2 Days Later
Naruto and Momo were sitting on the train on their way to school, last 2 days the entire class of 1-A with the exception of Tenya would come over Naruto's house and hang out as well as train, "Can't believe we have to go back already." Naruto sighed looking out the window at the rainy sky
"Can't be helped, at least summer vacation is around the corner." Momo said
"What are we going to be doing for that?" Naruto asked looking at his girlfriend
"I don't know haven't really thought about it." Momo smiled
"Excuse me."
The couple looked up at a mother and her son who was holding a notebook, "Aren't you guys Naruto and Momo of Class 1-A?"
Everyone on the train looked over as Naruto and Momo smiled nodding, "Would it be to much if my son got your autographs?"
"N-no problem." Naruto said taking the notebook and pen and signing his name before handing it to Momo
"You both did really well in the Festival, especially the final match."
"Thank you." Naruto and Momo said
"Keep doing your best, we're rooting for you!"
Later
Naruto sat at his desk as everyone spoke, about how recognisable they were all of the sudden, "I had all these people talking to me on the way here!" Mina said
"Same here! So many stares it was embarrassing!"
"Me too!" Eijiro yelled
"You won't believe what all these middle school brats yelled at me." Hanta frowned
"Nice try." Tsyu/Naruto said causing Hanta to groan and clutch his head as everyone chuckled
"I can't believe one little event, and suddenly the worlds got its eye on us." Denki said
"Well I'd say the world had its eye on us since the USJ attack." Naruto replied glancing over to a quiet Tenya as the bell went off and a bandage free Aizawa entered
"Morning." Aizawa said walking toward his desk
"Ribbit, good to see your bandages off, Aizawa-sensei." Tsu said
"The old lady's treatment was excessive." Aizawa said rubbing a scar under his eye, "But never mind that. Today we've got Hero Informatics class. And a special one at that."
"Stuff about hero law and junk...I suck at that.." Eijiro thought
"A special one? Don't tell me its a pop quiz! Give us a break!" Kaminari thought
"You'll be coming up with your hero names." Aizawa said causing everyone to cheer as Naruto frowned having always had 4 names at the forefront of his mind when he was coming up with names with his parents, Godspeed, The Flash, Orange Racer, and Orange Hokage.
"But first concerning the pro draft picks I mentioned the other day..its based on who the pros think will be ready to join the hero workforce after another two or three years of experience. So you could say that its for a way to show interest in your futures. Although there is ample time for their interest to wane before you graduate. And any and all offers can be arbitrarily revoked. It happens quite often. "
"So of we're picked now, that just means there'all be higher hurdles in the years to come." Momo said
"Yes. Now, here's the complete draft pick numbers."Aizawa said as he pressed a button and names and numbers appeared
Uzumaki - 5,246
Yaoyorozu- 5,223
Todoroki- 4,123
Kaminari- 3,873
Bakugo- 3,456
Kirishima- 3,455
Ashido- 2,123
Uraraka- 2,020
Ida-1,301
Asui- 1,045
Tokoyami - 808
Sero- 14
"Usually there's more of a spread, but a lot of you stole the spot light this year." Aizawa said as Uraraka shook Tenya excited
"People want us!"
"These pros have no eyes for talent." Yuga huffed
"Aw man." Izuku said seeing his name not up there
"You didn't really show off your quirk at all in the festival, plus you kept crying and stayed with that nervous expression through the entire event." Naruto said to Izuku, "Remember you can't just be strong to be a pro, even though it helps, but your charisma and personality has to be able to make people feel safe."
"I guess I never really thought about that." Izuku muttered
"With that settled whether you were picked or not you will all have a chance to work alongside the pros. Its true that you all have already experienced more than most, but seeing the pros in action an taking part yourselves will still be worthwhile training."
"That's where our hero names come in!" Rikido said excited
"This is getting fun!" Ochaco cheered
"They're only tentative but you'd still want to pick something appropriate, or.."
"You'll know true hell." Midnight said walking into the class, "The name you pick now may be what the world ends up calling you. That's happened to plenty of pros out there."
"Yes true enough. Midnight will be assessing the sensibility of the names you pick." Aizawa said grabbing his sleeping bag, "What future do you see for yourselves? The names you puck will bring you closer to cementing a certain image. Like with All Might."
