Happy New Year!. Here is the second interlude, and it is the first chapter in 2024, I hope you enjoy it and prepare for the next start of the Chunin exams! I hope you have a very good year!

Hall of fame

The heroes and villains headed to the hall of fame after leaving the theater, where they could see the new portraits. In the section of heroes and allies there were the following portraits:

Sasuke Uchiha - The emo avenger

Sakura Haruno - The Girl in Love

Kakashi Hatake - Kakashi of the Sharingan

Tazuna - The Bridge Builder

Tsunami - Daughter, wife and mother

Inari - The boy who found the strength

Kaiza - The hero of Land of Waves

Citizens of Land of Waves - Those Who Regained Courage

As they stared at each portraits, several of them could not help but admire them, the citizens of the Land of Waves who had built a bridge to bring prosperity to their country and free themselves from Gato's tyranny. In addition, team 7, whom they had been able to meet in these episodes and whose development shows promise for the future.

"Wow, we met many characters in these last episodes" Ashido said in awe.

"Yes we have." Yaoyorozu nod. "It had been really interesting to see them, and I hope we can see them again in the future."

"What a great way to start the legend of Naruto." Kaminari said.

"It really is a very good start on his journey." Jiro said.

"People who found their strength and were able to confront a villain to their lives..." All Might said, smiling proud of the citizens of the Land of Waves.

"Inspired by both Kaiza and Naruto." Mirio said proudly, although somewhat saddened by Kaiza's fate.

"Kaiza…" Midoriya said, pausing briefly before speaking again. "An ordinary man who became a hero."

"He was a true hero." Spinner said in a soft voice, admiring Kaiza's heroism, the rest of the audience did not respond but agreed. Even Kota sees Kaiza as a true hero since he was not looking for fame or money, but rather simply just to help others.

"It was really nice to be able to meet everyone." Midnight said with a smile. "Although I have to say that I am worried about Sasuke." She says looking at the portrait of the Uchiha boy with worry.

"You're not the only one Nemuri." Present Mic said. "If he is still determined to take revenge on his brother, that will definitely end badly for him." He frowned thinking about the possibility of Sasuke's future.

"How handsome Kakashi looks in his portrait!" Pixie-Bob commented loudly, much to the annoyance of the rest of the audience who just looked at her blankly as she stared at Kakashi with a dreamy look.

Mandalay sighed shaking her head before slowly dragging her friend away with a bemused look on her face as they continued towards the villain section of the hall.

Demon Brothers - The Mercenary Twins

Zabuza Momoshi - The demon hidden in the mist

Haku - The Gentle Shinobi

Gato - The gangster

Thugs - Gato's Minions

The heroes and kids looked with disgust at the portraits of Gato and his thugs due to their crimes against the people of Land of Waves and the murder of Kaiza. The villains (most of them) were mixed. Anger, Understanding, Disappointment, Joy. Disgust.

Mirio stopped to look at Gato's portrait with hatred, the man he would never forgive for having murdered Kaiza and making the citizens of the Land of Waves suffer.

"At least he will never hurt anyone again." Nejire said trying to offer comfort to her partner. Placing her hand on his shoulder as she stared at the portrait with a deep frown.

"Yeah, it's a good thing that bastard got what he deserved." Kamikiri said.

"The ideal would have been for him to have been sent to prison, but I won't complain." Said Recovery Girl, who partly feels that Gato deserved his death at the hands of Zabuza.

"That's what you get for betraying your allies." Shigaraki said, annoyed with Gato for that.

"And because he is a greedy pig, in the end the cheap thing cost him dearly." Mr. Compress said.

"It's true! No, it is not!" Twice agreed, and disagreed.

"That bastard and his stupid extras!" Bakugo exclaimed, looking angrily at the portraits of Gato and his bullies.

"It's a shame it ended like this, but hey, betraying Zabuza was really stupid on his part." All for One thought, disgusted by this.

