The next morning in Japan, Izuku woke up, still thinking about last night. He still had many questions on his mind. Maybe even more questions than before. He tried to forget all about it, as that blue-banded Turtle said. But there was no way to do that.

Izuku: 'How am I going to forget everything I saw or heard last night? What is going on?' - He thought as he got up - 'It is possible for someone to go through a mutation like that; without it involving a Quirk? How did those guys turn into Mutant Turtles? If they're trying to help by fighting those people, then why not ask the heroes for help? Who is this Foot Clan, and who is this Shredder?' - He thought as he walked to the bathroom and entered it to do his traditional hygiene, like brushing his teeth and taking a shower.

Izuku's head was racing at this point. He is a person fascinated by Quirks and an analyst when it comes to it. But he's also a worried person, and seeing those kind of people in his town who possibly don't have any heroes knowing this to help worried him. He wants to do something. He wants to help. He wants answers. But he was afraid of what would happen to him if he spoke.

Well, the boy's head is racing. But now he had more important things to focus on, like his training with All Might. Of course, he would have to put up with one more day at that damn school, but he did. The important thing is to stay strong to achieve his dream.

After finishing her shower, Izuku goes to the kitchen and sees her mother making breakfast for the two of them.

Izuku: "Good morning, Mom."

Inko: "Oh, good morning, Dear! Sit down, the breakfast is almost ready."

Izuku sat on the table, but he still had those thoughts in his mind. He stared into space, his mind processing everything that had happened last night. Izuku was so silent that Inko even found it strange.

Inko: "Son, are you all right?"

Izuku: "Huh?"

Inko: "It's just that ever since you arrived from the market last night, you've been acting weird. Like your head is really in the clouds, or like you've seen something that makes your head fill with questions."

Izuku: 'You have no idea, mom.'

Inko: "Is something bothering you, honey? You can tell me if you want." - She said while serving breakfast, which consists of steamed rice and grilled fish.

Izuku: 'Should I tell her? No, better not. I don't want to make my mother worried or get her involved in something that has nothing to do with her.' - He thought as he looked at his breakfast and then at his mother.

Inko: "Son?"

Izuku: "Ah! It's nothing, Mom. It's just a silly thing, it's no big deal." - He said while eating a piece of the fish.

Inko: "Are you sure?" - Inko gave that look that only a mother is capable of, which made Izuku give a way a little.

Izuku: "It's just... Mom, what's the weirdest thing you've ever seen?"

Inko: "Like what?"

Izuku: "Like... people with very unusual appearances. As if they have all green skin and they wear combat equipment... and that, possibly, can speak our language and also another."

As Izuku described it, Inko had an imaginary cloud under her head and a hand under her chin, trying to imagine what her son was talking about. Until...

Inko: "Like an alien?" - Yes, that was her conclusion.

Izuku: "No, mom. Like a turtle."

Inko: "A turtle? Why a turtle?"

Izuku: "It's just..." - Izuku saw that this conversation wouldn't go anywhere, unless he told the whole truth, which he didn't want to do - "it's nothing. I watched one american movie these days, and I was thinking about these things. Hehehe!"

Izuku was hoping his mother would believe his lie. He didn't like doing this to her, but he didn't want to worry his mother, let alone get her involved in a matter that could be dangerous. And to her relief, she believed it.

Inko: "Oh, I see. That movie must have been pretty weird to make you look like this." - She said while chuckling.

Izuku: "Yeah. That's also my father's fault, who really liked those kinds of movies." - He said smiling when remembering the good times where they spent time watching movies, and most of the time it was movies that Hisashi chose.

Inko: "Hehehe, good times, huh?" - She said with a sincere smile.

Izuku: "Yeah... good times..." - he said while looking at the empty chair next to them. But he made a small smile remembering those times. Until he decided to eat his Breakfast.

Today was another training day. Another day to work hard to get stronger to achieve your dream of being a hero. However, he had another thought in mind. Izuku looked at the window and thought:

Izuku: 'What are they doing right now?'

[Opening moment: Put on TMNT 2012 Theme Song]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

It shows Izuku leaving 1-A and receiving a text on his cell phone. And when the boy looks at the message, he smiles. The scene switches to showing Izuku on top of that building where he discovered All Might's secret.

