Chapter 7: The Power of a Calamity
IN THE AFTERNOON
A pair of red-eyes were glued on a casing inside the closet that held an old trench coat, black with a red-cloud design on it while next to it was a red-kitsune mask with cracks on it.
"Red..." Nozomu muttered before his gaze focused on the mask itself.
"Nozomu." It was with that question a hand fell upon Nozomu's head which gained his attention to see his father peering over.
"What have I told you?"
"Not to go into your office by myself."
"And what did you do?"
"...went into your office by myself."
With that small exchange came a sigh from his father yet he smiles.
"Where's your sister Tsuki?" This question caused him to look up, appearing to be in thought despite looking more sloth yet only gets a chuckle from the man who ruffles his son's hair.
"Most likely out adventuring with Rover." He kneels next to his son.
"Why not go out by yourself for once," His gaze turned to wonder. "Your sister tended to go out adventuring by herself at your age but you prefer to stay—" He stops at seeing Nozomu looking away, becoming uncomfortable.
"Is something the matter—" He stops at seeing his son perk his head up and turn towards one direction on high alert, taking the blonde by surprise.
"Nozomu—" He stopped at the moment, his ears having perked upon a loud explosion being heard from the harbor and it was followed by more explosions taking place. This merely caused the look on Naruto's face to darken as he frowns with anger forming in his eyes before he stops and feels a hand grasp his own, looking down he saw the concerned Nozomu looking up at him.
"There are four people..." In an instant his eyes shit wide, looking down at his son.
"What?"
"I don't recognize them...They don't sound or smell familiar." His words merely shock the father that such a thing is possible.
"Nozomu...you..." He stops and stared into his son's eyes before he bends down and picks the child up in his arms.
"Let's go find Mommy and your sister..." After saying that, his gaze moves to the door to see Nyan and Phoenix.
"Let the students fight them and only interfere if their lives are truly in danger." That single order had resulted in the two left without a word for the enemies. With this, Naruto takes one last look at his old outfit before he shuts the door and moves with his son where his wife and daughter were.
It didn't take Naruto long to get it his wife and hand his son over to her so they can head to the shelter before going off on his own. Despite her being a Pro, the wiser move was letting him deal with the threat. As of now, he had arrived on one of the buildings, allowing him the ability to overlook the city but more so the battle taking place below which involved a red-head, and two blonde students fighting some mummy-man using inanimate objects as weapons.
"Too many openings." Muttered the man who had witnessed Katsuki being lifted in the air by the bandages of the villain before he was entirely wrapped by them.
"Objects wrapped in my Bandages move according to my will. I can't affect living things but your body is covered by much that is inanimate. Your weapons, armor, clothes, there mine to control." As the mummy spoke, he was using the student to attack the other two with the man simply watching in disappointment.
"What do we even do?!" Eijiro questions Denki who stood at his side, both seeing many objects having been raised high into the air, wrapped by bandages until their attention turns when something came landing behind the two who turns to find the man himself, Naruto standing behind them with his hands in his pockets. Clothing consisting of what looks close to his old military uniform of camo.
"Who the fuck are you?!" He demands the man whose gaze just focuses on him.
"I'm the one in charge of the sanctuary here. If you surrender now and tell me why you here, I can assure you—" He stops upon seeing the controlled Katsuki flew down right towards him which he jumps back with the other two students, avoiding the crater being made from his fist.
"That dude's controlling him, sir."
"What are we supposed to do?"
Yet even when this was asked, Eijiro felt uncomfortable at the presence of Naruto, feeling things will end horribly and not for them. It was then that the bandages shut out, wrapping around him and the other two.
"Make your choice," Mummy began. "You can give yourself up and willingly become my puppet or—" He froze when something flicked, a black flame suddenly consuming the bandages around him before climbing up towards the villain who immediately severed it, watching it fall much to their shock yet mummy was starting to sweat from the presence he began to give off.
"A-Admit defeat now!" He shouts while Naruto just watches as more inanimate objects were wrapped in his bandages, turned into mummy-like creatures with single eyes fixated on him like the ones already wrapped with the front being Bakugo with his hair sticking out.
