CHAPTER-7
It's been a long time since society became familiar with the term 'Quirk'. World was at a turning point as it faced various problems that came with this new ability called quirk. Those problems range from rise of misused quirk, rise of criminal activities, declining life expectancy, environmental hazard and declining sense of Nationalism as public belief in government keeps on decreasing. Most of all Japan was just full of decline. It was a dark time for World.
In order to rebuild these efforts from ground up, people began to take matters into their own hands, Thus heroes were born, It started with one person good-will but it continued to spread like wildfire in that dark time, seeing their effort government had begun to emphasize their work on safe society development.
Through those efforts, high schools where they teach to become defenders of justice were born, And among those schools there stood a main foundation to hero society.
U.A High school, Known throughout the world as a school that produces top-class heroes. Students there are considered best of the best.
It attracts a wide variety of students from all over the country and to train world-class children in order to lead the future. The biggest selling point of this school would be that it produces the top hero of the country, All might. The icon of peace that brought change to this world.
Even so, the lessons and training conducted there to make the top hero are laughably low. Students of the same age struggle with problems that we can't just stifle a yawn at. It felt like an amusing illusion of kids playing hero.
It's hard to imagine how a school like that produced monsters like All might, endeavor and blue jeanist.
And just like a private institute was established with aim to surpass heroes of previous generation, unlike U.A who have only produced handful of powerful people every few years, it's aim was to produced at least one powerful person each year, that will lead the society in this modern age.
But….without wasting time on these meaningless things, I thought of that 10 year old kid that sent shivers down my spine. Kid? That word doesn't begin to describe him properly. It's safe to call him monster as well. A monster of our own. A monster that was produced from our educational institute .I can vividly remember the first time I heard that name, I was a teenager of 13 and he was a kid of 5, the youngest recruit they called him, He was that skinny kid, of course being the youngest kid to ever enter that facility was achievement in itself.
Since he was known as the youngest recruit, he became a rather hot topic of that time because 13 was the age limit for everyone.
I first thought he would be just another one of those failures so I ignored him, But soon he became an existence that just simply can't be ignored anymore. Not a single person from that place wouldn't know of that name, why?
Because he was better than everyone else, not even a madman would cross path with that youngest recruit, Uzumaki Naruto.
As a result he became the perfect example of being best at everything. Out of everyone in that institute he was the only one who had such an impact.
He was set to be an example for new educational policy. A perfect human being. A symbol like All might, but different and better some would say.
No wonder because of him, we those of the above generation were seen as failures. We, who were once considered best, were reduced to called failures. That kid always did best in even the harshest of curriculum and it stays true even now. The bar he set for those of generation below him still remains unachievable even for those generations above him.
A genius born one in a billion, he continues to prove he is a prodigy above everyone.
We also had been above top pro heroes, and among us I was the best student, a genius, constantly producing best results among everyone else.
However I was still compared to being below him, a genius adult reduced to being a comparison meter for a 10 year old kid. No matter what I did, how hard I tried, I couldn't begin to compare.
"Not as good as him" Those words engraved deep into my psyche to this day.
It was like chasing after a ghost of everyone's imagination that can never be reached.
I was ready to believe in god but not him, he was just an illusion to me.
He was like a myth, I firmly used to believe he was just a fragment of everyone's imagination of an ideal being. but then confirmed the existence of Uzumaki Naruto through our own eyes, the result he showed us was beyond anything we could have imagined, the look on his eyes that day still sent shivers down my spine, even after all these years.
His education was different from us, no one knows how he was trained to become such an existence.
While my peers looked at him with admiration and fear, I didn't! I didn't want to admire him. It was a different kind of feeling I felt when I saw him.
I hate to admit but my reason to improve myself was only because of that feeling, that feeling of 'Hatred' I felt for him.
The reason for my existence being called into question! The reason why I've been told for a long time that I'm not good enough! That blood, sweat and hard work didn't mean anything in front of that Incarnation of victory.
However that was just my personal feeling, it wasn't like I was about to reciprocate that feeling.
Soon my education ended as I crossed 18 years of my life, I gave up chasing after him, it was humiliating admitting defeat to 10 year old kid, but I thought he was a existence unlike any other, so content myself to graduate and serve my purpose as a model student of that institute by being an important part of society. While he takes over that place.
I was proud to advance from that place, reason? Because only a handful of people are capable of graduating from that 'place'.
But something big happened four years ago, while I was away serving society, That 'kid' defected from that institute and left a ruin in his wake. Thus, a really important project that depended on his genius existence was terminated.
And our reason to exist was lost to us.
All because of his egoistic desire!
That place's whole existence was to produce extraordinary people that will serve society without any self-seeking desire. One that will ensure safety and prosperity of our country.
Yet, the student that was praised to the best of best, the one who was supposed to succeed that 'project' was the one who brought that place to ruin, all because of that selfish desire of his.
It was like spitting in the face of everyone that graduated from that place.
It really hurts, when you are capable but you are told your entire life you are nothing compared to someone else.
But it hurts more when your whole reason to exist is wiped out because of someone's selfish desire.
But the place is rebuilding, and this time there won't be an Uzumaki Naruto around to interfere again.
That place's entire purpose is to produce extraordinary people with selfless purpose, we are meant to serve without any greed and egotistical interest.
That's why, if Uzumaki Naruto is selected as the ideal Model of success, then the whole purpose of our existence will be lost.
The director will surely go after him, to take him back home, but we can't let that happen…no I won't let that happen! Uzumaki Naruto is not invincible…. I must prove that to everyone. I must make them acknowledge that he is not a true epitome of success.
Knock, Knock
"Enter!" I said as I shook my head to clear away all the thought.
The door to my room opened as a man walked upto to my desk.
"Sir!" Saying that he stood in attention.
"Did you find out anything of importance about what I asked of you?"
"It's as the report says, Uzumaki Naruto is attending U.A High, under the name of Mizutani Naruto, from the looks of things he hasn't changed his first name" said the man slid a file towards my desk.
I opened the file and in front of me was a picture of young teenager with blonde hair and blue eyes, along with other useless information that U.A knows about him, looks like he's been hiding his real ability from everyone at U.A
His features were sharper than that kid I saw all those years ago…I can never forget the face from my mind. I cannot mistake that look in his eyes for anyone else.
"Thank you, you can go now"
"Um…Sir if I may….?" Man in front of me looked kind of curious.
"What is it?"
"Why are you so interested in a Kid from U.A?" He asked.
