Guiding the Way Chapter One: Addition of U

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or RWBY, they are owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Rooster Teeth respectively.

The Fourth Shinobi World War was finally at its end. The war was fought by several nations across the lands of the Elemental but in the end the United Alliance of the five main Nations overcame Madara Uchiha and his revived army of soldiers.

And a large portion of the victory was due to one man…

Naruto Uzumaki sighed as he stood up on the main battlefield tired. He felt like he was exhausted to death but he still kept his smile plastered on his face. Only seconds before the blond had defeated Madara Uchiha due to a secret jutsu he had learned on instant by his Bjiu the "Nine Tailed Fox" Kurama.

"So what were the drawbacks of that jutsu again?" Naruto spoke out loud to his Biju. His response was first a chuckle.

"It was nice knowing you." The Biju simply replied in a solemn tone.

"What do you mean?!" Naruto shouted aloud to his Biju but this time he got no reply. The Uzumaki clutched his head in pain only seconds after getting no reply before he collapsed to the ground and disappeared from the world entirely.

-Break-

Naruto's eyes fluttered open allowing his cerulean eyes to view the world in front of him. He stood up and motioned his head in several directions to see he was in a forest but unusually not the ones outside of Konoha.

"Where the hell am I?" He questioned as he clutched his head in pain. His eyes scanned around a second time until he looked below him to see what looked like a very old looking sign that had been put into the ground several years ago.

Welcome to the Emerald Forest: BEWARE OF GRIMMS!

"Emerald Forest? Grimms?" He once again questioned before inwardly groaning. 'I remember the drawbacks again.' The Uzumaki thought with a sigh. He closed his eyes as he checked the constant flow of chakra in his body. 'No chakra.' He closed his eye trying to enter his mindscape to no avail. 'No Kurama.'

The Uzumaki looked at his surrounding once again. If all the other drawbacks were true then the last and final one had to have also been true. The Uzumaki was now in a new world.

He cringed at the thoughts of being away from all his friends especially after being able to finally live in peace with his friends without the thought of war on everyone's mind.

It was then that several sounds were heard in the forest causing the blond to turn his head towards the sound of a person shouting? For seconds he listened as several others entered the forest through the air. He sighed seeing as he had no clue where he was.

'Maybe I can find one of those people and ask them where I am." He thought before walking deeper in the forest.

"I still haven't seen any of those other people." He groaned in boredom. While he still couldn't get answers he was also getting amazingly bored. He was still wandering the forest. Abruptly the Uzumaki's body tensed as he heard something whiz through the forest.

His head snapped to his left as he finally had a view of what was flying through the air, a red javelin. The object continued its path in the air before shortly falling down and heading straight for Naruto.

"What the…" The blond began as he simply tilted his head to the side allowing the javelin to pass right beside him grazing his cheeks in the process. He removed the weapon form the tree and examined it.

Though he had no time to dawdle in thought of the object when he heard the rustling of bushes in the area and in response Naruto shifted into his guard.

"Jaune is that you?" He heard a feminine voice call out from the bushes. Out from the bushes came out a woman with red hair tied in a pony tail which reached her waist. Her green stared back into his blue ones with curiosity written on her face and top it off she had bronze armor. They stared at each other for a few seconds in an awkward silence.

The Uzumaki sheepishly scratched his head breaking the silence. "So this must be your weapon." He said as he handed her the javelin. She nodded her head as she took her weapon back.

"Thanks I'm Pyrrha Nikos." She cheerfully announced with a smile. "Sorry if my javelin caused you any problems."

"Nothing but a small cut." Naruto replied with a grin and pointed to the cut. "Naruto Uzumaki by the way."

"Sorry about that." She apologized genuinely a second time. "I guess we're partners now too."

"Huh?" Naruto bluntly replied in a dumbfounding tone.

"The rules of the initiation." She replied. "You are a student of Beacon right?" She questioned looking at him once again curious.

"I'm a foreigner of sorts." Naruto replied once again sheepishly scratching his head.

"Well maybe the Professor can help you but first I have to find my way to the relic temple…" She cheerfully assured before her eyes widened. "Jaune!" She shouted in shock and ran off back off into the forest.

"Hey hold up!" Naruto shouted back to the girl running after her. "Who's Jaune?" He asked her after easily catching up with her.

"He's someone I met a while back though I didn't think he could land the fall so I threw my javelin. I didn't mean it to land near you." She told him while they ran.

"Was he the person who screamed a while back?" Naruto quickly asked. She nodded her head as they continued moving through the forest. He grinned "Then I'm pretty sure I know where he is." He told her and grabbed her hand. The girl's eyes widened when she saw Naruto run through the forest at fast speeds. Moments later the Uzumaki ceased his run as he looked up at a very large tree. "That him?"

