Chapter 14
So, um someone asked me if this was going to be an alternate universe of “Naruto, Remnant’s Sage and his 9 disciples,” and I’m just gonna say right here, right now, it is NOT. I did borrow the Otsutsuki thing from it, but I do not plan it to be just an alternate version. (Also BTW, the story is by qrowanime, and if you haven’t read that story, you should, it’s pretty good stuff) I am NOT going to have any RWBY characters suddenly have chakra and whatnot. Also, just a heads up, this chapter is gonna be a little shorter than the others, so thats that. So now that can of worms is dealt with, I’ll stop taking your time and let you read. Enjoy!
Sasuke walked towards a stand that stood in front of the Argus walls, and bought a tomato. It had been a REALLY long time since he had any of his favorite food, and he believed that it was about time. Sasuke then pulled out a Kunai, which he had cleaned, and cut the tomato up into 6 even, neat slices, and popped them into his mouth one at a time like apple slices
Ruby looked at Sasuke as if he just ate frog legs, and asked, “You eat tomatoes just like that?”
Sasuke simply nodded. To some, it may seem a bit odd, but to Sasuke, it was almost like second nature
Suddenly, Ruby heard a familiar voice shout, “LITTLE CUTE BOY OZPIN!”
Oscar looked behind him, and managed to say, “Oh cra-” before Nora tackled him
Ren and Jaune then walked towards them, smiling relieved
After Team RWBY reunited with Team JNR and a few words, they got on a transport and slowly drived through the town
Sasuke ignored them as he heard them talk about how this city was able to be set up without the help of any major cities, and he used a sharpening stone and sharpened the blade of his Kunai.
Finally they got to their stop, and as they filed off, Weiss asked Jaune, “So, where are we staying?”
Jaune rubbed the back of his head, “Well, uh-”
Suddenly, a blonde woman holding a tan-skinned baby across the street shouted, “Hey Jaune!”
“Hey Saffron,” Jaune replied
Ruby looked at Jaune, then Saffron, then Jaune again, and then once again Saffron, and finally the puzzle pieces stuck together
“She’s your sister!?” Ruby shouted in glee and excitement
A few minutes later
“Whew, Jaune was not kidding when he said that a lot of people would be coming,” Saffron said as everyone was settled in the living room, except Ren, Nora, and Sasuke, who were preparing a pile of sandwiches, and Yang and Weiss, who were cooing over the baby, who’s name was Adrien
“So, I see you have a rather large family,” Blake said as she looked at a family picture, which had a whole litter of blonde-haired kids all spread out over a couch, however it looked more like a madhouse then a family picture
“Yup, moved out the second I could, and my baby brother, Jaune, wanted to come with me,” Saffron said
“I’m not a baby! That right there is a baby!” Jaune said, pointing at Adrien
Adrien made a grumpy face and crossed his arms, which practically got Weiss and Ynag cooing over him some more
After talking a little more, and once the food was brought in and everyone eating, Yang looked to Sasuke and cleard her throat, “Ahem, Sasuke, is there something you’d like to share with Jaune, Ren, and Nora?”
Sasuke looked at Yang, then nodded
“Oh, don’’t mind me, I need to change Adrien anyway,” Saffron said as she left the room
Sasuke took a deep breath, then repeated to them what he had said to Ozpin on the train
Ren was silent, Jaune was a bit bewildered, and Nora was, well…Nora.
“Chakra? Massive fireballs? WOW! SO AWESOME!” Nora shouted
Oh dear, Sasuke already knew where this was going
Nora was practically in front of Sasuke, jumping up excitedly, “What can you do?! TELL ME, TELL ME!”
Sasuke sighed
He didn’t particularly like showing off his abilities, but he already knew what it felt like to be badgered about his abilities, courtesy of Ruby, and he was not gonna suffer the same fate with Nora
Sasuke made a couple of hand signs and his right hand burst into blue electricity
He could literally see Nora’s eyes grow bigger, and then she started to reach out a hand to touch it
“Don’t touch, or else,” Sasuke said
Nora replied, “Pfft, if I touched that thing, it would probably just make me stronger.”
Ren then said, “When Nora comes into contact with electricity, her strength skyrockets.”
Sasuke nodded, and then dispersed the chidori. If regular electricity can make her stronger, then what can lightning style chakra do?
Sasuke simply didn’t want to know
Blake then looked to Jaune and asked, “Have you been able to find a way to get us to Atlas?”
“Well, no, the Atlas Base denied as passage, and won’t even let us in,” Jaune said
Ruby then said, “Well, we can try again tomorrow, right?”
Jaune nodded, and Ren said, “We may have better chances now that we have Weiss with us. But until then, we will have to try to occupy some time.”
Ruby nodded, then smiled and looked at Yang and Qrow, before holding up her scroll, “ANyone wanna play, VIDEO GAMES?!”
Yang and Qrow both obliged, but Sasuke got up to leave
“Where are you going?” Weiss asked
“To train, in case we run into Deidara again,” Sasuke responded
Weiss nodded, then asked shyly, “Is it ok if I come with you?”
Sasuke looked hard at Weiss, before nodding reluctantly, “I don’t see why not.”
Weiss hopped up and made sure that she had Myrtenaster, then said, “Let’s go.”
As they left, Sasuke for some reason could see Yang giving Weiss a sly smile. He didn’t know what it was for.
///
As Sasuke and Weiss walked further away from Argus, but still in sight to where Sasuke could get back in a short amount of time, Weiss asked, “Where are we going?”
Sasuke answered, “Somewhere where the presence of nature is stronger.”
A few minutes later, Sasuke stopped
Sasuke then created a shadow clone and had it start practicing Senjutsu, and then he turned to Weiss
“Now, you wanted to train with me, right?” Sasuke asked
Weiss nodded
“Then draw your weapon.”
Weiss drew her rapier, and activated her aura, and Sasuke his sword
“Now charge, and don’t hold back,” Sasuke said
Weiss got into a attack stance
///
Ruby went into the back yard, looking for Maria, who she found sitting on a chair, looking through a bowl of fruits
“Aah, there you are!” Ruby exclaimed
Maria looked at her, then said, “Hello there, and what may I help you with?”
Ruby looked at Maria
During the trip to Argus on the flatbed, after the fight with Deidara, Ruby asked Maria how she knew about the Apathy, and Maria said that she was the legendary Grimm Reaper, and she also said something about Ruby’s silver eyes
Ruby asked the old woman, “Uh, you said there was something special about my eyes. What is it that they can do?”
Maria smiled, and said, “Come closer, and I will tell you.”
///
Weiss panted, as she tiredly held out her sword
She then yelled in effort as she once again stuck her sword into the ground, and a glyph formed in front of her, and the Armas Gigas started to climb out
Suddenly, a long, blue, electric blade slashed its head off before it could fully emerge, and the knight faded, as did the glyph
Weiss held the sword out in front of her and went into a defensive stance, but Sasuke just sheathed his sword and said, “That’s enough.”
Weiss collapsed on her knees
Jeez
Sasuke then proceeded to say, “You’re relying too much on your summoning. Instead of attacking or defending when you're supposed to, you fall back and try to summon. A better strategy would be to attack your opponent and stun them instead of falling back, which in turn will give you enough time to summon. Another thing, your weapon.”
Sasuke gestures to Weiss’s rapier
“In order to land a fatal hit, you need to stab with it, which is better when aiming for speed, reach, and accuracy, but is harder to land when your opponent is continuously moving. Slashing however, isn’t as accurate, and requires more strength, but covers more area than stabbing, however, with your weapon, not much lethal damage is dealt when you slash. Try channeling Electric dust into your weapon to give it some cutting power so that it can deal more damage when you slash. That is all for now.”
Sasuke looked at Weiss’s condition, then he made a few hand signs, and took some of the Senjutsu Chakra that his clone made, then held out his hand towards Weiss
“Palm Sage Jutsu,” Sasuke said, and immediately sage chakra went out to her, and healed any injuries that she had
Sasuke had picked up the jutsu back at the farm, and during the time that he practiced Senjutsu there, Hagoromo told him about the technique, however, Sasuke still needed to practice it. The only reason why it worked on Weiss was because her injuries were more minor. However, the technique would be more effective if he went into Sage Mode
Weiss could feel the effects, and got up once she was completely healed, and asked Sasuke, “Will do, after a few modifications, but Sasuke, why did you say yes to training me?”
Sasuke simply gave her a deadpan stare and said, “Because, I simply saw potential in you.”
Weiss nodded, then she looked at Argus. The sun had begun to set, and its orange glow made the waves gleam and shine.
Weiss turned to Sasuke, and noticed that he too was looking at the sunset. Whether she knew it or not, the sunset had brought back memories for Sasuke
Sasuke sat down, and said, “Let’s take a break.”
As Weiss sat down next to Sasuke, Sasuke brought back up the memory in his head
It was some time when Sasuke was 6 or 7. Itachi had taken him for a hike, and at the end of the day, they sat on top of the monumental cliff that had the hokage’s faces carved into it, and watched as the soft, sunset orange sphere slowly went past the horizon
For some reason, the sunset before him reminded him of that time when all was innocent and blissful.
Sasuke looked at Weiss, who hadn’t noticed that he was looking at her, and once again, he saw himself in her, his younger self. Suddenly, Sasuke noticed how beautiful she looked with the sunset shining on her face
Weiss noticed Sasuke, and looked at him
“Is everything okay?”
Sasuke nodded, and got up, “Come on, we need to get back.”
///
Salem was a bit bewildered. She hadn’t known exactly how powerful Madara truly was.
Salem asked once more, “So, you mean you could easily beat all of the best huntsmen and huntresses, warriors, and soldiers from Vale, Mistral, Vacuo, and Atlas altogether in one combined army?”
“Indeed,” Madara said, “If your description of huntsmen is true, then even a low Jonin could defeat the best huntsmen rather handily.”
Salem then looked at Itachi, “And how powerful is this Sasuke?”
Itachi then says, “In his prime, he was the most powerful person in his time, and only one could match him. However, Madara could defeat Sasuke’s prime.”
Salem smiled. There was no stopping her now.
Madara then asked, “So, these brother gods you say will be brought back once these four relics are combined?”
Salem nods
Madara continues, “And if they are destroyed, humanity will truly be freed from them, and once they are, we can then establish everlasting peace?”
“Yes, that's the plan,” Salem lied
Madara didn’t seem to spot the lie, and said, “If that is so, then you will have my assistance. However, there is one thing you should know.”
Madara let out a dark aura that was so powerful, the windows had started to rapidly crack, and Salem felt is if it was suffocating her
“Next time you decide to forcefully control me, make sure you have a stronger grip, devil,” Madara said
Chapter 15
Hey, D211 here, I was just wondering, what is your guys opinion on what the best chapter is so far? Just a thought, I was wondering.
Sasuke got up early
He couldn’t sleep again, so he went out into the backyard, stuck his blade into the ground, then stood on the handle and balanced on top of it while practicing Senjutsu. That was Hagoromo’s idea
For some reason, Sasuke couldn’t stop thinking about Weiss. Her Ice-blue eyes, her white hair, and the scar she had near her-ARGGG, FOCUS!
Sasuke banished the thought from his mind
He took in a deep breath, and began the process
“Well, practicing Senjutsu now, are we?”
“What is it now? I’m a bit busy here.”
“Do not worry, I will not take up much of your time”
“Well, speak up.”
Suddenly, Hagoromo’s voice took on a serious tone
“Sasuke, what I am telling you must not be taken lightly.”
Sasuke grew serious, and replied, “Is something wrong?”
“There is something besides Salem, a much bigger threat, but it is not here yet.”
“What is this threat?”
“Otsutsuki”
Sasuke almost fell off his sword
“What do you mean!?”
“It wasn’t until recently that I noticed that they were coming, but from my calculations, they could be here in three years' time.”
“Are they like Kaguya?”
“No, thankfully not. I happen to know what their names are. Urashiki, Kinshiki, and Momoshiki. They are not as powerful as Kaguya, however, if they were given certain conditions, they could possibly be.”
“Then I just won’t give them those conditions”
“That is not all, Sasuke.”
“What?”
