Guest: glad you liked it. This is the revamp of the first chapter so I hope you like this one as well

Just a reader: yeah I'm thinking of keeping it just Naruto. Now I think I've only gotten to Season 3 so I don't know if any of the classmates get together, though I could see Momo getting together with Shoto and I can see him being with Ibarra. Interesting idea for Mt. Lady. I might do that since I didn't realize I made their interactions that way until you brought it up. As for Nezu and that…..you will have to wait and see. :)

YaYaYa47: thank you

Efrm202: yeah I'm thinking of having it just be naruto. Easier and less characters to deal with overall. Also another Mt. Lady familial relationship suggestion. I might do it :)

SLappYNano: yes this is Narutvers Naruto but this will be my version of Naruto. This means he won't be as dimwitted as canon Naruto, he will have a different skillset and he won't spam clones in fights. I'll be honest, I DID think of making Naruto a teacher but most of the cool stuff happens to the students, not the teachers. Also, this isn't Shippuden Naruto. I would say he is 14, the same age as the students so it wouldn't make sense for him to be a teacher. But I have plans for him so I hope you continue to read to see what they are.

Kitsune No Hi 75: Well here is the revamp of the first chapter. Hope you like it as much as the pilot

Insanemaelstorm: revamp of chapter 1. Hope you still like it

Guest 2: giving me ideas. Thank you. I will think about his interactions with Mt. Lady and midnight. Things will be explained in upcoming chapters, I promise.

GRIMREAPER225k: don't know if I can call this more, but hope you still like it

Weebwithnowill: hope you like this revamp

.3950: I'm sorry to say but I don't think I will bring more Naruto characters into the world of MHA. though you will see them again in later chapters, like a "meanwhile in Konoha" chapter. Hope you're not that disappointed

12Ookami12: I think I'll stick with MHA only, my friend. Though I will take your pairing suggestions into consideration

Blueblade28: glad you liked it. And glad to hear you're ok with whatever pairing I go with

Funny-Little-Cute White Fox: yeah me too….oh wait….here's an update, though it is more of a revamp

Naliyah: it was the mask wasn't it

TO ALL READERS: there are important details in the ending author notes. I know a lot of you don't tend to read them but I beg you to do so as it brings up important bits of information that I think you need to know.

Also, this is a revamp of the pilot so there will be a good portion that is the same, though I have made changes to several bits. This will obviously not happen for the whole story so the next update will be chapter two. But for now, I hope you enjoy the REAL chapter 1. I thought of just making a new story with it but since a lot of you already favorited this one, it will be easier and I won't have another story on the list. hope that's alright with all of you.


Chapter 1: The Offer

We live in a world of powers.

When you step through any doorway, you are most likely going to find yourself in a comic book scenario. Especially with how 80% of the world's population has a superpower. In what everyone calls a "quirk"

In such a world, it was obvious that there would be people that would want to do whatever they wanted and disregard the safety of others. Because of this, the world needed people to combat them with their own powers.

And thus it became a world of Superheroes and villains

Fights that look like they were ripped straight out of a comic book became common to everyone so much that manga that deals with the super-powered teens lost all meaning.

Quirks made their mark on the world and how everyone handles day-to-day lives.

"And this is the world we live in now."


A green-haired boy was walking through the street with a downtrodden look as he held onto a ruined notebook. "Maybe Kaachan was right…...maybe I should just withdraw from UA."

This boy was Izuku Modoryia, a fourteen-year-old boy that had the ambition of becoming one of the greatest heroes in the world much like his idol: All Might. The main issue was something that had become a sort of negative side to being part of this world

He was born without a quirk. Labeling him Quirkless. Being labeled as such when he was only four had him become the target of bullying from every one of his classmates as it was now considered weird to not have a quirk and made him easy prey.

Despite how he was told that he couldn't be a hero by everyone in his life, this did not stop his ambition, his dream. So he began to study any hero and villain he could, causing him to be somewhat of an encyclopedia of current and past heroes.

Though sometimes the discrimination he gets does get to him

Earlier in the day, one of his classmates, Katsuki Bakugou, once a friend to Midoriya, had bullied him about the choice of school he wanted to go to. Bakugo used his quirk: explosion, to blast the notebook and told Mirdoria that he had better chances of becoming a hero in the next life and he should jump off a building so he can die and be reborn

Midoriya almost considered withdrawing his application but he immediately shook it off as he was close to reaching his dream. And it all started at UA high.

"Someone stop him!"

Midoriya looked up to see that on the other side of the street was a multi-armed man, running through everyone with bags of cash in his grasp.