"Stop..." Spoke the already struggling student who surprised the red-head and blonde students, unlike Naruto who just stared with a passive expression. "SCREWING WITH ME!" The wrappings expand as an explosion was unleashed that sent the two students flying back unlike Naruto who stood his ground and just stared while something began to appear from his tailbone. Meanwhile, the bandages burned off of Bakugo who stood in a smoke cloud much to the villain's shock.
"Mummy bastard." He grits out. "Don't underestimate me!" Despite his brave words, he had already received damage with his right gauntlet having been destroyed. It was at this sight that he drew back his arms to prepare an attack until he froze, a cold chill running down his spine as a pair of hands snake their way to his head. It was this sight that took the students by surprise, seeing the man had gotten behind the villain in the opening left by Bakugo and held him in a headlock.
"I'll say this once," His hood tightens. "surrender." Despite hearing that warning, a laugh escapes his lips as he made fists that caused the wrapped objects to fly towards his back.
*SNAP*
Bakugo's eyes merely widen, along with the other two as they watched the villain's body collapse, laying on his stomach yet the head was staring at the sky, wide-eyed. With this, the inanimate objects were released as they fall, causing smaller explosions around Naruto yet he remained unfazed unlike the students, Ejiro and Denki were just horrified with Bakugo staring. Despite all the times, he shouted 'Death' or 'Kill' he had not once intended to truly kill someone but badly hurt them.
"Oh, my..." Naruto just looks to see the arrival of the horrified Kyoka and Momo who saw Naruto snap the villain's neck and what made it worse was the fact he remained unfazed. It was at this moment both Eijiro and Momo recalled the fear they felt that day crawling back to them.
"Y-You killed him..." The redhead said as he watched the tail recede and with the man's gaze fixated on him yet he just stared back.
"I am neither Hero nor Villain and I already told you once." His gaze turned cold. "Those who call themselves Villains that come to this island in hopes to harm, will be dealt with. No matter the number, it will end in just a massacre." He looks down at the body and raises a hand in which a single black flame was lit.
"Amaterasu..." With that mutter, he flicks the flame on the corpse, and immediately it was engulfed in flames of black. The students could say anything as they watched the man walk away without care while Katsuki swallows before he grits his teeth and turns in the direction where the others are, not wanting to think too much about the fact Naruto has killed an unimaginable amount of people in the war, having to match the might of Nuclear Bombs.
Naruto said nothing, nothing at all as he stared at the unconscious forms of Izuku and Katsuki, has been a rough day for the students. It was now nighttime with the sky covered in clouds where rain fell on the island and due to the damage, they were evacuated to the smaller island of the two that were connected by a single path. The animals were being kept safe, with the help of Nyan, Phoenix, and the animal whisperer himself, Koji who had to stay behind so the animals didn't get riled up.
"Food and water are being passed out to the townspeople." His gaze turns to Rumi at the doorway. "Momo has already sent out a distress signal but so far it may take a day to get immediate help." She walks over to her husband to stand next to him with a serious expression before turning annoyed as she suddenly elbowed him.
"How about you and I just deal with these shit villains by ourselves," She makes a fist and stares at it. "if we work together we can—" She stops and shudders upon a sudden gust being blown into her ear, gaining a shiver and a blushing glare towards the smiling Naruto.
"T-THIS ISN'T THE TIME, WHISKERS!" Yet even so he smiles before turning back, concerned.
"From what I know, this villain has multiple Quirks which means Hisashi is involved." He crosses his arms just as Rumi also looked concerned. "I don't want you anywhere near him so instead stay with the kids. I'll have Nyan and Phoenix deal with the other villains while I deal with the brat myself." After saying that, Rumi could see the coldness in his eyes, no matter the time that never changed while his thoughts drift.
"Nozomu isn't Quirkless." When he said that, Rumi's eyes shot wide, and looks at her husband.
"You mean..." Her words gained a nod, as of right now there both seven so it's not that long past the age of four for the Quirk to manifest but so far it seems it may be heightened senses...surpassing my own in my human state." This got a shocked expression.
"You mean he's that good...does that mean when he reaches your age his senses will rival you with your tails?" A nod was given to her before looking bothered.
"Might cause some issues with Tsuki, she hasn't yet manifested her own..." This got a sigh from the mother who scratches her head.
