Author note:

High all... Been a while since I typed something up and truthfully I just got bored writing the other stories so left them for now. Have no idea if I will continue them cause I only write if I want to duh. I'll deal with PM's another time as I haven't logged on since my last chapter upload like half a year ago or so

I, however, had been reading some other fanfiction material, two of which has inspired this story when I was dumbstruck with an awesome story idea after watching RWBY animation on youtube. Essentially it is a crossover from a highly reviewed Naruto fanfiction story I really liked and an RWBY story that I simply can't get out of my head. They are of course Life in Konoha's ANBU by Shezza and Between Two Worlds by Ryshe.

I recommend reading Life in Konoha's ANBU because that is the basis for my Naruto part of the story as both worlds interact in a similar scenario played by the Between Two Worlds story. Both are some of my favourite fics and I got the sudden inspiration to combine the two. I'd ask permission from the two, but they haven't been touched for a while so I'm not sure they would reply. Still I'll send them a message of gratitude.

Although Life in Konoha's ANBU isn't finished, there are some concepts and events I will be filling in for continuation purposes to further understand the dynamics of the story. Some are mentioned here and I will go into detail about them in later chapters such as Akatsuki civil war and interaction with Nagato. I am on holidays for a while and I really like the idea of this story so I am likely to stay on this for a while, especially since RWBY is still being released and is nowhere near done or boring, short and sweet after all. That being said flaming would work to determent my inspiration

That being said I own nothing related to anime except the products. All recognition goes to those that made the anime and manga possible.

Chapter 1: Prologue, Welcome to Vale

Naruto looked out through one of the many windows adorning the Vale airship. It was a small ship compared to others he had seen and he had been on board a full week to reach Vale. He watched as the Atlas and Vale military escort ships and personnel that had been so graciously 'returned' by the Shinobi alliance as a 'gesture of goodwill', few that they were departed after crossing the ocean towards Remanent. The officers on board were, of course, glaring daggers at him and talking behind his back with open hostility the entire way, obviously still pissed at their spectacular military defeat and death of thousands of comrades against the newly formed Shinobi Alliance now encompassing the entirety of the elemental countries. He never thought he would see the day, Iwa, Kumo, Kiri, Konoha, Suna, all the core military powers on the continent and the various small countries surrounding them more notably Taki and Ame all allied together. To believe Nagato and his dream for peace in the Elemental Nations would blossom not even a full year before his declaration. Of course, it helped that the idiots from Remnant decided to launch an 'invasion' against them along with the appearance of Grim in different countries. Regardless he knew that the Shinobi would be able to take care of them in time, most were rather weak and can be easily dealt with by Genin teams and C rank missions. One thing is for certain though is that the Elemental Nations, ninja and samurai alike would be busy for a long time to come, new technology, methods of thinking, new potential resources would ensure all departments, especially that of research and development would be busy innovating and adapting for a long time yet.

Naruto looked out at the city taking note of its distinct architecture. It was very different from the style used back home with buildings built on stone, far different from the primary wooden structures of Konoha and most ninja villages. The closest to them he could think of were of the skyscrapers of Ame and certain ruins in Suna, which had towers of stone that reached dozens upon dozens of meters, if not more into the sky. The ones he was seeing, however, were much smaller and compact and didn't have pipes going off them showing a bit of elegance and aesthetic appeal in the urban environment. There were, of course, advantages and disadvantages for the architecture using either material such as sturdiness and ability to construct, repair, replace and most of all the cost, but it wasn't his place to comment on Vale's designs. He watched on as the airship continued through and around the city picking up the new prospecting students for beacon academy. He had after all been debriefed on his mission, but still knowing who they were didn't alleviate his concerns over this high S-ranked mission. Curse that perverted old man for putting him up to this.

Flashback: After the ceasefire agreement.