Heroes in a Half-shell Turtle Power!

Soon, Izuku looks back and sees them, his new friends and considerate brothers, The Ninja Turtles, smiling at him.

Here we go

It's the lean, green, ninja team

On the scene, cool teens doin' ninja things

So extreme, out the sewer, like laser beams

Get rocked with the Shell-shocked Pizza Kings

It shows Izuku wearing a Hamato clan ninja outfit with a green sash with two holes in his face, and then shows him holding one of Leonardo's Katanas and training with it. Then it shows Izuku training with one of Michelangelo's Nunchakus.

Emerge from the shadows, to make their moves

Then he practices with a Bo stick from Donatello and then with Raphael's Sais.

The goodguys win and the bad guys lose.

It then shows Shigaraki and the league of villains striking a deal with Oroku Saki the Shredder. Then it shows the league of villains and the foot clan united.

Leonardo's the leader in blue

Raphael has the most attitude on the team.

At this point, we see Izuku and Michelangelo kicking the faces of some of the clan's ninjas. Izuku and Raphael punching each other. It then shows him and Donatello using the grappling hooks to climb a building. And finally, it shows Izuku and Leonardo cutting some robots, which belong to the Kraags.

Heroes in a Half-shell. Turtle Power!

And the opening ends with Izuku and the turtles climbing the top of a building and staying in the shadows. He could see almost none of them, but he could see that their eyes were white in the shadows. And they're all looking at you readers. hehe.

[End of opening]

Izuku was walking to Dagoba beach after another day at Aldera's school. Staying in that place was horrible. He had no friends and no one to talk to. Not even the teachers and staff cared about him. All this for two reasons. Because he's someone with no Quirk and Katsuki Bakugou. He was always praised because of his power, which is quite powerful, but it filled his ego. Izuku even thought about trying to regain his old friendship with him, but it was no use. Bakugou always acted in a brave and aggressive way with Izuku, and the green one couldn't do anything.

Still talking about him, Izuku noticed that during this time since he saved that slime villain, the Bakugou became quieter and didn't keep bothering the greenish one. He found this strange, but he had more important things to think about. And his training was one of them.

Toshinori: "Ah, Young Midoriya. You arrived just in time."

Toshinori Yagi, who in his All Might form is all-powerful and muscular, but in his normal form, he is a very thin male with sharp, angular features and long limbs, with his long neck and missing eyebrows. All this thanks to a wound he suffered from his enemy.

Toshinori: "Ready for another day of training?"

Izuku: "Sure, I am." - Said in a neutral way, which Toshinori found very strange, because with the time he spent with the greenish; he never acted that way.

Toshinori: "Young Midoriya, is something bothering you? Did something happen?"

Izuku: "Well..."

Izuku: 'Should I tell him? It would be a good one, because he could help. But if I tell them, will they come after me? Would that end up getting All Might into trouble? I better not risk it. But, I think it doesn't hurt to take a curiosity.' - He thought about putting his hand on his chin and looked at Toshinori, who was looking at him, waiting for his successor to speak.

Izuku: "All Might."

Toshinori: "Yes?"

Izuku: "You must have seen a lot of things in your hero days, right? Even more so when you were younger."

Toshinori: "Yes, I've seen, felt and experienced many things in this life. But there are certain things I'd rather forget about." - Toshinori was referring to his time when Gran Torino trained him, and it was sufferable for the blonde - "But why are you asking this question?"

Izuku: "So... have you ever seen people mutate without it involving a Quirk?"

Toshinori: "What?"

Izuku: "Let's suppose that one... not one, four people went through some kind of mutation. But it wasn't caused by those people's Quirks or anything else. And that those people turned into some kind of turtle... mutants."

As Izuku spoke, Toshinori found this more awkward. Man has seen many things in his time as a hero, but this is new.

Toshinori: "Is there anything else they are?" - He asked with his hand on his chin.

Izuku: "...are they ninjas?" - He said while letting out an embarrassing smile.

Toshinori found this more strange. Why would his successor be asking this kind of question? What question is that? Where did he get that question from? What made him ask that question?