"This is gonna be a pain, Tsuki always wanted a Quirk while Nozomu didn't care..." The two adults just frown until they heard a knock and look to see Nozomu opening the door which surprised them as they watch their son enter with the door closing behind him.
"Papa..." The child stops in front of his parents who were looking down at them yet they show him gentle expressions.
"Nozomu, don't worry; we'll make sure—"Naruto's words were silenced, turning to utter shock just like Rumi's as their smiles dissolved from a single sentence.
"Papa...are you gonna kill again?" The two said nothing, just silence filled the room as they wondered how he even knew about that before realizing his Quirk yet even that didn't tell him everything.
"Nozomu."
"Why do you kill?"
His question caused the words to get stuck in his throat while his son stared up at him, his red eyes appearing to pierce through him while he started to sweat. Seeing this, Rumi stepped forward.
"Sweetheart, why are you—" She stops when a hand rested on her shoulder and looked to see he had regained his composure.
"Nozomu, you already know that answer very well..." He walks over towards Nozomu to place a hand on his hand yet he still looked trouble. "Don't give me that look, I do what I do if it means keeping you all safe." He kneels to his son's level.
"When you get older, you'll understand—" He shakes his hand off his head and looks at Naruto tearfully.
"I DON'T WANT DADDY TO TURN INTO A MONSTER, AGAIN!" His shout merely caused his eyes to widen momentarily as he saw the tears forming in his eyes. This mere sight caused him to look at his feet
"I'm sorry Nozomu, but I can't..." This caused his eyes to widen in shock before he looks away in anger as tears start to fall, he goes to pat his head but he turns away. Instead of being hurt, he started to smile again.
"You remind me...so much of her." This got his attention, his eyes meeting his own again. "Long ago, I knew someone...she had the same kind of viewpoint when it came to killing. Eheheh, even so, she joined the Military along with me after Highschool, yet...not once as a Soldier did she ever kill. The others on our team thought she was stupid for doing such a thing, even some of us considering getting her relegated...even me, at the time I cared too much for her and saw she would get herself killed." As he spoke, Rumi stared at her husband with a sad smile.
"In the end, I was convinced by one of our other teammates who spoke about her wishes, how they showed humanity. Despite being war, she didn't want to kill...and in turn, it made the rest of us feel like maybe there is another way. That was until I went against it and caused an even worse situation that caused so much death." He looks his son in the eye.
"I don't intend to stop how I am, for I am willing to do anything for you, your sister, and your mother." As he spoke, Nozomu was about to turn away. "Soooooooo, how about surpassing me and putting me back on my ass." This caused his son to look at his father in shock, just like Rumi.
"If you were to surpass me and take my place. That would mean I wouldn't need to do anything anymore, instead of leaving it all up to you." A finger pokes his chest. "But to surpass me is a path that won't be even remotely—" His son grabs his finger, gripping it with a large of determination in his eyes.
"I'LL DO IT!" He shouts abruptly, his hardened gaze meeting his own. "I'll get stronger so daddy doesn't have to kill because that means daddy will be sad again!" As he shouted that, Rumi's eyes widened all the way.
(Sad again...)
She looks to see the shocked expression on Naruto's face, his eyes equally wide until something started to change. This sight shocked her, as being the few times he cried as he just closed his eyes with the tears increasing, having trouble controlling himself.
"Daddy...are you—" He stopped with a hand resting on his head before the crying Naruto smiles.
"Thank you, Nozomu..." He began to ruffle his hair. "I can't tell you just how grateful I am to hear those words. To finally know, that after all these years I can finally give it a rest." As the tears stop, what he showed his son was a peaceful smile but tired eyes.
"I won't let you down!" With those words he runs out of the room, leaving the two with the unconscious students.
"Naruto, are you—" She stops to see him standing up. "I have faith in my son as you should too." He turns to looks at her with a smile.
"We have such great kids." Those words caused her to blush and look away, a smile forming on her face.
"Your damn right we do." She responds while meeting his gaze once again.
"Katsuma Shimano, huh..." Muttered the father who stood against a wall, arms crossed and outside the building with the storm having ended with a bandaged Katsuki standing on his left, staring at him.
