"I am the strongest in the world right now."

Were the final words Sasuke remembered saying with absolution until he got taken out of the Elemental Nations forever..well that's at least what he'd thought.

Once he killed Naruto, he had plans. Plans to kill all the Kage. Plans to kill all the Tailed Beasts because he already had all their Chakra. Lastly he planned to establish unity across all the ninja world under his command. The one and only superior Kage.

But life had other plans.

Now he sat in a office across from a man. A man named Ozpin that had hair that reminded him of his old sensei, Kakashi. He was clad in green all around and had on glasses. He was sipping coffee from his mug as he stared at him with interest.

Interest that he was more than familiar with. Orochimaru used to stare at him with similar interest because he wanted his Sharingans. Obito stared at him like that because he was glad to have someone to manipulate and use as a tool.

Now he didn't know what exactly this man wanted from him, but his head will fly from his shoulders if he think he could manipulate him or use him as a tool.

"So basically you're telling me, long ago you wished that these 'brother Gods' give you someone strong enough to help change the tides of this war? And now your wish is finally fulfilled because they gave you me??" He questioned as he summarized what Ozpin told him.

He didn't know who these 'brother Gods' were either, but he wondered how exactly they were able to pull someone like him from the Elemental Nations to this new world. They had to have been powerful and strong.

Ozpin nodded. "Indeed Mr. Uchiha. I wished for them to send someone random, but strong and powerful. It looks like they finally decided to send someone, that person being you." Ozpin responded.

"So why should I fight for a war I don't have anything to do with??" Sasuke asked with narrowed eyes. This question was on his mind since the beginning. He literally just got done fighting in a war in his own home world. Now he was asked to fight in another that had nothing to do with him?? Fortunately for Ozpin, he was genuinely curious about this world and its inhabitants because if he wasn't, he would have killed Ozpin and these 'brother Gods.'

Ozpin adjusted his glasses. He knew he had to phrase his next words carefully or it could cost him this chance or even potentially his life.

"..It's because we really need your help Mr. Uchiha. Unfortunately if we lose this war, it could be the end of Remnant as a whole. The people need the strength and power of a hero and I believe that hero is you." He said.

How selfish.

"So I get pulled out of my world without my consent to fight in a war I have nothing to do with and now you want to use me as some pawn??" Sasuke said with a growl and slight coldness in his tone.

Ozpin's eyes slightly widened as he felt a foreign cold and heavy pressure directed towards his being. This man was very dangerous. He had to calm him down.

"You have me misunderstood Mr. Uchiha I only want your help." Ozpin reassured him.

"Is that why you want to enroll me in this academy of yours? So you can watch my every move??" Sasuke questioned him again. Don't get him wrong, he knew Ozpin was telling the truth even without his Dojutsu activated, and he also knew he had good intentions, but the man reminded him of Danzo. He would do anything necessary to win this 'war' as long as it was hidden with good intentions. That type of person was dangerous. Just look at what happened to his clan.

"It's your decision Mr. Uchiha. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do." Ozpin responded.

Clever. Smart answer. Even though he didn't answer his question, but Sasuke already knew the answer. He glanced down in contemplation.

His thoughts first went to his old world. From the looks of it, there was no way for him to go back right now. Even if he did go back, what was left for him? He was sure Naruto has found some way to release the Shinobi from the Infinite Tsukuyomi by now and he was probably going to search for him. He doubt Naruto would reach him anyways. It's not like he would be welcomed with open arms. It's not like the people of the Elemental Nations would celebrate his name. Especially because of Madara and Obito. There was no redeeming the Uchiha name. They were feared, hated, evil and infamous.

A sudden thought then came into his mind. What if he could change that in this new world?

What if he could let the darkness and vengeance he was so consumed by go and bring admiration and celebration to the Uchiha name?

But was this new world worth it was the question. He would have to find out. He would have to see what in this world was worth protecting and fighting for.

If he didn't find anything and if his time was wasted, then he would destroy this world and continue on from there.

But if he found his answer, then he would direct his steps..toward the light.

Look at him, being like the loser. It was almost laughable.

Ozpin patiently and attentively watched as thoughts played out in Sasuke's head. It seems like he finally came to a conclusion.

