Chapter 2. Passing the Torch
Naruto looked out to the extended hand of his Godfather with a confident gaze. As his mind was completely made and Naruto knew he would be making the right choice. However, there was still something that the young boy needed to get off his chest.
"Thinking about it my parents quirks are amazing, but." Naruto began as he clenched the fist that wasn't injured, while he glanced to the one Momo had placed within a sling. "They do have negatives. My Tou-san's quirk is extremely powerful, but has many flaws. For example like most quirks it's a physical ability. So there is a limit to how many times I can use my teleportation. In my Tou-san's case that limit ended up costing him his life."
All Might frowned in sadness. "Yes your Tou-san always refused to flee from any battle. No matter what, he would always face his opponent like a true hero. Though Minato disregarding his quirk's limits and his mindset did cost him in the end."
Naruto nodded his head, as this was something he had come to grips with over time. "I know it did, but since I inherited his quirk mine works fundamentally the same. Except my version has mutated to where I don't have the delay in between my teleportations."
"A valuable upgrade to an amazing quirk." All Might pointed out, praising the young man's quirk.
"Thank you, but it's not my only quirk. After all I also inherited my Kaa-chan's quirk. Though I struggle with making any solid constructs like she does. Instead I can only manifest swirling balls of uncontrollable energy. Ones that normally explode in my face." Naruto explained sadly, while slightly rubbing his injured arm.
All Might grinned and gave the boy a quick thumbs up. "Poor quirk control at your age is common. You have years to practice and perfect your Kaa-chan's quirk!"
Naruto gave a small smile at the number one hero's words of wisdom. "That is true, but it adds to the point I'm getting at. I have two amazing quirks. However, one has a serious drawback and the other is useless until I get a better grasp over it. This is something I can't stand for."
All Might grinned as he heard the determination in the boy's tone. It was the sound of someone who strived to be the very best. A mindset that Naruto always had and was one of the many reasons why All Might wanted Naruto as a successor.
"I will become a great hero Uncle Toshinori." Naruto declared, while he looked up to the man with another piercing blue gaze. "I will become an unbeatable hero that will protect everyone. I will refuse to ever lose that way Kaa-chan will never have to cry again. That way Momo-chan will always have me by her side. And so you can rest easy knowing I will be here as your successor!"
All Might mustered the widest grin possible as Naruto confidently took his hand. "It will be a long and hard road ahead." The number one hero warned. "Are you positive this is what you want?"
Naruto grinned wide. "I don't have a single doubt in my mind. Hell if I want to make my dream a reality this is the only logical choice."
"Then prepare yourself Naruto-kun, with my quirk and training you'll become the greatest hero to ever live!" All Might declared confidently.

(One year later, Naruto age 10)
It has been one year since Naruto agreed to become All Might's successor. Since then Naruto's schedule has become increasingly more filled with extra amounts of personal training from All Might. The duo did everything from lifting, running, sparing and of course quirk practice. In this time Naruto has grown exponentially in power, but still has many areas that need improvement. The biggest example being the quirk he inherited from Kushina, which he still had next to no control over.
However, with Naruto spending so much time with All Might he has lessened his time being around Kushina and Momo. Both of whom were unaware of Naruto being groomed to inherited One for All. All the two females knew was that Naruto has been training with All Might and that was it.
Naruto didn't like cutting time away from his precious people, but for his dream to become a reality he knew sacrifices had to be made. Regardless he tried to fit as much time with his mother and Momo in as he could. Today was one of those days, as he was almost finished with his daily training and would spend time with Momo afterwords.
"Keep pushing yourself Naruto-kun!" All Might ordered with a wide grin. While he watched the young hero in training struggle.
Naruto who was sweating profusely took a wide and slow swing at All Might. The latter of whom dodged effortlessly and shifted himself to Naruto's right side in a quick blur of speed. Then with fast and brutal strength, All Might gave Naruto a powerful chop to the back. The force of the blow causing Naruto to buckle and smack into the ground.
"Damnit!" Naruto cursed in anger, while he pressed both his hands onto the wooden floor of his family's dojo. Currently the boy who was normally fast and powerful was struggling, as All Might had placed weighted clothing and weighted bands onto his body. This of course greatly slowed Naruto down, but was training to build up the boy's strength.