Hagoromo paused, then said, “Allow me to tell you a story. When I was in my youth, I went exploring the universe, but then one day, I found two cosmic beings, The God of Light, and The God of Darkness. We got along quite well, then they told me about their plans to create a world. I agreed and assisted them in their efforts. However, the brother gods began to quarrel, and I tried to stop the battle, but I was not as powerful then. I battled the God of Darkness, and despite my valiant efforts, I was defeated. However, before the God of Darkness could finish me, his elder brother stopped him, and the two dueled until the God of Darkness was defeated. I had a debt to him ever since. They then made amends, and their quarreling stopped. However, I went back to my world, but little did I or Hamura know that my mother had actually had another daughter, a half sister. She had as well went to explore the universe, and found the earth that the brother gods created.”
“What was her name?”
“Zenshiki. She did not possess any kind of Dojutsu yet, as she was still young. She found the God of Light, and they fell in love, and had a child. That child was the first Silver-eyed warrior, and was different than many other Silver-eyed people because that child was part Otsutsuki. However, The God of Darkness was jealous, and waged war once again. The fight was long and perilous, and in the crossfire, Zenshiki was killed. Once the God of Light had once again made amends and defeated his brother, he came and told me. I was furious. Furious at my mother for never telling me of my half-sister, and furious at the God of Darkness for killing her, and furious at the God of Light for allowing her to die. I attacked him, and I had grown stronger. I battled the God, but his younger brother came to his aid, and together, I was defeated. We then made a truce, to never cross paths again. But then, once I found out that Zenshiki had a child, I broke the treaty, and went to their world. I searched, and found her child, who was now an old woman, and dying from old age. She had 4 children in her lifetime. The God of Light had created many more Silver-eyed warriors, but none of them were of the blood-line of Zenshiki.”
Sasuke had stayed silent during the entire story, and once Hagoromo finished, he said, “And why do you tell me this?”
“Because, Ruby is a part of that bloodline. She has the same Otsutsuki blood in her as you do.”
///
The gates clanked shut
They were not letting them in
“Oh, come on!” Yang shouted in frustration
Two guards behind the gate said, “Passage denied. The borders are closed, and we will not be giving you passage to Atlas.”
Ruby then started, “But-”
“DENIED!”
Blake then said, “We-”
“DENIED!”
Qrow said, “Hey-”
“DENIED!”
Weiss facepalmed
This is getting annoying
Sasuke then walked forward, and said, “Let me try.”
He then activated his Sharingan, and looked the officers in the eye behind the gate, and using Genjutsu, said, “You will let us speak with your commanding officer. Tell her we have Weiss Schnee.”
The officers then both said in unison, “We will let you speak with our commanding officer. We will tell her that you have Weiss Schnee.”
They then marched off
Sasuke then turned to his group, and Weiss crossed her arms and said, “And why didn’t you do that earlier?”
“For reasons,” Sasuke replied
Maria then frowned, “Uh, I think I may know who their commanding officer is.”
“Well, then thats good, if you guys are friends,” Ruby said
“No, not friends,” Maria replied, “More like….”
“Colleagues?” Oscar asked
“Nope,” Maria answered
“Enemies?” Blake said
“Yes! That's the word I’m looking for!” Maria exclaimed
“What made you guys enemies?” Ren asked
“You bring outside peanuts into a base one time, your on the screening list for life,” Maria said
“Seriously?” Qrow asked
“Yes, seriously,” Maria answered
The two soldiers came back, and the gates opened
“Welcome, Special Operative, Caroline Cordovin!” the soldiers said as if they were at a amateur auction
A short woman came walking out, and said, “At ease, soldiers.”
Then she looked at Maria, “I see that your party of no-goods is bigger now.”
Maria then replied, “I have heard that over time, people change, but you Caroline? No, you're still the same, with a stick all the way up your a-”
Ruby then interrupted, “We just want some help getting to Atlas.”
“And why would I do that? The border to Atlas is closed, which means no passage!” Caroline said
Sasuke sighed
Looks like he was gonna have to save the day again
Sasuke activates his Sharingan again, and looks at Caroline and says, “Excuse me.”
Caroline made eye contact with him and said, “What?”
Sasuke then put her under Genjutsu, and said, “Please give us a flight to Atlas. We have very important business with General Ironwood. It is very urgent.”
Caroline then replied, “I will give you a flight to Atlas. But, unfortunately, all our aircraft are occupied right now, so you won’t be able to get a flight to Atlas until about in 4 days.”
Sasuke then nodded, and deactivated his Sharingan, and replies, “We can work with that.”
Caroline nods, and glared at Maria before saluting them and closing the gates to the base
Sasuke then turned around and said, “You heard her. We have 4 days. Everyone get comfortable.”
Everyone gave Sasuke a perplexed look
“Well, that was easy,” Yang said, “Who’s up for brunch?”
///
In the land of Darkness
Salem thought she had the perfect plan
Summon the three beings, and put them under the strongest control spell she had, and make them do her bidding
However, she found out that the blonde one she didn’t need to do it on, he was on her side fully, and so she put the spell on the other two
Itachi had managed to barely break it, but when she tried to stop Madara from getting into a fight with Arthur Watts, he broke her spell like one would break a twig. How was that possible?
Her spell could make even the most ferocious, and smartest, most experienced Grimm do her bidding without even a question, how was it that Madara had so easily broken out of her control?
Salem suddenly realized that this person that she had resurrected may have been a mistake. She would have to be careful from now on.
Itachi then walked into the room, and he looked at Salem from his end of the long table
Itachi then said, “Salem. You said you wanted to see me about something?”
Salem nodded, and said, “I’m sending you to assist Deidara. Seems that even with his new gift, he can’t defeat Sasuke.”
Itachi nodded, and said, “Is that all?”
Salem then said, “If what you said about your Mangekyou is true, then I will give you the same healing factor as Deidara. That way you can use your abilities as much as you want, and your eye will heal from any damage done.”
Then she held up her hand, and an orb of purple energy formed, and it floated to Itachi, and when he caught it, it was absorbed into his hand, and his eyes pulsed purple for a second before they went back to it’s normal color.
“Now go. You will find Deidara in Argus.”
///
A few hours later, back at Saffron’s house, everyone sat in silence
Jaune then asked, “So, what is it that you wanted to tell us, Oscar?”
Oscar looked uncomfortable
Sasuke looked at Oscar impatiently, and said, “Speak.”
Oscar then told them about how Salem was Immortal, and his story
He could tell that when he was done, team JNR was upset
Jaune, in his frustration, punched a wall, and left behind a spiderweb of cracks
“Jaune, calm down!” Ruby said
“How can I stay calm!? Everything we are doing is for nothing!” Jaune shouted
Ren then said, “Jaune does have a point. If an enemy cannot be killed, then how can they be stopped?”
Sasuke then stood up and said, “They can be sealed away. Back then your chances of defeating her were slim, but now that you have me, we can defeat her.”
Jaune then looked at Sasuke, and said, “Yeah, so what? Salem’s immortal, and any prison or seal you put her in is never going to last forever! And if our chances were so much bolstered by just you coming, then where the hell were you all this time!? Matter of fact, why were you here?”
Sasuke then glared at Jaune, and his chakra flared out, and out of habit, his Sharingan activated and let out a red glow, and he said, “Watch your mouth. You may have improved, but I could easily kill you in a blink.”
Jaune stepped back, and Sasuke looked around him, and could see everyone staring at Sasuke shocked at what he just said
Sasuke looked at the TV that was off, and could see that his Sharingan was on without him knowing, and so he sighed and deactivated it, and forced his chakra back in
Then he looked at Jaune, and reluctantly said, “I’m…sorry. I didn’t know what happened just now, but I want you to know, I didn’t mean it.”
He then held out his hand, and Jaune took it and they shook hands as a sign of a truce
“Well, on the bright side, we have a plane to Atlas,” Nora said
“Yeah, I don’t know what we would have done without Sasuke,” Yang said
“Probably steal a plane,” Jaune said
“Yeah, I don’t think that would have went so well,” Weiss said
They then laughed
However, Sasuke questioned himself
“Why am I here?”
///
Three days later
Sasuke stood by the cliff that dropped into the ocean
“Answer me!”
Sasuke had been out there for a hour, practicing Senjutsu, but he couldn’t get his mind off of what Jaune said
“Yeah, so what? Salem’s immortal, and any prison or seal you put her in is never going to last forever! And if our chances were so much bolstered by just you coming, then where the hell were you all this time!? Matter of fact, why were you here?”
Why was he here?
Suddenly, Sasuke remembered something Hagoromo said
He said, that he had a debt to the God of Light
What if, by sending Sasuke here, he was Hagoromo paying off a debt
Sasuke clenched his fists
It was happening again. He was being used.
Sasuke then said angrily, “Is that all I am? Some tool to be used to fix a debt? Is that all I am to you Hagoromo!? Is it!? IS IT!?”
“No it is not,” Hagoromo said, having finally answered Sasuke, “That is not all that you are.”
Sasuke seethed, “Then why did you send me here? To grant my wish, or to pay off a debt? Did you send me here because the God of Light simply wanted someone to help Ozpin in his quest? Or did you send me here because no one wanted me but you? TELL ME!”
“I did not just send you here to pay off a debt, there were other reasons as well.”
Sasuke grew even more angry, “So, you admit it.”
“You wanted a second chance. I gave it to you. I also paid my debt at the same time. I simply saw a way to kill two birds with one stone.”
“So all I am is a pawn for you to toy with, is that it?”
“No, that is no-”
“DON’T LIE TO ME!”
“Do not demand things from me, Sasuke. You may be the reincarnation of my son, Indra, but I will not hesitate to deliver discipline. Do not question my motives.”
“I WILL question them. I am not some person who you can use or manipulate for your own purposes. I am not some weak being that you can throw around. I don’t want just a half-truth.”
Hagoromo was silent
“We are finished here.”
Sasuke felt his presence leave
Sasuke exhaled a angry breath, and then he heard footsteps
Sasuke turned around to see Weiss and Blake, walking towards him
Sasuke had been training Weiss a lot, and he could see her improve greatly. He had actually grown a bit fond of her.
Blake, Yang, and Ruby came sometimes too to train with Sasuke
Sasuke buried his anger deep down, and put back up his deadpan expression
“Hello, back for more?”
Weiss nodded, and said, “So, what are we doing today?”
Sasuke then said, “Follow me.”
They walked into the forest, and Blake asked, “Where are we going?”
Sasuke didn’t answer her
As they walked, they neared a waterfall
Sasuke then stopped, and said, “This is the place. Sit.”
Sasuke then sat down, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes, as if in meditation.
Blake and Weiss did the same
After a few minutes, Blake asked, “What are we doing?”
Sasuke then shushed her, “Stay silent, and listen. What do you hear?”
Blake listened as close as she could, and said, “A waterfall?”
Weiss then added, “Birds?”
“Now, what do you smell?”
Blake then said, “The smell of pine needles?”
Sasuke then said, “And what are they a part of?”
“Nature?” Weiss said
Sasuke nodded, and said, “Correct. You see, no matter what world you are in, nature will always be a part of it. Nature gives you energy when you train in it. Nature gives you food, water, sunlight for crops, and hides you from danger when it is night. For me, Nature is what gives me power. Nature chakra. Without it, I cannot forgo into Sage Mode. Nature can be your ally, or it can be your enemy. So you must learn to respect it. Use your environment for your purposes, but what you take from Nature will always be returned to it, one way or another.”
Sasuke then stood up
“You have all eagerly taken my training. And with it, you will become stronger. That is a guarantee.”
Sasuke then allowed himself to give them a small smile, “I feel rather proud of you, if I say so myself.”
Then quickly his smile disappeared
Something wasn’t right
Blake then asked, “What's wrong?”
“Shhh,” Sasuke said, “Somethings not right.”
Suddenly, they heard a noise, like a blade being drawn, and when Sasuke looked behind, he saw a giant wave of red energy sailing toward him.
All I can say is that things are gonna escalate, and the shit is gonna hit the fan.
Chapter 16
If Sasuke had turned around just even a half second earlier, he could have been able to stop it. But it seems fate wouldn’t allow it
The red wave of energy sailed towards Sasuke, and had caught him off-guard
Sasuke raised his arm up and prepared for impact
He felt the force of the wave as if it stopped abruptly, and he could feel the hot air around out whoosh out.