Sasuke raised his eyes back up at Ozpin. "I accept your offer. I only want to be on a team by myself. I get to chose if I want to or don't want to attend classes and lastly, have the freedom to do whatever I want to do." He said. He didn't want Ozpin to think he had too much control over his movements. Even though he didn't because either way he would do what he wanted to, but that was all he wanted, at least for now.

Ozpin nodded. "I was going to put you on a team by yourself anyways, but you still have to go through initiation because it's our policy. For the other two I only ask that you attend classes at least most of the time and as long as you abide by the rules."

Sasuke nodded in response. That was fair and if he didn't want to attend, he could use Shadow Clones. He figured the 'initiation' was to test students skills and potential. That wouldn't be a problem for him.

"With that being said, welcome to Beacon Academy Mr.Uchiha." Ozpin offered him a grin.

-Cutscene-

"Here's your room, Mr. Uchiha." Professor Goodwitch said as she looked at Sasuke with interest. 'So this is the young man of 'prophecy?'' She thought as she gave him a once over. He looked to be very strong and experienced, but she will know soon enough once his initiation starts in the morning time.

Sasuke nodded in thanks to her and entered the room.

It was very spacious for a single bed room. It was bland and plain, but it would be suitable and livable for now. It was way more better than the concrete beds he slept on when he went to train with Orochimaru.

He placed his new scroll and new clothes that Ozpin gave him down on the dresser. The clothes was the Beacon Academy uniform and a regular fitted black t-shirt and matching sweatpants. Ozpin gave him some Lien to go buy some more suitable attire for him. He would most definitely visit Vale sometime soon, once he gained knowledge on this world of course.

He then placed his Kusanagi sword and sheathe in the corner. Luckily, somehow his favorite weapon was with him once he came into this new world. He was glad because he thought he lost it forever.

He gave another confused glance to this 'scroll.' It wasn't like the scrolls he was used to, far from it. It was like a..machine if you will. Ozpin gave him a fast tutorial on how to use it and he was surprised of how advanced it was compared to what was in the Elemental Nations.

He released a long deep breath.

He felt drained. He didn't eat for days. He fought nonstop in the war, against a Goddess, and then against Naruto. His Chakra also needed to be replenished.

His initiation was in the morning time, so he still had a couple hours he could get some rest.

He would definitely take a shower and get himself together first.

-Cutscene-

Sasuke's eyes snapped open to the loud alarm ringing right beside him. He pressed it with quickness to turn it off.

He glanced at the time. It looks like he overslept a bit. Fortunately not to the point when his initiation time started. Ozpin told him that he would send Professor Goodwitch to get him before it began.

He felt his Chakra reserves. They weren't 100% yet, but his Chakra replenished a good bit from yesterday. It also seemed like it replenished at a faster rate now which was good.

He looked at the Moon seal on his left hand. Luckily he still had the Yin-Release Chakra inside of him. He could also feel the newly enhanced Hashirama Cells inside him that Kabuto pumped into him when he was healing his wound.

He was sure it was one of the reasons he was mostly healed and his faster Chakra replenishing.

He wondered if he could get another Eternal Rinnegan now that he had the Hashirama Cells inside him.

He decided that he would think on it later.

He stood up and grabbed his Kusanagi and strapped it to his new black sweatpants with the durable purple rope. He already had on the new fitted black t-shirt Ozpin gave him and he put on his regular black Shinobi sandals.

He then got his hygiene together and looked at himself in the mirror.

'Not bad' he thought as he nodded in approval.

Knock Knock Knock

He was right on time too as he could sense Professor Glynda on the outside of his door.

He walked to the door and opened it.

"Are you ready for your initiation Mr. Uchiha?" Glynda said as she adjusted her glasses looking at him.

Sasuke nodded and then the two left.

He was ready to get this over with as he wanted to get knowledge and understanding of Remnant.

-Cutscene-

Team RWBY, Team JNPR, and Team CRDL sat in the amphitheater as they waited to watch the new male student's initiation.

"So do you guys think the new guy is strong? I wonder if he has a cool weapon.." Ruby thought with her hand on her chin as she initiated conversation.

"Hopefully he's strong or this would've been a huge waste of our time." Weiss scoffed as she crossed her arms.

"Cheer up Weisscream. I for one hope he's handsome because Beacon could use some new eye candy." Yang said as she smiled.

"I wonder if he's a Faunus? And if he is what type." Blake said. She was curious about this new person. He had to be important if all the teams were gathered there.

