Hey guys, and welcome back to technically the second fanfic of my life! You all know me from my story, Of Aura and Chakra. If you are new, I will tell you I have officially decided to do a reboot of that story to make Of Aura and Chakra: Reboot, because of too many plot issues and weird scenarios.
So this reboot will have a lot of major changes in the storyline. The overall setting will be the same, but as I mentioned before, things will be very different.
To be honest, these two fanfics could look completely different, but I will try to keep them as close to the storyline as possible. It's like the similarities between the Deadpool comics and the Deadpool movie (the good one, not the bullcrap X-Men version).
So, anyway, thank you guys for clicking or tapping on this story, and I hope I can meet all of your expectations!
*By the way, can anyone please answer me on the disclaimer thing? Do I really have to do it every single chapter?*
Disclaimer: Naruto and RWBY do not belong to me. They belong to their respective owners.

"Team 7," declared a busty blonde woman, "I need all of you to go investigate a disturbance in the southern part of the village."
The four figures standing in front of the woman's desk nodded in affirmation.
Kakashi Hatake, a lean man with silver hair that defied gravity, drawled out a question without his eyes leaving his book, Icha Icha Paradise. "Is there any intel on what the disturbance is, Tsunade-sama?"
A young teen piped up, a gleaming headband holding up his unruly blonde hair. "Yeah, Granny Tsunade! I need to know if I get to fight somebody, dattebayo!"
Naruto Uzumaki. The ever energetic shinobi. He was by far the most eccentric shinobi Tsunade had ever met in her entire life. He wore a bright orange and black jumpsuit, which made it very easy to see, especially in the dark. To top it all off, he had vibrant blonde hair, sky blue eyes, and a cheeky personality. To this day, Tsunade still wondered at how Naruto managed to stay hidden on spy and stealth missions. To be fair, he always disregards stealth and attacks at the first opportunity… Tsunade sighed internally. His actions always created some problems, due to him accidentally destroying property that wasn't supposed to be destroyed or destroying people that weren't meant to be destroyed.
"OI! DON'T CALL ME 'GRANNY' BRAT!" she yelled as she threw a scroll from her desk towards Naruto's cheeky face. Crap, I think that was the letter the Raikage sent me…
Naruto went down in a huff, the heavy scroll impacting his face at high speeds. His teammate, Sakura Haruno, proceeded to pick him up off the ground by grabbing his collar and shaking him around, yelling about 'more respect to your leader' and whatnot.
Sakura Haruno was an extremely pretty kunoichi, a proud student of Tsunade herself. Her vibrant pink hair matched her fiery temper. In fact, she punched someone through a couple houses after he insulted her hair. It was as if Tsunade's personality rubbed off on her.
The last team member in the group, Sai Yamanaka, just watched with a placid look on his extremely pale face. Sai was an ANBU from Danzo's ROOT unit. Originally sent to spy on Naruto, Sai now helped out Team 7 in their missions. He was also there to replace Sasuke. Tsunade knew not to mention the runaway ninja to the ragtag group in front of her. It brought out too many memories.
Tsunade's blood began to boil when Naruto and Sakura began to argue more loudly. It was getting ridiculously annoying. But this quarrel did warm her heart a little.
Even after Pein's attack on Konoha, Naruto still greeted the day with a smile and that goofy attitude of his. Tsunade stole a glance out of the many windows surrounding her office. The village was still going through major construction due to Pein's Shinra Tensei, which absolutely decimated the village.
However, none of the inhabitants of Konoha were injured or killed, due to Pein/Nagato giving away his life in exchange for the ones he took. This was all because Naruto talked some sense into that crazy "god" and changed his ways for the better.
Tsunade looked back. Naruto, she thought, I hope you will continue to achieve the peace you have always strove for.
Naruto's head slammed into the table, sending numerous papers and scrolls fluttering and bouncing everywhere. It would take forever to reorganize everything.
All of Tsunade's previous feelings towards Naruto vanished faster than her money when she gambled.
Naruto bounded up, ready to punch Sai in the face for tripping him. Naruto glared at the pale boy's face. It was smiling innocently, his eyes crinkled up in amusement.
A hand gripped his shoulder tightly. Naruto immediately froze, too scared to look behind him, for he knew, if he did, he would face the true horrors of an angry woman.
But, Naruto was not a smart enough to realize that he shouldn't turn around. He shakily turned his head fraction by fraction to face the demon about to unleash hell.