Then everyone looked at the portraits of Zabuza and Haku and here everyone felt several different emotions, the heroes for their part felt really moved and surprised by the duo since although at first they saw Zabuza as a mercenary whose only interest was money and that he was simply using Haku as a tool, but after seeing him cry over Naruto's speech they realized that despite everything he genuinely cared about Haku and in the end his wish had been for the two to be together forever. While this does not excuse his actions, he was not completely heartless. Haku on the other hand, is an extremely sad case because of how he ended up alone and without family for something that was not his fault, to end up being taken in by Zabuza and voluntarily becoming his tool simply to have a reason to live, but despite Everything would be happy with Zabuza and he would end up giving his life to save him.

The villains on the other hand admire the portraits of Zabuza and Haku since they are so far the most decent villains that this world has shown, in addition to being characters with whom they can relate (Especially Haku).

"Well, at least we got to see decent villains this time." Kurogiri said looking at the portraits.

"Yeah." Shigaraki said looking at them too. "They are like me and sensei, although we have a couple of differences"

"Haku is without a doubt the strangest villain I have ever seen, ribbit." Asui said.

"He wasn't even a bad guy." Uraraka said sadly. "He shouldn't even be considered a villain."

"I have mixed feelings about it." Mandalay said. "He wasn't an evil person, but he did do bad things."

"It's really complicated." All Might said saddened. "Haku ended up the way he did largely due to his circumstances."

"No matter how good he is, he still committed crimes willingly and must pay for it. Our job as heroes is precisely to bring them to justice." Vlad said coldly with no ounce of remorse or pity.

"There are loads out there you erasing b***!" Shigaraki thought angrily, eyes boring holes from behind the 1A teacher.

"It's really complicated, Vlad." Aizawa said. "This boy has very particular circumstances. If there is someone like that in our world, he could be admitted to a juvenile detention center, where we could help him."

"Yes, and once they receive help and serve their sentence then they could reintegrate into society." Naomasa said. "Maybe with circumstances like Haku's and if they progress well, they could even get a reduced sentence."

"If we could understand their situation and what led them to do the things they did, then... maybe there's a chance we could help them!" Iida added hopefully. If physical confrontations could be avoided with villains then he would give it a shot.

"Liars!" Toga hissed. Her expression darkened.

"As if something like that were going to happen." Dabi gave them a cold look before walking away.

"Hypocrites." Shigaraki said annoyed, before leaving with the rest of the villains.

The heroes stood in silence and simply watched them for a bit before going elsewhere.

Museum

In the museum the section dedicated to Naruto had been expanded with new exhibits and statues of the characters.

"Wow! It's team 7!" Eri exclaimed excitedly pointing to a statue of team 7, Kakashi was behind his three students caressing Sakura's head who was in the middle smiling, while Sasuke was to Sakura's left with a serious expression and Naruto was on the other side looking irritated. to Sasuke. (Basically imagine the photo of team 7 with Kakashi)

"It's a really cool statue of them, it's really portrayed them very well." Mirio said smiling when he saw them.

The next thing they saw were life-size statues of all the characters, both heroes and villains, and others that portrayed moments from the episodes, Kakashi vs. Zabuza, Haku talking to Naruto, Sasuke vs. Haku, and Naruto surrounded by the fox's Chakra. There were even statues of Kakashi's dogs, much to Koda's delight.

Then they looked at the screens with the highlights of the episodes, Sasuke and Naruto's kiss, the thousand years of pain, the formation of team 7, the battle with the Demon Brothers, the first battle against Zabuza, the meeting of Haku and Naruto in the forest, Sasuke destroying Zabuza's water clones, Kakashi and Zabuza's second battle, Sasuke's battle against Haku, Haku's ice mirrors, Inari and Tsunami's rescue at the hands of Naruto, the arrival of Naruto to the bridge, Naruto and Sasuke's fight against Haku, the death of Sasuke and Naruto surrounded by the fox's Chakra, the arrival of the citizens to the bridge, the escape of the bullies and the farewell to the Land of Waves.

"This was certainly uncomfortable." Amajiki said, trying not to laugh when he saw Sasuke and Naruto's kiss and the girls' expressions, the rest also shared the expression since it was certainly something unexpected and uncomfortable.

"And for you to say it." Ashido said. "The story of your first kiss is certainly going to be very awkward."

