This fanfic is bigust for fun, I don't own any characters from Naruto or the rwby series. I hope you enjoy reading this story I created


Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long were swinging on a swing as they waited for their father to pick them up from school. Her father did not appear, and they looked at the orange-tinged sky. It had been three hours since they left school and her father still hadn't come for them. They felt alone and sad, remembering their mother, who had died two years ago on a mission.

Suddenly, they noticed someone sitting next to them. He was a man with orange hair and green eyes, dressed in a white suit and an orange scarf. Ruby recognized him instantly and smiled at him.

—"Uncle!" he exclaimed,—"I'm glad you came!"

The man smiled back and stroked his hair.

—"Hello, little ones. How are you?"

—"Well… well, more or less. Dad hasn't arrived yet and I feel lonely. Plus it's cold," Yang complained, but smiled when she saw her uncle.

—"I'm sorry, girls. I know it's hard for you. But your dad loves you very much and I'm sure he has a good reason for being late. But don't worry, I'll be here with you until he arrives. Look, I brought you hot chocolate and some cookies".

The little ones took the hot chocolate and cookies and began to eat.

—"You think?" said Ruby with her mouth full.

—"Of course. Your father"... Roman sighed. —"He's just a little distracted... But hey, it doesn't matter. Look, girls, here I brought you this," the girls looked at the small box that Roman had.

—"It is highly refined dust. Since they started their training to be hunters, I wanted to give them this. I know that their father has forbidden them to touch the dust, so if he finds out with this, blame Qrow."

Ruby and Yang hugged the man and kissed him on the cheek.

—"Thank you, man. You're the best," they both said.

Roman opened the box and showed them the different colored powder.

—"This powder can enhance your abilities and your weapons," I explain,—"For example, this red powder can create fire, this blue powder can create ice, this green powder can create electricity..."

The girls listened attentively and marveled at the dust.

—"And how do we use it?" Ruby asked.

—"Well, there are several ways," Roman said.— "You can infuse it into your weapons, like I do with my staff," he took out his staff and activated it, causing a flame to come out of the end,— "Or you can use it directly on his hands", he made a sign with his hand and a sphere of fire appeared in his palm, —"Of course doing this is very difficult, even for me, Or you can use it in the form of cartridges or crystals", he took out a cartridge of powder blue and inserted it into a slot on his staff.— "Now look at this," he pointed his staff at a nearby tree and fired a beam of ice that froze it.

The girls were left speechless at the demonstration.

—"Wow! That's incredible!" they exclaimed in unison.

Roman smiled proudly.—"Do you want to try it?" , he asked them.

The girls nodded enthusiastically.

—"Yes, yes, yes," they said in unison.

Roman gave them each a cartridge of powder of a different color.

—"Here you go," he told them.—"But be careful, the powder is very powerful and can be dangerous if you don't use it right. And remember, this is our secret. Don't tell anyone else."

The girls promised to keep the secret and took the dust with curiosity.

Ruby received a cartridge of red powder, Yang received one of yellow powder.

—"What does this powder do?" Ruby asked.

—"That dust can create explosions," Roman told him.—"You can use it to increase the impact of your blows or to create distractions."

Román taught the girls how to use the powder, and with that he managed to amuse them and take them away from their sadness for a while. Then the three settled back into their swings.

—"Thank you uncle," both girls said.

—"You're welcome, princesses. Since we're here, how about I tell you a story?"

—"A story? What is it about?"

—"About the time your mom and I faced a very powerful grimm."

Ruby got excited and moved closer to the man.

—"Really? What kind of grimm was he?"

—"It was a bone dragon, one of the most fearsome. It had claws that could tear metal, fangs that could pierce the aura, and wings that could cause storms." Roman smiled, knowing that he was making it all up, but he didn't care. All he wanted was to see the girls happy.

—"How impressive! And how did they beat him?"

—"It was a very difficult fight. Your mother used her ax to cut off its wings, while I shot it with my staff. But the grimm was very resistant and blew a fire breath at us that made us retreat."

Yang bit her lip, nervous about the ending.

—"And what did they do next?"

—"Well, your mom had a great idea. She used her semblance to jump on the grimm and stab her sword into its skull. The grimm roared in pain and fell to the ground, dead."

Ruby clapped her hands in excitement and admiration.

—"Wow! Mom was amazing!"

—"Yes she was, Ruby. She was a brave and strong heroine. And you are just like her, you are."

Ruby blushed and lowered her head.

—"I don't know... I'm not as good as her."

—"Of course, Ruby. You have her same spirit, her same passion, her same talent. I'm sure that one day you will be a hunter as good as her or better."

Ruby raised her head and looked at the man with a mixture of joy and sadness.

—"Do you really believe it?".

—"Of course you do, little one. And not just me. Your dad believes it too. And your sister too. And everyone who loves you. Right Yang?"

—"Of course! And whoever says otherwise will see," little Yang bumped her fists.

Ruby felt tears well up in her eyes and hugged the man tightly.

—"I love you so much uncle".

—"I love you very much, Ruby, Yang, you are my dear nieces. I am always aware of you, even if you don't know it. I always take care of you."

—"Really, man?" Ruby asked naively.

—"Yes, seriously. I always worry about what happens to them, what they need, what they dream of. I want them to be happy and achieve their goals."

—"And what goals do you have, uncle?" Yang asked with interest.

—"Well, I... I just want you to be well. I want you to know that you have my support for whatever it is. I want you to be happy... after all I promised her," Roman murmured very quietly. last part.

—"But we're happy now, man. You're the best guy in the world," Ruby said with a smile.

—"Yes, that's true. You are very funny and very brave," Yang added with admiration.

—"Thank you, girls. I'm very happy to hear that. I love you very, very, very much.

Román had a happy expression, but inside, deeper in his heart his soul was clenched tightly, he was immensely sad.

Yang and Rubí only had an image of him, an image of a brave knight who saved town by town, they had that image of their uncle, of a great man, but he was not like that, he stopped being like that some time ago, he no longer He was that brilliant knight who saved people without expecting anything in return, he was just a simple thief, but even a criminal like him has things to value. And just for a moment he wanted them to be proud of him.

But I knew that was impossible. She knew that one day he would have to face the truth and disappoint them. He knew that his life was in danger and that he could lose them at any moment. She knew that he was not the hero they thought he was, but the villain they all hated.

He knew that the time he spent with them was precious, and that's why he didn't waste it. He hugged them, kissed them, told them how much he loved them. He told them wonderful tales of her exploits, without mentioning the dark and bloody aspects. He gave them nice things and made them smile.

Because they were the only good thing he had left in the world. Because they were his reason for moving forward. Because they were Summer's memory.

At that moment, they heard the noise of a car approaching. It was Ruby's father, Taiyang Xiao Long, coming to pick her up. Ruby waved goodbye to the man and waved.

—"Dad's here. I have to go."

The man nodded and returned the gesture.

—"Bye, Ruby. See you soon. Yang, take care of your sister."

—"Yes, sir," Yang said with a military salute.

Ruby ran to the car and sat in the back seat next to Yang. Taiyang greeted them with a smile and started the engine.

—"My girls. How was your day?... Sorry for the delay."

—"Good, dad. I had a great time with the guy," Ruby said, pointing to the man on the swing.

Taiyang looked in the rearview mirror and didn't see the man who was supposedly on that swing. But he knew who Ruby was talking about. It was Roman Torchwick, an old acquaintance of his from the past, when they studied at Beacon Academy. Taiyang knew what Roman had become: a criminal wanted by the law for his thefts and scams. But he also knew that Roman had a soft spot for Ruby and Yang, he loved them as if they were his own daughters.

Ruby looked at the empty swing in bewilderment. Her uncle should have been there, but he wasn't there, he had disappeared like smoke.

—"He always does the same thing," Yang said. —"Every time you or Uncle Qrow come he just disappears. It's impressive but at the same time it's infuriating... It's complete bullshit."

—"Hey! Who taught you that word?" , his father reproached him.

—"Uh... well... Uncle Qrow taught it to me," Yang lied, looking away. She didn't want to admit that it was her uncle Roman who taught her that word and others. They always blamed Qrow.

Taiyang sighed and dropped the topic. He knew that Qrow wasn't the best role model for her daughters, but he also knew that he loved and cared for them. Just like Roman, although in a different and more risky way.

Taiyang didn't understand why Roman did this: visiting Ruby and Yang whenever he could and telling them made-up stories about him and Summer, although he also told some true ones. Maybe it was his way of redeeming himself for his crimes or compensating Ruby and Yang for the loss of her mother. Or maybe he just wanted to make them happy.

Taiyang didn't approve of Roman's actions, but he was immensely grateful to him. Roman did Ruby good: she gave him company when she was alone, she told him stories about herself that entertained and inspired her, she told him words about her that encouraged and consoled her. Roman was like an uncle to Ruby: a lying but loving uncle.

Taiyang sighed and decided not to say anything else. He didn't want to destroy Ruby and Yang's illusion, nor confront Roman about something that wasn't worth it. The only thing that mattered to him was the happiness of his daughters.

So he just said:

—"I'm glad you had fun with uncle, dear."

And he continued driving towards his home.

Ruby was looking out the car window and saw the tree where the swings were. There, at the top of that tree, she saw Roman smiling at her and waving at her. The little girl also waved back to her uncle.


