Chapter 52

BACK AT THE NEGISHI RACETRACK GRANDSTAND RUINS

There lay the fallen building of rubble, having yet caught the attention of the public due to what was happening even when it collapsed but it was still night and not much time passed. Slowly, the fallen building of rubble starts to shake right before it explodes with debris flying everywhere, from it a single man could be seen walking out of it, it was Garou whose body was covered in some scratches with his clothing badly damaged and torn. He was very annoyed at what had transpired from inside the basement room. Once he was fully out of the building, he looks around to see he was alone.

"Tch, he used the falling building too stop me but...I wonder if he too had escaped?" Complained the Hero Hunter who scratches the back of his head with his thoughts tracing back to the one that was declared as the next Beast King. Smiling with interest before he felt something and looks in the direction of where Naruto and All For One were fighting.

BACK TO THE FIGHT

"The King's Quirk?" Muttered All For One, who never once heard this name since he only presumed he had his Quirk due to having Bang's Quirk. All of a sudden, blood vomits out of Naruto's mouth who's body starts too shake as his left detached from his body, including a wound exploding from his abdomen as well as large scar appearing on his body, covering most of the left side of his chest. With those injuries, he was having trouble stand all the while his father understood.

"I see, in exchange for receiving ones Quirk, you also take in all there injuries they possessed no matter how small. Compared to our Quirks of taking other people's Quirk's, mine is—" He was cut off by Naruto speaking as his wounds started steaming.

"That's the only down side, yet you don't know the upside to this Quirk." With those words, he quickly got his arm reattached in an instant as well as well as his injuries slowly healing.

"Is he regenerating his wounds, when did he learn that—...he has two tails, did he gain a faster regeneration ability? He must be using a lot of concentration too heal, but..." All For One thought to himself, not yet knowing the other side effect and merely watched as his son was fully healed, quickly. After that, Naruto flexes his left arm and moved it around where cracks could be heard.

"That's better, I'm fully healed..." hearing that, All For One dispersed his weapons so he was holding only his two handed weapon as well as the shadow arms disappearing. By doing this, he traded power for speed since not he carried a single sword.

"Now...the upside...basically, it's a Quirk of trust." Hearing that, his father tilts his head in confusion at what he meant while he continued.

"You see, I can only take another's Quirk if they in turn give me permission. It must go both ways, if it's only one-sided such as me finding myself unworthy, then I don't gain the knowledge. As you can see, I just gained the knowledge of not only All Might's Quirk but also my former masters. Since I'm a demon, I have quite the strong body which can handle All Might's power." With those very words said, All For One was frozen in shock at understanding why he calls it that. It's the King's duty to protect his citizens while the citizens themselves support the King. After saying that, he looks around at the damage then at the woman who looked at him with hope. When he turned away, his gaze was directed at a certain direction.

"I can't fight here, but I know where I can." After thinking that, he crouched a little with his feet cracking the earth, alerting All For One, and at the same time suddenly dashing right for him with shocking speeds that almost seemed like a blink of an eye, with a single swing of his sword he connects with All For One's. In an instant, the villain was sent flying through the sky with great speed from the force and impact of that very strike.

