AN: Hey guys, here we are with another chapter of Maelstrom at UA. I am glad so many of you are enjoying this, and I am ecstatic because I am done with Pride and Prejudice, suck it Jane Austen. Anyways, I will probably be saying this each chapter, but I am thankful for all the support I am getting from you guys. I finally have time to catch up on the manga, even though Instagram and my friends have spoiled it for me, thanks a lot Felix. Enough with this author talking stuff, time for what you all came for, THE STORY (Off key guitar riff). I can't play guitar, so imagine it off key.
Also I don't own Naruto or My Hero Academia. I mean, I would've dropped out of high school by now and actually be popular, but just in case.
Izuku and Naruto waved goodbye to their friends as they made their way home from the train station. It has been an eventful day for the brothers and they couldn't wait to get home and relax. Naruto carried his bag over his shoulder, his brother copying him as they walked the familiar path.
Izuku smiled as he said to his brother, "Today was awesome, we both got to show up Kaachan today, but you beat him up pretty bad, I wonder if he's still unconscious."
Naruto sneered at the mention of Bakugo, "Serves him right, that bastard was long overdue for an ass whooping. It's luck that he got two today."
Izuku laughed at his brother's bitterness, and then suddenly remembered something that made him smirk immensely. Naruto saw this and raised an eyebrow, "Ummm, what's wrong bro."
Izuku smirk only widened, "I was just thinking about your performance during combat practice, you really did, how you say, 'bad good'."
That stopped Naruto dead in his tracks, he slowly turned his head to Izuku and smiled sweetly, "If you say one work to mom, I will prank you harder than the time you ate my special ramen," Izuku's eyes widened and he furiously nodded his head, "also, you competed too. You really did do how you said, 'good, good'."
This caused Izuku to blush and he scratched the back of his head. He regained eye contact with Naruto, "Okay, look. I don't tell mom about you, you don't tell her about me, deal," he held out his hand to cement the deal.
Naruto nodded his head and shook his brother's hand. They continued in silence.
Once they got home, they were treated to the smell of their mother's heavenly cooking. Inko went to the living room once she heard the door open and gave her sons a big hug.
"Hello my babies, how was school today. Anything exciting happen." Inko started to badger her kids the moment she released them. This has been the norm ever since they got accepted into the hero class, Inko knew how big of a deal this was for her babies, and wanted to know everything she could about what was going on.
Naruto and Izuku have grown used to this, and told her about the combat practice. Of course leaving out the part how Izuku ran head first to stop an attack that could've killed him, Naruto was electrocuted by a human lighting bolt, and how Naruto's costume was destroyed by an angry pineapple, causing him to hospitalize said person.
Inko did not like the fact that her babies were fighting their classmates, but were glad that they were enjoying themselves.
They washed up for lunch and enjoyed a quiet meal as the brother's had time to rest. After their lunch the brother's went to their room to play some games with each other.
They were playing Super Smash Bros. and Izuku was smirking the whole time. Naruto tried to ignore it but it was bugging him too much so he paused the game and turned to his brother, "Why the hell are you smirking so much."
Izuku only laughed maniacally as he slowly turned to his brother and said, "It's just that I finally have something on you. You have a weakness that I can exploit and no matter what you do you can never take that away from, what are you doing," Izuku lost his train of thought when he saw Naruto suddenly had his phone.
Naruto lazily toss the phone up and down before showing Izuku the screen, it was a text message to Ochaco, it hasn't been sent but the message that was written made Izuku blush so hard he looked like a ripe tomato.
The text read, 'Dearest Uraraka, I have been infatuated with you ever since we first met. You are the warm breeze that brings me joy and and the sunshine that lights me up. I know we haven't been acquainted for long, but I feel that I love you. Will you please do me the honour of being my girlfriend. Love, Izuku Midoriya.'
Izuku was shocked, when did Naruto write all of this. He was only talking for like 3 seconds.
Naruto was still nonchalant as he held his finger dangerously close to the send button, "Don't get cocky bro, I have years worth of dirt on you. Along with information about a girl who you like more than a friend. So I suggest you forget everything you think you know, before I hit send."
Izuku nodded and quickly got his phone back from his brother. He made sure to erase the message before he could accidently send it. He remembered to one lesson he was never to forget, Naruto always has a way to prank you ten times harder than you can. He was worried for Iida, he couldn't handle Naruto's pranks, no one could.
The brothers played for a bit more before they started to train. It was just some light lifting followed by a 5K jog around their neighbourhood. They had to lessen their training regimen at home, due to the training they received from UA it was difficult for the brothers to balance the amount of time they had to rest and when they trained. It wasn't summer anymore so they will have to adjust.
