Hello everyone, the Shinobi Hero is back. I have updated the details and changed it to just a MHA story, per the suggestion of the reviews. I hope you all enjoy. If you wish to read the next chapter, want a say in what I make, or if you wish to just support me, then consider becoming a Patron on Pat reon. Thank you.
Izuku walked home exhausted. 'You didn't tell me I would be so tired.' The thought to Naruto and Kuruma.
'You didn't ask. By the way nice going with Momo. She seems like someone I used to know.' Naruto replied with a melancholy tone. 'If we all lived, I might have dated and married her. It took me too long to notice her affection.'
'Please, you were my container. With the stamina and resilience of both your parents and my chakra regeneration, you would have needed at least 9 wives to keep up with you.' Kuruma stated as if it was natural. 'I feel bad for the new brat. He will have a hard time to keep the women from wanting to be with him. Just like your mother. While you were being conceived Kushina literally did not Minato leave the bedroom for 4 days. That man had my condolences.'
'I don't think that will happen to me.' Izuku thought back as he slowly walked up to his apartment. 'I should probably message Itsuka. I need to let her know what happened before I get yelled at.'
'Yeah, she is going to beat you up for doing something so reckless.' Naruto chuckled.
'Oh, like Sakura did to you?' Kuruma replied chuckling.
'Ouch, Kuruma. Way to open old wounds.' Naruto had fake tears in his eyes. 'Besides, Itsuka is into Izuku. Sakura was just going to be with Sasuke.'
'Technically, she would have if you let her. Be honest Naruto, did you truly believe Sasuke wouldn't have ended up with your cousin?' Izuku asked.
'Karen would have allowed Sakura to have a gene spliced part of Sasuke's genes with yours to allow Sakura to have both. But she would not have allowed her in her actual territory. You Uzumakis were horribly territorial.' Kuruma replied as Naruto freaked out even more.
Izuku: Hey giving you a heads up. I just got into an incident. If it is on the news, I am fine. I just rescued someone from being kidnapped. I figured I message you before you beat me up.
Itsuka: YOU WHAT! Izuku how many times do I tell you not to do anything over your limits!
Izuku: First breathe. I am not looking forward to telling my mom. I need you to be the calm one. I had to. I was only able to hear her cries for help because of the different frequency my enhanced ears can hear.
Itsuka: Ok, ok. So everyone is ok right? You didn't get in trouble?
Izuku: Nah, thankfully. All Might showed up and covered me. I am thankful.
Itsuka: You met ALL MIGHT! Please tell me you got his signature?
Izuku: Of course. I even got you one.
Itsuka: You are the best! I might even let you win next time we spar.
Izuku: Well, I might give you a challenge next time. My quirk evolved again.
Itsuka: Of course it did… You make everything so much more difficult. Grandma is going to beat you up again.
Izuku: Please don't tell her!
Itsuka: Maybe if you treat me to some ice cream after. Anyway I will let mom and dad know that you are ok if they ask. I have to go though. Ttyl
Izuku: Thank you.
Izuku sighed as he put his phone down. Itsuka was his first real friend after the whole Katsuki and father incident.
Flashback 9 and half years ago
Izuku and his mom had walked into dojo. This was the third dojo they had entered this week in attempt to find a way to help Izuku with his quirk. While the first two were made to show sparring practice, they did not give the spiritual enlightenment that helped Izuku's quirk grow. It was despairing for both of them that there was so little martial art dojos did not take into account the spiritual aspect of why martial arts were learned and trained.
As they walked inside, a older lady walked out to them. "Hello, how may I help you?" The old lady closer to her late 60s asked as her eyes seemed to be completely closed. She was close to Inko's height around 5'5" with wispy white hair tied into a bun. Her age showed as her eyes were closed but seemed to know what it around her.
"Yes, we were wondering if you gave out lessons. My son just unlocked his quirk and needs training to understand it." Inko started with their opening speech.
It was a way to see if the people just wanted to someone to have him for a powerful quirk or if they were a dojo to be there for the student and help them grow. It was because of every gym or dojo that they had come by so far had always just wanted it for their own glory not to help Izuku.
"Ma'am, my dojo does not care for your son's quirk. We teach martial arts. If you are looking for a boost to have him become famous, leave now." The older lady said as she started to walk away.
"Wait, I am sorry. We came up with this to prevent us to be used." Izuku quietly called out as the woman turned away from them. "Please, this is the first place I found that did not force me to show my quirk. I want to learn so I can help people."