His fearful eyes settled on burning red ones, shadows covering Tsunade's shaking figure.
*CRUNCH*
In the blink of an eye, there was a Naruto-sized crater in the opposite wall, with an unconscious Naruto right in the center.
Tsunade breathed heavily, fist shaking as she forcefully tried to calm herself down. After doing so, the Hokage collapsed onto her chair, rubbing her temples. She really needed some painkillers.
While Sakura tried to pull Naruto out of the hole, Kakashi and Sai gleaned over the mission details. Kakashi noticed one small tidbit of information.
He looked at the stressed woman quizzically. "Hokage-sama? Why is Yamato not accompanying us on this mission?"
The blonde looked up. She seemed to have calmed down considerably. Tsunade folded her hands and looked at the ninja straight in the eye. "I'm afraid he's busy at the moment. His skills are needed for rebuilding the houses and infrastructure."
Kakashi nodded. It made sense. In situations like these, where the entire village was decimated, Wood Style would be useful in completing construction and safely clearing away rubble.
Sai looked down at the given paper once more. His nearly emotionless eyes scoured the paper. He looked up at the blonde woman. "What kind of disturbance are we going to investigate?"
Tsunade didn't answer immediately, due to her trying to at least slightly reorganize some scrolls. She gave up soon after. I'll just make Shizune do it later…
"We don't know for sure. It could be some enemy-nin or even the Akatsuki, but one of the Hyuuga sentries said he didn't register any chakra signatures. Or it could just be nothing. But in times like these, we need to check every single disturbance nearby. In the weakened state Konoha is in right now, we can't take any chances."
Kakashi snapped his fingers. That's why Team 9 had to check out a brothel! When he asked them why they went in there in the first place, they said it was a mission from the Hokage. Kakashi almost chuckled. He had imagined Guy going in there of his own accord. It would have been hilarious to see him flirt with an attitude like his.
Kakashi looked over his shoulder. "Naruto," he called, "We got a mission to do. Stop goofing around and let's go!"
Sakura was finally able to pull Naruto out of the crater. The blonde-haired ninja flopped onto the ground, almost completely unconscious. "Just five more minutes, mom…" he groaned.
Sakura felt veins pop up under her skin. She lifted Naruto up by his clothes and slapped him in the face. Hard.
Naruto yelped and shot wide open. He snapped his eyes towards the Hokage, who was trying once again, in vain, to reorganize her desk.
"Neh, neh," he exclaimed excitedly, "You said that there could be some enemy-nin to fight?"
Tsunade sighed and bowed her head, blonde hair covering her face from view. "Yes, Naruto, there may be some enemy-nin to fight." She answered tiredly.
Naruto quickly bounded towards one of the many windows that surrounded the Hokage's office and threw one open. "What are we waiting for, dattebayo!"
He clambered out the window and ran off into the distance by leaping off houses and trees.
Sakura ran up to the window and yelled after him. "Naruto! That's the wrong way!"
Kakashi eye-smiled and looked back at the Hokage. She seemed to be repeatedly slamming her head against the table, which disorganized her work more. About half the scrolls she organized fell back onto the floor in fluttering heaps.
Kakashi slightly grimaced under that mask of his. I know how you feel, Hokage-sama…
Kakashi straightened. "Anything else, Hokage-sama?"
Tsunade looked up from her desk. Her forehead was covered with a large bruise. "Yes," she groaned, "That is all. You are dismissed."
The remaining three ninja bowed respectfully towards their leader and walked out of the office like normal ninja should. Right before Kakashi closed the door, the busty blonde woman called after him. "Kakashi," she said, with a serious look on her face, "If it's the Akatsuki, call for backup immediately. We can't afford to lose any more good people to this organization."
Kakashi nodded.
The door closed, making an audible snap that lingered in the empty room. Tsunade sighed and rubbed her temples. She was nervous. And rightfully so. She just sent Team 7 into an unknown situation with almost no intel. It was the equivalent to tying their hands together, blindfolding them, and dropping them straight into enemy territory. The only consolation was that Team 7 could probably survive a mission with tied hands and blindfolds.
The ragtag group was more than capable of handling themselves, which gave Tsunade a little comfort.
Tsunade then remembered something. She clicked on the intercom in front of her desk. "Oi, Shizune," she called, "I need you to organize these papers on my desk while I go to the bar."
