Legacy Reborn (Sasuke x RWBY Sequel)

10 - Resolution

Sasuke led his children into the manor, stepping in first as Katsuro, Mako, and Sarada followed in silence.

Katsuro moved with a calm, almost detached composure, hands casually tucked into his pockets, while Mako's fists remained clenched, his knuckles white with lingering tension from the fight. His cat-ears lay flat against his head, a telltale sign of the turmoil still simmering beneath his silence.

As they entered the living room, Blake's ears perked up at the sound of their footsteps. She turned her gaze toward them, her eyes quickly moving to Sasuke, who returned her glance with a tired sigh.

Weiss, standing nearby, shifted her attention from Sasuke to the children, immediately taking note of the bruise on Mako's nose and the dried streaks of blood under it.

Blake's ears lowered as her expression softened, a hint of worry flashing across her face as she looked at Mako. Her maternal instincts kicked in, her eyes silently asking questions he seemed unwilling to answer.

Sasuke sighed, his gaze drifting between Blake and Mako, reading the room with the honed intuition that came from years of experience.

He could feel the tension radiating from Mako, the concern weighing on Blake, and the silent questions his children held, all adding to the charged atmosphere in the room.

Breaking the silence, Sasuke turned to Blake. "What brings you here?" His voice was calm but curious.

Blake straightened, a subtle shift in her demeanor as she composed herself. "I'm here to discuss something with you... a potential threat to Vale" she replied, a serious edge in her tone.

Sasuke nodded, his expression sharpening. He crossed the room and took a seat on the couch across from Blake, who had already spread a few documents on the table.

Weiss followed suit, settling into the single chair between them, her presence quiet but observant. Katsuro, Mako, and Sarada watched from a short distance, their interest piqued.

Blake placed a file stamped with the symbol of the White Fang on the table. Without a word, Sasuke reached forward, picking it up and flipping through its contents. His brow furrowed as he skimmed the pages, piecing together the gravity of what was outlined within.

He spoke aloud, "The Revenant Order?"

"Yes," Blake confirmed, her voice steady. "They're an organization we've been trying to root out. Originally operating out of Mistral, they've been recruiting heavily among the homeless and disenfranchised, luring them with promises of purpose and power. They're using them to incite chaos across Mistral, which has led to an increase in Grimm attacks over the last several weeks." Her gaze darkened. "Now, our sources indicate that they're setting their sights on Vale. If they succeed, it could destabilize the region entirely."

Sasuke's expression turned serious as he absorbed the information. "So, they're manipulating people who have nowhere else to turn," he murmured. "Using them as pawns to spread fear and disorder, and thereby attracting Grimm."

Blake nodded grimly. "Exactly. And it's more than just scattered unrest—they're strategic about it, almost militaristic. They've been targeting specific areas, places where the White Fang has little presence, making it harder for us to interfere directly. This isn't just some group of misfits... they're organized and ruthless."

Weiss leaned forward, her face pensive. "So why reach out to us?" she asked.

Blake met Weiss's eyes, understanding the layers to the question. "We know this goes against the grain for both sides, but the Revenant Order is unlike any threat we've faced before. They're highly secretive, and our usual methods haven't made a dent. We need people who can operate beyond the White Fang's reach and reputation." She looked at Sasuke pointedly. "We need people with unique skills... people who don't hesitate to get their hands dirty if it means stopping a greater threat."
