When Naruto sat down and the bell rang, Mr. Aizawa told them they were going to do some kind of training session. He then told everyone to get on the bus after getting into their costume. Deku's was messed up from the last fight, so he was in his normal P.E. Uniform. Naruto opted to leave his cape out this time, having just his orange jumpsuit on.
While everyone was on the bus, they chatted happily and Naruto tried saving up what energy he could for the exercise. He had completely exhausted his reserves at the last battle, but was now just a little more efficient at saving and storing his Quirk. He overheard Tsuyu Asui ask Deku if his Quirk was like All Might's, but Deku brushed it off. A few other students started reading Bakugo, who got mad and said he was gonna kill them or something. They are so used to his attitude by now that they knew he wouldn't actually do anything.
After a while, the bus stopped and everybody got off. Naruto happily stretched his legs and followed Mr. Aizawa and the rest of the class inside. The building was so large that Naruto could barely see both ends of it while being so close. When they walked through the door, there was a roughly 50-meter red carpet leading to a bunch of stairs. All around, there were various disasters such as a fire, windstorm, flood, and many others. Naruto and the others looked in awe at the scene around them.
"Hello there!" The group turned their attention to the Pro Hero standing in front of them. Naruto grumbled under his breath, while Uraraka stood excitedly, practically dying at the chance to meet one of her favorite heroes.
"It's the Pro Hero 13!" Deku said excitedly.
"Umm, who is that exactly?" Naruto leaned over and whispered to Deku curiously.
"She's incredible. She is famous for saving lives from Natural Disasters and things like that. Though she isn't usually in combat, 13 is still incredibly famous and awesome!" Naruto nodded. Aizawa leaned over to the Hero 13, and Naruto saw Deku raise his eyebrows as they mentioned All Might and 13 raised three fingers. Weird, he thought but didn't press.
"This is where we will prepare you for natural disasters. I've created this facility to emulate various types of places you'll have to save people from, including Landslide, Fire, Windstorm, and basically any Natural Disaster I could think of! I call it the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, or USJ for short!"
"Just like Universal Studios Japan." Many students noticed at the same time. 13 didn't seem to notice and kept going.
"Before we get started I have one thing to say to you. Well, more like two things or three things. Or four or five-" a few students sighed or said, "We get it." And 13 moved on.
"I'm sure your aware that I have a powerful Quirk." Naruto didn't feel like this was moving in a good direction. "It's called Black Hole. I can use it to suck up anything and turn it into dust."
"Yeah you've used Black Hole to save people from all kinds of disasters, haven't you?" Deku interrupted and Uraraka agreed excitedly, nodding her head at a million miles an hour.
"That's true. But my Quirk could also very easily be used to kill." Naruto shifted his gaze as he felt 13's stare, though she wasn't actually looking at him. People gasped as 13 said this. "Some of you also have powers that can be dangerous." Naruto looked up at the strange teacher. Was she saying this only because he was here? Naruto shook his head. No, the way she was acting earlier she would probably say it anyways.
"In our Superhuman Society all Quirks are certified and carefully regulated. Because of this, we often overlook how dangerous they actually are. Please don't forget that if you lose focus or make the wrong move, your power could be deadly. Even if you are trying to do something virtuous, like rescuing someone. Thanks to Aizawa's fitness test and the Battle training you've received, you have a solid idea of your quirks potential and risks. You're going to need those lessons in this class. Today, you're going to use your powers not to fight, but to help people. After all, that's what being a hero is all about-ensuring the safety of others! That's all I have to say." 13 bowed and Naruto looked up in excitement. Despite being so dangerous, she controls her quirk and has become really cool! Naruto clenched his fist in determination, ready to do whatever it took to use his powers and save people.
"Thank you for listening." 13 stood up straight and everybody cheered.
"Right. Now that that's over.." Aizawa pointed down the stairs, so he could organize the students into their teams to train. Suddenly, the lights began darkening and a purple dot appeared in the middle of the Training Center. A few people gasped as the dot grew larger. Aizawa tensed up, getting ready for battle.
"I thought we weren't using our powers to fight. What's going on?" Naruto asked, confused at why 13 would say such an inspiring speech for them to just practice sparring.
"Stay together and don't move!" Aizawa's tone suddenly grew serious and he was no longer slouching. "13, protect the students." 13 nodded, and a few students gasped in shock. What is going on, ran through about all of their heads.
The purple dot was now about the size of a melon, and someone's hand could be seen coming through. It dramatically became as big as the wall of a large room, and Villains started coming through. Naruto was frozen to the spot. He had never seen so many villains in one area, and a few in particular looked very dangerous. All the other students were frozen in shock as well. Deku stepped forward.
"Stay back!" Everyone flinched at Aizawa's tone, having never heard it so urgent. "This isn't a test. Those are real Villains." Naruto'a breath grew shaky, and hear could hear Deku next to him getting nervous as well.