"He took me by surprise, he's as fast as All Might was in his prime!" While thinking that, he turns around to find himself heading for the dome, USJ area where he first had Tomura fight the Students of UA. Not waiting a moment sooner, he had prepared himself to land but turns fast to find Naruto above him with his broken sword raised high. Seeing this, All For One uses his large blade to block but it was knocked out of the way in order for Naruto to grab his father by his very face just as he lands on the ceiling of the training facility before throwing him full force through the roof of the building and with that he was sent speeding down, crashing directly into the center of the area, the fountain that lay there was in turn completely destroyed in a thousand pieces that flew everywhere from the very impact of All For some who now lay there for Naruto landing near the fountain where he stood up straight, watching his father stand up right before he separated the two handled sword in two as well as having them burst with large amount of yellow energy. The left created a hammer while the right looked more like a sword; not only that his body wore a cloak of darkness, using someone else's Quirk. Immediately he charged directly for Naruto who did the same, going full sprint with the ground cracking under his feet. The moment they were close enough, Naruto swung down his blade that was broken and was now half its size yet still usable. To block the strike, his father uses his right sword that stopped his own while the left was swung towards Naruto's right yet he uses his left arm and moved it over his right to stop the hammer in its place right before kicking his forager directly in the stomach, sending him flying back into a red dome, the Conflagration Zone. What was left was his swords that were immediately destroyed by Naruto before he chargers after his father, also entering the said zone to find burning buildings everywhere. Looking around, he didn't see anything until he heard something and turns to find the explosion sword throwing right at him that he hits yet the moment he did, his vision was blocked by an explosion, followed by receiving a hit from an Air cannon that sent him through many buildings yet for some reason he was sent out of the dome. Watching this was his father whose left arm was extended and was picking up the blade.

"The Shibuki, also known as the Blastsword. It's an annoying blade, it's powerful but it takes a while to place more tags on it and reset the weapon." Once that was said, he lifts his left arm again to see his son charging right at him and goes to unleash another air cannon yet this time the very attack was met with a single swing of his left arm. The contact of the two wind strikes caused the roof of the dome they were inside too explode everywhere. Giving them more light, all the while the Lightning King Hero, Raijin was charging for his father again who unravels a large length of the explosive tag roll from his Shibuki, sending it towards Naruto in a circular motion yet he just looks around as it quickly surrendered him despite the speed he was moving at and quickly stops which it does the same, tracking him movements before they all explode, engulfing him in a wide-spread explosion. Seeing this, All For One just smiles but that was until a large lightning blade had burst from the flames and smoke to slash him across the chest, causing him to jump backs where he watched Naruto walk out with minimum injuries that were already healing with the weapon engulfed in lightning. Seeing this, All For One understood. He was using All Might's Quirk too strengthen his body outrageously, focusing his Demon side's regeneration to heal his wounds, and finally using all the lightning he had in his blade to reliever devastating strikes that were too fast and too high in lightning for him to absorb. A triple combo of three powers that makes him even more dangerous. Immediately he came back to reality as his train of thought had been silenced by the punch his son delivers that sent him flying out of the zone and into the second dome, the Downpour Zone. With him being sent flying, he had lost his grip on his second blade that was immediately destroyed by Naruto who jumps into the next zone where he finds himself in an urban environment that is constantly hit by heavy rainfall and strong winds. By entering the area, he was consumed by massive amounts of lightning that had increased from the rain pouring onto him. Behind him was his father who had the twin blades, Kiba pointed at him but as expected they dispersed the moment his body gave off a multicolored Lightning. Seeing this, his father now wondered since he's known his sons Lightning changes color for some reason, it was once yellow, then blue once he got stronger black when he used beast mode and red for a different technique yet it was currently multicolored Lightning, as if he was in complete balance now with himself. It was completely obvious as of right now, he was using the strongest form of his lightning and with it a monstrous body. All For One could only wonder how much stronger is he compared to the Basara, but most of all Tenma. If he were too fight the strongest Exorcist in that state, he can't tell who exactly would win. Naruto just turns to face his father before getting behind him in an instant, swinging his large blade into All For One who blocks with his twin blades yet that single strike was too powerful and it sends him through multiple buildings with his now broken blades, by the time he reached the dome he was rammed into by the charging Naruto who swung full force to send him even faster through the dome, simply skipping on the ground in the open up until he lends in the flood zone, more precisely into the ship that starts to sink the moment they connected. As it was sinking, the villain starts getting up and saw Naruto sliding down the water slide with his sword in his mouth while holding his bow with three multicolored arrows drawn back all the way. Seeing them, it could be felt how much lightning and spell power were placed within them and not a moment later he let loose the Indra arrows directly at his father who just stood there, right before being hit by the three arrows that caused a massive sphere like explosion of multicolored Lightning that consumes the flood zone completely before expanding outwards. What was seen by the whole world was a lightning explosion taking place from the dome, with it exploding outwards, the very dome collapsing to reveal the large amount of damage inside it. Only smoke and lightning could be seen yet slowly it started too clear. What could finally be seen was Naruto standing in the center, yet he was breathing hard with his body shaking badly. He was staring at his father who lay on the ground, twenty feet away from him, badly burnt from the most recent attack. Seeing this, Naruto's body gave way and he fell to one knee with his bow disappearing and his weapon falling out of his mouth.