Pyrrha listened in to the conversation. She herself hoped he didn't recognize or know who she was. If that was the case, then she would love to get to know him.

"Do you think he knows how to make pancakes Ren??" Nora asked as she looked at him.

Ren smiled and shook his head. Classic Nora.

"Well we're about to know in a minute guys." Jaune said.

Cardin crossed his arms and chuckled with his team members. They couldn't wait to bully this new weak and fragile student. It will be fun.

"Quiet down everyone." Professor Glynda said as she walked on the stage. "The new student's initiation is about to begin."

The large smart board then glowed and showed camera footage.

Everyone watched as Professor Ozpin came into view. He looked directly into the camera.

"It's nice to see you all everyone. We are about to witness the new student's initiation. Please be kind and welcome him with joy into Beacon Academy." Ozpin grinned as he then gestured to Sasuke.

Sasuke walked into camera view. "My name is Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha." He calmly said and nodded.

Different emotions and feelings came over each student.

Ruby felt two foreign sensations in her chest and stomach. She was very curious to know what they were. The feeling increased as she continued to look at the new student, 'Sasuke Uchiha.' She wanted to know who exactly he was and why he made her feel this way.

For Weiss her curiosity and interest peaked when she looked at him. He didn't seem to be from around these parts and she wanted to know why. She could admit he was very handsome and wouldn't mind getting to know him.

Blake herself thought he looked even better than the men she would see and read about in her novels. He didn't looked to be a Faunus, but who knew, maybe his Faunus trait was hidden somewhere.

Yang was whistling and smiling hard as her wish was granted. He was way better than she was expecting. Sasuke Uchiha huh? The foreign name suited him, but she would have to see his strength first. What's a sexy face if he was weak and a coward??

Jaune thought Sasuke looked cool and mysterious. Strangely though, he reminded him of Ren.

Pyrrha really hoped that 'Sasuke' didn't recognize her. Besides the fact he was indeed very handsome, as she could see from the awestruck and interested looks from most of the other girls, he looked to be someone she wouldn't mind being friends with.

Unlike the other girls, Nora could see that it was more to Sasuke than he let on. It was in his eyes. Nora immediately recognized those eyes. She once had the same eyes for a long time long ago and as she looked at Ren, she knew he felt the same way.

Cardin smiled. 'A prettyboy huh?' He thought as he clenched his fist. Him and his team will have a lot of fun than regular bullying this one.

Professor Goodwitch's eyes was focused on the screen with much interest and eagerness to see what would happen.

-Sasuke pov-

"You can step on the launching pad whenever you're ready Mr. Uchiha." Ozpin said.

Sasuke nodded again and went to it. On their way there, Ozpin already explained the rules and what he had to do. It was easy enough for him.

"Good luck." Ozpin wished to him before he pressed the button.

Sasuke braced himself and then went with the momentum as he was launched in the sky.

While in the air, he could immediately see the black King relic at the altar on the abandoned temple.

Now he could really do this the easy way and just glide to it or land on the ground and run to it.

But he was curious about the dark energies he sensed. These had to be the Grimm Ozpin told him about.

He flipped himself in the air and then landed with a hard stop on the ground.

He could now sense the dark energies all around him. Ozpin told him that the Grimm were attracted to negative emotions..

If that's the case then why don't he emit just a small bit of his dark Chakra. He would make sure it was small enough to only be felt by these Grimm and no one else.

Sasuke let a small bit of his Chakra leak.

He suddenly sensed a whole lot more dark energies pinpoint in his direction and hastily run towards him.

-The teams and Glynda pov-

"Why's he just standing there?" Ruby asked as she was focused and attentive to Sasuke on the screen.

"It looks like he's waiting for something, but what?" Weiss responded.

Everyone was then quiet as they could see the screen shake a bit.

"Are..those Grimm making that happen??" Yang's eyes were wide as she said it.

Blake's eyes narrowed. "Yes." She replied.

"It looks like all of them are headed towards Sasuke. We need to-" Pyrrha was interrupted by Professor Goodwitch.

"No leaving the amphitheater for now students." She said. She herself was interested in what Sasuke planned to do with so many Grimm running to him.

"Gee I hope he will be alright." Jaune said while scratching his head.

Even Nora was silent with Ren as she was about to watch the chaos unfold.

Cardin and his team laughed. It seems like he was going to be ripped to shreds before they even got their hands on him.