Toshinori: "Look, since I was younger, I've seen many things in my life. But this is new. In fact, what you just said sounds like it came out of a fictional story. Young Midoriya, have you seen it anything you want to tell me?"

Izuku was surprised. If even All Might doesn't know this or has seen anything like it, then who but him knows? This only increased his curiosity about the turtles even more.

Toshinori: "Young Midoriya?" - Toshinori's call made Izuku wake up from his little world. He had to come up with an excuse and put that aside for now.

Izuku: "Ah... it's just... I watched a really weird American movie these days and I was wondering if something like that was possible. Hehe!" - Izuku was hoping that All Might would believe his lie, and to his relief, he did.

Toshinori: "Oh, yes. I like the American movies. Some are really fun and interesting! These days I saw a movie where a boy is bitten by a spider and gains spider powers! Hahahaha! This movie and yours sequels were fun."

Izuku: 'I'm glad he believed it.' - Izuku sighed in relief, until - 'Wait, is this movie he's talking about as what I'm thinking about?'

Toshinori: "Well, let's stop bickering and continue with the training. And by the looks of it, we're progressing well so far." - He said when he saw the garbage that still remained on the beach. There was still a lot, but not so much compared to what I had 5 months ago. - "Let's continue, Young Midoriya!"

Izuku: "Yes sir!"

[Timeskip: 4 hours later]

(Time: 19:00)

[Turtles' Hideout]

In this time, Izuku trained, trained and trained. Toshinori saw great progress in the boy's training, and saw that his physique was great. Izuku had already told All Might that he trained to get strong from time to time, and that made his training easier. He didn't have a big body, but he had a commendable physique. Now with the training, his physique has improved a lot, as much as it hurt from time to time.

While Izuku trained, we went back to the Turtles' hideout. Mikey was listening to music with his headphones while dancing. Raphael was beating his punching bag. Donnie was at the computer trying to find out about the League of Villains and their possible crimes. Leonardo was taking care of the weapons, keeping them clean and well maintained. As for Master Splinter, he was meditating... or at least trying to, for he was still thinking about what his sons said about such a green-haired boy.

(Flashback)

Splinter was standing in front of his sons, who were on their knees.

Splinter: "Explain to me, how were you seen?"

Leonardo: "We were looking for the Foot Clan around the town, and when we found it, we faced them. We had no difficulty. But what we didn't notice is that there was a boy there, and he saw us."

Donatello: "He even thought we looked like this because of Quirks. We even tried to use that lie, but..."

Raphael: "The stupid Mikey had to open his mouth to tell the truth about us..." - Raphael was looking at Michelangelo with a crossed vein in his head.

Michelangelo: "I already apologized!"

Leonardo: "But relax, master. I already told the boy not to tell anyone about us or involve the police or the heroes in this matter."

Splinter: "But what makes you sure he won't tell anyone about us, Leonardo?"

Leonardo was silent. Splinter was right. How was he to know that a boy wouldn't talk about it to anyone or even question them, knowing that he and his brothers aren't like that because of a Quirk. Leonardo was hoping Izuku wouldn't say anything.

Leonardo: "I... I don't know, Dad..."

Leonardo's answer made Splinter sigh, before he could ask another question.

Splinter: "Do you even know who this kid is?"

Leonardo: "Yes. His name is: Izuku Midoriya."

When Leonardo said the name: "Midoriya", Splinter's eyes widened. And his sons noticed their father's sudden behavior.

Donatello: "Master, is everything alright?"

Splinter: "Yes my son... I just... remembered something. You can go."

Michelangelo: "Really? No punishment or anything like that? Wow!" - Michelangelo received a violent elbow from Raphael, for having opened his mouth to speak.

Splinter: "No. No punishment." - his children were surprised that their master answered Mikey's question, and it wasn't the answer they expected - "Unless you want to." - He said while throwing a serious look.

Leo/Raph/Donnie/Mikey: "NO MASTER!" - They said as they ran.

Splinter stood still before dropping to his knees to meditate, but his head wouldn't allow it. He was still thinking about the boy's name. More precisely, in his last name. He knows that last name and hasn't heard from it in a long time.

