AN: Hey guys, here with another chapter of Maelstrom at UA. I'm glad you guys are enjoying the story this story so far (I hope). The poll is still up until February 24th. Momo is in the lead by a LARGE margin, but we'll see how it turns out. I have been thinking and this story will NOT be a harem. I just can't make a good one, no matter how I think I can incorporate one. So I'm sorry to those who want one, but I just can't without ruining the story. Anyways, this chapter will not have the entrance exams yet, that will most likely be the next one, so no worries, it's coming. So enough with my ramblings and let's get to what you came for, the story, not me *Totally manly(read wimpy) tear.
Izuku woke up at 5:30 AM and left to go meet All Might. He, of course, left a note telling his mother where he was going. He looked at his brother sleeping, his mom told him to lay off the training a little bit, due to his injuries. Naruto did not agree to those terms immediately, but once their mom was about to cry he conceded. He couldn't bear to see his mom cry so he agreed to lay off the training, for a week.
Izuku smiled as he remembered that interaction, Naruto always had a soft spot for family. Once he arrived at the beach, he saw All Might in his true form. Toshinori saw Izuku and smiled.
"So, have you decided," Toshinori said.
Izuku looked at his hero, and said with determination in his eyes, "Yes, I will accept your power All Might, I will become the hero you know I can be."
Toshinori smiled at the boy and said, "Well then young Midoriya, we have ten months till the exams. That means 10 months for you to master One for All. To see if you are ready, clean up this whole beach."
Izuku looked at the beach and smirked, it was cluttered with tons of litter, but nothing he couldn't handle. If Naruto has taught him anything, it was to endure one hell of a workout.
Toshinori was confused at Izuku's smirk, he did see the mountain of trash right.
"Okay All Might, I'll get this done in a month, you'll see dattebayo," Izuku blushed at the tick, his brother rubbed off on him in more ways than one. He shook his head and ran to the beach to clean it up. Toshinori watched in shock as Izuku was cleaning the beach with surprising efficiency. He might be more prepared than he originally thought.
-Back at the Midoriya household-
Naruto was eating breakfast with his mom, though the mood was not so cheery. There was an uncomfortable silence in the air.
"Mom, I know what you are going to say, and no," Naruto said, hoping to stop the conversation before it started.
"But honey, he deserves to know, you guys share everything with each other. He has the right to the truth. He needs to know about your quirk." Inko said, sadness in her eyes.
Naruto sighed, "Mom, I can't control it, I can change my eyes to red, and heal a little bruise, but that's about it. I don't like using it mom, I want to forget about him." Naruto said, venom in his voice when he said 'him'.
Inko grabbed her son's hand, "I know it's hard for you to relive that, but you are so strong Naruto. The past is in the past, you have us now your family. You can trust us to be there for you. We love you, no matter what." Inko gave him a warm, motherly smile.
Naruto had tears in his eyes, but refused to shed them, "Mom I can't use it, I don't want to hurt you guys, if I found out you guys got injured or possibly worse, I don't know what I would do." Naruto stopped trying to resist the tears and broke down crying.
It pained Inko to see her son like this and went over to hug him, "You can never hurt us Naruto, no matter what you do we will always love you. You should know that we'll always be there for you."
Naruto hugged her back and continued to cry for another 5 minutes. Once he was finally done, he pulled back from the hug and rubbed his eyes, "Okay mom, I'll tell him. Just, let me master it first, if not then I need a bit more control. I promise I'll tell him before we try out."
Inko smiled and said, "You'll control it in no time son, you're strong enough to beat it. Now come on, er have to finish breakfast."
They resumed eating, falling into a comfortable silence. Once they were done Naruto left the house. He knew there was only one place he could train.
-Unknown Location-
Naruto arrived at an empty field, he looked around and saw that no one was around for a long way. It took him 2 hours to get here, hard to find a secluded field in the city. This place was supposed to be a farm or something, but it was never used.
Naruto went to the middle of the field and sat down. He looked around once more and closed his eyes. When he opened them again they were red.
"Okay still got that down no problem, now onto the tricky step," Naruto said to himself.
He concentrated a bit more and the atmosphere around him became a lot heavier. There was a very faint red aura around him. He looked around and picked up a rock, he grimaced at what he was about to do, and slammed it with all his force on his leg. He managed to withhold screaming out of pain, due to the pain tolerance training he put Izuku and him through.
He focused on the deep bruise that has formed and sent the energy he felt towards the injury. He watched as the bruise quickly faded away. He smiled at that, he has spent months trying to heal small injuries like that quickly.
He stopped his smile when he attempted the next part, he closes his eyes and concentrated. A bead of sweat formed on his brow, he looked as if he was holding off something massive. Slowly Naruto began to change, his whiskers thickened to look more animalistic, his teeth became sharper, and his eyes became more fox-like. He stopped and looked down, his hands had little claws on them now, they looked like they could do some serious damage. He breathed and stood up, he took a few steps before going into a full-blown run. To an outsider, it looked like a blur of blond and orange as the young boy tried to test his new strength.
Naruto felt powerful, he has tried to achieve this state of his quirk, he felt like he fi-
His train of thought stopped when he lost his balance and tripped over his own foot, causing him to fall down and skid for quite a long time. Naruto slowly got up and dusted himself off. Okay, so he has not fully mastered the most basic form of his quirk. He has tried to, but whenever he tries to access it, he feels this overwhelming amount of anger and hatred, it most of his energy to keep that at bay.
