ever known and I will be there to see it ".
For a few seconds the image of his grandfather replaced the figure of Naruto, he remembered his grandfather's words and the stories he told him, he told him that he was destined to be great, to be the greatest hero of all.
He felt homesick, throughout his life they told him no, that he couldn't and won't be able to, that he would never be a hero. But this boy, Naruto, believed in him from the beginning, he believed that he could do it. For a few moments he was on the verge of crying, but he resisted.
— "T-Thank you Naruto, I'll go see my team," his voice broke, he finally managed to get off that roof. The last thing he wanted was for Naruto to see him cry, he knew he wouldn't make fun of him, but he still didn't want to cry in front of his friend.
Naruto watched as Jaune left that rooftop.
— "Why did you give him the necklace Naruto?" Kurama was very curious about the Uzumaki's action.
—"Grandma Tsunade gave me that necklace because she believed that one day I would become Hokage. Well, that can't be done. I'm here, but I trust that Jaune's dream will come true, he will be the greatest hero and that necklace It's a sign that I believe in him."
— "You humans are very sentimental," Kurama mocked.
Naruto simply raised his hands, — "What can I tell you, that's how we are, we all feel something, even the demons."

The trip to Vale was relatively uneventful, the only hiccup was that Jaune forgot to take his motion sickness pills. It was not pleasant to see a child vomiting during the entire trip.
—" You're done?" Naruto asked as he saw a blonde boy crouching in a trash can, throwing up everything he had.
—"Yes, I'm done," Jaune stood up and wiped his mouth with his hand. Her face was pale, — "let's eat, oh my Oum, I vomited everything I had."
—"Where are we going?" Rubí asked.
—"Mayer reserved a table at a restaurant called Paradise."
¡Primmmmm!, ¡primmmmm!
— "aaaah...Velvet, you have a call."
—"I know, and I know who they are, let them go to hell." Velvet spoke with so much venom that everyone unconsciously backed away.
Yang took advantage of the situation, surreptitiously grabbing Naruto's wrist and dragging him away from everyone. No one noticed because they were focused on going to their destination and for Velvet.
A few minutes passed and Jaune finally noticed Naruto's absence.—"Hey, what about Naruto?"
Everyone stopped, looked around, but Naruto Uzumaki was not there.
—"And Yang?" said Rubí with a low and trembling voice.
—"Oh no, we have to look for those stupid ones:, Ren sighed, —"Naruto and Yang, it's a recipe for disaster.
/-/
—"Why are we here, Yang?"
Naruto and Yang Xiaolong were in Junior's club. Naruto really could have just incapacitated Yang and dragged her to where the others were, but he decided to see where the blonde would take him, out of curiosity, and it was none other than Junior's club.
—"Well, for fun!" , his joy of her was truly contagious.
—"Yes, but we were going to a restaurant to do specifically that."
—"I know, I just... well... you're very tense, I need a drink too. A lot has happened these last few days and I never properly apologized for the words I said."
— "I told you it doesn't matter, forget it."
—"Well, in any case, we are going to celebrate just the two of us. It will only be for an hour and then we will go with the boys, they still have to go to a restaurant. Then they will be there."
—"Good point," Naruto hid his scroll, he was about to call the others.
They were in a private room, so to speak, obviously paid for by Naruto Uzumaki of course. A waitress arrived that Naruto knew very well since she had worked here a long time ago.
— "Thanks for the drinks Carla."
—"Don't worry, Naruto-kun, I haven't seen you in a long time, it's good to see you." She smiled mischievously and stepped back, moving her hips so Naruto could see her.
— "Yang, you know I don't drink, right?" .
—"Come on, relax Naruto. Or are you afraid."
—"That's not going to work with me, Yang." ...the blonde sighed. —"I will not drink alcohol."
—" Please" .
—" No" .
—" Please" .
—" No"
—"Please, please, please," Yang insisted.
—" No" .
—" Please." She pouted and her eyes began to shine.
—"It's okay! It's okay." Naruto really was weak against women, —"I'll take it, but only one, okay?" .