But the impact never came
Sasuke opened his lone eye and what he saw somewhat shocked him
He saw a giant, red skeletal hand outstretched in front of him, protecting him from the wave
He followed the arm until it lead to a red ribcage
The skeletal arm and ribcage then dissipated, and he saw a man with black hair, and a red cloak
The man turned around, and smiled
“Impossible,” Sasuke said
Itachi smiled, and said, “Hello Sasuke.”
///
Adam had the perfect plan
Or he thought he did
Save up all the kinetic energy he could, and then once he found Sasuke and Blake in the same spot where he could fight them alone, he would destroy Sasuke with one strike when he didn’t have his guard up, and then kill Blake
He thought it was perfect.
And it almost worked
Until that damn red skeleton arm came out of nowhere and ruined it
Adam started to step backward as he saw the guy who summoned the red arm talk to Sasuke as one might a friend, or a brother
He then saw Sasuke look at him, and his lone eye gave off a ominous red glow
He could feel a suffocating aura radiate from Sasuke, and it wrapped around Adam like a blanket and threatened to squeeze all the air out of him
In simple terms, Adam fucked up
///
Sasuke was disgusted with himself that he was actually caught off-guard
And what made Sasuke mad was that Adam was actually gonna try to get rid of him by stabbing him in the back when he wasn’t looking.
But he hadn’t expected Itachi to be here
“First Deidara, and now Itachi. Who else did Salem bring back?” Sasuke wondered
Itachi then said to Sasuke in a humorous tone, “Huh, he actually caught you off guard. Your losing your touch, Sasuke.”
Sasuke gave Itachi a deadpan stare, and said, “I was a bit busy training these two.”
Sasuke then gestured to Blake and Weiss, who both waved
Itachi then said to Sasuke, “You’ve taken pupils? I thought I would never see the day that you would.”
Sasuke then said, “Well, you did. Now, maybe it’s time that we put our attention on our uninvited guest.”
Sasuke then looked at Blake and Weiss, and gestured to Adam and said, “Show me what you have learned.”
Blake and Weiss nodded, and drew their weapons
Adam got into a defensive stance
Weiss looked to Blake and tossed her a few small dust canisters, and said, “Those are just for you.”
Blake smiled and said, “Thanks.”
Weiss then made a time-dilation glyph to increase her speed, and she went rocketing at Adam, and jabbed her rapier at his chest
Adam leaned back to avoid the jab, and slashed at Weiss hip, and she hopped up and spun in the air, and kicked Adams face before gravity could take control of Weiss
Adam stumbled backward, and before he knew it, Blake was charging at him
Adam raised his sword above his head and slashed downward at Blake, and she used her semblance to make a clone that pushed her to the side
She made the clone with perfect timing, and the clone turned into ice, and Adam’s sword got stuck in it
Blake then kicked at Adam’s cheek, and then slashed at his chest with Gambol Shroud, and the slash hit him hard enough to where he was forced to stumble backward again, his aura taking damage
Adam then pulled out his sword sheath that doubled as a gun, and fired at at Blake, forcing her to dodge
As she dodged it, Adam then charged and rammed her with his shoulder, causing her to fall backwards
Weiss then charged at Adam and slashed at him, channeling flame dust at the same time, throwing a wave of fire at Adam
Adam rolled and dodged the flame, and hit Weiss with his gun, causing her to stumble, Adam then rushed to his sword, grabbed, and pulled with all his might, dislodging it from the life-like ice statue of Blake.
He then turned around and and slashed at Weiss
Weiss parried Adam’s sword with her Myternaster, and then jabbed at him again.
Adam twisted his head to avoid her jab, and then slashed again at Weiss
Weiss formed a gravity glyph in her hand that pushed her backward, making Adam miss
Adam powered his sword with all the kinetic energy that he had gathered so far, and slashed, sending a small wave of red energy at Weiss
Weiss ducked, and stabbed her rapier into ground, and the ground in front of her turned into ice,a and Adam was forced to struggle to keep his balance
Weiss then channeled flame dust into her rapier again, and slashed, sending a thin wave of fire at Adam
The wave of flame hit Adam in the chest, sending him flying backward, and Blake, having recovered from Adam’s attack, jumped up, and did a mid-air roundhouse kick to his midsection, sending him into the ground.
Adam rolled back on his feet, and had to block Blake’s downward slash as she fell downward to Adam, but as he blocked it, a white and blue boarbatusk, summoned by Weiss, charged forward and rammed Adam in the chest, sending him flying backward again
Adam got up, and said, “Huh, looks like you guys have gotten a lot faster.”
Blake then said, “Well, we were trained by a powerful ninja.”
Weiss then said, “How about you? Have you been training, or slacking off like the lazy bull you are?”
Adam grew angry, and yelled as he slashed downward, sending a current of red energy towards them
Weiss and Blake prepared to defend themselves when Sasuke appeared in front of them, a purple rib cage formed around him
The current hit the ribcage, but didn’t even leave a scratch
Sasuke deactivated his Mangekyou, and switched to his regular Sharingan, and the purple rib cage dissipated
Sasuke then said, “Enough. Anymore of this and you will end up getting killed, Adam. Thanks to my training, together they are out of your league, and the chances of you beating them both at the same time is slim. Now, if you wish to live, leave now.”
Adam snarled at Sasuke, and said, “If you think that I’m going to run like my cowardly counterpart, you're wrong.”
Sasuke then said, “So be it. Your next opponent shall be me.”
Adam yelled as he charged at Sasuke, who simply waited and stood still
Adam then jumped up, and brought his blade down as hard as he could
Sasuke then channeled a substantial amount of chakra into his fist, and uppercutted Adam’s blade, and easily snapped it in half. He then followed up with a strong kick to his stomach, sending him flying backward
Adam got back up, but when he looked at his sword, disbelief etched across his face
“What? No,” Adam said in vain
Sasuke then said, “During your fight, I noticed that whenever your sword was struck, it would absorb the kinetic energy and store itself up in your sword, and when you were ready, you could unleash it for a powerful blow. Does that happen to your semblance?”
Adam balked at Sasuke in amazement, and asked, “Wha? How did you find out?”
Sasuke then said, “My eyes are much more different than yours.”
And Sasuke's face went serious, and he said, “So, you think that just because your acquaintance, Blake, left you, then you are emotionally scarred forever? Don’t make me laugh. I abandoned someone once, and they didn’t try to get revenge on me and kill me. He kept coming back to bring back out of the darkness that I had left them for. He fought to bring me back to the light, not try to make me suffer for the rest of my life like you. So, in parting, I want to tell you this. GET OVER YOURSELF!”
Adam growled, and began to raise his broken sword above his head when Sasuke moved forward faster than Adam could react
Sasuke had drawn out his Kusanagi, and stabbed his blade into Adam’s chest, easily breaking his aura
Adam looked down and saw the half of the sword disappear into his chest, and looked up at Sasuke in shock
Sasuke pulled out his Kusanagi, and Adam dropped his broken weapon, clutched his chest, and stumbled forward a few steps before falling over, dead.
Sasuke then gave a disgusted look, and muttered, “To even think that I wasted a Jutsu on him.”
Sasuke said, “You may not have been a good person, but I will at least give you a proper burial.”
He then using the first stage of his Susano, quickly scooped up chunks of earth, delicately put Adam’s body in it, and buried it again
Sasuke then deactivated his Mangekyou, and his eye turned back to obsidian black
Sasuke then told Blake and Weiss, “Always respect the dead.”
Sasuke then allowed himself a smile, and said, “You two have fought well, and it seems that in order to see your true limits, you will have to fight stronger opponents. You have my praise.”
Weiss turned to the side, blushing from Sasuke’s compliment, and Blake simply nodded
Itachi then walked to Sasuke and said, “And are these your only pupils?”
Sasuke shook his head
Itachi then asked, “What happened to your left eye?”
Sasuke told him about how he had lost his sight in his left eye because of how much he had overused his abilities back in Mistral. Sasuke also said that his sight in his right eye was also starting to deteriorate.
“It’s getting harder and harder to see things. It’s made me struggle against Deidara ever since he found me.”
Itachi nodded, and said, “Well then, maybe it’s time that you’ve had a new replacement.”
Sasuke nodded, and pulled off his black eyepatch, and looked at Weiss and Blake, and said, “If you don’t want to look, then turn around. To some, this can be disturbing.”
Weiss and Blake didn’t even have to ask what he meant, and quickly turned around
Sasuke then delicately and slowly grasped his blind eye, and slowly pulled it out, careful not to damage anything.
Itachi did the same to his left eye
They then gave each other the eyeballs, and slowly reinserted them into their sockets
Once they reinserted, the severed nerves then reconnected to the eyeballs, and repaired themselves
Sasuke blinked a few times, and then his sight came back
Everything he could see crystal clear with his left eye
Sasuke used the reflection of his blade to look at his left eye, and he activated his Mangekyou
It no longer only had just three ellipses, but the pattern was now a cross between his and Itachi’s Mangekyou
“The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan,” Sasuke said to himself
Sasuke looked at Itachi, and was disappointed when he saw that Itachi’s Mangekyou was still the same
Itachi then said, “The process would not give me an Eternal Mangekyou, simply because I am merely being given my own eyes back.”
Sasuke nodded
Weiss then said in a unsure voice, “Uh, Sasuke, we have a problem here.”
“What is it?” Sasuke said as he turned around to see a giant white bird land in front of them
Deidara hopped off and said, “Hello Sasuke.”
But when he saw Itachi, he said, “Itachi, what are you doing?”
Itachi then said, “What did you expect? Sasuke is my brother.”
Deidara then growled, “You joined that brat despite all that Salem has promised and given to you?”
Itachi then said, “Correct.”
Deidara then quickly formed a small bird and let it fly at Itachi and Sasuke
“Then die with your brother!” Deidara shouted
Sasuke then quickly formed the first stage of Susanoo, and smacked the bird away back towards Deidara, and he ended up blowing himself up.
Sasuke deactivated the Susanoo, and said to Itachi, “Itachi, get Weiss and Blake out of here.”
Weiss and Blake looked at each other, and Sasuke in disbelief
Itachi then asked, “Are you sure?”
Sasuke said, “Before I struggled against Deidara because I only had one eye, and it had somewhat impaired sight, but now I have both eyes back with even better vision. I also have a new tool.”
Weiss then begged, “No, please, we can take Deidara together!”
Sasuke then said, “No, you cannot beat Deidara. The last time he was caught off guard.”
Weiss then shouted, “No, I-I-I..I don’t want you to die!”
Sasuke then unexpectedly pokes Weiss’s head with his two fingers, just like how Itachi would, and reassures her, “Don’t worry. I will return to you, that's a promise.”
Weiss was taken aback by Sasuke’s gesture
Even Itachi and Blake did not see that one coming
Itachi smiled at Sasuke, and said, “You’ve changed.”
Sasuke replied, “Yes, I have. Now, you must hurry.”
Itachi nodded, and activated the first stage of his Susanoo, and using two skeletal arms, carried Weiss and Blake away
Sasuke then turned around to see where Deidara was
“Hey, up here!” Deidara shouted
Sasuke looked up, and saw Deidara hovering in the air above him
Deidara then said, “If you're done with your little soap opera, can we fight now?”
Sasuke then replied, “One second.”
Sasuke then crossed his fingers, and said, “Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!”
Sasuke had a clone gathering Sage Chakra somewhere in the forest long before Adam arrived, and so Sasuke summoned it to him
The clone appeared by Sasuke in a plume of smoke, and a orange pigmentation had appeared around its eyes, but what shocked Sasuke a little was that now it had a red cloak around it
Sasuke looked at himself, and saw that the red cloak had appeared out of nowhere around himself as well
Sasuke smiled
So this is what a real Sage Mode feels like
Sasuke turned to Deidara, and said, “Alright, let's go.”
Deidara formed two Ursa’s that jumped down and landed on the ground with a thump
One of them roared and charged at Sasuke, and swiped it’s claws at him
Sasuke easily caught the paw, tore off its arm, and smacked it with its own arm so hard that its head went flying off.