The man had shaggy brown hair that covered his eyes and was wearing a ripped-up muscle shirt and casual jeans. He had four arms, two on each side, and each one had one bag spilling money out of it. "And they say crime doesn't pay. Well, not only does it pay but I'm going to be living the good life from now on." Looking ahead, he saw that there were too many people in his way so he moved into the street, dodging some of the cars that honked at him, and began to run in the middle of the road.

This caused a few crashes since the drivers began to swerve out of the way to not hit him

"Call the police! Or the heroes!"

Midoriya decided to follow the man from the sidewalk he was on since he was excited to see a potential hero vs villain fight. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pencil so he could write down anything new he could learn from whichever hero might come to stop this villain. "I wonder who might come. Maybe one of the newer heroes like MT. Lady? Or Kamui Woods?"

He wasn't the only one that ran after the villain as many other civilians chased the villain so they could watch the show. It was one of these civilians that noticed something standing a good distance away in the path of the villain. "Look!"

Everyone stopped in their running, including the villain as they looked to see who it was that came to the rescue.

"It's Vigilante!"

In the middle of the road was a man that was covered from head to toe in black. A black hoodie vest that had several holes in the torso, a black long sleeve shirt, black jeans that also had holes in them, black worn-out shoes, and black gloves. His face was also covered up with a face mask that covered up the lower half of his face and orange visor glasses. "Really? You decided to rob a few convenience stores in the middle of the day? What, did you think that it was a hero holiday or something?" His voice was low tone and casual. Almost as if he was bored. (think kakashi's voice)

The villain gritted his teeth "piss off! You ain't even a real hero! Your ass ain't nothing but a wannabe!" he shifted his cargo so his lower arms were each carrying two each and brought his two free hands up in a sort of fighting pose

Midoriya stood at the front of the increasing crowd as he looked on in intrigue. "It's Vigilante!" he opened his notebook to a certain page that had a simple sketch of the one called Vigilante. "It looks like he has changed his usual sunglasses for an orange visor. I wonder if the type of eyewear affects his quirk in any way though I don't see how it would since his quirk doesn't have anything to do with his vision so it might just be more for hiding his identity …." he continued to mumble as he wrote down some of his theories about the clothing changes.

On the two pages of the notebook, he had an image of Vigilante with several sections of texts describing several aspects of the person including what he had learned about his quirk.

As Midoriya wrote about the change, several of the other onlookers started to talk to each other

"This should be good. Two villains about to take each other on."

"Hey, Vigilante isn't a villain."

"Oh yeah, then why do all the heroes want to take him down?"

"He's right. Vigilante isn't anything but a guy that does what he wants when he wants and doesn't care about what happens to anyone else."

"Then why did he save those people during that attack a few days ago. If it wasn't for him, they would have been crushed by the falling debris."

"She does have a point."

"Still if he was a hero, why isn't he affiliated with any hero agency? The heroes always try to take him in but he keeps getting away."

Back on the street, the villain charged at Vigilante ready to beat the wannabe down so he can get away before a hero showed up.

Vigilante stood there nonchalantly waiting for the villain to get close enough. Once the villain threw his punch, Vigilante made his move

The villain didn't know what happened. One second he was throwing a punch at the wannabe and the next he felt extreme pain on his back and his head. But he didn't have time to fully register what happened since he was suddenly hit in the face hard enough to knock him out

Vigilante stood over the knocked-out villain and sighed. "Well, that was easy." he looked around to see all the citizens were staring at him and filming with their phones. He waved at them and shouted out "Hey, did one of you call the police already?" he received his answer as he backflipped to avoid thick branches that wrapped around the spot he was just standing. Once he landed on the ground he saw that it was Kamui Woods. He waved at him and gave a cheery greeting. "Hey, Woodsy. Still trying to sneak up on me? How many times are you going to try that?"

Kamui withdrew his branches and turned his gaze to Vigilante. "Till you are behind bars, villain."

Vigilante crossed his arms as he shook his head. "You guys are stubborn, you know that." It was then that he looked around before tilting his head "speaking of, where's …." he then noticed it getting darker and he jumped to the side to avoid an enlarged hand. He landed away from the two and saw the one he was just asking about had arrived. "Ah, there you are MT. Lady. was wondering when you would show up since you seem to try and take away Woodsy's spotlight."

Mt. Lady glared at Vigilante as this was not the first time she had to deal with him. And every time she did, he would do whatever he could to piss her off. "I can't wait to finally get rid of you."

Vigilante put a hand on his chest while putting the back of his other hand on his forehead as he gave a dramatic gasp. "How could you say that? And after that passionate moment the other day. I'll never forget our time together. You were my first too. I feel so used"

Mt. Lady grew a blush at how that could be interpreted and she saw that a bunch of the onlookers were all starting to mumble to themselves with clear blushes on their faces. It was made worse when she saw a reporter had recorded the whole thing. She saw red as she glared at Vigilante. "YOU LITTLE PEST! Don't say stuff that suggests that kind of thing!"