—" Yeah!" , she shouted happily.
It's the first time Naruto has had a drink in his life, and it tasted horrible. Naruto slammed the glass on the table once he finished drinking its contents. —"Damn, this doesn't taste good."
—"Another one, take another one."
—"But just say one, Yang."
—"Another!, another!, another!" Yang encouraged his blonde friend.
—"Okay! Just another one," and Naruto took another sip of alcohol. He finished it quickly, — "Stop it, let's go."
—"How boring Naruto," he smiled maliciously, —"another drink and we'll leave."
Naruto started drinking his third glass and that's how it started. With the completion of the third glass of alcohol, others followed, until 12 glasses were drunk. He didn't know why, he didn't like the taste of alcohol, but he still drank it.
I didn't know if I was already drunk, I didn't feel the symptoms. In fact he was fine, it was just a little hot. Aside from that, if anyone saw Naruto they would think he was sober.
—" You're beautiful, Yang" .
Unlike the Uzumaki, Yang wasn't even dizzy from the alcohol as she only drank two glasses and then pretended to drink. She just wanted Naruto to relax and what better way than to make him drink himself unconscious.
—"Hahaha, where did that come from, Naruto?"
— "You have beautiful eyes, you are incredible, a woman of almost unreal beauty." Naruto rested his hand on his chin.
—"Stop it, Naruto, stop. The alcohol is already starting to affect you. But you're always this shameless."
—"I admire you."
Yang shook off slingshot. She was expecting another compliment but not this.
— "I don't want them to think anything bad about me. But after investigating on my own, with the little you've told me, I know what happened to your mother."
Yang lowered her head a little upon hearing that topic. She didn't like to talk much about Summer's death.
— "And that's why I admire you a lot. You lost your mother at a very young age and you had to take care of Ruby."
Yang smiled a little wistfully, —"I tried my best. But I guess I didn't do a good job."
— "Don't worry about it, Ruby is an amazing woman. Believe me, there are mothers who have raised children who are complete idiots, but Ruby grew up with good values, she is a determined woman and her heart is in the right place. Being socially awkward It's something you can forgive him for."
—"Hehehe," Yang didn't know how to respond, she started to feel something in her stomach, maybe it was the alcohol.
—"You're cruel, Yang, you let me fall in love with you, it should be illegal to be so beautiful."
—"Stop it, Uzumaki," Yang never believed she would be embarrassed by some simple cheesy phrases.
—"Apparently you're not used to being flattered very often, I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable," Naruto caressed Yang's cheek.
—"I always try to forget you and find you again, my golden dragon. If I were a knight I would not go for the princess, I would go for the indomitable dragon, I would go for that fierce and unattainable love."
—"Hehehe," Yang was red, —"You seem normal but you're drunk."
—"I'm fine, I'm fine," Naruto dismissed,—"You know what? Bring me another round of alcohol."
—"Okay, if you say so," Yang personally went to the bar to order their drinks. He wanted the blush he had on his face to go away.
— "Another round of drinks, Junior.".
The bartender narrowed his eyes in amusement, — "Naruto doesn't seem to be drunk, it would be interesting to see him like this. Drink this drink, it's the strongest. I'd like to see what happens if he gets drunk."
Yang returned a mischievous smile, —"Well, let's see."
She then brought the drinks to the table where Naruto was, but his eyes widened. Naruto Uzumaki was not there.
/-/
—"How did Naruto get lost?!" , Weiss Schnee shouted, very furious and angry.
Yang flinched at that scream.
—"I can not believe it!" , She shouted even louder, if that were possible. —"I can't believe how irresponsible your actions are! How is it possible that you dragged him away from us and took him to a nightclub! And made him drink!"
—"Weiss, I...", Yang tried to justify herself, tried to apologize, but it wasn't possible. Weiss was too angry.
—"Silence! And the worst thing wasn't that! The worst thing of all is that Naruto got lost!" .
—"But it wasn't my fault! I only left him for a few seconds, I went to get another round of drinks that he ordered himself and when I came back he was gone."