Ruby woke up in her bed, she was in her room with her teammates. She smiled slightly as she remembered that dream. No, it wasn't really a dream, it was a beautiful memory, a distant memory of a painful past that little by little was healed by the beautiful moments when her father dressed as another person to keep her company. She did not understand the reason or why she did it, but it made her happy that her father, despite the pain she was going through, did not abandon her. She loved her father very much.

At the same time she woke up from her comfortable bed, a man opened his eyes and put on a sad smile. He was in a lighted, but lonely and desolate cell. He was bound and imprisoned in that place, and it was just really. He was just a criminal that no one would remember, not even Ruby and Yang. And it was the best, he preferred it that way. He just wanted to be in the memory of those little girls, to remember fondly that someone was there for them when they felt alone. And what did it matter if they confused that person with his father, pretending to be someone he wasn't? They would never know that he was always there, ensuring his safety despite the pain he felt over the loss of his great friend. Roman just smiled slightly at the sad and harsh reality of him. It was ironic that a simple thief who did so much wrong in his life would at least want something like happiness, but sometimes life is complicated.

He raised his head and looked at the ceiling, he was counting every crack in the cold metal because he had nothing better to do.

—"Yes, Ruby, maybe you'll never know. And it's for the best. I just want you and Yang to be okay, as long as you're okay, the rest doesn't matter, not even my life...Don't worry, I'll fix it." this in some way or another. I will always be taking care of them."

—"Rubí, Rubí," Yang whispered under her breath so as not to wake the others.— "Are you awake?"

Rubí turned her head slightly towards where the voice was calling her and saw her sister with open eyes.

—"Hello, Yang. Are you better?" Ruby asked sweetly.

—"Yes, I think I was a little angry, but it's over. I'm sorry." Yang apologized.

—"Don't worry, sister. You know I believe you, right?" Rubí told her with a smile.

—"Thank you, sister. Really, thank you," Yang smiled back at Rubí. Despite the darkness of the night, Yang's face could be clearly seen. The broken moon was bright that night. She was beautiful despite how broken she was. It gave a certain mystical charm.

—"Do you want to go get some air to clear your mind?" Rubí proposed enthusiastically.

Yang nodded. He was surprised to see her sister so animated at that early hour.

—"What's wrong with you? You're very happy for it being so early in the morning. By the way, what time is it?" , Yang checked her scroll and was surprised. —"Is it one in the morning? Damn, we haven't slept almost at all."

—"Yes, I'm not sleepy. And by the way, my good mood is because I had a dream in the old days," Rubí explained.

—"Yes, the old days," Yang repeated softly. — "You know, I remember very well those days when I carried you on my back to school when our father couldn't come and drop us off."

—"Stop it, Yang. You don't have to remember those moments. Besides, he never left us alone," Rubí defended.

Yang looked at the wood of the bed above her. It was a poorly made bunk bed, but at least it served to provide space for all the girls' things.

—"I don't understand why he did it. That thing about being someone else and pretending he was our uncle. But it doesn't matter. I really appreciate that despite the loss of our mother, he was always there with us. But I have the feeling that "He had orange hair or something like that. I'm not sure," the blonde said with a doubtful look.

—"Yes, but I'm sure he used eyeliner, like Román Torchwick," Rubí added.

—"Please, really? Dad with eyeliner," Yang laughed mockingly. —"Well, let's get some air. I want to take a walk."

—"Yes, sister," Rubí said happily and they carefully left her room. When they took the first step through the hallways, they were quite surprised. There, at the door of his neighboring team, was Naruto Uzumaki, lying peacefully sleeping in fetal form next to his room door.

—"What...the hell?" Yang said slowly and with each word an incredible surprise was evident.—"Why is Naruto sleeping in the middle of the hallway?"

—"I don't know, sister. But I don't think I should be here," the girls looked at the placid Naruto sleeping comfortably. He was unfazed.

—"I think we should, I don't know, wake him up?" said Rubí doubtfully.

—"Yes, I think so," Yang took out a small marker and slowly approached Naruto's face, but Ruby immediately grabbed her sister's hand and shook it.

—"What are you doing?!".

—"Oh, come on! As if you had never wanted it? It's a little joke."

—"We shouldn't do that to Naruto," reproached Ruby.— "He's our friend."

—"Yes, and we are best friends. And best friends play pranks on each other," Yang insisted.

—"No, you won't," Rubí objected.

—"You're so boring," Yang complained,—"Well, let's wake him up another way," and she carefully approached the blonde Uzumaki. Ruby was watching, waiting for her sister to gently wake Naruto up, but she wasn't expecting what came next.

Pam! Bang!💥💥💥, Yang slapped Naruto on the left cheek and then another on the right, and so she continued giving him three more blows. Rubí was startled and screamed loudly, reproaching her sister.

—"Yang!".

—"What?" People like him are very heavy sleepers. So to be safer...

—"Yang, Oum, Naruto forgive her, my sister didn't mean to do it, she didn't mean to do it with bad intentions," Rubí apologized.

Naruto was shaking his head and opened his eyes slightly, but incredibly they were no longer blue like they normally are, they were blood red, almost seeming to glow in the dark.

He opened his eyes completely and looked around as if he were a lost child or rather as if he were a child in a candy store. He looked down the hallway with curiosity. And then he proceeded to look at his hands and touched his own body as if to check that he was in good condition. Then he started licking his right hand and then pinched his left cheek.

—"Wow, that's funny. Pain, I haven't felt it in a while. The air smells like roses and sunflowers, that's coming from you. Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long, it's a pleasure to see you and meet you in person," he said Naruto.

—"N-Naruto", Rubí started to get a little scared.

Naruto stood up from the hallway floor and stared at his feet. Then he touched his stomach.

—"It seems that it is possible in some way. I had my doubts, but it works very well. This is impressive," Naruto commented with a malicious smile.

Ruby and Yang looked carefully at Naruto's strange behavior. They moved away a little and had their eyes open. Naruto was just plain weird from the moment they met him, but now he was crossing the line of weird. What the hell was going on there? Naruto's eyes were red and his fangs had elongated a bit.

—"Now, interesting, interesting. Yes, it seems that it is possible in some way," Naruto repeated.

—"Yang, I think you just hit Naruto hard," Ruby said with some nervousness in her voice. Her sister looked at her with wide eyes.

—"What are you talking about? They were just small slaps. Have you seen the blows that the idiot has received? It is not possible that simple blows like mine could have hurt him.
Something is happening here. It is a semblance, they will be controlling," Yang speculated.

—"Ruby Rose," Naruto called and Ruby got a little tense. Naruto approached the small black-haired girl and began to smell her hair, — "Yes, you smell like roses."

Ruby immediately used her semblance and transformed into petals to get away from Naruto and positioned herself behind her sister's back.

—"It seems that I have scared you , " Naruto's smile that was previously kind and a little funny, became somewhat arrogant and somewhat mocking.

—" Why are you running away from me, little Ruby? " Naruto asked with a tone that did not bode well.

Rubí felt a chill when she heard that voice so different from the Naruto she knew.

She turned around and saw Naruto behind her, smiling mischievously at her. How had she moved so fast? It was surprising that without having any semblance of speed, Naruto was so fast.

The two sisters moved away from him, alert.

—" Come on, I'm not going to do anything to you. In fact, I just want to talk to you and maybe feel a little bit about you , " Naruto said as he carefully approached his hand towards Ruby, but Yang grabbed it tightly.

—" This is interesting , " Naruto took Yang's hand and caressed it gently.

— " Your hand is calloused, no wonder. You are a woman who likes to fight with her fists. It doesn't bother me, I like it, I like it. This shows how hard you have worked. A strong and beautiful woman, two combinations that You don't see them very often."

Yang blushed slightly and turned away from Naruto. She immediately frowned, but you could still see the scarlet on his cheeks.

—"Naruto, if you're starting to play a prank on me, you're going to regret it," Yang threatened.

—" You call me Naruto, but the truth is that I'm not. I'm not like the idiot, I'm not the idiot. I may use his body, but I'm not him, " Naruto clarified.

—"What the hell are you talking about, Naruto?" Yang asked through clenched teeth.

—" Well, that's what I'm saying, I'm not him," Naruto repeated.

—"Uh-huh, sure," Ruby approached Naruto slightly,— "But hey, leaving that aside, why were you sleeping in the hallway?"

—" Oh yeah, well, that idiot Naruto confronted Pyrrha about his strange behavior. So she got upset and sent him flying so to speak, not to mention sending him away with his semblance and embedding him in a wall. And well, she felt embarrassed for what she did and now she didn't let him into her room because she was embarrassed...girl stuff , " Naruto explained.

It was very strange. Naruto was talking about himself as if he were someone else.

—"Very well..., Naruto," said Ruby.

—" Don't call me that , " Naruto interrupted.

—"Oh, yes, of course... who are you then?" , Rubí asked with nervousness in his voice. In truth, this behavior of Naruto was making her very tense.

—" Kurama ." Naruto responded.

—"So, Kurama. I'm Ruby Rose," Ruby introduced herself.

—" Yes, I know you, I've seen you. You're Naruto's little friend. It's a pleasure to meet you, Ruby. And frankly, you're not bad at all , " said Naruto with a suggestive smile.

Ruby felt uncomfortable by Naruto's praise. Or rather, Kurama. Who was this Kurama? What had happened to Naruto?

—"Naruto, listen," Yang said. —"Pay attention here, okay?"