-Professor Ozpin pov-

'Hm intriguing. What are you planning Sasuke?' He questionably thought as he watched the camera footage with extreme interest.

-Sasuke pov-

'Well it looks like it more than worked.' He thought as he glared back coldly at all the angry and hateful red eyes directed towards him.

It was curious. He could sense that the Grimm didn't have a soul within them. They were basically beings who knew nothing but destruction.

He almost wanted to chuckle though as they really thought they could intimidate him, destruction incarnate.

He figured he would entertain them for now.

"Come vermin." He said calmly as he gestured to them with a hand.

He heard loud growls, roars, and screeching before the Grimm finally decided to show themselves.

Grimm of all kinds chased and launched at him. Scorpions, bears, wolves, boars, and even the familiar large birds in the sky.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he dangerously smirked. Hymp. He gripped his hand tightly on the handle of his Kusanagi and waited.

Closer..

Clo..ser..

There

He unsheathed his Kusanagi then sliced and diced the Grimm at more than FTL speeds. It seemed like time stopped itself once he did it.

He sheathed his Kusanagi again with a loud clang.

Cutting through the Grimm was like cutting through paper.

Something interesting he noticed was that they disintegrated into black ashes when they died.

Well his curiosity was satiated for now. He looked in the direction of the black King relic and ran to it. Not even dust was seen as he ran.

-The teams and Glynda pov-

Words couldn't describe how in awe and shellshocked everyone was.

They could tell he used his weapon because of him sheathing it, but didn't see him actually using it.

They knew he did though because of the sliced apart and mutilated Grimm all around.

They watched as he somehow appeared in the abandoned temple a second later and grabbed the black King relic.

'It looks like you know what you're doing after all Ozpin.' A fascinated Professor Goodwitch thought as she offered a small smile.

-Professor Ozpin pov-

Ozpin actually genuinely smiled as Sasuke approached him.

"How impressive Mr. Uchiha. You have exceeded my expectations." He proudly said.

Sasuke nodded and handed him the black King relic. "When can I visit the library?" He asked. He was more than ready to gain knowledge.

"After you meet the teams. Follow me." Ozpin said as he led the way and Sasuke followed.

-Meanwhile-

"I wonder if he'll show me his weapon, it looked so COOL!!" Ruby giggled as she remembered.

"Now now Rubes settle down. I don't want you embarrassing yourself in front of the hottie." Yang patted her head.

"Besides the fact we just witnessed a single student handle more than a dozen Grimm with mere ease, I'm curious to learn where he's from." Weiss said.

"Me too. He doesn't look to be around these parts." Blake agreed. She wondered what he thought about Faunus.

"I can see Professor Ozpin approaching. He looks to be behind him." Pyrrha said.

Professor Ozpin then indeed approached the teams with Sasuke behind him. In person, Sasuke looked to be slightly shorter than Ozpin. Around 6'5 or 6'4.

"Hello everyone. I hope you all enjoyed viewing Sasuke's initiation." Ozpin said. "You all can talk to him. I'm going to speak with Professor Goodwitch." He said and then walked off.

Sasuke stood expectantly as he waited for them to speak.

Pyrrha was the first to break the ice. She offered him a practiced and automated smile. She didn't know if he recognized her yet, so her body reacted accordingly. "Your skill was beyond what I have seen before. My name is Pyrrha Nikos. Nice to meet you Sasuke."

Her smile turned wide and genuine as she seen the nod of acknowledgement. He didn't react like the rest, meaning he didn't recognize her. She was ecstatic as she couldn't wait to get to know her new friend.

Sasuke gave Pyrrha a one second analysis. She looked to be experienced and strong. Judging by her reaction to him not knowing her, she must have been an important person in this world.

"H-Hi my name is R-Ruby Rose. Can I see y-your weapon??" Ruby asked nervously as she walked up to the towering Sasuke.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. He certainly didn't expect that, but he didn't see anything wrong with it.

He unsheathed his Kusanagi and watched as Ruby's nervous demeanor changed to exhilaration. He then handed her the sword.

She grabbed it like a sacred gift.

"Extremely light, but strong, durable, and flexible. The edge is sharp enough to cut through the hardest of things and the HILT?! AWESOME!! Does it have a name??" Ruby giggled and asked.

Sasuke was confused at her enthusiasm, but slightly amused and impressed with her synopsis.

