AN1: Guys the PM email notifications are NOT working right now. I heard FF took that function down. So, I am replying to everyone ok! You have to check your PM inbox like I do to see response any PMs! (go to your name in top right corner, left bar- Private Messaging-inbox and tada all the messages go through but you won't get emails saying it did! This goes for all my stories! Check your box for PMs and actually read them!
Sorry for the wait guys! I am busy and writing block IS a real thing after all!
Also please reply to PM's I send you ok? It gets frustrating when I reply to everyone and I get no response people even care. Also, just because I don't answer right away does not mean I wont answer. Please check your PM inbox's!
Warning Naruto will be OP: (in the forest) Like I said before I am not taking any suggestions on his semblance and it will prob piss all my fans off but I don't care.
Just because he does something seemingly odd does not mean that is his semblance.
I did this in one break day so please give me a break and NOT ask for longer chapters. I am trying to write something for all my different fans.
Also, I will NOT be describing every Grimm by name or even a true description. The Show just has them appear and rarely do the characters even comment on what they are before fighting. (I will cross reference the wiki for information but it be much more vague especially if they die in an instant-hint hint)
Also to pick up the pace of the story I will mainly focus on what Naruto will be doing during the test (I don't want to spend more then one or two chapters in the forest to be honest after this one)
Chapter 8 Into the Forest we Go
Naruto and Ruby went to the locker room to pick up their original outfits and went to change out of their pajamas. Yang had already changed into her combat outfit and ignored the boys drooling after her and a few girls as well. When Naruto changed, he had a few girls look at him and blush making him mentally sigh as he knew objectively, he was rather attractive even when younger than the rest of the students hear. Ruby pouted as her petite frame hidden in her clothing made people assume, she has a 'cute' figure so people were more drawn to her good-looking twin.
'Seems like I can't get rid of fan girls no matter where I go….' Naruto mused remembering in his past self after the 4th Ninja War he had countless female fans especially before he got into a relationship with Hinata. He had complained men drooled over her even when they were together only to get a snappy response that he was the worlds most sought-after bachelor and still had countless girls after him as a married man. Naruto quickly shut up when his wife scolded him.
Naruto watched Ruby loving stroke her 'Crescent Rose' calling it 'sweetheart' while its in handheld form. It was scythe sniper hybrid that Ruby proudly built herself (although Naruto may have helped tweak it abit so it didn't rust or explode in Ruby's face without her knowledge).
"Ruby if you only focus on your weapon you won't be able to make friends." Yang chided softly as she grabbed several magazines of ammo for her gauntlets.
Ruby pouted and looked down "I don't need friends. I have you and bro. That's enough for me." Ruby said with determination as Naruto shared a look with Yang. They knew Ruby was rather socially awkward and she didn't say it but she depended on her siblings especially Naruto abit too much.
"What about when we have to be on teams though? You are going to be able to work with other people." Yang remarked as Ruby snapped towards her with wide accusing eyes.
"What?! You mean the three of us won't be on a team together?" Ruby shouted with surprise as Yang bit her lip and looked awkwardly down avoiding Ruby's eyes.
Naruto watched Yang kick her feet softly as clear signs of guilt were shown on her face.
"Well yeah it would be great if all three of s could be a team together but nice told us how Beacon uses the 4-person team structure so we could be on different teams." Yang said realistically but Ruby eyes started to water at the 'betrayal' of her beloved older sister.
Naruto put his hand on Ruby's shoulder as Ruby blinked her tears away staring into Naruto's blue euyes with her silver ones. Naruto admitted to himself he found Ruby silver eyes rather pretty and was abit jealous he did not have silver eyes from their mother to show for it. AN2:
"Listen Ruby I am sure the people who decide teams will see how well we work together we will be on the same team." Naruto said comfortingly as Ruby nodded and leaned in enjoying her twin warmth and comfort.
Yang had a small smile as Naruto always could keep Yang's rage under control and Ruby fears from consuming her.
'He is perfect.' Yang thought fondly as the twins hugged for another minute before the Rose family
Meanwhile other students were trying to prepare in their own way to deal with whatever test was going to happen today.
Weiss was trying to suck up to Pyrrha who was well known to be a champion despite not being a student yet. Pyrrha was rather distracted thinking of a blonde boy with blue eyes she had met the night before.