"Did I, w—" His train of thought was silenced as he heard helicopters and turn to see a few in the sky, showing what was happening live but it also showed what happened next.

"Ow..." Hearing that sound, Naruto turns fast to see his father slowly standing up, wearing rags of his clothing as well as his body being badly burnt but it was already regenerating fast. His black helmet was also destroyed too reveal his disfigured face.

"It seems you've reached your limit." Hearing that, Naruto just grits his teeth at his heavy his body felt as well as his body slowly returning to normal. Watching his father approach, him, his thoughts began shifting over to his classmates. Not just his sister but his friends, Genos, Fubuki, Jason, Sonic, Eijirou, Tenya, Ochako, Kyouka, Denki Tsuyu, Katsuki, Izuku, Shouto, Yuuga, Mina, Mineta, Mezou, and Momo. Thinking about what he did to her, caused him to feel great discomfort and sadness yet he merely closed his eyes, despite his body still returning to its normal state.

"I know for certain that Tenya didn't save Naruko by himself as well as that Genos and the others are too hurt. Seeing that these guys were here tells me that another group was sent after my sister. Even after all I did, they saved her...even after putting Momo in such a condition and kidnapping my classmates, they came to save them as well as went to save my sister. I gave up on being saved but they didn't give up on saving me." As he thought that, he felt it...the urge for redemption. That urge grew and grew even more to the point he was willing to do anything for his redemption. While this was happening, a fully healed All For One was standing in front of his son. Having lost his talismans during the fight, he had only his Quirks. He merely stares down at his son, all the while the Hero still hears cheering from everyone. His father raises his right hand directly at Naruto which it expands.

"NOW MEET YOUR END!" All For One shouted as he unleashed a point-black range attack on Naruto, creating a massive shockwave and dust cloud for all to see on the screens, their eyes filled with horror but that ends when everyone, including All For One witnessed a shadow in the dust cloud that was in front of him.

"I now seek not only redemption for what I've done, but also justice. Because of you and of my own weakness, my sister was hurt and placed in a coma. With that she was easily used as a hostage to which I in turn aimed to kill my very own classmate who was placed in critical condition. For all I've done, I have absolutely no future of being an actual Pro Hero, nor do I have the right to face Momo...you see, she is a truly kind girl that I ended up hurting like a monster, just like my very own sister. No matter what happens after this, I cannot face her because I'm not worthy of receiving her words, whether it be hatred or forgiveness...not until I in turn become someone who can forgive himself. Yet even after all I've done, one thing about me has never changed...I can't stop this unshakable urge of wanting to save people. Right now, I seek only redemption in the eyes of others, and for me to do that...all I need to do to begin that long journey of redemption, is by defeating you, no matter the costs." As he said it, All For One froze to find Naruto standing in front of him, back in his normal looking form yet he doesn't even have a single scratch on him. While this was happening, All Might was being carried by Izuku pears the nearest hospital, all the while watching the large screens in the buildings show the fight. Seeing that Naruto was unharmed by All For One's most recent attack, he knew what was happening.

"He knows what will happen if he goes higher but he's still going to do it." When All Might Muttered that, Izuku just looks at him in confusion.

"What do you mean, All Might?" Izuku asked the Number One Hero who was staring at the large screen before looking back down at Izuku who was given him chances as he ran.