"That was a really manly fight!" Kirishima and Tetsutetsu exclaimed, watching Kakashi and Zabuza's fight.

"It was certainly a great fight." Kodai said looking at the screen.

"This on the other hand, was really scary." Komori said as she looked at Naruto covered in the fox's Chakra. "The killing intent that that fox emitted was something horrible."

"And for you to say it." Shishida said trembling slightly at the sight. "That animalistic appearance and that murderous rage he emits in that state are really terrifying, not even the Hulk emitted that murderous rage."

"That was actually very scary." Tokoyami said looking at the statue, seeing that reminded him of the villains' attack on the camp and since he was so upset when he saw Shoji injured that he ended up losing control of Dark Shadow in a very similar way to Naruto, fortunately Todoroki and Bakugo were able to avoid a major disaster.

"Well, at least everything got resolved." Kendo said. "Let's just hope that in the future Naruto can keep that thing under control." She said to which the rest of the audience nods in agreement, although they have doubts about it especially because of the murderous rage that the fox emits.

"These episodes were really very interesting." Nejire said looking at the screens. "So many things happened, Naruto forming a team, his first real mission, and his first real challenges. And to think that it is just the beginning."

"I can't wait to see what's next!" Eri said excitedly.

"You are not the only one." Mirio said equally enthusiastically. "Yes, this is just the beginning, I want to see how the story of Naruto and his friends will continue."

Game Room

A large part of the audience went to the Game room to play the new games that were available, including one called "Haku Scape Mirror" which consists of entering Haku's ice mirrors and trying to find a way out. The "Zabuza's Challenge." which consists of facing enemies using Zabuza's sword to score points, Spinner was excited when he saw it since he also used to use a great sword before the boy who Stain considered a true hero destroyed it. The "Ultimate Ninja Storm" which had both single player and multiplayer available, in addition to several characters available to choose from, main story, secondary missions, etc. (Although for the moment only what had been seen in the episodes). Naruto Mortal Kombat now had new characters available (Kakashi, Zabuza, Haku, Sakura, Sasuke, Gato and his bullies) and scenarios (The clearing where Kakashi provoked his students, the road to Land of Waves, the clearing where they fought Zabuza , the training forest, Tazuna's house and the bridge that also included a mode where Gato and his thugs attacked both players occasionally except if they played as one of them.) and the simulator had incorporated new missions.

"Oh great!" Sato exclaimed excitedly, heading towards the simulator and selecting one of the new missions "Naruto/Kurama 1 Simulator." Once Sato provoked him, he felt a homicidal rage and bloodlust overcome him, and instead of defeating Haku alone, he ended up attacking everyone present on the bridge only to be stopped by Kakashi.

"Ugh!" Sato exclaimed, coming out of the simulator, somewhat scared. "Th… that was… it was…" He said, too scared by the experience.

"Hey, are you okay?" Sero asked worried about his classmate.

"NO!" Sato exclaimed a little louder than he intended. "That was really horrible! I felt anger and hatred towards humans come over me! And that wasn't coming from me, it was that fox! "It's something very different from what happens with the Hulk." He finished saying trembling as he remembered the fox's anger, to the surprise and horror of those who heard him.

"That thing…" Shiozaki said scared. "It sounds like a demon is possessing Naruto."

"We now better understand the fear of the people of Konoha." Sero said. "Although Naruto is not to blame for anything, he did not ask for that monster to be sealed in him."

"I'm so glad I don't have that monster sealed in me, I never…" Sato couldn't finish the sentence.

"I am glad that that demon does not exist in our world, if it did exist, God knows how many disasters it would cause." Shiozaki said, terrified at the mere possibility that something like this could happen.

"And you say it, and on top of that the heroes of our world couldn't do practically anything. "I don't even think that All Might in his prime could stop that monster." Sero said.

"Fortunately we live in separate worlds and we won't have to worry about him." Sato said.

Meanwhile, the Shimano brothers played Ultimate Ninja Storm and Kirishima and Bakugo played Naruto Mortal Kombat (Choosing Naruto and Zabuza respectively and the bridge as the fighting location due to its extra difficulty.)