The boys came back in time for dinner and then went to bed. Naruto looked over to see his brother texting Ochaco about the exercise. The energetic girl was ecstatic at their victory and wanted to talk to Izuku about every little detail about it. Naruto was glad Izuku and he made some good friends, he was willing to face the world with only his brother, but having friends to help them won't hurt.
He threw a pillow at the green haired boy's face when he was still texting the bubbly girl 20 minutes later. "Bro, tell your girlfriend to stop texting you. We have to sleep, I'm pretty sure we have a thing tomorrow."
Izuku threw the pillow back at his brother and told Ochaco he had to sleep now. They said their good nights and finally went to sleep.
-At School, Next Day-
"The hell is this," Naruto said. He was walking to school with his brother and sees a large crowd of reporters covering the entrance.
When they heard the blond haired boy, they immediately swarmed him. "Excuse me, can you tell me what it is like having All MIght as a teacher."
"Yes, how does All Might handle his hero life and the life of a teacher."
"How has having the number one hero teaching you affect your learning experience."
These were but a few of the questions that they were bombarded with, Naruto grew annoyed and said loudly, "Can you all please get out of the way, I have to get to class."
Izuku looked at his brother, surprised he wants to go to class. He ignored it for now and nodded his head in agreement. The crowd sensed the malice and made room for the students to go through.
Once they were out of earshot from the developers Izuku looked at his brother and asked, "Since when did you want to go to school. I know it's UA and everything, but nothing interesting is in the morning."
Naruto didn't bother to turn to his brother, "You know how Iida yelled at me during orientation," Izuku nodded his head, "welp, I finally got my prank set up for him, and I don't want to miss it."
Izuku deadpanned and sighed, he should've expected his brother had an ulterior motive to wanting to go to school. He quickly smiled widely when he saw Ochaco near the entrance and waved at her. She waved back energetically and waited for the brothers before entering. They talked about nothing for a bit before running into Iida, who was at his locker, about to open it. For some reason Naruto stopped them before they got closer.
Naruto gave his signature foxy grin and said, "Hey Iida, whatcha doing."
Iida and greeted them, "Greetings Naruto, Izuku, and Ochaco. I was simply retrieving my books, we can walk to class together after I do that."
Iida, however, was not prepared for what to come. For as soon as he opened his locker, and burst of orange powder erupted, covering his glasses, as well as a vast majority of his upper body. He wiped the orange substance off his glasses and looked at Naruto, who was smirking impishly, "I see, Izuku warned me of this. Well done prank, I shall get a change of clothes before class starts."
Naruto only laughed, "How cute, you think it's done," this caused Iida to widen his eyes, "you see Iida, I was given a dangerous thing this summer, freetime. So I thought about the perfect prank for you, and when I couldn't think of just one to pull, I chose to pull all of them. That is why, I have your would be spare clothes," he finished his sentence by showing Iida's very much orange back up clothes. He smirked again and chuckled, "Also, the second phase should start now.
Iida was confused before another canon went off that fired feathers at him. The powder seemed to also be an adhesive that allowed the feathers to stick to him. Another canon blasted air that was strong enough to blast him back into some tripwire that was suddenly there for some reason, and he fell down. Iida attempted to get back up before he fell down once again, due to a large amount of marbles falling out of the locker. A speaker came out of the locker and Naruto's voice rang loudly in a mock serious tone, "Tenya Iida, this is not proper behavior in the halls, DETENTION!" Right after that a large amount small pieces of paper, all saying 'DETENTION' on them came out of Iida's locker one after the other, slowly piling up on the fallen boy, who has given up his attempt to get up.
Ochaco looked at the state Iida was in, and then saw the foxy grin Naruto wore throughout the whole ordeal. She was promised herself never to cross Naruto, ever. Her sentiment only hardened when she heard Izuku say, "At least he went easy on him."
The little display caused quite the crowd to form and they all wordlessly watched as the glasses wearing student was subjected to the wrath of the blond haired boy.
Naruto went to Iida's prone form and offered his hand to the taller boy. Iida gratefully took his hand and got up wordlessly. Naruto was silent for a solid 5 seconds before busting out in laughter. He was holding his gut as he looked at his orange, feathered, and slightly bruised classmate. Once he regained his composure he said, "Don't worry Iida, it washes off somewhat easily, and knowing you you probably have backup, backup clothes in your bag."
Iida nodded in embarrassment, confirming the blond's suspicions. Iida went to the restroom to get cleaned up, as Naruto, Izuku, and Ochaco went to the classroom.
