Warning: I do not own RWBY, that belongs to Oum & Rooster Teeth. Nor Naruto that is shonen and his creator.

"Stupid Iruka-sensei I had Kiba in the ropes. I just needed some more time to kick his ass" Naruto muttered to himself. Holding an ice pack on his cheek, school had just ended for the day and he was heading back home. He and Kiba were picked for today's sparring partners. Sadly for him Kiba still proved too much for the blonde to handle, not that he would ever admit it. Iruka himself stopped the match before it got bad.

This left the blonde in a bad mood. It didn't help that everyone else made of fun him after sparring either. Still, school was over and he felt like some Ramen would help his mood.

Opening the door to his apartment he flopped onto his bed.

"Ugh, Come on me. All we need is get stronger and some more training, maybe even get Iruka to teach me a super kickass jutsu. If I can beat Kiba then I will be one more step closer to kicking Sasuke's butt and then rookie of year" he said.

...

No one answered back

"And hopefully pass the genin exam" he thought to himself. Even if he couldn't beat sasuke, yet, becoming genin was his main goal. And the only thing stopping him was the genin exam, or at least the clone portion. The physical part he knew he would ace and he always cheated on the exam part, not like they cared.

But the clone portion, no matter what he did he just couldn't do it. Even doing the leaf exercise didn't help. But he still had two more years before the exams started, hopefully he can master the clone jutsu before then ... hopefully.

"You seem to be in a lot stress young man?"

"Well yeah I mean I just lost to Kib—What? Who said that?" His eyes shoot open as he looked around the room.

Only the sounds of the other tenets were here.

"Huh, must've been my imagination ... better lay off instant ramen at twelve" he said to himself.

"Eating at twelve is never a wise choice, especially instant food"

"Gah! W-Who said that, are you a ghost!?" the blonde cried out, he pulled a kunai "Whatever you are get out!"

...

"I would not say I'm a ghost, but it would not be wro—"

"Oh sweet kami, I'm HAUNTED!?" this was the worst day ever. Not only did he lose to dog breath but now he's being haunted by a ghost!?

"Please ghost, don't eat my soul or possess me. Take my virginity but don't take me body, I still need it!" Naruto begged.

"Well, I never been offer someone's virginity before or at least in the last few centuries. However, that is not what I'm after young man."

"W-Well I have garlic, I bet you ghost don't like that!"

"That's for vampires"

"Dammit, I forgot" he cupped his chin "... Wait, an exorcist! I'll get an exorcist and kick you out my body. Take that ghost, bet you didn't think of that!"

"Not the first time someone attempted that. Words of wisdom, most exorcist are more interested at seeing your money leave you, not me. If it makes you feel any better I have no desire for your body, nor any malicious plans."

"And how do I believe that?" the blonde questioned. The blonde did not trust the ghost, I mean it was a ghost how can you trust someone who is dead. There was nothing stopping them from lying to you!

"Well you can, it is your choice. But I have nothing to gain from hiding anything from you. Really, the only thing I wish for now is one thing young man."

"What would that be?"

"Your name"

"Oh" well that wasn't what he was expecting "Um, the names Naruto Uzumaki."

"And I am Headmaster Ozpin of Beacon academy. It's a pleasure to meet you Naruto"

"So this where you go to school? Not what I expected from a ninja academy, I figured that it would be intimidating" Ozpin said as he watched various kids enter the school.

Naruto promptly ignored the spirit. It had been less then a day with this Ozpin fellow and he still had no idea what to do. He was still tensed whenever he appeared and was half tempted to ask his surrogate grandfather for help. Then again, what could he do? He did not know if the old man ever dealt with ghost, especially this one.

For now he would just ignore the spirit until after school. Then it was the library for him. Entering into his class he sat in the furthest row at the corner. As the rest of the students entered Ozpin decided to chime in again.

"Hm, that girl in the large coat, is she ok? Her eyes seem off, and what about that pink haired girl. Is that all natural?"

...

"You know I can keep pestering you until you answer."

...

"Ugh, the wired eye girl is Hinata and the pink haired is Sakura. They're my classmates and no nothing is wrong with Hinata. That's just her bloodline" Naruto whispered.

"Bloodline? I'm afraid I haven't heard of that before?" Ozpin was confused by the boy answers. Was that some sort of semblance based on genetics, like the Schnee family?