Prize Room

New prizes were added in this room ranging from new action figures, collectible cards, ramen bowls with images of the characters, board games, posters, stuffed animals of both Kakashi's dogs and the characters, versions of Kakashi's sword. Toy Zabuza, CDs with Naruto songs and anime episodes, and even volumes of the manga (Although they only covered what had already been seen).

"Oh cool! Tsuntori exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the manga. "Have you seen Manga yet?"

"Yeah." Fukidashi responded excitedly upon seeing the manga. "What do you think if we play the mini-games so we can buy the volumes?"

"Great idea!" Tsuntori exclaimed excitedly.

"And not only that." Kaminari said. "While the manga looks great, I prefer to buy the trading cards first."

"And I definitely want those CDs." Jiro said watching them. "That music is really good."

"And Mirio will probably want the Naruto ramen bowls and Eri will want the action figures." Nejire said looking at the prizes. "So maybe I'll buy them for them to surprise them!"

"And where are they now?" Uraraka asked. "I haven't seen them since we left the Hall of Fame."

"Oh, they're probably in the cafeteria eating something." Nejire said.

"Okay, enough talking, let's play!" Kaminari exclaimed, selecting a minigame, the rest of those present would follow shortly after.

Danger Room

In the danger room Aizawa and Vlad supervised the training of some students in the Danger Room that already had holograms of the Naruto characters available (with their current power levels). Bakugo (whom Aizawa had finally allowed back into the Danger Room) and Midoriya would confront Kakashi. Shoto and Iida would face Haku, and Kamikiri and Tsuburaba would face Zabuza.

The first group had different visions about how to face Kakashi and although Midoriya tried to put together a strategy with Bakugo, he did not want to listen to him since he had his own vision and did not want to know anything, despite recognizing that he initially underestimated Kakashi even He thinks he can overcome it. Midoriya, for his part, is a little nervous since Kakashi is an experienced combatant and so far he has proven to be someone very strong, in addition to knowing that he will need help from his partner if he wants to have a chance against Kakashi, meanwhile he reviews his notebook reading everything he says. knows about Kakashi.

The second group on the other hand discuss a strategy against Haku, with a little luck they hope to be able to reduce him, using Iida's speed and armor against Haku's needles and speed, while Shoto would attack him.

The third and final group had also devised a strategy against Zabuza and hoped to at least have a chance against him.

Meanwhile La Brava, Aizawa, Vlad and the bluegritz droids observed the training, supervising the students and their safety, both La Brava and the droids assure the teachers that the room is safe and that the holograms have been programmed not to cause injuries. permanent and that there is a doctor prepared to treat the students if they suffer an injury.

Living Room

After training and touring the rest of the place, some of the students met in the Living room to talk about the episodes they had seen, while the rest continued in the games room or simply toured the place. Midoriya and Bakugo were the last to enter, both rubbing their butts and grimacing in pain.

"So what did you think of these episodes?" Uraraka asked.

"It was great! I already want to see the next episodes! Hagakure said excitedly.

"It was without a doubt very interesting." Yaoyorozu said thoughtfully. "It was really incredible how much we were able to learn from the world of Naruto and how much I managed to grow in these episodes."

"Yeah." Tsuburaba said. "It was also interesting to see him team up with other kids and start working with a mentor."

"That's actually very similar to the internships in hero agencies in our world." Yanagi said. "It's really surprising that there are similarities between their system and ours."

"Although they are much younger than us and yet they face much more dangerous situations than most interns in hero agencies." Honenuki said. "Well, at least under normal circumstances."

"And that you say it. That was certainly surprising, that they, being so young, lead such dangerous lives." Shoda.

"And their first adventure together was certainly very interesting as well." Shoji said. "We were able to see them grow and improve both as a team and individually."

"Yeah. And even the villains of these episodes have also certainly been very particular." Tetsutetsu said. "They were very different villains than any we've seen before, both in the MCU and in our world."

"Are they really? Or are there more villains who are like them?" Uraraka asked herself, observing Himiko Toga who is next to Twice at a safe distance from the students listening to their conversation.

"That's a great question." Midoriya said, while thinking about Shigaraki and how he reacted to seeing Haku, like the rest of the league. "After seeing Banner, Magneto and now Haku and Zabuza, they make you think that maybe the villains are more than they seem at first glance."

