AN: Hey guys I have returned with another chapter. After Monday these updates will be a bit more spread out. Just know that if there is ever a week or more difference between two episodes, something either bad happened, or school decided to kick my ass again. Anyways, I will like to clarify a few things,
This Naruto is not one who crossed dimensions, he was born and raised in the MHA universe
I had no intention of writing a harem, I don't have enough experience yet to write an organic one, this could change if enough people want it, and I feel confident enough about my writing. The harem would only be limited to three girls if there was one.
I will have a poll of the three girls who I wanted to pair with Naruto, I will close it by the end of this week.
I would also like to thank those who took the time to review and leave constructive criticism, it means more than you know and I'm glad you are all enjoying it. Anyways let's get on with the chapter.
Izuku stood on the roof All Might took him to, looking utterly defeated. He had just been saved by some weird slime monster by his favorite hero and wanted to learn how he could be a hero. He thought that All Might would encourage him, not just say that he had no chance without a quirk. He looked as All Might in his true form as he left the roof. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "I'M GOING TO PROVE YOU WRONG ALL MIGHT, I CAN BE A HERO, WITH OR WITHOUT A QUIRK"
Izuku would have broken down and cried right there, but Naruto has taught him that only he can control his fate. So what if he didn't have a quirk, so what if people told him he couldn't do it, he will prove them all wrong, with his brother with him every step of the way.
He took a few minutes to collect himself, he had to process everything that has happened. He was attacked by a weird slime monster, He was saved by his favorite hero in the world, he saw said hero's true form because of how injured he was from his most famous fight, then his hero told him he should stop trying to become hero since he's quirkless, and then he yelled at his hero.
Izuku's eyes widened, "HOLY CRAP, I yelled at my favorite hero." He couldn't believe that he did that. He never would have dreamed of doing that in a million years, he had to relax a bit.
Once he was calmed down he started to go home. He contemplated whether or not he should call his brother and tell him about what just happened, but decided against it, he shouldn't ruin his brother's image of their favorite hero. Yes, All Might is still his favorite hero, he can not forget all that he has done for this country, and he is still his inspiration to become the best hero. Now, it is to prove him wrong.
While he was walking he saw that a crowd has appeared by a fire. He joined the crowd to see what all the commotion was, and was shocked by what he saw. Bakugo was captured by the same slime monster he was, and his explosions were causing the huge fire multiple heroes were trying to help contain. Izuku couldn't move, All Might had that monster apprehended, but he guessed that he dropped it when he decided to hold onto him. He couldn't believe that this massive destruction was partly his fault.
He didn't realize it until he was halfway to Bakugo, but he was running towards the destruction. He faintly heard the heroes telling him to leave but he didn't listen. He looked around and remembered what Naruto told him when they were training.
'Remember Izuku, you have to find your enemies weakness, look at your surroundings, and execute the best plan of action.'
Izuku looked at the monster and noticed that the only vulnerable spot was his eyes. He threw his bag at the monster and grinned when it staggered, he wanted to capitalize and looked around. He saw a metal pole on the ground and picked it up. He ignored the searing pain from how much the metal has heated up due to the fire and continued his charge. The monster's eyes widened when he saw Izuku thrusting the pole at his eye.
Izuku stabbed with all his might and knew he hit his mark when the monster screamed in agony. He saw Bakugo and grabbed a hold of him then proceeded to pull with all his might.
Bakugo was shocked that Izuku was attempting to save him. What does a quirkless loser like him think he can do. "What *cough* are you *cough* doing loser," Bakugo said, poorly.
Izuku was grunting and said, "I don't know, my body just moved on my own."
The slime monster finally recovered and was cursing, "That's it brat. Imma end what I should have finished, and no one here can save you," he prepared a strike that Izuku braced for. He waited and waited before he realized that the strike never came. He looked up and his eyes widened, All Might was there, having taken the blow for Izuku.
"You know kid, that was really dumb of you," he said, pulling back his arm, "but I did tell you \what it takes to be a hero, and now I have to practice what I preach."
The monster got prepared to unleash another strike on All Might, "So do not worry, I am here," he started to unleash his punch, "DETROIT SMASH."
The punch made winds so fierce that people had to hold onto lampposts and anything secured to the ground so that they weren't blown away, Mt. Lady even covered a majority of the crowd. A giant tornado rose so high you could see it for miles. Once the wind was gone the monster was only bits and pieces scattered around the area. All Might was breathing heavily, he really overexerted himself today.
As the media went over to All Might to try and get an interview multiple heroes went to Izuku to reprimand him for what he did.
"That was pretty dangerous kid, you can't just go running into a scene like that."
"Yeah, you shouldn't be putting yourself in harm's way, however, you did manage to handle the situation surprisingly well even though you don't have a quirk.
Izuku smiled a little at this, but it was immediately gone when the same hero spoke again.