"Yea, Jaune are you okay?!" Pyrrha shouted. The now confirmed Jaune was up on the large than average tree hanging only by a branch.

Jaune was a blond messy haired boy with blue eyes. He wore white chest plate and shoulder armor. To top it all off he had reddish orange sleeves along with blue pants.

"Not really!" The blond shouted back. Pyrrha grabbed her spear and motioned to throw it towards Jaune only to have it stopped by Naruto.

"I'm not sure if that the safest idea." Naruto said causing the red haired beauty to set down her spear.

"I guess you're right." She replied after slowly thinking about it, it would've been a long fall to the ground especially if they couldn't catch him.

"I have an idea." The Uzumaki spoke and began running towards the tree. He only made a short ways up before falling back down to the ground. "Right no chakra." The blond sighed. Pyrrha raised her eyebrow but didn't ask about it as they had bigger things to worry about.

"A little help here!" Jaune shouted from the tree.

"We're trying!" Pyrrha shouted back. "Any other ideas Naruto?" She asked the former jinchuriki.

He nodded to her and smiled before once again running up the tree once again. But instead of falling he jumped towards another tree and another in a wall err… tree jumping fashion. He continued the process up till he reached the blond who he quickly grabbed and fell back to the ground. Naruto placed him on the ground before helping his fellow blond back up.

"Thanks for the save." Jaune said as he accepted the blond's help back up. "I haven't seen you around. I'm Jaune Arc."

"No problem, Naruto Uzumaki by the way." Naruto replied with a grin.

"Sorry Jaune I meant to help you by throwing my weapon at you but I missed." Pyrrha apologized.

"No big deal." Jaune replied to her apology.

Naruto lightly punched Pyrrha shoulder. "Pyrrha I've only known you for a few minutes and I already know one thing about you... you apologize too much." Pyrrha lightly giggled at what he said before she realized that it was kind of true.

"Guys." Jaune called to them as he slowly back up.

"Huh?" Naruto replied to him. His fellow blond pointed backwards with a shaky arm. Naruto titled his head backwards to see what he was talking about. "Oh crap." Naruto said aloud as looked at the sight.

A shriek was heard throughout the entire forest… a rather feminine one.

"I think some girl is in trouble? You did you hear that Blake?" A long haired blond said to someone next to her.

"I think it might've come from pretty close here." The black haired teen known as Blake replied and nodded. The sound of constant running in the area was heard only seconds before a roar.

"I think the sound's coming…" The blond woman began before she looked to see several people run out from the tree diverse part of the forest. "Closer." The blond finished with a deadpan.

"Did they just come out of the forest with a lot of Ursa right behind them?" The black haired openly asked.

Naruto slugged a fist across the Grimm bear before turning around a dodging a slash. Pyrrha threw her shield in a circular cutting motion in order to slash several of the grim beasts head off and Jaune was trying his best run away from the beasts.

"I haven't seen you here foxy." The blond haired teen said also noting Naruto whisker birthmarks. Said person ignored her to continue fighting the Ursa.

"I'm not sure it's the time for that Yang." Her partner quickly replied to her action and pulled out an oversized cleaver with a sharp edge.

"Isn't that a bit overkill." Naruto commented on her choice of weapon.

"Maybe." She replied and Naruto looked at her face to see a slight smirk complimenting her yellow cat-like eyes.

"Hey Pyrrha, where's Jaune?" Naruto asked his red haired companion.

"I thought you were with him." She replied while slashing another Ursa across the torso. Another shriek of terror was heard from a cave.

"I think I've found him." Yang commented as she pointed to the cave.

"You don't say." Naruto sarcastically replied causing Yang to smirk. The cave front burst open as a scorpion exited with a certain blonde right on its stinger.

"If there would be a good time to run I think it would be now." Naruto said after seeing the scorpion and looking between it and the horde of Ursa. The other three quickly followed in his lead as he ran the opposite direction of the death stalker.

"Any ideas?" Yang asked.

"Well first off we have to get Jaune." Pyrrha stated to the agreement of the others.

"Already taken care of." Naruto assured and he flipped himself around and rushed at the death stalker. He narrowly dodged it's stingers before jumping on the death stalker and grabbing his fellow blond. Naruto set him on the ground allowing him to run off while he grabbed the death stalker's stinger and pulled it. The death stalker roared as it came toppling down.

"That's some freakish strength you have there." Jaune commented on Naruto's feat with wide eyes.