"What's the matter Naruto-kun?" All Might began with a large grin. "Had enough?"
Slowly pushing himself up, Naruto weakly swayed back and forth. Then assuming a weak boxing stance Naruto grinned at the hero. "As if." The blond wheezed out, his voice weak and raspy. "I could do this all day."
All Might tossed his head back in laughter, while placing both hands onto his hips. "I'm sure you can Naruto-kun, but let's call it a day. Tomorrow we will focus on your Kaa-chan's quirk. So I want you to get some rest and prepare yourself!"
Naruto nodded and dropped his fighting stance, while at the same time taking a deep breath to regain himself. "I understand."
All Might grinned and patted his protégé's shoulder. "You're making remarkable progress Naruto-kun. Keep going at this pace and I'll finally transfer One for All to you. Then the real training shall begin."
Naruto grinned back at the man with determination. "I can't wait."
Turning around All Might left the dojo with a beaming smile. "Neither can I Naruto-kun!"
Watching the man leave Naruto slowly removed the weights on his body. Allowing the boy to feel much lighter than before. Then by flexing and stretching his aching muscles he glanced up to the clock in his dojo. Noticing he still had an hour before he was supposed to meet Momo.
"Hmm I've got plenty of time to shower before I have to leave." Naruto mumbled, while at the same time he started to head towards his bathroom to shower and change his clothes.
As he walked around his large household, Naruto passed by his kitchen. Then by peeking into the empty room he noticed a note hanging on the fridge. So walking forward to inspect what was most likely something left by Kushina, Naruto started to read outloud.
"Naru-chan something urgent has come up with my brother. I don't have many details, but I didn't want to interrupt your training with Toshinori-san. I know you're spending the rest of your day with Momo-chan and I asked Mr. and Mrs. Yaoyorozu if you could stay the night at their estate, as I fear I won't be home tonight. So please stay safe my little hero. I will call you tomorrow. -With love Kaa-chan"
Reading this Naruto placed the note back onto the fridge, as he was curious about the events involving his uncle. His father was an only child, but Kushina did have a younger brother. However, his uncle was never around due to a server sickness he was diagnosed with years ago.
"I hope everything is okay." Naruto mumbled, his voice low and confused. "More so for Kaa-chan's sake than anyone else. She's been through enough as is."
Leaving the kitchen, Naruto traveled to his room to fetch some clean clothes before heading to the bathroom. Then after a quick shower Naruto emerged refreshed and rocking a simple getup of black jeans with a white and black hoodie.
"Well time to visit Momo-chan!" Naruto declared with a small smile, while at the same time vanishing in a yellow flicker of light.
Only to reappear in front of the massive gate of the Yaoyorozu family's estate. Where Naruto had left a marker to save him time during his trips to the location. He also had one placed in Momo's room, but after an incident involving the girl changing her clothes a few months back, Naruto favored to use the gate marker instead. So walking over to the gates intercom, Naruto pressed a button and smiled.
"Naruto Namikaze here for Momo-chan!" The boy explained, causing the gates to instantly open for him. "Hehe thank you!"
Entering the estate Naruto had to admit he would never get use to the size of Momo's home. As the entire compound was beyond massive. In fact Naruto and Momo have known eachother since the day they could both speak and in that time Naruto has never fully explored the Yaoyorozu mansion. Something that has annoyed the blond for years, as he normally tries to explore more of the large household with each visit he makes.
Though as Naruto approached the massive mansion he heard a voice calling out to him. So halting his movements Naruto stopped and listened for the voice.
"Naruto-kun!" The familiar voice of Momo shouted loudly, earning a small smile from Naruto. Who finally picked up on the sound and direction of the girl's voice.
"Momo-chan!" Naruto called back happily, while the boy looked up to the fourth story of the mansion. Where Momo could be seen hanging out of her bedroom window waving at the boy.
"Well don't just stand there, come on up!" Momo instructed happily.
Nodding in response Naruto used his quirk to teleport himself into Momo's room. Causing the spiky haired boy to be engulfed in a strong hug almost instantly.
"Hehe, Hey Momo-chan!" Naruto greeted awkwardly, while his best friend held him in a death grip.
"It's about time you come and see me!" Momo whined in an annoyed tone. "You never spend time with me anymore! It's always All Might this and training that!"