The answer came quickly. "Hokage-sama! You shouldn't go to the bar! You still have to reply to the letters the other Kage's have sent y-"
By this point, Tsunade had already turned off the intercom and was shouldering on a light coat. She ruffled her hair and stood up straight. She turned to face the windows behind her. It was relatively peaceful in the village. Aside from all the construction work going on, the townspeople just moved on with business. Ichiraku's Ramen Stand, which was destroyed during the invasion (much to Naruto's chagrin), was promptly rebuilt and offered a quick snack to working ninja.
A rumble caught her attention. She focused on some moving rubble in the distance. Huge tendrils of wood were carefully lifting up large pieces of rock and parts of houses in order to clear a path for the workers. It seemed Yamato was hard at work.
The Hokage noticed an orange speck chased by a red and pink speck in the far distance. The red and pink speck caught up and sent the orange speck flying through the air and into the forest.
Tsunade grinned. Those two never grew up. She liked it that way.
The sound of a door opening caught her attention. "What is this mess?!"
(-)
Naruto grumbled as he trudged through the underbrush. His stomach still hurt from the punch Sakura gave him earlier. As of now, he was the first to enter the forest. Kakashi, Sai, and Sakura were still on their way.
He glanced down at a small paper. According to the paper that Kakashi-sensei gave him right before he went flying, he was getting very close to the area of disturbance. Only a couple hundred meters away.
He folded the paper and put it in his pocket. Naruto looked up at the sky. It was a nice day in Konoha. The sun was bright and a light breeze gently stirred up the leaves.
Naruto sighed deeply, enjoying the fresh air and peace. It was nice to appreciate the nature and beauty of things, especially after the incidents that occurred lately. It was a very stressful day a week ago. He returned form training on Mount Myobuku, found his village completely destroyed, almost died, saw Hinata almost die, go berserk using the Kyuubi's chakra, and met his dad for the first time.
That entire day had been an emotional rollercoaster.
Naruto batted a branch out of his way. Still, he was able to gain a new worldview after Nagato entrusted the world's peace to him. Naruto looked at his fist and clenched it tightly. In payment of Nagato's sacrifice and Pervy-sensei's teachings, Naruto swore he would find peace.
Naruto looked up at the sky again. It was past noon. The rest of the team should have been with him by now. Naruto steadily grew annoyed. "Come on," he groaned, running a hand through his unruly hair, "What's taking them so long?"
"I don't know," answered a bright voice right next to Naruto, "It is getting a little boring with just you and me here."
Naruto nodded. "Tell me about it."
A pause passed the area.
"Ah!"
Naruto jumped from away from the strange appearance next to him and pulled out a kunai, all in the span of a second.
The man that was standing next to him yelled too, his gloved hands reaching up to cover his masked face. "What is it?! Do I have a bug on me?!"
The man freaked out. Naruto immediately noticed very important details about the man standing a few feet away from him. First off, he had spiky black hair. Secondly, he wore a swirly orange face-mask with only a right eyehole on it. Lastly, he wore a long, black coat with red cloud patterns on it. Akatsuki.
Naruto warily circled the man, who had calmed down somewhat. He hadn't seen this person before. Maybe he was a new addition to the notorious group.
"Who are you?" Naruto demanded, with his voice laced with steel.
The masked man jumped straight up and snapped into a mock salute. "My name is Tobi! Nice to finally meet you, Naruto Uzumaki!"
Naruto narrowed his eyes and gripped his kunai tighter. For a member of the Akatsuki, this Tobi guy didn't really seem that strong. But looks could be deceiving. After all, Hinata looked really shy and timid, but when she was in battle, she absolutely destroyed anything in her way.
"Why are you here?" Naruto demanded. "Are you here to try and capture me again?"
Tobi excitedly clapped his hands together while jumping childishly. "Right-o! With most of the shinobi working on rebuilding the village, I, the great Tobi, can swoop in and capture you! Then the others will finally see that I'm really good at my job!"
Naruto smirked and brought up his hands to form his signature move. "You make it sound like it would be easy, dattebayo!"
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Several clouds of smoke filled the area. About 10 clones popped into existence alongside the original. All the Naruto's had a Rasengan at the ready, each about the size of a large apple.
It may have looked a little bit overkill, but Naruto knew nothing about Tobi and he needed to gauge his strength.
With a roar, all the clones rushed towards the masked man, who was fearfully shaking in his boots.
The nearest clone thrust out a hand as he sped towards Tobi. "Rasengan!"
