Naruto: What's up beautiful people, it's been too long since we've last talked

Izuku: It is a pleasure to address you all again

Naruto, looking at Cyber: It's almost as if there was some aura of incompetence that prevented us from appearing

Izuku: You should probably be nicer Naruto

Naruto: He can't even hear me, look. This fic is worse than the one you made when you were 11.

Cyber, rising up like a zombie: You say something Naruto

Naruto, sweating: Nope, nothing author

Izuku, wisely stepping away from the conversation: Ummm, onto thank you all for the support for the story. We have hit 44,000 views and have passed 200 favs and follows. The author appreciates each and every one of you guys and hopes you will stick with us till the end

Cyber, from a distance: I WILL NOT ONLY MAKE YOU ALLERGIC TO RAMEN, BUT I WILL ALSO PAIR YOU WITH BAKUGO IF YOU DON'T START SHAPING UP NARUTO

Naruto, rightfully worried: YES SIR

Izuku: Ignore that, onto the story

The school was back in session and the students of class 1-A were waiting to see who would be teaching them for now. The bell had already rung and there was still no sign of their substitute.

"Where's the teacher, not that I'm complaining or anything. But like, shouldn't teachers be here before the bell," a bored Naruto said.

"We are just recovering from an attack, it would make sense if things were to function a bit slower than normal," Momo said in response.

Further discussion was halted when the door opened and in stepped a very mummified homeroom teacher.

The whole class was silent as he went to the front of the class and began to speak, "Okay class, I hope you all relaxed on your break. You've all had time to calm your minds so we'll get right ba-"

Naruto stood up in the middle of his sentence and pointed at Aizawa, "Okay, so are you just going to gloss over the fact that you are now a mummy. I'm not the only one seeing this right."

Aizawa looked at Naruto, or at least moved his head in Naruto's general direction, "I am perfectly capable of teaching a class, Mr. Uzumaki. I will need to halt my hero duties, but Recovery Girl gave me the go-ahead to continue being the homeroom teacher for 1-A."

"So you get injured to the point where they mummify you, and you're allowed to walk around like nothing. I get a few scrapes and I'm not allowed to leave the bed for a week," Naruto said irritated.

Izuku looked up at his brother, "Naruto, you were unconscious for 3 hours. Recovery Girl said you were legally dead for 5 minutes. We're lucky that you're alive. You're healing factor is the only reason you're here right now."

Momo nodded her head, "I must agree with Izuku, you're injuries were quite severe. Resting for an extended amount of time was the proper course of action."

"Traitors," Naruto grumbled as he sat back down, glaring at his supposed friends.

"If people will stop interrupting," Aizawa continued, " I will cut to the chase and tell you guys the news. UA academy has come to a unanimous decision."

The students tensed up, mentally preparing themselves for the news.

"The UA Sports Festival is happening as scheduled."

The class collectively sighed in relief, a normal school thing for once.

Iida, ever the proper scholar, raised his hand waved it rapidly to get Aizawa's attention, "Sensei, do you not think that this festival is happening at an improper time. The attack was but a week ago."

"That was a major concern for us too Iida. However, this festival is too important to the spirit of this school that we could not just cancel it. Not to mention that this is an excellent opportunity for you guys to get scouted by hero agencies."

The class seemed to accept that answer and class went on as usual.

When lunch came around everyone talked amongst themselves about the upcoming festival. Kaminari was talking to Sero before they noticed Ochaco standing next to them with an intense look on her face.

"Uhh, how's it going Ochaco," Kaminari said awkwardly.

Ochaco's response was to raise her fist in the air and say, "I'm going to give it my all."

Kaminari and Sero looked at each other nervously, "Okay."

Ochaco turned to another group of students with her fist still raised, "I'm going to give it my all."

The entire class only looked at each other confused, but for the most part, ignored Ochaco's intensity.

Once Ochaco seemed to calm down she joined the Midoriya brothers, Iida, and Momo as they walked to the cafeteria.

Naruto turned to the bubbly girl shortly after they began their walk, "So Ochaco, what was that whole 'I'm going to give it my all thing about', don't get me wrong, I love the energy, but that was pretty intense."

Ochaco bashfully rubbed the back of her head, "I'm just really excited. This is going to be a huge step towards becoming a hero."

This sparked a question in our favorite green-haired teen, "Why do you want to become a hero Ochaco?"

Ochaco stopped walking and scratched the back of her head even faster, "It sounds bad," she mumbled.

"Can't be that bad," Naruto said.

After a few moments of deep thought, Ochaco looked up and said, "Money."

There was silence for a few minutes before Naruto laughed, "Haha, you think that's bad. What's wrong with wanting to be rich. As long as people are being saved."

Ochaco blushed a little and stopped rubbing her head, "It's not that, my parents run a construction business and it hasn't been doing too well. We've been struggling financially for a while now."

