As the two walked back to their own offices, neither saw a shadow part from the walls, falling to show a certain blond haired teen.
'It's funny, Ozpin reminds me not only of Kakashi-sensei but Sarutobi-jiji (Old Man/Grandpa Sarutobi) as well.'
'Yes, yes I get it kit, there are so many parallels between here and Konoha. Enough now. I'm tired and would like to lay on a comfortable bed for once,' Kurama huffed.
Naruto just stuck his tongue at Kurama, 'Yeah, yeah, whatever you lazy ball of fur.'
Finally after a long day of boring and useless, to Naruto, classes, team NNPR met back up in their shared bedroom and as one, collapsed onto their individual beds with a groan of relief.
Naruto was the one to realize something though, "Guys...we still have to make the bunk beds and get situated."
The rest of team NNPR responded with a single unanimous groan of frustration.
Deciding to take the lead as the captain of the team, Naruto flipped onto his back and spoke aloud, "How about this, we take this time now to at least unpack a little and get to know each other and tomorrow morning we wake up a little earlier and at least make the bunk beds. Sound good?"
Getting a bout of that hyperactive energy she was known for, Nora jumped up and seated herself cross legged on her bed and replied with a salute, "Sounds like a plan Captain Naruto!"
The blond grinned as he heard Nora refer to him as the captain. Sure it wasn't Hokage, but it was good enough for him.
Ren slowly rose from his face down position and calmly seated himself on his own bed, Pyrrha doing the same whilst freeing her red locks from her usual ponytail and taking off the less than comfortable school blazer.
As the red head shook her head to rid herself of any remaining knots in her hair, Naruto had to force himself to look away, fearing that he would make a fool of himself if he stared any longer.
Clearing his throat to hide his embarrassment Naruto began, "Well I guess I'll go first then. I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I like ramen, Kurama, my precious people, and the color orange. I dislike how long it takes for ramen to be made, arrogant jerks, and bigots. My dream for the future is to make my precious people proud and live a happy life."
Pyrrha smiled as she heard Naruto's dream. It was an admirable goal while still being relatively simple and down to earth. Knowing what had happened to her friend's precious people though made her frown internally. All Naruto had left of his home and his loved ones were memories. Silently the red headed teen vowed to herself to make sure Naruto was able to achieve his dream and find more precious people to live it with.
"Oh! Oh! Me next!" Nora exclaimed as she fidgeted in her seat while raising her hand like a five year old on a sugar rush.
Laughing at his teammate's hyperactivity Naruto just pointed at her, "Go ahead Nora."
With her goofy grin on Nora spoke, "My name is Nora Valkyrie! I like Ren's pancakes, Ren, my family, and the color pink! I dislike mean people and people who hurt my friends and family. My dream is to live in my own castle and rule as queen of all pancakes!"
Naruto and Pyrrha chuckled upon hearing Nora's dream while Ren quietly shook his head. Nora was definitely an odd one, but that was what made her so fun to be around.
Seeing as Ren was being his typical quiet self, Pyrrha chose to take her turn, "My name is Pyrrha Nikos. I like baklava (1), my family, making new friends, and the color red. I dislike people who would commit atrocious acts like bullying, and people who only see others as tools for their own benefit. My dream is to become a teacher and maybe have a family of my own."
'Naruto, meet Pyrrha, you're perfect match,' Kurama joked.
Naruto coughed to hide his blush. As much as he hated to admit it, the fox was right. Pyrrha was damn close to being his dream girl. In a weird way she also sounded a lot like his own mother, minus the whole short temper thing. In that regard Pyrrha was the total opposite to his mother who was infamous for her short fuse and subsequent violent outbursts.
Thankfully before anyone could question Naruto's sudden cough, Ren decided it was his turn to to speak, "My name is Lie-Ren. I enjoy Jasmine tea, meditating, and certain people. I dislike those who interrupt my meditation time. My dream is to simply live my life as best I can."
'Yup, definitely needs to get laid,' Naruto nodded to himself.
'Couldn't agree more kit. The weird vixen would probably do it if you worded it the right way,' Kurama chimed in.
The other members of team NNPR were left with questions when they saw Naruto and Kurama share a look, the same mischievous smirk on their faces. For some reason Ren felt that he was somehow going to have to sleep with one eye open around them from now on.
Letting out a yawn that spread around the room's occupants, Naruto stretched and said, "Well I say we let the girls shower first. Whoever isn't showering starts unpacking their things, at least the essentials like clothes. Since tomorrow is a short day we'll head out to one of the training fields and get to know each other's fighting style and such."
As Naruto and Ren got to unpacking some of their things, Nora and Pyrrha reached an agreement that Pyrrha would shower first then Nora would. The bubbly teen joked that maybe Ren should take her spot though, what with him having much longer hair than her. Everyone had a good laugh at Ren's expense while the raven haired teen simply sighed to himself.
Soon though the room was quiet, with the exception of Nora humming to herself something that sounded vaguely like "I'm queen of the castle~".
A few minutes later and Naruto had already unsealed some of his belongings from the scrolls he had on him, making sure that he did so as discreetly as possible. He was probably going to tell them about his Fuinjutsu after classes the next day, but he didn't really want to surprise them by pulling clothes and such out of a seal on a scroll. Even he knew it was a little odd to see.
However he had stumbled upon a book that he had forgotten was sealed into one of his scrolls and was soon absorbed in his own little world. Kurama had long since claimed a pillow and was curled into a ball snoozing away.
Being so into the book, Naruto jumped a little when he felt a soft hand touch his arm. Turning he saw Pyrrha smiling at him and was his usual around the red head, he began to blush. No one could really blame him either. With her hair let down and looking especially silky after her shower and clothed in a simple red tank top and black gym shorts, Pyrrha was looking especially beautiful. That wasn't to say that she didn't always look extremely attractive, but even in her school clothes she seemed to exude this air of formality.