Naruto rubbed the back of his head and moved away from the girl. Then by giving her an eye smile he let loose a nervous laugh. "Sorry about that Momo-chan, but All Might is really helping me train to become a strong hero."
Momo pouted in response and crossed her arms. "Isn't that what hero school is for Naruto-kun? Why must you work so hard for? I know you want to be the best, but you're already a remarkable candidate for a future hero!"
Naruto simply grinned at Momo's questions. "One day you'll understand Momo-chan. Until that day comes however, I must never lose sight of my goal. I have to train harder than anyone else so I can surpass my Tou-san and All Might."
Momo sighed at her best friend and walked over to her bed. Then by jumping onto the massive mattress the girl started to relax and look up at the ceiling.
"Well if that's the case I'll have to start working harder as well." Momo declared passionately, while she slowly glanced over to Naruto. "I won't fall behind you."
Naruto smiled at Momo's words, on the surface it sounded like a declaration of a friendly rivalry. In fact that is the way in which Naruto interpreted Momo's words. However, unknown to Naruto a rivalry was not Momo's intentions. The girl did not want to compete with her best friend, but instead be able to stand by his side as an equal.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(With Kushina)
Peering sadly through a glass panel, Kushina watched as a sickly redhead took small breathing compressions. Her heart sinking as she noticed all the various tubes, needles and machines placed onto the individual. All of which were doing their best to steady the individual's condition and keep the person alive.
"Excuse me. You're the patient's older sister correct?" A sweet and sad voice asked.
Turning to the voice, Kushina noticed one of her brother's nurses. So nodding her head Kushina responded. "Yes I am."
The nurse sighed and motioned for Kushina to follow her. "I'm sorry to interrupt your time, but there is a representative of your brother here to see you. He is waiting down the hall as we speak."
Kushina gave a slight bow to thank the woman. "I appreciate you letting me know. Please alert me if anything changes with my brother."
The nurse nodded. "Absolutely."
Giving the woman a weak smile Kushina traveled down the hall. Where a man dressed in an expensive black suit was waiting for her. The man seeing Kushina removed the hat from his head and approached the single mother.
"Mrs. Namikaze it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, even though the situation does sour the mood." The man began before extending out his hand. "My name is Ken Kaneki and I'm the legal attorney that represents your brother."
Kushina nodded. "It's nice to meet you Mr. Kaneki, is there something I can help you with."
Nodding his head, the man produced a small envelope for Kushina to have. "Your brother has currently regressed into a coma like state and is unresponsive. I say this not because you're not aware of the situation yourself, but because your brother had left instructions in case a situation like this were to arise."
Glancing through the papers' Kushina's eyes grew wide in surprise. "I was wondering if this would happen. I mean it makes sense, but still. . ." Kushina drawled out in shock, while the attorney merely shook his head.
"Yes I understand this situation is difficult, but with no parents or spouse, if his condition were to worsen. Mr. Uzumaki wanted the guardianship of his daughter given to you." Ken explained in a matter of fact tone. "Of course you can refuse, but if you do the girl will be placed in foster care."
Kushina's mind quickly went to Naruto who was the same age as her Niece. If it wasn't for Kushina retiring from hero work she could have died with Minato. A situation that would have left Naruto in a similar predicament. Though her son was lucky enough to also have Momo's family and Toshinori for support. Meanwhile Kushina's Niece wasn't as lucky, so her options were really limited to just Kushina.
"No I will take her." Kushina replied with a determined voice. "I can't leave a member of my family behind. Especially when I think about how the situation could have been reversed with my own son."
Ken nodded. "Then let's head to my office. I have a handful of documents for you and then we can collect your Niece."
"Alright lead the way." Kushina replied, while she followed the man out of the hospital.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(The next day, with Naruto)
Walking down an empty neighborhood with Momo following closely behind. Naruto glanced down to his phone for what was probably the millionth time today. While he kept reading over the simple text message from his mother Kushina.
"Come home whenever you wake up. Something has happened. I'll explain more when you get home. Love you."
Momo looked over Naruto's shoulder and down to the phone with a curious expression. "Any idea what could be going on?"
Naruto shook his head in response. "I don't have the slightest clue."