"Yeah, the asshole villains are after the brat with a Cell quirk." As he relays this to the man, he watched him place a hand on his chin.
"Hmmmmm, from what you also told me he collapsed sooo...theirs a limit." He turns fully to Katsuki.
"Bakugo," He called which caused him to straighten. "I'll give you and Midoriya one more chance to kick that villain's ass, so I'll stay back and watch...however, if you fail there will be a penalty." A toothy grin forms on his face, causing Katsuki's eyes to narrow.
"Fine, but if I win." He points at Naruto. "Train me even after we have to leave." This merely got a smile.
"Ok, but if you looooooose..." The grin widened. "I get to have a chat with Round face." This got a reaction as Katsuki blushes before glaring at the man.
"YOU WANNA DIE YOU, WHISKERED BASTARD?!"
"Please, shout, alert everyone to outside so they'll check what's happening." His words caused almost got another shout until a voice from behind was heard.
"Is everything ok?" This question caused him to jolt and slowly turns to find Ochako standing behind him with Tsuyu, having been closest to the door.
"M-MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS!" Despite how rude he was, the two girls stared at him.
"Did you stutter?"
"S-SHUT IT ROUND-FACE!"
"You did stutter!"
As this whole scene was playing out, Naruto was smiling against the wall before sighing and looking at the sky.
"How long has it been since I thought of placing my trust in another."
The battle was on upon sunrise, with the villains being split apart into separate areas with one such being Mina and Fumikage that fought in a cave, and was losing gradually.
"Oh please!" The villain known as Kiruka said, her hair-blades clashing with that of a shadow and steel blades yet, even so, it wasn't enough.
"MINA!" Fumikage could only shout as Dark Shadow headed right towards her but even he realized it wouldn't make it, watching as the hardened and sharpened blade-like hair flew through the air towards the wide-eyed Mina, her eyes widening. It was then that something surprising got in its way, and that being one goofy-looking bird, Phoenix who got in front of her and took on the blades that stabbed into its body much to their shock at it moving so fast.
"Phoenix?!" Mina and Fumikage muttered in clear shock at one of the guards of the island who have arrived at the scene but...
"Oh no..." Mina became tearful at seeing the blood leaking from the many wounds on its body yet it didn't even react to it but stared at Kiruka who at this point was just smiling at the bird thing in front of her.
"I AM PHOENIX!" He suddenly declared, flapping his large wings. "BEGONE YOU, FOUL WENCH!" The moment Kiruka heard that last part, a tic mark formed on her forehead while the two just stare in shock at what he just called the villain just as it charges forward.
"BEAK ATTA—" He was abruptly silenced by the many hair-like blades stabbing into it, splattering blood everywhere much to the horror of the students who watched the gruesome scene as the bird hits the ground, unmoving with Kiruka approaching it and kicking it in the face.
"Damn bird!" She gritted out before looking up at the two. "No more games, I'm killing you too quickly!" As she spoke, her hairs harden once again as she approaches the two while Fumikage prepares himself unlike the shaking Mina until it happened.
"Ouch." It was with the new, deep voice came a light from behind that caused Kiruka to turn just as came to a halt. In the seconds that followed, a trail of blood began to leak from her mouth which she looks down to find an arm through her chest before back up again to be greeted by the sight. Before he stood a transformed Phoenix, he appeared to be now a humanoid bird with its body looking like armor rather than skin and feathers. He gained an extra pair of wings, armor-like scales across his body, and a large avian eye in the center of his chest.
"Why you gotta go and do that, I don't like getting serious." As he spoke those words he pulled his left arm out of her chest to allow her corpse to fall at his feet with a puddle of blood soon to follow yet it didn't change the fact the two were more horrified than grateful which he noticed.
"Geez, I save your lives and all I get is shocked silence..." Phoenix sighs as he turns away. "Whelp, best see what's happening."
Todoroki was among the group of Hero's in training trying his hardest not to vomit, unlike the others who had, before them lay the corpse of Chojuro who had his lower jaw ripped off after having the jaw forcefully widened to the point it was gory. Nyan simply sat on the corpse, happily smiling while covered in the blood of his foes.
"Boring." He spoke while tossing the lower jaw repeatedly in the air, splattering more blood on him. "And I thought he would be a challenge."
