AN: Well, now that the heart attack FF had is over, I can finally upload this. Here I am again with another Naruto x RWBY crossover, ladies and gents! This one is a bit different than the other two I'm working on right now, but I hope it measures up. Another short-ish introduction chapter, but I had fun writing this one. Also, I just find it humorous to name any of the as of now unnamed Schnee family members after the Starks from Game of Thrones, a trend that stretches into my other two crossovers as well. As always, constructive criticism is appreciated, but no flames!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or RWBY. All rights go to Masashi Kishimoto and RoosterTeeth.

Chapter 1: The Return of the Savior

It was snowing. Rather heavily. So much so that he had to pull up the hood of the heavy white cloak he was wearing. It was snowing. And yet it was warm. The fires that he and his two guards periodically passed were a somewhat welcome reprieve from Mantle's harsh winters that were especially harsh for the Kingdom of Atlas. He didn't know why he had stopped the armored limo he was riding in, he didn't know what was compelling him to trudge through the ice and snow, through a ruined town that the Grimm no doubt razed and into one home in particular.

Ned Schnee was a very practical man that hated to be late for appointments, he was the CEO and President of the Schnee Dust Company, after all, and he had learned very early on that punctuality was a trait of a good businessman. He had a meeting to get to, so why was he being drawn to this ruined husk of a house? Surely there would be no survivors, right? Then why did he hear the cries of a baby?

Stepping into another room, Ned found the source of the cries in the form of a baby boy no older than a year, squirming and wailing, oblivious to the fact that he was right between the corpses of his parents, a blonde haired man and a redhead woman. Judging from the discarded weapons, the parents were most likely Hunters and they died protecting their only son.

"Mr. Schnee." Called out one of the guards. "We have confirmation of these people's names."

Eyeing the katana that was handed to him, Ned read aloud the name of the wielder.

"Minato Xiao Long." Xiao Long… that name sounded familiar. "Taiyang!" Ned came to the realization that the dead man was Taiyang Xiao Long's youngest brother. Like hell he'd forget Taiyang, the blonde idiot was like a brother to him back during his days as a Huntsman.

"I'm sorry, Tai…" Ned whispered as he closed his eyes and slightly bowed his head in a silent prayer. "If this is Minato, then… oh, Kushina…"

Kushina Nikos, twin sister of the famed Huntress Athena Nikos, who Ned was also familiar with. Truth be told, he had a crush on Kushina way back when, but he never did come out and tell her because by the time he worked up the courage, she and Minato started dating. Again, he lowered his head in prayer for their souls, then turned his attention to the blonde bundle that was their son.

"Naruto…" He recalled the name. Taiyang had called one day to announce that Kushina had given birth to a baby boy, but that memory was nearly drowned out because of the death of his father, Rickard nearly a week later. That was when he took over the SDC as CEO and President, that was the day he gave up being a Huntsman.

After bending down and scooping the baby boy into his arms, Ned turned to his two bodyguards. "Let's go. I'm finished here."

"What about the bodies, sir?" One guard asked.

"We'll get in touch with Vale's Beacon Academy once we get back to Castle White. Double time it, this boy needs immediate attention!"

(Castle White: Infirmary: An hour later)

"Daddy… Baby!" Squealed the small mop of white hair that was a two year old Winter Schnee who was squirming in Ned's arms.

"That's right, Winter." Ned chuckled. "A baby."

"Like Mommy?"

"Yes." Again he chuckled at Winter referring to his very heavily pregnant wife, Catelyn Schnee, who was due at any time now and pregnant with twin girls. "We'll be raising him here, Winter. From now on, he's your little brother."

"Name, Daddy? Baby name?"

"Naruto. Naruto Xiao Long."

Seeing his oldest daughter quiet down for the moment, Ned took the time to regard the little blonde that slept quietly upon one of the infirmary's beds. He hadn't even told Taiyang what happened to his brother and sister-in-law. From the latest calls they've had, Taiyang's wife, one Raven Branwen, was also expecting a child soon, a baby girl which they were going to name Yang. He didn't want to tell Taiyang, he didn't want to ruin the couple's happiness. If he were being completely honest, he didn't even want to send the child back to his family. That strange feeling always came back whenever he thought about sending the little dragon back to his Uncle.