"Hahaha," The older woman chuckled as she turned to stand in front of Izuku. "And that was my test. I do not train those who wish to learn from me as a way to use it for personal gain. I wanted to ensure you were willing to learn and to use my lessons for what they are meant for."
"Hmm, I see. It has been a long time since I have seen someone's soul and chakra this out of place." The old woman stated. "Come, we must meet with my other student before we continue, she will help me get your chakras realigned."
"Wait, how did you know his chakra was out of state?" Inko asked as she and Izuku followed the woman to the actual training area.
"While, it isn't flashy. My quirk allows me to see chakra points as well as see a persons soul image." The older woman stated as she walked with a purpose without looking back. "I am sorry for your heartache, miss. The wound will heal with time. As for you, do not doubt yourself. Doubt will tarnish your soul, while over-confidence with block your chakra points."
"Wait, how?" Inko asked shocked as how much this old woman knew.
"The eyes are the gateway to the soul. While my normal sight is lost such as colors and lights due to my quirk, it allows me to view things that are not visible such as ones soul." The woman replied as she opened the door to the training area.
"Grandma!" Itsuka yelled as she ran over to give her a hug. The little girl wore a training gi with teal eyes and long orange hair that she tied into a high ponytail on the left side of her head. Her bangs are split into three clumps around her eyes, and some of her hair sticks up in large tufts at the top of her head.
Before she could however the older woman chopped the little girl's head. "Itsuka what did I tell you about calling me that when we are in the dojo?"
The girl had a slight tear in her eyes but responded, "Not to call you that. Sorry sensei."
"Good girl. Now come give me a hug and we have a new student." The older woman stated as she gave the girl a hug. "Now, I need you to go get your parents to come up here. I need to setup the chakra point releaser for this boy."
"Ok, I will be right back." Itsuka said as she smiled widely running to the back area of the dojo.
"Now, before we continue. I am Kira Kendo. When we are in the dojo, you may call me sensei or Kira-sensei. Failure to do so will result in as you saw with my granddaughter in punishment." Kira Kendo stated as she looked at them. "We are here to learn martial arts as it was taught before the quirk era. It is meant as a discipline teacher. Meditation is now mandatory. It the method we use to align both your body and soul allowing your natural energies to flow. Everyday regardless if you here or at home it is expected of you to meditate."
"That seems like a bit much. He is only 4 years old." Inko stated as she was worried for her son.
"Ma'am, your son…" Kira left it open to get their names.
"Izuku." Izuku replied watching the woman with awe.
"Izuku is stronger spiritually than almost anyone I have ever seen. I do not know what his quirk is and I do not care." Kira started. "The important part is that he is aligned. If he is not, it will cause him pain later on in his life. I do not ask him anything different than what I ask my own granddaughter."
As if manifested by her words Itsuka walked back into the room with her parents in tow. Itsuka walked in with a man and woman. The man was tall at 6'1" that seemed to have his own martial artist build with steady with the same white hair that it seemed his mother had. He wore green tee shirt that was slightly baggy and jeans with what looked like a karate black belt as a belt. Her mother on the other hand seemed like an adult version of her daughter 5'7" tall with her hair flowing behind her. She wore a flowing summer dress with an apron over as if she was just cooking lunch.
"We're back! Is he going to be joining us?" Itsuka excitedly stated.
"Ah, good. Now this is my son Kenichi Kendo, his wife Miu, and my granddaughter Itsuka." Kira explained as she introduced them.
"Hello, I am Inko Midoriya soon to be Inko Shimura and this is my son Izuku Midoriya. We have been looking for a place that would help my son. His quirk is unique." Inko said as she tried to explain her son's quirk.
Izuku saved his mom but explaining, "My quirk is called chakra. With what I know about it, it is form of energy that I can use to manipulate to do different things."
Looking at his mom nervously. She backed him up with a hand on his shoulder giving him the go ahead. If she trusted them already he would. "I have had dreams of using this energy to do multiple things such as walking on walls and water. Using it to replace myself with objects to avoid things. I have had 2 dreams so far and each time my body grow and my quirk grew but also changed."
"That is why we were looking for a place where they can train and help him build spiritually." Inko said as she bowed her head. "Please help my son. He has a dream to be a hero since he was able to understand what a hero was. I want to help him but I can't."
