AN: Hey everyone, I have a new series I want to test out for you here. This time, I am doing a crossover with RWBY and the Naruto Series. This is one I have wanted to do for the character interaction, as both series' most interesting aspects for me are the characters in unique situations. This will follow the format I did for Fates Collide, but with a twist. It will be the new series characters visiting Vale rather than RWBY visiting a new kingdom. (Since I really could not fit all the context of the Naruto series into one kingdom). I will be starting with a very limited cast of who I really want to show before moving into more characters later. Also, like with Fates Collided, I will be generalizing the Naruto series powers in the same way for the mixed context here. As to when this takes place, on the RWBY side, this goes at the end of the RWBY Official Manga, which is what I will use as the primary source for all my new fanfics going forward. This is basically the same as end of volume two, but I then don't have to use the new developments or character of the later volumes if I do not like them, (I can refences the web series, but it will now always be secondary for my fanfics). For Naruto…it is tricky. Basically, I have no set moment form them because this is AU context here, but they are assumed around their 16-17 ages. And as an AU, I have power scaled for the purpose of my storytelling here, so these are not meant to be the literal characters form either series. But if you are wondering if this character will show up, or if this character can do this, I will let you know when or if it happens. Finally, I will make this series into a full one if I see its demand is high enough. If not, I will just keep it as a one-shot or delete it for space. So, here is chapter one of Huntress Strikers. Hope you enjoy this chapter, leave a review with your comments and questions, and have a nice day. (Also, I know I say Shinobi over Ninja here, I just like the word more for describing purposes).
Chapter 1 – A Few New Guests
In the headmaster's office, Team RWBY sat across from Ozpin's deck, who was looking out the window. Nearby was Glynda, who was working on her tablet, "The Last Team for final's review. Team RWBY, who scores…varied." Glynda said while adjusting her glasses, "Combat classes, academic performance, and completed missions are all above expectations. Your team is one of the best currently in the academy." She said before adjusting her glasses with a slight glare, "That would be true if not for multiple absences, falling asleep in classes, and the destruction of the cafeteria over the course of a food fight."
"Nora started that last one," Yang said under her breath before getting a slight elbow from Blake.
"Regardless," Ozpin spoke as he turned to them with a smile on his face, "I am proud of your growth this past year. And your bravery during the underground invasion has not gone unnoticed."
"Thank you," Ruby answered for her team, "So, why did you call us here on the last day of the classes for this review?"
"I wish for your team to be part of a small summer program," Ozpin answered.
"We have four students coming from a faraway land to visit Vale for the duration of the break." Glynda added, "The committees have decided to elect a team from our kingdom to chaperon them."
"Really?" Ruby asked, "And that's us?"
"Obviously," Weiss responded, "Have you been paying attention?" She said with an icy scowl while Ruby had an uneasy giggle.
"None of us are directly from Vale, are you sure we are the best group for them," Blake asked.
"I am confident in your abilities to make a good impression," Ozpin responded.
"You will be provided with a budget to cover expenses and can run this program to your liking." Glynda responded, but then adjusted her glasses, "However, I will still be keeping an eye on you to make sure you are all staying in line."
"So, what do you say?" Ozpin asked the team.
Team RWBY converse amongst themselves before turning back to the headmaster, "We would be happy to help welcome them to Vale." Ruby spoke for her team with a smile.
"Excellent," Ozpin responded, "I knew I could count on your team."
"So, when do they come in?" Yang asked.
"Should be any minute now, you'll most likely run into them on your way out this building," Ozpin said with the four girls looking at him in shock.
"Please escort them to their rooms to start," Glynda added, "They will be staying in the room to the right of yours."
"Good luck," Ozpin said with a smile and tilted head.
Team RWBY gathered in the elevator with Ruby pressing the lobby button. The doors closed with the red hooded girl letting out a sigh right afterward, "Yikes, I thought this whole thing was about Zwei needing to go back home."
"Nope, he gets to still be hidden in our room." Yang responded, "But I hope none of these newbies are allergic to him." She said before smirking at Blake, "Or are you a scaredy-cat." The blond brawler said with the black cat faunus looking back with half-open eyes.
"Still, I don't know how to feel about this program yet." Blake said with a sigh, "We know nothing about them."
"Well, I think this is a great opportunity for us." Weiss responded, "We get to show our peers how much we have grown and prove we are ready for this responsivity."
