(naruto and rwby are not owned by writersblock-no-jutsu)

The fight had started before sakura could even finish nodding, having to dive out of the way of the buisness end of naruto's newest blade, cold blue eyes staring at her while her own emerald orbs tried to avoid the gaze. "best get to fighting sakura or this'll be a short challenge!". the pinkette just let loose a squeek of fear as she rose a kunai to barely block his blade, the boy having swung round and brought the blade round with a bent elbow. "n-naruto stop! are you trying to kill me?!" "wouldn't be decent training if i wasn't!". unable to answer due fo the foot in her stomach, sakura cried out in muted pain as she was sent skipping across the ground, cold blue eyes following her form. before she could attempt to stand, a glyph appeared behind naruto, the weapon of weiss's choice fading as he kicked off of it, his eyes turning from icy blue to bloodied crimson, ember Cecilia encasing his fists as he approached her at High speeds, green eyes staring into his in shock, fear and awe.

it was only by luck that she was able to duck in time, her skin feeling the intense heat from the golden gauntlets that threatened to remove her head from her shoulders, said items releasing an earshattering crack as their explosive shells sent him flying back so her kunai didn't pierce his stomach. just as she was about to turn and throw it, her eyes widened as naruto made a single handed tora sign, blazing red glyphs appearing around him in mid air "think fast!with that, large blazing fireballs shot towards her at considerable speeds, the girl curling up in fear as she excepted her fate... only for the searing heat to never arrive. "h-huh..?". opening her eyes, they widened as they spotted naruto standing amongst the flames.. splitting them in two with his bare hand, scattering the flames as if they were dust on the wind.

"...you have a lot of work to do sakura. a LOT of work, and the person stopping you is currently over your sensei's shoulder. like a friend of mine once said, you're a shinobi now sakura. you're not allowed to be a failure... what you are allowed to be, is someone who trains to make sure they never fail again. when you can fight me, on equal ground, without ANY assistant.. Kakashi". the blond turned to the jounin with a smirk, making the cyclops sweat and Chuckle as he de-activated the sharingan. "...then sakura, will I respect you as a kunoichi. but until then... I can't work with you. I'll see you another time". with that, the blond dissapeared in a cloud of rose petals as kakashi walked over, holding the now healed uchiha over his shoulder with signs of fatigue from using healing jutsu he wasn't experienced with.

"k-kakashi-sensei... i-i'm sorry. i probably embarrassed you when he wiped the floor with me..". the pinkette's tears however, were stopped when she heard an... amused laugh from the man. "embarassed? sakura you managed to last longer than sasuke, you actually caught him in a genjutsu and... you re-awoke a flame long lost inside him. even his words just then was him admitting you have potential, something he rarely does. take today as a compliment and a sign of your strength... because it would be insulting to his words to do otherwise". the girl just nodded, smiling tearfully with her hands in her lap, grasping something that kakashi was pretty sure that, was the only reason naruto didn't beat her to a pulp.

a singular crimson kunai... the same one she had fought with.

(with naruto)

"so weiss... it's nice to finally meet you. all of team rwby, finally together.. have you met the others?" "yes, I have thank you. they explained to me what happened during your fight with that sakura girl... I must say, the way you fought in both the illusion and real life was... surprising. you were somewhat wild, yet elegant... like winter.". the boy just nodded, blushing lightly at the praise as he walked across the rooftops to his apartment, letting the words sink in. "but if i may... yang and blake said to ask you why that sakura angers you so much? something about only you being able to tell me". as she said that, the boy stopped in his steps, standing with his toes poking over the edge of a roof. "... me and her were an item. it was not long after i became a gennin, i challenged her to a bet and well.. when i won, she had to go on a date with me. she enjoyed it so we went on more and... eventually became an item. but 7 months later, i go to pick her up and... and...". weiss was silent as she heard the pain in his voice, wishing she could hug the poor boy. "...she was in bed.. with the uchiha.. he looked me right in the eyes and said 'this is the first of many things i'll claim from you'".

if it were possible, the ice queen was almost as red as her teammate with pure anger. she knew exactly what he meant by 'in bed with' the uchiha... and how much that must have broken him. even now, at a time when he had remembered himself, she doubted he was fully healed. "... don't worry. i think today, you've shown her just how to improve. plus you showed that "duck-ass-lookin prick" as yang calls him, just why you're his better". naruto nodded and Chuckled at her words, sighing as he dropped to the streets below and only now, noticed how late it was. "...so ladies, ichiraku tonight? or something else?". it was ruby who replied to him, her chipper voice coming through over the others "Can we go to the roaring leaf Tonight naru? I heard its kareoke night!". he just Chuckled before shaking his head, smiling apologetically at the disheartened whine from the girl you know I can't sing ruby" "...but i can".