The cat monster just turns in the direction of multiple explosions taking place, followed by what looked like blue dragons flying through the air.
"Hmmmmm."
"D-DAMMIT!" Spoke Nine who was in an incredible amount of internal pain, clutching his chest. "Not now!" Yet regardless, all the obstacles he saw had been removed with his gaze moving towards the fearful children who were tearful yet even so Mahoro stood in front of her brother, protectively.
"RUN KATSUMA!" She ordered her frightened brother.
"No don't, Mahoro!" His pleas were ignored by his sister who charges forwards and stops in front of the villain, shouting and begging him to stay away from her brother.
"JUST STOP—" Immediately she was silenced by the man grabbing her by the throat, lifting her on the air at his side just as the cells in his body scream in pain, once again flinching which the grip tightens around Mahoro's throat, Katsuma, her little brother was shaking in fear as he watched his helpless sister held hostage.
"Unless you want your sister to die right now, (huff) you'll get over here!" He orders through gritted teeth much to the terror of the tearful brother.
"No, run away!" His sister spoke tearfully to her brother before the grip tightens to silence her, meanwhile the purple glowing veins increase in Nine's face painfully.
"Help me turn my desire into reality." In his left hand, the kid had begun to lose consciousness before in one quick movement he burst out into a full spirit, regardless of his own life.
"NOOOOO! I can't just give up, I promise I will protect you, Mahoro!" He screamed while Nine throws the girl away only for afoot to slam into his face in return, courtesy of one smiling Pro who sent the man flying back while in her left arm was the younger sister being wide-eyed as she stared at the dust cloud.
"Y-You—" He was cut off by Rumi picking him up in her other arm.
"No time to chat—" She ducks under a beam and starts running in the opposite direction just as the clouds disperses to reveal the enraged Nine, staring at her retreating form before raising both arms until he felt it.
"Boy." The booming voice from behind had immediately caused Nine to turn, planning on blowing whoever it was away until he was overcome by this massive killing intent that stunned him just as his right wrist was grabbed tightly and pulled, having an elbow slam into his chest where multiple cracks could be heard.
"RAHH—" Nine was cut off, even after spitting out blood the sound of his yell was silenced as the attack didn't stop, his wrist was gripped even tighter as it was completely crushed while he was pulled again in his moment of weakness to have a fist slam in his face, cracking his skull while sending him flying back with the mask breaking off.
"WHAT?!" He finally managed out to look yet no one was there until he heard something from behind only for a pair of arms to wrap around him and with that he was brought into a devastating suplex that formed a crater at the same time having pain course through Nine's body.
"ARGH—" Once again words were silenced as the foe got up before slamming a foot in his stomach, knocking the air out of him as that once more sent him flying before getting his head caught and slammed into the ground. With this, Nine was just wide-eyed as he moved his gaze towards the one who held his head to find a pissed-off blond holding him while two fox tails were seen swishing behind him.
"Damn brat." At that point, he let go and stood up. This choice allowed Nine to regain his composure as he too did the same, standing up to find the man cracking his knuckles.
"YOU—" Nine was already moving but just as he brought back his left arm he was abruptly silenced, unlike anyone before he moved too fast nor allowed him to finish speaking due to a backhand fist slamming into his face, shooting out an already loose tooth from his mouth yet it didn't stop the villain who crouched as he fired five beams from his left-hand fingertips due to the right has had its wrist crushed. Yet the blond moved too fast, dodging all of the beams with only his jacket being singed before launching himself towards the man but his fist met a barrier. This moment had Nine already prepare his next attack until he felt something and looks down to see one of the tails wrapping around his leg before abruptly he was pulled and thrown around like a rag-doll into the earth.
"HOW?!" He thought after the seventh time he was thrown into the ground which sent debris flying and Naruto just staring down at him. At this point, Rumi was watching next to the shocked Izuku and Katsuki who were watching this scene.
"Wait, I don't think he was told about what type of Quirks he was using?!" Izuku muttered, his eyes widening in the realization of the level of skill this man held while Katsuki kept his arms crossed, watching closely as the villain unleashed two large blue dragon-shaped monster tendrils towards the man who tore through them, spinning while his hands seemed to give off an aura that was sent out to slash the tendrils before he lands on his feet, charging again.