It seems that now his strength had greatly increased
The second Ursa charged at Sasuke, and Sasuke ran at it, jumped over it, and grabbed it’s head while in midair, landed on his feet on the ground behind the Ursa, and flung it into the air and at Deidara
Deidara’s bird dodged the flying clay Grimm, and Deidara yelped in surprise when he had seen Sasuke throw the Grimm so easily
Deidara gritted his teeth in frustration, and formed a Deathstalker that crawled towards Sasuke with surprising speed for such a giant Grimm
The Deathstalker had it’s barbed tail hovering over it’s head, ready to jab at Sasuke
Sasuke then quickly drew his Kusanagi, and channeled lighting-style chakra into it, and it extended, and slashed the heavy barb off, and if fell and impaled into the scorpions armored head
Sasuke then deactivated the Chidori True Spear, and jumped towards the Deathstalker, and Axe-kicked the barb further into it’s skull, and the scorpion faded away
Deidara saw that flinging Grimm at Sasuke was pointless, and flew higher into the air an rained down explosions on Sasuke
Sasuke then closed his eyes, and focused
He then opened them, and The Eternal Mangekyou and Mangekyou Sharingan glowed to life
A giant, purple, skeletal avatar that gave off a purple flaming aura formed around him, and protected him from Deidara’s explosions.
The skeleton then reached up and smacked Deidara out of the air, and he fell to the ground
Sasuke then quickly deactivated the Susanoo, and jumped towards Deidara
Sasuke then kicked Deidara in the face, and caused him to stumble back
Then he followed up with a rapid combo
A jab to Deidara’s right cheek, a hook to his stomach, a spinning roundhouse to his face that sent him spinning into the air, and then a strong jumping uppercut that sen Deidara into the air
Sasuke then took advantage of the waterfall that they were fighting next to, and quickly formed the hand signs
Sasuke then said, “Suiton: Suiryuudan! (Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!”
Suddenly, a serpentine dragon made of water came flying out of the waterfall, rose up into the air, and rocketed downwards, hitting Deidara and pummeling him into the ground
After Deidara had gotten drilled into the ground by the Suiryuudan, he was left laying down in a crater full of water
Sasuke made a Chidori, and put it in the pool of water that had formed around Deidara, and the electricity channeled through the water, and electrocuted Deidara
Sasuke then slammed his palm into the ground, and said, “Doryuheki! (Mud Wall Jutsu)”
The technique was meant for defensive purposes, but with Deidara this close to him, it would serve for another
A thick slab of earth shot up, with Deidara on top of it
The wall shot Deidara into the air, and Sasuke jumped up, and did a downward spin kick into his chest, and sent him flying back down towards the slab of earth, and Deidara hit the wall so hard that it had literally been crushed into pieces
Sasuke then breezed through multiple hand signs and said, “Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu)”
The giant fireball rocketed down and hit the ground where Deidara was, and exploded
Sasuke landed on the ground, and couldn’t see Deidara anywhere in the burning blaze
Sasuke took this as the time to go, and immediately he turned tail and dashed off to find Itachi and the others
///
Weiss paced back and forth
They were still in the forest, but further away from where the waterfall
Weiss couldn’t help but feel anxious, as if she could be doing something, but Sasuke was right. All they would be doing was be getting in the way between him and Deidara.
“Sasuke is coming,” Weiss heard Itachi say
She was glad that Itachi was here, and when she saw him, her first thought was that he was here to help them, since all Itachi had ever done was try to help Sasuke, even if it looked a bit….questionable sometimes.
Weiss saw Sasuke coming, and saw his red cloak and the black cloak he had underneath flowing behind him like a cape as he landed in front of him
“Sasuke!” Weiss said as she ran forward and embraced Sasuke, who half-embraced her with one arm in return
After she let go, Sasuke then said, “I taught Deidara a lesson, but he will somehow heal from it. We will need to find a way to get past his healing ability.”
Itachi then said, “During your previous fights, whether you know or not, you had actually been pushing his healing factor to its limits. He can grow back multiple limbs, and can survive all of his limbs being torn off, including his head, but if he is dismembered into too many pieces, the healing factor will fail. Also you could just totally obliterate him.”
Sasuke nodded at Itachi when suddenly his Sage Mode wore off, and the pigmentation around his eyes faded, the red cloak disappeared
Sasuke then said, “I won’t need Sage Mode then.”
Suddenly, they heard a loud flapping noise, and they looked up to see Deidara atop a Nevermore
Deidara’s Akatsuki cloak was gone, and his pants torn, and only the chainmail armor that most shinobi wore beneath covered his upper body, and even that looked dangerously battered and damaged
Deidara then said, “Did you think we were done yet?”
Sasuke then said, “This will be the last time you will bother us, Deidara.”
Deidara then said, “Well, you two, but what about the two female’s?”
Deidara then looked to Weiss, and said, “You got a little something on your back.”
“Huh?” Weiss said confused
What did he mean? Wait, was something on her back?
Blake looked at Weiss, and saw a small white bug on her back
Sasuke and Itachi saw it too, and was about to run towards Weiss
Blake then said, “Weiss, watch o-”
It was already too late
Deidara made a hand sign, and said, “Katsu!”
Weiss’s world went white
///
The explosion shot Blake, Itachi, and Sasuke backward
Sasuke got up and coughed out some dirt that got into his mouth, and looked towards the smoke that had already started to clear
He saw Weiss laying down in the middle of a small crater, her battle skirt torn and burnt in some places, her skin dirty with smoke and dirt
“WEISS!” Sasuke and Blake shouted
They rushed to her side, and Itachi, who had taken the worst of the explosion, had just gotten up, his healing factor removing any injuries he had taken
Blake then rolled Weiss onto her back
“WEISS! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!” Blake pleaded
Sasuke couldn’t believe it
One second Weiss was here, hugging him, and then the next…
Sasuke gritted his teeth, and raised his fist and punched the ground in frustration
“I sneaked it on her while you four were busy with your little reunion. I was aiming for Itachi, but hey, the Ice Queen is better than nothing!” Deidara said
Sasuke suddenly felt the hatred grab hold of him
Sasuke hated Deidara for killing Weiss
He hated Deidara for coming back
And lastly, Sasuke hated himself, for not being able to protect the ones that he had now formed this bond with
Sasuke let his hatred, his chakra, flare out. He let his hate consume him, and course through him
Sasuke then looked at Deidara, and shouted in rage, “DON’T YOU DARE CALL HER THAT!!”
Itachi then said, “No. The Curse of Hatred.”
Deidara expression suddenly changed to fear
Deidara’s Nevermore suddenly swept its wings at them, and a large volley of giant feathers, capable of easily impaling a person and killing them, went flying towards them.
Suddenly, as the feather volley was about to hit them, a invisible force suddenly sent them all flying back at Deidara, and having been caught off-guard, was impaled by three feathers before he fell off his Nevermore
The Nevermore, however, wasn’t as lucky
It was hit in many vital spots, and it crashed to the ground on top of Deidara, before vaporizing into thin air.
Sasuke then slowly walked forward towards Deidara
Deidara then saw Sasuke stalking towards him, and he started to stumble backwards
“No, no, stay away from me!” Deidara said
He then began to create a bird to try to escape, but only a little clay came out. He had run out of explosive clay
“Damn it!” Deidara said
Sasuke kept walking menacingly, murderous intent radiating from him
Deidara tripped over his feet and fell down
Deidara then said, “The Rinnegan. No, it can’t be.”
Sasuke then said, “I will kill you! Chibaku Tensei! (Planetary Devastation)”
Stone, and earth came out from the ground, and began crushing Deidara, and more and more kept coming and layering itself, and it kept growing and growing as it rose into the air
Suddenly, it stopped forming, and it blocked out the sun and put the forest they were in and probably part of Argus in a deep shadow
Sasuke’s hand then burst into electricity without him making any hand signs, but the electricity was a onyx-gray color
Rage and Fury fueled Sasuke as he jumped up and rocketed towards the very small moon in front of him
“Onyx Chidori!!”
Suddenly, the small moon exploded in a burst of Onyx colored Lightning
///
One second Ruby was in a ramen slurping contest with Yang and Nora
And then they felt that dark, suffocating aura, but something was different now. It was filled with hate, anger, and rage, and was even darker than before
Suddenly, Yang, Ruby, Nora, Ren, Oscar, Qrow, and Jaune all said at the same time, “Sasuke.”
Saffron and her wife, Tokka, came running down with their baby in their arms, and Saffron asked, “What is that!?”
They all ran outside, and they were shocked to see all of the residents out there, either standing there in confusion or fear, and children were crying or screaming
Suddenly, they saw a sphere of rock rise into the sky, and grow bigger, until it was like a small room that blocked out the sun and put half of Argus in a deep shadow
Then they saw a blur of black-gray colored electricity fly and disappear as it hit the small moon
Then they saw as the large hunk of earth exploded in a giant burst of gray-black lightning
“Was that Sasuke?!” Ruby asked
“If that was, then someone probably pissed him off really bad,” Yang said
Suddenly, they heard sirens sound, and a speaker go off
“Citizens of Argus, a strange yet dark aura has fallen over half of Argus, and the negative emotions have attracted a large body of Grimm. All citizens are to calmly proceed to the nearest safety zones and to keep calm..”
Ruby didn’t listen after that part, because she and her team could see from where they were a large cloud of griffin over the sea, battling with the Atlas aircraft. But what shook them even more was two of the most massive Leviathan’s that the world has ever seen
///
Sasuke felt a rush of satisfaction
Deidara was dead. And this time, he wouldn’t be coming back
Sasuke then rushed to the injured Weiss and Blake, and checked her over
Weiss’s eyes had begun to flutter open
“Ohh, my head doesn’t feel good,” Weiss groaned
Blake breathed a huge sigh of relief, then said, “Thank god, Weiss, are you alright?”
Sasuke then analyzed Weiss with his Sharingan, and said, “Her aura took most of the damage. She should live.”
Weiss then said, “Sasuke, your eye.”
Sasuke used his Kusanagi as a mirror, and looked at himself
His left eye was not longer obsidian black, but glowed purple, and had six tomoe
His Rinnegan
Sasuke stood up, and Itachi said, “Sasuke, you may want to look at this.”
Sasuke walked towards Itachi’s side, and they were back at the cliff where it empties out into the ocean
They saw two massive Leviathan’s attempting to tear through Argus’s shields
Sasuke then took on a serious expression, and said, “Itachi, I will need your right eye.”
///
Cordovin’s Colossus charged towards the Leviathans, but she was unsure whether she could take them or not. No one had ever seen Leviathan’s of that size, and much less two of them in one place
The Colossus punched one Leviathan across the face, then spun around and turned it’s hand into a drill, and thrusted at the second Leviathan
It opened its mouth and clamped down on it, and tore off it’s arm
Cordovin shouts in frustration, “Aw Crap!”
Then suddenly, the Leviathan behind her turns around and hits Cordovin’s Colossus with it’s tail so hard that the robot was sent flying
Cordovin grabbed onto a communicator and said, “This is Special Operative Cordovin, I am in bad shape, I need backup!”
Suddenly, both Leviathan’s both fired a beam of fire at the Colossus
Cordovin covered her eyes due to the brightness, and waited to explode to bits
The moment never came
She opened her eyes to see a giant, purple, winged avatar in front of her, holding a shield, having blocked the blasts of fire from obliterating her
…Thank god
///
Sasuke’s lowered his Susanoo’s shield, and looked at The Leviathan’s
They were both bulkier and taller than Sasuke’s Full Body Susanoo, but they were slow
Sasuke held back up the shield that doubled as a bow, and the susanoo cocked back three giant arrows made of purple chakra, and let them fly
The bigger of the Leviathans was hit by all three, one of the arrows hitting it’s eye, a second one in it’s chest, and the third in it’s midsection
The bigger Leviathan roared in pain, and the smaller Leviathan dived into the water and swam towards Sasuke
“Oh no you don’t,” Sasuke said
His Susanoo made a chidori, and hit the surface of the water with it, and it electrocuted the water in a 30 mile radius
The Leviathan in the water was electrocuted, and it resurfaced, and Sasuke’s Susanoo drew out a giant katana, and charged at the Leviathan faster than it could react
Sasuke slashed at its belly, chest, and legs, and the Leviathan roared in pain before it punched Sasuke’s Susanoo, forcing it to back up
The purple avatar than cocked back it’s elbow and slammed it’s fist up into the Leviathan’s chin, and backward then up into the sky, and charged at the Leviathan
The Leviathan opened its mouth, and let out a blast of fire, and the purple giant put it’s shield in front of itself, and blocked the flames, and then slashed its head off as it flew by and landed in the water behind it
The purple avatar then looked at the bigger Leviathan, which had managed to pull the arrow out of its eye.
