Sasuke explained everything about his chakra and his semblance in extreme detailed.

"So, what you're saying is that your eyes did that?" Nora chirped, pointing dramatically at her own eye, her voice a mix of awe and curiosity.

"How exactly does it work?" Yang leaned forward, her eyes gleaming with interest.

"TELL US MORE!" Ruby sprang from her seat, practically bouncing in excitement, her voice echoing through the room.

Weiss remained calm and collected, her gaze fixed intently on Sasuke, analyzing every word he said.

Sasuke couldn't help but feel a bead of sweat trickle down his temple. He hadn't expected this level of intrigue from the group. He sighed deeply before standing, facing the curious eyes of Team RWBY and JONR.

"I utilize Chakra," Sasuke began, his voice steady but carrying the weight of decade-old knowledge. 

"It's a form of spiritual energy, similar to your Aura, but with its own complexities and potential.. What I did there, was a genjutsu. I was able to perform Illusions to targets and make them perceive things that aren't true. Back there, I used my Sharingan to control someone momentarily.." Sasuke then showed them his signature Red eye.  

"Though it has a time limit when doing so, so I can't control the victim forever. It strained my eye when doing it.. The thing is, she remembered everything that happened. She's probably already reported this situation to Atlas base itself." Sasuke bluntly explained as he sighed.

Everyone in the gang was flabbergasted.

"T-then we'd be caught right after Atlas radar spots us!?" Yang spoke with surprise. Did Sasuke lead them to their doom?

"Does the pilot know..?" Weiss spoke as her voice was low and soft.

"Do not worry. The pilot's my clone." Sasuke reassured everyone as they widened their eyes. No matter how long they've spent time with Sasuke, he always finds ways to surprise everybody.

"S-since when?!" Ruby asked.

"As soon as we got to Argus, I sent out a clone of myself to the nearest Atlas post. I've already devised a plan for us from the very start." Sasuke crossed his arms.

"How discerning of you." Weiss sighed in relief.

"Well played, kid. You know, you're not the only one who has Chakra." A voice came from the back, gruff yet tinged with a hint of nostalgia. The group turned to see Maria Calavera, the old lady who had been quietly observing from the shadows. Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly, uncertain of what she was implying.

"What are you trying to imply?" Sasuke asked, his tone calm but inquisitive.

*Gasp* "You have Chakra too?" Nora gasped in surprise.

Maria chuckled, a raspy sound that hinted at years of wisdom and experience. "No no. I don't have Chakra. I used to be a huntress. A famous one, at that. I fought alongside a blind warrior, like me, who also used Chakra. I may have also forgotten to introduce myself properly. Name's Maria Calavera."

The name struck a chord with everyone present. Maria Calavera, the Grimm Reaper, was a legend—her exploits and feats were taught in history classes at Beacon Academy. All eyes turned to her with a mix of respect and awe.

As if on cue, the door behind Maria slided open, revealing Qrow, who had overheard the conversation from the other room. He stepped forward, his face a mixture of surprise and admiration.

"You're the Grimm Reaper!" Qrow exclaimed, his voice filled with a rare sense of excitement.

Maria smirked, clearly used to such reactions. "That's what they called me, yes."