"Well bloodline are like cool super powers some people have. I know Hinata's family bloodline involves their eyes but I don't know outside of that. But bloodlines are super rare too ... man it would be cool to have one."

"Hm, I see. They do seem quite interesting young Uzumaki, I can see why some would like to have such powers. However their must be drawbacks to such power, nothing is without consequences." The man was surprised to here about bloodlines.

But the eye part was what caught his attention, where they like the silver eyes? Perhaps some sort of genetic offset? Still the immortal wizard decided not to press for more at the moment, with class starting it would be odd to see a child talk himself at his age.

Plus it gave him time to wonder why many adults either glared at the boy or ignored his presence at all. Ozma knew something was wrong the minute he saw it, he worried for the mentally health of the boy.

More than a few of his previous incarnations suffered with traumatic events that affected their mental health. Such scars needed a delicate hand to be dealt with, luckily for him the scars seemed not to deep yet. Which meant they can be repaired. Reaching out with his mental connection with the boy his world view shifted.

xxx Mindscape xxx

Gone was the academy and it students. In its place a dark and damp sewer, this was the boy's mindscape.

"Well, this requires my careful attention" he reached down to touch the water "Hm ... memories and murky ones at to. The boy's mind must be repressing them, there are signs of anger but mainly loneliness."

Seems the boy only wanted companionship and nothing more, someone that just acknowledge his existent. Good that his desires only went this far, however, if left untreated such desires can become darker. Anger, Hate, Vengeance, the whole package.

But that would not come, not under his watch.

Carefully extended his own mind and anchoring it to the boy's the murky water changed. Slowly the water began to harden up as patterns began to form. Seconds later this section resembled more of castle walls then it did a sewer. There were still cracks along the walls but compared to before it was a major improvement.

"This should do for now, little by little the boy's mind should be healed" the immortal said. Getting up he closed his eyes as everything shifted back to the classroom.

Opening them it seemed classes were still in session in the boy seemed to be struggling.

"Well, it seems you have been busy, have you taken any notes yet?" he asked.

"Oh great, your back" the blonde grumbled "I thought you finally left"

"Rude. But sadly that is not something I can do Naruto, my curse does not give that level of leeway"

"Wait, curse? What are you talking about?"

"Do you actually think I came like this for no reason? As I said I carry a heavy burden Young Uzumaki and that is-"

"Naruto, may you answer the question instead of dozing off?" Iruka called out.

"Ugh huh. What did you say Iruka-sensei?"

"Well since you seem to have free time talking I figured you can answer the question on the board. Well Naruto, what is it?" His sensei pointed to the board.

...

Yeah he had no idea what the answer was. But not like he can run away, not with everyone watching him.

"Um ... err ... it's uh ..."

"24 meters south"

"24 meters south"

"That is ... actually correct Naruto. Good job, you may sit back down. Now continuing where Naruto left off we—" Iruka continued on as blonde sat back.

"Whew, um thanks there Ozpin"

"No problem Naruto, but I must insist that you focus on you lessons"

Naruto nodded.

The rest of the class quickly ended as students began exiting their classrooms. It was lunch time after all. Sitting on the roof the boy started eating his lunch.

"Naruto, may I ask you a question?"

"Hm? Whve if istht?" the blonde said with a mouthful of ramen.

He ignored the boys manners "Your teacher was speaking something about chakra, what is this 'chakra' he keeps mentioning?"

"Chakra, what do you mean you don't know what Chakra is!?" everyone knew of chakra. From the lowest civilians to the Hokage everyone knew of chakra, it was like in everything they do.

"Come on Ozpin, you're pulling my leg here. Everyone knows of chakra, it's like the reason why we're ninja, duh."

...

...

"Well shit your actually serious. Well um ... chakra is the energy inside of us. Something about mixing spiritual and physical energies together. You can use chakra for a lot of things, like awesome things like making fireballs, or making illusions!" the blonde explained.

If Ozpin had eyes they would be wide open. Magic was the first thought that came to mind, but that could not be it. The gods made sure only he and Salem could use magic, unless something happen. But that did not feel likely.

"Naruto, could you show me this chakra you speak of? I would like to know more about it."

"Well, you did help me from getting embarrassed in class. I guess I can" Closing his eyes he concentrated on his chakra. Seconds chakra rushed through his system.

Ozpin watch the as the boy summoned this chakra. He then pushed his own magic, hoping to see some sort of connection.