"Relax my dear. I would not have brought him in here if I did not intend to. Your son is experiencing what my family from millennias ago call enlightenment. The way to mold chakra was lost because of what my ancestors call the great war." Kira explained as she put a hand on Inko.
"Thank you." Inko replied starting to cry getting dangerously close to her famous crying.
"Miu, can you talk Inko to the back. I need Kenichi's help with the his chakra points. Itsuka, I want you to meditate." Kira stated as she walked Inko and Izuku in dojo.
Flashback end
Izuku shuddered as he remembered the first time and many other times after his dreams had unaligned his chakras. He also shuddered from the training he got after he messed up his chakras. 'You realize how much I am going have to go through now that you are here right?' Izuku questioned.
'Please it will be easier now that the chakra from both of us are awakened.' Naruto said as if he knew.
'Regardless, you should message that other girl. She will think you have ignored her.' Kuruma stated as he curled into a ball.
'Right…' Izuku thought.
Izuku: Hey, is this Momo?
Momo: Yes!
Momo: I mean yes it is. Is this Izuku?
Izuku: yeah. I am just messaging you to see how you are doing.
Momo: I am alright. Still slightly shaken up but my parents and everyone is looking out for me. I am really glad you rescued me and told me my dream is not something that I shouldn't persue.
Izuku: Of course. I would be a hypocrite if I said that. By the way what is your quirk? Mine is chakra it allows me to use certain energies to do multiple things.
Momo:….. my quirk is called creation. It allows me the ability to create any non-living material/object from my exposed skin by transforming the molecular structure of my fat cells. In order to create something though, I need to understand the molecular structure of what the material/object is made of.
Izuku: That is amazing. You must be a genius. To be able to make anything is great. It is an ability that will allow you be any hero you want to be. You can create bandages or medical supplies in need when a disaster happens. Have you tried to create robots like camera drones and others to do scouting? Have you tried making things like stuff from fiction stuff?
Momo blushed deeper red than a tomato. 'He thinks I am amazing.' She thought as laid in her bed. He reaffirmed his belief in her by saying she could be a hero.
Now that she thought about it she hadn't thought of it. 'Hmm I wonder.' She thought as she looked up compound structure of each piece of a drone. Thinking about it she started using her quirk. Before her eyes she pulled out a drone with a camera and controller with monitor in it. "YES! I did it!" She yelled out.
Izuku: Uhh, Momo I didn't freak you out did I?
Momo: What? No sorry. I was testing your theory. I made a drone like you said. It works too!
Izuku: That is amazing. I am glad. If you want we can meet up test other things too.
Momo: Of course! I got to go. My yelling freaked out my parents. I will talk to you soon.
Momo saw his bye as she leaned against her bed freaking out. Is this a date? Does he want to take her out like her romance novels she secretly coveted. Was he her fated encounter? She started running through her house as she tried to figure out what just happened as her maids and butlers all looked at her.
Izuku then started to meditate as he had not done so and knowing his chakra was out of balance again was necessary. After several hours of filtering and flushing his chakra points, Izuku heard his mother come home. He had messaged her to let her know he was home and safe but he clearly could tell she was worried about him. She proceeded to hug him tightly and crying.
"Mom, it is alright. I had to help. Don't worry everyone is alright. All Might was there at the end to make sure everything was ok." Izuku said as he tried calming his mom down. "I also unlocked my quirk fully."
"What do you mean?" Inko asked as she slowly let him go.
"Well, remember my dreams of Naruto and Kuruma….. Well, they kinda sorta manifested….." Izuku stated as he put his hand into the shadow clone motion. "Shadow clone jutsu"
Instantly 2 other Izuku merged causing Inko to freak out. "Relax mom. They are just part of my chakra." Izuku said as he thought. 'Alright guys take control of the clones so we can all talk.'
"Man, it has been so long since I could actually breathe." Naruto stated in his different voice as he took control one of the clones. "Nice to meet you Miss Shimura. My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I guess you can say I can now call me part of your son's quirk."
"Damn brat. You took the one I was going to take cover. Don't worry miss. We will take care of the new brat." Kuruma said before his chakra dispersed the clone.
"Wha….." Inko asked before she fainted.
Thankfully she was still hugging Izuku as she fainted which allowed him to catch her. "Well, that could have gone better." Naruto said earning a glare from Izuku.
Couple of hours later
Inko woke up to the sound of her son making dinner. It was strange to her the last thing she remembered was 3 Izuku's all with different voices talking to her. As she walked into the kitchen, She saw 2 Izuku's arguing. "I am telling you ramen is the superior food." A different voice Izuku stated as she watched them cook what looked to be a stew.