"Maybe but It's not going to keep it down forever." Naruto replied as he kept running alongside Jaune. Jaune clutched his knees as he breathed deeply.

"I guess we've gotten pretty far from it for now." Jaune said between several deep breaths.

"Maybe we should find the others before it comes backs." Blake spoke it was taken in agreement from everyone except Naruto who was still slightly confused.

"How many others are there?"

"Four." Yang commented before a roar towards the sideline caught their attention. A single Ursa stood and roared before a pink blast from behind cause it to topple down. An orange haired girl rolled of the back of the grim creature.

"Awww… it broke." An orange haired girl said with a pout, she jumped on the deceased carcass and looked down at it. Shortly afterwards a man in a green attire strolled in with a sigh.

"Nora! Never do that again!" The man shouted to the girl with a sigh, though he looked to see her not there anymore.

"Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?" Blake once again asked.

"Yep." Naruto simply confirmed before looking back at Blake. "You just love stating the obvious don't you?" He asked Blake who slightly smiled back at him with a nod.

"I'm the queen of the castle! I'm the queen of the castle!" Nora shouted keeping her bubbly tone as she grabbed a chess piece.

"Nora!"

"Coming Ren!" And with that the bubbly Nora skipped back to Ren.

"Two others left." Yang deadpanned once again.

"Heads up!" Another scream was heard from above causing everyone to bring their heads up.

"Yang isn't that your sister?" Blake in a sarcastic monotone.

"Yep." Yang replied as she sweatdropped at the sight above her.

"And she's on a nevermore." Blake once again sarcastically questioned. Yang simply nodded this time and everybody ducked as the oversized bird swooped in towards the group.

"Yang!" The black haired girl shouted to her sister now off the nevermore.

"Ruby!" Yang shouted back to her and motioned to hug her sister.

"Nora!" Nora shouted with an ever bubbly voice getting in the middle of the hug causing everyone to sweat drop.

"Well that was a much unexpected turn of events." Jaune sighed. "I think it's circling us!" Jaune shouted with panic creeping out his voice.

"Think you can take it down foxy?" Yang asked to Naruto only to hear no reply.

"Naruto?" Pyrrha called only to also get no reply.

"I think he's on the Nevermore." Blake stated causing everyone to look at the sky once again. Blake words were confirmed true when everyone saw Naruto climbing the Nevermore's talons.

"Weiss I told you to jump!" Ruby shouted now revealing that one other person was on the Nevermore.

"That's a long drop down." Naruto said to Weiss who looked back to him he smirked when the girl looked up to him slightly annoyed.

"Don't just sit there help me!" She shouted with a haughty tone but also had some panic.

"Sure." Naruto simply said, He grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

"I want to ride it!" Nora shouted with a pout looking up at the Nevermore as if it was a toy.

The trees of the forest shook as the group's eyes moved from the sky to the ground. A roar rang across the land as a very familiar stinger came into view.

"It's back." Jaune commented with a groan. "Maybe we should start running again."

"What about Naruto and Weiss?" Pyrrha commented with agreement from everybody.

"Naru-who?" Ruby questioned.

"The blond guy on the nevermore." Yang answered her younger sister.

"They could jump." Nora said still in lively tone despite the situation.

"I don't think that's possible with how violent the nevermore's getting." Blake commented on the solution. It was true, looking up the group saw Naruto and Weiss struggling to hang on to the nevermore who was shaking and spinning in all directions like some crazy trance.

Jaune gulped as he looked at the Death Stalker which was right in front of him. "Well either way since we have nothing planned we soon kind of run!" Jaune shouted as he barely dodged an attack from it stinger.

"So you want to jump first or me?" Naruto questioned Weiss who looked towards Remnant's surface again.

"Are you crazy! We're straight above a bridge." She shouted as she looked at the blond.

"If you're worried about the chances of landing then look straight." Naruto said as he pointed to a Cliffside with a strained look at his face. They were heading straight for that cliff side! Naruto let go of the Nevermore and pulled a still hesitant Weiss with him.

"They're falling." Blake said as she looked upwards.

Naruto grinned slightly as the air made contact with his face before he turned it into a serious demeanor. He patiently waited for the bridge to be within range and grabbed its side with his one hand. Looking down he could already see the eagle grim falling to its death down the white abyss.

He looked downwards to still see Weiss in his grasp. The Schnee heir looked at the Uzumaki in annoyance.

"That was a very idiotic move." She said as she climbed on Naruto to get on the bridge surface.

"Well it was either that or become one with a cliff." He said, he would've sheepishly scratched his head but his hands were kind of full… literally.