"It is certainly difficult." Yaoyorozu said thoughtfully. "Although our job as heroes is to stop them and prevent them from causing harm, but maybe if we understand them we could do something for them, as Detective Tsukauchi said."

"Especially people like Haku." Ashido said saddened when she remembered it. "He may have been a villain, but he wasn't someone bad, he didn't enjoy what he did or want to cause pain, he was someone broken who clung to a person who gave him a hand."

"What happened to that boy is really very sad." Kendo said saddened, as did the rest of the students. "By seeing what his life has been like and why he did what he did, you can at least understand it."

"He is certainly a ... unique case." Shoto said. "To think that he went through all that, and that Zabuza became his reason to live because he didn't reject him and he was able to be happy despite how Zabuza was with him."

"It is certainly something surprising." Fuyumi said sharing her younger brother's sentiment.

"And even Zabuza despite everything was not a total heartless, he loved Haku despite not showing it." Komori said. "And those words he said at the end." The students are moved when they remember them.

"He's not wrong about that, at the end of the day we're all human, no matter who we are, ribbit." Asui said, moved by these words from Zabuza.

"Those were really manly words, even if they came from him." Kirishima said, before looking at Bakugo and Midoriya's pained expressions. "And what happened to you?"

"Kakashi." Midoriya responded while Bakugo growls remembering what happened in the Danger Room. "We faced him in the danger room, and we couldn't even get him to take us seriously, he just read his book and gave us the thousand years of pain." The rest of the students laugh upon hearing this.

Kirishima laughed so much. "Really, Bakubro?!" he grinned.

"Don't even f*** say it!" Bakugo exclaimed furiously. "And to top it off he read Deku's book because he was dumb enough to drop it!" The students stopped laughing when they heared this.

"Wait w- what!? That means…" Yaoyorozu said worriedly.

"That he read all my notes, absolutely everything." Midoriya said extremely embarrassed by that fact. "And that now he knows everything I have written about our Quirks, strategies and the information and strategies we had written down to use against them."

"This is a disaster!" Mineta exclaimed suddenly scared. "That means that now he knows everything about us and can prepare himself for when we face him!"

"This is really bad!" Awase said worriedly.

"And of course the fame seeker from class A had to…" Monoma couldn't finish what he was going to say because Kendo knocked him out with one blow.

"That means we'll have to try even harder when we face them in the Danger Room." Shoto said to try to defend Midoriya. "We will have to devise new strategies and techniques against them. And by the way, Bakugo, if you had collaborated from the beginning you could have avoided it."

"SHUT UP HALF-HALF!" Bakugo exclaimed, extremely annoyed.

"He's right, Bakugo." Iida intervened. "Teamwork will be essential if we want to have a chance against them."

"And in the future Izuku, maybe you shouldn't bring your notebook to the Danger Room, so we can avoid things like this." Asui said, to which Midoriya nods in agreement. "Apparently they, like you, do character analysis."

"Well, we'll just have to try harder." Uraraka said, trying to cheer Midoriya up. "Which we will have to do anyway if we want to become heroes." The rest of the students nod in agreement with this statement.

Cafeteria

Meanwhile in the cafeteria, Lunch Rush was preparing some ramen with the help of Kushina, which Eri and Mirio were waiting to eat, Amajiki was eating a hamburger and the heroes had a meeting. Hawks decided not to attend and Nezu once more went with the therapist).

"Well." Mandalay began. "This was certainly interesting."

"Wow yes! And I can't believe there are such attractive men in that world." Pixie-Bob said, blushing when she remembered Kakashi, the others just rolled their eyes thinking they will really need to get use to this, except Midnight, who shared her sentiment.

"That's not what I meant." weakly said Mandalay looking down at the table.

"This arc was really very interesting. Not only did Naruto meet his new team and make friends, but this was his first big challenge." Present Mic said. "And it reminded me too much of the Hulk movie."

"Yes, it makes you think that the villains are not what they seem to be at first glance." Midnight said thoughtfully. "Like Zabuza and that boy, and it makes you wonder if the other villains are like them."