Markers and white boards were passed among the students as Naruto frowned looking at his board, before he looked at his hands, one vibrated, while a small rasengan formed for a moment
"What do I come up with? I have so many paths I can take with my power. Speed, Elements, Healing, Clones, much so much more. I don't want to be trapped in a box, I want to be...huh?" Naruto was so caught up in his thoughts he didn't know that he was writing a name unconsciously
SAGE OF SIX PATHS-RIKUDO SENNIN
"Rikudo Sennin? What the hell is that?' Naruto thought confused, before he frowned "First with healing Toshi-oji and my chakra turning orange all of the sudden, now I'm coming up with names I never heard of before...something is happening with me, but what?"
Erasing the name, Naruto took a deep breath and thought about his hero name
15 Minutes Later
"Now students which of you are ready to share?" Midnight asked
"!" everyone looked shock that they had to present their names
Yuga was the first to stand and make his way over to the podium, "Hold your breath. The Shining Hero- My name is I cannot stop twinkling!" Yuga announced proudly "You can not deny my sparkle."
Naruto bit his young to hold in a laugh as everyone stared at Yuga, "It'll be easier to say if you take out the 'I' and contract the Cannot into can't."
"She likes it?" the class thought
"I see mademoiselle." Yuga nodded
"Okay I'm next!" Mina yelled running up to present her name, "Call me Alien Queen!"
"From the sequel?! Is it because her blood was super acidic?! That's terrible!" Midnight yelled having always been scared of that movie
"Dangit." Mina pouted walking to her seat
"The weird ones were the first to volunteer so the rest all feel like they have to come up with something good." Midnight seeing some erase their names
"Ribbit, can I go next please?" Tsuyu asked
"Sure. Come on up." Midnight smiled before Tsuyu walked up to the front of the class and showed her board
"I've had this thought out since elementary school. Call me Froppy."
"So cute! It makes you sound like you'd be east to get to know! The rest of you take, take note. this is a perfectly lovable name!"
Everyone smiled and began to chant 'Froppy'
Next Naruto walked up, "I thought long and hard about this, I wanted something that would honor my parents and this is what I came up with. I am Orange Maelstrom!" he said
"Oh Yellow Flash, and Red Death, the colors of your parents makes Orange, and a meaning of Naruto is Maelstrom. They'd be proud." Midnight nodded smiling as Aizawa who was feigning being sleep smiled
After that the naming process went by quickly with the exception of Bakugo who couldn't find a name without the words king and murder, before Midoriya went up and showed his board causing everyone to blink in surprise
"You sure Izuku? That could be your name forever." Denki wondered
"Yes, at first I hated it, but someone told me what else it could mean, so now I love it. I am Deku." Izuku smiled as Bakugo looked up in surprise
Flashback
Bakugo stood across from Naruto outside the gate to his estate, "Before I agree to train you, there are 2 things that need to happen."
"What?' Katsuki asked
"First, why do you want to be a pro hero so bad? And I want an honest answer not some macho man garbage." Naruto frowned which Bakugo returned
"I am the first person in my family to have a quirk good enough to be a Pro. My dad dreamed of being one but his quirk wasn't suited for saving people, so I want to be a pro because it'll make my parents proud and help me give them an easier go of things." Katsuki said seriously
"I see." Naruto nodded, "Second thing I need of you is to drop whatever problem it is you have with Izuku."
"Eh?!"
"If your throwing bitch fits every time Izuku grows stronger, you hold yourself back. No one grows stronger worried about someone else's progress. So drop it here and now." Naruto said causing Katsuki to frown
"...Fine." Katsuki said causing Naruto to smile
"Great, let's begin training, everyone else has already started." Naruto smirked opening the gate and leading Bakugo inside
End Flashback
Bakugo looked down at his work and continued to try and come up with a name
Later
After everyone gained a satisfactory name Aizawa stood up and addressed his class, "You're internships start in a week. For this all important decision I'll be handing out personalized list to those who were drafted. You may choose from among those who scouted you. For those who were not drafted the list I just passed out contains forty agencies from all over the country willing to accept interns. You will choose one from that list. Each has a different specialty and reason, so give your choice some real thought. You have till the weekend to decide."