Dang it, Naruto realized. I probably don't have the energy saved up to last many fights, especially after Haku and healing my two classmates. Naruto's weakness was long lasting fights, and two have two of them back to back at his experience level would probably be close to impossible. If worst comes to worst, I'll just have to use a Tail. Naruto's lips drew a thin line. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
Naruto Heard- a voice which seemed to come out of nowhere. After a while, he realized it was coming from the purple mist, who had taken the shape of a man.
"The only real Heroes I see are 13 and Eraserhead. Perplexing. According to the schedule we retrieved from U.A., All Might should be here as well. And that Tailed kid." Only Aizawa, 13, and Naruto understood the last sentence. Crap, Naruto thought. What do they want with me?
"So you scumbags used the press as a cover to sneak onto the campus and get a look at our records." Naruto looked over at the Sensei, realizing that meant that whoever these people were probably realized Naruto's second nature and his Tail.
"Where is he?" The man with hands covering his body asked. "Where is the Symbol of Peace? I even went through the trouble of bringing so many friends eager to meet him! They want All Might, who apparently isn't here. Maybe if I kill a few kids he'll come out to play." 13 stood in front of the class protectively and Aizawa prepared himself for battle. He wouldn't have had any weapons on him except his ragged scarf, as this was supposed to be a Natural Disaster exercise. Regardless, he showed no fear as he stared into the pure evil mass of Villains.
"Why aren't the alarms going off?" The deputy, Momo, asked 13.
"Good question, I don't know."
"It's possible one of them has a Quirk that can block the signals." One of the students noted. Everyone looked at each other nervously.
"I'll hold them off. You get the students out of here safely." Naruto saw Deku think about what the teacher had just said.
"But you're not as good in a group, you're better at stealth and one on one fighting!" Naruto realized he was right. Aizawa gave a chilling smile.
"You can't be a Pro if you only have one trick." They could only watch as their teacher jumped into the fray, impressively taking out villains left and right.
"Ok everyone, let's get you out of here and call some Pro's." The students began walking to the exit, then running on shaky legs. They were about halfway there when the purple Villain from earlier blocked their path.
"I don't think so. We can't have you calling anymore of your friends now can we?" 13 reacted quickly, opening the cap on her finger, but couldn't use her Quirk. Bakugo and Kirishima jumped the Villain.
"No, you idiots!" 13 yelled at the two first-years, unable to stop them as the Villain counteracted. A cloud of purple spread over the group. It was so thick Naruto couldn't see a thing, or hear anyone for that matter. What's going on? He thought, unable to escape the purple mass. After a few seconds, it disappeared.
Naruto gasped. He had been teleported right in front of the Villain covered in hands.
"You know, we learned quite an interesting tidbit of information during our little excursion here, Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto took a step back. He had almost no energy left to fight, especially a Villain this powerful. He couldn't release one of his tails either, for fear of hurting one of his classmates or friends.
"Wh-what could be so interesting about me?" Holding out a tiny sliver of hope that Shigaraki would believe he was mistaken, Naruto tried stalling for time.
"Come now, don't be like that. You're one of those Tailed Quirked brats. You know, if you hate it so much, I do know someone who could get rid of it for you." How did they know so much about that? Naruto thought, unable to figure what to do.
"Ha. I could forsake this Quirk to anyone I choose. Personally, I don't trust your 'friend' with this power. What makes you think I'd take your stupid deal, huh? You're an idiot if you think I'd join your side, y'know." Shigaraki leaned forward. It was disturbing not being able to see the man's face.
"Ah what a shame. Oh well, guess we'll have to force it out of you." Shigaraki reached out to touch Naruto, but was met with only a gust of wind. Naruto used his Quirk to escape Shigaraki's attack, the he was running out of time. Shigaraki laughed, setting Naruto even more on edge if that was possible.
"You know, we came here to kill All Might," The silver-haired boy made another lunge for Naruto, who expertly dodged. "But if we get to take you home as a prize it will be all the better for us."
"Naruto!" Naruto heard 13 cry his name, but didn't have time to think about as Shigaraki used the moment to attack. Dang it he's so fast, Naruto thought, dodging again. It was like a game of Cat and Mouse, except Naruto didn't have a little hole he could hide in. Shigaraki brushed his hand and Naruto had to use more energy to heal it. That time I got on the bus isn't going to last long.
"Oh, are you slowing down? But we just started." Naruto grunted as he dodged again. He knew his anger was rising, but he would have to control it. He couldn't risk injuring anyone here.
"Gah!" Somehow Shigaraki got him again. How was he so fast? Naruto was nearly out of energy, and was forced to stop using his Quirk so he wouldn't exhaust himself. When he completely used up his reserves, it made him too tired to fight, and that wouldn't be good now.
Naruto was still somehow dodging Shigaraki, though a few passing touches got him here and there. He was bleeding, though not heavily. He tried jumping back again but fell into a portal.
"Hey no fair, two against one!" He was now once again right in front of Shigaraki. The Villain reached his hand out to grab Naruto.
Aizawa saw the trouble Naruto was in, but couldn't get to his side for a while. He was fighting Villains left and right, but his eyes were getting dry and he was starting to tire. 13 was busy protecting other students, and it's possible Iida managed to get away, but he couldn't be sure.