"You're just happy you get to boss someone around." Yang responded with Weiss pouting at her, "I kind of just hope they aren't boring." She said before putting her hands behind her head, "Things have been dull since we caught Roman. Nothing exciting has happened here and the White Fang went quiet." She said before slightly focusing, "Which reminds me, we still don't know where his mute bodyguard went. All I found out Junior was that her name is Neo." She then turned to her little sister, "But he has no idea who that party crasher was."
"Well, not much we can do then. All our friends went away for the break." Ruby responded, "Basically, we have the whole school to ourselves for a couple of months." She said before the doors opened, "So, let's use this time to help these students feel welcomed here like we were." The red hooded girl said while exiting the elevator, with the rest of her team smiling as they followed.
Team RWBY exited the building and walked into the open plaza. They each looked up at the sky, but only saw white clouds, "If it was any minute now, where's their airship?" Weiss asked her team.
"Maybe they're coming on a boat," Yang asked.
Suddenly, Blake's bow twitched. She turned to what had caught her attention, her eyes focused. In the distance, a dust cloud was approaching them fast, "Hey, I think something's coming." She said the others seeing the sight. As the dust cloud got closer, the team readier their weapons in case of a Grimm invasion.
However, the dust cloud passed them before stopping in front of the building, leaving a trail of green leaves. The Team turned to discover it was a young man in a green jumpsuit, orange legwarmers, and bandaged wrapped arms, "First place, I knew I could do it Guy sensei!" he spoke in an energetic voice as he carried four backpacks on his person.
"…" Team RWBY all looked on in confusion, then saw the young man turn towards them. His black hair was in a bowl cut, but his eyebrows were as bushy as any could be.
"Hello," the bushy-browed brawler said as he bowed, "My name is Rock Lee."
"Uh, hey?" Ruby responded with a slight wave, "Are you one of the new transfer students?"
"Yes, I am. And you must be our chaperons." Lee said before giving a thumbs up and a wink, "It is a pleasure to meet you!"
"Same," Yang responded, then looked around, "Where are the others?" she said before seeing three other young men walking up, "Oh, there they are."
One wore an orange and black attire. His blond hair was spiked, and he had slight black horizontal lines on his cheeks, almost like whiskers. Next to him was a young man with slightly longer spiked hair, but the hair was a deep navy blue. He wore a grey jacket and black pants but had a purple cloth and rope tied around his have. The third young man wore a crimson red attire with a combat vest. His short red hair was spiked, but he had a scar on his forehead over his left eye. On his back was a large gourd that seemed to be made of hardened sand. And like with Lee, all of them were sandals.
"We told you it wasn't a race." the blond one said with a sigh while the other two remained silent.
"I know, but it was a perfect moment for training." Lee spoke, "And look, I already meet our chaperons for this trip."
"Oh, hey," the blond one said as he turned to team RWBY with a smile, "It's nice to meet you, I'm Naruto Uzumaki."
"Sup, I'm Yang," the blond brawler introduced before pointing to the rest of, "She's Ruby, that's Blake, and the ice queen is Weiss."
"Hey, don't introduce me like that!" Weiss responded in anger as Yang giggled. The white heiress then composed herself before walking up to the blue-haired one, "My name is Weiss Schnee, it would do you well to remember the name." she said with her left hand extended.
"Sasuke Uchiha," the blue-haired one responded, but did not extend his arm.
"…" Weiss responded with an icy glare.
"…" Sasuke remained steadfast.
Suddenly, Yang moved between the two, "Okay, awkward moment over." She then looked over to the red-haired one, "How about your name?"
"Gaara," he responded with his arms crossed.
"Cool, with the names are out of the way, let's get you'll to your rooms," Yang responded.
"Oh, I can show the way there," Ruby offered, "Follow me!" She said before sprinting off, leaving a trail of rose petals behind.
"Right!" Lee responded, sprinting off with a trail of green leaves behind him.
"So, she does that too," Naruto asked with Yang nodding. They followed with Blake and Gaara behind them. Sasuke walked past Weiss, who then lowered her hand as she scowled at him.
The groups eventually caught up to the two speedsters, "We have already put away the belongings." Lee spoke, "And we have decided on our first task while here."
"Really," Naruto asked, "What is it?"
"Well, how about a little exhibition match?" Ruby asked, then turned to her sister, "Dad always said you can get to know someone when you spar with them."
