A lame test.

"To think Beacon would have such a lame way to pick partners... first person I make eye contact with my ass. Could this test be anymore boring?"

Naruto flew through the sky, having been launched from a launchpad far above the ground with his hands in his pockets. He needed a landing strategy apparently as part of the test, a way to land on the ground safely. He could see what other people were doing to land, and while they seemed to all be landing pretty safely... Naruto didn't really have or want a landing strategy.

His strategy was hitting the ground.

The ground was a mere few dozen meters away and closing... and with that Naruto hit the ground hard enough that his body put a crater in the ground. Naruto landed back first and started to skid, slowing down to a stop when his skull hit a tree. The tree's trunk shattered, before it started to fall down away from Naruto. Naruto jumped onto his feet and took a hand to his hair, dusting out the tree splinters his hard head had created. Naruto cracked his neck, before he took to walking in a random direction.

"I'm going to find something to fight... that Schnee boy looks like fun. I might go kill-" Naruto stopped himself from that line of thought. "-beat half to death that boy. He seems like he would put up a decent fight." Naruto's correction was merely not killing, if he saw the boy then for sure he would fight him. He would try not to kill any of the students at the academy if he could help it.

He didn't kill innocents if he could help it after all, nor did he kill weaklings unless they tried to kill him first.

A loud roar rang through the forest, shaking the trees and causing all of the animals to go fleeing out of the area.

A powerful roar indeed.

Naruto changed his target as he walked towards where the roar was coming from. His hands in his pockets, no hurry as he walked. He doubted anyone in the forest would be able to defeat a creature that caused the while forest to shake just by roaring. Though, it would be best if he got to the creature first before anyone else did, at least attempt to reduce the amount of casualties if at all possible. Everyone in the forest had the potential to grow stronger... and stronger meant there would be more strong opponents for him to fight in the future.

"Hey Naruto."

"I noticed you were following me on the way down, I guess you wanted to make sure we were partners, eh Midget?" Naruto asked Sakura as he glanced towards a tree branch. She was staring down at him from above with a saddened look on her face.

"You really don't remember me?" Sakura asked Naruto as she jumped down and landed nearby him.

Naruto shrugged.

"I remember putting you in the dirt yesterday, though if you're asking if I remember my past life-" Naruto spoke, and Sakura gasped when he used that wording. Naruto tapped the side of his head with a small grin on his face.

"Kurama."

"Yep, I can't make my mom proud of I'm a goody-goody... So I asked the voice in my head, Kurama, to stop my memories from coming back. From the few vague memories I have... I was pretty soft on killing? I can't have that attitude holding me back now." Naruto waved off the desire to get back his memories. He didn't remember them, so he didn't know what kind of person he was in the memories. From the very few things he kind of remembered though, he had been extremely strong... stronger than he was now... but he had an extremely soft heart that refused to kill most enemies.

He couldn't have that if he was to lead a bandit tribe.

Sakura's eyes were widened.

"So you do remember." Sakura walked next to Naruto with her face showing serious consideration towards him.

Once more, he surprised her.

Only Naruto was the type of person who would completely seal off his own memories of his past life, ignoring the past and walking forward.

"Vague... I remember emotions, I remember love and hate... but faces, names, events... I don't remember those. I'm guessing we were sent here for a mission?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow, since he knew that he wasn't the only person if Sakura being around and knowing he had past memories meant anything.

Sakura nodded.

"Yes, you, me, Sai, and Sasuke were all sent her to destroy-" She stopped when Naruto raised his hand and stopped her.

"I'll help you, but I don't care about the details. I'm a WMD, you just point me at something and pull the trigger. I'll take care of the rest. Also, walk faster, you're too slow." Naruto spoke seeing Sakura and her small legs falling behind. She was struggling to keep up with him at a neutral pace, and he refused to slow down for her.

The weak fell behind.

Sakura moved into a jog to keep up with him.

"Easy for you to say, unlike you and Sasuke, my soul entered a younger body. Also, put a shirt on, not everyone needs to see your chest at all times." Sakura told Naruto with a look at his half naked body.

Didn't he have a sense of decency?

Naruto sighed.

This was goingn to be annoying.

"I don't like shirts, there are only two people I love on this world... and I won't even put a shirt on for either of them." Naruto mentioned in passing.

That confused Sakura.

"... But you're overflowing with love, even now I can feel the amount of love inside of you. I can barely sense any hatred for... well anything in you. You can try to hide how much you love people behind that attitude problem of yours, but you are still Naruto at heart... your have more love than you know what to do with." Sakura was confused at how Naruto could only show love for two people, when she could literally feel all of the love that he had inside of him. His aura was so bright and golden, just like his chakra, that it was like she was looking into the sun.

His aura was warm and comforting, like being hugged, but since most people could not sense aura naturally, it would be pretty hard to tell how warm Naruto's heart really was.

Naruto looked at Sakura with angry eyes.

"I'm a cold hearted killing machine." Naruto told her darkly.

Sakura smirked at him.

"I can read you like a book, even now. The fact you love people scares you, so you pretend to be some uncaring bastard. I bet if I jumped off of this cliff here, you would save me." Sakura pointed out as they came to ruins situated at the side of a cliff.

She came to a stop at the edge, turned around, and sent Naruto a look of confidence.

...

Naruto kicked her off the edge.

"Yeah, fine, I love people. I love my family... you aren't my family, but you did piss me off." Naruto admitted, and seeing as he just murdered the only person that would ever here his statement of love.

"Heard that."

"I will push you back off that cliff." Naruto commented dully when he saw Sakura climb back up.

Sakura nodded her head.

"Yeah... Still, you barely have any hate in you. My point still stands, you don't hate the people you fight." Sakura mentioned to him with a grin.

Yes, she had judged him wrong, but she could still easily see he was filled with more love than hate, even with the way he treated people, he didn't hate them. He just did not love the people he treated badly.

Naruto could admit to that.

"Everything I hate has a bad habit of dying once I start hating it, to be fair." Naruto told her.

Sakura gulped.

Okay, that statement was damn terrifying.

I kill everything I hate, and when I kill it I don't hate it anymore.

Naruto's statement translated into the fact that he wasn't filled with hate, because there was nothing strong enough to survive his hate. He learned not to hate, because he had killed so much that he learned hatred was pointless.

It would be smart not to get on his bad side.

"... That's a big grimm." Sakura pointed out when she looked behind Naruto at the huge shadow that was being cast over him.

Naruto grinned and looked up.

"... Well shit, thanks mom. I don't... portals duh, teleporting this grimm all the way to the Emerald Forest. Looks like I can get some much needed revenge." Naruto calmly spoke as the massive grimm raised up a long arm, getting ready to strike him.

At least he didn't have to go looking for a fight.

It came to him.