—" Yes, yes, of course. Well, Naruto had nowhere to stay to sleep, so we lay down in the hallway to rest . "

Ruby and Yang looked at each other in confusion, as if they were dealing with an alien.

—"Ah… well, is Naruto okay?" Ruby asked.

—" He's asleep. Now he can't talk to you, I took advantage of the moment of distraction to try something and I'm here, it's incredible, it's been a while since I've felt the air in the air, it's wonderful, and you guys, where were you going?" human?"

—"Human?" , Yang asked herself and then simply dragged her sister away from Kurama, — "I don't want to alarm you, but I think we've found another problem in Naruto."

—"Oh yeah? Which one?"

—"I don't know, maybe he has multiple personalities or something. From the little we know about Naruto, he hasn't had an easy life and I'm starting to believe he's a lot worse than we thought, and this idiot Kurama maybe be another personality of his," she said with great doubt.

Then there was the sound of something or someone sniffing some object and Yang felt the breath on her neck.

—"You smell like sunflowers, it's a pleasant aroma."

Yang immediately swung a punch at Naruto or that other personality of Naruto, but the Uzumaki simply parried the fist with one hand. —"Very temperamental, you have great strength, but... why do you get angry?"

—"It is very rude to smell a lady's hair."

—" Please, Yang, you are anything but a lady. You are much better than a simple princess you hear in fairy tales . " Naruto cornered her on a wall,—" You are a warrior, a beautiful warrior who could just crush you in my hands, I love subduing strong people, you will resist, but in the end you will only want more of me.

Ruby accidentally pushed Naruto to the ground.

Naruto was left laughing on the floor and Ruby felt very sorry for his action, but what surprised her most was seeing Yang completely blushing. He hadn't expected that reaction from her and it made him feel a strong pounding in his chest and a shortness of breath.

—"Yang, are you okay?" Rubí asked him with concern.

—"I don't know, Ruby. I'm confused," Yang responded dazedly.

Ruby watched Naruto who was still laughing lying down.

—"Well, uh... Kurama. I don't think it would be very comfortable to sleep in the hallway, do you?"

—" No, not really. I've slept in worse places, but it's not pleasant."

—"Well... I... I propose... do you want to sleep in our room? If that's okay with you, of course," Rubí said cautiously.

—" Would you give me a bed? Because I think you only have four beds and they are just enough for you."

—"I will sleep with my sister."

Yang looked at Naruto warily and nodded.

—" Okay. Then I accept the offer. Thank you very much, Ruby Rose. You know, maybe we could sleep together and maybe I could tell you some stories. Many interesting things have happened to me and even more incredible things have happened to Naruto."

Yang quickly pulled Ruby away from Naruto,—"You'll just go to sleep and don't do anything weird, because if not..."

—" Yes, yes, I know. You're going to kill me. Don't worry, I won't do anything with you. After all this won't last long. Maybe an hour. So good night, " Naruto or Kurama as He called himself, he entered the RWBY team room first, took the first bed that was free and lay down.

—" Oh, by the way, girls. This thing that happened here ," said Kurama/Naruto pointing to the scene.—" never happened. Please don't mention it tomorrow."


Kurama was lying on the bed with his hands behind his head, or rather, Naruto's body possessed by Kurama. He looked at the cold wooden ceiling and enjoyed the feeling on his skin. It had been a long time since he had experienced something like this, thousands of years had passed.

Now that Naruto had broken the seal, he had a little freedom in Naruto's subconscious and he always wanted to try if he could take control of Naruto's body to feel the world again, and if it was possible, of course. He did it secretly from his guardian, but it didn't matter, as long as he didn't notice, nothing bad would happen. TRUE?.

"Oh, this is so pleasant, and this bed is very soft," Kurama looked like a child. —"And this is your bed, Ruby Rose? It smells like roses, it's incredible."

—"Shut up already, please!" Ruby was very embarrassed. She was lying next to her sister, and Kurama who was supposed to be asleep, she wasn't. He was just lying there, rambling in his thoughts and saying some nonsense about ninjas, ninja weapons, hand seals and his jailer.

Apparently this personality of Naruto was locked inside Naruto and he would talk to the blonde from time to time. This was worrying, knowing that Naruto had someone he conversed with in his mind was worrying. You could say that Naruto was a little crazy.

—"So... Kurama?" Yang asked with some doubt.—"Who are you?"

—" Yes, I am the incredible Kurama, the greatest of all beasts, unbeatable in all kingdoms. No one can beat me , " he said arrogantly.

—"I... I see. And how long have you known Naruto?" Yang asked.

—" Since he was born, we were always together. You can say that in some way we are friends. In fact, yes, we are friends. We have made peace recently, we didn't get along very well."

—"And why didn't you get along very well with Naruto?" Ruby said.

—" Oh, well, I'm stuck in it and frankly it's not pleasant at all. I'm there, just lying there and waiting for that idiot to do something interesting or at least react and not let the others treat him like garbage. It's a annoying, I say, someone with his power and his inhuman capabilities should be the king of the world. He should conquer it, he should subjugate humanity, he should rule everything that exists and over the entire earth, nothing should be denied him. .

Ruby and Yang looked at each other, Kurama, Naruto's alternate personality. Yes, he wasn't completely good, he could be said to be evil.

— "Naruto is not like that," said Rubí.

"Yes, I understand Naruto's reasoning, he is a good person?" Kurama asked doubtfully.

—"Naruto is a very good person and a great friend."

— " I'm not interested in sentimental details, Ruby Rose, I don't need to hear that, I've heard it many times already. Naruto is this, Naruto that, Naruto is such and such. Believe me, you get bored quickly. And yes, it's true, Naruto is a totally altruistic being... to a certain point. I'm just trying to make him see that he shouldn't let people walk all over him. Believe me, you know this Naruto, but he was much worse than you think. He was a smiling fool at everything and everything. Despite all the things they said about him and how they treated him, he always smiled as if he hadn't been hurt. He could have easily gotten revenge and not let himself be treated like that, but he decided to let himself be hurt instead of acting like he should. " It was irritating . Kurama's voice was filled with fury, but then he sighed, —"But he has changed a lot, he has improved a lot . "

The two girls simply remained silent. It seemed that this Kurama guy was some kind of defense for Naruto, perhaps he created it in his moment of weakness to make himself strong so to speak. He was a little sad.

— "What can you tell me about yourself, Naruto? Sorry, Kurama." Yang asked.

— " Well, there's not much to tell. I spend all my time sleeping... I always spend all my time sleeping. Could you tell your dog to stop growling at me?"

—" You're lazy". Yang stated without taking Kurama's complaint into account.

—" I'm not lazy, I recently started training, and if I were free I would do other things, like have sex and drink alcohol."

— "Naruto, you shouldn't talk about those things so openly." Ruby said with a blush on her cheeks.

— " What things? Sex and alcohol? Or rather sex."

—"Of both things."

—" Come on, Ruby Rose, sex is a natural part of human life. Someday you will experience it, sooner rather than later, maybe with a man or maybe with a woman. Or maybe with both. By the way, how will it feel to have sexual relations? Someday I would like to try it . "

The girls looked at Naruto with a flat, expressionless gaze.

— "Are you serious, Naruto?" Yang asked.

— " Yes, of course... You mean the call, right? It was a lot of fun." Kurama was laughing so hard that even Yang and Ruby were afraid their classmates would wake up.

—" It was funny. Dumb Naruto has no idea what he did that night. For Kami's sake, he even asked me what happened, but I refuse to tell him . It's cool to see his idiotic face."

— "Wow, you don't hold anything back, do you, Kurama?" Yang said. —"But hey, since we're at it, why don't you tell me some anecdotes about Naruto?"

—" Of course " . Kurama stood up and looked around. — "What is that delicious aroma? It smells sweet."

Then he got out of bed and started sniffing the floor like a dog. Yang and Ruby covered their mouths to keep from laughing. Kurama walked over to Ruby's drawer and opened it. He took out some clothes, underwear. Ruby became alarmed and tried to approach Naruto, but she didn't need to. Kurama or Naruto simply discarded the clothes and took out a small box. He opened it and it was cookies.

—" Curious, so these are the famous cookies, I have never tried them."

—"What the hell are you talking about?" Yang said, her teeth clenched at Kurama's actions.

—" Let's see , " Kurama tried the first bite of the cookie and was surprised by the taste, —" kami, this is incredible, and he began to devour all the cookies eagerly."

— "Wait! No, these are my last cookies," and Ruby threw herself at Naruto and they fought over the cookies.

— "Hey! That's enough! Stop making noise! I'm resting," Weiss shouted very annoyed and when she looked down, she saw a very curious scene, Ruby and Naruto struggling over a cookie, and when Naruto He saw the aforementioned Schnee simply smiled at him.

— " But what do we have here, if it's the human with white hair . "

— "Naruto?" Weiss said a little surprised and then looked at Yang and Ruby, — "why is he here?"

— "It's a long story," Yang said.

Ruby simply took advantage of the moment to take the cookie from Kurama.

— " No, wait, Ruby Rose, give me that cookie back, it's mine, I found it."

— "Haha, of course not, it was in my clothes drawer and it's obviously mine."

—" ¡give it to me!".

—"No!", she simply walked away and swallowed the cookie and when she finished swallowing it she started laughing.

Kurama frowned, —"you'll see little human, for snatching my cookie, the fury will be tremendous and ferocious, nothing will be able to stop me."

— "Haha, okay? Well, you'll have to catch me first," said Rubí.

