The Tale Of Sasuke Uchiha: A RWBY Story

Chapter Twenty Four - Search & Destroy

As Sasuke and Team RWBY joined Doctor Oobleck on the mission, they soon learn that the area they were clearing was a failed settlement called Mountain Glenn. Within the abandoned city, it had become a hotspot for Grimm activity along with suspected criminal activity. When they landed near the city, Oobleck led Sasuke and Team RWBY off the airship.

Oobleck: Ladies and gentleman! You still may be students, but as of this moment, your first mission as Huntresses has begun! From this point forward, you need to do exactly as I say! Do you understand?

Oobleck then notices Ruby carrying a bag.

Oobleck: Ruby! I thought I told you to leave all of your bags back at school.

Ruby: But, uh, you hadn't told us to listen to you yet. So I didn't.

Oobleck: (She's not wrong...) Very well, Ruby; leave your bag here, we can pick it up upon our return.

Ruby: But I, well uh-

Sasuke glanced to Ruby's bag to see movement. It didn't take long for Razer to deduce what was in the bag.

Sasuke: Did you bring your dog with you?

Ruby: Wait what....

Oobleck: Young lady, what in the world could you possibly have in that bag that could be so important to bring it with...

As Oobleck says this, the zipper on Ruby's back opens as Zwei pops his head out. Upon seeing this, Sasuke was simply puzzled by this.

Oobleck: We're here to investigate an abandoned urban jungle teeming with death and hostility, and you brought... a dog?

Ruby: I, uh...

Oobleck: Genius! Canines are historically known for their perceptive nose and heightened sense of sound, making them excellent companions for a hunt such as ours!

Blake: So, what are your orders, Doctor?

Oobleck: Ah, yes, straight to the chase; I like it! As you've been informed, the southeast area has been marked as a recent hot spot for Grimm activity. Now, there are several possible explanations for this behavior, one of which being... Grimm.

Ruby: Uh, what?

Oobleck: Grimm. A creature of Grimm approximately one hundred yards from us at this very moment.

Yang: What?!

Soon enough, a Beowolf could be seen wondering into the street. Team RWBY was about to attack, Oobleck stops them while Sasuke activated his Sharingan.

Sasuke: Why are we not attacking?

Oobleck: There are a number of reasons why Grimm will congregate in this particular area, the most likely of which will be their attraction to negativity: sadness, envy, loneliness, hatred. All qualities that are likely held by our hidden group harboring ill intent.

Ruby: So... What now?

Oobleck: We wait. We track. If this specimen leads us to its pack, that pack may subsequently lead us to our prey.

Blake: How long do we wait?

Oobleck: It's uncertain. Hours, days, weeks. Why, lone Grimm have been known to stay isolated from the pack for months - and there's the whole pack.

As Oobleck said this, five more Grimm Beowolves appear. Immediately after this, the Huntsmen are spotted. Immediately, Sasuke prepared his sword.

Sasuke: That's going to be problematic.

Yang: What's the plan, then?

Ruby: We show everyone what we can do!

With that, a fierce battle broke out between the Huntsmen and the Grimm. As Sasuke took the fight to the Grimm, he observed how Team RWBY coordinated their attack. Seeing the way they fought and work together him. Suddenly, the last Beowulf attacked Sasuke. Sasuke quickly responds by slashing the Beowolf with his sword. As the Grimm howls in pain, Sasuke lunges at Beowulf and unleashes a powerful Chidori strike on the Grimm. The Grimm was quickly killed by the Chidori strike. Sasuke quickly noticed that his Chidori was stronger than it was before. Sasuke quickly deduced that this was in fact due to the Curse Mark. While the Seal placed by Ozpin kept the Curse Mark restrained, he could still feel the Curse Mark granting him power. His mind then falls back to the warning that Ozpin gave him in regards to the Curse Mark.

Ozpin(Past): As long as you don't use the Curse Mark, the seal will keep the Curse Mark dormant. But no matter what happens, do NOT use the Curse Mark. Whatever promises it may yield, it is not worth being Orochimaru's slave. 

Sasuke said nothing as he moved on. After killing the Grimm, Sasuke regrouped with Team RWBY and Oobleck.

Oobleck: Excellent work, students! Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any signs of criminal operations in this sector. Oh, well! Moving on!

Yang: Hey, Doc, y'know, I was actually looking forward to seeing a "pro Huntsman" in action. Like, fighting, or at least, helping us fight?

Oobleck: Ah, but I am in action! Scouring the ruins of this once-great city for any signs of irregularity! Not every mission is filled with daring and heroism. Sometimes it's just a heightened form of extermination! Remember, this is a job, and you all signed up for it. I do hope you understand that.

Yang: O....of course!

Sasuke: A battle is a battle.

Oobleck: Hmm....

With that, the Huntsmen moved forward with their mission. On the way, Oobleck asked the members of Team RWBY why they wished to become Huntresses. The answers they gave were less than satisfactory. As the group moved forward, Oobleck speaks to the young Huntresses in training. At some point, Oobleck spoke to Sasuke.

Oobleck: Sasuke, why do you want to be a Huntsman?

As Oobleck asked Sasuke this, his mind immediately fell on Itachi.

Sasuke: To avenge my family and kill the one responsible for killing them.

Oobleck took note of Sasuke's answer, knowing exactly what Sasuke was talking about.

Ruby: Sorry! Uh... Are we ready to keep going?

Oobleck: Nope! I believe that will have to do for today. It's going to be dark soon. You three, set up camp in that building. Oh, and please do make sure there are no more of those... creatures. Your leader and I are going to secure the perimeter. Come, Ruby.

Sasuke simply nod as Oobleck and Ruby went ahead to secure the perimeter while he and the rest of Team RWBY set up camp. With that, Sasuke and Team RWBY made camp outside the mission area while Ruby and Oobleck explored the abandoned city of Mountain Glenn.