Vigilante was holding his stomach as his shoulders shook, trying to hold back his laughter. He once again leaped to the side as Death Arms came down to punch where he was standing. Rolling to a stop he saw who it was. "Well, Death arms. It's been a while." he looked at the three heroes that were facing off with him. "I feel like I was invited to a party by accident and everyone just wonders why I'm here. Well, I guess that's my cue to Skidoo." (even I can't believe I wrote that.)

The heroes tensed as they didn't know what he was about to do. But they got their answer when Vigilante ran towards Mt. Lady.

Said woman reached down and tried to grab him but he kept slipping away.

He ran under her and away from the area.

Mt. Lady turned to see him running away. "Get back here!" she began to give chase as she would not let him get away

Death arms also gave chase as he knew that his abilities gave him a better chance against the villain

Kamui was about to give chase until he noticed the other villain that was knocked out on the ground. Despite how he wanted to give his assistance in taking down the most infamous menace out there, he had to prioritize. He restrained the villain and looked to the audience and asked. "Did one of you call the police?"

A simple-looking man nodded as he pointed at his phone. "Yeah, I told them about the fight between Vigilante and the villain. They should be here soon and they said they sent out a hero to stop Vigilante."

Kamui nodded as he wondered who they sent


Midoriya wanted to give chance and watch the rest of the fight but he noticed the time on a nearby clock post and figured that he should head home. He began walking in another direction as he looked over the new notes he was able to make for the newcomers, Kamui and Mt. Lady as well as small bits of Vigilante. "It looks like he didn't use his quirk in the fight though he did knock out the thief quickly so he didn't have a need to use it and in the fight with the heroes he seemed to only use physical skill rather than use his quirk. He might not be able to use it as often since the public has only ever seen his quirk a few times so it might be that some conditions need to be met before he uses it though I don't know what that is…." he kept mumbling to himself, even when he was away from the crowded area and walking through a tunnel.

Behind him, a manhole began to rattle as a dark green slime began to leak out


~back with Vigilante~

He was running through the street as he looked behind him to see Mt. Lady and Death arms keeping up with him. He chuckled as he saw the angered look the mountainous woman had on her face. He always thought it was fun to embarrass this woman since she was clearly doing the hero thing as a way to gain fame.

The times she poses sexily when there is a crowd of people and reporters is evidence of that.

He also noticed the reporters and much of the crown following them while on the sidewalk. 'They really love watching these fights.'

One of the civilians in the crowd pointed ahead "look!"

Vigilante looked ahead and he had to stop at the sight of the newcomer. "Well, it's been a while, Endeavor."

Said hero was standing in the middle of the street with his arms crossed and a grin on his face. "Looks like I finally get to take you down."

Vigilante sighed as he put his hands on his hips and shook his head. "You say that every time you're sent after me." he turned his head to see that the other heroes were blocking the path he came from and the crowd were now a distance away so they could watch the upcoming fight

The reporter, a female with brown hair put into a ponytail, looked at her cameraman and nodded to him as a way to say that she was ready. Once she saw him lift the camera, she started to do her job. "We're back with the continuation of the fight with the infamous being that had not given us a name, but the public had come to call him 'Vigilante'. This man has not given a name to any of the ones he fights, whether they are a villain or a hero. No hero has claimed him to be part of their agency and after the police have gone through membership it has come to light that he is not a registered hero. Due to this, he is wanted by heroes and police as he had broken multiple laws with his actions. Though due to his heroics, the people are at odds with each other with whether he should be thrown in jail or taken in to become a hero that can fight alongside many of the respected heroes. Though with how things go with the heroes and Vigilante, it is unlikely that he will ever be accepted as such."


*beep beep*

A computer screen lit up showing the word "alert" on it. After it blinked a few times, the screen changed into the newscast showing the fight between Vigilante and the heroes.

The owner of the computer tapped a few keys, causing the video feed to move to the corner and the rest of the screen showed a map, highlighting the area of the fight. The owner stared at the screen for a few seconds before tapping a few more keys which expanded the map. He then focused his gaze on certain locations of the map and nodded. "Let us hope I can finally speak with this elusive person."


Endeavor flared his power to the degree that it started to melt the concrete under his feet. "You won't be getting away this time, villain." he sent a blast of flames at Vigilante's feet to get him moving away from his spot. He already knew that Vigilante would dodge the attack and followed his movements as the criminal jumped over his head and was about to land behind him. Anticipating this, he sent a torrent of flames where he would land. He clicked his teeth as he saw that Vigilante jumped out of the fire like it didn't do anything.