—"Enough fighting!" Weiss shouted, —"Naruto, I don't understand what you're doing here, but go to sleep now."

Naruto/kurama, smiled mischievously, — " I could do that, I could sleep, but the truth is that I feel a little lonely."

— "Oh no," Yang said, sighing.

Wasting no time, Kurama climbed onto the bunk and positioned himself over Weiss. She blushed very much.

—"W-What are you trying to do, Naruto? If this is a joke, I swear I'm going to freeze your damn balls."

—" Ah, I like that language. You're so modest, but at last it seems like you're letting go a little."

Kurama grabbed Weiss's wrist and pressed her into the mattress. Then he snuggled up to her and hugged her from behind her. Weiss blushed even more. What the hell was happening? He had no idea what was happening, but why question this? She simply rested her back on Naruto's chest and got off of her, still very blushing.

—" You know? That idiot Naruto is very unconscious, but I'm not like him. I have no qualms about taking what I want."

Silence spread through the room. Yang, Ruby and Weiss didn't say anything. Ruby got on her sister's bed and they hugged. They were looking towards Kurama and Weiss, who were standing together.

Weiss felt embarrassed, but also comfortable. She was in the arms of the person she loved, even if it wasn't him. —" White-haired human."

—"It's Weiss, Naruto. Stop fooling around."

—" I'm sorry, Miss Schnee. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. It's so soft to the touch, it smells like… I don't know how to describe this aroma… it's like morning dew, it's incredible and downright captivating."

Naruto's breath was so close to Weiss's neck that she started to feel hot.

—"Can we stay here for a while? I'll be leaving tomorrow morning. I'd like to take advantage of this to have something nice in my arms, if you'll allow me."

—"Do whatever you want," Weiss said sweetly.

Kurama closed his eyes and in an instant, too quickly, he fell asleep. It seems that the time when Kurama could use Naruto's body is over.

—"Weiss?" Ruby said embarrassedly.

—"Don't say anything, Ruby." Tomorrow we will talk about this. For now, leave me like this, with him. She whispered that last part.


The morning was splendid as always, a good day. Everyone was sleeping peacefully, well, almost everyone. Ruby, Yang and Blake looked up at the top bed of the bunk, where Weiss and Naruto were sleeping peacefully.

—"So... how did Naruto get here?" Blake asked.

—"It's a long story. He was sleeping in the hallway, so we invited him to sleep here," Yang replied.

—"Ah, I understand. And why with Weiss?"

—"He chose it that way, I think," Rubí hesitated.

—"Should we wake them up?" Blake asked.

—"We should," Ruby and Yang said at the same time, but none of the three girls moved, they just looked at the sleeping boys.

—"It's surprising that Naruto dared to hug Weiss. It seems like he already realized that she is in love with him," Blake commented.

—"No, of course not. That's not why," Yang said with a mocking laugh. — "Well..." And then her expression changed to a little sad, — "it was practically not his decision, so to speak."

—"What are you talking about?".

—"I'll tell you later, Blake. For now let's just let the lovebirds rest. After all, we don't have school and we're at the vital festival. The next fight is between Winchester and a guy named Chrysler."

Yang surreptitiously took out a marker from her pocket, but was stopped by Ruby with a fierce look.

—"Neither do you intend, Yang".

—"Please, let me have some fun."

—"No, no, Yang. You know very well that that could have very serious consequences. Naruto is not someone we should play with. You know very well what happened to the guy who played a prank on Naruto."

—"Yes, you're right," Ruby, Yang put away her marker and walked away from Naruto.

They heard someone knock on the door. The three girls looked at each other confused. Who would call so early? They decided to open the door. Or rather, Rubí decided to open the door and there she saw Nora and Ren who greeted her cheerfully, well, only Nora, Ren was all calm as always.

—"Hello, Ruby! How are you? One question. Look, I don't know if you've seen Naruto around here."

—"N-no, no, of course not," said Rubí desperately. He didn't want to have problems. Now that they knew about Pyrrha, and if she sees Naruto with Weiss right now, it wouldn't be a nice morning.

Nora believed Ruby's answer but Ren didn't, Ren suspected something.

—"Well, what I want is to borrow Naruto's console to play tonight. Can you...?" Nora tried to open the door a little, but Rubí forcefully prevented her from doing so.

—"Leave it to me, I'll take it to you!" Rubí exclaimed.

—"No need, I can look for it myself," Nora responded innocently.

—"No, it's not necessary," Rubí pressed harder on the door, but Nora was stronger and was able to resist the push.

—"What are you hiding there, Ruby?" Ren asked suspiciously.

—"N-nothing, nothing, nothing, it's just that our room is very messy and I'm embarrassed for you to see the chaos."

—"Rubí, we have entered her room many times, do you know how many times we have seen them untidy? We don't care about that," Ren said in a serious tone, but distrustful of Rubí.

Yang hugged her sister Ruby, who looked nervous, and greeted her with a smile. — "What's wrong with you, Rubí?" She Then she turned to the others, — "Hello guys, good morning. How are you?"

—"Very well, Yang. Good morning," Ren replied,—"But we want to know why you won't let us in to see what's in your room."

—"And what do you want to see?" Yang asked.

—"A video game console," said Nora.

—"Ah, I see. Well, I can bring them to you."

—"No, I prefer to go personally and look for that console," Nora insisted.

—"It's just... our... room is very messy, there are things everywhere and well..."

—"Naruto is here, right?"

—"N-no, what are you talking about? Naruto is not here..."

Nora and Ren looked at each other and let out a sigh. It was clear that Naruto was there.

—"Well, anyway, we want to have a calm and trouble-free morning, so please wake up Naruto and we'll meet in the dining room."

—"Okay," Yang greeted.

—"Is Naruto here?" asked a voice behind them. Ren and Nora tensed.

Pyrrha Nikos stood behind them with a charming and sweet smile, as always. There was no malice in her, just a bit of guilt. She wanted to apologize to Naruto for last night, when she made him sleep outside like a dog.

—"No, no, no," Nora said nervously. — "Naruto is not here, of course not. Why would he sleep in team RWBY's room? He's probably in a hotel in Vale."

—"Nora, at that time there is no Bullhead to take him to Vale. He is obviously here. But don't worry, Naruto wouldn't do anything inappropriate with the girls or his friends," Pyrrha said with a smile.— "Naruto isn't from those".

The redhead pushed the door, but this time she was stopped by Yang and Ruby at the same time.

—"Girls?" Pyrrha said suspiciously,— "what's going on in there?"

—"N-nothing you have to worry about," said Rubí stuttering.

Pyrrha narrowed her eyes. — "Naruto is here, so I guess he did something. What did he do?"

—"no, nothing to worry about," Yang was a little alarmed and Pyrrha pushed the door a little more, it was incredibly stronger than they thought, not even Ruby and Yang had enough strength to stop the redhead.

Pyrrha grew impatient and used all her strength to push the two girls who were blocking her way. She slowly entered the room and looked at the beds. In the upper left bed of her was Weiss, but what caught her attention the most or what infuriated her the most was seeing Naruto hugging her. The two slept peacefully, snuggled up to each other.

Pyrrha slowly approached that bed, with an amused look. She didn't frown. She was calm, but she seemed like she was taking it too well. The atmosphere was tense and cold. — "I get it, I get it. So Naruto is here, hugging Weiss... the damn bastard," she said with a language that surprised everyone. It wasn't a good sign. —"I felt bad for making you sleep outside, Naruto, but it seems like I should have been harsher with you. Maybe I should have made you sleep in a damn pond with ice cubes so your damn balls would freeze," he growled angrily, but He failed to wake up the two sleeping boys.

—"Look how happy you are, resting while I felt guilty." How good, how good, she said with a smile.

—"I would let you sleep with this little white-haired usurper, but I'm afraid we have fights to do, Naruto. So I'll have to interrupt your beautiful dream. I hope you have some excuse, because if not you're going to regret it."

Uzumaki Naruto just moved his cheek closer to Weiss's and moaned in joy. —"Mmm, Sakura-chan, I don't want to wake up, please leave me alone."

Pyrrha's eyebrow twitched. Not only was she sleeping with Weiss, but she was thinking about another woman while she slept. —"Damn dog," the redhead murmured. She brought her hand closer to Weiss and tapped her cheek. She really wanted to hit her, but she restrained herself. —"Wake up, Weiss."

—"W-what? What's happening?" she asked. —"Please let me sleep."

—"Wake up, Weiss," Pyrrha insisted.

—"Five minutes more".

—"Are you comfortable?" Pyrrha asked with a frown and anger coming out of her mouth.

—"Yes, I am very comfortable."

—"I see, I see," said Pyrrha. Then Weiss snapped her eyes open and saw everyone in the room. He blushed a lot, his face turned red and he wanted to disappear from everyone's sight.

He remembered what happened last night. Naruto was sleeping next to her... —"Naruto, wake up," Weiss whispered to Naruto.

—"Please, Sakura-chan, a little more to the left, you do it so well, hehehe... a little more."

Weiss's eyebrow twitched. This idiot dreamed of another woman. —"Naruto Uzumaki, wake up!" He shouted loudly and Naruto opened his eyes. He looked around the room with a lost, sleepy look.

—"What? W-What is this? I don't recognize this room."

—"Of course not, idiot," Ren said with a groan,—"It's team RWBY's room."

—"Really? How did I get here?"

—"You say," said Nora with an amused look,—"How did you get here?"