It gave the purple titan a furious glare, and let out a mighty blast of fire
Sasuke made a few hand signs, and then shouted, “Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu(Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu)”
However, it was not Sasuke who fired the fireball, but it was the Susanoo that fired it
A giant fireball shot forth, and there was nothing that the Leviathan’s blast of fire could do to stop it
The fireball overcomed the Leviathan, and exploded as it made a direct hit
Once the smoke cleared, they could see where the Leviathan once was, was nothing but it’s burnt fragments that had started to vaporize away
The people of Argus cheered at the sudden extermination of the two Leviathans, and even louder, they cheered on the purple avatar that had saved Argus
They were all left in confusion as it suddenly faded away
There. It is done. I have answered your prayers for these battles, and here I have given it to you. I hope you enjoyed it, because there is gonna be some exciting stuff coming up in the next chapter.
Chapter 17
“The events from yesterday’s Grimm attack were what investigators would call, ‘very rare and very confusing.’ Citizens from over half of Argus claim to have felt a dark aura. If what they claim to have happened is true, then investigators say that it must be what triggered the grimm invasion yesterday. However, what is still boggling people’s minds is the giant sphere of rock that rose into the sky before the grimm attack, and the purple titan that citizens are starting to call, “The Violet Avatar.” Could this titan have to do with the miniature moon that appeared? Or are they both separate entities? That is what the public wants to find out.”
Qrow picked up the TV and flipped it off, then settled back on his chair
Saffron, Tokka, Team RWBY and JNR, Oscar, and Qrow sate in the living room
Everyone eyed Sasuke and Itachi
Qrow then asked, “All right, since no one else wants to say it, I’ll be the one to spill the pot. What the hell happened out there?”
Sasuke sighed, and Itachi simply gave a wary eye to the strangers before him
Sasuke then said, “It was all me. The moon, the dark emotions, and the Susanoo. It was all me.”
Oscar then said, “Well, we already knew that, but what happened?”
Sasuke replied, “I had taken Weiss and Blake training. We were attacked by Adam, and then we took care of him.”
“Thank goodness for that,” Yang said
Sasuke continued, “However, if it was not for my brother Itachi, I possibly would have come back more bruised and battered.”
Nora then made big eyes and said, “Wait, he’s your brother!”
Sasuke nodded
Itachi, already seeing what was about to happen to him through Nora, used chakra to turn himself invisible so that way he wouldn’t get badgered
Everyone looked in awe, shock, and amazement
Sasuke then said, “However, Deidara attacked again.”
Everyone’s face grew serious
Sasuke had told Team JNR and Saffron and Tokka about Deidara
“Me and him fought, but he set a trap while we weren’t looking,” Sasuke said
Ruby then asked, “Then what were the dark emotions for?”
Blake then answered, “Weiss was the one who got caught in the trap.”
Everyone then understood
Sasuke then told them about the rest and whatnot
Ruby then asked, “Wait, if you created the moon, then does that mean….”
Sasuke pulled off the eyepatch that covered his left eye, and his Rinnegan glowed in all its glory
“Ooooh, can I touch it?” Nora asked
“No,” Sasuke replied blatantly
Ren then asked, “So now that you have a new tool of power, does that mean that our chances of Salem being defeated have been increased?”
Sasuke then said, “Yes.”
Sasuke then put back on the eyepatch
Sasuke then stood up and said, “Cordovin will have our ship ready by midnight. So I’m going to get in a little training with you all. I want you all ready within 15 minutes and waiting at the front door.”
Sasuke left, and Itachi with him, and once Itachi was out of sight, he let down the camouflage, and said, “So, a Rinnegan? It suits you.”
Sasuke then replied, “Itachi, I’m going to need your help training them. Would by any chance-”
Itachi interrupted him, “Yes, I’ll assist you.”
Sasuke nodded, and they walked out the front door
///
Weiss started to wonder
Sasuke got the Rinnegan because of her? Then did that mean that he had….bonded with her?
Weiss for some reason thought it was ridiculous
Sasuke and Itachi had been walking Team RWBY, Oscar, JNR, and Qrow out of the city and into the forest for about an hour already. I had never taken them that far.
Sasuke stopped, then said, “Now, Itachi will be training you all right now, I will be a bit busy with something else. Now, if Team RWBY and Team JNR mind handing me their weapons, Then you may proceed to Itachi.”
Weiss looked at Yang, who gave her a confused look
Yang handed Sasuke her lone Ember Celica, but instead of grabbing it with his hands, it simply levitated in the air next to him
Soon, Team JNR had handed in their weapons, and Crescent Rose, Gambol Shroud, and Myternaster had been handed over as well.
Sasuke nodded in appreciation, and then nodded to Itachi
///
A hour and a half later
Sasuke had examined each and every weapon carefully and quickly. He now knew each and every weapons use, tools, and abilities
Sasuke was going to give them a few upgrades
If what Itachi said was true, then Sasuke would need all the help he could get, and his comrades all the power-ups they could.
And thanks to the Asura path, he could then modify their weapons
Sasuke just hoped that it would work
///
Itachi went into a fighting stance
Ren, Yang, and Oscar stood a 20 yards away in a attack stance
The rest stood at the side, watching them intently
Itachi activated his Sharingan, then said, “Come.”
The three sprung into action
Ren held out his hand, and Yang grabbed it, spun him around, and threw him at Sasuke, and Ren went into a flying kick stance
Itachi ducked the attack, and twisted his head to the right to dodge the jab that Oscar threw at him
Itachi spun around and did a karate-chop to Oscar’s side, then followed up with a quick left kick to Osca’s side that sent him to the ground
Yang then slides forward and try to sweep Itachi’s legs out from underneath him
Itachi hopped over her leg, and with one foot, landed on her head and used it as a launch pad and jumped off it
Ren then charged at Itachi and jumped up and did a sweeping kick that almost caught Itachi
Itachi dodged the attack, and feinted left to dodge Ren’s left palm strike
Itachi grabbed Ren’s wrist, swung him around and threw him at Oscar, who caught him, who was knocked over by Ren’s weight
Yang then quickly threw three quick jabs, each one aiming at Itachi’s face, and Itachi easily bobbed and weaved around each and every attack
Itachi then punched Yang in the face hard
Yang was left spinning, but managed to keep on her feet
Itachi then followed up with a roundhouse kick to Yang’s back and sent her flying backward
Ren flipped back up and went into a defensive stance
Itachi dashed forward, and threw a jab at Ren, but Ren managed to catch the punch with his hand,and then Ren then threw back a punch of his own, only for Itachi to catch it.
Itachi then looked to his side, and saw Oscar jump forward and grab him and attempt to keep him in place
Itachi then saw behind Ren, Yang charging towards them
“So, they are trying to keep me in place so Yang could get a hit in. Clever, but not gonna work. Let’s end this,” Itachi thought
Itachi then flung Ren over his back, and kicked Oscar off
Yang jumped forward, and using her Semblance, channeled all of the energy that she had gathered and put it in her fist for one powerful strike
Yang’s hair suddenly erupted in golden flame, and her eyes turned red
It reminded Itachi of another certain someone
Itachi ducked and grabbed her wrist with one hand, and redirected her punch to where it hit the ground, and it sent a shockwave of force and wind out in every direction
The ground where Yang’s fist hit left a large spider web of cracks
Itachi then elbowed her stomach hard, knocking the air out of her, then did a strong, open-palm strike to her chest that sent her flying backward and skidding across the ground, her aura shattering
Oscar and Ren charged at Itachi from behind, and Itachi, moving faster than they could react, dashed forward, grabbed both of them by the neck, and smashed them into the ground, and their aura shattered
Itachi then helped them up, and said, “You all are skilled, but still need work if you want to beat me in a match of Taijutsu.”
Yang then groaned, “Yeah, easy for you to say, you're a ninja, and have waaaay more experience than us.”
Itachi nodded, and said, “That is true, but still.”
They had been training for a few hours now
Itachi began to wonder what was taking Sasuke so long
Then, as if right on que, Sasuke reappeared, everyone’s weapons levitating around him
Sasuke then said, “Would everyone please give me your full, undivided attention.”
Almost immediately, everyone lined up in a line, and looked expectantly at Sasuke
Sasuke then said, “If you are wondering why I took your weapons, do not worry, your answer will come in a few moments. However, I have some grave news to share with you. Salem has risen one of my most powerful enemies, Madara Uchiha. And if he has what Itachi says he has, then I won’t even be able to beat him even with the power I have now. And so, I will need your help.”
Sasuke then handed everyone's weapons back to them, and said, “I will need all the help I can get when the time arrives for when we meet Madara. However, Salem will surely be bringing with her even stronger Grimm, and so you will need to become stronger. I have, well, upgrade your weapons, to give you an instant boost.”
Then he walked to Yang, and said, “Yang, activate your gauntlet.”
Yang did, but once the gauntlet appeared, yellow armor began to form and cover Yang’s entire arm. It wasn’t very bulky, and only made Yang’s arm look slightly bigger, and was very flexible and didn’t weigh Yang down at all
Sasuke then said, “Your new armor will allow you to block attacks that would have easily snapped your robotic arm in half, and it will absorb all the kinetic energy and add it to all the stored energy that you have. You can then channel it into your arm for a strong attack, and, when you do, the armor will multiply the amount of energy not twice, not three times, but 10 times. However, you can adjust the setting for it to multiply it as many times as you want. You can have it multiply its power by only twice, or by 9 or 10 times, or not have it multiply it at all. You can also channel any of your stored energy into it and have the armor convert it into aura, which can be useful if your aura reserves are starting to get low. You can also pass on the aura to your comrades. That armor also has a stock of various dust that you can use for a long time, because even though it’s small, it has a large amount of dust. You can coat the armor in fire or electricity, or cover it in rock to increase your defense. And all you have to do to have it do any of these features is will it to.”
Yang looked in awe at her armored arm, and focused
Suddenly, the arm erupted in fire, then stone, then electricity, then back to normal
Sasuke then gave Weiss her Myrtenaster, “Before, your sword did not have much cutting power, but now you can switch between a blade, and a rapier. I have upgraded it to where you have a large amount of dust rounds, and you can extend your rapier blade to have a longer reach. You can now channel dust into your blade for even stronger attacks.”
Weiss held up her Myrtenaster, and focused, and it became a blade like Sasuke’s, then she turned it back into a rapier, then she engulfed it in electricity. She then extended it, and it went up to 5 meters long. In a way, it looked a lot like Sasuke’s Chidori True Spear.
Sasuke also added, “Now stab the ground, and freeze the ground in front of you.”
Weiss shrunk the sword back to normal size, then stabbed the ground, and the ground froze
Sasuke then told her to change the frozen ground to water, and when she obeyed, it did, and Sauske then said to channel electricity into her sword, and when she did, if anyone was standing in the water, they would have been electrocuted
Sasuke then said, “These features give both excellent stabbing and slashing power.”
Sasuke then announced, “Each of your weapons special features can be activated just by you willing it to do that specific feature, and the special features will only respond to you, and only to you unless you give permission to someone else to use its special features.”
Sasuke then gave Blake her Gambol Shroud, and said, “Your sword also doubles as a knife and a gun, so I added a few features. The rope that you use can now extend to three times its length, and has a small part in it that houses aa large amount of various dust that you can channel into your sword, rope, and your gun. Using these features, you could wrap your rope around someone and channel electricity dust into your rope, and it will electrocute them, or fire off a barrage of bullets channeled with fire dust. Your dust can also be used with your semblance, allowing you to create clones of ice, earth, fire, water, electricity, whatever you want.”
Sasuke then gave Ruby Crescent Rose, and said, “Just like the others, it has a large amount of dust, and you can channel them into your scythe or sniper for elemental attacks. I also modified your weapon to where the blade of the scythe cna detach, and a chain will keep it connected to the handle, and the chain can extend to give you a longer weapon range.”
Ruby focused, and the blade of her Scythe popped off, and hung suspended in midair by a red, light but very strong chain that was connected to the handle.
Sasuke then said, “You can channel dust into the chain, and it will channel into the blade.”