I look up from my desk to my junior face, a man barely younger than me, he was just year shorter, he wasn't the best at anything nor was he that strong to warrant any attention and he is not even most reliable person either, but I acknowledge him and his will to do good for public, he has what that devil-kid don't. A heart of gold and determination one needed to succeed in life.
For me he is more of a man than Uzumaki Naruto ever will.
It would be better to just send him away, but it might cause hassle if rumors start to spread about this.
"That kid is an old acquaintance of mine," I answered with a short reply.
"Acquaintance? Are you interested in him? Do you mean to offer him an internship at our place, sir?" Man looked surprised, it was a well known fact that I don't usually take children to work under me.
"Something along those lines, now go or you will be late for your patrol"
I sent the man away, who bowed and left without.
I tightly clutch the picture of that devil-kid.
I don't know why he chose to show his face after all these years, but I cannot let go of this once-in-lifetime-opportunity no matter what. Even if I had to throw away my common sense, It doesn't matter. Uzumaki Naruto must never return to that place.
Even if it kills me, I will have to make sure Uzumaki Naruto will be defeated at the end of the day. No matter how bloody it may get!
If I can't then do it alone, then that's fine too. I will use every ounce of resource in my power to destroy him. Even if it meant signing a contract with the devil himself.
Killing him is also an option!

"Naruto-Chan get ready or you will be late for your school"
A voice resonated through the house, it belonged to Yui-oba-san.
"Yeah coming!" Naruto called back as he put the textbooks in his bag.
Today he spent more time getting ready, than usual. Usually he would always be on time, but today it was different.
After fixing tie around his neck Naruto checks for time, he still has some time left before the school.
Ding.
Naruto's mobile phone rang, indicating he received a message. Picking up phone he walked out of his room.
Just as he was about to open his phone another 'ding' came from his phone, followed by several 'ding'.
Naruto sat down on the dining table for breakfast, he opened his phone to see a bunch of messages in his notification feed.
And all of them were from Yui. This is the first time she actually messaged him so much.
It seems she was excited about the new books that came this week to the school library. And some messages were her asking him to return the book he lent from her.
He really forgot about that didn't he?
While he was happy to chat with his 'friend' on phone, he was struck in a big dilemma
Would it be better to reply with just a simple 'okay I will' Or would it be better to reply with long sentences while also responding to news of new books coming to the library? Maybe he should send short messages several times?
Normally he wouldn't worry about chatting, but the number of messages she sent him was large, it just wouldn't feel right replying with one or two short messages.
"Naruto-chan food is getting cold, you can play with your phone later" While he was busy in his dilemma of how to respond to messages, he received scolding from his adopted grandmother.
He was the only one on the table that still hasn't touched his food, His adopted older brother and sister almost finished their breakfast. While His adopted grandfather was reading a newspaper. They cast him one look before going back to do whatever they were doing.
But still the message has been marked as read, if he doesn't respond after reading the message his only friend might get upset with me.
He quickly began to write some messages with one hand while eating breakfast with the other. It would be polite to at least respond to her message.
"What the hell so damn important that you're still on your phone?! Eat your vegetables!" His adopted grandfather frowned heavily. It seems like his meddling with the phone somehow drew the irritation of Mizutani-san "Youngster these days, always on their damned phone glued to that screen, no respect for food or their elders, those things eat whatever little is left of your brain" He grumbled under his breath.
Phone is like every elder populace sworn enemy, while it is true that a phone is a convenient device to have, but it's also rather nasty thing, modern smartphones influence the mind of youngsters to a rather extreme degree if they are not careful while handling the phone.
While Mizutani-san was saying that to him, those words were directed towards someone else.
Naruto sighed alongside Akito, his adopted older brother, as both can guess who the target of that snide remark was. Looks like another banter is going to start up.
"Hold up! Why do I feel like those words were directed at me, Jiji?" An irritated voice came from his right as the sound of chopsticks slamming on the table could be heard, it was Kei, his adopted older sister, also the social butterfly of their house.
It was no secret to anyone that Kei always glued herself to smartphone, whenever she was not busy.
"Hmm I wonder why you would feel like that? You shouldn't feel like that if you haven't done anything to feel like that, right?" Tsundere-grandpa gave another snide remark.
"Oh? Is that right? So, this is how you wanna play Jiji!"
As their conversation heated up, Naruto muted both of their voices in his head and again started to fiddle with his phone.
This was just a daily occurrence in this house, so he is used to it. Rather he was glad to be out of any heated conversation.
"Who are you chatting with?" Akito asked when he saw Naruto being indifferent to the fight and continued to give his attention to his smartphone.
"A friend from school" He replied.
He continued to type before he suddenly stopped, as everything went quiet all of sudden, even kei and Mizutani-san stopped arguing with each other. To see the cause of sudden silence he looked up from his phone to see everyone was staring at him with surprise etched on their face.
Except for dog who lay there without giving a damn about anything.
"…"
"…..What?" He asked as their looks unnerved him.
"Y-You have a f-friend?" a question came from his way.
His eyes roamed from the figure of his obaa-san to everyone else in the room, surprise was etched on their face as if they couldn't believe what they just heard.
"Uh-huh" He slowly nods his head to confirm their question.
'What's with the reaction?' he thought in bewilderment.
Just as he said that, his obaa-san burst into tears "O-Oh my….T-Tissue…someone hurry give me tissue" she buried her crying face in the kitchen napkin.
While Tsundere-grandpa gaped like a fish in a shock as if he said something really absurd.
Seriously what's with that reaction?
"Give me that!" a hand suddenly reached for his phone, but before his phone could be snatched from him, he quickly moved his hand back in pure reflex.
"No"
Kei blinked in surprise as she saw him moving his hand at an unnatural speed at the last moment, "That was fast! Why are you hiding your phone?…..Is it a girl? Is she your girlfriend" a sly smile formed on her face.
"Because it is my privacy you are intruding on, beside why would you assume it's from a girl?" He felt exasperated at the look she was sending him.
"Huh? I mean guys usually hate you, don't they? So obviously it's a girl! Or are you telling me you are capable of making a guy friend?"
"…"
Naruto eyebrow twitched a little, he didn't really have a comeback for that. While what she said was true but the way she said it really annoyed him.
He felt attacked! That actually hurt a little!
Without saying a word he began to wolf down his breakfast, all the while ignoring everyone around the table.
"See! I am right, aren't i?" She gave him a teasing grin which he promptly ignored.