"Kusanagi." He responded.

"Kuusanaagi?? I like it!" Ruby said and then gave it a few practice swings before handing it back.

'Not bad.' He thought as his lip twitched up a small bit.

As energetic and cheerful Ruby was, he could tell she knew her way around a weapon and was experienced. Interestingly enough, he could sense a power within her eyes. It seemed to be sealed and waiting to be awakened. He wondered if it was a type of Dojutsu of this world.

When he first got here actually, he could sense foreign energies in everyone he met. Ozpin's though felt different from everyone else's. It was one of the reasons he didn't trust him because he never told him about it.

"I'm sorry for my sister being such a weapons nut. My name is Yang Xiao Long. It's a real pleasure Sasuke." Yang smiled alluringly at him.

Wow it seems like Naruto's female look alike was interested in him.

He just offered her a nod and waited for the next.

'Playing hard to get huh? That will change soon sexy.' Yang smiled. Usually men would bow down to her feet if it meant getting with her. She hated those types of men. Fortunately Sasuke was different and it increased his attractiveness to her.

Sasuke could tell Yang was also experienced in fighting. Though she seemed like a brawler type judging be her natural stance.

Weiss crossed her arms. "Weiss Schnee, heiress of the Schnee Dust Company. Nice to meet you Sasuke." She said.

As much as she tried to hide it, he could see her interest and curiosity clear as day in her eyes.

"Likewise Weiss." He said.

Her snow white hair reminded him of the Rabbit Goddess.

"Greetings Sasuke, my name is Blake Belladonna." Blake gave him a friendly smile.

Sasuke's eyes immediately caught the unnoticeable twitching of her bow, but he didn't say anything.

He acknowledged her.

When he looked at the orange haired young woman, he could see..empathy and familiarity in her eyes. Like she knew something about him even though he didn't tell her anything. He was curious to know what it was.

"Hey I'm Nora Valkyrie! And he's Lie Ren!! We're usually together but not together together because we've known each other ever since childhood." Nora smiled widely as she pulled Ren beside her.

"Call me Ren." Ren said as he nodded to Sasuke.

Sasuke could see those same emotions in his eyes also when he looked at him. Interesting.

"Nice to meet you both." He said.

He almost scowled in annoyance looking at the last guy.

Why exactly? Because he looked like a twin of Naruto. Although they had noticeable differences. He surely hoped he wasn't as annoying as the loser though. He would have to kill him if that was the case...just kidding.

"Jaune Arc. Sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies love it!!" Jaune smiled at him.

Unlike the others, Sasuke immediately noticed the inexperience and lack of confidence in Jaune's stance and energy, but he seemed tolerable for now.

He nodded his head to him.

Finally, the last team.

Cardin smiled and held his hand out to Sasuke. "Cardin Winchester, leader of Team CRDL. Those are my teammates."

Sasuke noticed the deviousness of his smile. He still shook his hand out of courtesy.

He felt Cardin try to squeeze his hand with his full strength.

He slightly raised his eyebrow. Oh? He was one of those types huh. Sasuke would have to let him know he wasn't the one to be trifled with.

"It's a pleasure." He said as he squeezed Cardin's hand back with a small bit of his strength and watched him wince in pain.

He then let go and watched as Professor Ozpin and Professor Glynda approached them.

Professor Glynda had a small knowing smile on her face as she adjusted her glasses. Cardin had it coming.

"It looks like introductions are over with. You all are dismissed." Professor Ozpin said.

"Sasuke do you want to j-" Ruby stopped as she didn't see him. "Wait where'd he go??" She confusingly asked as she looked around. She was about to ask him if he wanted to join them at lunch, but he already somehow left.

Sasuke was in front of the library's door. 'It's time to get this over with.' He thought before entering it.

He looked around and could see all kinds of books waiting for him to touch and read.

The history section would make the most sense to read from first.

He walked over to it and picked up one of the books. He activated his Sharingans and began reading.

-30 minutes later-

A contemplative Sasuke sat down after he finished putting the last book he read in the library back.

What an interesting world.

So interesting in fact, it made him realize his 'revolution' and what he planned to do after he killed Naruto, would've failed.

Just like in the Elemental Nations, this world had its own evils.

Not only just the Grimm, but the hatred against the Faunus.

Humans feared what they didn't understand and soon enough, that fear can turn into hate.