"Wouldn't your quirk drastically reduce the cost of construction," Iida said factually.

"That's what I tell them, but they say that I should stay in school and not worry about them. So I want to be able to make lots of money and help them live comfortably," Ochaco said, determination in her eyes.

"That's a pretty honorable reason to become a hero if you ask me Ochaco. You simply want to help your parents," Momo said.

"Yeah, your helping people, because you want to be able to help more people. What's wrong about that," Naruto added on.

Ochaco looked at her friends shocked, "But other people have more noble reasons to be heroes. I seem selfish in comparison."

"You have the most practical reason for being a hero than anyone," Izuku said, genuinely impressed by Ochaco's ambition.

Ochaco smiled wide when she heard the praise from her friends, "Thanks, guys."

Before the group continued walking All Might came slid in front of the group bowing, "I AM HERE IN A COMPLETELY NORMAL FASHION!"

"All Might!" the group exclaimed. Surprised to see the number one hero in front of them.

"Young Midoriyas," All Might held up a wrapped bento box, "would you like to join me for lunch."

"Yes," both brothers said with stars in their eyes. They waved goodbye to their friends and continued to the cafeteria.

"Naruto and Izuku have a closer relationship to All Might than I thought," Iida said, speaking his mind out loud.

"Yeah, they seem closer to him than the rest of us, who would've thought they'd be the teacher's pet," Ochaco said, chuckling a little.

Unbeknownst to them, their conversation caught the attention of a particular heterochromatic student with red and white hair.

-With All Might-

Toshinori was sipping tea as he sat across from the brothers. Naruto was staring intently at Small Might, trying to comprehend that the deflated man in front of him was the symbol of peace.

"Izuku told me you got smaller when you weren't in hero mode, but this is more than I was expecting," Naruto remarked.

Izuku tensed when he heard that and punched his brother in the arm. He glared at him, "What the heck, don't insult All Might like that."

Toshinori laughed, "No offense taken Young Midoriya. It's a completely rational reaction. Nevermind that, I need to discuss some things with you guys. Specifically you Naruto."

"Is this about my training?" Naruto said.

"Yes, the principal and I have helped to devise a training regime to help you control your quirk, err I mean quirks. We've also decided that you should not show off your extra quirks at the Sports Festival. It would raise too many questions."

Naruto nodded his head in understanding, "Makes sense."

"Your training starts tomorrow so make sure you are properly prepared."

Naruto nodded his head, excited to train with the number one hero.

"Okay, now Young Midoriya," both brothers gave him their full attention.

Toshinori sweatdropped at that, 'I need to stop doing that'

"I'm sorry. I mean Izuku," the green haired teen internally died at hearing his idol call him by his first name, "you also need to up your training. The Sports Festival is going to be important for making your debut as a hero. I'm sorry, but I will not be able to help you a lot with your training. How much of One for All can you handle?"

"I can handle 8% comfortably, and I can go 10% for a little while but it puts a lot of strain on my body, not enough to break it."

Toshinori nodded his head in approval, "That is some good progress. I trust you're able to concoct your own training before the festival. I will suggest looking into making up some ranged attacks, close combat will only get you so far."

Izuku nodded, "I understand All Might, and I'll see what to do about ranged attacks."

"Okay, that's what I wanted to discuss with you fine gentlemen. I look forward to you guys using the Sports Festival to exemplify your Plus Ultra spirit."

"We won't let you down All Might," the brothers said simultaneously.

The bell sounded and the brothers were forced to say goodbye to their favorite hero. The Symbol of Peace waved goodbye to the heroes-in-training, when they were gone he grew serious and went to a computer. He went to a file titled 'All for One' and opened it. It contained a plethora of information about the villain that crippled him, "I promise I'm going to find you All for One. You've ruined too many lives."

-After School-

"Okay, what the fuck," an irritated Naruto said, "if I had a nickel for every time I wanted to leave or enter this school but couldn't cause some fuckers wouldn't let me. I'd have like, 2 or 3 nickels. That doesn't sound like a lot, but that's a hell of a lot more times than normal."

The source of Naruto's irritation was the group of students from various classes crowding the exit for class 1-A. Bakugo took the more aggressive route and pushed ahead to the front of the class, "They're just a bunch of extras trying to scout out the competition. All they need to do is get out of my way."

Bakugo's path was blocked by a sleepy looking kid with purple hair, "Oi, fuck off insomniac."

The purple haired student ignored the explosive teen, "You should be careful about the way you act. They say that if you do well in the festival you could transfer from General classes to the Hero courses. I came here to tell you that I am declaring war on your class, I intend to take my rightful spot on the hero course."