"SHIT!" Nine quickly made a larger barrier with his one hand but became in disbelief upon Naruto suddenly shifting his center of gravity, behind human capability as he suddenly turned right than around the barrier mid-dash yet even so Nine was already turning with his arm extended as he fired the beams right for the man who sidesteps at the moment right before impact, causing Nine to not understand if it hit or not as he watches Naruto closing in on him.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" As he shouted that, his one arm created an even larger barrier in front of Naruto who was heading right for it but this time he draws back his right arm and with it, a third tail emerges as he threw a punch that shatters the barrier much to the shock of Nine who was nailed once more in the face and sent flying back, rolling as he comes done till he stops. It was at this point, all the students had arrived to witness the beat down, gathering where Rumi was with the others, the kids having been handed over to Phoenix and Nyan who make their way back towards the cage where Koji was and in turn gaining the notice from Nine who was staring at the sky to see it.
"No..." As he spoke, Naruto was walking towards him with an angered expression. "I can't lose..." As he muttered that, it was then that Naruto saw the sky, a Cumulonimbus cloud forming above his head much to his surprise.
"I CAN'T STOP NOW!" As Nine spoke, the Cumulonimbus cloud grew massively even more. "I won't let it end like this, I will have my new society! NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!" And with that, Nine's body unleashed even more power much to the annoyance of Naruto who looked back to feel the power increase. The villain had clear energy pouring out of his back while displaying purple glowing lines that he noticed.
"Hmmm, is he at his limit?" Thought the man before his gaze focused on the empty tubes on his back which caused his eyes to narrow before the villain spun fast, forming a vortex of wind that was followed by two others before combining into one massive energy twister that took him by surprise as he grits his teeth.
"This isn't good." His gaze turns to the lighting crashing down around the island, more so causing few explosions upon striking the cage, much to his worry.
"Shit—" He stops when it converged on him, having sped straight for him which he charged and slammed his right fist but it was useless as he was drawn into it, much to the shock and worry of the students. They watched the man being tossed in the air with shots of lighting hitting him until he saw something which he was blasted out of it and into the ground.
"Damn..." Muttered the man who had very noticeable wounds healing already while Nine lands in front of him. Nine was glaring down upon the man who was glaring up at him, watching as he acted high and mighty.
"It's no use, you simply don't have enough strength to defeat me." He begins approaching the blond who got in a fighting stance. "You would not survive the new world I will—" Nine stops when he heard a snort than met a smile.
"O-oh god, y-you believe—" He was cut off by a beam striking his body and blowing a hole in it.
"Silence you insignificant worm. The strong will lord over the weak in my Utopia." Immediately a massive tendril of the blue dragon flew out from the villain and struck Naruto who was trapped in its mouth as he flew through the air before crashing behind Nine with a large expositor of debris flying everywhere.
"Labels like Hero and Villain won't be needed. Power will be the only factor that matters. That's how a true superhuman society should be structured." At this point, Izuku was gritting his from where he stood next to Katsuki who was also standing back reluctantly while Mahoro and Katsuma could only watch as the man they've known since they were kids was being beaten yet the only one who watched without showing fear was Rumi and she wasn't smiling.
"Asshole!" The shout caused Nine to stop and towards the dust cloud, seeing the blond was stuck between the creation's teeth and stare at him from where he lay. "You must be a complete dumbass if you think that's even remotely possible in your standing!" At that point, he saw something and looks at the sky to see massive amounts of lightning focusing on one point, much to his shock.
"If you attempt to get in my way," He raises both hands as the lighting increases from above. "THAN DIE!" With those words, a single beam like lightning was unleashed right down towards Naruto who stared at it wide-eyed as it came down but as it did so his gaze moves in the span between it coming down and striking to look at Rumi. What he saw was his wife, not even showing fear nor happiness, the look in her eyes told all, and that was complete faith.
"Heh." Despite the situation, that was the only laugh that escaped his lips as the attack hits him and with it, a massive explosion was followed by a shockwave.
"MR. UZUMAKI!" The students screamed in horror while Izuku and Katsuki were just shocked as the two were about to head out the moment the attack finished, only for a pair of hands to grab their shoulders and gain their attention towards the wife who watched.