"Ferret", Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke with rigid seriousness in his office surrounded by different commanders of Konoha, the remaining loyal Sennin, elite Jonin and ANBU of significant importance. As expected not even a second later Ferret appeared in a cloud of smoke kneeling in front of him, ANBU mask on and ready for orders.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

"As you are aware the elemental countries are to send a representative over to Vale." The Kage paused to take a smoke of his pipe. "It has been agreed upon by the leaders of the Shinobi alliance as well as the Daimyo that you are the best 'child' to represent the elemental nations and their interests in Vale". Naruto tensed slightly, but eye twitched in annoyance at the mention of child. He was being presented what would undoubtedly end up being a long and hard S-class mission.

Breathing more smoke from the pipe then exhaling slowly Hiruzen then continued to outline the details of the arrangement.

"This S- class mission, however, would require you to attend a school in Vale called Beacon academy."

At the mention of school Naruto slightly lost composure from his kneeling position before reaffirming himself.

"Permission to speak Hokage-sama."

"Permission not granted."

"Naruto spluttered a bit behind the Ferret mask before speaking anyway standing up and pointing at him."

"Wh- What the hell old man! After all the stuff I've done, you want to send me back to school, Why not someone else!?"

"Ferret, you spoke out of line. As punishment, you will be cleaning and filing away the information departments excess paperwork, which will be done to tonight. Am I clear..." the Hokage instantly replied with a slight smirk on his face watching as the young blond spluttered again in annoyance and confusion. The rest of the onlookers smirking or giggling at the two's antics.

"Now I know it's hard to get through that puny little brain of yours, but I will indulge you why. You have a 'decent' reputation around the elemental nations," Naruto's eye twitched at the understatement, "you are of a good age, and 'okay' at dealing with paperwork." Naruto's eye twitched again.

Hiruzen paused to take another brief smoke letting the words sink in. "Not only will you be 'representing' the elemental nations and Konoha in particular, but also assigned to gather as much information as possible on Remnant, which for now will be sent and delivered through your summons until appropriate means of communications can be established across continents. Additionally, we have a ceasefire, not a peace treaty. If war breaks out you would be expected to survive and as such it is unanimously agreed by the Kage council and the Daimyo's that you are fit for the mission. There is no one else."

Ferret let the words sink in understanding the deeper importance of the mission. Information was important and there was still a lot unknown about Remanent and their people as well as the Grimm creatures appearing. He had a duty to protect the citizens of Konoha and Hi no Kuni and now the rest of the elemental nations. This was more than a simple S- ranked mission.

"That and your pretty much useless here now anyways." Hiruzen finished after a pause. He did really like messing with his pupil.

Naruto's eye twitched at the lost moment of awesomeness he was feeling as the occupants smirked again.

"You have till tomorrow morning to prepare. Now dismissed, the papers aren't going to file themselves away now are they."

"B-but."

"Dismissed."

"Crazy perverted old man", Naruto muttered under his breath

"What was that?" Hiruzen spoke up, a dangerous amount of KI being admitted towards Naruto.

"Nothing", he spoke one last time in slight fright before shunshining out of the Kage room, the remaining occupants laughing.

Jiraiya spoke up "Trying to get the most of his last few hours here. We're really going to miss that brat."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Jiraiya again, this time with a melancholic smile "I know".

Flashback end.

Curse that old man. Doesn't he know that without him who's gonna help out with paperwork and clean the house and make them breakfast. Naruto thought for a moment and sighed, he guessed that Konohamaru would be picking up the slack along with another genin team. Poor kids, they would be scarred for life.

Naruto looked at the window again, this time taking in his reflection of what he saw as cool 'man', a black top, cream long pants with a kunai pouch tied on his right thigh, a specialised wakizashi sword on his left, a large storage scroll on his back, Tsunade's necklace and, of course, his long orange coat with black flames on the bottom designed after his father's signature coat. He was 16 now and he really did look so much like his father from the pictures except with whisker marks and a scar going down his left eye thanks to the asshole Madara. So much has happened in the 6 and a half years since he took a more active role outside Konoha. From the invasion and destruction of the Sky village and their flying fortress to his participation in the Kiri civil war to the pact with Nagato and the Akatsuki civil war leading to the first steps of the Shinobi alliance.