"Yep, and I'm down," Yang said.
"I don't see a point to this," Sasuke responded.
"Then let's make it interesting," Weiss spoke, "Loser buys lunch."
"Oh, you're on!" Naruto responded, "And when we win, I'll eat until I explode."
"Confident, are we?" Yang said with a smirk, "Then, let's see how this Hunters verse Huntresses match goes?"
"Sure, but what are those?" Naruto asked.
"Eh," Ruby asked, "You don't know what a huntress is?"
"We have a different term," Gaara answered, "Shinobi."
"Oh…what's that like?" Ruby responded.
"It's like a ninja," Blake answered, turning to the four young men, "I think I figured out where you're all from. The terms you use compared to the other kingdoms are somewhat different, but the results can be similar."
"Cool, your our interpreter then." Naruto responded, then smirked, "But before all that, let's get to the match. I'll already starve from the trip."
"You like to rush in, don't you?" Yang responded, then hit her fist together, "This is gonna be fun."
The eight made their way to the combat arena. Team RWBY gathered on one end while the four shinobi stood on the other side, "We'll just make this a last one standing deal." Yang said to the other side of the arena, "Just give us each a minute to get ready."
"Got it," Naruto responded with a thumbs up.
Yang responded in kind before looking to her team, "So, four of us against four of them. Seems fair."
"Well, we should go easy on them," Ruby countered, "Lee said the four of them are all from a different team, so they aren't used to working together like we are."
"Okay then, we just do the old divide and conquer thing." Yang responded, "I'll take Naruto, he seems fun."
"I think I'm the only one of us that can keep up with Lee," Ruby added, "I'll fight him."
"Sasuke's mine," Weiss responded, "I'll take him down."
"Someone's got a crush forming." Yang said with half open eyes, but Weiss scowled at her. The blond brawler turned to Blake, "That leaves you and the guy with the gourd over there." She said while pointing back to Gaara.
"You said you knew a bit about where they're from." Weiss asked, "Can you tell us more about them before this match."
"They don't use dust and their weapons are simple." Blake answered, loading her pistol, "However, they compensate with combining aura and semblances to perform powerful techniques. But they don't use those terms, it is more commonly called charka and jutsus." She then readier her weapon before turning back others, "There's a lot more I don't have time to explain, so we should be ready for anything."
"Wow, you know a lot about this stuff." Ruby praised, "Where did you hear about this?"
"I read it in a book." Blake responded, breaking eye contact, "…Don't ask which one." She said with the others having a look of confusion.
"Hey, we're all set here." Naruto called out, "Ready when you are?"
"Okay," Ruby responded, then turned to her team with a nod, "Then, let's do this!" she said with all members of her team reposing their weapons, "Freezer burn!"
In saying that command, Weiss created an ice glyph on the floor before Yang blasted the ground with Celica Ember. A cloud of mist appeared over the arena, shrouding all fighters. The blond brawler and white heiress then rushed in as Ruby and Blake flanked from each side.
However, each member was cut off by a shinobi.
Weiss searched for her opponent, but a slight glimmer through the mist. She reposed her rapier just in time to clash with a sword that had no guard on the handle. The white heiress then saw it was Sasuke, with the same dour expression as before. Weiss gritted her teeth as their blades clashed.
Rushing into Ruby was Lee, whose body was in mid-spin, "Leaf Hurricane!" he shouted as the red hooded girl blocked the kick with her scythe. She then reposed with a slash, but the bushy-browed shinobi dodged while jumping back. He reposed his stance with one arm behind his back, the other extended with four fingers pointed upwards.
Blake's faunus ears flinched under her bow as she jumped back, barely avoiding something on the floor. It appeared liquid in movement, but it was sand. The sand then leaped to ensnare her, but the black cat faunus slashed it apart with her cleaver. The sand then retreated before gathering around Gaara, who stood with his arms crossed and a deadpan expression.
Yang quickly saw one person charging her head-on, discovering it was Naruto. His arm was reeled back for a punch, causing the blond brawler to do the same. However, her punch was the one that landed as she sent the knucklehead shinobi back fly, "Is that all you got-" She said before seeing Naruto turn into a plume of white smoke, "Huh?"
