Author's note: Hope you enjoy this little 'crossover'. I have no intention of bringing too much from Naruto's universe since this IS Naruto's universe. I hope someone gets to enjoy my little opening chapter. Leave a review to let me know your opinions. Rated M for language and Romance tag meaning E.T's fighting against apes mounting velociraptors. Romance tag meaning some freaking romance moving forward, nature of the romance still indeterminate. See ya

The Cursed Hero
People are not born equal. What a bunch of nonsense. Everyone is born equal, the world is responsible for their changes, and the people are responsible for the world. Those who come to this world and are left by themselves are the only ones that can complain about injustice, they got their chance robbed, they have the right. In this new world, there's only one absolute truth: Villains aren't born, they're raised
My name is Izuku Midoriya and at the age of four, I was told I had a quirk nobody could identify. The doctor who examined me showed us the proof that I had the third joint on my pinky toe, which represents the evolution of the human race, the birth of a new generation of exceptional abilities users in this new world where fantasy becomes reality. This little detail could dictate how your life would progress, how you would be treated by most people and how you would live. After I was told, that for this new world I meant nothing, I kept trying to live as a hero, trying to absorb their ideals as my own, I kept trying to be like the hero I admired so much, All Might. I desperately waited for the day my quirk would activate, I studied everything about it, analyzing others quirks endlessly and I found nothing... but I kept going. I trained alone in an abandoned place next to my house, learning how to fight by myself using videos and books as reference and my quirk didn't activate... but I kept going. Back then, when my mother gave up on me, feeling sorry for her normal son and the suffering he would face in his life, it hurt most than anything... but even after that, I kept going... after all, a true hero never gives up and always face everything with a smile right?
'After years of mistreating in the hands of Kacchan, could you blame me if I became a villain? He just told me to kill myself, the person I also admired for so long, the person I considered my friend... the one who uttered these words to me is someone praised by adults, someone considered suitable to be a hero, a model to the next generation, he's someone who aims to be the strongest hero ever... this is just stupid. I was stupid for trying to follow him all this time, being humiliated, inflating his ego for years, how stupid am I?'
Midoriya kept walking and repeating the words inside his mind when he heard a strange voice behind him
"A medium-sized body to hide in..."
'It looks like a villain with a transformation quirk'
He analyzed in less than two seconds jumping back but before Midoriya could gain distance he was caught and engulfed by the sticky substance that started going down his throat and filling his nose preventing him from breathing. Just before passing out he heard a familiar voice
"Fear not, shounen"
"I am here"
He woke up after being softly face-slapped and instantly saw what he thought was a dream, All Might the number 1 hero was right here
"An autograph... where's m-" He looked around and found his burned notebook opening and seeing his signature
"He already signed it?!" When the hero said 'Until next time' and was about to leave, Midoriya needed to hear from him, he was sure that All Might wouldn't turn him down just because nobody had an answer to his unknown power
"Please, wait... I want to ask you something, can someone without a quirk yet become a hero like you?"
"Without a quirk yet?" All Might looked at the boy wondering what he meant by that. Midoriya explained that after being tested over and over again, his quirk never awakened but everyone was sure he had one, though nobody knew how to turn it on, not even Midoriya
"Shounen, I can understand what you feel, having your power so close and yet having nothing at all... but I can't be irresponsible right now and just say that you can become a hero"
Midoriya face fell as he heard the only person in the world that he expected to believe in him, to give him hope...
"A pro should always be ready to risk his life and without power, can one become a hero? I don't think so shounen"
Midoriya just gripped the front of his shirt with his eyes closed trying not to cry
"If you desire to help people, you could become a police officer. There's nothing wrong about dreaming but you need to face reality shounen. I'm sorry but with the way you are, you can't become a hero"
He just turned and jumped making a strong wind pressure
'This was a little harsh but the sooner he faces reality, the better, also... this is the first time I heard about a quirk that no one can classify... that's odd'
Lost in thoughts about the boy's strange history he didn't notice the bottle he just dropped, the bottle containing the sticky villain he captured
Midoriya felt his head hurt after hearing those words, he just had the last shred of hope ripped from him by his idol, he opened his eyes but his vision was blurred and before he could ask himself what happened to his eyes, he grabbed the sides of his head that started hurting so much that he fell to his knees and just waited for the pain to pass. He felt the pain spread to his eyes as well and after a few minutes, it just stopped. He was feeling weak and after opening his eyes again he saw two flies next to him, it looked like they were flying like in slow-motion. He took a step forward but as he did so, everything came strangely close, like he was seeing everything from a wrong sized pair of lens, but he could still feel the depth, he just wasn't used to it yet
"What the hell is going on, what is this?"