Vigilante patted his pants as the base of them were lit on fire. "Hey, stop burning my clothes! You don't see me tearing your outfit apart."

"Because you know I would turn you to ASH!" he sent another torrent of fire at him trying to cripple him a bit.

Vigilante jumped to the side as the fire barely brushed him and he landed on the sidewalk. Once the fire stopped, he once again dodged MT. Lady who stomped at him.

Mt. Lady looked at where her foot stomped as she waited for the dust cloud to dissipate so she could see if she got him. She felt a tick mark pulse as she saw that she had missed and he was leaning on her foot as if nothing happened. "Why…..you ….little…..!" she saw him turn his head at her and she just knew that there was a cocky smirk behind all the coverings

"I think you missed."

She lifted her foot again to stomp at him but she didn't stop. She saw him dodge her foot and she kept trying to squish him. "Hold! Still! You! Little! PEST!"

At that last one, he sat on top of her foot cross-legged. "Don't forget to write your name under your foot's impression." he leaned back as Death Arms threw a punch at him. He leaned into a roll and kicked off Mt. Lady's foot, once again in the middle of the street, and dropped flat on the ground to avoid a fireball. Once it passed, he got to his feet and dusted himself off. "Hooo, I almost felt that one."

Endeavor was getting angrier as he kept firing at the criminal and missing. He wanted to send out a widespread wave at him but with civilians around, he needed to contain the damage.

This kept going on for a while with every attack the heroes sent being dodged so nonchalantly


Vigilante was once again messing with Mt. Lady as he ran around her feet.

The woman tried to step on him but she lost focus and stepped on her own foot causing her to trip and fall.

*CRASH*

The crowd had to cover their faces as a bit of dust was picked up from her fall. They all looked to see that the large heroine was a little dizzy from the fall and was shaking her head to get her bearings back.

The crowd had been a good distance from the fight but all this seeing around had gotten the fight closer to them

The newswoman looked back to the camera. "It would seem that despite having three heroes against him, Vigilante continues to toy with them as if they mean nothing. He is even doing this to the number two hero, who hasn't been able to land a single hit on him." She turned back to the fight and saw that Vigilante was jumping around the heroes, no longer just on the ground but the walls as well. "Follow him." she ordered the cameraman as she didn't want a single moment lost.

The cameraman followed Vigilante as best he could since the black-clad fighter kept hopping around avoiding the attacks aimed to take him down.

Vigilante landed on top of a lamppost after deflecting a punch from Death Arms. He gave a fake yawn as he spoke in a laid back almost bored tone. "Come on, guys. We've been at this for….I don't know how long. Can't we just call it a day and go on our own merry way?." He backflipped off the lamppost and landed on the awning of a restaurant as Endeavor sent out some fire that was hot enough to melt the post. "ok …..I think you are getting a little too hotheaded." he turned his head to the left as he saw Death Arms coming at him. "Maybe you can talk some sense into him, Death arms?" He jumped up to avoid a double overhead strike and grabbed the edge of the window and planted his feet on the wall as he hung there like a monkey.

Endeavor felt his temper at its boiling point and did his best to hold back the heat. He didn't look down but he knew that he was melting the tar road below him into tar. "It's time to surrender, villain!"

Vigilante slumped as he shook his head. "When have you seen me surrender? After all this time, you should really know how this is going to end." He felt the ground rumble and avoided the grasping hand of Mt. Lady. he landed on her shoulder and sighed dramatically again. "I'm sorry, my fair lady but it would never work between us. I know you want me badly but I can't offer myself to you…..you're just too old for me."

Mt. Lady was fuming as she really wanted to beat him into the ground now "I'm going to enjoy hurting you!" she slammed her palm on her shoulder only to see him jump up on top of her hand. "You're worse than a damn mosquito!"

"Aw, you know me so well." he slid down her arm till he got to her elbow, where he jumped off and onto the roof. He then leaped down to another lamp post then to the ground before running off. "It's been fun but I must be on my way."

"You're not getting away!" Mt. Lady stomped after the vigilante who was parkoured over many different obstacles.

He looked behind him to see the three heroes giving chase, underneath his mask he smirked as he made his way to the entrance of a dark alleyway. Seeing that the news crew and civilians kept up as best they could he did a showman's bow "Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you for being a wonderful audience but it is time for me to say 'bye bye'." he gave a two-fingered salute at them before he jumped into the shadows of the alleyway.