"Kei, don't antagonize him, even if this first friend of his happened to be a girl" Akito spoke between eating but his lips were curled up in amusement. He was clearly enjoying it. The rascal!
"W-well n-not like this makes me h-happy or anything but y-you better n-not let go this friend." Tsundere grandpa scowled at him all the while trying to hide a smile.
"I-i…O-oh After so many y-years f-finally he- he has a f-friend….Thank you K-Kami-sama, T-thank you so much" Obaa-chan began to pray to deity above with face full of fat tears, like she just witness some sort miracle just happened in front of her.
He decided he had enough for breakfast, he wasn't hungry anymore, he picked up his bag and left without saying a word all the while ignoring giggling and chuckling coming from the kitchen.
There's nothing abnormal about him having a 'friend'
XXXXXXXXXXXX
After breakfast and little banter, he left the house for school as he was walking and somebody called him out from behind.
"Good morning!"
It was Shoto Todoroki, another socially stunned guy from his class, a loner much like himself.
It was just a formal greeting from classmate to classmate, so he replied back.
"Good morning"
Silence fell between them, both don't know how nor care to further initiate their conversation as they were almost to their school, they walk side by side without saying another word.
Naruto glanced towards Todoroki from the corner of his eye, honestly he didn't expect Todoroki to walk to school, considering he is son of number two hero. He was expecting him to be coming to school in some fancy car or something, like their other recommended student, Yaoyouruzu Momo, who usually comes in some fancy car.
They were almost to the entrance gate of their school when they paused on the feet.
"..Is that press?" Todoroki questioned when his eyes landed on the crowd of gossip hungry journalists, cornering almost every student that passed through the entrance of school.
"Looks like it," he replied.
"Something related to All-might?"
"Who knows?"
Naruto's best guess was the same, that they came due to No. 1 hero's decision to teach new generation heroes. It is all over the news nowadays so it wouldn't be surprising if that were the case.
The news that All might have been hired as a teacher at U.A. surprised everyone and the media went mad for the story behind his reason.
Honestly, while he actually wanted to meet the most powerful man in the world, he didn't want him to teach at U.A.
Being such a big celebrity brings it's fair share of attention and trouble along with it and in more than one ways.
He will attract unwanted attention of not just media and public but anyone else who held grudge against him, and that grudge will mostly be directed towards U.A
But he can think about that stuff later, right now he has to deal with the nuisance in front of him.
And if he had to guess then he can safely say that, this commotion will continue for some days until the heat of this news is down, meaning he will have to face this for some days.
What a pain!
"I think we'd better avoid them" Saying that Todoroki turned towards Naruto only to see empty space where he was standing just a second ago.
Todoroki blinked in surprise at the no sign of the blonde loner "he's gone?" He murmured to himself.
Cranking his head, he headed towards the press that was hoarding the front entrance of school.
He sighs in annoyance, he'd better sneak in while the media hound someone else.
What a pain!
Unknowingly he mirrored the same thought as the blonde loner.
XXXXXXXXXXX
Class was buzzing with excited chatter, some of them were pretty excited giving dialogue about All-might to press as this is their first time having a chance to appear on television, while some were annoyed at the press, mostly the people who keep to themselves.
Slide
"All right everyone take your seats" a lazy voice called out as the door to their classroom slide opened.
As usual Aizawa-sensei looked like he would doze off any second while standing still. Not wanting to make his wait everyone immediately stopped talking and went back to their seat.
Aizawa lazily looked over his students before he began to address them "Good work on combat training yesterday. I saw the result and video of your class performance. before we begin, Todoroki, you are blessed with really good quirk and brain but don't let that get to your head" As if expecting that Todoroki nods his head a little "As long as you understand where you are wrong then that's fine"
Aizawa turn his attention towards the problem children of class "Bakugo, you're talented, so don't act like brat"
Bakugo replied with a simple "I know"
Naruto glanced towards Bakugo, it's hard to imagine he was crying yesterday judging from the frown on his face. As expected of Bakugo, he may be the biggest jerk around but he can pull himself on his feet pretty quickly. That is also one of Bakugo's plus points.
"And Midoriya. You settled by breaking your arm again, huh? You can't keep saying you can't help it because you can't control your quirk. I don't like saying the same thing over and over. As long as you fix the control issue, there's a lot you'll be able to do. Feel a sense of urgency, Midoriya" Just like Aizawa addressed the students he felt needed to be addressed for their mistake.
"Now then, let's get down to classroom business. Sorry about the late notice but today, I'll have you….decided on class representative" Aizawa pause for a sec as if creating suspension.
Everyone took a sigh of relief when they heard that they were expecting some sort of surprise test but instead it was normal classroom activity. Of course they are happy about it.
Just as Aizawa said that everyone began to raise their hand in enthusiasm.
"I want to be class rep! Pick me!"
"Me too!
"I want to do it too!"
"It's a job made for m-"
"I'll be the class leader!"
"Me! Me, I want to be class leader, my main manifesto for girls' skirts is to be above 30 centimeters above the knees!"
"Let me do it! Me!"
In normal school, the role of class leader is the most troublesome one, they take on daily chores of class and have to take extra time off their schedule, but in hero course it's different since it's a role that allows a hero to practice leading a group.
Sort of like how heroes take on sidekicks as their supporters and they help them by leading them from the front like true leaders should.
Naruto lips quirked in amusement when his eyes landed on the figure of Aizawa, he looked like he would doze any second now without care about ruckus going on in the class.
"Silence, please!" Iida suddenly yelled and stopped the chattering class, everyone's attention was focused on Iida "Class representative is a job with serious responsibility of leading others. It is not a job for anyone who wants to do it. It is a calling of those around you. If we want to use democracy to decide on a true leader, then we should hold an election to choose one" Iida put up a good suggestion.
But the main drawback of holding elections for classmates would be that no one really knows each other, so the trust they have in each other is very minimum at best. In such a short time it's hard for everyone to gouge each other's strength and whatnot.
It would have sounded an effective idea too if Iida hasn't been raising his own hand while saying that.
That just made him look desperate!
It was plain for him to see everyone here wants to be class representative, well everyone except for him since he doesn't want to be troubled with bothersome tasks.
"If that's the case wouldn't everyone just vote for themselves…wouldn't that be useless?" Kirishima asked.
"That's precisely why whomever receives multiples votes can be considered the most suitable to be our class representative"
While what he was saying was true, there's still a flaw in that way of thinking.
" What do you think, sensei?" Iida asked Aiwaza who actually put on his sleeping bed to catch some sleep.