Splinter: 'Hisashi... is he here? My sons saw your son. Hehe, who knew? How are you, my friend?' - He thought looking at a shelf where he had four framed pictures with four pictures. One is from Splinter with his kids. Another is of Hamato Yoshi with his late wife. While the remaining two were from Hamato with an old friend he hasn't seen in a long time. And the other is from Hamato with Hisashi, when they were younger.

(End of Flashback)

Splinter was so thoughtful about yesterday's subject that he didn't even notice Leonardo stopped in front of him.

Leonardo: "Dad, is everything okay?"

Splinter: "Huh? Oh, yes I am, Leonardo. I'm still thinking about what happened yesterday."

Leonardo: "Oh...look, Dad. I promise it won't happen again, and I'm very sorry for what happened." - He said as he bowed.

Splinter: "It's okay, Leonardo. It's not even the first time you've been seen after all." - clearly referring to the events in New York, where he and his brothers met their allies and friends. They are currently taking care of New York while the brothers are away.

Leonardo: "Yes, but even so, I'll try not to make it happen again." - He said as he got up and walked to Donnie.

Splinter stood still as he continued to think about Izuku and his old friend Hisashi.

Splinter: 'Will I ever see you again, my friend?'

Donatello fiddled with his computer and ran his hand over his face in frustration.

Leonardo: "Hey, Donnie. Anything?" - Leo stood next to Donatello, who was sitting in the chair.

Donatello: "So, all I have is bad news. I haven't found anything about this League of Villains and that tracker I put in that truck last night is having a lot of signal interference."

Leonardo: "Have you tried to fix it?"

Donatello: "Yes, I've tried it, but it's not working anyway. It's like this interference isn't coming from a device, antenna, or anything like that. The way now is to go out there again and try to get more information. Not to mention, we shouldn't miss being seen again."

Leonardo: "Right. Raph, Mikey!"

Raphael stopped training to look at Leonardo, Michelangelo was still enjoying his music. Even Raphael approached him and slapped his head and pointed at Leo, which made Mikey take off his headphones.

Leonardo: "Get your equipment. Let's go out again."

[Back to Izuku]

Izuku was walking normally in the streets. He stayed a little later in his training. For him, spending more time training will be better. As much as Toshinori tells his successor not to exaggerate, as this will end up harming the boy and he needs a rest.

The night was quiet, but to his misfortune, he saw a moving truck, and he headed towards a place not too busy. Izuku didn't have a good feeling about who was driving that truck. He even thought about putting it aside, but a part of him told him to go there and investigate. He needed to be sure.

Izuku: "Damn it, Izuku..." - Izuku ran to where that truck was going and without him knowing, about four figures jumped from one building to the other.

Izuku approached to where the one walked stopped, and was hiding. Until he saw the driver get out of the vehicle and put on a mask, and it's the same one those ninjas from yesterday were wearing. The Ninja went to the back of the vehicle and opened its cargo, causing several other ninjas to come out.

Izuku: 'It's them! What will they be up to this time?'

Izuku saw one of the ninja walk to a garage door and open it. Inside there are some boxes that seem to be quite heavy and a guy who is wearing a black suit with a tie.

Ninja: "Did you bring everything we asked for?"

Subject: "Yes, it's all there. If you want, you can check it out." - This guy spoke in a very robotic way

One of the ninjas went to one of the boxes and opened it. There were more of those bottles inside with the gooey green liquid inside. The Checking Ninja gave a signal that everything is in there to the ninja who looked like the one who was commanding them.

Ninja: "Thanks for collaborating."

Subject: "As you humans say: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Get in touch if you need anything else."

Ninja: "Take care, Kraang." - As they talked, the remaining ninjas picked up and placed the boxes on the truck load. After that, the gate closes.

Izuku wanted to do something, but he didn't know what to do. Those strange people are in his town and he feared that bad garlic would happen. Until he got the hell out of there and decided to go warn the police and maybe the heroes, but first, he'd need proof. He took out his cell phone to take some pictures or record, until he felt someone behind him. He turned around and saw one of the Ninjas looking at him before kicking the boy and dragging him towards the others.

Ninja two: "I found this kid spying on us. I believe he wanted to record us to alert the police or local heroes."

Izuku saw the ninjas looking at him, all standing still. The boy was terrified. This was far worse than the stares he got at school, for the simple fact that people around him could kill him if they wanted to.