Endeavor remembered a few times before how the criminal escaped and would not allow it again. "NO YOU DON'T!" He pulled his fist back as he made it to the entrance and then thrusted it forward sending a blast of fire into the alley. He kept the flames on for only a second as he didn't want to kill the criminal, no matter how tempting. Once his attack was withdrawn, he looked into the alley, which had several pieces of garbage lit aflame but there was no sign of the criminal. His flames grew in size as his anger spiked "DAMN IIIIIIIIITT!" he threw his fists down as he was enveloped by a pillar of fire only for it to dissipate after a second

Were just as frustrated about the fact that they had once again lost track of the criminal

The news crew had followed the fight and were still recording. "It seems that the illustrious Vigilante has once again escaped. With how he has evaded not only these heroes but many others as well, it might be left to All Might to bring him in. but will things escalate to that point? And how will the number one hero fare when many, including the number two hero, have failed?"

Endeavor heard this and gritted his teeth as hated being reminded about not only his failure to catch this criminal but also being reminded that he was still ranked number two. he swore to himself 'I will incinerate him the next time I see that criminal! HE WON'T ESCAPE ME AGAIN!'


Unbeknownst to everyone that were still at the site of the fight, they were being watched by the very person that got away. He was on the roof of a building two miles away. He sat on the edge of the roof for a full minute before he spoke. "No matter how many times we go through this game of cat and mouse, it is still unclear who is the cat and who is the mouse. At some point I figured they would give up….." he stood up from the edge and turned around with his arms crossed as he looked toward the water tower that was a couple of dozen feet away. "...wouldn't you agree?"

Out from behind the water tower came a small white animal that looked like a combination of different species. Possibly? The newcomer was wearing a suit and walking upright much like a normal human. Apart from the odd sight of seeing an animal acting like a human, another feature that was noticeable about him was the scar he had over his right eye. "With how well you have evaded everyone up till this point, I would have to agree with you."

Vigilante nodded before looking around to see if there was anyone else. "I'm surprised to see someone actually waiting here for me...and alone. With how you are nonchalantly standing there, I can either assume that you are stalling me for time till other heroes show up or you want something from me. So…..who are you?"

The newcomer raised a paw in a friendly wave as he smiled "I'm the one that can be seen as a bear, a mouse, or a dog, but you can just call me Nezu, and I am here only to talk." he saw that the one the public named Vigilante nodded and chose to start off with a short explanation. "I must say that it was not an easy feat meeting with you. With how your many exploits have been for all this time, it was nearly impossible to calculate where you would be after your next bout with a villain and the heroes."

"And how exactly did you figure I would end up on this building specifically? I mean, no one else has been able to do that before and yet here you are being the first."

Nezu put his paws behind his back as he stood up straighter and spoke in a cheerful manner as he was proud to actually get this puzzle solved. "It was very difficult. I had watched the recording of your interactions with the heroes and the direction that you would go as you leave the scene. I had then used security cameras to try and find out where you went. Though when I checked the cameras that lined up several spots in the direction you would go, I found that you never go off in a straight line when leaving. I had spent some time going through the footage of one of the battles and after focusing in many different directions, I had noticed small disturbances that would speed past some of them. Even slowing down the footage, I would only get a blurry frame of you. I must say, you have incredible speed."

Vigilante grew sheepish and rubbed the back of his head at being praised about that.

"Anyway, I went from camera to camera trying to see where you would end up. And then I found myself at a loss as you had merely vanished from them. I figured that you must have stopped somewhere in the area or had gone much faster. I chose to go with the former and used the cameras to see if I could catch a hint of you. It was fortunate that a simple convenience store camera was able to see you from a distance on the top of a building. Searching the store's location, discovering the camera angle and where you were facing, I was able to deduce where you had stopped. After I found this out, I went through the same process for several other battles regardless of if they were with villains or heroes. Some were unsuccessful but I soon found out the reason. In every one of your battles, you would always leave the area and stop about two miles away from it and look towards where you were once at. But you needed a clear view of it and if there was no tower or antenna, you would be on the roof. Using this I was able to determine your pattern. After all this research was done, I had a program installed on my computer to inform me of when you had made an appearance and where the battle was taking place. Even with that, it was a gamble since you have no set direction and this building was one of eight other possible stopping points for you and if I had chosen wrong I would have to wait for the next battle to attempt a meeting with you."

Vigilante chuckled as he shook his head at how complicated the whole ordeal must have been to come up with a possible meeting place. "Wow, it sounds like it would have been a headache to think about where I would end up. Nice job in finding out where I would be."

Nezu nodded in gratitude. "Why thank you. It was actually rather enjoyable to solve this little puzzle."

"But that still doesn't tell me why you would want to talk to me? Every other hero tries to take me down the second they see me. What made you think I wouldn't just attack you the second I knew you were there?"