He sure is one weird teacher!
"I don't care as long you decied before homeroom is over" saying that he lay down on floor and went back to sleep.
It was decided that votes will be held by each one anonymous votes from everyone in the class.
He had already decided on whom he would cast his vote on.
Writing down the name on a little piece of paper he put it down on a box.
[20 minutes later]
Class representatives were decided after counting every vote. Name by most votes were as follows:
Yaoyorozu-3
Midoriya-3
He decided to cast his vote to Yaoyorozou, she has a good head on her shoulders, she looks like she is used to these types of tasks too as the excuse he'd gone with if someone asked him.
But honestly he just didn't care and just voted for someone with the best chance to win.
But he never expected Midoriya to be getting the same amount of votes as well.
He can guess who most probably voted for him, but it's not like he knows everything.
Either way he didn't really care one bit about the outcome.
Even Midoriya was more shocked with the results than Bakugo, so that must be a surprise for him as well.
Naruto's eyes landed on his name, as expected he got zero votes, since almost everyone voted for themselves and those who don't want to be class rep, voted who they thought to be the smartest person in the class. Momo Yaoyorozu.
Well one good thing might come out of it and that is, it might help Midoriya with his self-esteem issue.
Midoriya is a single-minded and determined person so bearing responsibility of class as class rep will help him grow in more than one way.
One can only hope that it impacts Midoriya in a positive way.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Cafeteria was full that day as usual, students from every department came and joins the room.
Naruto picked up his food tray and looked for any open space where he could eat peacefully away from a group of people, usually he wouldn't mind blending in a crowd like that but today he just didn't feel like eating in chatter, every once in a while he just wants to eat in silence.
It's a lot to ask for since the cafeteria is always full of jabbering and noise.
He looked towards the corner side of the cafeteria where one bench was almost empty except for one lone student.
Contrary to popular belief, the corner end of the cafeteria is usually always filled, since it allows people to talk freely without much noise disturbance.
Picking up his tray he made his way to an empty bench, putting down his tray on the bench he sat down.
The lone occupant of the bench looked his way with raised eyebrows before he quickly looked away, which he promptly ignored and began to eat in peace.
He usually sits alone in the cafeteria, not that he minds since he is used to being alone.
There has been growing distance between him and Midoriya, since he found out about Midoriya's new quirk, it is not that they avoid each other, it's just circumstances and guilt on Midoriya's part that lead them being distant from each other. Plus Midoriya seems to have made rather good friends with Iida and Ochako. So that's also one of the contributing factors.
As for Kodai, He still hasn't given her book back, so he's planning to do that in the free period after present mic class. Even though he had met her in the cafeteria a few times before, they don't really bother making conversation there.
It's not like he doesn't want to, it's just they both are introverts that rather kept to themselves even during meal time and talk during their free period alone in the library, he doesn't really hate moments like that.
Things like that, make moments even more precious and make you look forward to that event. It has a special kind of charm in a way.
As he was eating his meal, he noticed the other occupant of the table was keeping glancing his way from time to time, before he went back to eating.
That kind of made him curious as to why he kept doing that, but he didn't bother bringing it up. If that guy wants to say something to him he better initiate the conversation.
"Is this seat free- Ah! You're that guy from that café aren't you?"
As he was in the middle of eating, he was interrupted by a familiar voice beside him.
Naruto looked towards the source of the voice, it was Kendo, the girl he had met at his home café before school started. She was alone with a food tray on her hand.
She misunderstands him for being delinquent the other day because his of 'gang' from middle school.
Not like he holds a hostile feeling for those guys, he knows that they didn't mean that…well even if they do mess up with him intentionally, not like he can change what happened that, so no point in holding a grudge over it. Beside there will be opportunities where he can clear up that misunderstanding with her in future.
"Naruto"
"What?" Kendo blinked with confusion.
"My Name, it's Naruto" He reminded her again, he didn't want to be called 'that guy' everytime she ran into him.
"Sorry I kind of forgot" She said that but she did not look sorry at all.
He was disappointed, he was kind of expecting her to remember his name, he knew he's asking for a lot, since they only met for about a minute and he left a bad impression on her, but still one can still hold hope that a girl as cute as her would remember your name.
"Well looks like I forgot to ask last time but what course are you on?" She asked.
"Hero course, class 1-a! And what about you? What course are you on?" he returned the question. He already knew that she was in the hero course since he was the top scorer of exam center D where he was placed but still he asked that.
"Same, hero course, class 1-b" she confirmed his theory.
Naruto noticed the guy in front of them looking at them when they mentioned their course. But decided to ignore it.
"Looks like we are both in the same course" He stated the obvious since he didn't know what to say to keep the conversation going. He was painfully obvious that he was showing his poor social skill in front of her, or maybe he is thinking too much.
At times like these, he really envies those with good social skill.
"Yeah, looks like it" she replied all the same as she took the seat "Anyway you and your friends aren't causing trouble for anyone again, are you?"
There it was! The topic he was expecting but wanted to avoid. Since she brought it up he can't just ignore even though he wanted to, because there's a chance that it will become some sort of nasty rumor, even though the chance of happening is low, he doesn't want to risk it.
"Those guys are not my friends, we used to go to the same middle school that's it" He spoke.
"You said that last time as well but your friends called you their boss, did they not? Do you even consider them your friends? Are you telling me you only see them your lackey or something?" Kendo narrowed her eyes, she don't really have a problem if he's a delinquent or not as long as he don't cause trouble for anyone, but the way he keep denying being friends with them really bothered her, she could tell when she met them, those boys really admire Naruto, someone they look upto, but here he was, the figure of admiration who keep rejecting those claim.
She has a strong sense of justice and above all she values friendship more than anything. So his attitude towards his friends really irritates her.
"No? I am telling the truth, we were just classmates, that's all" it hasn't even been a minute since he talked with her and he already started to feel exasperated.
He just wanted to go back to eating peacefully again. He is hungry, he hasn't even had his breakfast properly.
Kendo still didn't look satisfied with his answer and looked ready to argue but before she could finish her sentence, the alarm system of U.A went off loudly.
Ring *Ring *Ring
"There has been a level three security breach. All students please evacuate outdoors promptly. I repeat…."
The unexpected alarm surprised everyone in the cafeteria, Students began to panic, since it has never happened before. It's Natural reaction to something alarming to them.
"What is level 3 security breach?" Kendo raised her eyebrow in confusion. Naruto was equally interested in the answer.
