AN: Hey, sorry no Izuku or Naruto today. I just need to apologize for the long hiatus. Once school ended stuff came up that I would rather not talk about right now. Thanks for all the support that got us to 300 follows, I can't thank you guys enough for that. Chapters will unfortunately be coming out less predictable now, I don't have the luxury of a consistent release schedule. I need to shout out a reader by the name of SlyFox9 who has been a big motivation for me to continue the story. Now, I'm done with the sentimental crap, onto the story.

Nezu was sipping his tea as he sat across a deflated All Might. The principal had a happy-go-lucky mood about him, despite the serious atmosphere in the room.

"We need to talk about Naruto," Toshinori said, getting straight to the point, "more specifically, his connections to All for One."

Nezu sipped his tea, "Yes, that tidbit of information is most concerning. What do you suggest we do with it."

"I don't know, it's clear Naruto isn't a villain."

"Are you sure about that Toshinori."

The symbol of peace glared at the principle. His words surprising, and maddening, him, "Are you suggesting that a young student who has shown a strong drive to be a hero is working with All for One."

Nezu seemed unfazed by the glare, "I am simply not ruling it out as a possibility. There are many unknowns here Toshinori. We thought the only thing we had to worry about Naruto was him occasionally losing control of his quirk, but this is way beyond what we were expecting."

"I refuse to believe that that young man is working with one of the worst villains I've ever faced."

"Let's not forget that a group of villains were somehow privy to confidential information, someone must have leaked it."

All Might stood up quickly, slamming his hands on the table, "Are you seriously suggesting that Naruto is not only a villain but is also a spy. Both of the Midoriyas have shown nothing but the desire to be a hero. How can you disrespect the drive of a passionate young man?!"

Nezu continued to sip his tea, still cool and collected, "I am not saying that Naruto is a villain Toshinori, I am simply saying that it is irrational to rule it out. For all we know he may be a sleeper agent."

"Then we find a way to help him, I'll do whatever it takes to assure you that Naruto is on the right side."

"That's the plan, I want to help the boy as much as you do, but I'm just looking at all the possibilities."

"Well how about instead of assuming that one of our students is a sleeper agent for a highly dangerous villain, you start thinking of ways to help Young Midoriya through this."

"I have already planned to help the boy Toshinori, but we are limited in what we can do given the restrictions. Only four people know of the nature of Naruto's quirk, and we are sworn to secrecy. I'm arranging for a time for when we will be able to properly train Naruto in his powers."

Toshinori seemed to relax a little when he heard this, "That seems like the best course of action."

"It's the only course of action. We have to help him control this power or he could be a threat to others, and that would only support the theory that he has ties with the villains."

"I swear to you that I will make it work, you have my word. I'm not losing anything else to him," Toshinori finished his sentence with a fierce look of determination on his face.

Nezu took one last sip of his tea, "I hope you can live up to that promise. Because if not, I fear there may be no hope for Mr. Uzumaki.

-Villain Hideout-

"What do you mean, wait, Sensei, don't you want the experiment as quickly as possible," a frustrated Tomura said. He was hoping to just be able and plan a capture for the experiment shortly after the failed attack. Now he was being told to wait.

"It means exactly what it means Tomura, we wait longer until we make our move to get back Naruto," All for One said through the monitor. He too has been plagued with thoughts of his believed to be failed experiment. He couldn't wait to get his hands on him, but he had to think carefully about this, "We have only just recently launched an attack on UA. They will no doubt be on high alert, we must plan carefully."

"But he could be a valuable asset Sensei. We thought that it couldn't be done, multiple quirks in one human while they keep cognitive thought, but we have proof that it is possible in our grasp. Why can't we just go capture him. Our limit break is running loose and the enemy has it."

"As I've already said Tomura, we have to play it safe. I am fully aware of the implications the Naruto's existence brings up, but if we are too rash then we'll lose him forever."

"You should listen to him Tomura," Kurogiri said, finally deciding to speak up, "if you truly want to capture him then we need to have a proper plan of attack."

Tomura scratched his neck furiously as he thought, "Fine, but I want him as soon as possible. He's our secret weapon we never knew we had."