Similar to how the Jinchuriki were treated in his former world.

Because of one animal trait, the humans went against the Faunus instead of joining them to fight against what really matters, the Grimm.

The Faunus created an organization called the White Fang to peacefully protest and try to persuade the humans, but they didn't listen. They only listened when the White Fang changed and Faunus started fighting back.

He compared it to his and Madara's goal. Well his former goal at least.

Madara wanted 'true peace' and yet to achieve that, thousands of people were killed. He wanted to force people to be enslaved against their wills. Good intentions yet a very horrible way of going about it.

For himself, he also wanted 'true peace' and 'unity' but in order to achieve that he had to kill innocents and would kill any other who went against him.

So much for peace huh

Whether on the Elemental Nations or whether on Remnant, It seems like evil and violence will still lurk regardless even if it was mostly peace.

And the only way to change that is by force of hand. But you can't have peace if you're participating in the violence right?

It was a lot of interesting thoughts.

Turns out he unknowingly figured out Blake was a Faunus herself. He was curious about what type.

More things that intrigued him were silver eyed warriors, Aura, Dust, Maidens, and he read something on the 'brother Gods' also.

Ruby had silver eyes, so he assumed that she was a silver eyed warrior herself. Especially since he sensed the power in her eyes. These 'silver eyed' warriors must've had a form of 'Dojutsu' they used in combat.

His thoughts suddenly paused as he heard a loud growl.

.

.

.

He scratched his head, slightly embarrassed at himself.

He should really get something to eat. He got up from his seat and then went to the lunchroom..

.

.

They say to learn to see things from different perspectives. Never limit yourself to just one point of view.

Sasuke thought the quote rung true. Especially in this particular instance as he stepped into the lunchroom.

Please stop!!

Screamed a bunny Faunus in pain as the weakling from before, Cardin, pulled hard on her sensitive ears. Sasuke could see the tears quickly welling up in her eyes as he continued to pull on them.

'Why isn't anyone helping her?' He thought and questioned to himself as he analyzed the entire lunchroom and could see no one, not even Team RWBY or Team JNPR, help her out. He looked back at the altercation.

What slightly befuddled him is the fact that the bunny Faunus looked like she was experienced in fighting, and from sensing her Aura, she had a great portion of it. Then..why wasn't she fighting back?

He wondered if this is similar to what Naruto went through when he was younger. All the bullying, all the obscenities and insults, he was surprised Naruto didn't end up like him. If he was in Naruto's shoes, he would've surely hated and destroyed the Leaf Village. It put a lot of things in perspective.

P-Pleease I'm B-Begging you..

Sasuke watched as tears fell from her eyes as Cardin and his Team laughed at her.

His eyes narrowed dangerously and coldly at them.

It was a lot of things he didn't tolerate

And absolutely one of them

Was seeing a woman cry

His form quickly disappeared.

"Hey guys is it just me or did it suddenly get colder??" A confused Russel said as he looked around.

THUD

Russel then looked around frantically as the rest of his teammates, even Cardin, was implanted in the surrounding walls of the lunchroom.

"What the f-!"

Russel was interrupted by a swift unnoticeable jab to the face and his sleeping form fell to the floor.

Sasuke looked at them coldly for a second before directing his attention towards the bunny Faunus. "Are you okay?" His expression softened as he asked her.

She had a flabbergasted expression on her face, but suddenly winced as she felt pain from her bruised ears.

Sasuke looked at her ears to see they were bent in ways he knew they shouldn't be. He gently placed two green Medical Chakra infused hands on them and began to heal them.

The bunny Faunus, Velvet Scarlatina, leaned into his touch as she realized what he was doing.

She blushed and let out a bashful smile at him. He must be the new student she heard the lower year students talking about. Her heart was beating like a drum in her chest. He was handsome. Very in fact.

"Y-Yes..t-thank you so m-much. I-I'm Velvet S-Scarlatina, what's y-your name?" She nervously asked him.

Sasuke thought Velvet reminded him of that woman who used to stalk Naruto..Hinata Hyuga if he remembered correctly. He could understand her nervousness, but the stuttering was annoying to him. He released his hands as he finished healing her.

"Sasuke Uchiha and Velvet-" He started and then gently placed his hand on her shoulder. "you can relax. I would never hurt you." He finished.