"Someone is trespassing on school grounds, this has never happened in the three years I've been here" The guy sitting opposite Naruto spoke "It means everyone should hurry up and evacuate" He looked rather bored as he said that…..or maybe just timid?
Naruto could tell that guy had a meek kind of personality.
Kendo immediately alerted herself hearing those words and began to run towards the hallway, but stopped midway and turned towards them "What are you guys waiting for? Let's go!" She urged them to follow her.
Naruto looked at kendo, then to his food, he still hasn't eaten his lunch and he is still hungry since he didn't even have proper breakfast today, he should have focused on eating rather than arguing with kendo, he was kind of regretting it now, but no worth crying over spilled milk "Hallway is going to be crowded, we are only going to hurt ourselves in frightened crowd, I think it's better to wait for things to cool down, plus they are also not panicking" Naruto pointed towards the guys who was sitting opposite to him, and some seniors who just like that guy weren't freaking out like rest of them. They are probably third year hero course students.
Kendo eyes traveled from him to the guy sitting opposite him, then she looked around the room to see some students remain in their seats, they looked rather composed as if they weren't affected by breaching of security, almost like they were expecting to fight a villain in moment's notice. They looked prepared to act at given notice.
If someone is attacking U.A right now, then running in hallway would be most unsafe place in whole school, students are going to be crushed in frightened crowd and won't be able to act if someone do attack, whereas cafeteria has open space and it will provide them free mobility to move around should it become necessary.
Plus running around outside will actually make them a better target to whoever is attacking them, it's best to hide inside the building and wait for heroes to come help them.
But the chance of someone attacking U.A right now is almost non-existence.
Because it would be foolish to attack U.A main building in broad daylight, plus U.A has some of the best heroes as teachers, not counting the students with various powerful quirks.
Even that group isn't stupid to attack U.A directly. So he quickly dismissed the idea of attack happening to their school. Or atleast the main building of U.A.
Besides he isn't feeling anything unusual, if he was in danger he would have already noticed it by now.
Naruto looked at his meal, he had rice and miso soup, with egg and dried fish. It would be a waste of food to throw it all away, but if someone is really attacking them, then they will have to evacuate the whole building and it will all go to waste.
He wondered how it would taste if he poured miso soup in rice, it would save time eating it separately. It shouldn't taste that bad since it's only a combination of rice and soup?
Well he won't know how it will taste until he tries some for himself.
Picking up his miso soup bowl he poured it in his rice bowl.
"What are you doing?" Kendo raised her eyebrow in confusion seeing the odd action of Naruto.
"Mixing soup with rice" Saying that he began to eat without waiting for her response.
"I can see that….but why?"
It taste….not much different than eating it individually, well that's a good thing, he grabbed a piece of fish to mix the taste.
He began to eat mixed up food all the while ignoring the girl beside who was giving him a strange look, but right now he doesn't really care about her opinion.
If it saves his eating time, then it's worth it.
"Does it taste good?" Dark haired boy asked, seeing that strange mixed up food.
"It's not as bad as I was expecting it to be. Fish, even out the little bit of sweetness of soup, plus texture of meat and sticky rice is making it easier to savor the taste" Naruto gave his honest opinion of the food.
"…I see" Dark haired boy looked at his own meal with interest, he had a different diet than Naruto, he was having katsudon with omelet. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't mix his food like him.
"You are a strange one, aren't you?" Honestly Naruto was expecting the remark from Kendo but a new voice came from behind him.
He looked from the corner of his eyes, to see an older boy looking at him with a toothy smile, he had blonde spiky hair and blue dotted eyes.
"Um…What?"
"Mirio" The dark haired boy sitting in front of them addresses the new blonde boy.
"It's unusual to see Tamaki eating and talking with someone else, ne you guys are from first year, right? What's your name?" The boy named Mirio asked him, barely content excitement.
"Uh…hello I'm Naruto from class 1-a" Naruto introduced himself as he bowed his head a little in sign of respect for seniors.
It was obvious to tell he was their senior, from the commanding body posture to his build, plus the senior seating in front of them seems to be friends with him
"Kendo itugu from class1-b" Kendo mirrored his action
"You don't need to be so formal with me, i am Mirio Togata" The big blonde guy introduced himself as Mirio Togata with a wide big smile "Ne are you friends with Tamaki?"
"Mirio did you check what's the commotion outside?" Tamaki asked Mirio with the same dull voice to avoid the question.
"Yeah I did, some press members somehow manage to bypass U.A security barrier and alarm went off, police are on their way to clear them, meanwhile teachers told me to tell everyone to calm down and return to their classes" Mirio then looked towards the hallway where students were returning back to cafeteria "But it looks like someone else managed to do that before me"
Naruto listens to the information with keen interest.
"Press managed to pass through the U.A Barrier? But how?" Kendo asked the question that was troubling him as well.
"Looks like the front gate was destroyed" Mirio answered without giving out much explanation.
"Destroyed? But it's U.A barrier we are talking, isn't that like top-notch security system?" Kendo became curious as to what could collapse that giant immovable wall.
"I'm sorry I don't know the details either but looks like everyone has to go back to their classes" Mirio pointed out towards the teacher that just entered the hallway and began to instruct everyone to go back to their classes.
"Now shoo, go back to your classes, everything is alright! Bye Bye!" He waved them with the same wide smile on his face.
Mirio was deliberately leaving out the detail of gate collapsing, mostly because he doesn't want to create unrest among students or maybe teachers asked him to not tell anyone else but something disturbing has definitely happened.
Kendo didn't ask any more questions seeing she won't be getting any, she bowed and left the cafeteria alongside Naruto who just happened to finish his meal in such a short time.
As they were leaving Kendo turned towards him with a questioning look on her face "Hey, wasn't that strange?"
"What was?" he had a guess what she meant but still asked.
"I mean…it's probably nothing….uhh just forget about it, anyway don't cause trouble for anyone here" Kendo stopped herself mid-sentence, without saying anything else she left for her classroom.
Naruto watched her go, she was apprehensive about the whole incident he could tell from her body language, but instead of passing down her baseless assumption she's keeping quiet as not to create panic among students. Not like he could blame her, anyone would be curious if they knew that famous U.A barrier destroyed out of nowhere. Plus the distraction of Media could actually provide pretty good coverage for anyone to slip inside.
It's not just kendo that realized it, those two seniors from the cafeteria also seem to realize that.