Nezu smiled "I have examined all of your fights with heroes and I have seen that you never fight back when a hero attacks you. In all of them, the most you have done is trip them up, causing them to harm themselves but nothing serious. A fall here and there, perhaps a cut on the hand or face, and many times wet from hydrants or water fountains. The point is….that you have never fought back when you were surrounded. You always made an escape, causing no harm."

Vigilante shrugged "there isn't a point in hurting what are seen as the good guys. And I find it a good workout getting away from all of them."

Nezu nodded. "Yes, I can see that as a reason, especially with the minimal damage done to the surrounding area. And there are your heroics as well. Whenever there is trouble, you would appear and save the people from potentially fatal incidents. You always put the people first before the villain. Should someone be in danger, you would insure their safety first before you incapacitate them."

Vigilante nodded as he gestured to himself. "Well you certainly know a lot about my actions but you're still not telling me why you wanted to talk to me?"

Nezu cleared his throat "yes, forgive me. I am here with an offer."

"What kind of offer?"

"After some time, I have concluded that you are someone that is on the side of the heroes, yet you are not affiliated with any agency. And I wish to offer you somewhere you may have the chance of getting into an agency. I wish to offer you a recommendation to attend UA academy."

Vigilante tilted his head "why would you want to offer something like that to me?"

"As I've said, I've studied you. I see someone with great potential to becoming a great hero. Although I am unable to distinguish why you are not attempting to become a hero the correct way and I can only make assumptions about the reason. I wish to extend an olive branch."

Vigilante's stance became slack as he uncrossed his arms. "Still, why would you think I am the right age to attend UA? From what I heard it is a school to teach young heroes about the ins and outs of the job."

"I based the assumption on your height, your mannerisms in battles, and small tells that show your young age. Though I cannot be a hundred percent accurate, I would assume that you are within your teenage years."

"...wow…..you've got an eye for detail."

"Why thank you."

Vigilante then walked up to tower over Nezu, who showed no sign of being intimidated. In fact, he kept smiling as he looked up. "How can you just trust me like that when you don't even know the real me?"

Nezu nodded as it was also an odd thing for someone to do. But he had a gut instinct telling him to trust this person. Not only that but, oddly enough, he felt some sort of…..kinship with him. "I like to believe I am a very good judge of character."

Vigilante continued to look at Nezu till he chuckled at the situation. "Wanted by the heroes, hated by the villains and I am being offered a place with the other newcomers into the hero world. Sounds like some manga story." He looked up to the sky as he thought about the experiences he had gone through in his life to this point 'well… this is one of the weirdest things to happen to me since I got to this world. Though not in a bad way.' he then looked back down at the still smiling Nezu. "You know that you are taking a very big risk in doing this."

Nezu nodded in agreement. "A great risk, with potentially one of the biggest rewards. Not just for me but for you as well."

Vigilante stared at Nezu for a minute before speaking. "Honestly, I never thought about being a hero the 'right' way. My life is complicated and the world has thrown things my way that I had to deal with….but I guess this is one of the few times someone offered me another way of living it differently. But I wanna think about whether I should accept or not."

Nezu nodded again to what Vigilante was saying. "I understand. Despite how prestigious the school is, having something like this offered to you is not something you shouldn't accept immediately." he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small notepad and pen before scribbling on it. Once he was done he ripped the paper out and brought it up for Vigilante to take. "You may contact me at this number."

Vigilante looked at the paper in Nezu's hand before taking it.

Nezu put the items away as he nodded "I do hope you accept my offer as I believe it would be a waste for someone of your talents to waste such potential. Though I do request that you give me an answer soon as the registration deadline is coming to a close soon and the paperwork we need to go through will take time."

Vigilante chuckled silently at the word "paperwork" as he remembered a few people who despised that word. He put the slip of paper in his pocket as he nodded to Nezu. "I'll give you my answer as soon as I come up with an answer. And since you are doing this for me…." he lifted his hands to his head and began to remove the covering.

The hood was removed to reveal bright blond hair that spiked out.

The mask was removed to show whisker marks and a smile

And the Visor glasses were removed to show vibrant ocean blue eyes with slitted pupils.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. And whether or not I accept your offer, Nezu, it was a pleasure to meet you."

Nezu immediately noticed the change in voice and was surprised at how different he sounded now that the mask was off. He brought up his paw as he said "and it was a pleasure meeting the boy behind the mask."

Naruto took the paw and held it for a few seconds before he let go and took a few steps back before he put his face covering back on. He gave a two-fingered salute before he vanished from sight.

Nezu looked around as he tried to see if he could catch any sign of his departure. But he could not see any of it. "Remarkable speed indeed." he then walked towards the door that led inside the building. 'If he does join, I feel he will change many things in UA. I wonder what they might be.'