—"Honestly, I don't know. But I was sleeping in the hallways... what happened, Kurama? "

Then Naruto was thoughtful.

It was only an instant, but that instant was enough for Yang and Ruby to realize something. So Naruto was talking to this Kurama guy.

—"What's going on? " .

—"And why are you talking to me ? "

—" Come on, don't play dumb! What happened last night? "

—..." You were sleeping in the hallways and well, you just got up and walked to Team RWBY's room and lay down on Weiss' bed."

—" Damn, I hope he doesn't kill me for that... Although I could take advantage of this situation and die with dignity."

—" Friend, you have a sleepwalking problem. We have to solve it in the future."

—" Wow, this has never happened to me . "

Naruto returned to reality and looked at his companions. —"Well, I have no idea how I got here. It seems like I'm sleepwalking, or something."

Naruto hugged Weiss' body tighter. —"Well, good morning. I hope you slept well. And Pyrrha... I expect an apology from you."

—"Well, you can wait seated, Uzumaki," Pyrrha said.

—"Come on, Pyrrha. You know I only got into your business because I cared about you. If you had been anyone else, I wouldn't have bothered to ask you what was wrong."

—"Yes, well you can go to hell, Uzumaki."

—...Well, I guess I tried. Are you better than yesterday?"

—"Yes, I'm fine," Pyrrha said with a flat, calm voice.

—"Whatever is bothering you, I'm not going to ask you anymore. But you have to know that you can count on me."

—"You can let go of Weiss now," Pyrrha said annoyed. The tranquility she tried to maintain was breaking down.

—"But it's very comfortable," said Naruto.


—"Cinder Fall has won this duel with a devastating blow!"

The stadium erupted in cheers and applause, but Cinder ignored them. He was not interested in those people who hailed his name, they seemed repulsive to him. He was only there for a mission that he had to fulfill.

—"How tedious, these duels of the vital festival. Let them make good use of them, because they will be the last."

—"Cinder, you've done it!" Esmeralda Sustrai exclaimed, hugging her boss with enthusiasm. It was a lie to pretend that there was camaraderie on that team, although the hug felt quite sincere. Esmeralda took advantage of that moment to approach her beloved Cinder, who knew very well the feelings she had for her. And that was good for her, because she could take advantage of that love of hers to control her, to use her as a mere tool. She didn't want her for anything else, she didn't want her as her friend, she only wanted her as obedient.

—"You have done very well, you have done very well," she murmured in a low voice.

At some point on this trip, on this mission, his heart began to shrink. He seemed like he felt doubts. How was it possible? Why would he doubt something he would have done without hesitation a long time ago? He didn't like hurting people, but he didn't have any problem doing it either. It was strange. Since Cinder arrived here he started to feel guilty. The guilt of the years weighed on him, but he refused to acknowledge it. —"Why would that be?"

She looked at the stadium again, she looked at the happy people, she looked at all those who supported her in that duel. —" Idiots, you don't know who you're supporting."

But more specifically he saw something curious. There was a big banner that said her name. —"Cinder." She was held by Jaune's team, who were happily cheering her name. For a moment she felt tears in her eyes. Yes, it was her fault. Every day she spent with that boy at that time hurt her. She was aching with guilt. If he found out what kind of person he had become, she wouldn't stand it. She didn't want him to see her like that, so that she could recognize that she was no longer that brave girl who played with him when she was little. No, she became an irredeemable monster.

—"Very good, Cinder!" Jaune's voice was heard throughout the crowd. — Very good! I'm the next one to fight! So I hope you support me!" He shouted loudly.

Cinder smiled. His gaze became nostalgic. This boy hasn't changed at all. He is still that dreamy child from that time, who proclaimed from the rooftops that he would be a hero like her ancestors, that he would be there for her at all times. That was a promise, a promise he broke. And she understood it, she was mature enough to understand that he was just a child at that time, that they were children who couldn't do anything, they didn't have the strength to defy destiny, things happened and they just happened. She was hurt and he left that place, he couldn't do anything for her. But now that he is here, and now knowing what he is capable of doing, she for an instant she wished..., she wished to be with him and do what they once promised. Find and have a happy ending like in fairy tales.

—"But it's already late." Cinder whispered.


—"What is it that catches your attention so much?" a woman asked a man who was contemplating the sea serenely with his hands behind his back.

—"The horizon..., the horizon. It's amazing how beautiful this world is."

—"You shouldn't be wasting your time looking at the horizon, it's there every day. We have to take care of all the preparations, you know that, don't you?"

—"Yes, I know. Don't worry, everything is going well, Sienna. Trust your workers completely, even if you don't believe it, they are very efficient. It's just that you demand too much of them when they have a limit."

—"Don't give me that, don't you have any intention of taking my position from me? These fools already prefer you."

—"Please, you know very well not, I just want to give you a hand, it's my promise, remember? You help me and I'll help you."

The aforementioned Sienna Khan crossed her arms and simply smiled wryly. —"Well, in fact you have given me much more help than I am giving you, I feel a little indebted to you actually.

—"I didn't think you felt guilty and worried about me."

The girl hit the young man on the shoulder. —"Idiot, you know this is not a partnership, I am giving very little and you are giving a lot."

—"Don't see it that way, even though it doesn't seem like it," the man looked toward the horizon again,— "you are doing much more than you think. Everything you are doing now I will forever appreciate, a lifetime will not It will be enough to return the favor you have done for me."

—"Stop that," she growled in frustration. —"Why do you talk like you're a damn poet? Shit, stop being so dramatic. I'm just building a damn house, an orphanage."

The man laughed at the words of Sienna, the leader of the White Fang. —"Miss, although it may not seem like it, in truth what you are doing for me is more than a simple orphanage, you are recreating a beautiful memory... You have accepted me here as a foreigner, although I am a faun I have practically not set foot in Menagerie never in my life and yet he has accepted me, he accepted the people I brought with me, even though they were humans and he accepted a whim of mine, to build an orphanage.

The man took out a small photograph, in it was a woman with white hair and smiling in front of an orphanage. It was an old place, but very well maintained. She was beautiful, with white hair and red eyes, it seemed like light was shining on her, her beauty was almost unreal.

—"This orphanage is not simply a random house that is built just because, it is a memory and a thank you to all those people who do good deeds without asking for anything in return, who receive nothing for everything they have done and who They don't even have back the love that they gave to other people."

The man put the photograph away and looked at the horizon again. Sienna also continued to look at the horizon with that man, they were silent. An awkward silence just for Sienna. In fact she didn't know what else to say, for the first time in her life she felt like she couldn't add anything to the conversation. So she opted to just keep looking at the horizon. She wondered what was behind that deep and melancholic look of the man, what story she was hiding behind that photograph, what feelings she harbored in her heart.

—"The environment in Menagerie is very pure and clean. There is not much technology here, except in the largest kingdoms. It is surprising how this place works. It has a warm climate, like those places you see in the movies where people go to have a party and gets so drunk that he doesn't remember anything the next day. Menagerie reminds me of those places.

—"Are you implying that Menagerie is only for drinking alcohol?" Sienna asked with narrowed eyes. The man walked away a little and waved his hands nervously.

—"No, no, no, of course not. I'm just saying that this place has a positive energy that makes you feel like staying here."

—"Now," she frowned and looked at the horizon again.

—"I'm serious. This is good. The people I brought here were in a dangerous place, where there was a lot of crime and I had to work hard so that they had money and the things they have now. I wanted a safe place where they could "Menagerie is not only safe, it's happy, it's incredibly welcoming. That's what I wanted to tell you, Sienna. I didn't want to offend you or anything."

The White Fang leader let out a sigh. —"I understand, you have the ability to express yourself, but sometimes you lack social skills."

—"Well," the man touched the back of his head. — "I know, since he was a child he didn't have much relationship with people. In fact, they excluded me."

—"I'm sorry for that. It is an injustice that humans and even our kind have rejected you. I offer you my apologies on behalf of our race."

—"It's not necessary, as I said, the experiences I had in the past shaped me and everything I do is out of necessity."

—"I see, it's admirable that you managed to become this," she said, pointing to the man's body.

—"Thank you," again the subjects contemplated the horizon but the silence between the two was no longer uncomfortable, but pleasant.

—"Hey, you've never told me and it's been a while... What's the name of the girl in the photo?" .

—"…Delilah".

—"She was very special to you, right?"

—"...Yes,... she was. She was my best friend and my partner."


Naruto Uzumaki walked calmly through the hallways, putting his hands behind his head and smiling radiantly. He had just participated in the vital festival, a combat tournament between students from different academies, and had emerged victorious without problems. He was now heading towards where his friends from Team NNPR and Team RWBY were, hoping to receive their congratulations and praise for his impressive performance in each fight.

—"How are you guys?" , he greeted them happily when he saw them, — "Did you see my epic battle?"

Ren looked at him indifferently.

—"Naruto, it only took you five minutes to defeat your rival, five minutes. You could have finished earlier if you hadn't started playing and flirting with the girl."

—"Yes," Nora added with her arms crossed.— "And Pyrrha doesn't talk to you either because she's still angry with you."

Pyrrha nodded, not looking at the Uzumaki.

—"Come on, guys, really?" Naruto protested calmly, "I wasn't flirting with her, I was just admiring her way of fighting. It's not common to see someone using nunchakus and her weapon not having any mechanical changes."