"Your opinion will change when you taste mom's Katsudon. It is amazing." Izuku with the voice she recognized said.
"Izuku….. what is going on? Why are there 2 of you?" Inko freaked out again at her son as she looked on as they cooked.
"Oh, mom this is Naruto. He is part of my quirk. He is technically made as a clone right now but I wanted to talk to you about it but you fainted. My quirk evolved." Izuku said as he nodded to Naruto.
"See you tonight. We have a lot of training to do." Naruto said as he poofed out of existence.
"Right, you were explaining that. Are you ok?" Inko asked as she looked at him.
"Oh, I am fine. Though now I won't be grew sporadically anymore. Though I apparently will be still growing just not instantly." Izuku said as he sat down with the food.
"Well, that is good. Though I doubt the clothes drives will be happy with us." Inko chuckled as she looked a her son. "I am proud of you today. You did a good thing helping that girl."
"Thanks Mom." Izuku started before he got cut off.
"But it made me scared. I heard you got hurt and got incredibly worried. I know I can't stop you from following your dream but I can't help but think you might end up injured and die." Inko said as she started crying. "It is terrifying to me that one day my little boy not return to me."
"Mom… I know the job of a hero…. Especially the hero who I want to be is dangerous. But I promise, I'll come home to you! I will do everything in my power to make sure I return to give you a hug and support you as you have done for me." Izuku said as he knelt next to his mom.
That night was rough for both of them, when they both went to be sleep found them both quick. Unfortunately for Izuku, that also meant his training began.
Inside Izuku's mind
Izuku walked into the area that he first found Naruto and Kuruma. What he wasn't expecting was to find an apartment room that reminded him of Naruto's old apartment.
"Hey, welcome to my house. It isn't much but seeing how I am part of you now, I wanted my place back." Naruto stated as he lounged on the couch.
"Where is Kuruma?" Izuku asked as he didn't think the giant fox would fit in the apartment.
"He is sleeping in the backyard. He tends to like the woods we made for him." Naruto said as he gestured to Izuku to sit. "Now, before we get started. I want to talk to you about chakra."
Izuku sat next to him and patiently waited. "We need to build up your chakra reserves. While in here we will be having you circulate your chakra through mine and yours back and forth." Naruto stated as he remembered when he did this for both Kurama's and the natural chakra.
"Why not do it with Kurama's as well?" Izuku asked.
"Unfortunately you are not ready for that. His chakra is too potent. It would tear your body to shreds. Thankfully it has been flowing into since you were born like me which allowed you to survive it even forming in you." Naruto explained as he had seen many try to capture the Kyuubi's power.
"So, how do we do this?" Izuku asked understanding the reason.
"Hmm, first things first. We need to sit in the lotus position. Thankfully, your martial artist teacher taught you this. That lady is scary, but is amazing at what she does. Next we will be flowing our chakras together. You will push your chakra to your left side and pull mine in on your right." Naruto said as if the knowledge was popping into his head.
"That's it?" Izuku asked skeptically.
"Hmm, as far as I am aware. I have never done this truly with another person. When I did it with Kurama, he was inside a seal which allowed us to circulate it around my system. With you however we are already in your system but not. So this way is the way the toads taught me to circulate the nature chakra." Naruto explained as wondered how Ma and Pa were or did they pass on their knowledge to someone else.
"Hmm, I guess that makes sense. Alright let's get to it." Izuku said as he had a nagging feeling that Naruto was leaving parts out of something. He didn't know what but he remembered that Naruto had done things differently.
Next Morning
Izuku awoke at 5AM. His body hurt. 'I guess it makes sense we were swapping chakra without rest all night.' He thought as he pulsed his chakra through his system. His chakra had grown as the night went on as his body however seemed to meld with his muscles causing them to deteriorate and regenerate causing them to strengthen. 'Damn, if this is how Naruto's chakra is no wonder he thought I couldn't handle Kuruma's chakra. I still have to meet All Might in an hour.' Izuku thought as his body seemed to slowly stop going its endless loop.
'Well, I told you, it was going to be rough. Thankfully you still have an hour. Plus side is we are 5% done.' Naruto said with a cheeky grin.
'5! If I feel like this now, how will I feel at 100%.' Izuku thought as he slowly rose from his bed. 'My body feels like it is on fire.'
