Naruto: Memoirs of a Former Shinobi: Chapter 19: Graduation Part 3

After a long 10 hour flight Team STRQ arrived in Vytal City on the island of the city's namesake. It was roughly around 6pm local time as they disembarked the VTOL. "Okay Sum, whats the plan?" Qrow asked.

"We're to meet up with the rep from the Schnee Dust Company and he will be acting as our liaison during our mission."

"What about where we're staying?" Tai asked.

"He will have that organized as well." Summer replied as she opened up her scroll to read their mission directions for there rendezvous. "He's to meet us in the Ice Wharf Hotel."

"Then you heard our fearless leader let's roll out!" Tai shouted as the group walked towards the rendezvous location.

They soon arrived at a fancy looking hotel at looked more like a castle than any other hotel they would've seen in the likes of Vale or Mistral. When they entered the Hotel's main hall a extremely well dress man rushed over towards them. "What are you heathens doing here?!"

"I'm sorry?" Raven asked with a twitching eyebrow. Her right hand however was moving towards her sword when Qrow held down her arm.

"We're here to meet with our client." Summer informed the man before she walked towards the Hotel's Bar.

"Like she said. You don't like it? Bring it up with him." Tai stated as both he and Qrow smirked as they followed after Summer.

"I'm afraid I cannot allow you to enter this establishment... Especially dressed like that." The man stated to Team STRQ and he stepped in front of Summer.

"We've been hired to act as guards for the Schnee Dust Company's expedition. Our mission states that we are to meet with a member of their board in your Hotel's bar." Summer stated with a soft smile but don't let the smile fool you. It was the smile Summer would use on Tai and Qrow and it only promised pain.

"Yes but as this hotel's manager I cannot allow you to enter without abiding to the proper dress code."

"Okay you heard the man..." Tai shouted out loud gaining the nearby guest's attention as well. "This man values his hotel's dress code than the lives of people. To each there own as they say." Tai stated as he and the others turned around and left.

"Maybe he could explain to the SDC why there security escorts failed to arrive." Qrow smirked as he spoke to the hotel's manager before he too turned around to leave.

"Wait!" The manager shouted out. "I will let you pass this once." The manager nervously stated as he belligerently opened the bar's doors.

"Such a gentleman." Raven smirked as she walked in first followed by the others. As they sat down Qrow and Raven got up to gather them some drinks.

"How are we going to find him now?" Summer asked.

"We don't have to... We stick out too much so it's likely that he or she'll come to us. Besides we already look likes Hunters." Tai answered back to Summer.

"I suppose so." Summer agreed as her and the rest of her team sat back and relaxed as they waited.


(2 Hours later)

Deciding it would be best to not drink much Tai, Summer and Raven continued to wait for the representative from the SDC to arrive. However Qrow was starting to get a little drunk.

"I say we ditch'em for making us wait this long." Qrow stated as he slammed his fist on the table.

"It's a six figure pay... For each of us! I aint letting that amount of money slip by. Even if it is for those snobs." Tai then added to his counter argument. "Beside with that amount of money think about the amount of Alcohol you could buy!"

"Alright... You've convinced me... Now more booze."

"Okay but only after you've slept." Summer stated with a sweet smile.

"But i'm not..." Qrow never got to finish as Summer clenched her small fist and punched Qrow's gut knocking him unconscious.

"Despite hating those friendship speeches of yours... You really can be scary... You know that Summer?" Raven stated but Summer only responded back with the same sweet smile and a nod.

This only made Raven nervous but her nerves were soon dealt with when they noticed a tall black haired man arrive by there table. He was wearing a pure white double-breasted jacket with a red handkerchief in the breast pocket. "Are you Team STRQ was it?" The man asked.

"Yeah how can we help?" Summer asked.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jacques Schnee. I am your contractor for your mission here on Vytal." Jacques extended his hand out towards Summer who smiled back and accepted his offer.

"A pleasure to meet you." Summer responded back before she kicked at Qrow waking the now sober man up from his 'rest.'

"We're ready to head out whenever you're ready." Summer smiled back and Qrow groaned in the background.

"That won't be necessary until tomorrow. It get dark quite early here in Vytal and we'll only have around an hours worth of light left so we won't be able to travel far from the city to make it worth while camping out. Since we're here for another night I would gladly pay for you accommodation for the evening."

"Thanks for the offer but this hotel isn't exactly... Our tastes, i'm afraid." Tai stated back to Jacques didn't seem to understand the statement or he was just playing stupid.

"Nonsense! I'll get a room sorted for you." Jacques smiled before he turned around and left the four hunters before they could respond.