Momo sighed at the boy's reply. "Well it could be urgent. So why don't we use your quirk instead of walking to your place?"
Naruto shrugged his shoulders. "If it was urgent Kaa-chan would have asked me to teleport to the marker I placed on her necklace. So since that isn't the case I'd much rather enjoy a walk with you." The blond replied, while looking back to Momo with the widest grin possible. "After all we don't get much time together these days as we use to. So let's squeeze out as much time as we can!"
Momo blushed at the words and smile of her best friend. This of course caused the girl to look down in embarrassment. "I guess you're right."
Smiling wide Naruto and Momo continued to walk together at a brisk pace. Then for the next couple of minutes the duo enjoyed their walk before a familiar gate caught their attention. This of course was the gate that lead into Naruto's home, which was a traditional Japanese style house. The house itself was fairly large, but not near the size of Momo's home. However, Momo would always declare that Naruto's house was far more beautiful than her own. This was due to the massive garden that was located in the center of the square shaped household.
"Kaa-chan!" Naruto yelled loudly, while he and Momo walked to the front door of the house together and walked inside. "Me and Momo-chan are here!"
Getting no initial response Naruto tilted his head in confusion. Momo on the other hand thought over where the older woman could be.
"Maybe she is in the garden."
Nodding at Momo's logic, Naruto walked his way to a sliding door and peered outside. Then making his way out into the open garden, Naruto looked for any sign of his mother.
"Kaa-chan! Are you out here?" Naruto called out, but go no response.
Stopping at Naruto's side Momo looked around the garden. "Looks like she's not here."
"Did we beat her home?" Naruto wondered out loud.
"I think we might have!" Momo replied quickly.
"Well looks like I found a shit faced fucker, what took you so long getting here?" A crude a feminine voice asked.
Shuddering in response Naruto along with a confused Momo looked up into a cherry blossom tree. Where a young girl around their age was standing on top of a branch, while her body rested against the tree's trunk. She was wearing a plain black shirt along with a matching black skirt. On her feet the girl had a plain pair of sandals. Though her most defining feature was her wild red hair, which she kept tamed back with a black hat that bore pipe-like stripes and bandaged sides, keeping her bangs in place while the rest was pushed back behind her ears to trail down her back.
"T-t-ta-" Naruto stuttered in surprise, while the girl appeared annoyed by his behavior. So leaping out of the tree she immediately got into the boy's face.
"Well spit it out you cock sucking shithead." The girl insulted, causing Momo's jaw to drop at the girl's near endless vulgar language.
"Tayuya." Naruto mumbled in shock, while slowly backing away from the girl. "W-what are you doing here?"
Placing her hands onto her hips, the now named Tayuya glared at Naruto. "Didn't your Kaa-san tell you already? I'm living here now you fucking idiot."
His eyes growing wide at Tayuya's declaration, Naruto zoned out. Because of this Tayuya locked an arm around Naruto's neck and held the boy down. Then with a surprising amount of brute force she started to give the blond a nuggie.
"Hey fucker why aren't you jumping for joy." Tayuya asked in a hostile voice. "Didn't you hear me? I'll be living with you now!"
Not trying to fight the girl off, Naruto simply nodded his head. "I'm so happy!" The boy cried out, while not sounding sincere at all.
Momo watching the scene unfold was both confused and enraged. She was confused as how someone like Naruto seemed afraid of Tayuya. Though she was also not happy with how this unfamiliar girl was treating her best friend.
"Hey leave Naruto-kun alone!" Momo ordered, while giving Tayuya the meanest look she could muster. "If not I'll have to stop you myself!"
Hearing Momo's threat, Tayuya grabbed a handful of Naruto's hair and made the boy look forward. "Hey fucker, who the fuck is this ponytail bitch?"
Slightly shaking Naruto held his hands out. "This is my friend Momo Yaoyorozu. And Momo-chan this is my cousin Tayuya Uzumaki."
Grinning ear to ear, Tayuya quickly used her free arm to bring Momo into a headlock as well. "Well it's my fucking lucky day. My number of shitheads has doubled!"
As both the children were being roughly handled by Tayuya, a happy giggle pierced the air. Causing all three children to notice Kushina Namikaze walking towards the three.
"Naruto welcome home and it's good to see you as well Momo! I see you found Tayuya and it looks like you three are already bonding!" Kushina chirped in an upbeat voice, trying to be as positive as possible.