"So Pyrrha any ideas who you would want to be on your team? I mean anyone would be lucky to be on your team." Weiss asked subtly trying to imply they should eb partners.
"Hmm… I guess if I had to choose someone it would be someone I could get along with and who could watch my back in a pinch." Pyrrha admitted.
'Someone like Naruto Rose. He treats me like a normal person! Plus, he must be rather skilled to get here 2 years earlier than other people. Or his twin. Ruby seems nice too.' Pyrrha thought as she picked up her spear and shield from her locker.
However, Weiss somewhat self-centered thought she was talking about herself. 'Perfect! We would make a perfect team! Pyrrha would be perfect to be on my team! She is beautiful, strong and well known! With my name and hers we will surely be the strongest team from Beacon!' Weiss thought happily.
Jaune seeing two very pretty girls in his eyes particular Weiss tried to flirt and hint they could be a team together.
"Hey girls my name is Jaune. Hey if you two are on a team maybe I can join so we would only need one more member?" Jaune suggested while Pyrrha gave him a polite smile, Weiss gave him a look of annoyance.
"Well Jaune anything can happen." Pyrrha said cheerfully making Jaune confidence rise.
Weiss groaned putting her hands on her hips. "Well Jaune that is Pyrrha Nikos a world champion and I am Weiss Schnee of the Schnee company. I would expect they would want teams based on overall performance and not stick anybody together." Weiss remarked with sass as Jaune head dropped.
"Students! Please all assembly on the Beacon Hill for further instructions. Please be fully prepared as this will be the testing area." Goodwitch voice said sternly as slowly all the students left the lockers.
Naruto and his siblings lined up with the rest of the potential Beacon students waited on the cliff standing on strange pads one for each student. Naruto did a quick count and including himself there appeared to be about 13 people. AN3:
Goodwitch and Ozpin stood there silently assessing the students with critical eyes. Naruto saw out the corner of his eyes that Ruby looked ready to pass out from nerves. Yang however looked confident with a smile asking for a challenge.
"Good day students. This test will determine how many will enter Beacon as students and how will leave here with their dreams shattered." Ozpin said bluntly as a majority of the students gulped.
"Usually it is the policy of the school to have 4 person teams but with the number of students applying this year I believe it will be possible to have one 5-person team if myself and the teachers believe such a team will be needed." Ozpin told them as the kids started to whisper to each urgently.
"Quiet!" Glynda shouted as the group once again became silent as Ozpin gave a quick nod of thanks.
"To dispel the rumours. Yes, the teams will be formed today and there will be no modifying the teams unless there are extreme circumstances." Ozpin continued as Ruby started to sweat and bite her lips nervously.
"Normally the teams will be formed from pairs of 2. The first person you laid eyes on would be your teammate for the entire time of your stay at Beacon." Glynda told them as everyone eyes narrowed ever so slightly.
"However! Due to certain incidents in recent years with incompatible teams being formed and needing to replace members." Ozpin said with a cough. AN4:
'Can't let it be known there was two male members last years who picked two faunas females on the same team almost leading to assault charges. That was rather drastic we forced to intervene.' Ozpin thought with a sigh. His method usually produced results but even Glynda argued that forcing people who glanced at each other with no prior compatibility to become teammates was rather unsettling.
"We have decided for this year to record all your performances in the forest and build teams based on your compatibility. This however does not mean you will be matched with people you like. It will be in your best interests to work with multiple people so you can adapt in case you are not matched with your friends." Ozpin warned as Ruby eyes sparkled as she turned to Naruto with hopeful eyes. AN5:
Naruto smirked seeing the underlying reasons.
'Interesting old man. Instead of us trying desperately to pair up with people we know you are asking us to focus on working together with everyone. This will make teams more balanced rather than random. You are also likely trying to pick put the leaders from this test as you will still need a leader for each team.' Naruto thought glancing up at Ozpin who glanced back for a moment.
Certain students had already had thoughts in mind.
An orange haired woman called Nora thought 'Yes! I just need to make sure our sloth symbol works and me and Ren will be paired up! I mean not 'together together' but on a team!' Nora was almost bouncing on her feet.
Ren was thinking '….. I guess I the only one who can handle Nora….' Ren had a slight smile when he could see Nora excitement though.