Izuku looked at his brother as that walked and said, "I'm surprised by how tame that was, that doesn't seem like the result of 3 months of planning. Honestly, I expected more from you."
Naruto only smirked as they got into class, right when the bell rang, "Oh, what a shame, it would seem Iida will be late," the statement intrigued Izuku as he felt that his brother had something more planned now.
They saw their teacher, Aizawa, enter the class, surprisingly not in his sleeping bag. Naruto made sure to comment on this, "Good for you Mr. Random Homeless Man, you got rid of your sleeping bag and found actual clothes."
Aizawa ignored the comment from the loud-mouthed whiskered student and went on with what he was going to say. He continued with what he was going to say, "From what I heard from All MIght, you guys did a pretty decent job for the most part. However, for those who lost, don't go around sulking because of it, okay," he not so secretly looked at Bakugo while saying that. Bakugo just scoffed and looked out the window.
Aizawa continued, "Anaways, time to get serious, this next choice will decide your future."
This caught the classes attention, they will put all their attention into something that can possibly affect their future as heroes.
"You need to pick a class representative," the whole class visibly loosened up when they heard that. They were just doing normal high school stuff.
Everyone in the class started to elect themselves as class rep, until Naruto stood up on the desk and yelled, "HEY!"
The whole class turned their attention to him, except for Bakugo, "It would seem as though we are at odds here, I propose we cast a vote, whoever wins, becomes the class rep."
A girl that was short in stature and had wide eyes said, "But we barely know each other, how can we properly decide who can be class rep."
A boy with red haired interjected as well, "Yeah, also wouldn't we just vote for ourselves."
Naruto nodded his head, "Exactly, so whomever has more than one vote, has been recognized by at least one other student to be responsible enough. Is this okay with you Mr. and you are already asleep," he deadpanned his sleeping teacher's form and sighed in annoyance. The class ended up agreeing with the vote and went to cast who they thought should be class rep.
Naruto smirked as he wrote Izuku's name, this will be his way of getting back at Izuku for thinking he had the upper hand.
Izuku saw Naruto's smirk and slowly leaned closer to Ochaco to whisper, "I don't trust that smirk Naruto has, he's up to something. Huh wait a minute," Izuku thought intently at what his brother may be thinking. This made Ochaco giggle, she thought he looked cute when he was deep in thought. Izuku seemed to gain an epiphany and quickly said, "Ochaco, vote for Naruto, trust me on this."
Ochaco looked confused at this but agreed and voted for Naruto. Izuku smirked as he wrote his brother's name, he knew his brother will try his hardest to embarrass him, so he probably chose this vote system so that while everyone voted for themselves, he and possibly Ochaco will vote for him, making him class rep. Something he definitely couldn't handle. So now he will prove to his brother that he won't be tricked so easily.
Naruto took all the votes and got up in the class to tally them. When he stepped back to see the results, he froze. He recounted the votes and saw that the tally was the same. He looked to see his brother smirking at him. Naruto had 3 votes to his name, followed by Momo who had 2 votes. He was pondering who else voted for him, one was from Izuku, and another was from Ochaco for sure, but who was the third one.
He was snapped out of his musings when he heard Aizawa unzipping the sleeping bag, having finished his nap, and saw the tally on the board, "Okay, it would seem as though that your class rep is officially Naruto Uzumaki Midoriya, and Momo Yaoyorozu is your deputy.
Naruto was twitching his eye at this, he couldn't believe that he was being subjected to actual responsibility. He was going to just refuse the position when Momo said to him, "It will be fun working with you Naruto. I'm sure we'll make a fantastic team once again."
Naruto's anger suddenly vanished and was replaced with a smile, "I'm sure we will Momo."
Their moment ended however when the door opened and a newly cleaned Iida entered the class, "I am sorry for being late to class, I have already went to the office to discuss the proper punishment I should receive. I am here now and ready to learn."
Iida looked at the board and his whole world shattered, he missed the chance to become the class representative. He was most disappointed that he missed the chance to participate in a democratic election. How could he allow this to happen. He somberly went to his desk and proceeded to sulk.
Naruto smirked at this, causing Izuku's eyes to widen, "That evil mastermind," he muttered to himself. The orange powder and feather weren't the prank. They never were meant to be. He somehow knew that a class rep would be picked today, and he made Iida miss it. This prank was not meant for him, he would've just been the cherry on top. He knew what Iida loved most and took it away from him. He shuddered at how cold that was, but damn, if it wasn't a damn good prank.