Silence then feel on the four Hunters as they didn't want to argue if they were getting to stay in fancy hotel for free. It was just a shame the staff left a lot to be desired about.

"Well... Looks like we're staying the night then." Tai groaned as he rubbed his face and sat back down again. "I think i'll join you for that drink Qrow."

"I think so too."

"Oh Naruto, Qrow." Summer sweetly smiled at Tai and Qrow. This smile caused both grow men who easily stood nearly a foot taller than he to kneel down in front of her like a dog who had angered it's master.

"We won't be drinking." Both Qrow and Tai stated at the same time.

"Good boys. Now get up so we can get our rooms and prepare for tomorrow." Summer stated as she turned around and walked towards the Hotel's reception.

Raven also walked past the two men but not before making a whipping sound and smirking at the two of them. "I fucking hate your sister sometimes dude." Tai groaned in annoyance as he got back to his feet.

"The feeling's mutual." Qrow groaned back as he done the same.


(Next morning)

Arriving together in the hotel's lobby area Team STRQ waited for Jacques to reappear. Instead however, they noticed him appear with a small girl who appeared to be not much older than six years old.

"I'm ready to depart when you are." Jacques groaned as he held tightly to the kids hand.

"Umm, why are you bringing a kid along?" Tai asked confused as to why the kid was going with them.

"My wife feels that I am in need of spending more time with my daughter." Jacques informed them as he patted his daughter's back. "Go on, Introduce yourself."

"Greetings. My name is Winter Schnee. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"Ohh, aren't you the most adorable little thing." Summer squealed with joy as she went to try and pick up Winter.

"Summer no. No hugging our client's child to death." Tai groaned as he held Summer up by her hood.

"But she's just so cute! I can't help it!" Summer tried to counter argue but Jacques cough brought there attention back.

They looked down to find a blushing Winter hiding behind her father's leg. "Well, now that introductions are out of the way what's our plan of action?" Jacques asked.

"Since your mine is about a 3 hour walk up the mountain we'll be leaving as soon as possible. Once we arrive me and the rest of our team will be checking out your current perimeter defenses." Summer informed Jacques.

"While I'll be making a clearing for a VTOL landing site." Tai also informed Jacques causing the later to raise an eyebrow.

"Do you feel that it's necessary?" Jacques asked.

"I ran a look over the camp's blue prints. There isn't an area for air evac in case something goes wrong. It'll be better to cover all bases to be on the safe side." Tai responded hoping that Jacques would not ask any more questions.

"I suppose when you put it that way it does seem to be the right thing... Would it cost anything?" Jacques asked.

"I wouldn't think so. I'll just have to cut down a few trees and uproot them." Tai answered back as he opened the front door to the hotel. "It's best we head out now. We've a bit of a long walk ahead of us."


(Near the Schnee Dust Mine)

Seeing a shivering Summer in front of him Tai warmed up his hand with Chakra and placed it on the base of Summer's neck. "Better?"

"Yeah, thanks."Summer responded as they continued to walk.

The only one other than Tai who wasn't effected by the cold was the young Winter, who was happily skipping as the group followed closely behind. But when Winter came up to a dip on the mountain's trail she suddenly stopped. At first the only one who noticed this was Qrow. "You okay squirt?"

Qrow never got a response and her father Jacques noticed this. "Winter, it's not polite to not answer back when being asked a question."

But Winter still didn't respond. Fearing something was wrong Qrow grabbed a hold of his weapon and rushed forward towards her. When he got up beside Winter he noticed what had caused her to freeze. Ahead on the path was an Ursa Major. And it was a big one.

"Guys, get up here." Qrow softly spoke.

The first one to arrive was Tai followed by Raven and Summer. "You think there could be more?" Raven softly asked.

"Maybe. I can't see anything though... I'll deal with it from up here. Once it's gone we'll move quickly to the base. It shouldn't be too far from here." Summer informed her team who silently nodded in agreement.

Twisting Thorn in the air, Summer's weapon transformed from it's spear mode into it's rifle mode. As she calmed and slowed her breath Summer focused on the head of the Ursa Major hoping for a single shot to be enough.

When she pulled the trigger the sound of the gun shot echo'd through the mountain side as the Ursa Major was annihilated "I didn't like that echo." Qrow groaned.

"Agreed." Tai stated as he crossed his fingers. "Shadow Clone." Two clones then appeared, one either side of Tai. "Take Mr Schnee and little Winter ahead to the camp. At all cost protect them." Tai ordered the two clone who nodded back in agreement before grabbing hold of the two members of the Schnee family.

"No wait just one second. I'll not stand for..." Jacques was about to complain but was cut short as he froze in fright as Tai pulled him up over his shoulders before dashing away towards the camp at a high speed.