'Yes! I just need to make the teachers see Pyrrha and I are the perfect team!' Weiss thought happily before her eyes dimmed. 'Although I hope I am not paired with those rude Rose twins though. I do not want to be responsible for holding their hands just because they are younger.' Weiss thought sourly. AN6:
'Please have some cute girls! Please have some cute girls!' Jaune prayed in his mind but he shuddered when he saw a 'demonic' Naruto glaring at him. 'On second thought please not on Naruto's team especially with his sisters!' Jaune prayed even harder knowing if he even accidently looked at Naruto's sisters the wrong way, he would have a broken hand at least.
Blake thoughts were rather simple 'Not the Schnee heiress… Ruby and Naruto seem respectful at least'.
'It would be rather nice to make new friends so I guess anyone would do. Naruto seems really nice though and Ruby seems rather quirky too.' Pyrrha thought.
'Wooh hoo! Let us have this sibling snuggle fest continue! I mean team hehe!' Yang cheered in her head. 'Who else though? Dunno as long as they don't mess with my siblings, I guess I don't really care.' Yang added eying her siblings with a smirk.
'PLEASE Naruto and Yang! I don't know what I would do if they weren't on my team! What if Naruto and I don't share a bed together! Or even share the same room?' Ruby thought urgently as she and Naruto had much harder time falling asleep the rare times they were forced to sleep apart.
'Hmm. Honestly there isn't anyone who I could not work with eventually. Although jerks who discriminate I will show them their place. I guess for Ruby sake it would be best if we ended up on a team together so my sis doesn't mentally collapse.' Naruto hummed to himself as he subtly glanced at all the other students.
"Now the object is rather simple. Either the students destroy all the Grimm in the forest or you must survive together till tomorrow with whatever provisions you can find. We shall be watching all your movements with cameras setup all around the forest and marking you based on leadership skills and overall combat prowess." Ozpin told them as they gulped at the idea of destroying an entire forest of Grimm.
"We will tell you there has never been any group of students who managed to clear out all the Grimm in the forest before so before any of you want to be heroes, I would recommend you prioritize survival over glory." Glynda warned them sternly tapping her clipboard for effect. Glynda was satisfied to see every person with varying degrees of nervousness.
However, to her and Ozpin surprise they could see a small smirk on Naruto's face with an eyebrow raised as if saying 'Challenge accepted.'
'Naruto Rose. What are you hiding?' Ozpin thought with narrowed eyes as he knew the extraordinary test results Naruto had were not the full story on the young Blonde.
'He must be bluffing. It would take an entire team of well-trained huntsmen to clear out the forest. There would be no way a group of 25 newly fresh recruits could do. Let alone with one young boy who should not have the strength to take the test besides perhaps raw talent.' Glynda thought dismissingly thinking Naruto was bluffing at best. AN7:
"We will not intervene during the test but be warned if it appears that students are trying to 'thin out the competition' deliberately we shall send a professor into the forest to apprehend you and cart you off to the Vale police department. I repeat your test s against Grimm and showing off your skills not each fight each other." Ozpin warned with a threatening low tone as certain students decided it was not worth getting expelled over petty grudges yet.
To people's surprise Naruto raised a hand up with an innocent expression.
"Yes Mr. Rose? Is there a problem?" Goodwitch asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No problem. Just wondering. Is there any real reason for the forest besides holding the Grim here?" Naruto asked with a questioning look. Yang and Ruby shared dumbfounded expressions along with everyone else.
"Mr. Rose. I am not quite sure what you are asking but we can tell you this forest does not produce any resource for Vale besides being part of Beacon's landscape." Ozpin replied with an odd look at Naruto.
"So, in theory if the forest was destroyed along with the Grimm here you would not hold the person responsible for property damage as one as no people were hurt?" Naruto asked with a Cheshire cat like expression.
Ozpin eyes widened before he coughed "I suppose any damage to the forest itself would be considered collateral damage in a fight with the Grimm." Ozpin agreed as Naruto nodded to himself was a sastifiedx expression.
As most of the students looked and laughed lightly at the absurd idea that someone could destroy a forest Naruto had a satisfied expression.
'That means once everyone is in the center or at least close to me I can cut loose!' Naruto thought happily already deciding he would give the teachers and students abit of a show.