As much as he wanted to hate Vale, Atlas and pretty much all of Remanent for the death of innocents, he couldn't deny how much of a help they were. The alliance was initially shaky, teamwork and disclosure of information was a problem even with the strong leadership spurred by Nagato. This, however, changed with the appearance of grim and the Remanent invaders along with the death of thousands of innocents across the Elemental continent. There was now a common enemy to fight.

Better yet as the alliance won simultaneous battles on the northern front in Earth country and the southern front in Fire country after driving out the initial 'invasion', they were able to capture swaths of technology and gain significant information and innovation potential both for military and for civilian use. Guns, energy shielding ideas, armour and more notably several Atlesian and regular airships captured. To top it off under the strategic command of Shukaku Nara and Shikamaru Nara, losses were less than initially estimated in part from the hard work of Tsunade and good strategic thinking and while casualties were high, wounds will heal in time. Remnant forces, on the other hand, suffered stunning defeats, many were killed, most were captured including some of their airships. Naruto couldn't help but smile at that. In the end, the elemental nations came to the negotiating table with a significant advantage and bargaining chips on their own captured crafts in hopes to sue for a ceasefire until they got their bearings. After all, they were not ready for full combat against the other half of the world when they hardly knew anything about them.

That's where he came in though he would have preferred if it was done black ops style instead of going through school. Sure it helped the image of the Elemental Nations, but school was school and it was boring when he remembered it. To top it off he was not only on a mission but also in enemy territory attending their school for their version of ninja who undoubtedly heard the news and deaths of thousands of their own, quite a few by his own hand mind you, which hopefully they don't know. It is already guaranteed that the students and teachers would hate him. It was going to be a long 4 years and quite possibly the most lonely and most on guard for in his life. Guess it made sense he was the only one qualified, seeing someone like Konohamaru try and go through it would undoubtedly end in disaster. Probably should have recommended Sasuke, though Itachi probably would be pissed and haunt him in death, but hey they both owed him big time. Should have cashed in.

Naruto sighed

The Airship to beacon was filling up as more students and potential students started piling on. Some were initially curious about him, he was, after all, wearing distinct clothing. This changed however as one female approached nudging him his side and out of curiosity, he turned his head to face her. She initially blushed as she analysed his face, but as she saw the headband she froze, took a step back before tripping, then scurrying away as if to get away from a monster. Naruto sweat dropped at the action though he was expecting something along the lines, just less comical.

He watched on briefly as the attention of the dozen or so passengers were drawn to the action and to him and as expected they took a step back in fear. Naruto turned back around to stare out the window and it didn't take long for his acute sense of hearing to pick out the whispers about him, some were, of course, fearful and negative about him, some were even harsh insults, those he didn't mind as it was to be expected. The most curious ones, however, were those of whispers of confusion. It was as if they hadn't been informed he was coming and he was sure something like this would be front paper news. Well, as long as the insults weren't substantial he was not obliged to act or deter them. He did, after all, participate in the brief war and this was their territory, no harm no foul.

Another hour passed with the whispering continuing and with clear evidence of people avoiding him. There was like a 5-meter radius from where he was and the remaining areas looked like they were getting crowded as more people filled up. There were, of course, people that walked in the radius, all were unaware but were, of course, pulled out by one bystander or another before the situation was explained. Seriously didn't word get around he was coming here, or was it just that they didn't expect him on board the airship on the way to the academy.

Naruto was taken out of his thoughts of frustration by a particularly loud shout and the cheery attitude contrasted to the immensely tense atmosphere. "I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me, This is the best day ever."

His eyes were drawn to a striking figure of a voluptuous girl dressed in a leather jacket and half-skirt wore over short-shorts and a crop top. The girls curvy figure and toned, bare midriff would have drawn attention enough by themselves, but her long, wild mane of blonde hair and energetic nature made her stick out like a beacon amongst the crowd. Sort of reminded him of Tsunade, another traitor that put him here. He took note of the one she was crushing in an affectionate hug while crooning happily. Aside from skin tone, the two looked very different with the exchange of words only revealing they were siblings. The smaller girl wore a red trimmed black dress and of all things a long bright red cloak. With bright silver eyes and shorter hair with a darker coloured red fading towards the ends to frame a round face. This second girl leaned more towards cuteness than the confident beauty of the other girl. She was also a lot shorter though that could be a factor of her age which was still hard to tell. He took note to listen in, simply because he was bored and anything else he listened in on was either something about him or nonsensical garbage.