Their teacher then walked to Jaune, and gave him his sword and shield, “Jaune, you are the least skilled at the moment, so I gave your weapons the ability to attack from a distance. Whenever your shield is struck, it will absorb the kinetic energy, and if you want, you can throw that stored energy back, and your shield will let out a strong burst of force. You could also use that stored energy and convert it into aura, and add it to your already large pool. The stored energy can also be channeled into your sword, and when you are ready, you can unleash it. You can also envelope your blade with fire or electric dust.”
Sasuke then told Jaune to hold up his shield in a defensive stance, and Sasuke punched it very hard, and Jauen stumbled back from the force of the punch.
Sasuke then told him, “Now use your shield to turn your blade into its stronger version.”
Jaune nodded, and his shield turned back into a sheath, and he sheathed the blade, then the sheath then sharpened at the side’s and tip, making Jaune’s blade somewhat heavier, but now able to cut through stronger material
“Now at the same time, channel electricity into your sword, and let out the stored energy,” Sasuke instructed
Jaune nodded, and his blade was engulfed in fire, then yelling with effort, he slashed, and a shockwave enveloped in fire was emitted as he slashed his blade
Jaune then said, “It still has some left.”
Sasuke then said, “You can do the same thing without elemental features. It will make it much harder to anticipate. You can also point an daim with the tip of your blade to fire a thin stream for a more quicker attack.”
Sasuke then handed Nora her Hammer, and said, “Your semblance is the ability to increase your strength by absorbing electricity. Your hammer has a large amount of various dust, and you can channel fire into your hammer to give a more powerful, burning hit. However, you can channel the dust electricity into your hammer, and then absorb the electricity to become stronger, or convert the amount of electricity that you have absorbed into aura by channeling it into your hammer, then taking it back. You can also use the large dust reserves for your launcher.”
“Really? AWESOME!!” Nora said estactically
Lastly, Sasuke went to Ren, and said, “Lie Ren, your weapons are meant for quick, fast strikes, but must have to hit your target a certain amount of times in order to do a lot of damage. Therefore, I have given it a large amount of dust that will allow you to channel electricity or fire into your blades, and into your bullets. Also, when you fire ice bullets, they will burst in a small explosion of ice, and anything within range will be coated in ice.”
Sasuke then said to Ren, “Anata wa kyōdaina senshi, rī rensandesu (You are a mighty warrior, Lie Ren-san)”
Ren, understanding the japanese compliment, nodded
Sasuke then looked at Oscar, and said, “Your cane, please.”
Oscar handed it over, and Sasuke focused and closed his eyes
Suddenly, the group looked in amazement as they saw chakra start to channel into the cane
Sasuke opened his eyes, and handed it to Oscar, “I have given you the ability to use chakra through your cane. It won’t be as powerful if you naturally had chakra, but this is the best I can do for you. It is up to you to find out its features. Me and Itachi will assist you if you ever are in need.
Sasuke then said to his students, “You have all taken training with enthusiasm and with heart. But if we are to ever succeed in defeating Madara and Salem, then you must become even stronger. We are humanity’s last hope, and we cannot afford to fail. Despite every hardship and every beast that is thrown at us, we will prevail. Many sacrifices will be made, and many perils will be faced. However, in the end, we will prevail. We shall revive this burning light called hope, and we shall call forward our enemies and bring about the Death of Darkness.”
Phew. That took a lot of brain power. If you're wondering how Sasuke was about to put large amounts of dust into their weapons, I’m just gonna say two things. The Asura Path, and Chakra. Oh, also BTW, please send feedback about the story and how you think it is going so far.
Chapter 18
Hey, so for some reason, I think that some of you don’t know what Sasuke’s Onyx Chidori is, but if you don’t then I’m just gonna say that it is an actual ninjutsu that he uses. If you don’t remember it, then just google it. Also, after Friday, I won’t be updating a lot anymore, at least not until August, and even then I probably won’t be able to update as fast. It’s usually in June when I take vacations. However, there is still a small chance that I might update, just putting that out there. Just saying, anyway, Enjoy!
Weiss took a deep breath in, then a deep breath out. She then looked to her window as she watched the large, white, fluffy-like clouds pass by
They were three hours into their flight, and it was about 3 o’clock in the morning.
Weiss walked to the cockpit and asked, “How much longer?”
“About 6 more minutes, Miss Schnee,” The pilot replied
Weiss sat back down. She was nervous
She was going back to Atlas. What if her father found her? What would he do to her then? Make her come home?
Weiss shook her head
Her friends would never let her go back to that half-a-man con-artist.
But what about Winter? What would she think? What would she think of Sasuke or Itachi? What would she think of her sneaking away from home?
Weiss was about to find out.
Suddenly, Qrow then said, “What the hell?”
Everyone looked outside, and they saw battalions of soldiers, and large fleets of warships and aircraft flying around Mantle and Atlas
“Jeez, it looks like as if their preparing for a war,” Yang said
///
Ruby’s teeth chattered as they landed down in Atlas’s academy
“Jeez, it’s colder than I thought!” Ruby said
Maria had left somewhere to get her robotic eyes checked on
She looked at Sasuke and Itachi, who both seemed unaffected by the weather
How the heck do they do that?!
Suddenly five people in red, white, and blue uniforms came up and their leader said, “Hello, we are the Ace Ops, and we are here to escort you to General Ironwood.”
Ruby then asked as they walked inside where it was warmer, “Ace Ops?”
One of the Ace Operatives, a woman named Hare, said, “We are the elite huntsmen of General Ironwood. However, if he wanted to see you, then does that mean that you guys are important or powerful?”
Itachi then answered, “I would say more of the latter, but yes, we are also important.”
Hare then asked, “How powerful?”
Suddenly another one of the members said, “Remember Hare, everything is not a competition.”
Hare frowned
Itachi answered, “I’ll just say powerful. However, the greatest of us would be my younger brother.”
Itachi gestured to Sasuke, who simply gave him a ‘what are you doing?’ face
Ruby then looked ahead, and saw Ironwoods come out of a side corridor and walk ahead of them
Ruby also saw a orange-haired girl on one side of him, and Winter on the other side
Ruby then waved up her hands and shouted, “General Ironwood! Yoo-hoo!”
General Ironwood turned around, and he had grown a….beard. He looked like he had been having a rough time.
Ironwood's face lit up, and he walked towards them and said, “Miss Rose! It’s good to see you!”
Ironwood then gestured to Qrow and said, “It’s good to see you too, Qrow.”
Ironwood then said to the Ace Ops, “You may go now.”
They nodded and walked away
Ruby then saw the orange-haired girl
No. It can’t be.
“Penny?” Ruby asked in confusion
“Ruby!” Penny shouted in excitement
Suddenly, Penny caught Ruby in a crushing bear hug
“Ack!” Ruby yelped
“Ruby! I’m so glad that you are here!” Penny said in excitement, “I missed you so much!”
Once Penny put Ruby down, the two started chatting excitedly
Ironwood then said, “If your wondering how she’s here, lets just say that she was repaired, and better for the most part.”
Penny then said, “Yup, I’m even more battle-ready!”
Weiss then walked up to Winter, and said, “Hello.”
“Hello Weiss, I see that you have sneaked out of father’s grasp,” Winter said
Weiss nodded, “I couldn’t stay there. I had to get out.”
Winter then said, “You made the right decision.”
As they reached Ironwood's office, Qrow then said, “James, we’ve got something to talk to you about that's a little confidential.”
Ironwood looked to his right at Winter, then to his left at Penny, then at Qrow and smiled, and said, “They already know.”
Qrow then asked, “You told them!?”
“Yes, and the Ace Ops as well,” Ironwood said, “you aren’t the only one that brought together a crew after Beacon.”
Qrow nodded, and said, “I can see that.”
Ironwood then said, “Do you happen to have brought any relics with you?”
Sasuke reached under his black cloak and pulled out the lamp, and said, “The relic of knowledge.”
Ironwood’s eyes lit up, and said, “Thank goodness. Now that's two relics out of Salem’s grasp.”
Itachi then asked, “Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this academy the one that houses the relic of creation?”
Ironwood nodded, and replied, “Yes, it is.”
Then he paused, and he said, “I also have a plan to defeat Salem.”
Sasuke raised an eyebrow
Ironwood then stated, “Ozpin had tried to defeat Salem from the shadows, but now I am coming up with something else.”
Ironwood then pressed a button on his table, and metal sheeting began to cover the windows, and once that was done, a holographic picture of Amity Colosseum appeared at a table in the center of the room
“Is that-” Ren started
“Amity Colosseum,” Ironwood confirmed, “We managed to get it back during Beacon’s invasion. What I plan to do is to build a large antenna that will restore global communications. And then I shall tell the whole world about Salem.”
“But there will be panic! And lots of Grimm Invasions!” Jaune exclaimed
Winter then said, “We will tell the people of Atlas and Mantle first, and once the panic has been dealt with, we will then tell the world, and we shall then provide assistance to anyone who needs it.”
“Well, that explains the huge army that you have on your doorstep,” Qrow said
Sasuke then said, “The panic may be something hard to deal with, but if you succeed, we may just have a large army to throw back at Salem. And if the ally that she has resurrected is who I believe it is, then we will need all the help we can get.”
Ironwood then said, “Ally?”
Sasuke then stepped forward, “I and Itachi are from another world, Ironwood.”
Ironwood looked at them skeptically, and said, “Prove it.”
Sasuke and Itachi both let their Mangekyou’s glow, and the ribcage of both their Susano’s covered them.
Ironwood then looked at Sasuke’s and said, “Wait, that looks familiar.”
Sasuke and Itachi deactivated their Mangekyou, and Sasuke then said, “No one in this room says anything about this, but I am the one who controlled the Violet Avatar in Argus. I am the one who created that moon and destroyed it.”
Winter then said, “That's impossible.”
Sasuke then made a few hand signs, and his hand burst into the blue electricity of the chidori
“And I believe that this is not made from aura,” Sasuke said
Penny’s scanners could see that the energy enveloping Sasuke’s hand was created with a energy that flowed through his body, and was identical to aura, but was different
Sasuke then let the Chidori snuff out
“That could just be your Semblance,” Winter replied
Sasuke sighed, and using the Animal Path of his Rinnegan, he summoned a large hawk, the same one he used from his world back in the 4th Great Shinobi War
“And I believe that this is my semblance as well,” Sasuke said in a mocking tone
“That’s…impossible,” Winter said in disbelief
Weiss then said, “He’s telling the truth, Winter.”
Yang then said, “Apparently Salem resurrected three others from his world.”
Ironwood then asked, “And where are they?”
Itachi then said, “One is dead, courtesy of Sasuke, and the third one is with Salem.”
“And the second?” Penny asked
“I am the second,” Itachi said
Suddenly, as if on instinct, Winter drew her sword, and three blades came out of Penny’s back and floated behind her, ready to strike
“Whoa, whoa, whoa! Calm down, he’s on our side,” Oscar said
Ironwood then said, “And how do we know that you're not spying for Salem.”
Sasuke then protected Itachi, “He isn’t. He is my brother, and if he wanted to spy for Salem, then the first wise thing to do is to kill me. And he had the chance to, but he didn’t, so I trust him.”
Itachi then said, “However, you shouldn’t be focused on me. It’s the third one that you should be worried about.”
Ironwood then asked, “And why is that?”
Sasuke then said, “His name is Madara. And in my world, he was one of the most powerful threats in our world, so powerful that not even five great nations could defeat him in a head on battle.”
“Wait, what!?” Winter said in confusion, “He’s that powerful!?”
Sasuke then said, “Yes, however, I won’t be able to defeat him unless his most powerful tool is taken from him.”
“And what is that?” Penny asked
Sasuke then slipped off his black eyepatch, and his Rinnegan glowed
Sasuke then let them look for a second before putting his eyepatch back on and saying, “My left eye is called a Rinnegan. Madara has the same as well. If I can disable his eye, then we have a chance to defeat him.”
Qrow then said, “What the kid is basically sayin is that he likes your plan, James. We’re going to need an army if we’re gonna stand a chance at taking down Salem’s little purple eyed lapdog.”
Sasuke then said, “We will also need to gather all the relics, so that way we leave them with no choice but to come here, where we could trap them.”
Ironwood then said, “What kind of trap?”
Sasuke shrugged
Ironwood then said, “So, now that we have somewhat of a plan, before I start, I would like to know if any of you want to help.”
Ruby then asked, “I will.”