"Have you decided on where your going, Naruto?" Mina asked
"Ribbit, won't you go to your families The Whirlpool Hero Agency?'
"Naw, I mean I will end up there when I go pro anyway, but I'll be interning with my great-uncle. He's retired from the pro circuit but he still is a strong old man who can help me not be so reliant on my speed quirk." Naruto said getting nods
"I'd like a place where I can deal with floods." Tsuyu said
"Don't be to hasty you should research all of the agencies as some of them are weird, and probably won't be of much help to you being the type of hero you want to be." Naruto said as Bakugo hurriedly wrote down a name,
"I'll go with the Battle Hero Gunhead."
"Really? Isn't he a rough and tumble scrapper?" Izuku asked
"Yeah, he drafted me! and Gunhead is one of the top martial artist heroes, I really want to learn Martial Arts so that I'm not to reliant on my quirk." Ochaco said
"What about you Shoto?" Naruto asked
"My father's agency. I want to see what makes him worthy of being the number 2 hero." Shoto said getting a nod before he looked to Tenya,
"Tenya." Naruto called causing the glasses wearing student to look at him, "You've been awfully quiet. I just wanted you to know that we all are here for you if you just want to vent."
Tenya saw everyone nod as they agreed with Naruto, before he smiled, "Thank you, I appreciate it." he said as Todoroki and Naruto frowned noticing the look in his eyes and the fact his smile didn't reach his eyes
2 Days Later, Train Station
Class 1-A stood with their costumes, as Aizawa spoke, "You got your costumes, right? Remember wearing them in public is prohibited but don't drop them."
"Got ya!" Mina yelled as everyone in the station pointed at the class
"Speak properly Ashido, its 'yes sir'."
"Yes sir." Mina pouted
"All of you be on your best behavior, now go." Aizawa said before he walked up to Naruto and placed a hand on his shoulder, "The old coot, will probably be lienent with you on a few things, because your his nephew and your brief stint as a vigilante. Be careful Naruto, lots of eyes are on you especially."
"I will Shota-ni." Naruto nodded
"Later." Aizawa said with a small wave before he left and Naruto gave a small shout as Mina tackled him in a hug
"A whole week without seeing you, I'll miss you Naruto!" Mina said
"Yeah, same here.' Naruto said before Mina kissed his cheek,
"Be sure to call and text everyday." Mina said leaving as Naruto placed a hand to his cheek and looked to Momo
"That was bold of her."
"Mina is a bold girl." Momo said before she kissed Naruto who returned it, "I'll miss you."
"Well absence make the heart grow fonder. Its only a week, and it may go by super quickly." Naruto smiled
"Hope so. Do your best." Momo said kissing Naruto again before she headed off with Jiro
Naruto smiled and walked off, looking around before he sped off,
Later
Izuku walked down the street looking at the address All Might gave him, "A hero that scares the pants off All Might, Gran Torino. I've never heard if him, but he's gotta be one awesome guy."
Izuku stopped looking at the shabby home, "Is this the right address?" he asked himself walking to the door and opening it, "Hello...I've come from U.A High School. My name is Izuku Midoriya. Pleasure to meet...AH!"
Izuku yelled as an old man in a hero suit was face down in a red puddle with his entrails out, "He's dead!"
"I'm alive." Gran Torino said sitting up
"Izuku?'
Izuku turned to see Naruto with grocery bags and a duffel bag in hand, "N-Naruto? What're you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same." Naruto said walking up to the house and seeing Gran Torino standing up, "You clumsy old coot, I told you to wait to heat up those sausages."
"I was hungry, and that's no way to talk to your uncle!" Gran Torino yelled as Naruto's eyebrow twitched, before Gran Torino looked to Izuku, "And who are you?!'
"I'm Izuku Midoriya. I've come from U.A.!" Izuku yelled
"What?!" Gran Torino asked
"I'm Izuku Midoriya!"
"He's messing with you." Naruto said
"Huh?"
"He likes to act like Yoda." Naruto said cleaning up the spilled sausages and ketchup, "Did you draft Izuku?"