The clone sailed right though body as if Tobi wasn't there. With a surprised look on the clone's face, the Rasengan primed to explode blew up and dispelled the clone.
When the Rasengan blew up, the resulting explosion set off a chain reaction of most of the clones' Rasengan's. There were now only 3 clones left.
"What the hell?!" Naruto exclaimed. He fully expected the attack to connect with the enemy. But the clone flew right through the body as if it was air.
Tobi idly waved a hand in front of his mask in an attempt to clear the smoke away caused by the explosions.
Naruto quickly slapped his hands together. "KAI!"
A wave of potent chakra rolled off of his body and resonated throughout the surrounding area. Naruto was convinced what just happened was a genjutsu. It was the only thing that made logical sense. Then again, in a world where you could talk with your own deceased parent in your mind, logic was a forgone concept in the ninja world.
Nothing happened.
Naruto grit his teeth tightly and slowly circled the Akatsuki member. The man was just standing there, scratching the side of his head with a finger. "Ehh…is that it?" he asked.
Naruto sensed movement directly behind him. He grinned. "I'm just getting started, dattebayo!"
Sakura flew right above his head with her fist cocked back. She yelled in anger as she sailed towards the surprised ninja. "Take this!"
The masked man yelped in surprise and body flickered away. Sakura hit the ground with the force of paper bomb, which was pretty tame considering what else she could do.
Kakashi and Sai landed near Naruto. Kakashi examined the destruction with a lazy eye. "Sorry, Naruto," Kakashi said, "We got lost on the road of life."
Naruto grinned. "Making crappy excuses as usual Sensei."
"Oh my, that was very close!"
The team looked up to see Tobi standing upside down on a branch. Not a single scratch was seen on his body.
The ninja bent over into a hunching position. "I guess that if you guys are gonna all gang up on me, then I should take this more seriously!" He slapped his palms together to form a seal.
Team 7 visibly tensed, no doubt preparing for an assault. All Akatsuki members were at least Class S criminals, so anyone coming across them should keep on their toes.
The back part of Tobi's cloak flapped down behind him, making it look like he was a frilled lizard. "Hidden Jutsu: Frill-Necked Lizard!"
A healthy pause sifted through the area.
Tobi giggled nervously and rubbed the back of his head. "That's all there is actually…"
Team 7 visibly sweatdropped.
Kakashi got over his initial shock and barked out an order to Sai. "Sai! Call for reinforcements, now!"
Sai nodded and quickly unfurled a huge scroll and laid it flat on the ground. Taking out a paintbrush, Sai quickly sketched out a bird. With a puff of smoke, the bird emerged from the paper and flew towards the village.
Tobi watched it go with an observing eye. He idly pulled out a kunai from his pocket. "Should I kill it?"
"You're not gonna have time to, you bastard!"
A flying Naruto appeared right in front of Tobi, who just stood there with a hand on his hip.
Naruto sailed through the body again. Thinking quickly, Naruto rebounded off a branch and flew towards Tobi from behind.
The masked man moved to one side and kicked Naruto out of the air. "I don't think so!"
Naruto landed with a crash into some bushes.
A kunai embedded itself into the branch next to him. "Huh? What's th-"
A fiery explosion rocked the area, sending countless birds into the air, all of them quite irate that someone blew up their homes.
Sakura pumped her fist victoriously. "I got him!"
A yell behind them captured their attention. "Hello!"
They snapped their heads to the side and caught a view of the masked man energetically waving at them.
Kakashi flashed through a couple hand seals and pointed his hand towards the ground. The sound of chirping birds filled the air and the hand became covered with tendrils of lightning.
Tobi clasped his face in mock horror. "Oh no, whatever should I do?!"
"Pray to God for forgiveness would be a nice start," muttered a voice from behind him.
Tobi smiled. A smart move. While Tobi was preoccupied with fighting Naruto, Kakashi had made a shadow clone to sneak up behind him. But it wasn't smart enough.
Kakashi cocked his hand back. "Chidori!"
The lightning-covered hand headed straight for Tobi's exposed back. I have him now! thought Kakashi.
The body disappeared from existence.
Kakashi uttered a surprise grunt as his fist decimated the branch in front of him. He quickly canceled the jutsu and looked around.
His Sharingan detected movement a couple meters away from him.
Tobi rubbed his head. "Well, it looks like I made a mistake. I played with you guys for too long and now there's a couple ANBU coming this way."