Bakugo was about to blow up on the kid before he was shoved to the back by Naruto. He smiled at the purple haired boy and held out a hand, "Sorry about him, good luck on getting into the hero course. Be warned though, we intend to fight tooth and nail to keep our spots here."

The student was taken aback a bit by Naruto's friendliness, he scoffed shortly after and ignored his hand, "Just be warned, that's all I came here to tell you guys."

'He's a piece of work,' Naruto thought.

"SAY THAT TO MY FACE DIPSHIT, YOU'RE EITHER RETARDED OR BRAIN DEAD IF YOU THINK YOU COULD BEAT ME!" yelled our resident explosive blond.

Shortly after the outburst a student with silver hair and eyebrows that seemed to circle two-thirds of his eyes, "I just wanted to come here to see the class that defeated actual villains. I didn't expect to see some condensing brats that think they're better than the rest of us. Don't think that having one decent guy makes you any better."

Naruto looked at his fellow student blankly for a few silent moments, "Who are you?"

This caused the student to be floored, "I'm from class 1-B, and I don't appreciate how your class thinks they're better than us."

"Okay, Bakugo, thinks like that, and no one likes him," there was a distant 'Hey' heard from the back of class 1-A, "and if you only came here to tell us that you don't like us, then you're wasting your time. If you wanted to see us, we have lunch at the same time. Now if you will kindly get out of our way so that we can leave that would be great."

The student from class 1-B left, disgruntled, and was shortly followed by the rest of the crowd. When they were all out of sight Naruto let out a disgruntled sigh, "Just once, can we leave the school and people don't bother us. This is getting ridiculous. Also, Blue Bomber, can you not antagonize the world for one goddamn second."

Bakugo just put his hands in his pocket and scoffed, "Who gives a damn what people think about us. All we need to worry about is beating them at the Sports Festival."

"You know what, I could get behind that logic.," Naruto said, shocking his brother to his core, along with others in the class, "but that's beside the point, you can't go making enemies with everyone in the damn school. Make enemies with whoever you want in your personal life, but don't wrap the class up in your bullshit."

Bakugo leveled a glare at the whiskered blond, "You don't tell me what to do asshat. I'll act the way I want. Whatever happens, isn't my fucking problem."

"Again, do what you want, just make sure you don't. Wrap. The. Class. In. Your. Bullshit," Naruto said, as he inched towards the explosive teen.

"Step closer and see what happens you, whiskered son of a bitch," Bakugo said threateningly.

"I already know what's going to happen if I get closer to you. I'm going to beat your ass just like the last time we fought, or did you already forget," Naruto said, eyes turning red.

"Just like you to brag over a lucky win," Bakugo said.

"Luck had nothing to do with it asswipe," Naruto said, still inching closer to the other blond.

Momo saw where this was going and decided to interject, "Naruto, don't escalate things even further. Let's just leave. School is over."

Naruto looked at Momo then at Bakugo before turning around, "Okay, fine. Let's go."

As they were leaving Bakugo scoffed and left, 'Damn extras, they keep popping up. This festival will show them to treat me with the respect I deserve.'

Naruto was grumbling as he was walking towards the station with his friends.

Kirishima approached the whiskered blond cautiously, "Are you okay bro, you kind of blew up on Bakugo back there. No pun intended."

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Just been a little stressed lately. Bakugo just presses all the wrong buttons," Naruto said.

Momo chimed in, "You shouldn't let him get to you like that, he's just a person."

"Yeah, also you get kind of scary when you're mad," Tsuyu said.

"I thought that you were going to throw down with Bakugo right then and there," Mina said.

Kaminiari nodded in agreement, "Yeah dude, it looked like you were prepared to murder him if he so much as moved."

Naruto took a large exhale as he stood up higher, "I know, I've just been stressed. The training will help me blow off some steam."

Iida chopped his arm up and down in the air as he interjected, "There must be better ways to handle your anger than training. As our class representative, you must lead by example and handle situations diplomatically."

Naruto rubbed his head, "I know Iida, I know. There's just been a lot going on in my head lately."

"Are you okay Naruto, you can talk to us if you're going through tough times," Momo said, concern written on her face.

Naruto turned to his friends, "Look, guys, thanks for the concern, but I'm fine. Bakugo just got on my nerves today. I'm grateful that you all care about me that much, I really am. However I'll tell you what I told Izuku, I'm handling what happened at the USJ perfectly well, and I know that's what you're all concerned about."

The collective wince from the group confirmed his suspicions, "You don't need to fret over me so much. All you need to worry about is training for the Sports Festival. As your class rep, I expect the best out of all of you."

"Okay Naruto, I'll follow in your manly footsteps and make you proud," A pumped-up Kirishima said.

The train came in at this moment, "Okay, let's go Izuku. We'll see you all later."

When they were on the train Izuku looked at his brother, "Don't you ever feel bad about lying to them. They're worried about you and they want to help. Can't you just tell them some of your problems so that they could help you out."