"That's right. If Tos-All Might wasn't going to give you One For All like we planned then he could've at least given it to someone who would know not to use it in such an embarrassing way." Gran Torino said as Izuku looked at Naruto in shock
"You know why I turned it down." Naruto frowned
"Hn. Yes and All Might was given a clean bill of health, and what's more he is no longer losing One for All, your chakra restored his torch, putting him back in his prime." Gran Torino said before he looked to Izuku, "You boy, fire off an attack, show me your One For All." Gran Torino demanded as Izuku looked confused "I'd like to know to what degree you can control it."
"Um,"
"Just do it. You'll never be able to hit him anyway." Naruto said heading upstairs, "Can't believe you still live in this dump."
"I heard that!" Gran Torino yelled at Naruto
"B-but," Izuku was about to began but Gran Torino began to ricochet off the walls as air shot from the holes in the soles of his shoes
"I watched you on the sports festival, you would've continued breaking your fingers if Naruto didn't end the match so quickly.' Gran Torino said with a sigh, "Hurry up and get your costume on and fire that attack, I don't have all day.,"
"R-right." Izuku quickly went to his suitcase and began to get into his costume taking a moment to read the instructions as the support team did some adjustments
15 Minutes Later
Naruto was sitting in the backyard under a tree as he used his wind chakra to cut leaves in half, his wind nature was something he never mastered and he hoped to change that,
"Well?" Naruto asked as Gran Torino walked out
"He has potential, but he won't be able to truly move forward if he can't figure out a less destructive way to use One For All." Gran Torino said before he slapped a seal on Naruto's chest causing Naruto to grunt as the seal glowed and burned itself into his chest, "There we go, no more Speed Force till I say."
"Did you have to just spring that?!" Naruto yelled
"You've gotten reliant on it and that it not a good sign. Pretty sure the entire world now knows that Speedsters are weak in low temperatures. You went from hardly using it to always using it while you drain away your chakra. This week you'll be learning to use your chakra better, and only in case of emergencies with my express permission will you use our families quirk."
Naruto nodded
"Combat wise you are as good as most pros, so you don't need my expertise. Your just like Minato that way, so you will focus on training your body, and control of your chakra." Gran Torino said causing Naruto to nod before he went to create some clones but a jab to his ribs from his uncles walking stick caused him to drop to his knees, "No clones, let's not forget this is also your punishment for taking on that Godspeed persona to hunt down your parents murderers."
Naruto frowned remembering how he used his henge technique and his speed quirk to hunt down criminals with connections to his parents death, even though till this day the culprits remain at large, Gran Torino grabbed Naruto and suddenly sped off in a white lightning trail before dropping Naruto in a forest of palm trees with a river nearby, "This should do, tree climbing and water walking. Get to it."
"Right." Naruto said before he turned to a tree
Gran Torino watched his nephew begin the tree walking exercise, "You're a genius just like your father, well not just like him. Minato got everything so easy, whereas you find ways to achieve things and keep working till you're a master at whatever it is. With how strong you are it is a miracle in itself that you didn't turn out as some arrogant brat, but you still need to be humbled. I'll get in touch with Toshinori later." the old man thought watching as Naruto was running up the tree before he was sent rocketing into a tree
Naruto slid to the ground clutching the lump that formed on the back of his head, before he got back up and tried again
In the center of Tokyo, Katsuki arrived at Best Jeanist's Hero Agency. Best Jeanist admits that he wasn't very fond of Katsuki because of his attitude despite being talented enough to take on as a sidekick. Katsuki is irritated by the Number 4 Hero's lecture and tried to approach him, forcing the Pro to restrain him using his Quirk. Best Jeanist continued, stating that he will transform Katsuki into an exemplary hero by the end of their time together.
At Fourth Kind's Hero Agency, Eijiro and Tetsutetsu discover they have both chosen to study under the Chivalrous Hero: Fourth Kind. Uraraka learns from the Battle Hero: Gunhead and Momo joins Itsuka Kendo of Class B in interning with the Snake Hero: Uwabami. Kyoka trained with Deatharms, and Tsuyu appeard to be working with the Navy. In Hosu City, Tenya had chosen to intern at Normal Hero Manual's office. As they patrol the streets together, Tenya grew even more determined to find the Hero Killer that paralyzed his brother.