Velvet blushed more at that and nodded with a sweet smile. Both could then hear Cardin groaning.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed again and he started to walk to Cardin.

Cardin looked up at him and was about to say something until Sasuke grabbed him by the throat and easily lifted him in the air.

"If you ever bully or hurt anyone in this academy ever again..then what I did to those Grimm will be small compared to what I will do to you. Are we clear?" He growled out.

A petrified Cardin nodded frantically and then Sasuke dropped him unceremoniously.

"Good." He responded.

Eyes were glued on Sasuke and the whole interaction. The students were surprised and shocked to see someone actually stand up to Cardin.

"Hey handsome, over here!"

Sasuke heard the voice of Yang call out to him.

"Well I'll be seeing you Velvet. Let me know if you have anymore problems with them." He said.

Velvet giggled. After how Cardin looked, she doubted he would even poke another person. "Alright Sasuke and thank you again." She said.

He nodded and then walked to the table where Team RWBY and Team JNPR sat.

Blake immediately smiled warmly at him. "What you did was very brave and kind of you Sasuke. I never would have thought anyone would have stood up for the Faunus." She said.

"I'm curious, why didn't anyone of you help her out?" Sasuke asked as he looked at them.

"Well that's because she's a second year student and could've more than kicked Team CRDL's ass on her own handsome." Yang said. "..although I do wonder why didn't she fight back." She wondered.

"She more than likely didn't want to cause a scene, but I agree with Blake in that they got what they deserved." Weiss said.

"Yeah! Sasuke kicked their butt!!" Ruby smiled and giggled.

Sasuke slightly smirked at that. He definitely did.

"Speaking of buttkicking, I'm curious to know where did you learn your skills from Sasuke?" Pyrrha asked as she looked at him.

"I'm self-taught. I trained myself in the ways of combat." He replied. He couldn't actually tell them the real truth, so this would suffice for now.

The group was surprised to hear that he actually trained himself to do what he did in the initiation..amazing.

"Well you did an excellent job with that." Pyrrha replied with a smile.

Sasuke nodded in thanks.

Nora surprisingly was serious and calm as she asked him the next question. "I got a question for you Sasuke..where are you from and what's your family like?" She asked.

Sasuke immediately could tell that the question was worded carefully but in a smart way. Nora was way more clever than she let on. She most definitely knew about his family and what happened to them..interesting. She must have went through something similar. The eyes are the window to the soul after all.

"I'm from outside of the Kingdoms and my family..were killed by the Grimm. I'm the only one left." He responded. Which was a mixture of truth and lies.

Everyone at the table was surprised and shocked to hear that.

Nora stood up and started to walk to Sasuke.

He raised an eyebrow in curiosity and then stood up himself. He watched as Nora made her way around the table and then walked in front of him.

She managed to actually surprise him in the next second because she hugged him tightly.

"..I'm sorry that happened to you." She said.

There were many emotions in her tone. Empathy, understanding, sadness, and etc.

Sasuke then felt another thump and looked down to see Ruby hugging him tightly beside Nora.

"No one deserves to lose love ones." He heard Ruby say in a similar tone of Nora.

He then felt more and more thumps. Each of them saying different phrases relating to the same thing.

The last hug came from the Naruto look-alike, Jaune Arc. "Let's just hug it out..aye Sasuke?" He said with a supportive smile.

To think

If this was him just a little while ago..he would have killed each of them for touching him in such a way

It was..something..really something

He could feel all the warmth, support, understanding, and even light emit from each of them as they hugged him

A certain memory from his childhood couldn't help but to come into his mind at that particular moment.

"Sasuke whenever you have people that support, care, and feed you with positivity..cherish those people..and protect them because those kind are the hardest to come by." A serious Mikoto said to her youngest son.

An attentive and listening Sasuke nodded. "I will remember that Mom, I promise!" He responded.

A genuine smile actually made its way to Sasuke's face as the memory faded and ended.

He thought about Team 7 and all the good and fun times they had. Even the bad times that brought them closer together..as a family of sorts.

He then thought about Team RWBY, Team JNPR. and Velvet, the people he just recently met.

That made him come to a realization

That he was surprised he didn't before..so blinded by darkness

What was in front of him was hard to see

These kinds of people he would protect from the evilness and darkness of the world. This would be his new goal and new ambition.

His eyes closed as his mind was set and he was comfortable with the people around him. He innerly said his thanks to them..