~elsewhere~

Naruto was leaping from rooftop to rooftop as he made his way home. He didn't want to think about the offer yet as he needed to stay alert while out in public. It was then that he caught the scent of smoke and looked in the direction his nose was telling him it was coming from. He saw a pillar of smoke not that far away and figuring he could be of some help, changed his course and made his way to it. As he got closer he saw Mt. Lady was standing close by but facing the opposite direction of him. 'Good, she won't see me as I get closer.' He stopped a distance away to see what the problem was and how he could help but he gritted his teeth as his acute eyes caught sight of a hostage situation. He was about to jump in and take the large slime villain down till his eyes widened at what happened next.


Midoriya was terrified about the situation that was going on in front of him. He also felt extremely guilty at the thought that it was his fault that this villain had escaped and taken a hostage. 'It's all my fault. If I hadn't distracted All Might with my questions, he would have taken the villain to jail by now.' he stared at the slime villain as he held onto the hostage.

While Midoriya was panicking, he heard several of the other onlookers asking questions to each other.

"Why aren't the heroes doing anything?"

"Dude he has a hostage."

"Isn't that the same villain that All Might took care of earlier? How did he escape?"

"Don't worry, the heroes will take care of the villain soon."

Midoriya clasped his hands over his mouth as he looked on. 'They don't understand. None of the heroes here have the type of quirk that can take the villain down. and…..All Might might not be able to help…..' his panic kept growing as he saw his friend Kaachan being used as a shield. But then he saw it. Something that he didn't think he would see in Kaachan's eyes.

Fear.

Midoriya began to run as fast as he could towards the villain.

The heroes that were already there began to shout at the kid to stop or turn back but their words fell on deaf ears

Midoriya felt his whole body shiver in fear yet he kept running. 'What am I doing? Why are my legs moving?!' He thought about everything he had been told in his life.

The doctors "Sorry but you don't have a quirk."

The teachers "It's best if you didn't apply to UA."

Kaachan "You think you can become a hero?! In your dreams, Deku! You're better off dying and trying again in the next life!"

All Might "Can you become a hero without a quirk? Sorry, but you can't."

….mom "I'm sorry Izuku. I wish things could have been different."

Midoriya swallowed down his fear and thought about what he could do right now. 'Page 25! Right!' Thinking of his idol, he forced a strained smile onto his face as he grabbed his backpack and spun around before tossing it at the villain's eyes 'when dealing with a villain that might be stronger, aim for one of his senses to distract him!'

The contents of his bag flew all across the slime villains face and one of the notebooks jabbed him in the eye, causing him to scream

Midoriya made it to where Bakugo was being held and began to grab at the slime to tear it off

The slime around Bakugou loosened and freed his face. He gasped for air as he looked to Midoriya. "What the hell are you doing, Deku!?"

Midoriya kept trying to pull the slime off his friend "I don't know! My legs just moved on their own."

"Get the hell out of here you loser!"

"I can't!"

Bakugou was stunned a bit by the declaration from the weakling he knew. He looked to him and saw terror was gripping the green-haired boy but still had the forced smile as he spoke with fearful tears in his eyes

"I …. can't just watch you die, Kaachan…."

Toshinori was awe-struck by what he heard the kid say. 'What am I doing?! I'm just standing here while he …." his muscles began to increase as he gripped his side. 'I have to do something! No matter the cost! Or else I ..…'

The slime villain recovered from the hit to his eye and looked at the civilian trying to free his hostage. "What a pathetic pest!" he raised a large tendril of slime and brought it down to kill the boy

Midoriya looked up in shock as he saw it coming down on him and shut his eyes as he braced for the hit.

A big gust of wind shot at the slime villain and suddenly Bakugou was released from the slime monster's hold. He fell right next to Midoriya and it looked like they were both about to be hit till another shockwave was felt by everyone.

"I really am pathetic."

Everyone looked to see that All Might had blocked the blow as he stood over the two kids protectively.

All Might grabbed the two of them with his free hand and moved them behind him. "I told you what it takes to be a great champion! But I see that I wasn't living up to my own ideals!" he tossed the piece of slime that impacted him aside before pulling his fist back. "You risked your life kid! That's the true trait of a hero!"

The slime monster looked at the limb that he was using to slam the kids only to see that it was cut off. Regrowing it he brought it up for another swing. "Damn you, All Might!"

All Might tensed his muscles and activated his quirk as he sent the punch at the villain. "DETROI~T SMAAAAA~SH~" he sent a punch so strong that it blew away the slim villain as well as the flames that took the whole center and created a small tornado.

Mt. Lady was covering the onlookers so that they wouldn't be blown away by the shockwave of the punch.

Once the wind died down everyone looked to see that the two kids were alright and the villain was splattered everywhere. Though being made of slime, he was alive.