—"Naruto," Nora intervened, capturing his attention,— "Listen carefully to what I'm going to tell you: when you go into combat, you have to do one of these three things: either mock your enemy, or show him your respect, or finish him quickly. You don't do any of those things, you just flirt with any woman who comes in front of you.

—"How many times do I have to say it again, my dear Nora?" Naruto replied.— "I wasn't flirting with her, I was just paying her compliments."

—"Oh, yes? And why don't you do them to me when we fight?"

—"Do you want me to compliment you? But the last time I complimented you, you almost broke my legs and Ren almost strangled me. Ren, I understand that you feel a little threatened by me, but don't worry, Nora only has eyes for you." "Naruto said mockingly.

—"Stop saying that!" Nora shouted, blushing. —"Ren and I are not like that, we are friends."

—"Yes, yes, best friends, I know," Naruto rolled his eyes. He didn't buy that lie.

She knew that Nora felt more than friendship for Ren, but she didn't dare confess her feelings to him. And Ren, well, Ren was a very calm and quiet guy, who didn't express his emotions much. Naruto didn't know if he also loved Nora as more than a friend, or if he was just as shy as her. Ren was an enigma to him, a man of few words who rarely got upset. Although Naruto had the gift of getting on people's nerves and had often managed to anger Ren.

—"I was the winner, so we deserve to celebrate with some drinks."

—"Of course!", everyone exclaimed enthusiastically, except Pyrrha.

The others headed to a food stand, but first they had to leave the hallway. In that period of time, Naruto and Pyrrha were left alone and watched as their friends walked away.

—"Pyrrha, I know why you're angry. Well, it's pretty obvious, because you confessed to me what you feel for me... I don't remember how I got to the RWBY team room, it seems like I'm sleepwalking."

—"Yes, it's a very believable and convenient excuse for you, Naruto. Tell me, did you like hugging Weiss? She's small, maybe I'm too tall, but I'm sure you'd like hugging me more."

Naruto coughed a little and looked away, blushing. —"You've become very bold, Pyrrha. I'm not very used to this." Naruto's expression became serious. —"You know, I don't understand what happened yesterday afternoon..."

—"I did not want to do it..."

—"You were a little upset, I know, don't worry, the whole Ozpin thing is solved."

Pyrrha looked at her leader, that look she had, a knowing look, was not a very good sign and Pyrrha highly doubted what Naruto did.

—"Naruto, what the hell did you do?" .

—"I did not do anything".

—"Naruto, what the hell did you do?" she asked more insistently.

—"I didn't do anything," Naruto walked towards where his companions were to catch up with them, but Pyrrha followed him and continued asking.

—"Naruto, what did you do?"

—"I already told you that I haven't done anything."

—"Naruto, I'm going to ask you just once," Pyrrha said fearfully. —"What the hell did you do, Naruto?"

The other members of the group were watching Pyrrha's behavior strangely, as she showed a look of fear and doubt. Then, Pyrrha grabbed Naruto's shoulder tightly and said:

—"Naruto, I know that you are very good at hiding your emotions and that nothing is noticeable in your tone or your attitude, but tell me the truth: what did you do? You are an excellent liar, I have realized that in a short time that I know you."

—"Oh, that hurt me, Pyrrha."

—"So I'm going to ask you again: what did you do?"

—"I didn't do anything," Naruto replied calmly. In fact, he seemed very sincere.

All eyes were on Naruto and he was simply smiling. Come on,—"guys, when a person tells you to stay calm because everything is solved, don't ask any more questions. Everything is solved."

—"Naruto," Weiss said with her arms crossed, "you have to be very suspicious when a person tells you "calm down, everything is solved," because you don't know how that person solved everything."

—"I'm confused here," Yang said.

—"Right, you were a little angry, right?" Ren said. —"Well, Pyrrha has been acting a little strange since the day before yesterday and we don't know what happened. Pyrrha refuses to talk and we leave it at that."

—"Uncle Qrow," Ruby said with some enthusiasm.

Qrow Branwen passed by him along with Principal Ozpin and Deputy Principal Glynda Goodwitch. They were just passing through, they were heading to the director's office.

Principal Ozpin and Naruto Uzumaki stared into each other's eyes. The atmosphere became tense, there was not a single sound, and there were many people around. It seemed that this entire sector was focused only on them. Everyone felt the discomfort in the atmosphere. Glynda Goodwitch was simply observing Naruto Uzumaki as was Qrow.

—"Mr. Uzumaki," the headmaster greets you, Ozpin said politely.

—"Director, are you heading to your office?" Naruto asked with a smile, as if he didn't care about the discomfort that was in the air,— "I hope our deal or our agreement is still in force, isn't it? ".

—"So it will be, Mr. Uzumaki."

—"I'm glad to hear it... Miss Goodwitch, good morning. You are as beautiful as ever."

Glynda took a step back. Something that the students did not expect to see in her was reflected in her eyes: fear and trepidation, caused by Naruto's words. Qrow tensed.

—"Mr. Branwen, it is a pleasure to see you. Please do not drink alcohol, it is bad for your health."

Qrow chose not to answer anything. He simply waited for Ozpin to turn around to walk away from that place. After Naruto's display of overwhelming power, they didn't feel very confident being around this boy. Upon witnessing the enormous power that Naruto had, all that primordial fear that they kept in his heart overflowed. The boy wasn't normal, they didn't know what kind of monster Naruto Uzumaki was. Principal Ozpin simply nodded his head and left.

As he walked, Ozpin spoke,—"Lord Uzumaki, I hope you are enjoying the fighting."

—"Of course yes, sir. The fights are interesting and many have given me a fun challenge. I hope that you continue doing what you do, just keep working, director."

—"I will do so, Mr. Uzumaki," Director Ozpin disappeared from sight along with his companions.

—"Naruto," Pyrrha exclaimed in a firm and stern voice, —"what have you done?"

Naruto sighed, —"well, maybe I went to the principal's office…and there is mmmmgmas," he muttered so quietly that no one could hear those words.

—"Excuse me Naruto, what did you say?" Weiss asked with a louder but insistent tone.

—"maybe me, Naruto and donmamazado," he tried to answer but couldn't.

— "we didn't hear you Naruto," Ren said, — "what did you do?"

—"okay guys, okay," Naruto said raising his hands,—"don't be mad at me please and I don't want you to make a fuss about this, you see, I Naruto Uzumaki, I may have gone to Principal Ozpin's office and threatened him."

Those words were difficult for Naruto to say, well, actually they shouldn't be that difficult, but with his friends it seemed that the words weren't coming out.

Everyone stayed silent, their eyes were open and they couldn't even say a single word. Weiss tried to say something but her words wouldn't come out, they choked when they tried to say even one letter.

—"Yes, guys, I know, I know what I did and it was very bad, it is exactly what you think and what you are going to say, it is exactly what I am willing to accept and I am aware that I made a mistake, but Tell me, what choice did I have? Pyrrha was acting strangely and Ozpin was obviously responsible even though she didn't want to admit it."

Naruto had gone to Principal Ozpin's office and threatened him, and Weiss was shouting at him:

—"That's crazy, Naruto! How did you think of going to threaten Principal Ozpin?"

—"And not only him, but also Glynda, Qrow and General Ironwood," Naruto confessed.

—"What?! You also confronted the general?", Weiss became even more indignant,—"You're an idiot, Naruto! What did you mean by that?!"

—"I admit, it was reckless on my part. But I couldn't sit still while Pyrrha suffered."

Pyrrha looked away, feeling uncomfortable.

—"I don't know exactly what Ozpin's intentions were, but I can assure you something, Pyrrha: you no longer have to worry about what he told you. Ozpin will find someone else for his plan, because it is what is best for him," Naruto said with a dark voice and his friends sensed the malice in his tone.

Naruto turned around and started to walk.

—"Well, guys, I've already explained what happened. Now let's have fun."

—"Naruto!" Pyrrha stopped him forcefully, "You can't go around doing those things. Damn, why are you doing it? This matter was between Ozpin and me."

—"And you," Naruto replied without turning around. —"But if you are bad, it affects the team. Besides, I did the same thing that you did with me: insist and insist on getting involved in your affairs, like you did with mine. Believe me, Pyrrha," Naruto stopped for a moment and He looked at her with a smile. —"I would do many things for my friends and many of them could be considered impossible to do, but somehow I would do them. For you, Pyrrha, there would be no wall or mountain that I would not climb. In this world, nothing will stand in my way As long as you are well, my dear friend and companion, nothing will matter.

Pyrrha was speechless at Naruto's words. She didn't know how to react to her noble and risky gesture. She felt grateful, but also guilty for involving him in a problem that was not his.

Weiss was still angry at Naruto for his recklessness. She couldn't understand how he had been able to stand up to the most important authorities of the academy and the kingdom. She feared that this would lead to serious consequences, both for him and the rest of the team.

The other team members were also surprised by Naruto's attitude. Some admired him for his bravery and loyalty, others criticized him for his irresponsibility and lack of respect. But they all agreed that Naruto was a faithful friend and that he would always be willing to help them.

Naruto continued walking with a firm step towards the place where they had met to have fun. He didn't care what others thought of him. The only thing he cared about was the well-being of Pyrrha and her friends. He was determined to protect them from any threat, even if it meant defying Principal Ozpin himself.

Pyrrha was blushing at the Uzumaki's words and said with a trembling voice:

—"But, Naruto, it's one thing for you to help me and another for you to threaten people like that."

—"You're right, Pyrrha. Next time I'll try another approach," Naruto said.