After Weiss had gotten back on the bridge Naruto made his own way up and groaned when he saw the Death Stalker right behind the group of running people. The blond cracked his knuckles with a smirk.

"Uh Naruto why aren't you running?" He heard Jaune ask while he ran the opposite direction of them towards the Death Stalker. Once again he jumped on the scorpion and grabbed its stinger and pulled it. The scorpion shrieked as it felt its legs leave the bridge's surface.

Though the scorpion wasn't falling towards the white abyss alone because attached to his stinger was one blond whiskered teen.

"Oh shit." Naruto simply cursed as he saw the bridge fading away slowly.

As Naruto fell he could see a faint black object reach towards him and grab onto a piece of his ruined jumpsuit and pull him back up. The blond sighed in relief as he made his way back up. It had turned out that Blake's weapon had a hook form which was used to pull him back up.

"Well that's a thing." Yang said with relief that it was over.

"Thanks." Naruto thanked Blake and the teen gave an understanding nod back.

"That was also very idiotic." Weiss began as she looked at Naruto. "I'm starting to think all blonds are idiots." A strange silence found its way to the group for several seconds.

"Hey!" The three blonds of the group shouted finally realizing the insult.

-Break-

'The academy back at Konoha has nothing on this!' Naruto said in slight awe. He had to admit the academy was an amazing sight to look at it was as if it was designed for perfection. Naruto was dragged out of his thoughts when he finally realized that he was at the initiation room.

"So do you have any idea where you are now?" A voice called from behind. Naruto turned around to see Pyrrha.

"I guess so but he doesn't have any clue where I came from." Naruto said with a slight sigh at the thought of Konoha again. He simply had tild Ozpin that he was foreigner who had accidentally found his way to Vale. Overall, though there was no way the Proffeser could help.

She frowned at his slightly depressed action. "So what are you going to do now?"

"He did give me choice of joining the academy." Naruto said with a grin. "So now I'm an official student at Beacon now." Pyrrha smiled before they joined back with the group to hear the finish of Ozpin's team picks.

"Due to the odd number of students this year this team will have five members. Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Valkyrie, and Naruto Uzumaki. You five retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day on, you will work together as Team JUNPR."

Naruto smiled as he looked at the new team he was in. Pyrrha smiled at the team, Ren seemed very anonymous about the team, Nora was hugging Ren, and Jaune was sighing in relief that there were at least two people in the group he could work well with.

"Led by Jaune Arc!" If anything during the day had caught Naruto by surprise this sure did.

"L-Led by?" He slowly made out in shock.

"Don't worry Jaune you'll be a great leader." Naruto assured grinning along with Pyrrha who shoulder bumped there new leader. Naruto laughed as Jaune fell to the ground along with much of the audience before helping his friend up.

"And finally, Blake Belladonna, Ruby rose, Weiss Schnee, Yang Xiao Long. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward you will work together as Team RWBY. Led by… Ruby Rose!"

Naruto once again smiled before getting lost in thought.

'I think I'm going to enjoy my time here.' He grinned as he looked at the two team conversing. 'Yep.'

A/N: Well that's a wrap. After finishing Volume 1 of RWBY and seeing that it's Xovers with Naruto were so little I decided to make my own and contribute to it. Updates may be a little bit slower or fast on this one but probably the latter since the chapters will usually only be 1k-2k words max. Now onto things about the actual story itself.

Naruto going into another world… Cliché, Drawbacks of jutsu causing Naruto to enter new world… cliché. I know it does seem overused but I decided to do this instead of a born into world Naruto for some reason that will be stated further along the course of the story.

Yes, you read correctly Naruto is a part of Team JNPR not RWBY. I decided to do this to see actually how I could change the flow of events. He actually saw Pyrrha first anyway. The name will still be Juniper since I added a U now making it JUNPR. Hopefully with this Team JUNPR will have a much larger role in this first half of season 1.

Next I apologize if anything seemed awkward but if you know how I write my first chapters you know that I have the tendency of typing the first chapter in awkward way but afterwards I find some common ground to work with the characters and story.

Now many of you may be wondering about pairings in this story and I am obliged to announce that this will be a Naruto x… harem! I'll try my best to make it as believable as possible as well . As for who's in the harem that'll be a secret for now (At least for the first couple of chapters.)

Finally Naruto will be using aura but he'll have to learn how to use it. His chakra has been converted into aura but he will have to learn how to use it. While both Chakra and Aura are the energies of the Naruto and RWBY world respectively they have different rules meaning not only will Naruto have to relearn it… he will have a semblance! Not spoilers though.

Thanks for reading guys! Make sure to review and don't be afraid to point out mistakes of any kind but please no flames! See ya!