???: Wait.

Izuku looked up and saw that rookie ninja from last night.

Novice Ninja: "That's the boy of the that night. The night where me and the others were attacked by those turtles. If he's here, then he's definitely come to warn them." - His comment made all the ninjas look at Izuku again. Now they see him as an enemy.

Ninja One: "So you're an ally of those turtles?"

Izuku: "N-No! I d-don't even know who t-they were."

Ninja two: "So why did you take out your cell phone to take pictures or footage of us?"

Izuku: "B-Because..." - Izuku was very scared, but he took a deep breath and decided to put his fear aside. If he wants to be a hero, he first needs to put his fear aside and face the evil that is in front of him.

Izuku: "Because I won't let you guys do something bad in this city or in Japan... I won't let you go unnoticed!" - Izuku looked at them with a look that he was no longer afraid of. They were surprised, but unaffected.

Ninja two: "So..." - He kicked the boy in the face, making him fall to the ground again.

He was going to kick the boy in the stomach, but Izuku grabbed his leg and pulled him, causing the ninja to fall this time. Izuku went after him to attack him, but obviously, the others ninjas decided to act. Two grabbed and held the boy's arms, while the others started beating and kicking Izuku all over his body.

The boy was trying to resist or fight back, but there was no way. After beating him so much, the ninjas who were holding his arms release him, and Izuku falls to the ground. He's full of bruises. Until the rookie took his sword to finish off the boy.

Novice Ninja: "No witnesses or evidence."

He raised his sword to slash and kill the boy, until a shuriken hit his leg, making him groan in pain. The Ninjas look around to see who did this, until...

Michelangelo: "Booyakasha!"

They saw Mikey jumping towards one of the ninjas and knocking him down, but he didn't stop there. He advanced on another, who tried to attack the turtle, and wrapped their arm with the chains of his Nunchaku, which he turned into a Kusarigama, and threw him on top of another ninja.

Raphael: "Hello there!"

One ninja turned around, but ended up being grabbed by the face to be thrown at two ninjas. Donatello, who simply jumped in front of one of the ninjas that was heading for Raphael, and shocked him with one of his devices that he keeps with him.

Izuku, who was still down on the ground, watched the turtles spring into action, but his vision was dim. But he could see that that blue-banded Turtle approached him and held him with both arms, and he heard him yelling at his brothers for them to go away. After that, Izuku closed his eyes.

Afterwards, Izuku starts to open his eyes and sees that he was somewhere else. It wasn't a hospital, let alone his house. He starts to get up and sees he was in some kind of room. That place had a lot of comics, and some hero posters, more from movies than any that exist.

Izuku: "What happened?" - Izuku kept his hand on his head to try to remember what happened, until he remembers the ninjas having beaten him.

The boy looks at his body and sees that he didn't have any bruises. Not only that, but he wasn't feeling any pain either. It was as if he had never received a beating a few moments ago. Izuku starts to sit on the side of the bed where he was, until someone opens the door.

Michelangelo: "Oh, you woke up. So, how are you feeling?"

Izuku: "I-I feel good. Thank you."

Michelangelo: "Oh, don't thank me, man. Master Splinter took good care of you. He made a point of taking care of you. I thought that was strange, but also nice of him. As for me, I offered to let you rest in my room." - He said while leaving his arms open to demonstrate his room.

Izuku: "Ah, t-thank you for your hospitality and I'm sorry for being a nuisance, Mr Turtle." - He said as he stood up and made a small reference.

Michelangelo: "Hey, don't worry. And my name is Michelangelo, but you can call me Mikey." - He said while smiling, until someone else entered the room.

Donatello: "Looks like he's woken up. Good. How are you feeling, kid?"

Izuku: "I'm fine. Ah, how long have I been here?"

Donatello: "It's been 1 hour and 45 minutes." - When Donnie said the time Izuku was there, he despaired.

Izuku: "Oh my God! My mom! I need to call her to let her know I'm fine!" - Izuku kept looking for his cell phone in his pockets, but it wasn't anywhere, which increased his despair - "Oh no..."