"WHY ARE YOU STOPPING US?!"
"ARE YOU BLIND?!"
Their shouts did nothing but made them realize something, Rumi wasn't smiling but stared calmly at the massive dust cloud before closing her eyes.
"Long ago, I accepted you Naruto..." As she muttered those words, the students were confused before she opens them again. "Don't change who you are because of me, just protect this island and our family." As she spoke those words, Izuku and Katsuki felt it, all the students felt it.
"W-Wha—" Izuku was now shaking, standing in front of the rest who all but collapsed to their knees as they bore witness to that of a Calamity. Katsuki fell to one knee as he too felt it, true, unadulterated, malice that of which Izuku fell to his knees as he wasn't prepared for such a feeling. Rumi was the only one who stood, despite her knees also buckling from the intense aura before looking back at the terrified students.
"This is what it means to be in the presence of a Calamity who no longer playing around." As she muttered that, she watched her husband for the first time having entered that form before her presence. Nine just stood there, feet glued to the earth as he couldn't comprehend the feeling behind him but the simple fact the words he spouted out now felt pointless.
"What..." Nine could only turn around slowly with completely wide eyes filled with fear for what he saw was the image of a massive Nine-Tailed Fox. At this point, something was shot up high into the air, drawing his and everyone's attention who caught the glimpse of a white orb of light that was sent towards the sky before being blinded by a single detonation of such magnitude it caused a shockwave all over the island with the students bending down on high-alert. All were given witness to a massive orb-like explosion that blew all the clouds away, revealing a sunny day.
"W-Wh-Wha—" He was silenced by the sound of clear heavy footsteps from the large smoke cloud before him still steaming, each step echoed as it got closer and closer, each step resulted in Nine's fear increasing, each step gave way to something that can only be labeled as a Calamity upon the figure walking out of the smoke, his appearance for all to see and it was with this he came to realize his mistake.
"Dear god...it...no wait...there can only be one explanation..." Was all Nine could mutter in terror for what lay before him was a transformed Naruto, finally realizing he was in the presence of one of the monsters that matched Nations military might in the War a hundred years ago. The man had truly taken on a different form, his hair had grown to the point the back of his hair at reaches his waste, the markings on his face had become thicker to resemble the trigram, his pupil to his already red eyes now as another slit in the center, horizontal to it and forming a +. His canines had grown to show four gangs protruding from his mouth.
"Been a while since I took this form." Several cracks were heard as he stretches, the clothing he bore was changed as with his destroyed doctor coat now taking a different form as it was replaced by a dark red, nearly black layer of aura in the shape of a full-length haori that had the sleeves stop at his elbow, red-veins running across his arms as his fingernails turned to claws. The most notable detail wasn't the fact he now had six tails but on his back was the skeleton of a six-tailed fox, the head laying on his right shoulder while the body on his back and the tails upon each of his tails. With this form, the grass grew and any plant life grew as well near him. Despite his maliciousness, it was, it brought nature energy.
In a single movement, he was already in front of Nine who couldn't even see him move, appearing as if he were a red flash.
"What you've done calls for punishment and you do realize what that means."
"W-WAI—" He was silenced, not by a punch, kick, or slash but a single, brutal swing of a tail that blew off his head, splattering blood everywhere with his grey matter, bone, and the piece of an eye, this scene gained shock from the students who watched him end that man in just a tail swing. All Naruto did was look down in disappointment as the corpse fell in its increasing puddle of blood.
"Tch." Was the only sound he made while his body gave off steam, returning to normal with the tails receding before he looks back at his wife and students, showing a thumbs up at the group.
"(Sigh) Well that was something..." Muttered the man who finally sat his ass down on a couple of boulders, watching as the helicopters came with Pro's, helping the injured Hero's and looking over the damage which Naruto had front-row seats too, watching as military personnel was helping the injured students to the hospital's thanks to the help of doctors and surgeons that were brought along. Naruto's gaze moves down to the Pro-Hero Hawks who was staring up at him, the two locking gazes before the Pro broke it and moves onto the students.
"Hmmm—" It was then he froze as he smelled something and his ears twitched, due to the fact he just entered his stronger form his senses were still very fresh and with it he could smell someone after hearing a particular sound, coming from the field of flowers on the main island.