"Not even close!" Naruto said from behind the blond bawler. Yang turned around but gasped as three Narutos leaped towards her with a punch reeled back. The blond brawler changed to a defensive stance as blocked all three punches, her body skidding back on the souls of her boots, "What do you think of my Shadow Clone Jutsu? Pretty neat, am I right?"
"Meh, Blake can do something similar." Yang responded with a smirk, "And you'll need to make more if you want to beat me." She said with Naruto smirking. He then made a hand sign with his index and pointer forming a plus sigh. Suddenly, another plum of white smoke erupted over the mist. As it all faded, Yang discovered she was surrounded by thirty Narutos now, "…Huh." She commented before all Narutos rushed in.
Ruby and Lee continued to clash blow before the red hooded girl aimed the end of her Crescent Rose. Suddenly a sniper round fired, but the bushy-browed shinobi dodged out of the way of the bullet. He then reached into his back pouch, pulled out a kunai before tossing it at Ruby, who deflected the weapon with her own. She then changed Crescent Rose to its sniper form before opening fire again, but Lee continued to dodge. The red hooded girl then focused on his movement, then fired backward, launching herself towards him. Lee slightly gasped as Ruby's weapon quickly transformed back to a scythe. In his position, he could not dodge. However, he stood on his hands before spinning with a powerful kick. The blade collided with left land, cutting into one of the orange warms. Ruby had a look of confusion at the sound of metal hitting metal. However, she saw what was under his warms, "Leg weights?" she said before jumping back, "You're this fast with those on!?"
"Yes, I am still training, even now." Lee answered, then responded his stance, "You are quite fast, but I will not need to take them off just yet." He said before rushing in again.
Weiss and Sasuke continued to clashed blades, with the other unable to land a devise blow. Suddenly, both jumped back. The white heiress jumped back with multiple white glyphs appearing behind her, each launching icicles at her opening. In response, Sasuke sheathed his sword before performing multiple hand sighs, "Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu." He said before placing his right hand to his face, then breathed. Emerging was a barrage of firebombs that collided with the icicles.
"Tsk," Weiss responded with her stance adjusting, "Try this then!" she said before a massive icicle formed from one of the glyphs and was launched at Sasuke.
However, Sasuke performed a slightly different combination of hand signs, "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu." He said before blowing like before. This time, a massive ball of flames was expelled that engulfed the icicled. Resulting in a massive explosion of steam.
"Damnit," Weiss responded before changing her stance again. Suddenly, her glyphs stance to yellow as her body glowed in a similar aura, "Now let's see if you can see this coming!" she said before dashing in at high speed, while Sasuke remains still, only lowering his head. As she was about to land a strike, the Uchiha shinobi drew his sword and blocked the attack. Weiss gasped before trying to dash around him at high speed, but he parried all the attacks, "How? How can you see my-" she said before he glared at her, his irises changed to red with odd symbols on them. Weiss gasped again before he pushed her aside, then rushed in with a flurry of slashes.
Blake continued to dodge the sand as it tried to attack her. She aimed her pistol at the sand shinobi before firing a few shots. However, part of the sand blocked the bullets as Gaara remained still, "Is he controlling the sand or is it moving on its own?" Blake thought before dodging more of the incoming sand, "I need to get past his defense to land a hit, but how?" she thought before an idea came to her mind. She aimed her pistol at Gaara before unloading her whole clip onto him. The sand blocked every bullet from reaching his body, including aimed for the head.
As the sand moved, Gaara held out one arm as the sand surrounded Blake. "Sand Coffin," he said as her body was encased in sand, making her unable to move. However, she then disappeared into a black mist, "A substitution?" Gaara said before looking over the area, "Where is the real-" he said before Blake appeared behind him in the mid-swing of her cleaver, "Gah!" the sand shinobi said before the cleaver crashed into in left shoulder for a direct hit.
However, Blake's eyes widened as Gaara's body went limp, then transformed into the sand. She tried to jump back, but the sand surrounded her body. She was unsnarled with only her face exposed from the sand. In looking around, she saw a pile of sand with Gaara merging from it, "When did you?" Blake asked.
"When you thought I took my eyes off you." Gaara responded he said before raising his right hand in an open palm, "You took your eyes off me." The sand shinobi said as Blake sweated in fear, wondering what will happen if he closes his palm.
