TOMA (a Naruto and RWBY fanfic)

Why it's called Remnant

Naruto emerged from the forest to an incredibly familiar road. He took that path until he fell to his knees...in front of the gate. Here it was, gate closed and everything. He became incredibly excited. 'I'm home! I'm finally home!!!' He opened the doors and stood stiff. Konoha, for the most part, was in ruins. 'This can't be fucking happening! We-we won the war! We had peace!'

Naruto dropped down, nearly slamming his palm into the ground, and sensed for someone, anyone who survived. He got a small, feint chakra signature. There was another shinobi like him! Well, not LIKE him, but you know...alive. He ran towards it, not caring what was in his way, going through the walls of buildings and appeared in front of his childhood dream. The Hokage Tower.

Naruto burst through to where he felt the chakra. He was in the office, "Hello?! I'm not going to hurt anyone! Please, someone, anyone come out!"

There was no response. He walked to the desk and felt the signature coming from a scroll in the somehow still standing desk. The area within a mile of the Hokage tower was all in prestine condition, though that didn't protect it from age. He grabbed the scroll and put it on the floor and activated the seal. There was a poof and before him stood a Asuma Sarutobi look alike. "Asuma?" Naruto asked, surprised.

The look alike himself was stunned until he broke into a wide smile. "Hehehe, come on now. I don't look exactly like him. Besides to be called old by someone older than me sucks...Boss."

Naruto's jaw dropped to the floor. Hard. "KONOHAMARU?!"

"In the flesh!" Konohamaru said with a cheeky grin. "Well...kind of."

Konohamaru nearly popped out of existence when Naruto charged forward and hugged him. The two shared a brief silence before Naruto sniffled and broke away.

"What the hell happened?" Naruto asked, sitting in a chair that was stable enough to handle his weight.

"You want me to lie to you or do you want the truth?" Konohamaru asked. Naruto actually took time to think about it, leaning forward and running his right hand through his hair.

"Give me the truth." He finally decided.

"...War happened." Konohamaru said seriously. That sentence hit Naruto hard.

"What the hell do you mean?! Sasuke and I beat Kaguya! Even black Zetsu was sealed!" Naruto questioned, trying to understand what happened.

"But the saviors of the war were no longer there. There was no one to reign everyone and reignite compassion. Hearing the saviors were from the leaf village damaged some's pride. It didn't help that some of our own were acting ignorantly and acting like they were better." Konohamaru explained. Naruto balled his fist and looked away.

"After that, there were those who disliked the treaty and broke off from their village. They fell under an old experiment of Orochimaru's."

"Experiment?"

Konohamaru nodded, "Artificial Uchiha's, capable of reaching Mangekyo sharingans. Under their guidance, the rogues attempted to reignite the war by continuing the Akatsuki's work with their own twist."

"They tried to redo the infinite tsukuyomi?"

Konohamaru shook his head, "They tried to bring back the ten tails." This made Naruto jump from his seat.

"WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY DO THAT?! IT COULD DESTROY A VILLAGE WITH ONE BLAST!"

"So could you with your rasenshuriken." Konohamaru added.

"I'm serious!"

"Just saying. Why they did it? No one knows, maybe they thought they could control it, maybe they wanted to destroy the world. They succeeded in taking 7 of the beast, though Kirabi...he didn't make it." Konohamaru said. He continued, "He was outnumbered, all had Mangekyo unlocked. He fought to his dying breath and took out more than half of the artificials. When he died, Gyuki reformed years later as the sole survivor of the tailed beast, besides Kurama of course. The incomplete 10 tails dispersed, finding hosts and becoming what is now called Grimm."

"...Kurama passed as well. He saw me as a heir and dispersed his power to me." Naruto said, depressed. He balled his fist hard enough to draw blood, "If I was stronger, none of this would have happened!" He gritted his teeth.

"Boss, cut that out! We lived! We endured the attacks and look! There are people to this day!" Konohamaru yelled. "Unless there's something you aren't telling me."

Naruto sighed, releasing his fists. "No, there are people...what's the deal with aura?" Naruto asked, changing the subject.

"Well after hearing about the Kaguya fight, we found that chakra wouldn't do, Kami forbid it happened again. From there, we slowly adapted and changed chakra, separating the two into physical and spiritual energy."

"I see, aura being physical, the body that we all have and the semblance being spiritual, because every soul is different." Naruto said, nodding. Konohamaru stood there before he put his hand on Naruto's forehead.

"You ok boss? You've never sounded that smart before, you hit your head?"

"Screw you! I'm still older than you!" Naruto yelled as Konohamaru laughed. Naruto's face turned serious yet again, "You said the saviors weren't here. What happened to Sasuke?"

"You don't know?" Konohamaru asked, a bit shocked.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, we don't know either. We thought he disappeared with you. I was serious when I asked if you didn't know."

Naruto sighed, scratching his head. Konohamaru looked at him with a sad smile. "Boss, the chakra in the seal is running out."

"...I know." Naruto said, returning the same sad smile.

"It really was good to see you one last time." The two fist bumped each other with a determined smile.

"Tell everyone I'm ok, and I'll never forget them."

"I will. Oh, I also got a disciple of my own, his name is-" that was all Konohamaru could get out before his sealed clone popped. Naruto chuckled at the situation while he walked over to the window. He looked out and froze.

"Heh, that cheeky little-"

On the mountain side was the hokage monument. After the first was Kakashi, a blank spot and finally Konohamaru's face. The space in between Kakashi and Konohamaru's face had words carved in that read, 'Reserved for Naruto Uzumaki'.

Naruto wiped a couple of tears from his eyes, smiling brightly as he did. He walked to a still intact bookshelf filled with works of literature and even *ahem*questionable works. He found a book that stuck out to him the most, his godfathers first work, 'The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi'

He pulled the book out and the shelf instantly moved inwards before rotating, revealing ancient samurai armor and a note.

'Boss, if you ever come back, this is for you. It was a gift from Mifune, and now a gift from me.'

Naruto smirked as he opened the case and put on the armor. He walked out of the Hokage building, sad, yet satisfied with his journey. He brought up his hand to swat a fly, but as he did it, green energy shot out of his gauntlets, destroying the fly and a nearby building. He was surprised, but then broke out in a huge smile.

"That cheeky little-"