No member of press would do that, if they had a quirk powerful enough to demolish a barrier that strong, then they would be making use of it every now and then, even if they were wasting time in media being a journalist, a quirk that powerful would be too recognizable and they'd be tagged for unauthorized usage of their quirk in public. Judging from the teacher's body language, the atmosphere is far too tense for it to be a false alarm, it was something unknown to school, Nobody was harmed either, they slipped in with the crowd, it's probably an infiltrator to gather information.
That group probably have all the information about him by now, so it would be pointless and very stupid for them to infiltrate one of most recognizable school just to get him.
Given the announcement of All might being a teacher, the publicity around it and lack of these kinds of incidents in previous years, it'd probably be something related to All-might.
It might be a warning not to him, but All-might!
And he doesn't really plan to do anything about it, it's All-might's problem, he'd rather sit back and relax than to get involved with 'most' popular hero in the country.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
He was walking back home after the school main gate was prohibited for student cause of gate demolition, so they had to take go from a different gate today.
Naruto looked at the rest of the student body leaving school perimeters from different gates, rumors about demolition of the front gate spread pretty quickly among students, most of them were confused about the destruction of the front gate, but didn't bother to think too deeply about it. While some were discussing it among themselves.
Everyone had different viewpoints and theories regarding media breaking into school.
Today went by pretty quickly with the only significant event after lunch was that Midoriya being class representative nominated Iida to be class representative instead, because of his quick thinking and ability to take action in a crisis that stopped the panicking students from crushing each other in a frightened crowd. That Naruto was made aware after returning to the classroom.
Not that it mattered to him but it seems like a waste, Midoriya has a better chance of growing his self-esteem from the duties that will come along with being class representative. But it's Midoriya choice at the end.
But even so Midoriya has shown massive growth in term of mental and physical growth compared to the kid he used to be one year ago. So even without extra responsibilities he should be able to grow on his own if he keeps developing at this pace.
If he could remember correctly then it all started to happen right after he and Bakugo were saved by All-might from the sludge monster. It was all over the news, back then it became a hot topic among middle school.
Naruto looked at the new sets of books that he was carrying in his hands. He returned the book he borrowed from Yui and registered some from the library. Since his bag was full he had no choice but to carry it in arms.
He walked a short distance away from school, he was walking at a normal pace and made sure to keep his body posture usual. He walked until he was out of the crowded area and took a turn towards the lonely alley of street.
He could feel it. Someone has been following him since he left the school ground, he deliberately took a turn towards a darker and remote place, he wanted to know the intention of his pursuer before he confronted him.
This happening today right after U.A lunch break commotion concern him a little bit, wondering if he is also involved in that matter.
His senses alert him when some projectile flies towards him with incredible speed to pierce him, Naruto eyes widen for a fraction of second in recognition as the projectile passes through him.
Before it exploded in front of his face, It was a flash grenade that went off, he was blinded by the attack when he sensed something flying towards him with great speed, kicking off his feet he backstepped some step. He heard the projectile crash with a dumpster and it crashed.
Naruto while still blinded placed his hand on the nearest building's wall, before his body passed through it to the inside of the building, to give him some second's until his vision was restored.
It took more than a few seconds for his vision to fully return, he waited a second as he blinked to get back the feeling of seeing normal again, Whoever attacked him knew he could teleport , that's the main reason of blinding him, so he could stop him from using his teleportation. Plus he also seems to know about his phasing technique.
Fortunately he was in some sort of storage room with not a single person inside, he placed his school bag and books on the ground as he prepared to battle against an unknown enemy.
BOOM
The wall was blown off, another flash grenade came launching at him, before it could go off Naruto teleported the grenade directly in his hand and chunked it back where it came from. But instead of slowing down his attacker, more small projectiles came his way with incredible speed. He instantly recognized the projectile.
"What the…."
Naruto looked a bit confused as his body finally vanished from the view.
"Now where did he disappear off too" His attacker looked around himself as he put up his guard, he was flying up in the air.
Seeing he's going to make himself an easy target for Blonde brat, he descended down towards the building.
Dhum
"Shit!" Suddenly his head collided with the big dumpster that suddenly appeared in front of his face out of nowhere. That attack hit hard and he lost balance as he fell down on the roof.
He tried to quickly get up, but he was pinned down before he could move
"What are you doing…Hawks?" Naruto's body suddenly flickers beside Hawks with his hands around Hawks throat.
"So you really do have some sort of sensing quirk" Hawks gave Naruto a weak grin as he rubbed the angry red mark on his head where dumpster hit his head "By the way, I am not judging do you have some sort of fetish of holding people by their neck?!" Hawks wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.
He obviously meant about their first fight where Naruto tried to choke him with a wire.
"I won't ask again, what are you doing?" Instead of rising to his teasing, he calmly asked again.
"C'mon don't try to change the top-AHHHH" Before he could finish, his body suddenly crackled as electricity course through his body, he screamed in pain but before he could pass out Naruto stopped.
"Well? Want more?"
"W-Wait '' Hawks showed his hands in sign of surrender, his muscles were still twitching from the electricity " I w-was just checking" He spoke through grunt.
Naruto let go of his neck as he stood some distance away from him, while hawks slowly stood up to his feet safe distance away from.
"Checking what?"
"Checking if you are ready!" Just as he asked that, a smile began to spread on Hawks face, he put his hands inside his pocket to pull out his mobile phone "Just wait a second, see for yourself!" After twerking some button on his phone, he throws it towards Naruto, who catches it.
"You are a celebrity now…..at in the black market!" Hawks showed him a megawatt smile.
He wanted to savor the look on blonde face as he looked at the reason for his sudden rise in popularity.
"I have a price on my head?" Naruto blinked in curiosity.
In front of him showed a poster of his U.A Registration form photo and above his head it read, only dead with a total bounty of 1$ million. Below in description it says, approach with extreme caution. The source who put his name was anonymous meaning he can't track it back to the owner who put a price against his head.
Naruto looked at his photo and description for a few seconds, before beginning to tap on Hawks phone, he looked through his phone. He began to memorize everything that was shown on screen
"What are you doing? Aren't you surprised? Or did you know this was gonna happen?" Hawks sent him a questioning look, he was kind of expecting a bigger reaction from the emo-boy.
"Well I am surprised, I mean can't see the future, but more than that what is this website?" He meant the site in Hawk's phone " It not just me, but several high profile peoples have bounty on their heads….even you have a large amount of bounty stick to your name"
Inside the website there were photos and descriptions of several high profile peoples, including all the top heroes, even Hawks himself has a bounty of 2.4$ millions on his head with dead or alive scribble below it. With All-might topping this chart as well with a bounty of 45$ millions on his head. And it's not just people, but animals and other types of exotics as well.