Yang fought off wave after wave of Naruto running at her. Her shotgun blast hitting multiple clones at once, forcing them to despawn with others rushing in, "Sucks for you that I have the best crowd control weapon." She said while continuing to fire, but then noticed on her gauntlets ran out of ammo, "Uh oh."
"Get her!" One of the Narutos said before the other all rushed in. However, Yang smirked as she used her other gauntlets last round to launch herself into the air. While the Narutos crashed into one another, Yang quickly reloaded her weapons. She then unleashed a rain of fiery rounds onto the closed, creating a massive cloud of smoke as they dispersed.
Suddenly, three more Narutos jumped out from the smoke. One attempted an uppercut, but Yang fired her shotgun gauntlets to dodge the hit. However, the other two grabbed her arms as she gasped. The first Naruto repositioned himself as he reached the ceiling, then jumped downward. the other two slammed Yang's back against the floor with the first kneeing her in the stomach. The force of the impact denting the floor. The three Narutos then jumped away as they smirked, "Had enough?"
Yang pushed up before hitting her fists together, "Just getting started!" she said before rushing in.
Ruby and Lee continued to clash, but the red hooded girl was running out of breath, "You are a tough one, but there is one major flaw with your style." He said before dashing in, then a wild punch. Ruby tried to block with her scythe, "You rely too much on that weapon over your body." He said as the punch knocked Crescent Rose out of Ruby's hands. She gasped, but in doing so, did not notice Lee changing his position. The bushy-browed shinobi then landed a kick to her chin, sending the red hooded girl into the air. Before Ruby could open her eyes from the force of the impact, she gasped as Lee was behind her in the air. Suddenly, the bandages on his arms uncoiled before wrapping around Ruby's body, "Eat this," he said before grabbing Ruby and spinning while descending, "Primary Lotus!" Lee declared before crashing Ruby into the floor with enough force to shake the building. He then jumped out of the smoke cloud created before falling to one knee.
"Ruby!" Weiss called out in panic as the dust settled.
"…I'm okay…" Ruby said with a groan, "But…ouch…"
"I will help her." Rock Lee said as he raised his hand, "That will mean I am out of the rest of the sparring match."
Weiss sighed before turning back to Sasuke, "I need to finish you off quick before we get too much of a disadvantage." She said before rapier her rapier. Sasuke then pointed his sword at her, which sparked with light blue electricity. Suddenly, a beam of lighting was fired from the weapon. Weiss gasped before getting impaled by the lighting spear in her left shoulder, then pinned her to the wall behind her, "AAAAAAA!" She screamed in pain before dropping her weapon. She gritted her teeth before glaring back at Sasuke, who remained deadpan.
"…" Sasuke said nothing before lowering his hand, causing the lighting to fade. Weiss's body slid down the wall, holding her left arm, "I knew this was a waste of time." He said before walking away, causing the white heiress to glare at him.
Gaara saw Sasuke walking away, then sighed before lowering his hand, causing the sand around Blake to fall apart, "I quit." He said before walking away. Blake had a look of confusion, but then ran over to check on Weiss. The sand shinobi stood next to the Sasuke as they watched the last two members of exhibition match.
The Narutos rushed Yang with each making the hand sign from before. The blond brawler blasted two of the clones away, but the real Naruto remained and spawned four more clones. One rushed her with a wild punch, but despite the blond brawler blocking, she was still sent back from the punch. Yang gritted her teeth, then saw one of the Naruto's jumping off the one that punched her. She then tried to find the other three, but then felt a triple kick to the back, "Na-Ru-To," The clones said as Yang was launched high into the air towards the real Naruto who unleashed a downward kick to the face, "Uzumaki Barrage!" the knucklehead shinobi said as Yang's face slammed into the floor. Naruto then landed on the floor with his arms crossed, "I think that means we won." He said before seeing something in the air, "Huh, a hair?" he said before checking to see if it was one of his own.
But it was not his. Yang slowly pushed herself up, her teeth grit as her eyes went red. She hit her fist together before rushing one of the clones, punching it in the face. She then rushed a different clone with an uppercut before it despawn. The blond brawler turned to see a clone rushed her but grabbed his face before tossing him into one other clones, despawning both Narutos. She then focused the last Naruto, then erupted towards him before he could complete his hand sign. The blond brawler then unleashed a barrage of punches into the knucklehead shinobi's skull. Yang ended her combo with a hit that sent Naruto into the ground was a loud thud.