Team 7 breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, some reinforcements. Then they could beat this guy and interrogate him back at Konoha.
There was no way this Tobi could escape either. There were also shinobi converging from behind him, so Tobi wouldn't try to escape. Even with body flicker, the masked man would still be caught.
Unless this man knew space-time ninjutsu even better that the Fourth Hokage's, he wouldn't get very far.
The problem was, this man knew some strange technique that allowed him to escape.
"Well…I'm going to leave…Goodbye!"
Something strange began to happen. The man's body began to suck in on itself, much like a whirlpool, with the center of it being his eyehole. It looked as if a black hole was contained inside of his head other than an eye.
"Oh no you don't!" Kakashi uttered. He focused for a split second. When he looked at the escaping ninja, his Sharingan was now shaped like a shuriken. "Kamui!"
This jutsu was almost impossible to escape from. Trying to escape from this attack was like trying to steal ramen from Naruto. Absolutely difficult.
Kakashi focused his attention on the enemy-nin's arm in a bid to tear it off. We have him now.
That is, he would have had him if not for the blonde shinobi barreling through the bushes at the last second.
"You're not going anywhere you bastard!" Naruto yelled, a kunai tightly gripped in hand.
It happened too quickly. Kakashi couldn't cancel to jutsu in time. Even if he did cancel it, the resulting vortex would have very well killed Naruto, seeing how his body was the centerpiece of it at the moment.
Kakashi had no choice but to continue the jutsu. After all, this tore off Deidara's arm before, and he barely survived. Kakashi very much doubted that Naruto would survive from this attack if he canceled the jutsu.
When Kakashi had been trying to disable the Akatsuki member, he made his vortex turn the opposite direction of the other's vortex in order to try and cancel it. In other words, the jonin was trying to turn the other ninja's vortex the other direction, much like trying to overpower a doorknob to turn the other way (if this is a confusing explanation, I'm sorry, but I don't know how else to phrase it.
But because of Naruto's rashness, Kakashi was forced to turn it the same direction of Tobi's in fear of tearing apart Naruto.
Sorry Naruto… Kakashi thought as Naruto slowly disappeared in the vortex. Forgive me…
Naruto vanished, as did the Akatsuki member.
Kakashi stood on the branch dumbly as ANBU members landed around him.
One of them, wearing a cat mask, looked at him quizzically. "Sir, are you alright?"
Kakashi's eyes were shaking in fear, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. "Tsunade's gonna kill me…and when I die, Jiraiya-sama, Minato-sensei, and Kushina are gonna kill me again…"
The ANBU squad exchanged puzzled looks.

Many dimensions away, a group of four color-coded girls steadily made their way across a courtyard to their dorm.
It was nighttime in the Kingdom of Vale, and the girls were eager to sleep, study, read a book, or start a party with a bang. Or in one girl's case, starting a party with a Yang.
That was all about to change in an instant.
A huge boom captured their attention, and they very faintly registered a body falling out of nowhere from the sky.
They all looked in shock and tried to register what had just happened.
The red-clothed girl reacted first. "Come on Guys, we gotta help whoever that was!"
The white-clothed girl retaliated. "No, Ruby, the Emerald Forest is too dangerous at this time of nig-"
That was all she said before the red-clothed girl disappeared in a flash of rose petals.
Weiss stomped her foot in annoyance. "Gah, the idiocy of that dolt of a leader!"
With a boost from several glyphs, Weiss zoomed after her team leader.
The remaining two girls looked at each other amusedly. Well, at least the blonde girl was. Blake was just looking at Yang with a condescending look on her face. Yang laughed. "Don't worry about Ruby, Blakey, she's been killin' Grimm since she was 12. Let's go!"
With that, the bumblebee duo chased after the disappearing rose and heiress.
Later on that night, they would find someone with a curious case of not knowing what the heck just happened to him and listing a place none of them have ever heard of. Where exactly was this Konoha?
(-)
Well, that's gonna be it for today! I was planning on typing a bit lot more, but I got too lazy.
Sorry for the long delay, I was busy writing down the plot for this story and how to make it more realistic.
Also, about halfway through this, I realized that Naruto fought Tobi first and then fought Pein, but I was too lazy to change it. Just deal with it for now.
Lastly, my next update will take a while cause of finals and stuff. Give me like a month or two.
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed, and I look forward to reading what you guys think! See ya next time, dattebayo!