And it looks like clients are provided with full anonymous security to their profile.
But more troubling than that was it has information about his quirk and fighting abilities. Well not all the information, but still it is a troubling issue.
This means he has to be on his guard 24x7 from now on.
That will be a pain in the ass!
In all honesty Naruto didn't expect something like this to be in Hawks information network. It sounds all good in fiction but it takes time to process something like this in real life.
It is to be expected to have a black market where you can sell and buy incredible things. But his name getting involved? That was honestly unexpected.
"As you can guess it is an online black market, its illegal site that is meant to stay hidden from everyone else except for few individuals exceptional folks" There was a tone of pride and arrogance lace in his voice as he explained himself.
Hawks was a rather famous hero that stays in light of society, while he does his work on the dark side of society.
"How did you know about it then?"
For a hero to be involved in these kinds of things is a big issue, the amount of information sites like these could provide you is no joke. But more than that it would be really hard to get across information networks like these not to think expensive.
"I have my own source of information you know" Hawks pocketed his phone after Naruto handed him back "So what are you gonna do now? They have all the information on you, but you still don't look surprised?" Hawks gave him a questioning look.
"I am surprised, it's just surprised response hard to show on my face" He calmly replied "By the way is this authentic or is fake, there are several heroes that have made that list, but most them have been active for a really long time"
He has to wonder what's the full scope of this site? There was a security break-in at U.A today, but no one was harmed, if they really were after him then it will be pointless to go after him during his school time. And from the looks of it even some of the old heroes have their name in that list and judging from the date of their last update, their bounty was put a long time ago, even All-might profile has been last updated about 7 years ago.
Hawks let out a long sigh as he took a seat on the rooftop, Naruto noticed he looked kind of exhausted like he was coming out of a long marathon.
"It's kind of a long story so I will cut to the chase, it's all related to the symbol of peace. Since the All-might rise to being a symbol of peace, most of the dark organization is gone, while some who remain have gone underground in hiding, even their operation has been on verge of dying. Except for a few like these, they have been running for ages and heroes still haven't been able to take them down, there are some top grade slippery bastards, they can't just go after heroes or high-profile folks right now, see the problem now, you are just a student, free to hunt!"
"So you are saying that they won't have any protection against pro heroes but contrary to them they have free pass to hunt me down?"
"No- some professional mercenaries still try to kill heroes even with all the consequences, the difference is just most have sense of self-preservation while don't, but those who control this site also have some degree of control over their mercenaries so the restrain any action that might expose then, so they usually go for low-profile folks…and you are one of those folks"
"Why are you telling me this?" Naruto looked at Hawks with curiosity.
"I am just warning you of what's to come, I think it wouldn't be fair if you got killed because of that, these guys are no-joke, there are professional who can even go toe to toe against top heroes without breaking a sweat, the only reason they aren't hunting down heroes is that they don't have enough resources and protection for themselves, in dark ages they used to be involved in every big thing that happened in this country, human trafiking, kidnapping, assassination, extortion, you name it and they would have atleast some connection to every big event that happened in dark ages, now they are just a ghost of past, but still just as capable."
They way Hawks was vary of these people Naruto could tell, those guys are really dangerous, but one thing still aroused curiosity within him so he asked.
"Did you also know about today's break-in at U.A? Is this somehow related to that?"
Most people don't know about the U.A break-in by the media, it wasn't news yet, the media themselves won't slander their name by saying they help in break-down of the U.A security system. Police were informed of that so it will spread that U.A was breached but it is still too early for heroes from other cities to know about it.
"Close but not quite, I have been hearing some nasty rumors around this area that some shady guys are recruiting those who isn't afraid to get dirty, they are all low levels thugs, plus I still haven't be able to confirm if it's true or not, so I am not concerned about that at the moment but I will look into it, and from what I have heard their main goal is All-might, so I think he should be fine, that old-timer got enough strength in just one finger to breeze through them with ease"
What Hawks was saying is quite true, it wouldn't be quite far-stretch to say All-might might be the strongest human in the history, the shockwave of his one punch alone can shift the atmosphere in the sky. That alone spoke the volume of All-might's strength. He has enough experience and skill under his belt to deal with any attempt of his being.
The symbol of peace!
But he is still a human being, and a hero at the top of that.
And humans die all the same!
"In all honesty I never expected them to put your name for bounty" Hawks mused to himself.
He was quite sure that they wanted Naruto alive and well in one piece, so it was really confusing him as to why they put a price on his head with only dead description beside it. They could have hired that group for capturing him but going after intent to kill is totally different.
"It's not them, it's someone else" Naruto's body flickers for a second before he suddenly appears with his bag and books on his hands.
"Someone you are familiar with?"
"Might be, but I am not crossing my fingers over it," Naruto shrugged.
"That shouldn't be surprising considering you probably pissed off lots of people," Hawks muttered boringly. He was talking with experience.
Naruto was quite sure it's not them. They aren't stupid enough to spread his name around until it's right time, if this information should come to knowledge that a student is being targeted by some dark organisation, the security and safety of his being would become chief priority of hero commission and U.A. not counting the dispute it would create over this topic, plus the impact of doing this would hurt them in return if they want to re-launch paladin's eye project they would not only need him but also his name in clean state.
This is probably someone else who holds some sort of grudges towards him, the only people that comes to his mind are the one who's affiliate members of that institute.
"By the way I have put some safety measures around your family until we discuss what to do about your bounty, so please don't use your fetish on them. They are my cute little subordinates" He joked by making a clutching action of grabbing his neck in a sarcastic manner.
"We? Who all in this we?" Naruto caught-on the little bit of slip up in the middle.
"Someone you have yet to meet" Hawks eye lazily met with blonde's blue eyes "I am not the only that knows about you, you know."
Naruto nods his head, it should be obvious by now that he was well known even back when he was just a kid, it's just he never knew so many people know about him. He had to wonder just how long he has been living ignorant to everyone outside of 'that institute'. Even there he rarely was able to interact with others.
That is something he had to dig deeper to know why do they know him? And how much do they know about him?
Hawks stood up from rooftop floor, he tried not to show though his body language but he looked exhausted plus the strain of getting electrocute must have taken quite a lot out of him. He stretched his wings to lift himself.