—"I don't understand how you can do something like that! I mean, confront Principal Ozpin and the General! That's something only a madman would do!" she shouted louder.

—'Many people do things, Pyrrha. Some for the thrill, the adrenaline. I do it for love.'

The words choked on Pyrrha and she stopped as did the others. Their eyes were open. She turned so red that it seemed like her face and her hair were one and the same. She stammered.

—"Looks like it's time for me to be the one to make you blush, my dear," Naruto said, turning around and bowing. — "And the masked wizard did it again."


—"Do you remember when I accidentally broke your game console?"

—"Yes, you still owe me one."

—"Well, I have a new one and it's state-of-the-art, I'll give it to you."

—"Seriously?"

—Of course".

—"Hahaha," Jaune laughed. —"The truth was it was a bit comical, you looked like a lost child, as if you had never seen a video game console in your life."

—"And that's how it was."

—"Really, Naruto?"

Jaune widened his eyes in disbelief. —"Where you lived?".

—"In a village with little technology."

—"This Konoha".

—"It wasn't called Konoha... eh... it was called Kuruyui, that's the name of the village I lived in before." Naruto looked away.

—"And why do you call it Konoha?"

—"Well... it was... a joke, so to speak... that town was full of leaves, so that's what I called it." Naruto lied.

—"Wow, it was hard. I mean, at your age, losing your home and stuff."

—"No, it was not as hard as you think, in fact it made me stronger and I am very grateful to the circumstances because otherwise I would not have met you, my friend." Naruto hugged Jaune by the neck. In fact, he had to raise his arm because Jaune was at least a head taller than him.

—"And tell me Cinder, where do you come from?"

—"Atlas," she said. —"Or more specifically Mantle."

—"The small city that is below Atlas, but you study in Mistral."

This is annoying, Cinder Fall thought. She was having a nice time alone with Jaune but suddenly our blonde idiot appeared out of nowhere and stood between the two of them. He was like the third wheel in the relationship. Cinder didn't want him to be here and Jaune despite his friendly demeanor actually didn't want Naruto to be here. She wanted to be with Cinder, but he was her best friend and she couldn't tell him.

—"Well, listen, the next fight is between Pyrrha and Penny."

—"Oh yeah, right," Jaune said with a dreamy voice. — "She'll put up a good fight, I swear. Although she doesn't look like it and being so small and thin, Penny is not someone she should be trifled with. She hits very hard." Jaune unconsciously clutched his stomach. He had trained with Penny a long time ago, ever since they met, and that girl was extremely strong. The first time he met her he took it easy but when he took the first hit from her, by holy Oum, he was more cautious with her. Do not judge a book by its cover.

Naruto nodded with interest. —"Penny seems very nice and kind."

—"Yes, she is. She is a good person and very intelligent too. She has a big dream: to become a hunter to protect from Atlas."

—"That's admirable. We will both be great hunters to help others and make friends."

Cinder frowned upon hearing Naruto's words. —"How naive you two are. Being a hunter is not as nice as you think. It is a cruel world full of dangers. Only the strongest survive and the weak are crushed."

Jaune felt offended by Cinder's comment. —"I don't think that's the case. I think there is goodness and hope in the world. And I think hunters should fight for that."

Cinder smiled evilly. —"Well, I believe that hunters should fight for their own benefit and power. And I believe that the world needs a radical change."

Naruto noticed the tension between Jaune and Cinder. —"Hey... guys... don't fight... why don't we go watch the fight? I'm sure it will be exciting."

Jaune sighed and nodded. —"Yes, you're right Naruto. Let's watch the fight."

Cinder followed them with a cold, calculating gaze.

Naruto smiled mischievously. —"Do you want to make a bet?"

—"Are you seriously going to bet on who is going to win among our friends?" Jaune said with his eyebrow raised. There was no response for a few seconds and then he smiled. —"Deal. The two shook hands."

Naruto and Jaune paid attention to the girl next to them. —"Oh, this brings back very good memories."

—"What kind of memories?" Jaune said as they walked alongside Cinder. She didn't speak, she was in the center of those two boys.

—"Well, a while ago... my academy carried out a kind of program so to speak... team building." Naruto had to lie in the details. —"Well, we were a group of three, I had a classmate, he was an idiot, yes, he was an idiot, he had all the talent that one would want to have, he was the favorite of the entire class, I also had a classmate who only had eyes For that classmate and I, well, I was me... there is nothing more to mention, at that time I was the worst in the class."

Jaune opened his eyes. —"You really?".

—"Yes, the teachers despaired of me, but leaving the subject aside, this guy was an idiot, an emo in every sense but the girl, this classmate only had eyes for him, I didn't understand it, I didn't understand why, but "I always went with him."

Jaune nodded his head. —"So we look like that group to you... So I'm the guy with the incredible abilities? The gloomy and melancholic one."

—"No, you remind me of the girl."

Jaune took offense. —"Really?".

—"Because Cinder," Naruto said looking at the aforementioned girl, looks a lot like that friend of mine, dark and sad.

Cinder shot a hateful look at Naruto. —"Haven't they told you that you are very talkative, Uzumaki?" Cinder said, frowning, this boy was really annoying.

—"Yes, they have told me, but normally I don't pay attention to what they say about me, well, in any case the next fight after my partner is ours, let's put on a good show." Naruto offered her his fist to hit, this Cinder saw the fist and continued looking, 2 minutes passed but nothing, the girl simply turned around and walked away.

—"Wow, he really looks a lot like my friend. Oh friend, you have a long way to go," said Naruto looking at Jaune.

—"Yes, I have a long journey ahead of me. I suppose that's true. What was this girl's name?"

—"Sakura, Sakura Haruno".

Naruto sighed as he remembered his former partner. — "She was very pretty and intelligent. But she was also very stubborn."

—"Nice name," Jaune raised his voice to catch the attention of the black-haired girl who was walking away from the two boys.—"Cinder, I'll be reserving a place for you near me. Come watch the game, it's going to be great!" He shouted loudly happily.

Cinder didn't turn to look at him, she just raised her thumb in affirmation and continued walking without stopping. Her mind was filled with doubts and fears. She knew that she had to fulfill her mission, that she could not fail her teacher, that she had to betray everyone around her. But she also had feelings for Jaune, something that made her doubt her actions. Why did it have to be him? Why did he have to be so kind, so funny, so persistent? Why did she make him feel things she had never felt before? She bit her lip hard, drawing blood. She hated this situation, she hated feeling guilty. Sometimes she wished that Jaune had never appeared in her life, that he had stayed on her farm far from the kingdoms, that her dream of being a hunter of hers had been just that, a dream. But he was here, and he had become a great fighter. And very soon she would have to face him. Jaune shouted his name with joy, and she felt like crying.

—" Why do you always make it so difficult for me? Why are you like this? Why are you so insistent? Why do you make me feel this way? " , Cinder wondered as she continued walking towards her destination,— " Why do you I can not forget you?" , she questioned herself as she remembered their moments together.— " Why can't I hate you? " , she reproached herself as she felt her heart beat faster.— "Why does it hurt me so much to betray you? ?" , she became distressed as she thought about her mission. — "Why can't I leave you?" , she lamented as she knew that she would soon have to face him.

—"Cinder Fall is a very beautiful but very complicated woman," said Naruto, Jaune's friend,— "I don't know how to explain it, but she has a very strong character and a bad temper. I would say it's not worth all the trouble." "But you are as stubborn as I am. You will continue to insist on her. I can't believe you fell in love with her in such a short time."

Jaune didn't say anything, just staring at the girl's back as she walked away.

—"I've known her before," he finally said.

Naruto was surprised, apparently he had made a mistake.

—"I knew her a long time ago."

—"Tell me, tell me. Since when?"

—"I will tell you one day. For now I can tell you that my love is not something fleeting or at first sight. In fact it started as a simple coincidence. Little by little I fell in love with her eyes, with the time I spent with her. "I never forgot her, she never disappeared from my heart. When I saw her again I was aware of what I felt I was always in love with her."


The two friends sat on the stage to watch the next match: Pyrrha Nikos against Penny Polendina. It was a fight highly anticipated by everyone: the invincible girl from Mistral and the prodigy from Atlas. Penny Polendina was an enigmatic girl, it was only known that she was part of the legendary Jaune Arc's team and that she had great talent for combat.

The audience was excited and shouted with excitement, eager to see the battle.

Pyrrha Nikos greeted the crowd with a smile and a raised hand. She was famous for her physical prowess and her Miló weapon, a red and bronze spear that could transform into a rifle or a short sword. She also carried a shield called Akoúo̱, which looked like a Greek hoplon. She had won the Mistral Regional Tournament four years in a row and was the face of Pumpkin Pete cornflakes. However, that had also caused her problems: many of her believed she was unbeatable and gave up on her before facing her.

But he didn't care about that a long time ago, maybe the other people could give up, but there was someone who didn't care about that and never gave up, and that was their leader. When he faced him for the first time in the school's combat arena it was a technical draw, they fought until the class hour was over, but something very curious was that their leader's aura did not drop at all, it remained at 100 % while she dropped to 60%, there was no clear winner because she had to be in the red to have lost, then she kept insisting on one more battle with Naruto and then they faced each other in the training room and she lost miserably, it was impressive how Naruto defeated her in an instant and without breaking a sweat. She was very surprised but inside her her fighting spirit was ignited again. There was a new objective to overcome and that was her leader, as long as he was still there with her other people didn't matter.