Releasing and pushing her captives forward, Tayuya scoffed and looked away. "Yeah whatever."
Kushina gave an innocent eye smile before glancing down to Naruto. "So sweetie I'm sure Tayuya must have mentioned it by now, but she will be living with us for the foreseeable future. Or at least until her Tou-san recovers."
Naruto nodded, as he didn't need his mother to tell him the reason why she was here. He was plenty smart enough to figure out something was wrong with his uncle and Tayuya needed a place to live.
"Well welcome home Tayuya." Naruto officially greeted, trying to be as pleasant to his cousin as possible.
"Shithead." Tayuya insulted plain and simple before looking up to Kushina. "Aunt Kushina is my room ready yet?"
Ignoring the swearing of her niece, Kushina nodded and gestured for Tayuya to follow her. "I just finished getting everything ready, follow me Tayuya and I'll show you where you'll be living. Trust me you'll love it since it's right by Naruto's room!"
Watching the two redheads leave, Momo placed her hands onto her hips and sighed. "Your cousin is awful Naruto. And why do you let her treat you so horribly?"
Not looking at Momo's direction, Naruto looked up into the sky. Then staying silent for only a brief moment Naruto shook his head. "Tayuya's mom abandoned their family when she was young. For the longest time it's always been her and my uncle, but he was diagnosed with a serious illness a few years ago. Ever since then Tayuya has took her frustrations out on other people. I've tried to help her in the past, but she's stubborn. So instead I pretend to be afraid of her and let her vent her negativity out on me. Because if that's what I need to do to help her than so be it."
Smiling at the kindness of her best friend, Momo placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "You really are an idiot, but I now understand Tayuya a little more. And since she'll be around for awhile I'll help you reach her."
Naruto laughed loudly and looked back to Momo. "Well I hope you realize what you're getting into with her. She'll drive you crazy."
Momo wrapped an arm around Naruto neck and smiled. "You already drive me crazy as is, what's one more headache?"
Naruto shook his head. "I guess you're right."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(One year later, Naruto age 11)
Another year has passed and Naruto has now reached a full year living with Tayuya. Which was an experience that was interesting to say the least. For the most part thanks to his training with All Might, Naruto normally had a pretty good excuse to avoid the girl. Though whenever Naruto was free and spending his time with Momo, Tayuya would tag along. This of course created a third person dynamic that was again interesting.
See on the outside Tayuya insulted and verbally expressed her distaste for both Naruto and Momo. Though the second anyone else started to prey on her "shitheads" the girl would snap. This was proven true when a fellow student at the children's private school heard Tayuya insult Momo. The girl wanting to befriend Tayuya thought she could insult Momo with Tayuya. Instead Tayuya broke the girl's nose and got a week of detention.
This of course sent the message to the rest of the school that Naruto and Momo were off limits. However, even though Tayuya was quite rude ever since their first meeting Momo has treated the girl with love and respect. As Momo had been trying incredibly hard to crack Tayuya's shell and truly befriend the girl.
Currently the trio were walking their way home from school and headed to Momo's house. Naruto was leading the charge, while Momo and Tayuya flanked his left and right side. Each child was dressed in their school uniform, while the only difference between any of them was that Tayuya kept her hat on at all times.
"Hey is your Kaa-san making some of those fancy ass fucking finger sandwiches again?" Tayuya asked bluntly.
Momo nodded with a smile. "I asked Kaa-san to make them since you like them so much!"
"You fucking better ponytail shithead!" Tayuya repiled.
Ignoring his cousin's rude behavior, Naruto walked forward without paying attention to anything. His mind quickly going to his phone as he felt a the small device ring. So digging out his smartphone, Naruto noticed he had a text message from All Might.
'Naruto-kun, it's time. Meet me at this location.' Was the message that Naruto read to himself, before a second message gave Naruto an address to meet with the number one hero.
Curious as to what All Might could want, Naruto turned around and looked at the two girls following him. "Hey guys I gotta go meet with All Might for a little bit. So I'll have to catch up with you both later."
"You're ditching us again shithead? I swear all you fucking care about is spending time with All Fucker!" Tayuya yelled loudly, while she glanced at Momo noticing the girl seemed depressed more than anyone. As the girl always looked forward to spending time with Naruto.