He dodged another Villain, taking him down along with two others. The number was endless, and Naruto was running out of time. He saw Naruto fall into a portal, and brought right back in front of Shigaraki.
It's now or never, Aizawa thought, rushing to help Naruto. Some Villain managed to get in front of him, blocking his way for a fraction of a second. However, that was all Shigaraki needed to touch Naruto's shoulder.
"Aaahhhhhhh!!!!" Naruto cried out, dodging too late. His jacket was missing at the shoulder, and it looked like the skin had disintegrated, leaving the muscle exposed. Aizawa got to Naruto and stood in front of him.
"Are you ok? Sorry I couldn't get here in time." Naruto panted, using the smallest bit of Tailed energy to heal himself.
"I'll be fine."
"Naruto, what are you doing? You agreed not to use that power without our permission." Naruto stopped the Cloak, and panted heavily.
"I haven't been able to save up energy since my last fight. I'm not going to lose control at this level, and I'm just healing myself." Aizawa nodded.
"Very well. But remember that your classmates are in here. You can't risk injuring them by getting careless." Naruto nodded. He felt a little more energized now that he was able to use a Tail.
Naruto grunted, feeling something curl around his neck. Aizawa looked back as Naruto struggled against the huge arm. Shigaraki took this as his chance to grab Aizawa's elbow, disintegrating it and further slowing Aizawa down.
Naruto struggled against the huge arm holding him back. The monster walked over to Aizawa, who erased his Quirk but got beaten regardless. He has this strength even without his quirk, Naruto realized.
"This is NOMU, isn't he incredible? He was designed to kill All Might, and can easily defeat you. As for you," Shigaraki turned to face Naruto. Naruto held a defiant gaze while struggling against the monster. "Since you won't join us, we'll just take you along for the ride." Naruto didn't like his raspy voice or the way he talked.
"Once I get out of here, you're gonna have it! You hear me!" Naruto made no progress against the one arm of the Nomu, even with a second tail creeping out of his body. In fact, the Nomu seemed to crush even harder, making it nearly impossible for Naruto to breath.
"Gah! I'll get out, just you watch!" Shigaraki touched Naruto's knee. The Cloak wasn't strong enough to harm anyone yet, so Shigaraki had no problem getting through it.
"Now how will you do that if you can't run?" Naruto watched in horror as the knee disintegrated to the bone, leaving enough that it would heal but be hard to walk.
Naruto smiled as he used the Cloak's energy to heal himself. The smile, however, was getting harder and harder to keep on his face as the fight went on and his anger grew. A third tail popped up, and Naruto managed to push Nomu's arm enough to slide out of it.
"Impressive. You can even use your Quirk to heal." Aizawa was still under Nomu's foot and Naruto was having a hard time coming up with a strategy.
"You know what, I'm done running. It's time to show you what a real Hidden Leaf Ninja can do." Naruto focused his energy into his hand.
"RASENGAN!!" He yelled, lunging at the silver-haired Villain. Shigaraki didn't dodge in time, and Kurogiri jumped in to help. Shigaraki held his side as he jumped out of the portal. Naruto didn't fall for the portal trick again, and jumped away before he could get caught. He growled at Shigaraki.
"I'm not done with you!" He said, lunging forward again. "I was scared before, but that's over now. I'm a freaking Hidden Leaf Ninja, and I won't let you or anyone else use my power!" Naruto got ready to attack again, until he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up, seeing a familiar face.
"A-All Might. You're here." All Might gave him a smile.
"It's ok now Young Uzumaki. You don't have to fight any longer. Help Midoriya and the others get Aizawa to the exit." Naruto stood there for a few seconds, before he nodded his head and went over to where Mr. Aizawa was laying down, out of reach from the Nomu. Deku was picking him up, and Naruto helped him.
As they passed All Might, Deku gave him a look.
"All Might, that Nomu has All for-has multiple powers. You can't fight him!" Naruto raised an eyebrow when he heard this. All Might was the No. 1 Hero, of course he could handle it. All Might gave Deku a smile. Naruto watched the exchange curiously, but Aizawa shifted and groaned in pain.
"We gotta hurry Deku, I can heal him slightly but only if I'm somewhere we won't get attacked." Deku looked back and nodded, taking the other side of Aizawa and helping Naruto carry him.
Luckily, every time his cloak was visible Nomu had been between him and Deku, so his friend didn't ask anything about it on the way there. Still, Naruto couldn't help but wonder if he should tell his friend about his Tails. After a while, Deku paused.
"Guys. Do you think you can take Mr. Aizawa?" Tsu nodded with Naruto.
"What are you planning on doing?" He asked, worried.
"I'm going to help All Might." Naruto sighed.
"You're crazy. But... I agree. I'm coming with you. I might have a way to help as well. Not a plan, but it'll work in helping him last a little longer. Tsu do you think you can carry him yourself?" Tsu nodded, and the two ran back to the fray.
Ok I hope you liked that I'm kinda just going with the flow here and writing whatever comes to my head lol. Next chapter will come out soon.