"But don't let that get to your head, you got lucky this time, let the pros handle it next time."
Izuku just nodded his head and started to leave. As he was going he heard the heroes were congratulating Bakugo on his bravery and his spectacular quirk. He gritted his teeth when heard the praise that Bakugo was getting, what did he do, get captured and cause mass destruction. At least he hurt the villain, he didn't cause a huge fire that caused more damage than what was already happening.
He just wanted to go home and possibly train more with his brother. Thoughts of his brother caused a smile to grow on his face, no matter how much the world seems against him, Naruto will be by his side.
As he walking he heard screaming and turned to see a fuming Bakugo, "Why can't you two just leave me alone. You are both losers who are beneath me, I didn't ask for your help, and I don't have to be grateful for anything," He turned around, slouched, and walked away.
Izuku gritted his teeth and continued walking, he was tired of Bakugo's superiority complex. He was going to yell at him but decided against it, he just wanted to go home. When he continued his walk he was surprised by a hulking figure.
Izuku's eyes widened, "All Might!" he practically screamed, he didn't expect to see him again, "I thought you were still dealing with the media."
All Might smiled and said, "I stand for justice, not sound clips," he stood there looking heroic. Until he started to puke blood. He transformed back into his true, skeleton-like form, and continued speaking, "You did well back there kid, you helped save that other kid."
Izuku smiled a little and said, "Yeah well you know, my body just moved by itself, I didn't intend to go fight that monster."
This caused Toshinori (All Might's real name if you didn't know) to smile, "That's the mark of a true hero kid, heck you even inspired me to go help. So don't sell yourself short." Toshinori then stood up taller, "That's why I want you, Izuku Midoriya, to inherit my power."
Izuku's mind froze, inherit his power, you can't transfer quirks like that, can you. He started to mutter to himself what this could possibly mean if All Might could actually transfer his power onto him.
Toshinori looked concerned for the kid and decided to explain a bit more, "Well you see kid, you know how my quirk is often debated about a lot, and how I always dodge the question on interviews by making jokes about it. Well that's because I need to look like a champion for the people"
Izuku nodded, kind of understanding what All Might was saying, "You see my quirk is actually called One for All, it passes down from generation to generation, becoming stronger as the chain continues. I wish to extend that chain by passing it onto you Izuku, you have the heart of a true hero."
Izuku was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe what he was hearing. He could feel the tears falling from his eyes, he was told that he would never become a hero, but now his role model, the one he always strived to be, changed his mind and was telling him that he has the heart of a hero. This was the best moment of his life. Well, that and getting Naruto as a brother.
That stopped his train of thought immediately, Naruto. He has been training with him for years so that they could rise together, they developed a connection due to how everyone viewed them as useless and week. Naruto always told him that they don't need a quirk to become heroes, but here he was getting the offer of a lifetime. Normally he would jump at this immediately, but now, he wasn't so sure.
Toshinori saw Izuku's conflicted gaze and said, "I know it's a lot to take in right now, I will give you time to contemplate this, meet me at the beach tomorrow at 5 in the morning for your answer. If you say yes we begin your training immediately if you refuse I will understand and find someone else for the job." Once he said this, he turned and left, leaving Izuku alone.
Izuku just stood there for what seemed like hours, he didn't know what to do, he had to discuss this with his brother. He tells him everything and they help each other with every difficult choice. However, Izuku knew this was a different case. He couldn't tell anybody about this, as much as it pains him to, he would have to keep this secret from his brother. Izuku continued his walk home, thinking about what he was going to do the whole time walking.
As he was walking he felt something grab onto his shoulders, he turned to see his brother, smiling as bright as ever. "You Izuku, did you see that giant tornado, it even rained like out of nowhere. I went to go see what went down and there was like destruction EVERYWHERE," he said, making wild arm gestures to emphasize his points. "I saw on TV that All Might was there and punched some monster to smithereens, did you see it."
Izuku smiled nervously and said, "Yeah, I was in the crowd. It was on the way home." He left out the part where he ran up to the monster and tried to fight it. If Naruto was anything, overprotective was one of them, and he didn't want him to worry.
Naruto eyes widened and said, "Did you see Bakugo, he apparently got captured by that thing."
At the mention of Bakugo, Izuku took the time to notice Naruto's state of dress, He had a black eye, a busted lip, a few burns, and some tears on his shirt that were mostly hidden due to his jacket. "Speaking of Bakugo how did your fight go," Izuku said, thankful to change the subject.
Naruto sneered a little and said, "I got blown up a few times, but Bakugo wasn't entirely unscathed either, I would call it a tie."
Izuku smiled a little and said, "Really, because I didn't see any black eyes on Bakugo, just saying." Izuku loved it when he got the chance to poke fun at his brother a little.
Naruto frowned and said, "Hey, at least I wasn't captured by some weird hentai monster thing."