"But it could be important Tayuya!" Naruto replied back, causing his cousin to growl under her breath. This of course caused Naruto to fake jump back in response.
"And ponytail has been planning this study day for fucking weeks!" Tayuya yelled back, while she pointed at Momo. "And you're just gonna skip out on her now?"
Naruto held his hands up and didn't know what to say. However, Momo gave the boy a friendly smile and released a small laugh.
"Don't worry about it Naruto-kun, I know you can be busy. So go see what All Might wants and meet up with us when you can."
Hearing Momo's words Naruto grinned wide at the girl. "Hehe thanks Momo-chan, I promise I'll be back in a flash!" Naruto declared, before his body disappeared in a flicker of light.
"Kami I hate that fucking pun of his! It wasn't funny when Uncle Minato said it and it's not funny now!" Tayuya yelled out in frustration before pointing at Momo. "And you need to stop lying at letting that shithead get away with anything he wants!"
Momo looked down, as she couldn't lie she was looking forward to a complete afternoon with her best friend. "Naruto-kun is just working hard to be a good hero. So at times I gotta realize I can't be selfish with my best friend. He's going to become a great hero that will be for everyone to enjoy."
Tayuya blew out some air and rolled her eyes. "That's bull shit and I know you don't believe all that, but I don't care. More sandwiches for me is the only thing I care about."
Momo laughed at her friend's behavior, as even though she has been losing time with Naruto. The young girl at least had Tayuya around.
"Well Kaa-san made plenty, so let's get moving!" Momo declared, as she pushed Naruto in the back of her mind and started to walk.
Tayuya followed closely behind, while both girls were unaware of the dark shadow looming behind them. Though as two hands clasped onto their mouths, they quickly realized that why were in fact being attacked. However, at this point it was too late to do anything and both girls were quickly restrained.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(With Naruto)
Walking onto a large walkway bridge that went over a busy street. Naruto stopped in the middle and stood beside a large man concealed in a large black duster and floppy hat. This man of course being none other besides All Might himself.
"Naruto-kun." All Might greeted, while the hero looked forward in a trance like state.
"Uncle Toshinori." Naruto replied, while he followed All Might's gaze. "Why did you want to see me?"
Placing his hands into his pockets All Might looked towards the end of the street. Where the road broke off into a large roundabout. In the center of said roundabout was a bronze statue and monument to the late Minato Namikaze.
"I've thought over the last few years how I should handle this moment." All Might explained, while glancing down to his student. "I feel here and now is the appropriate time and place for me to finally give you One for All."
Naruto's eyes grew wide, while he gazed at the statue of his father. As that exact location was where Minato had lost his life fighting All for One.
"Do you think I am ready?" Naruto asked, his voice soft and weak. "I still have so much to learn."
All Might nodded. "Of course you do and I never said you didn't. However, in two years you've grown tremendously with your quirks. Sure you may still struggle greatly with Kushina's quirk. Though you've almost mastered Minato's quirk, but you can still improve upon it. So I feel it's time we start actually working with One for All."
Naruto looked down and tightened his fists. "Okay I'm ready."
All Might grinned and patted Naruto's shoulder. "I've heard pro heroes say this is where Minato's story as a hero ended, but that couldn't be further from the truth. This is where he handed off his legacy to you, so I see fit this is the only place I should give you my quirk. As now you are not only Minato's legacy, but mine as well."
Naruto gritted his teeth, as the young boy did have a large torch to carry. Since he would be the legacy of two of the greatest heroes to ever live. However, as someone who strived to be number one, Naruto would accept that responsibility completely.
"What do I need to do?" Naruto asked, while glancing up to All Might. The latter of whom was holding out a piece of hair.
"Eat this Naruto-kun." The muscular hero instructed.
Looking skeptical Naruto took the hair, but trusting his teacher Naruto swallowed the hair without question. Then after a minute or so Naruto tilted his head.
"Was something supposed to happen? I don't feel any different." Naruto admitted.
All Might nodded and placed his hands onto his hips. "Trust me Naruto-kun, you now have three quirks. And now we must train those three quirks even harder than before."
Naruto grinned and flexed his arms, thinking to himself that it finally happened. He finally got All Might's quirk after two years of almost endless hard work.