"Hawks" Naruto called him out "Thanks for looking out for them" He meant his adopted family, who Hawks have already provided with protection.
"Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not doing that for you, I wouldn't feel right leaving innocent civilians under crossfire plus I kinda grew fond of them" Hawks have been interacting with his adopted family for almost a year and they are very kind peoples, it's only natural they would grow on Hawks too.
But more than that, from what he had picked from Hawks personality is that no matter how much of laid back and mocking he might seem, Hawks is a professional hero and he treats the lives of civilians very seriously.
Hawks' faces suddenly distorted in frown as he let out a groan "I just sounded like Tsundere-jiji didn't i?"
Naruto lips curved in slight amusement "Don't worry, happened to me too" he said as he remembered his own moment of self-realization of his Pseudo-Tsundere personality.
Hawks ignored him as he muttered 'That isn't making me feel any better', when he suddenly lifted his head, a determined look plastered in his face.
"By the way, you can tell me something in exchange of security I provided to your house"
"And that is?"
"How many quirks can you really use?" Hawks suddenly narrowed his eyes "You can sense any attack before it gets you, you can also phrase through objects and walls, somehow you can also teleport things and yourself and diffuse a flash grenade and just now you electrocute me, so I am bit confused, you say you have one quirk but that's not true is it?"
"Don't be stupid all that is just a one simple quirk" Naruto shot him something akin to smile.
He almost forgot that his quirk tends to confuse people a hell lot more than they asked for. He still remembers how hard he himself had to struggle to get behind the fundamentals of his quirk. It was hard to understand and hell lot harder to control.
But as always he had to give it to Hawks, he's smart he was carefully making him use his quirk so he can study him, looks like he and whoever knows about him doesn't really know everything about him. They don't know if he had one quirk or multiple? They are also unfamiliar with his background except they know where he came from. In basic words they know only the outline of his person. Hawks has been testing his quirk for a year, he would try to make him reveal his weakness even when they would be sitting in peace, sometime he would follow him to his late night training or sometime he would volunteer to help him train, all that just to know more about his quirk. But after doing that for a long time with no results, it looks like he finally wants to get straight to the facts.
"Yeah right" He scoffed at the blonde's claim "I will get behind that quirk of yours. One way or another"
"That should be least of your concern"
"Are you threatening me Uzumaki?" Hawks Looked slightly amused as if he had hit a nerve.
Naruto blinked in surprise at the mention of his last name. It felt strange being called by that name, it was familiar but at the same it was not.
"Not at all, I am just warning you, you are going about it the wrong way" he decided to give him a small hint to see if he can solve it.
Hawks stare at him for some seconds with a look of curiosity plastered across his face, before he unfurls his wings and turns back and leaves with great gust of wind "Whatever, just don't get killed, you still haven't done your part yet!" He waved without looking back.
Naruto watched Hawks leave the perimeter, he watched until he became just a little dot on the blue sky.
Naruto then looked at his books, it just came into the market, a completely new book whose review he had yet to read and it is one of the best sellers this month too, he knew he wanted to read it but right now he just can't imagine himself enjoying this book.
He turned his head back where Hawks took off to, he had already stored everything that happened here in back of his mind, including that black market stuff. This is a new development that he wasn't expecting. Including bounty on his head. He wasn't worried about that, but rather the exposer it might bring him
He wants to see how much Hawks can figure out the meaning behind his words, in all honesty he kind of enjoys them trying to read each other as much as possible all the time. It helps him keep himself at edge, and improve his mental defense with each passing moment with him.
Hawks trying to get into his head and him trying to divert him and vice-versa.
It's not his quirk that makes him dangerous, it was just a means of his survival. They didn't choose him because he can use a diverse quirk, but because of something else. Something that warrants even higher-up to be very cautious of him. The reason for his early schooling at the age of just 5. The reason it all happened!
XXXXXXXXXXX
The End!
XXXXXXXXXXX
First of all I want to thank you all for all the positive reviews that makes me really happy.
Our isolation period finally ended and everyone from my family was finally released after testing negative. So thank god for that!
Btw I think it's time I reveal the capacities of his quirk Glitch so as to not confuse everyone later down the upcoming chapters so they won't complain that they didn't understand what just happened.
I did some research on Glitch, so everything that I am going to write is 100% legit power of glitch. And just a fair warning think of his abilities as level-5 esper abilities like accelerator of Toaru magical index series.
I mean the way the Toaru series explains the science behind it's abilities I just love them.
(JUST REMEMBER EVERYTHING INCLUDED HERE IS 100% LEGIT)
So here goes all the applications of Glitch.
1.Absolute Assess : The power to access entry to any location, place or time ( basically he can unlock any kind of lock with this power)
2.Error Inducement : He can induce errors in anything by touching it including, powers, actions, system etc (For example : He diffused flash grenade just by touching it and he disturbed bioelectricity a little inside of Hawks body to shock him)
3.Intangibility : He can move through solid objects and ignore most physical effect in their way, he can also fuse objects into peoples or separate them ( like how Overhaul fuse himself with his lackeys but it's slightly different and how he help Toru get out of Todoroki ice prison)
4.Lagging : the power to perform short lagging motion in any medium, with this power he can slow himself down for a certain time or distance before resetting to their previous speed (Basically he can see objects coming towards him in slow motion by unconsciously slowing down his own body).
5.Logic Defiance : Users can Ignore logic or reason behind things as if it didn't exist, allowing them to do things without any justification or reason behind them and redfine what's normal or what not.
6.Malleable Anatomy : User can modify the physiological feature of oneself and others, including face, body, skin or size to limited degree to disguise or look like another person ( Basically transformation Jutus but he won't be able to hold it for long)
7.Teleportation : He can teleport or transfer matters such as any being and objects or atmosphere itself (Of course including himself) from one point to another without traversing physical space between them as long as his light of that place reaches his retina to see where to teleport.
The Drawback of glitch is that using it for a long time can disturb the Naruto inner body system .Such as difficulty in breathing due to temporarily failure of lung to perform correctly due to error inducement and he will get very painful headache and nausea after use of teleportation for a longer time period.
Okay folks that's all the abilities of Glitch, if you still doubt about this then just search (Superpowers of Glitch) on google and it will show the same thing.
I honestly wasn't expecting Glitch to be this powerful when I first thought of it, I just want an explainable quirk with resemblance to shadow clone and teleportation.
If you have any confusion then just ask me I will pm you!
Anyway, please leave a nice long review, it is always appreciated!
Thanks, bye!