Suddenly, everyone agreed that they would help Ironwood
Ironwood then said, “thank you.”
Qrow then also said, “There is also something else.”
Ironwood looked at Qrow, who then continued, “You see, the kid right here is apparently the next Ozpin.”
Qrow then gestured to Oscar
“Ozpin? Ozpin! It’s good to see you again!” Ironwood said as he started to walk towards Oscar to hug him
Oscar then said, “He’s not here at the moment. There was a train crash, and ever since then he’s just been, well, gone.”
Ironwood then said, “How unfortunate.”
Ironwood then said, “That is all for now, you may go. Winter, you have permission to do what you please for today.”
Winter nodded
Sasuke then looked at Ironwood then left
///
It was late morning
Ruby sat in her dorm, her team with her as well. Weiss wasn’t, however, she was with Winte somewhere
They all were keeping themselves occupied, when they heard someone knock
“Come in,” Ruby said
Oscar poked his head in and said, “Has anyone seen Sasuke?”
Team RBY all shook their heads, and once Oscar left, Blake then asked, “Hey, is it just me, or has all Sasuke been doing in the past days is training?”
Yang nodded, and said, “Yep. It’s almost as if he considers everyday as if he is at boot camp.”
Ruby then says, “Does he even take days off?”
Everyone thinked hard, and then Yang said, “Now that I think about it, all he mostly did while we were at Argus was go into the forest somewhere and train.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Ruby said, “Maybe we should go check on him.”
///
Winter asked Sasuke, “Are you sure? Not even the Ace Ops attempted anything like this.”
Sasuke then said, “Do it.”
Sasuke, Itachi, Winter, and Weiss were in front of a door that lead into a elite combat simulation room, and Sasuke asked for the hardest and highest level that could be achieved
Winter just shrugged, and said, “Just remember that you said so.”
Itachi then gave a small chuckle, and said, “Oh, you’d be surprised.”
Sasuke entered the simulation room, and the three immediately went into a observation room where they could see Sasuke
His setting was a forest, and in daylight as well.
Sasuke uncovered his Rinnegan, and his right eye turned into the Sharingan, and he said, “Begin.”
15 minutes later
Winter was left in utter shock
Sasuke had annihilated an entire army of Grimm by himself
He set them on fire with large fireballs, and black flames, and turned into a giant purple titan and easily tore apart Nevermores, and stomped Deathstalkers flat
Sasuke sat on top of a fallen log, and he looked around him and the utter destruciton that he caused
Winter then said, “God, this guy’s a monster.”
Suddenly, a thought came to her
“If he’s this powerful, then what is this Madara like?”
Winter shuddered at the thought
Itachi stood emotionless, but on the inside, he felt like smiling
“Sasuke, you have far surpassed my expectation.”
Weiss however, was in the same condition as her sister
“Sasuke….I…,”
///
Sasuke could see that he was now back at full power
However, if he was ever going to stand a chance against Madara, he was going to come up with stronger techniques
Sasuke summoned a shadow clone that he had made once they came to Atlas to practice his Senjutsu and gather Nature energy
Sasuke could feel the power of his sage mode begin to take hold, then he took a deep breath, before saying, “Let’s do this.”
///
Weiss and WInter had left about 10 minutes after they watched Sasuke slay the Grimm army, and Itachi had left a shadow clone to watch Sasuke’s progress as he left as well
Itachi had went with Winter and Weiss, mainly so they could show him to his dorm. He hadn’t seen it yet.
Winter then said, “You’re brother is very powerful. I never seen anything like that.”
Itachi then said, “He had many mentors, and many things that motivated him to become that powerful.”
Orouchimaru was one, and so was Itachi.
Winter then asked, “Did you train him?”
Itachi replied, “No, it was simply something I did that motivated him to surpass me.”
Winter nodded, before letting the silence return
///
Sasuke let out a breath
It had been about an hour, and he ha finally created a new technique using his Senjutsu chakra
Now it was time to test it
Sasuke then crossed his fingers, and said, “Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! (Shadow Clone Jutsu)”
4 shadow clones appeared behind him, and then they all jumped high into the air, and they all made multiple hand signs, however, they all were needed to complete Sasuke’s new jutsu
Sasuke and the shadow clones finished their hand signs at the same time, and Sasuke then said, “Senpou: Kyodaina Hinotama no Danmaku (Sage Art: Colossal Fireball Barrage)”
Suddenly, 5 colossal fireballs blazed forth, each one about three times the size of Sasuke’s regular fireball jutsu
The simulation had put Sasuke in a large forest setting, but Sasuke’s fire jutsu exploded in a gigantic burst of flames, smoke, and earth, and he had demolished the entire forest that was in front of him in one attack
Sasuke and his 4 clones dropped down
Sasuke then breathed a sigh of relief
It worked
He had done it
Sasuke then began to wonder what other kinds of jutsu he could do with Senjutsu chakra
Could he develop even more new powerful jutsu?
///
Ruby found Itachi in a observation room that looked down into some simulation training room
“Whats happening?” Ruby asked
Itachi replied, “Come and see.”
Yang and Blake were also with Ruby, and they came in and looked through the window
They saw Sasuke with 4 clones behind them, and it looked like they were getting ready for something
Blake then asked, “How long has he been there?”
Itachi then counted on his fingers before saying, “About 2 hours and 15 minutes.”
Yang raised an eyebrow, and said, “Doing what?”
Itachi looked back at the window and said, “Creating new attacks. I assume they are for Madara.”
Blake and Yang looked through the window, and they saw Sasuke and his 4 clones start to move
Meanwhile, inside the simulation, Sasuke had then created a new defensive jutsu that would greatly enhance the Doryheki (Mud Wall Jutsu)
Sasuke and his 4 clones then lined up in a line, and they all hit the palm of their hands to the ground, and said, “Senpou: Kyūkyoku Doryheki Bōei (Sage Art: Ultimate Mud Wall Defense)”
Suddenly, a gigantic wall of earth that was 10 meters thick and about 10 stories high
The wall had stayed up for 1 minute before falling back into the earth
He had done it again
Sasuke smiled, but then felt his Sage mode wore off, and then he turned to his shadow clones and had then disperse
During the time he was training in here, he had to both create the new jutsu and refill his Senjutsu chakra so that way his Sage Mode didn’t wore off
However, he would master these techniques later
Sasuke exited the simulation room, only to be met by Itachi and 3 of his students
Yang then said, “Seriously? Training again? Don’t you think that you need to sometimes take a day off or something?”
Sasuke simply gave her a blatant stare
Ruby then said, “Come on, we know you aren’t that social, but could you maybe, well, live a little more? You know, get out and hang out?”
Blake then said, “Life isn’t just about power you know? You have something besides becoming more powerful.”
Sasuek then replied, “I didn’t know that you had a right to question what I do with my time.”
Yang then said, “Just sayin.”
Itachi then said, “I’m just a shadow clone, the real Itachi is somewhere with Oscar.”
Sasuke then asked, “And why must we know?”
Itachi then started to say, “Because I’m abo-”
Then is burst in a plume of smoke, and disappeared
The four stood in silence before Sasuke said, “Oh, thats why.”
///
Itachi watched as he could see with his Sharingan that Oscar began to channel Fire style chakra into his cane
They were in a lone part of Atlas that gave them some privacy
Oscar seemed to be limited to only Fire and Wind style jutsu
Oscar then raised the cane and yelled with effort as he shot forth a fireball that was about half the size of Sasuke’s regular fireball jutsu
It exploded as it hit the spot where Itachi had set up some makeshift targets for Oscar
“Good, but still needs improvement,” Itachi said
9 out of the 10 targets still stood, and Oscar’s cane did have a chakra limit, although when it did run out of chakra, it would slowly replenish over time
Itachi then said, “Try using a wind jutsu to knock away multiple targets at once instead of using multiple fire jutsu to take out one target at a time, all that will do is drain your cane’s chakra supply.”
Itachi then showed him the Fūton: Kamaitachi (Wind Style: Wind Scythe)
Once Oscar understood, he channeled wind style chakra into his cane, and swung, and a powerful, strong blade of wind went forward, and Oscar’s aim was true, because it hit all 9 targets at once
Itachi then said, “Impressive.”
Oscar then stood up, and said, “Can we take a break?”
Itachi nodded
Suddenly, they saw the one of the Ace Ops teammates, the women named Hare, walk towards them
“What are you doing?” Hare asked
“Getting Oscar familiar with his cane’s properties,” Itachi said
“So, training him,” Hare said
Itachi nodded
Hare then said, “Ironwood said that tomorrow we will start the first procedures for Amity. He told me to tell you and your team.”
Itachi nodded again
BTW, they are gonna get their volume 7 outfits in the next chapter, same for the volume 7 upgrades as well. However, their volume 7 upgrades will not end up messing up their upgrades given to them by Sasuke, if you’re wondering. Also, I might change Itachi’s and Sasuke’s outfits, but still not sure yet
Chapter 19
Hey guys, just here to warn you that Friday is almost here, so read this and enjoy it as much as you can. Also, BTW, I’m gonna end this one a little short, just so you know. Anyway, Enjoy!
Sasuke found himself in a rather….odd situation
Ruby and Yang practically forced him to take a day off, and here he was now, at a table on a balcony that looked over Atlas, and Winter, Weiss, Itachi, team JNR, and Oscar were there as well
Ruby and Yang threatened to annoy him for an entre week if he didn’t take time off, and they would get Nora to help them as well, and that was a hell that Sasuke did not want to contend with.
So now here they were, having a dinner on a balcony while the orange sun set over the horizon
Winter handed a wine glass to Itachi and held up a bottle, and asked, “Champagne?”
Itachi then asked, “What’s Champagne?”
Winter then answered, “It’s a type of drink that is meant only for grown people.”
Itachi nodded, then poured himself some Champagne, and took a sip
Winter looked at Itachi expectantly
Itachi then said, “It’s like Sake, but even better.”
Weiss rolled her eyes and Winter smiled
Sasuke thought about leaving behind a Shadow Clone and sneaking off to find a very large body of water to test a new Water Jutsu he thought of using Sage Art Chakra.
It was where he used a much more powerful version of the Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu (Water Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu)
However, if he got caught, he was gonna have to suffer at the hands of Ruby, Yang, and Nora
Sasuke looked at Weiss, who had been looking rather bored
Sasuke got up, and said, “I am going to use the restroom.”
Yang gave him a ‘sus’ look, when Weiss said, “Don’t worry Yang, I’m gonna make sure he doesn’t go.”
Sasuke and Weiss walked inside before Weiss said, “Alright, if you’re gonna sneak off, do it now.”
Sasuke then asked, “Thank you. Wait, what about you?”
Weiss then replied, “I would go with you, to get away for a moment and have some time to myself, but I can’t make a Shadow Clone like you.”
Sasuke nodded, then crossed his fingers, and two shadow clones formed behind him
One of the clones then made a hand sign before bursting in a plume of smoke, and once the smoke cleared, a perfect copy of Weiss appeared
It was a very common jutsu in Sasuke’s world, but apparently, this was mind-boggling to Weiss
Sasuke gestured to his clone and Weiss’s copy, and they went back out to the balcony
Sasuke then said, “There, you are free. I will alert you when they will start to get to the point where they will dissipate.”
Weiss then replied in awe, “Sasuke…you didn’t…I-I mean that didn’t have to do that.”
Sasuke just responded blatantly, “But I did.”
Weiss looked appreciatively at Sasuke, and said, “Thank you.”
Sasuke was about to walk away when Weiss grabbed his shoulder and asked, “Wait! Is it okay if I come with you!?”
Sasuke raised an eyebrow
Weiss then said, “I promise, I won’t be a burden.”
Sasuke gave a deadpan look before he nodded, and Weiss walked alongside him as they left the Academy
They both walked in silence side-by-side before Weiss broke the silence
“Sasuke, if you had the chance to change some of your decisions, would you have?”
Sasuke looked at Weiss
Weiss stammered, “I-I-I’m just asking! Just plain curiosity!”
Sasuke gave her a hard look before he turned back to looking forward
“Yes, I would’ve changed at least a few of my decisions,” Sasuke replied
Weiss then asked, “Sasuke, do, uh, do you-”
Sasuke cut her off
“What’s that?” Sasuke asked
He heard a….vibrating sound
He looked down and into the pocket that was inside his cloak, and he could see a small, rectangular object vibrating
“What in the hell?” Sasuke said
Weiss gave him a ‘are you kidding me’ look, then asked, “That's your scroll, idiot. Someone’s calling.”