Sighing, Ned began his trek back to his office after handing Winter off to one of the maids. Making it to the top floor of the castle, through his and his wife's bedroom and into his personal study, Ned sighed as he loosened his tie and unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt, then ran a hand through his pure white hair before pressing a few buttons on his personal terminal. A light electronic ringing then filled the air before someone on the other end of the line picked up, another mop of blonde.

"Ned!" Taiyang jovially greeted his best friend over the video feed. "I didn't expect to hear from you! How are things over in Atlas? How's the company?"

"Everything's fine on my end, Tai." Ned lightly chuckled at his friend's ever present impressionable smile.

"Good, good! Raven's doing fine; she's about a month away from being ready to pop. Once Yang's here, I might make a trip up there to introduce her to Minato and Kushina and to see how my nephew's doing. Wanna tag along, introduce Winter to our kids?"

"Tai…"

The grave tone that Ned said his name instantly put Taiyang on guard. "Ned, what's wrong?"

"There's no easy way for me to say this, Tai… your brother's dead, along with Kushina."

"… W-What?" Came the stunned response of Taiyang after a few moments of horrified silence.

"I was on my way to a meeting when I stumbled upon the town where Minato and Kushina were residing in. The place had been razed by the Grimm. After investigating, I came upon their house. Therein I found their corpses. Tai, I'm sorry…"

"And Naruto?! What about my nephew?! Ned, please tell me he's alive!"

"… He's alive and well." He paused for a relieved sigh to escape Taiyang. "I picked him up from the wreckage of the house and he's currently being cared for here at Castle White for the time being.

"Thank God…"

"What do you want to do, Tai? Come get him?"

"Just… give me a few days. I'll be up there as soon as I can. I want to talk about this personally."

"Of course, Tai. Just let me know what you arrive, I'll have an escort ready to bring you to Castle White."

"Alright…"

"Tai, I really am sorry. If it makes you feel better, we've contacted Ozpin over at Beacon. He and James are going to oversee a funeral procession for them, full military honors, considering Minato was an officer up here in our Atlesian Military as well as a Huntsman. They're going to leave the time and location for the funeral up to you."

"Just another thing to talk about once I get there… but… thanks, Ned. I mean it, thank you for saving my nephew."

"No need to thank me, Tai. Just… take some time and when you're ready, come up to Atlas and we can discuss everything."

"See you then, Ned."

Ned then ended the call and released a heavy sigh as he leaned back into his seat, brushing a hand through his white hair once again.

"NED!" Screamed a woman, Catelyn.

"Cat?!" Ned exclaimed as he rose from his chair and ran into the hallway, where he saw his wife clutching her belly.

"They're coming, Ned!" Cat screamed in pain.

"Someone get her down to the infirmary now!" Ned hollered out, getting a few passing maids to help her down the flights of stairs to the infirmary.

(Castle White: Four Days Later)

"I'm sosorry, Ned." Taiyang placed a comforting hand on his best friend's shoulder.

The pair were standing outside the waiting room of Castle White's infirmary, looking through the glass partition into the actual infirmary where Cat was nursing a baby girl with white hair.

"Weiss made it… but Aurora died." Ned clenched his fists. "Why, Tai? Why did this happen?!"

"Nothing that I'll say can make the hurt go away, Ned. Only time can do that. Treasure the fact that Weiss made it through perfectly fine, mourn Aurora, but don't let this grief control you."

"This week has just been a week from hell…" Ned bitterly muttered. "Dammit!" He then threw his right fist forward into the wall, which only served to wake a sleeping Weiss up.

The sounds of a very unhappy baby Schnee filled the Infirmary, where another baby's cries soon joined Weiss's. Naruto had joined in when he was in turn woken up by Weiss's screams.

On cue, one of the maids made to scoop Naruto up, to take him out of the room, but Cat stopped her.

"Give him to me." She softly said with a small smile.

"M-Miss Schnee?" The maid asked, bewildered.

"Give him to me. Please." Cat repeated herself, her smile never dropping.

Nodding her compliance, the maid gently handed a still crying Naruto to Cat, who adjusted to having to care for two babies at the same time. After readjusting herself, she began to hum a soft tune to the two babies as she gently rocked them back and forth.

Ned and Taiyang looked on in stunned silence as the two babies gradually began to cry less and less until they both were lulled back into sleep in the arms of Cat, who was now crying, but she nonetheless still hummed her tune.