"Oh, but I'm so proud of you!"

"Really sis it was nothing."

"What do you mean, it was incredible. Everyone in Beacon is going to think your the bee's knees."

"I don't want to be the Bee's knees, okay I don't want to be any kind of knees, I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees."

"What's with you, aren't you excited?"

"Of course, I'm excited, I just... I moved ahead 2 years. I don't want people to think I'm special or anything" the red one continued slightly downtrodden.

"But you are special."

Naruto smiled at the sisterly love. He supposed it was a nice change of mood compared to the constant tension he'd been dealing with all week, even though the interaction close to him had been spurred by simply ignoring his presence and the tension in the atmosphere.

Suddenly his eavesdropping was interrupted by what he assumed was a holographic broadcast with recent news, something of far more importance. He had to admit, though, Remnants technology was far ahead of their own, but he smiled at the idea of the gap closing rapidly spurred on by their victory and fuinjutsu.

"The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts please contact the Vale police department, back to you Lisa." Naruto took note of the figure on screen, orange hair with dark green eyes. It appears Remanent has its own problems, although not as extensive as that of the elemental nations.

"Thank you Sero, in other news, this Saturday's Faunus civil rights protest turned dark when members of the white fang disrupted the ceremony." Naruto took note of the image on the screen, people with prominent animal features. This is big information that must be relayed to the leading departments of the alliance, after all, the enemy with internal civil unrest could play a big role with Remnants power as a whole, something that could be taken advantage of. He'd have to research more about this problem for an adequate report.

He watched as the image changed again to a red logo of a wolf with three claw marks going through. Naruto memorised the exact detail of the image, would draw it up later and find more information about it afterwards for his report. Every bit of information counts and every ninja knows the value of information.

"The once peaceful organisation has now disrupted". The reporter continued before stopping briefly to listen in more carefully on what Naruto assumed was an earpiece.

"Hold on... We're just getting breaking news. It appears there has been a breakthrough in negotiations with the newly identified Shinobi Alliance. Still much remains unknown about them, however, to accommodate the ceasefire agreement a respected member of the alliance has been sent to attend beacon academy and will be there in... I'm sorry... Will be there for today's ceremony."

Before the reporter Lisa could continue however, the news report was interrupted by a new hologram appearing of a middle-aged woman with light blond hair tied back in a bun with a curl hanging down the right side of her face. Her bright green eyes and glasses aiding to give her the mature look. All in all like Tsunade but serious in her work and non-alcoholic.

"Hello and welcome to Beacon, my name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among the privileged few who have received the honour of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an unprecedented time of peace." Naruto scoffed at that. It appears the hologram hasn't been updated as of late, then again who could blame them.

"And as future huntsmen and huntresses it's your duty to uphold it" another scoff.

"You have demonstrated such a task and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world".

Naruto thought to himself. From what he had been briefed, Huntsmen and Huntresses were just like Shinobi and Kunoichi. They did missions with their own rankings and are institutionally trained to take on the variety of missions. There were however also some stark differences, for instance, ninja's undergo more rigid training academically and also in combat, start and graduate early into teams with a Jonin for missions to focus on experience and sharpening skills. Hunters go through institutions for a longer time and take missions on exclusive events for internship purposes. One other significant difference mentioned is that hunters train primarily to combat monsters while Ninja, on the other hand, train to combat humans. Naruto really couldn't help but laugh at the irony. Grimm were never truly the monsters, only people and because of their key targets, the Ninja would always have an advantage over them.

Still it was going to be an interesting 4 years at the academy.

Chapter End

Please read and review. No pointless flaming, it disheartens writers from completing stories which are pointless since all you need to do is not read on a completely free site for stories.

As I'm still wrapping my head around the story, I may do some edits in the future. The concept will remain the same so.