"Yes, he may prove to be a highly valuable asset. However, we'll have to find a way around his stubborn want to be a hero first. That sense of righteousness will do no good for our plans to carry out."

"I'm sure we'll find a way Sensei, we have to. He's too important to just let go."

"I am well aware of that fact Tomura, rest assured I have already been formulating a plan to get our unknown miracle back."

Tomura smiled creepily behind the dismembered hand on his face, "Okay Sensei, I can wait. As long as we get back our little pet of mass destruction."

-Midoriya Household-

"Achoo," Naruto rubbed his nose as he was watching TV, "who the hell is talking about me."

"You okay Naruto," Izuku said as he sat next to his brother. He decided to get out of his room and hang out in the living room.

Naruto waved away his concern, "Just sneezing, I guess I'm pretty popular today. Did you want to do something today, we have one more day after this of no school."

"I don't think so, you should be resting right?" Izuku asked.

Naruto rolled his eyes in annoyance, "I'm perfectly fine Izuku, I was cleared and I am in perfect health. If I want to be a hero then I can't let every little injury I get deter me."

"I know, it's just, a lot happened in a short amount of time. Don't you want to just slow down a bit."

Naruto sighed and turned off the TV. He looked at his brother straight in the eyes, "Life is about moving forward Izuku. We'll be able to talk about all what happened later. No use in dwelling on it when there's nothing we can do."

"I guess, I just thought that we'd need time to process, like, everything," Izuku said, rubbing the back of his head, "How can you process everything so easily. I was having trouble comprehending the All Might situation, but now it's just too much for me to grasp."

Naruto just laughed, confusing his brother, "I'm freaking the fuck out too Izuku, but there's no use dwelling on it. What is there to gain from festering on the millions of questions that I have. We were given this time off to relax, not worry about stuff like this."

"I know, but it's okay to be at least a little freaked out. You were a bloody crater on the ground not even a week ago and then you learn about All Might's secret and my secret. Not to mention the secret you've been hiding that must've been eating you up this whole time and the trauma that you've repressed from mom and me. Not to mention-" Naruto put a finger to his brother's mouth before he could continue.

"First off, breath," Izuku took an exaggerated breath then exhaled, "Second off, that is for me to worry about. I know you're worried for me and I appreciate that, but you're making my past a burden for you. Don't worry yourself like this, we can rely on each other now. Let's just take the time we have and relax."

Izuku took a minute to absorb what his brother just said and laid back. He closed his eyes and breathed in. His brother was right, he was being too worried. Naruto was going through the same inner turmoil that he was suffering, but he was handling it noticeably better.

He opened his eyes and said, "Okay, I just don't know how to relax. Do you want to call everyone again."

Naruto gained a smirk, "Nah, I have something even better in mind. Follow me."

Izuku gained a skeptical look, "Where are we going?"

"We'll worry about that later. MOM IZUKU AND I ARE GOING OUT SOMEWHERE!"

"Okay sweetie, text me when you're coming back."

Izuku was still confused but conceded and followed his brother out the door. As they were walking Izuku kept asking his brother where they were going, but only received 'You'll see' or 'Just wait' as answers.

Izuku stopped asking after many failed attempts and continued the trek in silence. Not even 5 minutes later Naruto asked a question out of the blue, "You like Ochaco right?"

Izuku stopped walking and his face erupted to an unnatural hue of red, "W-w-why ask that all of a sudden."

Naruto didn't stop walking and shrugged, "I make fun of you about it, but I don't actually know if you like her or not."

Izuku was still flustered, but he managed to point at his brother once he caught up to Naruto, "I won't say anything until you admit that you like Momo."

Naruto still unfazed just looked at his brother, "Yeah, a little."

If it was possible Izuku was floored even more before he gained a deadpan look, "I don't know why I wasn't expecting a direct answer. Why do you like her."

"Her hair is cool, I like her eyes, she's like super smart, and she's a natural at video games. What's there not to like."

Izuku nodded, "I see."

"Okay, fair is fair. Do you like Ochaco."