'Once we get to 100% our body will have been acclimated to the chakra flowing through us. Once we get there however we will be working on nature chakra. That way you can use that to slowly seep Kuruma's chakra.' Naruto said as he had a lot to do before he was ready for that. 'We need to get you some more strength training for your body. Or else you won't be able to use any more of my chakra after 25%.'
'Damn,' Izuku thought as he got changed. He had a slim but sturdy build as the martial arts he trained in shoot boxing. While his legs were his main focus in his martial arts, to counter Itsuka's unique battle fist style, a mix of ARB, boxing, karate, and muay thai to enhance her quirk "Big Fist".
Thankfully, they never used their quirks because he was sure he would never beat Itsuka in an actual fight. 'Well, not until we combined Uzumaki, Frog Kumite, and shoot together.' Naruto said as he sat in his apartment inside Izuku's head.
'Maybe,' Izuku thought as he left a note for his mom as he walked out the door.
Takoba Municipal Beach Park was once a beautiful beach, however over the course of several decades as tides pushed trash up onto the beach, people had decided it was not worth keeping it clean as crime rate and property damage rose. Eventually it became known as a dumping ground. The only people now a days that went to the beach were scrapers who were looking for a quick buck, or dumpers. Izuku had always been sad whenever he passed it with his mom.
Izuku walked onto the beach 30 minutes later looking around for the tall blonde as it was 5 minute before 6AM. Looking around though, Izuku only saw a very skinny man with sharp, angular features and long limbs, his neck long and his eyebrows absent. He was wearing baggy clothing and looked overly sick. The terrifying thing those was the pressure he was emitting from his eyes as he bored into the mountain piles of trash. "You know, this place used to be beautiful. The white sand used to glow at sun rise and set. Let me ask you young man, what do you think a hero is?" The skeletal man asked him as he looked at him.
Izuku paused. What was a hero? He had seen many heroes. Some where in it for the fame. Some wanted to have power over others. He then thought of some of this favorite heroes. Ingenium the man who ran around his competitors to rise up the leader ranks but would always do what was right. He made a name for himself by getting citizens out of harms way as a villain was using people as hostages.
He thought of Selkie. Though not the most famous hero, he fought for ocean health and safety. He had been a majority rescue hero type but he always looked out for the citizen and innocent.
He thought of All Might himself. The man's opening as a hero was him rescuing citizens from a building that had caught on fire. He rescued everyone with a smile on his face.
Finally he thought of Naruto and his story. He thought of what he went through. He had tried to rescue everyone and make sure everyone lived. It was Sasuke's fault that the world ended the way it did. Right, wrong, or indifferent had Naruto ended villains when he could have it might have saved lives. In the end it was Naruto's character that had stopped Pain and end suffering.
"I think a hero is someone who is not determined by strength: it's determined by a great desire to help people, no matter who they are, and the ability to act on it, no matter the odds. They do whatever they could to protect people. They do whatever they think is best to protect people, the environment, and even pull people back from the ledge when they are going down a dark path. They are humble and take what they do to help and show others what they can do. Finally they end threats if it is truly necessary. If someone does go beyond the edge and is to the point where they will do anything to prove a point, then they need to stop them from continuing their rampage. Being a hero is not determined by strength: it's determined by a great desire to help people, no matter who they are, and the ability to act on it, no matter the odds. " Izuku said as he truly believed that heroes were meant to be there to protect.
"That is what I AM LOOKING FOR!" The man in front of him buffed up immensely revealing himself to be All Might. " YOU my dear lad have been what I have been looking for!"
"WAH!" Izuku yelled as he saw the man in front of buff out. "All Might where did you come from?"
"HAHAHAHAHA! I have been here since the beginning in my citizen form." All Might stated. "I have finally found you my successor!"
"Wait successor?" Izuku asked confused.
"Yes. Young Midoriya, what do you know about my quirk?" All Might asked.
"Well, there are many speculations on what it is but most common thought is super strength or mutation type that increases your strength." Izuku started forming his own idea as he saw All Might transformed.
"While, most theories have been made, however what it truly is much different. My quirk is called One for All." All Might exclaimed as he moved both of them into the dump.
"One for All….." Izuku reiterated.
"Yes, it is the sacred torch that has been passed down as a symbol of Justice. A pillar of hope. And you my young man are who I have decided to bear this torch." All Might stated as Izuku promptly fainted.
'Maybe I have come on too hard.' All Might thought as he saw the young man passed out on the sand.
