Chapter 2
Izuku run as fast as his small legs could carry him, he knew he would be in trouble but nothing could put his excitement down, his shot to be a hero was in his small arms maybe with these books his dream could become true.
After 25 minutes running he reached his house, panting a little he steeled himself, his mom would be mad without doubt, but he needed to tell her about what he found!
Turning the knob of his department, the door slammed open revealing his mom. She was crying her eyes out holding a napkin in one hand and the phone on the other one
"IZUKU!" She cried dropping the phone to hug her son "Where were you I was worried sick! You're in so much trouble young man!" she cried on his ear
"I'm sorry mom I was… playing and lost track of time, I promise I'm totally fine!" he reassured the best he could "And I have something to tell you mom!" before he could explain what he found both heard a buzzing on the phone his mom dropped "Were you talking with someone mom?"
"Ah! Wait a moment I was talking to the police!" His eyes widened at the words of his mom, she picked up the phone and started talking to the officer "Hello, Yeah I'm so sorry he just arrived, thank you so much and sorry again"
"Why were you talking to the police mom? I'm late but … I'm just two hours late is not that much" Izuku questioned
"I thought something happened to you, you're never late and I got worried Izuku, you could get hurt or lost" Izuku hid his flinch as much as he could. That was actually what happened "And you don't have anything to help you…" her eyes widened, and Izuku's head dropped
"I don't have a quirk to help me in those situations… I know mom" he said sadly "Don't worry mom I just lost track of time while playing… are you going to give me a punishment or can I go to my room?" Inko's eyes started to water
"I'm sorry Izu… I'm not going to punish you this time but please don't do it again" she sighed "Dinner is ready you can eat before you go to your-"
"I'm not hungry mom" saying that Izuku walked to his room leaving a teary-eyed Inko at the entrance of their home who didn't notice the two books in her son's arms. Closing the door to his room Izuku put his back on the door, he knew his mom was just worried about him, it's normal after all, but saying that he was in more danger than everyone for not having a quirk hurt him… even if she isn't completely wrong.
He took a deep breath, went to his desk put the books on the table, and slapped his cheeks, he needed to focus, maybe if he can control what is on the books, his mom would never have to be worried for him again. Steeling his resolve he opened the Book to understand chakra better and perform better ninjutsu volume #1 and one of his own notebooks and started to study.
It's been two days since the chaotic day on the mountain, discovering the books and his new resolve to become a hero. And Izuku wasn't having a good time, he already read the books and made way more notes than needed but he couldn't tap on the chakra.
"Come on what am I doing wrong?" Izuku muttered "Ok I think I have enough stamina for my age after all running from the other kids really gave me a lot of it… I think that's something I have to thanks Ka- Bakugo for" that was another thing he was working on, finally stopping calling Bakugo his old nickname for him.
"And no matter how much I meditate I can't seem to tap on the spiritual energy… maybe… maybe I can't do this, maybe everyone is right and I'm only a Deku." His resolve was breaking, after all, he was just a small bullied child, and almost everyone he knew said that he was worthless and that he couldn't become a hero.
Izuku dropped to the floor of his room, he was giving up, no matter how he tried he was getting frustrated, nothing was working, he let himself lean completely on the floor, and now he was looking at his ceiling a single poster of All Might with the quote "You can do it, I believe in you"
In his child's mind it was like his favorite hero was talking to him, like saying "Don't give up Kid!" and that again steeled his resolve
Izuku took a deep breath and sit up again. He will try again, over and over again! He would not give up when something literally appeared in front of him and gave him hope!
"Ok let's try again" Izuku told himself, repeating on his head all the steps to enter in a meditative state he researched on the internet, taking a deep breath he started to clear his mind
After a while, Izuku's mind entered a deep meditative state and he could picture himself floating in a white ocean of nothingness, and started again to reach for the energies he needed to activate his chakra, he almost instantly tapped the physical energy already getting accustomed to the feeling of that energy, in his mind the energy turned into a green sphere and he took it in his hand.
Now he started to look inside himself for the spiritual one. Normally after a few minutes of searching he would give up or simply lose focus, but this time he was completely determined to find it, his resolve must have something to do because suddenly he felt something new, another type of energy that he hasn't felt before.
Trying to not lose focus or get too excited, he started reaching for that new feeling. At first hand, he could tell that it was really different from the physical energy. The physical energy was wild and energetic, this felt… warm was the only way his mind could describe it, like something he craved for.
Finally, he saw it, a big red energy on a part of his mind, "That's must be it!" he couldn't help but grin, his dreams will become a reality! He extended his arm only for it to not reach the energy and unlike the physical energy, it wouldn't go to his hand.
"Come on come here!" he shouted in his mind "Just a little bit more, I'm so close" he could feel himself lose focus "No I can't lose focus now that I'm so close, I'm not going to give up, I'm going to prove everyone that doubted me wrong! I'll become a hero that saves everyone with a smile and nothing will stop me!" Every doubt, every thought that weighed him down was vanishing from his mind, finally, his soul was soaring with true happiness and hope "Yeah I'll become that, a symbol of hope for everyone! Suddenly his hand touched the warm energy and turned into a sphere of red light on his hand, he looked at it smiling
"And no one will stop me" he whispered to himself, using his hands to merge both spheres of energy to become what he needed to make that dream come true.
Izuku gasped and suddenly he was again in his room out of his meditative state "Wha- What happened?" he said looking around, his eyes widened when he focused again "I did it, I did it" he whispered. But did he? He shook his head "No more doubts" he thought standing up
He focused and suppressed a scream when he felt it. He felt the chakra running through his body. Focusing again he tapped his new energy, his chakra, and focused it on his hand only to squeal a bit when he saw the blue energy surrounding it!
Finally, he let the tears fall from his eyes, he made it, after all this time he really made it.
"I need to train my chakra" he giggled a little after thinking that "I need to master it and train more than everyone… and I need to get the next twelve volumes of Minato's books" his mind halted a bit "Namikaze Minato I don't know who you were or what happened to you… but thanks for helping me to achieve my dreams, I know I still have a long way to go… but thanks to you and your books I know I can do it. Thank you so much… Sensei" whispered Izuku with a little smile.
Far away in a mountain lost to the man, someone felt a spike of chakra suddenly appear, it's been centuries since someone awakened its chakra, when the hidden villages fell and the new era started, the ninjas slowly disappeared from the earth, and the final nail of the era of the Ninjas was when the quirk started to manifest on the world.
"So a new Shinobi has born… this will be really interesting" croaked a small figure
The second chapter is done, I had to put colors to the energies to help myself explain the situation, hope you guys like it.