"We can't tell them anything Izuku, you know that. We can help each other, too many people are already wrapped up in this."

Izuku sighed, "I know Naruto, it's just, I think you need to talk to people. All you do is let me vent to you, which I appreciate, but you need help too."

"Izuku, you know I speak mind at all times. So I mean it when I say that I'm fine. I'm okay with hearing about your problems and I appreciate your concern. I'll admit that I haven't been in the proper headspace lately, but I only blew up because of Bakugo. I just need some rest and I'll be okay."

Izuku looked at his brother with worry, "Okay Naruto, just promise me you'll talk to me or anybody when it's too much to handle."

Naruto gave his brother an appreciative smile, "I promise Izuku, thanks."

"Anytime."

The boys arrived home to see their mom knitting in the living room.

She looked up when she heard them enter and smiled, "Hello sweeties."

"Hey, mom."

"How was school."

"It was fine. Not a lot happened today, a bunch of students didn't let us leave after school was over," Izuku said as he took off his backpack.

"What, why," Inko said as she put down he knitting needles.

"Turns out you become pretty popular when you survive a villain invasion," Naruto said as he went towards his room, "I'm going to rest for a best, I'm tired."

"Is he alright, he usually goes to the kitchen when he comes home," Inko said, worry on her face.

Izuku smiled to ease his mother's nerves, "He's fine, he just had a, confrontation, with Kaachan today."

Inko furrowed her brow, "Do I have to call Mitsuki again, I thought Katsuki would shape up after getting into UA."

Izuku was quick to calm his mother, "No, no, no, it's fine. Everyone's just pumped up because of the Sports Festival. Naruto's fine, honest."

Inko looked at the closed door with a conflicted look, "Okay, just make sure you tell me when he needs help. He went through a lot and I'm worried about him."

Izuku put a comforting hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry mom, I'll make sure he's okay."

Inko eyes were watery as she hugged her son, "You guys are such good brothers, it makes me so happy that you two have each other."

Izuku awkwardly patted his mom's back, "Yeah mom, we're happy we have each other too."

"You two better not be crying about me out there," came the muffled voice of the whiskered teen.

"I just love you two so much," Inko said, still crying.

There were a few seconds of silence, "I love you too."

The night rolled around and the brothers prepared to sleep. Naruto threw a pillow at his brother to get his attention, "You don't have to throw a pillow at me if you want my attention, I'm literally 5 feet away from you."

Naruto ignored his brother's statement, "The Sports Festival is in two weeks correct?"

"Yeah."

"That's two weeks to train, I don't think I can control my quirk that quickly."

Izuku sat on his bed facing his brother, "No one expects you to Naruto, any progress is good progress. We just don't want you to fear your power anymore, it's not your fault it looks villainous."

Naruto winced and Izuku mentally kicked himself. His brother is finally talking to him and he said the worst thing he could at the moment, "That's not what I meant."

"It's okay, I know what you mean," Naruto reassured his brother, "it's just, I wanted to hurt All Might back at USJ. Who else would I hurt if I lose control."

Izuku went to sit next to his brother, "All Might and the principal are helping you so that never happens again. You're a good person at heart, I've lived with you long enough to know that."

"But I lose myself when I get lost in my quirk. How can I call myself a good person when my primal instinct is to cause harm."

"If you weren't a good person then you wouldn't think that way. You want to help people Naruto, your hero spirit alone sets you apart from those villains. As long as you stick with your training you'll be fine, I'm sure of it."

Naruto let what his brother said sink in and gave a small smile, "Thanks Izuku. This, talking about your feelings, stuff is really helpful. I knew I could count on you."

Izuku shared his brother's grin, "I meant it when I said anytime. Now let's sleep, I'm dog tired."

The brothers gave each other one last goodnight before succumbing to the sweet release of sleep.

Cyber: And done, next chapter is going to be a, drum roll please

*Naruto and Izuku proceed to drum roll*

Cyber: TIME SKIP, to the motherf***ing Sports Festival. I'm looking forward to it, and I know you are too, hopefully.

Naruto: I get to punch some fuckers in the face, Booyah.

Izuku: I get to show the fruits of my training, this should be fun.

Cyber: Thanks for sticking with me guys, I'm glad to be writing again. Sorry for another slow chapter, I need to get back in my groove. The next arc should bring this story back to its moderate amount of hype. With all that said, Like if you did, follow if you want to know what happens next, and review to tell me what you think. Constructive criticism is appreciated and encouraged, and even flames are allowed because who am I to stop you. Also, ask questions. I'm thinking about doing a QnA thing because I see other people doing it and it looks fun. So start asking questions, you beautiful bitches. Love Ya.

Edit: Changed some numbers to better reflect the changes I made later in regard to the strength of some characters