-Lunch-
The group of friends spent most of their lunch trying to console their scholarly friend.
Naruto was patting him on the back, "Don't worry Iida, if you want you can help keep me in check. I don't know if Momo can do it alone. Izuku can tell you how reckless I may be sometimes, Izuku and mom can barely handle."
Momo looked at Izuku for confirmation, he just slowly nodded his head looking as if he was experiencing some traumatic flashbacks.
Naruto's statement seemed to reinvigorate Iida, as he immediately snapped out of his depression and had a look of passion in his eyes, "You are correct, being a hero isn't always about being in the spotlight, it's about helping out any way you can. I may not be class representative, but I shall make sure you are able to be the best one you can possibly be."
Naruto sweat dropped when he saw the display, he was beginning to regret telling Iida he could help him now.
His thoughts were sidetracked when he felt as if someone was watching him. He turned to the side of the table to see the short girl with green hair that was in their class. She was just staring at them until Naruto said, "Umm, hello there."
The short girl was still staring at him intently, but actually responded, "Hello, I was one of the people that voted for you."
This caught the attention of everyone at the table, Naruto decided to ask the question they were all thinking, "Why?"
The green haired girl shrugged her shoulders, "Well, it was your idea to have the rep be decided by vote and you scored number one during out quirk apprehension test. It just seemed like a solid decision to choose you.
Naruto scratched the back of his head awkwardly, not used to receiving compliments, "Oh, uhhh. Thank you um…"
"Tsuyu Asui, but just call me Tsu," the now named Tsuyu Asui said.
Naruto nodded his head, "Well then thank you Tsu, I'm Naruto. You're welcome to sit with us if you want."
Tsuyu nodded her head and took a seat near Ochaco, who was happy to get to know the newest addition to their little group.
There talking was cut short however, when they heard alarms blaring throughout the cafeteria. They found out that it meant a security breach and rushed to get out of there. Unfortunately for them, everyone else had the same idea, causing a major backup of students to form.
Naruto was being pushed to the glass and saw something that made him groan in annoyance. It was just the press, they somehow managed to get onto the grounds, but they were in no danger. He wanted to tell everyone so that they won't kill each other, but he couldn't get their attention.
He saw that Iida happened to be close to him and said, "Iida, can you put me on your shoulders, I know what's going on and I think I can stop this stampede."
Iida nodded to show his compliance and, with some difficulty, was able to get Naruto on his shoulders. Naruto activated his quirk up to a point that he had no tails and loudly roared with his new magnified lungs. This caused everyone to cover their ears and look towards the source of the noise.
Once he thought he had everyone's attention he cleared his throat and said, "EVERYONE SETTLE DOWN, WE ARE IN NO DANGER. IT IS JUST A BUNCH OF NOSY JOURNALIST. WE CAN ALL GET OUT OF HERE IN ONE PIECE IF WE JUST GO SLOW, UNDERSTOOD," when he got no immediate answer he said again, louder, "UNDERSTOOD!" Everyone then nodded their heads in unison.
Naruto calmed down a little and calmly said, "Okay, those at the front, form 4 lines. Two on the left, two on the right. Everyone just follow the person behind you if you are confused as to where to go. Once we have the lines established, we can all get out of here in a calm and orderly manner, got it," he received a chorus of 'Yes' from the crowd of students. They all followed the directions and were able to get out of the cafeteria in a timely manner.
When they got into their classes everyone congratulated Naruto on the fantastic way he handled the mass of students. They felt content knowing that he was their class representative. Except Bakugo, but we don't count him.
Aizawa was at the front of the classroom, explaining a new lesson the heroes in training will learn today, "Okay, so the lesson today will be a bit different. You will have two other teachers besides me that will be assisting you today. We'll be going to a different building so get your hero gear on and hop on the bus. Naruto, your suit is still being fixed so you'll have to wear the school sanctioned training uniform."
Naruto nodded in understanding and the rest of the class went to get their costumes. Though Iida was noticeably a lot more cautious when approaching his locker. Ultimately having Izuku help him open it.
When they went on the bus the students began to chatter excitedly about what their lesson was going to be about, excited at the possibility to learn something new. They never were prepared for what was to come only moments later.
AN: There we go another chapter. This was more of a cool down chapter, due to all to action that was in the last one. I hope I was able to pull of a legendary Naruto prank, and I hope you enjoyed the time Izuku and Naruto spent by themselves. I'm too tired to write anything else so with that, like if you did, follow if you want to know what happens next, and comment to tell me what you think. Constructive criticism is appreciated and even flames are allowed because who am I to stop you. With that said, see you all next time.