There was none. Magic and Chakra were two different things.

"~sigh~ I guess it was to much to ask"

"To much for what Ozpin?"

"Oh nothing Naruto. Besides, what is after your lunch break, do you study more or do you have some other lesson?"

"Well after lunch it will be chakra training, then exercises, and we always end it with a sparring session" Naruto answered "Hopefully this time I get paired up with Sasuke."

"Sasuke?"

"Yeah, he's the guy with duck butt haircut. That guy is a total ass, guy thinks he's so cool with his dark broody looks. All the girls swoon over him like he's the greatest thing in like forever. He doesn't even care about them" Naruto grumbled.

"I sense jealousy in your words"

"I'm not jealous, the guy is just a bastard. Acting like he's high and mighty."

"I see, and why are you so angry with this sasuke. Did he wronged you in any way?"

"Besides kicking my ass all the time. I just wish I knock a peg or two off him, maybe others would learn he's not so great"

And that he was better. Ozpin nodded with the boy as he vented out his frustration. It was clear the boy wanted acknowledgement from his peers and to him this Sasuke was the perfect target. After all what better way to show you're the best if you take out the top dog.

"And what is your current score?"

Naruto did not respond.

Ah, zero to more then zero. "So how often do you get paired up with Sasuke anyway?"

"Not since the beginning of last year. I either get paired with Shikamaru or Kiba, but I promise you before I graduate I'll kick Sasuke's ass; And that's a promise from the future hokage!"

"Hokage?"

"Yeah Hokage, he's the leader of the village and everyone respects him. Being a hokage means you get to learn super secret jutsus, every ninja has to follow your orders, and everyone knows your the best. One day that hat will be mine and everyone who ever doubted me will regret it."

"I see ... well I believe you can become a splendid Hokage Naruto"

...

"Wait, you actually ... believe I can do it?" No one has ever said that to the blonde. The only exceptions were the old man and the Ichiraku family.

"Of course, even the weakest person can become a powerful warrior. I've seen young peasant boys rise up and become powerful kings, they had nothing but the clothes on their back but craved their own future. To anyone who thinks otherwise well I shake my head. Anyone can become what they dream, so long as they have the strength & willpower to see it through."

"You actually think so Ozpin" Naruto asked. But this time it did not carry the same level of confidence as before.

"Absolutely"

Before Naruto could reply Iruka yells meant it was time to come back for class.

The rest of the day went without much a hitch. Outside of mulling over what Ozpin said it was a rather easy day. Until now, now it was sparring time. Something he both excited and worried about; Excited that he could get one more closer at beating sasuke, but also worried about losing again.

That and the words Ozpin gave were still gnawing in his head.

Iruka started to call today's pairs. Most of which went over the boy save for learning Sasuke would be paired with choji again, and that he would be pair up with Kiba.

"Darn the dead last again? Ugh, come on boy this is going to take a while" Kiba complained to his dog. It would be a while before his battle was called. "So your ready to get your ass handed to you again dead last?"

...

"Hey, I'm taking you baka" he called out. That got the blonde's attention.

"Huh—What do you want dog breath?" said Naruto.

"Just wanted to ask how you wanted me to beat your ass this time. You want the extra quick or slow and embarrassing?"

"Beat down! Don't get cocky Kiba, this time it's you who's running to mommy!"

"Psst, whatever baka. Says the kid you can't even do a simple clone" the Inuzuka snorted.

"I would advise against hitting the boy naruto. It would do you no good" Ozpin warned. The blonde had already balled up his fist and judging by his thoughts it wasn't going to be pretty.

"B-But—"

"There are times when you need to reel in your anger Naruto. Getting angry here will do you no good and being a Hokage means you must know when to reel your temper in" that seemed to do the thing. Naruto unballed his hand and moved away from the snickering boy.

"Kids, they can be the cruelest things sometimes" the immortal shook his head at Kiba. Such an attitude could cause problems down the road, hopefully it never comes to it but arrogance was the downfall of the strong.

"That was the right thing to do Naruto, I know your still angry but attacking Kiba would help nobody. It would only make others see you as a brute and less of a hokage."

"Come on Ozpin, one punch isn't going to hurt" the blonde argued.

"Considering that the boy is currently stronger than you? I am afraid fighting him right now will only prove to antagonize your classmates" Ozpin.