"Male...he smells like Nana yet—" His eyes widened all the way, abruptly standing up and about to activate his tails till he flinched, having the side effects kick in from going 3 to 6 tails immediately rather than one by one but it didn't matter in the end as that smell had disappeared after he heard that sound again which he could only presume was teleportation.
"Nana..." As he muttered that, his left hand turned into a fist.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Sir!" Tenya shouted, giving a bow to the man in charge who stood next to his wife and the four kids, his and the ones saved by Izuku and Katsuki. "We appreciate everything you did for us during our stay in your care!" Naruto merely smiles as he looks over the students of Class 1-A, despite everything the students still appeared uncomfortable in his presence which he took note of and frowns.
"I have something to say before you depart." He turns to look at Rumi and gave her a look which she understood and lead the children away as they gave their goodbyes, leaving him with the students.
"You all know who I am and my story." He looks back at them to see their faces. "Back then, it was a time of ruin, despair, death. There was no room for Hero's but only soldiers. We had to make the choices no one else could. Me and a few others in my Unit, found a choice lying before us, and to take that choice, we turned against our own for what we believed in. You could also say we blinded ourselves, focusing on the fastest way to end the war rather than what could truly work." Naruto stared at each of the students, one by one.
"Among everything I told you, remember what I say next and take it to heart from someone who's walked that path of death. And that is, 'Be better than me, be a Hero and not a Soldier." With that said, he shows a smile to help them relax.
"After all, each one of you can be a great Hero's." With those parting words, he watched as each student, one-by-one walked up the ramp of the ship till Katsuki was left to meet his gaze.
"You lost."
"Shut it!"
At this point, Katsuki was looking embarrassed with his eyes meeting his feet.
"In order for me to help train you, I'll swing by your house this week to talk to your mother to convince her to train you." Immediately his eyes widen and lookup. "You can come to my island during the weekends for training sessions. But for you to learn your legacy at a much faster rate, you wouldn't be able to attend your classes anymore in person." This caused his eyes to widen in shock.
"I..." Katsuki stops and thinks with a frown which Naruto smiles before looking back to see his family waiting and signals them to come back over, with the two other kids as well.
"Just think about it, you can still train with your mother and do classes but if you want to reach a far greater level in a shorter amount of time then my offer is the best." After saying that, he watches Katsuki walking up the steps where the others were standing and the distance they were the students couldn't hear what was said.
"Oh yes, Ochako!" Naruto suddenly called, causing Katsuki's eyes to bulge as he recalls the bet and turns fast towards the man. "You trained under Gunhead, right?" This caused her eyes to widen in surprise.
"How do you know about that?"
"I read your file, he's a martial artist so that got me thinking! If you want to get stronger in hand-to-hand, I can set up a training schedule for you to come to this island during weekends to learn under me." As he said that, Katsuki was shocked before looking at Ochako who was unsure.
"You won't be the only one." A devilish grin takes form. "Katsuki is already going to be training with me every weekend starting now so having you two also train against each other would work out as well." As he finished speaking, Ochako puts on a thoughtful expression while Katsuki turns to Naruto in anger with a blush yet the man who was smiling at him devilishly. The students didn't understand what exactly was going on by much but a few did, one being Mina who was the first to realize what was happening but didn't bother to say anything at all.
"I'll think about it...is there a way to contact you?"
"I don't like giving out my private phone number so just use Katsuki's phone to call me." With that said, she looks at Katsuki who was avoiding her gaze at being dragged into such a situation by the man. In the end, the ship began to depart with the family standing as they watched the ship leaving while the two kids that were saved by the Hero's in training were running along the dock to say their goodbyes.
Rumi couldn't help but look at Naruto, who watched as they left but instead of a smile, it was replaced with a deep frown.
(Nana...there might have been a high chance she was pregnant with our child.)
Rumi could only stare at her husband, knowing he's chosen that whether or not if it's true. Tho, as of now he'll have to research Nana to know if she had a child and what happened after.
At this point, he felt something and turns to see Rumi leaning into him which surprised him before he smiles before holding her close yet even so he still thought.
"If he's a danger to my family, regardless if he's my son or grandson... I'll kill him myself.)