Donatello: "Calm down, kid. Your cell phone was damaged, but I fixed it. Come on, I left it on the lab table." - He said as he and Mikey left the room.

Izuku follows them and as soon as he leaves the room, he starts looking around the hiding place. He was kind of fascinated by that place, so much so that he stopped following the two brothers.

Raphael: "Hey there!"

Izuku gets scared and looks back to see Raphael laughing at the scare the boy had.

Raphael: "Hahahaha! Sorry, I couldn't resist." - He said while catching his breath - "I see you're better now."

Izuku: "W-well... y-yes..."

Raphael: "Hey, don't be afraid of me. I know, I look scary and intimidating, but I'm cool. Trust me."

Michelangelo: "Don't believe him, little guy." - Izuku was startled to see Mikey appear behind the greenish man - "Once he eat the pizza I left in the fridge, and kept saying that he didn't eat it." - He said while pointing to Raph's face.

Raphael: "Come on, I was hungry and I couldn't resist. Also, consider it karma."

Michelangelo: "For what? As far as I know I never took anything from you without telling you." - He said with his arms crossed.

Raphael: "Oh no? And that time I found one of my Sais dirty from pizza on the table?" - Raphael had an angry face as he looked at Mikey who was sweating - "Not to mention your pranks, which drive me crazy."

Michelangelo: "Hey, my pranks are funny! It's not my fault you have a short fuse."

Raphael: "Let's see who has a short fuse here?!"

Raphael was running after Michelangelo who was running from his brother as he screamed. On the other hand, Izuku looked like he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Who knew that two mutant ninja turtles would be fighting for reasons that only brothers would fight.

Donatello: "They're always like that. It's become a habit." - Donnie approached Izuku's side and extended the boy's cell phone to him - "Here it is, kid."

Izuku: "Thank you." - Izuku took out his cell phone and started looking for his mother's contact. When he finds it; he calls on time.

He waited until his mother answered, until...

Inko: "Izuku, is that you?!" - Inko had a tone that she was very worried, which was to be expected.

Izuku: "Hi, Mom. It's me. I just called to let you know that I'm fine, and I apologize for worrying you."

Inko: "What matters is that you're okay, honey. Anyway, where are you?"

Izuku: "I..." - Izuku looked around to think what to say to his mother, until he looked at the Turtles and already had an idea. - "I'm at my friends' house that I made a while ago, mom."

Inko: "Friends? Why didn't you ever tell me about them?"

Izuku: "Ah... I forgot to tell you. Hehe!" - Izuku kept rooting for his mother to believe what he's saying

Inko: "Are these friends of yours at least nice?"

Izuku: "Yeah, they're cool..." - Izuku looked at where the three brothers were and saw Raph grabbing Mikey and throwing him on the kitchen table, while Donnie tried to stop the two - "very cool... "- He said with a comical bead of sweat falling on his head.

Inko: "That's good. That made me relieved. But please, next time let me know. You know how worried I get."

Izuku: "I know, Mom. It won't happen again, I promise. I'll be back home soon, okay?"

Inko: "Okay, son. Take care and don't take too long."

Izuku: "Okay, Mom. Bye." - Izuku hung up the call and turned his attention to where the three brothers were.

Raph was going for Mikey, but Donnie was holding him, but he was having a hard time. Izuku thought of a way to help defuse the situation, only...

???: "Raphael..."

Izuku heard a voice coming from behind him. When he turns around, and he sees Leonardo and Splinter looking at where Raphael was.

Splinter: "That's enough."

Donnie lets go of Raphael, who was scared with that look Splinter was giving him, and is stiffened.

Raphael: "Sorry, master." - He said while making a quick reference. Until he looked at Mikey and gave that look: Next time you'll see. And that made Mikey cringe a little.

Splinter: "I apologize for what happened just now. They're always like this." - Splinter turned his attention to Izuku, who was surprised to see a talking old rat.

Izuku: "Ah... it's ok. It didn't bother me..."

Splinter noticed Izuku's gaze and behavior. His children had already warned that Izuku already knows that they are not like that because of a Quirk, and he knows that the boy has his head full of questions.

Splinter: "Your name is Izuku Midoriya, isn't it?"

Izuku: "Y-Yes sir."