"It's simple, up until now, even during my prime I could never truly use the full power of One For All, but more precisely 70% of it, yet Naruto is far different. His body is far stronger then my own so he can handle it to a greater extent yet...the drawback and effects of going to "that" level will be truly severe due to him only now having integrated it into his body as well as his body not yet used to it. Yet, even so...by going to that level." As he said it, back in the fight the Lightning King's body started to change yet again. Slowly, he started getting muscular again but not as much, instead he started to have glowing vein-like lines appear on his body as they cross through each other, his hair got even more spiky with it turning from blood-red too complete Snow White. While this went on, multicolored electricity started sparking all throughout his body. Beneath his feet, the ground transformed into a crater where he stood, tall. With this new transformation, he started to have slashes appear on his body with blood spurting out, due too his very own body reaching its absolute limits. Not only that but from his ears, nose, and mouth came blood.

"Now father, lets end this..." As he said it, he raises his right arm that was consumed by multicolored Lightning that was soon enough pulled back all the while the skin on said arm was being burnt away, seeing this the Villain did the same yet his right arm starts to transform.

"I have been just using these Quirks in order to wear down All Might, nothing lethal. But for you, I'll make sure to kill you. I have crafted this combination of the strongest, most suitable Quirks. I will strike you down." Once said, what was revealed was a gigantic arm that had all of his strongest Quirks inside it. Immediately he pulled his gigantic arm back and not a moment later the two-swung full force. The moment they connected a massive shockwave like explosion erupted but during that, All For One felt completely confident.

"Impact Reversal, all the power you released will turn back and—" He was silenced by something changing as the Lightning he was absorbing kept on increasing, not only that but the strength in that arm was getting higher and higher. Seeing and feeling this, All For One was in shock as he started getting pushed back.

"WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON, HIS POWER WON'T STOP INCREASING?!" As he thought that, his arm starts to break even with his regeneration and his absorption, the unreal power being released was increasing far beyond even his own limits of stopping it.

[ONE FOR ALL, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%...]

"Lightning God's..." As he said it, his first begins ripping through his father's arm like an unstoppable drill.

"Raijin...!" As he shouted that, the arm finishes ripping through his own arm before slams directly into his abdomen, piercing it as his father vomits out blood.

[ONE FOR ALL, 100%]

"SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!" With that very scream filled with pride and anger, he sends his father flying towards the heavens at Mach 20 all the while consumed by multicolored Lightning and screaming in utter pain. Seeing this, no one could say a word as Naruto's right fist was pointed towards the sky, moments later, All For One lands behind him, the moment of impact had create a massive crater that sent debris everywhere and where he lay unconscious, even if he were conscious, he couldn't do anything or move an inch from his body covered in many burns as well as the massive damage he received. Once that finally finished, no sooner than a second later, the electricity and glowing veins all disappeared with his body returning to normal but not before his entire body erupted with slash's as blood spewed from them, covering himself completely in blood while releasing a lot of steam yet he still raised his shaking fist. Watching this scene was the entire world who watched this scene in utter shock and joy. Tears could be seen on many faces of the citizens who had witnessed how Naruto had won, even while he was bleeding massively he still stood strong.

[The Villain's leader...isn't moving! It's a Victory for, Nar-I mean Raijin! Despite how badly he's hurt, he's still standing, victoriously!]

Spoke a female news reporter who was completely amazed at the fight, not only her but the Exorcist Union on a certain was witnessing this tremendous act of Heroism, despite how he now looked. While this went on, a tearful Izuku had stopped near the hospital with All Might watching with a smile. Slowly, Naruto started falling forwards before he was grabbed by someone, his gaze slowly shifting over to the one who caught him to find it was his teacher, Shouta who was staring at him.

"You can rest now; your sister has already been secured by the Hero's." Hearing that, a sigh could be heard from his mouth before his body goes limp, losing consciousness. No more than five minutes later, Naruto was rushed towards the hospital.