Sasuke took it out, and managed to answer the call all the while cursing and saying things like “Damn It,” and “Blast this confounded contraption.”
Earlier that day Yang, Blake, and Ruby found out he didn’t have a scroll, so they got him one, however, he just put it in his pocket and forgot about it
Sasuke picked up and asked, “Who is it?”
“SASUKE!!!,” Yang yelled on the other end, “YOU HAD BETTER GET THE HELL BACK HERE NOW!”
Uh oh
Looks like his clones went poof
///
The next day
“Amity will take place in an abandoned dust mine, but it’s infested with Grimm. However, military Atlas Huntsman are already clearing it out, however, a Geist had managed to evade and take several lives. When we increased our numbers, it happened to have enough sense to go back into the mine, which means that it’s smart, and very dangerous. Our target is the Geist, and we have to take it down without damaging the mine too much,” Clover said
Sasuke then asked, “What happened to the mine?”
Clover replied, “There was an accident, and many lives were lost.”
Blake asked, “Who did the mine formerly belong to?”
Clover then answered, “The Schnee Dust Company.”
Weiss had a embarrassed look
Team RWBY and JNR had all gotten new armor, and upgraded weapons once again, and some of them even decided to change their hair
Jaune, Ruby, and Blake cut theirs shorter, Weiss braided hers back, while the rest kept their hair the same
Clover then said, “Alright everyone, it’s time to hustle, let’s go.”

Sasuke looked down to the ground far below
“That’s would be considered a long drop for some,” Sasuke said as he thought about Jaune
Qrow then said, “Alright, lets go.”
Clover then turned around and said, “So you guys on the other side.”
Then he jumped off backwards before giving off a salut
Show-off
Sasuke jumped off, and dived down towards the ground, and he closed his eyes and took in a deep breath
Then he felt the ground coming closer, and he channeled chakra into his feet, flipped, and landed on both of his feet, the ground crunching as he landed with a THOM!
Sasuke then felt Clover and Qrow land behind him, and Sasuke said, “Slowpokes.”
Qrow chuckled
Sasuke activated his Sharingan, and said, “Alright, lead the way, Clover.”
As they walked through the dust mine, Sasuke analyzed each and every single pathway, every detail, every stone, carve, and pattern.
Qrow then asked, “Sightseeing kid?”
Sasuke then said, “It’s easy to get lost here. This place is like a labyrinth. It would be good to learn its pathways.”
Qrow then chuckled, “Thinking ahead, eh kid?”
Sasuke then frowned, and said, “I’m not a regular child.”
“Hey, I meant no offense,” Qrow said
Sasuke looked forward
“Any signs?” Sasuke asked
Clover shook his head, “Not yet.”
Sasuke sighed
///
Itachi looked at the team he was paired up with
JNR looked at him expectantly as Elm, a big women with a hammer, and Drew, another Ace Ops teammate walked through the passageways of the mine
Itachi looked at JNR and said, “Just follow their lead.”
Jaune groaned, “Well, that didn’t help at all.”
Nora then said, “Was that the only advice you have?”
Itachi replied, “Yes, that was all.”
Elm then said, “Hey, kids, come on, pick up the pace!”
Itachi began to walk a little faster wehn Drew said, “We’ve got contact!”
Itachi dashed in front of them to see multiple Centipede-like Grimm coming out of the ground
“Is it just me, or are the Grimm that Salem comes up with get more disgusting as they evolve?” Itachi asked himself
Itachi then made multiple hand signs before saying, “Katon: Housenka no Jutsu! (Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Flower Jutsu!)”
Itachi shot forward multiple small fireballs that each exploded on contact, however, he precisely aimed each one with extreme precision and accuracy to where they would immediately destroy the Grimm, but not set off any nearby Dust
The Centipede’s were all immediately fried, and now were vaporizing into dust
Drew then said, “Well, that was a rather head-on approach.”
Itachi replied, “I like to end weak opponents quickly when I am in a hurry.”
Drew nodded his head and said, “Understandable.”
///
Sasuke saw the black, ghost-like Grimm try to get away from them.
Sasuke had heard that Geist were weak by themselves, but if they managed to possess some kind of material to protect themselves, they could be a force to be reckoned with
Sasuke rushed after it as he left Qrow and Clover in the dust
However, the ghost-like Grimm went into a giant hunk of ice, and began to form
Sasuke analyzed The Geist with his Sharingan
Qrow then said, “Look out!”
Sasuke looked up, and saw a metal beam about to fall on him
Sasuke quicker than lightning, uncovered his Rinnegan, and using his extra gift, the Amenotejikara to switch places with the beam, and almost immediately, he was in the air in front of the forming Geist
Sasuke did a Ax-kick to its face, and it went crunching through the floor
Sasuke landed back on the ground
“Damn it!” Sasuke cursed
Sasuke then turned to Clover and said, “Alert the others, I’ll keep it in one spot.”
He then jumped down into the hole
///
Ruby ran after Yang, all the while fighting through Grimm
Yang’s armored arm raised up to defend against a centipedes bite, but it’s jaws snapped as soon as it bit down on Yang’s armored arm
Yang quickly inspected where the Centipede bit
Not even a scratch, and she barely felt the force of that bite, and apparently these things can easily chomp your arm in half. Man, was she gonna love this thing.
Yang cocked back her arm, and put the settings to where it would multiply it by 2
Yang’s eyes turned red, and her hair erupted in a golden fire, and she let out a yell of effort as she punched the Centipede in its midsection. It went flying backward like a ragdoll, and any Grimm that was behind it was easily mowed down, and just the force of getting hit by the flying Grimm was enough to kill them.
However, they didn’t have any time to dodge because Marrow snapped his fingers, and said, “Stay!”
Suddenly, any Grimm behind the flying Centipede slowed down like they were in slow-motion or stopped moving at all, and they were all killed by Yang’s flying Centipede
Yang looked at the armored arm and said, “I’m gonna love this thing!”
Marrow had basically winced when he saw how hard she hit that Grimm. Luckily it was a Grimm and not a person, or else they probably would have been far beyond dead.
They then ran into what seemed like the center of the mountain
They saw Sasuke standing there, the Geist in front of him as it roared
“What the heck is Sasuke doing!?” Hare asked
Yang put out her hand and said, “This is the part where he kicks ass.”
///
Sasuke stretched his neck and cracked his fists
“Let’s see how fierce you really are.”
The Geist had added Dust to itself, so Sasuke had to be careful where he hit, and had to be wary of any falling dust crystals
Sasuke crossed his fingers, and said, “Taju-Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu)”
8 clones appeared, which was Sasuke’s max limit
The clones then dashed around the room looking for an opening
Sasuke jumped forward and smashed his fist into the Geist’s Grimm-like skull, and it went stumbling back
Suddenly, two clones grabbed the right arm of the Geist, and pulled, and a black, arm underneath that held the hunk of ice together showed
Another clone slashed the arm off
4 of his clones then went rushing around the room catching any falling dust crystals
Sasuke then drew his Kusanagi, and rushed forward, and slashed the Geist’s heel with accuracy and precision, and the Geist fell onto it’s knees
Sasuke then jumped up and ran up the wall, then launched off and land on the back of the Geist
The clones then made multiple hand signs before saying, “Raiton: Denki no Netto (Lighting Style: Electric Net)”
It was a jutsu that Sasuke had created back in the simulation training
Suddenly the clones each made a rope of Electricity, and they flung it to another clone, and repeated this process until they had woven a giant net, and then they landed on the wall that Sasuke had previously been on, entrapping the Geist in the net
Sasuke had jumped off the Geist’s back once it was entrapped, and jumped up to a overhanging bridge, then dropped downward again, and impaled his blade into the Geist’s skull, then using his sword for a launchpad, he jumped off it, impaling it further, the he uncovered his Rinnegan once again, and made a Chidori in his hand
He landed, then using his Amenotejikara, and suddenly where his electrified hand was, the electricity suddenly disappeared, and his Kusanagi was in his hand instead
The electricity of his Chidori reappeared inside the Geist’s skull, and it received a electrocution, stunning it and loosening it from it’s hunk of ice and dust that it had clung itself to
“Bansho Ten’in (Universal Pull)!” Sasuke said
Suddenly, the ghost-like Grimm was pulled out, and went flying straight towards Sasuke, and Sasuke then held out his hands
“Blaze Release Honoikazuchi!” Sasuke said
Suddenly, giant black spikes that were slightly enveloped in black flames sprouted all around Sasuke, and the Geist ended up being impaled right into it.
The spiked flames went away, and the Geist dissipated
Sasuke gave a small smile to himself before saying, “Well, looks like I haven’t lost my touch.”

“Hey ya mind if we spare once in a while?” Hare asked Sasuke
He did an efficient job of the Geist, and a quick one too. Much quicker than the Ace Ops could have ever done
Sasuke simply asked, “Why do you want to spare?”
Hare replied, “To get better, of course!”
Sasuke couldn’t deny that. Becoming stronger was a very good virtue to have when you are strong because you couldn’t ever tell when someone stronger will come along.
Sasuke nodded
Qrow then said, “Hey, heads up.”
Sasuke looked forward to see General Ironwood, who was on the phone
“He’s here already!?.....Alright, go ahead, let him down,” Ironwood said before hanging up
Ruby then asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ironwood sighed, and said, “We have some rather unwelcome guests.”
Weiss then asked, “And who exactly is that?”
Suddenly, an airship came out of nowhere and touched down, and a man dressed in white with a…white mustache and white hair came walking down. God, so much white.
“First, the embargo, and now you’re trespassing on private property!? You're out of your mind, General Ironwood!” Jacques Schnee said
Ironwood then said, “It is for a good reason, Jacques, and besides, why do you care if you never used this mine for 10 years?”
Weiss then said, “You can’t have everything your way, Father.”
Jacques then said furiously, “You also let my lost daughter on your little operation as well!? What kind of man are you!?”
Ironwood then said, “I’m more of a man than you.”
Jacques then replied, “I didn’t come to beg for an abandoned mine, but I’m here to let you know, that you will pay for ever intruding on grounds you do not own, and to thank you for personally handing me your noose.”
Jacques then looked at Weiss, and said, “You know, your mother was heartbroken when you left. And you know how she gets when she is…upset.”
Weiss had a slightly shocked look on her face when Sasuke came up to him.
“Hello, Jacques Schnee, I’ve heard plenty about you,” Sasuke said. Winter and Weiss talked about him sometimes
Jacques then asked Weiss, “Well, where are my manners, I don’t believe I’ve met you. Tell me, my daughter, is this one of your wayward, barbaric friends?”
Weiss replied, “No, he’s my family. He is a part of OUR family.”
Ruby, Blake, and Yang walked up next to Weiss
Sasuke then continued, “You know, Jacques, you remind me of a certain someone. He was a businessman just like you.”
Jacques then said, “I don’t want to kn-”
Sasuke interrupts, “His name was Gatou. And do you want to know what I want to do to anyone like that when they insult any of my comrades?”
Jacques took a small step back
Sasuke then said, “Let's just say that you are irritating me. Especially through the fact that to you, money is life. You’re so willing to risk the Faunus’s necks for your own gain, and you never gave them what they are owed. So I’ll tell you this.”
Sasuke then let his Sharingan glow, “I don’t want to see you again, or else we will have a few problems.”
Jacques then nodded, then said, “I’ve had half a mind to agree to your very same requests. I will try to the best of my capabilities to honor it.”
He then turned around to walk into his ship when Sasuke said as he left, loud enough for Jacques to hear him, “Half a mind, eh? Suits you, due to the fact that you aren’t even half a man.”
Jacques stormed the rest of his way into his ship, then took off
Weiss then said silently, “Thank you.”
Suddenly, a truck pulled up, and Winter stepped out
Weiss then said, “Winter, you had just missed father.”
Winter replied, “I don’t think I’ll miss-”
Suddenly, Penny came out of nowhere, and rocketed towards the ground before making a heavy landing, making team RWBY jump
“Congratulations!” Penny said
Winter gave Penny a ‘too early’ look
Penny said, “What, we haven’t given it to them yet?”