Naruto pulled a small red button out of his pocket and Jaune noticed it.

—"What's that?".

—"You know, I really admire your attempts to win over Cinder, they are admirable, but it's time for you to see the master and learn how things are done."

Naruto pressed the button and rockets flew into the sky and exploded, forming words that said: Pyrrha, you can do it, cheer up.

Pyrrha blushed, she really didn't expect this, she knew very well who it was, no one was crazy enough to interrupt the teachers' broadcast and set off fireworks without authorization, it was their leader, she covered her face and hid her blush. —"Wow, I can't really be mad at you, can I?" she said to herself.

—"That was awesome, why doesn't Jaune do that for me?" Penny said quietly but immediately perked up. —"I hope for a good fight Pyrrha Nikos."

—"So it will be," said Pyrrha preparing her shield and Penny her floating swords,— "This will be a completely epic battle and who knows what surprises tomorrow will bring."

Penny was eager to show off her skills against Pyrrha, one of the best fighters in the world. She wanted to impress her father and her friends with her strength and determination. Penny relied on her weapons: a set of floating swords that she could control with her movements and that could fire laser beams.

Pyrrha was nervous about facing Penny, a mysterious girl who was part of Jaune's team. She had heard rumors about her incredible powers and her unknown origin.

The battle was about to begin. The two contestants stared into each other's eyes. The audience held its breath. The referee gave the signal.

—"Let the fight begin!"

After greeting her opponent, Penny began the fight by summoning her swords and throwing them towards Pyrrha Nikos, who lunged towards her, stopping only for an instant thanks to a blade that blocked her path, before continuing her charge.

Pyrrha dodged and blocked the swords with her shield and spear, as she approached Penny. Penny stepped back and fired laser beams from her swords, forcing Pyrrha to take cover. Penny took advantage of the distraction to jump up and attack Pyrrha from above with a thrust.

Pyrrha reacted in time and deflected the blow with her shield, causing Penny to lose her balance. Pyrrha tried to take the opportunity to counterattack with her spear, but Penny recovered and blocked the attack with one of her swords.

The two combatants separated and stared at each other, evaluating their movements. Penny decided to change strategy and used her threads to control her swords from a distance, creating a whirlwind of metallic blades that surrounded Pyrrha. Pyrrha remained alert and used her semblance to manipulate the metal of the swords, deflecting them from her path or drawing them toward her.

Penny was surprised to see that Pyrrha could interfere with her weapons and tried to regain control. However, Pyrrha was faster and managed to snatch one of her swords, throwing it hard at Penny. Penny was barely able to dodge it, but she received a cut on her arm.

Pyrrha smiled confidently and charged at Penny with two swords in her hands. Penny became nervous and tried to defend herself against her with the remaining swords, but Pyrrha was the better of her and dealt her several blows that made her retreat. Penny sensed that she was losing the advantage and decided to use her last resort: she activated her aura to its maximum and released a powerful energy wave that pushed Pyrrha back.

Pyrrha was stunned by Penny's push and dropped the swords. Penny retrieved the weapons from her and got into an attack position.

The two combatants engaged in a fight of blows and blocks, seeking an advantage over the other. Penny used her flying swords to attack from different directions, while Pyrrha used her Semblance to alter the metal of Penny's weapons and throw her off balance.

The public followed the fight with amazement and nervousness, without being able to predict the result. Cinder Fall, who was watching the fight from the shadows, smiled evilly and activated the virus she had infiltrated into Beacon's network. The virus affected Penny's control over her swords and caused them to spin around her at high speed.

But that wasn't all Cinder had planned. It wasn't enough to control Penny, she had to do something else. And in the audience was Emerald Sustrai, who was staring at the battle between Penny and Pyrrha. But she wasn't looking at the battle itself, instead she was looking at Pyrrha Nikos. She used her Semblance, a very special ability that created illusions. And suddenly, Pyrrha saw something incredible: the swords surrounding Penny multiplied. It seemed like she had like a hundred swords pointed at him, even with her Semblance it would be difficult for her to deflect the trajectory of so many weapons. This was bad.

Naruto noticed something in Pyrrha's behavior. He didn't know what she was, but Pyrrha's gaze went from fierce to showing some doubt. It was something strange, something was happening here and he didn't know what it was.

Penny was shocked and tried to stop her swords, but it was useless. Pyrrha was also surprised and prepared to defend herself against her. The swords rushed towards Pyrrha like a swirl of metal. Pyrrha used her Semblance to repel the swords with a powerful magnetic wave.

However, what he didn't know was that the swords were connected by cables to Penny's body. Repelling the swords, Pyrrha also repelled Penny forcefully. The cables strained and snapped, cutting Penny's body into pieces.

Pyrrha was horrified to see what she had done. She hadn't realized that Penny was an android. Penny fell to the ground, broken and motionless. Her last gesture was a sad smile towards Pyrrha.

Nobody on stage said a word, not even the teachers. The commentator was mute, unable to say anything. What they saw was incredible and terrifying. Penny Polendina was no ordinary human, but more than just a student of Atlas. There she lay on the stage, in pieces, the remains of Penny. And the strangest thing was that there was no blood on her severed limbs, only electricity and sparks. Electrical circuits could be seen.

This was amazing for Naruto, he was shocked to see that, not because they had just killed someone, no. He was used to those things, but because apparently the technology of this world was so advanced that he could create an artificial human.

The Uzumaki looks askance at Jaune, the boy's gaze was lost, empty, he was stunned. There on the stage were the remains of her partner and from her expression and her posture he was also surprised that Penny was not actually a human, but that did not take away from the fact that he appreciated the girl very much. .

—"Jaune," Naruto said with a soft voice. — "Jaune," she tried to call him again, but the boy didn't respond, he simply stood there watching and soon a voice was heard over all the stadium's speakers.

—"《This... is not a tragedy. This... was NOT an accident. This is what happens when you give up your trust."

Cinder was on the roof of one of the Beacon Academy structures, she had her scroll and she was speaking through it. It had finally begun, his doubts were still present, but it hardened his heart so much that not a single feeling would pass through him. He had to do it, the power would be his and he would never feel weak again.

Far away from Vale, near Mountain Glenn, the Grimm arrived in an endless swarm. The fear that the kingdom emanated attracted them. It was the hour of destruction and its inevitable fall.

—"《Their safety... Their children... At the hands of men who call themselves their "guardians".》".

—"Cinder?" Jaune spoke those words as if they were foreign to him. The voice that echoed throughout the stadium was Cinder's without a doubt. Jaune really wanted to disbelieve what he was hearing. Reality hit him. She caused all of this.

—"《But the truth is that they are just ordinary men. The leaders of the academies have more power than many armies. And one of them dared to control both. They cling to this power in the name of peace》."

A man who was in a cell held a mascara in his hands. He looked with nostalgia at that strange object that had been given to him a long time ago. He was very fond of it even though it was a simple makeup item. — "The time is coming," he said to himself, — "although I don't know what's going on out there... the atmosphere feels very dark."

—"《And yet... What do we have here? A nation's attempt to create a synthetic army. Mercilessly destroyed by another prodigy student. What need would Atlas have for a soldier disguised as an innocent girl? I don't think so that the Grimm can tell the difference. And I wonder... what is Ozpin teaching his students?》".

Everyone on the stage was listening to Cinder's every word, not even bothering to run away. They were engrossed in her speech, even those in the kingdom of Vale and outside the kingdoms saw and heard Cinder's every word. This was incredibly ominous, something was coming and they didn't know what was going to happen.

—"《First a dismemberment, and now this? Hunters and huntresses who base their lives on honor and piety. Well... I don't see either. Maybe Ozpin thought that beating Atlas in the tournament... would help people forget the colossal failure he made in protecting Vale, when he invaded its streets. Or perhaps this was his message to the tyrannical dictator who has invaded an unsuspecting kingdom with his armed forces.》".

—" They are getting closer."

"What are you talking about Kurama ?" Naruto asked his tenant, he didn't understand what he meant by those words.

—" They are approaching, Grimm, thousands of them, they are coming towards Vale. An invasion is coming."

"An invasion? But how is that possible Kurama, as I understand it in my battle against Sasuke in Mountain Glenn I killed almost all of them, where did so many Grimm come from?"

"I don't know, but somehow they are arriving at the outskirts of Vale... they come in an incessant pace, thousands of them attracted by the negativity of this place."

—"《Honestly... I don't have the slightest idea who is right and who is wrong. But I know that the existence of peace is fragile. And that the leaders of the kingdoms manage their affairs with a heavy hand. As someone who comes from Mistral I can assure you. The situation there is... just as unpleasant. Our kingdoms are on the verge of war. But they don't tell us anything. So I ask you. "Who do you think you can trust?"

—"Wow, it seems it was an invasion after all. I should be impressed but the truth is that I somehow expected it."

Sasuke was sitting on top of a tree in the Emerald Forest, watching as a multitude of flying Grimm arrived towards the kingdom. He saw that crowd with such indifference, he was not afraid of the Grimm, they were simple insects to him, none of those beasts would have enough power to confront him, but that was a different topic for ordinary people. He took the white mask from him and placed it on his face and then he jumped from the top of that tree, touched the ground, walked calmly and whistled a tune.

—"This kingdom is going to fall. I'm going to make sure of that. The truth is that I wouldn't want it to be this way, but to create new things you often have to destroy the old."


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.