He tried to walk again and went to a little river next to the place he was, to wash his face and his eyes that were hurting, but when he crouched to get water he saw something reflected on the water's surface that made a hot chill run his whole body: He saw two pairs of red eyes glowing and suddenly, he was aware of everything around him. The processing speed of the incoming visuals stimulus was off the charts, that was all Midoriya could think as he saw 4 fishes underwater 10 feet ahead and somehow could keep track of them even after turning to look at some bees flying around him. Somehow everything seemed slow to his eyes and his vision blurred again as the tears fell and he realized those eyes were his quirk that just awakened
"I'm not useless... I'm not quirkless... I'll show you all"
After recovering, he wiped the tears and looking back to the place his dream was destroyed a few minutes ago, he swore
"I'll show you two what it truly means to be a hero, All Might... Kac- Bakugo..."
He heard an explosion and turned towards its general direction, he could even hear some sirens. He ran for a few minutes until he reached the crowd who were watching a sticky villain who just abducted a boy and was using explosions in every direction. Every time Midoriya blinked, his eyes focused on another detail in front of him automatically, he saw the heroes standing by because it was dangerous to approach the explosive monster
'Explosions?'
Midoriya noticed those explosions reminded him of a certain someone. He swiftly walked through the crowd, finding the narrows spaces moving very fast until he reached the front row, and saw the look on the boy's face who was being chocked just like Midoriya a few minutes ago. He locked his new red eyes with the eyes of Bakugo and saw fear and despair on his face. He ran towards the boy, jumping over a sign, not even realizing what he was doing.
'He is going to die and everyone is just watching waiting for another hero to save the day... you are all pathetic, you call yourselves heroes?'
He approached barely aware of the screams telling him to stop, he was focused on the sticky villain who saw his advance and tried to blow him with a direct blast but he just stepped aside dodging the heat... what the hell, that was too easy. He threw his backpack directly in the villain's face, which made him let go of Bakugo's face allowing the boy to breathe again
"Deku... Why?"
Midoriya saw the villain's left arm coming his way and dodged the explosion again, feeling the hot vapor against his face, but everything was so calm that he wasn't feeling pressured at all, however, he noticed something... he was starting to get tired, like his whole body was getting too heavy and out of stamina. He kept dodging and throwing anything he could pick up directly at the villain's eyes making him unable to focus on Bakugo. After a close call, where he got a small burn on his left wrist he turned to the crowd and shouted
"FOR HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP WATCHING? DO YOU CALL YOURSELVES HEROES?"
He was almost at his limit, he just discovered this new power and was already fighting a monster with Bakugo's power, yet he was holding his own for more than 5 minutes and nobody lifted a finger to help. Suddenly he felt a presence that was going to grab his hand and instantly withdrew his arm when he was about to be touched. He saw a hand close into thin air and heard the same familiar voice talk something about lessons but he wasn't paying attention to those empty words anymore, they meant nothing to him now. All Might blew the villain towards the sky with such force that a tornado was created and a few seconds later it started raining. Midoriya finally could rest, he sat in the sidewalk and still could feel his body tired so after a quick analysis on himself he concluded that he needed to stop his power, to turn it off, it was draining his energy too fast, but how could he stop that? He tried closing his eyes and concentrating, and the answer just popped inside his mind: He just needed to want to turn it off, so he did and after opening his eyes the world came back to normal and he felt the pressure get off his body. He looked around and saw Bakugo who was fainted a few seconds ago, sitting as well, being praised by some pro hero because of his toughness and his quirk, but he just looked down not bragging
'Yea, you're the one that got saved by me, maybe if I killed myself today as you suggested, you would also be dead by now'
Midoriya just noticed that a pro-hero was trying to scold him about being reckless, so Midoriya grabbed his bag getting up and after looking directly at the Punching hero's face, said without any fear or insecurity
"Someone was in danger, and there were no heroes around, so I did what I thought was right, now excuse me"
He walked away from a perplexed hero and was pierced by Bakugo's stare and as he passed the place where the number 1 hero was giving an interview they locked eyes for a second and what All Might saw there made him stop his words and wonder
'Did his eyes just changed color?'