Yang then turned to the other, seeing the Sasuke and Gaara all looking back to her, "You guys want some!" she shouted with both of them remaining quiet, only watching on. However, Yang heard something from behind. In turning around, she saw Naruto struggling to get up. She then walked over while reeling her arm back with her fist clenched, "You don't know when to give up, do you?" the blond brawler said as she threw her punch.
However, Naruto caught the punch with his left hand. Yang gasped as he radiated a crimson aura, the lines on his face increasing, "No, I don't." he said while glaring at Yang with red irises as well.
"You little-!" Yang gritted her teeth before trying to punch with the other arm, but Naruto caught that one as well. As Yang could not pull out of his grasp, he pulled her in for a headbutt. The blond brawler staggered back with her eyes closed from the impact.
However, she opened them and gasped at the sight. Naruto had made another clone, one that moved its hand around his right hand. Forming in the palm was a rotating blue sphere of energy, spinning faster and fast, "Rasengan!" Naruto declared before thrusting the orb into Yang's stomach.
"AAAAAAAAAAA!" Yang screamed as her body was blasted off while spinning at high speed before crashing through the wall. Naruto remained where he was as he watched dust cloud. There, Yang stood with her hair slightly glowing. However, as more smoke cleared, her eyes were seen to be vacant as he stomach was still steaming from the impact of the hit. She then fell forward with her hair's glow fading.
A while later.
"… Gah!" Yang woke up, discovered she was resting her head against the counter of a food stand, "Huh?" she then turned to discover Naruto next to her.
"You're finally up," Naruto said, his eyes and face back to normal as he smiled, "Perfect timing, they just got our orders done." He said before an old man bring out bowls of noodles, "Thank pops, smells great." The knucklehead shinobi said before breaking some chopsticks, "Time to chow down!" he said before splurging up his food.
"Huh," Yang said before she looked at her bowl. She then turned to her right, discovering the rest of her team, "I guess we all lost."
"Yeah," Ruby responded, a bag of ice on her head before she placed it on the counter, "Kind of underestimated them." She said before looking at the other end of the food stand, seeing the shinobi all eating their bowls. "And Lee said they were all holding back, they were told too by their teachers back home."
"Is that so," Yang said before feeling her stomach, flinching in pain, "Well, I hope this doesn't leave a scar."
"Mine didn't," Weiss responded, then sighed, "At least not a physical one."
"I heard that their abilities were on another level," Blake spoke up, but looked down in remorse, "I'm sorry I didn't warn you to guess better beforehand."
"Don't worry Blake, it all worked," Ruby said.
"What do you mean," Yang commented, "We got our butts kicked."
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean we're worse than we were before." Ruby responded with a smile, "It just means we can use this program to better ourselves as well." The red hooded girl said before giggling, "It's like Lee told me, you have to train to be stronger than you were yesterday." She said with the others looking at her in confusion, "…We talked a lot while waiting for everyone to catch up to the rooms."
"I guess you're right." Yang responded, then looked to her bowl with a smile, "This is going to be an interesting break." She said before starting to eat, causing the rest of her team to do the same.
"All right!" Naruto said as he already finished his bowl, "Pops, another one! And make it one of those big bowls." he called out with the old man nodding.
Yang turned back to Ruby, "Hey, Glynda gave us that budget for the program, right?" She said with Ruby nodding, "Because if it had to guess, this guy might make us run out of it before dinner." The blond brawler said with the red hooded girl having a look worried as the knucklehead shinobi started devouring the second bowl, showing no signs of slowing down.
AN: There you go, we get a classic boys meet girls and then have a team battle were almost half die in a sparing match. These were the first four I wanted to show from the Naruto series since they all have a lot of chemistry with the core RWBY Team. Naruto is here and is going to be a blast to finally write. We even have Sasuke here doing his Sasuke thing of not care. Then is Gaara, one of my favorite characters of all time. And finally, the best boy with a bowl cut and bushy brows, Rock Lee. All of them show up and show off as they take on RWBY. Please remember, this was more a sparring match, and I don't care about their power scaling from the original, as this is an AU. The focus here will be more the character interaction than the fighting anyway, as that is what I like writing more. Already I really liked how some combos are playing off each other, like Yang and Naruto or Ruby and Lee. So, if you want to see more of this, let me know. That is all for now, thanks for reading, and hope to see you in the next chapter.