'Does Naruto intend to kill all the Grimm?' Yang thought to herself with some fear in her heart. She knew her brother was absurdly strong with his marks to prove it but she honestly never knew how strong with the island of Patch having relatively small populations of Grimm.
"Now prepare yourself and your landing strategies as the test will begin when you land." Ozpin told them as he sipped what appeared to be coffee in his mug.
Yang sent a wink to Naruto and Ruby as she put on her sunglasses. Ruby put a hand on Crescent Rose as she prepared herself. Naruto just stretched not all concerned.
Jaune however was abit concerned "Sir… What is a landing strategy?" Jaune asked in fear as several people were sent flying into the air.
Ozpin gave him an amused look as he decided to humour the boy "It is rather simple Mr. Arc. A strategy you devise on how to land in the forest without dying without a parachute.".
"What do you mean devis~~~~~ AAAHHH!" Jaune said in mid sentence before he was launching screaming all the way.
As the recruits were sent into the air gravity quickly caught up with the airborne so everyone had their own strategy to get to the ground safely.
Ruby turned Crescent Rose into Sniper form to shoot several snipers rounds into the air. The recoil from her shots slowed her fall enough so she snagged onto a tree with the bladed end of Scythe and spun around from tree to tree.
Weiss had her Rapier out and with one handed swing summoned several glyphs to cushion her fall. She stepped on the glyphs one by one until she safely landed on her feet.
Yang had her gauntlets equipped and shot several shotgun like rounds into the trees allowing to control the direction of her fall. She skidded across the ground after shooting several more rounds into the ground in front of her to reduce her speed.
She cheered before slowing down into a casual walk. "Nailed it!" Yang said confidently on her landing.
Pyrrha used her shield to crash through several branches as she sailed through high trees until cushioning herself to a tree. She quickly put her shield back when she heard a boy with a girly scream.
She narrowed one eye to focus glancing through the scope of her rifle/Spear seeing Jaune falling uncontrollable. She quickly calculated the wind direction and with a single throw threw her spear with great speed.
She waited a few seconds until she heard a thunk confirming to her that she caught Jaune by the hoodie into a tree.
"I am sorry!" Pyrrha apologized.
"Thank You!" A distant mumbling from Jaune could be heard.
"Better get my spear back and I guess saving his life is one way to start a friendship huh?" Pyrrha mused as she started to walk towards Jaune's location.
Ozpin and Glynda had retreated back to the Professor Ozpin's office with several scrolls placed in front of them with different views showing every inch of the forest with several views focusing on specific children.
"It appears that every child has landed sir. However, Naruto Rose is not on any of the cameras." Glynda informed Ozpin who looked startled.
"That's impossible! Every inch of that forest is recorded right now. Unless. Glynda! Have a camera focus on the sky above the forest!" Ozpin commanded.
Glynda looked surprised but using a scroll she sent several cameras into the air and sure enough Naruto was in the air… Standing in mid air like it as solid as the ground they were standing on.
Naruto turned his head briefly and Ozpin and Glynda almost swore he gave them an amused look.
Naruto then looked several times in different directions before he leapt and fell gracefully onto a tree top. He then leapt again and started to jump from tree to tree in a clear direction.
"Glynda make sure we follow Naruto Rose's with our cameras. I have a feeling he will make this year very interesting." Ozpin said with a mysterious smile as eh took a sip out of his coffee mug.
"Yes sir." Glynda said quietly.
AN2: This phrasing with Naruto's eyes is going to be important. Or put another way: Just because a Hyuga clan member unlocks a Byakugan does not mean it always, there right?
AN3: in the actual there appeared to be a few people but most of the unnamed characters were just shadows figures. I decided for simplicity sake to use all the canon people only. (I don't want to make it dark and have people killed off screen for this test).
AN4: this is completely me deviating from the canon test for my own purposes.
AN5: Just going to point out for story reasons the teams WILL be the same but at least there is a chance for the students to work together besides survival or being next to each other.
AN6: Again, not bashing Weiss but in canon she mocks Ruby for her age for abit so it only makes sense she doesn't want to 'babysit' Naruto or Ruby.
AN7: The test is different as they are not grading based on who gets what chess pieces. I am not quite sure what an average huntsmen can do but in my story there will hundreds if not thousands of Grimm so in my mind no single person could clear that forest. But Naruto? Who knows