Another effect that the punch caused was the formation of clouds above the area causing rain to fall.

Everyone stood there in shock as Death arms spoke in awe. "Holy crap. He changed the freakin weather.

All might stood up straight as he began to raise his arm in victory but he had to rebalance himself as he felt his legs buckle a bit from the strain of overusing his quirk.

The crowd cheered for the number one hero as he stood victorious once again

All Might looked down at the unconscious boys but focused on the one that risked his life to save another. He then looked at some slime that was splatter on the wall to his right. 'Someone helped the hostage out of the situation he was in. By the time I got to these kids, he was already on the ground. Not only that but the arm that was going to hit them had already been cut off from the rest of the body. If i hadn't blocked it, it would have harmlessly flopped at an angle, completely missing them. I wonder.'


The police arrived and gathered all the sludge of the villain and were storing it into containers meant for such villains

All Might was standing in front of the reporters as they kept praising him for his heroics

Midoriya was being chewed out by several of the heroes there as they reprimanded him for risking his life and that it was pointless for him to have done that.

As all this was going on, Naruto stood on top of a nearby rooftop watching all this go on. "The guy risks his life to save someone and he gets punished for it?" he sighed as he shook his head. "Kid deserves praise, not complaints." he then shunshined away as he was no longer needed here.

All Might paused in his answering as he looked up at an angle to the rooftop of a building. 'Was that just my imagination?'


~Elsewhere~

Naruto made it to where he was staying as he began to take off his disguise. "This place is full of problems." Once his mask was off he pulled out the piece of paper that had the number on it and thought about what he should do. "Should I go? It would be something new to do while I stay here but…..it's school." he groaned as he didn't know if he should or not. 'What do you think?'

"You're asking me if you should go to school? What the hell have you done to my kit?"

Naruto chuckled as he took off his shirt. "Hey, I'm not that bad."

"If I recall, you skipped out at the academy so you could prank the whole market district. For most of the week."

"Ok fine, so I was that bad. But who knows. This school might be different. I mean this world is full of people that have so many different powers." he took off his shoes and pants as his body began to increase in size.

"I don't see a real point in going but it would give you something to do besides running around and picking a fight with all the 'heroes'."

Naruto sighed as he dropped to all fours as his hair began to change color as well as fur growing from his body. He made it to a pile of pillows and laid on them as 8 swaying tails were seen behind him with the centermost one having a black stripe that ran from the tip to his neck before splitting and ending at his eyes. "I'll give him a call tomorrow morning. I can't believe I'm saying this but, I'm going to school…..yippee…...what the hell…" he chose to get some rest on his pillow bed that was set up in an abandoned warehouse. Despite it still being sunset.


~meanwhile~

"Young man, you too can become a hero."

Midoriya was on his knees clutching at his shirt as he heard the words that he had needed to hear for so long. Tears ran down his face as those eight words rang through his head.

'The words I need to hear. I wanted to hear. Were finally said to me by the one I idolized the most.'


This is the story about how Izuku Midoriya became the world's greatest hero and the boy that paved his way to stand with him


End of chapter

As many can see, Naruto is not the same Naruto from canon. This naruto is the same one from my very first fic Fox in the leaf. For those of you who have read it, the pairing in that fic will be vetoed in this one so he isn't with Hinata and Ino. It's mainly for ease of pairing in this one. Most of the events from that fic are still canon to this except that so sorry for those readers.

For those who haven't read it, Naruto has been raised by Kurama since he was a baby and due to circumstances, he himself has become a bijuu. Though in terms of power, he is not as strong as peak Shippuden naruto. Heck, I don't even know if I should put him at Pain arc Naruto yet. I will give a more detailed explanation at the start of the next chapter so everyone can have a better understanding of where his skill level is at

I am using my version of naruto as I already know his skillset and won't have to come up with something new right off the bat.

Yes, Naruto is far stronger than many already but I won't have him showing up everyone in a dramatic fashion. That would be boring.

FOR PAIRING. Many have said Momo and I can actually see that working. Now, this does not mean that it is set in stone but it is there. Now I don't mind doing a multi pairing. HOWEVER! I am not going to go crazy and have him be with every girl in existence. The max number could be three and that is the MAX. ALSO, this will NOT be a lemon story. IF there is a lemon, they will be extremely rare or nonexistent. I am story-driven and lemons add little to it.

Also, Ochako is off-limits. Why? Because she and Deku are good for each other and he needs someone like her.

For Midoriya's rambling, I chose to make it one long run-on sentence.

also, the title is going to change. if you have a suggestion for a new name, please put it in a review. same with the cover art, got an idea for it let me know.

Flames will be ignored.