Splinter: "I think you have a lot of questions on your mind. I think you'll want to sit down."

Splinter motioned for the boy to sit on the couch, and he did. He felt that that mouse was not a bad person, so he felt he could trust him. As long as he didn't do anything bad to them.

Splinter: "My name is Splinter, but a long time ago, I had another name. Hamato Yoshi, and I was a normal person."

Izuku: "You was? So you mean you're not like that because of a Quirk too? Of course, I know these four aren't, but you too?"

Splinter: "Exactly. A long time ago, I was just a student of a clan of ninjas who kept the peace. One day, I inherited a martial arts school before inheriting my father's role as clan leader. At school, I had a rival. He was my foster brother, Oroku Saki. Not only was he my rival in martial arts and ninjutsu, but we were also rivals for the love of a beautiful woman, Tang Shen. She chose to marry me, but Oroku Saki didn't accept that, and insulted me in front of her. I lost my temper and ended up throwing Saki on the ground. Because of that, I ended up feeding the hatred he had against me. He wanted revenge against me."

Izuku: "And what happened next?"

Splinter: "After a while, Oroku Saki discovered his heritage and rebuilt the Foot Clan, and he renamed himself as: Shredder. He came back, set fire to my house and was about to kill me, but Shen interfered and... died in my place..."

Izuku was shocked and even saddened by this story. He saw in Splinter's eyes that this story moved him, and it was an event that will always stay in his mind.

Splinter: "After that, I escaped and fled to America. I decided to make a new life in New York City. And so I wouldn't be lonely, I went to a pet store and bought four baby turtles."

Izuku: "What are you? So you weren't people?"

Leonardo: "No. We were never human."

Izuku was shocked and increasingly he wanted more answers. This was getting very interesting and Splinter noticed it. So he continued.

Splinter: "When I bought those four turtles, I was walking home when I bumped into a man and I felt bad for him. So I followed him. I walked into an alley and overheard a conversation between two strange men, I I was startled by what I heard and I unintentionally scared a mouse hiding in the alley, causing those men to find me and try to kill me. I fought them off, but accidentally, I broke a vial of mutagen and, the liquid that was that vial was spilled on me and the four little turtles. Which made us what we are now." - Said while all the turtles stood beside their master and in front of Izuku.

More and more, Izuku kept getting involved in this story. Every question he had was answered, but that ended up generating more questions. He wanted to ask these questions, but he didn't want to get in the way of Splinter's remaining story.

Splinter: "Since then, I've been hiding in the sewers of New York with those turtles. And more and more, they got bigger and smarter. I taught them the art of martial arts and ninjutsu for them because I knew that a One day they would want to explore the surface, but I also knew it would be dangerous. So I named them after the painters and sculptors in a book on Renaissance Art. And I accepted them as my sons."

Splinter gave a signal for his sons to introduce themselves to Izuku. And so they did.

Leonardo: "My name is Leonardo and I am the leader of the group."

Raphael: "My name is Raphael and I'm the strong man of the group."

Donatello: "My name is Donatello and I'm the smartest of the group."

Michelangelo: "And my name is Michelangelo and I'm the most handsome of the group!" — He said while showing his arms to Izuku.

Raphael: "Most handsome? You're more like the goofiest of the group." - Raph's comment made the others laugh, including Izuku. Mikey had a frown on his face. But Izuku had an important question in mind.

Izuku: "Wait, if you're from New York, why did you come here?"

Splinter: "During the time we were in New York, we ended up having several enemies, we were even unlucky to see that the Shredder was there too."

Michelangelo: "But we also had a lot of friends. They're looking after New York while we're here."

Donatello: "But then, after we defeated several enemies, and always got in the way of the Shredder's plan, we found out that he and the Foot Clan left New York to come here."

Izuku: "How did you guys find out?" - Izuku's question made Raphael get a mock face as he stared at Leo, who was blushing.

Raphael: "Thanks to his girlfriend here." - He said while pointing to Leo, who stood with his arms crossed as he looked to the side.

Leonardo: "Okay, stop it..."

Splinter: "We don't know why they came here and we didn't want to be just curious, so we came here while New York is protected by our friends and allies. Whatever Oroku Saki's intentions, they sure aren't good."