"Ned…" Taiyang breathed out. "She just…"

"Cat, you…" Ned managed to say as a lone tear streaked down his face. "Tai… I know he's your nephew, but… can we keep him?"

"Ned?"

"Cat seems to have latched onto him as a substitute for Aurora. Caring for him seems therapeutic to her. Tai, please. I know it's a rather sizeable request, but… Cat seems to have taken him in, to have accepted him. For her sake, Tai… can we keep him?"

Taiyang then began glancing between Ned and Cat, as if weighing his options. "Just… take care of him, Ned." He finally said with a sigh. "Keep me updated on his progress, let Raven and I visit from time to time… I don't want him to lose track of his family."

"It goes without saying, Tai."

"Then you can have him. Raise him properly; make sure he's a good brother to both Weiss and Winter. He's all that I have left of my little brother, Ned. It goes without saying that I want him well taken care of."

"Of course."

"And also, when it comes time, send him to Beacon should he wish to become a Huntsman. I trust James, but you, Minato, Kushina, Raven, Summer and I all went to Beacon. I want him to go where our families past and current generations have gone. Can you do that for me?"

"I swear, Tai. I swear I'll send him to Beacon should he show interest in becoming a Huntsman."

"Then that's all I ask."

"He…" They both heard Cat begin to sob. "Ned!" She called out to him, prompting he and Taiyang to run into the room. "Naruto, he… he said 'mama'!"

"That… that's good, Cat! Now all we need to do is put a dictionary in front of him and he'll be debating politics in no time!" Taiyang joked.

"Thank you, Tai." Ned whispered to his friend. "This means more to her than you can possibly imagine."

"I know he's in good hands, Ned." Taiyang responded with a smile.

Naruto Xiao Long would, form this day onward, be known as Naruto Schnee, raised as the second oldest of the Schnee children. Little did Ned know that he had just adopted a legend reborn. And little did he know that he had made the fateful decision to raise said legend. Naruto Uzumaki was back, having been reincarnated through Asura's Chakra. Was Remnant ready for the return of this hero? Was Remnant ready for whatever prompted Naruto's reincarnation? Was Naruto himself ready to defend the world once again? Did he even want to save the world again?

'At least I'll have time to assimilate myself into this new body.' Naruto sighed from inside his mindscape. 'Though I'm not looking forward to going through puberty again… or school… meh, hopefully I can make a difference in this world like I did in my last one. Mental note: Punch Hagoromo-jiji in the face the next time I see him for dragging me away from my family in the afterlife. And kick these Grimm creatures in the nuts for being the cause of my reincarnation!'

'Calm down, kid.' Came another voice.

'Asura?! You're here as well?!'

'I'm Indra, brat! Don't compare me to my little brother!' Indra snapped.

'And why did Hagoromo-jiji send you with me?! I'm not an Uchiha!'

'He said your new body would need a bit of a pick-me-up. So shut up and start the assimilation process!'

'Why?! So I can go crazy and kill my entire family because of that damn curse of yours?!'

'Because the Grimm aren't the real threat here, that's why! Otou-sama (Father) saw the true threat and he wants your new body to be equipped and ready for the danger! That's why he sent me here so we both could assimilate into your new body!'

'Fine, you win, dammit! But you better not turn me emo, or I swear to fucking Kami…' Naruto let the threat linger there as he began the assimilation process.

It was official… Naruto was the unluckiest person ever. Saved his world, died in his sleep at an old age, reunited with his family and friends in the afterlife, only to be reincarnated along with the progenitor of the Uchiha to save yet another world that seemed hell-bent on destroying itself. Yep, this was gonna suck.

AN: So, what do you guys think of this one? Good? Bad? Yes, Indra has been sent back with Naruto, thus his new body will have the Sharingan, but it will not manifest right away, unlike with Foxes and Dust. Also, Naruto will be raised alongside Weiss and Winter and he's a year older than Weiss. That being said, the pairing for this one is also undecided as I want your opinions on this one. Should the pairing shift towards Weiss for a kinky faux brother/sister relationship? Should it go to Winter for the same reasons? Or should it go to someone different? I want your opinions, people, so let me know who among the girls Naruto should end up with! This is ZeroDivisionRaijin, signing off!