—"First of all, if you hadn't taken Naruto to a nightclub, that wouldn't have happened," Pyrrha said with a frown and her arms crossed.
—"I just wanted him to relax, he was a little tense these last few days, I just wanted to do something good," Yang defended.
— "We were going to go to a restaurant," Ren said, — "to celebrate. We were about to go do that, specifically to relax."
—"I bet Naruto fervently refused to drink alcohol. But you pressured him and he couldn't say no, right?" Velvet said with a smile on her face. She was downright worried about her friend but still amused by the situation.
—"Why is everyone looking at me like it's my fault?" Yang screamed, offended.
Everyone looked at Yang like she was stupid.
—"Oh, poor Naruto, I just hope nothing happens to him," Weiss said, very worried about the blonde. —"Let's go look for him now."
—"Yeah!" , everyone said and separated in different directions looking for Naruto Uzumaki. The desperation was so great that it did not occur to them that they could call him first.
They searched everywhere, asking random people if they had seen a young blonde, but none of them seemed to have seen Naruto Uzumaki. Almost two hours passed and they had found nothing. When everyone gathered they gave their report, it was bad news, they had not found a single clue of Naruto Uzumaki.
— "By Oum, by Oum, I hope you're okay," Weiss walked from one place to another quickly in despair.
— "aah... um... Why don't we call him?" Ren said, and suddenly everyone's eyes widened, they felt stupid, they should have done that first.
Nora lit her scroll and called out to her leader, Naruto didn't respond, two minutes passed and Naruto didn't respond, they were starting to get very worried, and suddenly he finally spoke.
—" 《 Hello... Yes? 》".
Everyone was cheerful and happy, actually more relieved, but Naruto sounded agitated.
—"Naruto? Is that you?" Weiss asked, very concerned for the Uzumaki's safety.
–...
—" 《Weiss, hello... How are you?》" .
—" Naruto" ...
—" 《💗 Aaah! Oooh! Ahhh! Ahhh! Aaaaahhh!, m-tighter...! Hold me tighter... haaahhhaahhh... !💗》.
Everyone stiffened, they didn't move, their eyes were wide open. They really didn't see this coming.
—"..Naruto", Pyrrha spoke brokenly, her voice is shaky, she couldn't believe what she was hearing in the background of the call.
—"《...What?..Yes,...I'm sorry Pyrrha, am I exercising?》".
—"《💗Oooghh!..mmmm!..Naruto-kun, mm, hang up the call, focus on me》".
Everyone was very blushing, Rubí covered her mouth in shame, she may seem innocent, but she is not a saint, she recognized that sound
—" 《💗Harder!,... Please!💗》" .
No one moved, they were rigid, absorbed by the sound of that call. Nora didn't even think about ending the call. Truly, this was inappropriate to hear.
—"N-Naruto"..., Nora said with a trembling voice, but Naruto did not respond."
—" 《💗P-Please... wait... wait...!" N-Not so...!💗 》"
The woman Naruto was with started moaning louder.
— "Naruto", and the Uzumaki still did not respond.
—" 《💗I-I'm your wife... oooiihh!" I'm your wife, oghoohh!💗》"
There was just loud banging and a lot of moaning and some screaming in the background.
—" 《💗Ooohhh ohhhhh!", A-Incredible...!, Y-You're so rude...! I'm about to cum...💗》".
—"Naruto!" Nora shouted louder.
— "《Oh, sorry, sorry, I'm a little busy here. I'll call you tomorrow, okay? I have a guest here and it would be rude not to give him my full attention." He hung up the call.
The silence is deathly, they were very embarrassed, everyone's skin was red. They had to break that silence somehow, and Jaune was the brave one.
— "I guess dinner is cancelled."

I hope you liked this chapter as much as I did.
I want to apologize for any spelling errors this text may have. It's the first fanfic I've written and I would love to receive your feedback with tips and suggestions to improve my story. This is the English version of my Spanish story, which has some changes from the original. I don't know English, I used a damn translator and I must say that this story does not respect the original canon of the RWBY series.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to your opinions.