Izuku was scared and worried about the situation. Not only the city, but Japan has a group of villains and the heroes are unaware.

Izuku: "If they're here, why not ask the heroes for help? They can help!" - He said as he got up.

Leonardo: "That's what I told you yesterday, Midoriya. That's our problem. Besides, we don't want to expose our secrets. Imagine how everyone in the country will react when they find out that there are four talking ninja turtles, which are not like this because of a Quirk. We don't want to be exposed to everyone... it used to be hard in New York, now imagine here..."

The atmosphere in that place got pretty boring, even that is interrupted by a sound that came from the computer. Donnie runs to him and alerts his brothers.

Donatello: "Guys, that tracker I put on that truck is working again!"

Leonardo: "Where is he, Donnie?"

Donatello: "From what I'm seeing here, he's on the move in the city streets. If we hurry using our van, we can stop him."

Leonardo: "Right. Everyone grab your gear and let's go!"

Izuku watched the brothers get their weapons and equipment. He wants to do something, until he had an idea.

Izuku: "W-Wait!" - Izuku's scream made the brothers stop to look at him - "I want to help you."

Leonardo: "Midoriya, I already told you. This is our problem and this is also very dangerous..."

Izuku: "Listen, I can't sit still while I'm aware that there are these... villains that are here in my city and I can't do anything!" - Izuku's sudden scream startled the brothers and surprised Splinter

Izuku: "I promise I won't get in the way and I also promise I won't tell anyone about you or the clan. And I'll also try to hide your secret and help as much as possible. You already have allies in New York, so you can count on me as an ally here in Musutafu. Besides, what kind of hero would I be; knowing that there are people who are in need of help and that there is a threat here in the country and that I am not doing anything?"

Donatello: "What do you mean, Midoriya?"

Izuku: "My dream is to be a hero. A hero who wants to save everyone and help as many people as possible. I want to be a hero who faces evil head on and saves people with a smile on his face. I refuse to pretending there's no evil in town when I know there is, and that no pro hero knows it and isn't even fighting it. So please let me help you..."

The brothers were speechless. They saw in the boy's eyes that he wasn't paying lip service. Izuku indeed wants to help the brothers. The four stared at each other, until they all nodded, but before one of them could say anything...

Splinter: "We accept."

Everyone looked at Splinter in surprise and shock.

Splinter: "Actually, you remind me a lot of your father, Young Izuku."

Izuku: "Did you... did you already know my father?" - Obviously he was surprised.

Splinter: "When I was human, yes. He helped me win Tang Shen and we were very good friends. Until he moved and and I never knew of him. By the way, how is he?"

Izuku: "He... he's gone, Mister Splinter..."

Splinter was surprised and even saddened to learn that one of his old friends had died. He actually saw a bit of Hisashi in Izuku, and he found himself willing to take care of and also teach the boy the art of ninja. To make up for everything Izuku's father has done for him and also for the boy to have a good heart.

Splinter: "I'm sorry about that, young man..."

Izuku: "It's okay. The important thing is that my father wanted me to fulfill my dream and for me to stay firm and strong. That and also for me to help those who needed help. That's what a hero does." - He said with a determined and sincere smile. And Splinter liked what he saw and heard.

Splinter turned to his sons and said.

Splinter: "Boys, let Izuku help. Also, teach him everything I taught you."

Leonardo: "Are you sure, father?"

Splinter: "Absolutely. I'm grateful for what Hisashi has already done for me, and now it's my turn to repay." - He said while looking at izuku and smiling at him.

The boy was surprised. He didn't expect this one. He was happy to know that not only will he help, but that they will also help him to become more skilled. Izuku felt quite blessed.

Izuku: "Thank you... Thank you, Mister Splinter!" - He said bowed to the rat, who was still smiling at the boy.

Splinter: "Call me Splinter, Young Izuku."

Izuku: "Yes sir!"

Raphael: "So, let's go! We don't want to lose that truck."

Leonardo: "You're right, Raph. Would you like to help us, Izuku?" - Leo smiled at the boy, who returned the smile.

Izuku: "Absolutely!"

Izuku ran to the brothers. They had a truck to pick up. This is the beginning of a new friendship and a new life.