"Was that really necessary? You don't have much Chakra to be wasting on clones." Raven stated towards Tai with a raised eyebrow.

"I didn't waste Chakra..." Tai responded as he focused his chakra into the ground. "I can feel several bodies moving towards us. If I didn't know any better i'd say the Grimm left out a trap for us." Tai stated out causing the others to look at him weirdly.

"How can the Grimm set out a trap?" Qrow asked.

"First off we only noticed that Ursa after climbing up from a blind spot on the path. There's a cliff face beside that area on the path. Any loud noise would've bounced back off it causing the echo. And I have a feeling that Ursa was standing there by coincidence either." Tai answered.

"What makes to say that?" Summer asked.

"Call it a gut feeling then." Tai responded as he activated Akuma into it's first gear. "Get ready. They're coming from the south-west."

The rest of the team readied their weapons as the four of them faced off towards to direct Tai had stated but there was an awkward silence amongst them. Feeling the hairs stand on the back of their necks they all now felt something wasn't right.

"I still can't see anything coming towards us." Raven softly spoke but it was loud enough for them all to hear.

"Just stay focused." Summer responded to Raven not changing the direction she was looking towards. But when a soft sound was heard from behind she turned around only to find in horror that a Beowolf was right above her in the treeline.

"SUMMER!" Tai shouted out as he watched the Beowolf jump down from the trees and launched itself towards his fiancee.

In his own burst of power that swept over them all Tai moved at near blinding speeds to rush towards Summer as he pushed her towards a build up pile of snow near them.

Feeling to soft landing she took Summer could only look in stunned silence as Tai was bitten on his neck and shoulder by the Beowolf.

Qrow and Raven were lost for words but they started to spring into action when they both noticed a trickle of blood appear from the Beowolf's mouth.

The bite had managed to pierce through the remainder of Tai's aura. In doing so the bite had shattering his shoulder. With a slight increase of pressure from it's jaws the Beowolf growled as it began to shake Tai around like a rag doll.

"Ahhhh!" Tai shouted out in pain as he tired to focus his chakra into his right hand. "How about you eat this instead!" Tai shouted out as he forced an orb of chakra into the Grimm's jawbone

"RASENGAN!" Tai shouted out as the Beowolf shattered into thousands of pieces. With the Grimm now gone Tai fell face first onto the snow.

He continued to lay on the ground motionless as Summer slowly walked towards him. "Naruto... Naruto speak to me are you alright?" Summer asked but she didn't hear any response.

It was only then that she noticed the red snow surrounding Tai. "No..." Summer softly cried as she feel to her knees. She was too scared to touch him as she thought he was dead. "No... Please don't..."

As Qrow ans Raven watched Summer over Tai's body they could see hundreds of Beowolves comings out from the behind of the nearby trees. "Raven."

"I know... This isn't good. We need to get them both out of here and quickly." Raven stated before she placed her hand on Summer's shoulder.

"No... Please don't got Naruto... Please don't go." Summer continue'd to cry before soon both Qrow and Raven noticed that her eyes were beginning to shine. "NOOOOOO!" Summer cried out as a blinding white light quickly covered over them and the surrounding Grimm.


And Cut!

So it's been a while since my last chapter once more for the delay i'm sorry but as always when i think i'm gonna get some work done my real life work decides to say no fuck that shit here twice the workload you done last year... Enjoy!

Anyway i'll stop here before i go into a full rant about my work and get going with this chapter's Q&A!

1) Sooo did Tai get date raped by Raven? You'll have to wait to find out.

2) Was that Omake telling the birth of Pyrrha? Nope. It was the first ever meeting bettween Carolina (Pyrrha's Mother) and Sidero Nikos (Pyrrha's Father)

3) What will Ino say to Sasuke? More or less what Naruto had been through as well as the last message to live on with out him. What she said to Sakura was all gossip over how adorable Summer was with Naruto and Vice Versa.

4) Was Naruto's heritage finally revealed to Konoha!? It was revealed during the War when Minato was brought back along with the other Hokages.

5) Did Minato react to Naruto's death when he was told. And who told him? He remained silent before rampaging against the remaining Akatsuki members and was told of Naruto's 'death' by Tsunade who was crying when she answered his question over why he couldn't sense his son's chakra. Tsunade believed it was the Akatsuki who had killed Naruto since by this stage they had the Nine Tails under their control.

So that's all for this chapter folks. If you have a question do feel free to post a review or PM myself. If I don't answer your question on next chapter's Q&A I will try to reply via PM. No spoiler question though. they won't be given full answers. But anyway thank you for reading this chapter. I hope you've all enjoyed it. Till next time!