He looked up to the sky and glared, this was his fault. He wanted to make the ultimate weapon and decided to use him as the catalyst. It was his idea to give him this awful power so that he could hurt others. It was his fault Naruto only felt anger and hate when he tried to access that power. Naruto looked down at his hands once again, the claws were now gone and they looked normal again.
He sighed and decided to work on another quirk. That's right, that bastard thought that his 'ultimate weapon' needed more that one quirk, Naruto remembered the pain he felt when he was tested on by that monster. He passed out for weeks after those experiments. He was deemed too weak after he passed out for a month after a particularly painful experiment. It was the reason he got into the orphanage, they found him on the streets a week after he was abandoned. He had no control of his quirks at all and injured many people.
If that sick fuck wanted to make him a weapon, a weapon that sole purpose is to destroy. Then fine, he'll be a weapon. He'll be the weapon that ends that monster once and for all.
"I swear that I will kill you and make you feel all the pain you inflicted onto me," Naruto looked in the sky, "All for One."
Naruto shook his head, he shouldn't be focused on him for now, he should go back to training. He went back to the middle of the field and sat, this was going to be a long and grueling 10 months.
-1 month later-
"Holy mega SUPER CRAP."
Toshinori looked in awe at the now clean beach, Izuku stood on top of the pile of litter he cleaned. He was smiling and had both his hands behind his head. When he said he'll get this done in a month, he meant it.
Izuku turned and saw Toshinori there in his muscle form. Izuku waved and proceeded to climb down to talk to him.
"So what do you think All Might, did I do good," Izuku said, hoping his idol liked what he did.
"Good, you did fantastic young Midoriya, I thought that I would have to give you this later, but it seems like you are ready now."
Izuku's smile widened, he couldn't wait to see what
All Might had for him.
"EAT THIS." All Might said, holding out a piece of his hair for Izuku to take.
Izuku looked at him for a moment, then very loudly said, "WHAT, you want me to eat your hair."
All Might laughed at Izuku's confused expression, "When you eat this you will inherit the power of One for All, it is how the quirk has been passed down for generations. Now eat it."
Izuku hesitantly took the hair and ate it. He was a little grossed out at first but managed to stomach it. He waited for the overwhelming surge of power, but he felt nothing.
"Uhhh, All Might, are you sure you did this right. Because I feel nothing." Izuku said, confused as to why he felt no different.
"Well young Midoriya, you have to feel the power of One for All within you, then you can let it out." All Might said, explaining the quirk in the quickest way possible.
Izuku nodded at that and concentrated, he looked deep inside himself before he felt an amazing power. He felt the strength the power had and was worried he wouldn't be able to handle it. He shook that worry from his head and put the power into his arm, he looked down at his arm and saw red lines going across it like veins. He cocked his arm back prepared to punch before he stopped himself.
He was about to put all his power into one punch, he learned the hard way not to do that.
-Flashback-
A ten-year-old Naruto and Izuku were training, Izuku was currently learning the proper forms to do the basic stuff like punch and kick.
"Okay now I want you to punch me," Naruto said, positioning himself in front of Izuku.
Izuku looked worried, "But, wouldn't you get hurt, I don't want to hurt you."
Naruto smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, just throw a punch."
Izuku conceded and threw a punch with all his might towards Naruto. He didn't expect however for Naruto to grab his hand and pull him towards himself. He especially wasn't ready for the knee to the gut that soon followed.
"That form is all wrong bro, you only used your arm to punch me. You won't get any power if you do that. A proper punch uses the whole body, your feet need to be planted and you get the power from your back foot, then you lean in and then extend your arm. Make sure you follow through with the full motion of the punch, or else it will be weak. Just make sure you don't use too much power or you will overextend yourself, leaving you open to being intercepted. Understood." Naruto said, explaining the basics of a punch as well as he could.
Izuku nodded and tried it out, it did feel more natural.
-Flashback End-
Izuku stopped channeling the power into his arm and concentrated again.
Toshinori watched with amusement as Izuku was trying to figure out how to use his quirk. His eyes widened when he saw the boy's whole body glow, he figured something out if such a drastic change happened. However, the glow left as quickly as it came and Izuku was panting.
"What is the matter," Toshinori asked, concerned for the wellbeing of his protege.
"I just felt like I was going to burst using all the power, I couldn't take the strain," Izuku said, looking upset he couldn't handle the task asked of him.
"That is okay young Midoriya, I did not expect you to be able to use 100 percent of One for All immediately. Why don't you try using let's say, 8 percent." Toshinori said, reassuring the boy
Izuku nodded and concentrated once again, he felt the power once more, but only took a little piece of it. He spread the power throughout his body and waited. After a couple of minutes, Izuku determined he felt fine. In fact, he felt stronger than ever before.
He looked at the beach and cocked back his fist. He let out a punch that made the sand beneath him scatter all around. He looked and his hand and clenched it into a fist, with this new power, he will be able to become a true hero.
Toshinori smiled at Izuku's accomplishment and went into his muscle form once more. "Well young Midoriya, this is only the beginning, from here on out, your training will be harder than anything you could have possibly experienced before. Are you ready."
Izuku smile at this and pumped of his fist, "BRING IT ON!"
And so this was the start of the two brothers journey to mastering their quirks, and becoming truly excellent heroes.