"I can't wait to start." Naruto began, but stopped as his phone started to ring. So picking up the phone Naruto was surprised to see Momo's mother calling him.
"Hello Mrs. Yaoyorozu how are you?" Naruto asked in a happy voice, but as he listened his features dropped. "No I'm not with Momo-chan. Both her and Tayuya should have made their way to your house by now actually."
All Might watched Naruto listen to the phone and nod at what the other party was saying.
"Well maybe her phone battery died, I'm sure she is okay Mrs. Yaoyorozu. But I'll try to get ahold of Tayuya or find where they are." Naruto explained quickly, while at the same time Naruto tightened his hold on his phone. "Please keep me updated if you find them and I'll do the same. Alright take care!"
All Might watched Naruto hang up and raised an eyebrow. "Is everything okay?"
Naruto frowned and shook his head, while at the same time he dialed Tayuya's number. "Momo-chan and Tayuya never showed up at the Yaoyorozu's house. And Momo isn't answering her phone so her Kaa-san is worried. I'm going to call them and see what is wrong, but if they don't answer I'll just use my quirk to find them."
"I see, not replying is out of place for young Momo." All Might declared, as over the last few years he got to know the girl a little bit.
Naruto nodded and waited for Tayuya to answer, but as a voice Naruto didn't recognize came through the phone the young blond growled in response. "Who is this?"
All Might quickly noticed the situation signaled for Naruto to place the phone on speaker. So doing Naruto and All Might listened in on silence together.
"Is anyone there?" Naruto asked.
"Shithead these fuckers got us tied up!" Was a loud yell from Tayuya, who sounded like she was in the background.
"Shut the girl up." The unfamiliar voice ordered.
Naruto's eyes growing wide the blond glared at the phone. "If you've hurt Momo or Tayuya you'll regret it! I can find them in no time at all and you along with them!"
A loud voice laughed at Naruto's threat. "I'm shaking in fear."
"Well maybe." All Might began, as he took the phone and removed his hat. "You'd be more inclined to cooperate with me; All Might. If not then you should be afraid, because I will be coming for those girls."
On that note the phone was quickly hung up, this of course caused All Might to frown. "So that is how it's going to be. Well in that case it looks like I have some work to do." All Might declared, while the man removed his duster. "Don't worry Naruto-kun I will save them."
Naruto nodded and tightened his fists, while looking up to the man with a bright blue gaze. "I can help." Was Naruto's simple reply. "I have a mark placed on Momo-chan and Tayuya."
All Might folded his arms and thought over what to do. Naruto was highly talented, but he wasn't a legal hero. However, with the young boy's help a rescue mission would go much faster. "Alright Naruto-kun you can help, but I have rules."
"If it means saving Momo-chan and Tayuya I'll do whatever."
Grinning wide All Might bent down to Naruto's level. "Well for starters I have a plan, but before I tell you promise me Naruto you will not fight. I just need you to help me find the girls and get them to safety. Leave everything else to me."
"Alright I can accept that term." Naruto replied, he didn't care what happened as long Momo and Tayuya were safe.
"Good. Now listen closely Naruto-kun. Cause you're still very important in this rescue." All Might began, before he started to explain his plan to the young hero in training.

Chapter end!
So here is the next chapter and I'm gonna say a few things.
In the vote more people wanted Naruto with OFA so he's got it. (Don't worry he won't get full control over it, but he will be better than Izuku. It only makes sense considering he's been training for years and will have OFA longer than Izuku had it when the main plot comes rolling in)
Tayuya is in the story and you're wondering why? Well I wanted to write her and she will be an important character to Naruto. For now their relationship is kinda like Izuku and Bakugo's but will be much different as they get older.. plus I can't wait to write scenes with Tayuya and Bakugo going at it. (And Yes Tayuya has a quirk and will be in class 1-A. You'll see her quirk next chapter)
Right now there might be one more Naruto character not sure. But every character I add one person gets taken out. Sorry but there is some 1-A characters I don't wanna write and Tayuya already replaced one (don't worry it's no one important)
Speaking of replacing a lot of people have said don't do Izuku. And I've thought about it, honestly I've got like ten different ideas for the little cinnamon roll and I don't know which I'm gonna take yet.