Izuku laughed and they continued walking. As they were walking Naruto noticed the weird look on his brother's face.
"What are you thinking about bro," Naruto said, looking quizzical.
Flustered Izuku said, "N-nothing, just stuff you know."
Naruto leaned a bit closer and squinted, "Don't lie Izuku, I know you too well for you to slip one pass me."
Izuku sighed and said, "I just have to make a difficult choice and I don't know what to do."
Naruto smiled and said, "Well I can help you with that, what's the problem."
Izuku was panicking, he had to think of a lie and quick, "W-well you see, I was offered these special pair of weights to use for training right, and they only had one pair so I wouldn't be able to get you one as well," Izuku said, trying to seem as believable as possible.
Naruto seemed confused and said, "Couldn't we just take turns using the weights."
Izuku thought quickly and said, "Well you see the guy said that only I would be allowed to use them, and if he saw that I allowed someone else to use them, he would take them away," Izuku hoped Naruto bought it.
Naruto seemed to and said, "So you don't know if you should take the weights because it would give you an unfair advantage against me."
Izuku smiled and nodded, he hoped Naruto could give him insight on what to do.
Naruto smiled and looked at Izuku, "Bro, don't let me hamper your progress, I can find ways to get strong, I don't want to be the reason your ability to become a hero is hampered."
Izuku smiled a little then frowned, "But wouldn't you be mad that I'm getting an improvement and you aren't."
Naruto shook his head and smiled, "I could never be mad at you, I just want what's best for you, I love you bro, and nothing will ever change that."
Izuku smiled and let the tears flow from his eyes. "Thank you brother, I love you too."
Naruto smiled and rubbed the back of his head, "He don't go crying on me now, they're just weights ya know."
Izuku laughed and hugged his brother with all his might. Naruto hugged him back, confused why he was showing so much emotion.
When they continued their walk Izuku had a big smile on his face, he knew what he was going to do now. No matter what happens his brother will always be on his side, supporting whatever he does.
When they returned home their mom fussed over Naruto's injuries. He lied about how he just fell down the stairs at school, and how the burns are because a kid got reckless with his fire quirk. Inko was happy with how hurt Naruto got but saw that he was okay and calmed down.
After they ate dinner the boys went to their room to exchange notes. They've been doing this for 4 years and always had fun seeing what the other had written down.
"So Izuku, when will you be getting those new weights," Naruto asked, curious to know when those fancy new weights will get here.
Izuku seemed to panic and said, "Oh bad news, I texted the guy and he said that he already gave the weights away, sucks for me I supposed. HAHAHA."
Naruto narrowed his eyes a bit, his brother was hiding something from him. He decided to not bring it up for now. "Oh sorry about that bro, I'm sure you can get strong without them." The brief look of confliction didn't go unnoticed by Naruto, but he decided to ignore it. If it was important Izuku would tell him.
"Yeah, I'm sure I will," Izuku said, "Anyways, can we train a bit later tomorrow, I have to do this thing in the morning."
Naruto looked confused, "Oh, can I come," Izuku and he usually did everything together, so it was strange he was just now being told about this.
"No, sorry, it's um something to help me against you in our spars. Yeah" Izuku said, feeling very nervous.
Naruto's confusion turned into a grin, "Oh why didn't you just say that at the beginning, of course. But let me tell you, no amount of special training will help you beat the champ," Naruto flexed animatedly to drive home his point.
Izuku laughed and said, "We'll see I guess."
The two brothers spent the rest of the night goofing off in their rooms and getting mentally prepared for the entrance exams. They had a couple of months to train and they were going to kick it into overdrive.
When it was time to go to bed Izuku found it hard to sleep. He knew his brother wouldn't hate him for accepting the quirk. He just felt guilty for not being able to tell him. All Might said he had the heart of a hero, but Naruto was always the braver of the two of them. If anyone had the heart of a hero it was him. Maybe his brother should get it, he saved him and other people from bullies, no matter how weak people thought he was. He was the real hero, more of a hero than him at least.
He looked at his brother and remembered what he told him. That he would get strong enough to protect him as well. This was his chance, he can get the power to be able to fend for himself, and help his brother as he did for him. He clenched his fist and made up his mind. He will accept One for All and become the hero that he always strived to be, the hero his brother said he could be. He went to sleep with a smile on his, he knew what he was going to do, he felt like this was only a first step towards something even bigger than he could ever imagine.
Tomorrow would mark his journey to becoming a hero.
AN: Well there we go, another chapter for the masses to enjoy. It seems as though Naruto won't be the only one hiding something from his brother for long. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and I feel like I am improving bit by bit as a writer. Like the story, if you did, follow it if you wish to see where the story leads, and leave a review of what you thought. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated and even leave a flame because who am I to stop you. Anyways with that, we are done, goodbye and I will see you all again next time.