"... please don't make me do this" "TOO LATE WHISKERS, TO THE ROARING LEAF! MUSH!". Crying silently Inside, he just nodded and made his way to the restaurant, not noticing the eyes following him the entire time. even as he turned to look at the crowd, the eyes went unnoticed, following him as he walked into the restaurant. they snuck up to thr main door and watched as he sat, looking through the menu as he seemed to have some sort of internal argument over what to eat. "well I'm not surprised..they cook good food here". the person kept watching, blushing as naruto looked RIGHT at them, thanking kami above that it was too dark for them to be noticed. inside, naruto was smiling as he looked over the menu, having finally made a unanimous decision for the meal, waving over the waitress. "yes, um.. could I have the ginger-citrus ham joint with roasted potatoes, a side order of sushi, a strawberry sunrise and for desert, the cookie dough cakeslice?". as the waitress collected his order, smiling as she complimented his order, the figure outside had to restrain themselves from strangling her. "DAMN HUSSY, NARUTO-KUN IS MINE! SMILE AT HIM LIKE THAT AGAIN AND I'LL BASH YOUR DAMN TEETH IN!"

when the food came, naruto wasted no time in enjoying the meal slowly, savouring each taste and sensation on his tastebuds, internally chuckling as a mental image of the food appeared in his mind for the girls to eat too, their squeals of thanks enough for him to know they appreciated it. it was only then the figure snuck inside, ordering exactly the same meal and hiding in a pretty terrible high collared trench-coat disguise, something which should not have worked as well as it did. "maybe if i eat the same food as him, i can know him better". ignoring the psycho stalker from across the room, naruto cleaned his lips and smiled as he looked up at the stage, watching the drunken shinobi and civilian's alike trying to battle each other in songs, something he had heard was called a 'rap battle'. "and that folks is yet another win for the champion, silver tongue shirou! any newcomers who wish to fight against him in the ring of lyrics?!".

the entire restaurant went silent, including naruto as they looked around for the next challenger. "doesn't look like there's anyone willing to go up there" "like hell there isn't naruto. you have me, a lyrical veteran inside you.. just let me take the reigns and follow my words". now normally, naruto would put this idea down like a rabid tora, not that he was exactly successful at that.. but there was a part of him, maybe awoken by Weiss or his inner child that was telling him to go up there and show off. so when he stood up, eyes blazing blue, he smirked at the stunned faces of the restaurant's patrons. "no way...naruto-kun's challenging him?! SO COOL!".as he stepped up to the stage, the announcer laughed as he wrapped his arm around the boy. "and what's your name son?" "mirror eyes uzumaki". nodding, accepting the name, he called out to the restaurant before jumping back, smirking as he placed on the metronome for the two to battle, both taking up their mics.

(NARUTO/SHIROU)

"oh look at this, another brat thinking he's the shit, well let me tell you now blondie, y'all rhymes ain't worth shit, for i am known as silver tongue, master of the rap, so go on and step down, before you spit your crap"

"oh isnt this just pretty, you think my rhymes are crap? boi you just rhymed shit with shit, what can i say about that?! you think you fuckin scare me you half baked twit, it's YOU and your silver tongue who'll get torn to fuckin bits, for after all in the battle of tongues so bold, one must always remember that silver can't beat gold!"

"oh so the brat has bite, well aint this fukin swell, you probably think the flames you spit are hot well i can't tell, you're just swearing and cursing and hopin it goes well, well listen to me now kid, you better walk away, or from on this stage is the last place your dignity shall lay!"

"HAH, ain't that fuckin funny, you really think you've won? all you done is scold me like you think you're my bloody mum! but honestly i couldn't tell if you girl or a guy, your kunai's so fucking small, it's invisible to the naked eye! so how bout you step down, let the youth take the stage, or perhaps you want to be like your dick, locked Up in a cage!"

As naruto smirked, dropping the mic as he looked the pale shinobi in the eyes, the entire restaurant erupted in cheers at his verse, declaring the victor of the battle with no doubt. it was a short battle, much shorter than the ones he had seen before, but knew as soon as he went for the manhood insults that he had already won. as the announcer rose his hand to declair him the victor, his eyes locked with those of his mysterious stalker for the first time as they shot open in surprise, waving over to the person with a smile.

"Hey ino! how are you!"

(..so. i have NO idea where i was going with that last scene, i just found it funny to imagine naruto in a rap battle with weiss telling him what to say.)