The blonde did not answer but Ozpin felt the anger shimmering from the boy's mind. Seeing this he pondered on what to do next, it was clear to him that Naruto was not ready to face the boy.

Well without aid that is.

He was hoping not needing to act this early, but perhaps this would help the boy trust him. He needed to get back to Beacon quick and find out where Salem sent him. Ozpin waited before his host and Kiba were finally called.

"Alright boy, you'll say out of this one Naruto will be a breeze" he placed his god outside the ring as he turned back to the blonde. "Hope your ready for your daily ass beat"

Naruto went into his stance.

The second Iruka started the mach Naruto ran to Kiba throwing a punch at him. The boy easily sidestepped and kicked Naruto at the side, nearly unbalancing him. As The blonde recovered Kiba went moved away, throwing a few shuriken and forcing Naruto to move to the side.

Naruto pulled out two kunai and threw one of them at Kiba while charging at him again. He tried to swipe at the Inuzuka but the boy was able to move out of the way for each of them before hitting his wrist, dropping the kunai. A headbutt afterward left Naruto disoriented before two more punches to the chest and one knee to the gut. Naruto was forced on his knees as Kiba sneered at him, a single chakra enhanced punch pushed him to the ground.

"Hey sensei, you should call the match. Looks like the dead last is done" said Kiba.

"Argh, Don't ... don't go saying anything" the blonde growled "I'm not done, yet."

The inuzuka looked to Iruka, seeing no response he shrugged his shoulders "Oh well, don't go complaining back headaches."

Walking over the down boy he raised his fist and readied to knock the blonde out. The blonde watched at the fist came down, closing his eyes he knew he lost today and another day of embarrassment for him.

...

"~sigh~ Looks I'll need to intervene after all" suddenly his body felt very cold. His vision blurred as he felt his body became less and less responsive.

He saw his fist catch Kiba's own, he then saw himself pull Kiba into as he wrapped his legs around the boys waist. And in a single move slammed the boy's face into the ground while he got off the ground. It was pretty awesome to see. His body turned around and kicked the down boy in the head before hitting his nose, hard. Or at least that's what he thought it was, judging from Kiba's cries. Taking another kunai out he pressed down it down the boys throat.

And like that he felt his control return back. Turning to Iruka he saw him, Mizuki sensei, and the rest of his classmates looked at him with shock. Hell even the teme's own eyes widen by a bit.

...

"Well I certainly wasn't expecting that from you Naruto. But congratulations nonetheless, if no one else has anything to add we can end class here for today. Now Mizuki why don't you take Kiba to the infirmary" said Iruka.

"The hell was that?" he whispered to himself. Naruto sat in his room wondering what just happened at that fight. One moment he thought it was light's out and then the next he was kicking Kiba's ass like nobody's business. Normally he should be feeling great teaching Kiba a thing or two. But right now he was more scared then happy, plus the wired looks his classmates were giving him didn't help to.

"Ozpin, was ... was that you back there?" he asked the spirit in his head. Who else could have done this?

"Indeed, I had merely aided you in your fight"

"Aided? You possessed my body or something, how was that helping!?" the blonde demanded. That this Ozpin guy could actually control his body terrified the blonde and only made him want to run to the third Hokage.

"I would not say possession per to say Naruto. What I did was merely merged mine your soul together, if momentary. Besides I figured you did not want to be embarrassed again in the ring."

"What do you mean it wasn't 'possession', of course it was you big liar! I felt my body losing control!"

...

"Wait you said merging!? Oh god am I going to lose my soul thanks to you, oh god my soul is going to get eaten by a ghost. Dammit, why god WHY!?" he panicked.

...

...

...

"Well, if you are done panicking perhaps you would let me explain myself. Something that I've been hoping to do for a day now"

"What do you mean? Didn't you introduce yourself already?"

"Partially, if I am able to explain myself fully I can explain the events that just transpired as well as any more questions you may have. That I promise you"

What Naruto really wanted was answers and badly too. He didn't like any of this stuff Ozpin was keeping from him and wanted a straightforward answer. After some time he nodded.

"Well then, My name is Ozpin. I'm the headmaster of Beacon academy and champion of the gods. I am a ancient warrior chosen by the gods to save humanity and bring it to it's salvation. The gods themselves have gifted me with a unique form of immortality, for every death my soul travels to a new incarnation merging with the host soul. And you Naruto Uzumaki have been chosen by the gods themselves to be my next incarnation."

"Say what again?"