Izuku gained a faint blush again and said, "Yeah, I like Ochaco. She's really fun and I like talking to her. I think she's my first real crush."

Naruto smirked a little, "Knew it."

"You said that you didn't know."

"Irrelevant," Naruto suddenly stopped and looked around before nodding, "Okay, we're here."

Izuku looked around to find that his brother and he were in an open field, "Wait, what was that whole questioning about."

"So that you'd stop asking where we were going."

Izuku pouted at that and glared at his brother as he mumbled under his breath, "All that embarrassment for nothing."

Naruto went to the middle of the field and turned to his brother, "Okay Izuku, I brought you here for one thing only. I think it's time I show my quirks."

Izuku's mood took a complete 180 and there seemed to be sparkles in his eyes, "Really. I can't wait, they sound so cool."

Naruto puffed out his chest with pride, "I know, I'm awesome. I'll show the first one, Clone."

Naruto closed his eyes and focused, he crossed his fingers perpendicularly. Izuku noticed the pose and giggled a little, that was the pose Menma did in their favorite anime. Naruto heard and opened on eye, "Shut up, it helps me focus."

Naruto went back to concentrating before a cloud of smoke erupted, when the smoke cleared Izuku saw six Narutos standing before him.

He went up to one and poked it all around, seeing if it was tangible. The clone rose and eyebrow, "What are you doing?"

Izuku screamed and stood straight up, "They can talk, this is just like Ectoplasm's quirk!"

The OG Naruto shook his head, "Not quite, I can't change the size of my clones. Also I don't believe I have a limit on the amount I can make, but I don't have the control to make a ton without spending too much energy. They go down in one hit, but they have all my abilities and I get the memories they do. It's pretty annoying getting all that info mid-fight, but I've learned how to handle it."

"You get their memories?" Izuku asked, intrigued.

Naruto nodded his head, he turned away from Izuku and said, "Hold up a number then destroy the clone."

Izuku put up two fingers in front of a clone's face before punching it with 5% power. Shortly after Naruto said, "You held up two fingers and then destroyed it with a punch."

Izuku looked at his brother amazed, "That's so cool, you could use that for so many things like recon, distractions, bait, and you could also fight alongside them , or use them to extend combos, or-"

"IZUKU," Naruto yelled, stopping his brother's mutterings, "I know. You don't think I thought of all that. I have other things to show you."

Izuku bashfully scratched his head and chuckled, "Sorry, show me the other one."

Naruto nodded his head towards the clones and they all dispelled. He shook his head lightly to get rid of the small headache that came and prepared to use his next quirk, " Okay ladies and gentlemen, I bring you this next quirk. Let's hear it for, RAZOR WIND!"

As Naruto said that a tornado was conjured around him. Izuku was actually blasted back a bit by the force of the winds. He looked closely to see how fast it was spinning and gulped, he had a feeling that he'd be shredded to pieces if he got any closer to that.

The tornado died down and Naruto was grinning as he saw his brother's shocked face. He had a few cuts on his shirt and shorts but nothing too bad, "If that shocks you then you are not prepared for this."

Izuku was gonna ask what his brother meant before Naruto turned to a tree and raised his arm. He had his pointer and middle finger raised before swiftly bringing it down diagonally.

Nothing happened for a few seconds before the top half of the tree slowly slid off the bottom half. Izuku's mouth was agape, he couldn't believe his brother had three powerful quirks. In his mind Naruto took a drastic lead in the race for number one. He would have to work three times as hard if he wanted to be a contender for the best hero in the world.

Izuku was knocked out of his stupor when he heard his brother, "So, what do you think. I've far from mastered any of my quirks, but I think I'm making good progress."

Izuku beamed at his brother, "That was awesome, I can't wait to fight you once you master your quirks. It's going to be one heck of a fight."

Naruto smirked, "Itching to lose so soon bro."

Izuku copied his smirk, "You're going to be the one losing."

Naruto stuck out his hand, "Fine then it's agreed, once we master our power we'll have a fight for the ages."

Izuku took his hand and squeezed, "We'll see who's really number one then."

So with that the boys proceeded to head home. With a renewed vigor in their ever running contest to become the number one hero.