"Villains are villains, no matter what their motivations, they commit crimes and should be punished for it." Vlad once more said harshly crossing his arms.

"Well, that's true" All Might said "But as heroes we should try to understand them and help them, Haku didn't become a villain because he wanted to hurt people, but because Zabuza was the only one who helped him when he was alone and ended up becoming his reason in life." He paused saddened by this fact and again reminded him of its similarities to Tenko's situation. He released a tired and heavy sigh and briefly closed his eyes before continuing. "I'm not saying he shouldn't pay for his crimes, but that we should try to save him too." He looked at his fellow heroes then to Vlad with determination.

"I respect your enthusiasm All Might, but our priority should always be the people, and not all villains are "good" they are villains for a reason." Vlad remained stubborn.

"That boy's case is really complicated." Naomasa said. "Though perhaps with the right treatment he could reform and become a good citizen."

"Not to say that trying to reason with the villains could be disastrous." Aizawa said. "The villains we have faced have shown no signs of repentance and attempting to use talk-no-jutsu on them would be putting lives at risk."

"Although Naruto did it with Zabuza, and he didn't seem like the type something like that would work with." Thirteen said.

"That was certainly surprising." Tiger said. "It was really unexpected that someone like him would harbor feelings like that."

"Only someone without a heart could not have been moved by something like that." Recovery Girl said, moved as she remembered Naruto and Zabuza's words.

"That shows that it is worth trying." All Might tried to urged them once more, thinking about the league and specifically Tenko. "As difficult and risky as it is, it is worth trying. If Naruto managed to move Zabuza, that means that other villains could also change, even if just a little."

"I appreciate your optimism All Might, but it's still risky." Aizawa said still against the idea.

"And how was the training in the Danger Room?" Present Mic asked switching topic.

"Bakugo and Midoriya still have to work hard on their teamwork, Kakashi defeated them easily and didn't even take it seriously." Aizawa said sighing as he remembered what happened in the Danger Room.

"Was he still reading that book?" Midnight asked out of curiosity.

"Yes, and not only that, he was also able to read Midoriya's notebook." Aizawa said, much to the concern of the rest of the heroes. "Which means they now know about us and our skills, techniques and weaknesses."

"Well, that means we'll have to try harder. Although on the other hand I didn't expect anything less from the handsome Kakashi!" Pixie-Bob proudly said.

"Iida and Todoroki on the other hand did well, they couldn't defeat Haku, but their techniques and teamwork wasn't bad. Kamikiri and Tsuburaba also couldn't defeat Zabuza but they were able to coordinate well, and their technique wasn't bad either." Vlad said added.

"That's good to hear." Midnight said. "The students are learning a lot here."

Apocalyptic Workshop

Meanwhile at the Apocalyptic Workshop Melissa, Hatsume and Power Loader worked on their projects without interacting with each other, totally focused on what they were doing.

Doomsday Bar

The villains, for their part, were relaxing at the bar, while Kurogiri was preparing drinks, Tokoyami and Kuroiro were talking about darkness and Mr. Compress was talking to Gentle, both had gotten quite close when they saw that they were very similar because they were both showmen and Gentle was very interested in learning about Mr. Compress's great-grandfather, Oji Harima. Just like in the previous interlude they were all thinking about the story as they felt deeply impacted by this story, especially seeing their progress, Naruto's new team and the villains of this arc.

"That has certainly been interesting." Dabi said thoughtfully.

"Yeah." Shigaraki said. "Haku has certainly been interesting, you know my story since I have never hidden anything from you and that boy…"

"You connect with him, yes I can understand that." Dabi replied. "You are not the only one."

"Is he also similar to you?" Shigaraki asked, interested in this fact. "You've never told us much about yourself. I know you have a grudge against a hero but I don't know who it is."

"Well, I'll tell you that later, I don't feel ready for that yet." Dabi said as he leaned on the table.

"Whatever you want." Shigaraki said, before noticing that both Toga and Twice had entered the bar. "And you? Did you manage to find out anything?"

"No, they just discussed how they could help the villains if we explained our circumstances to them, what a bunch of liars." Sigh Toga annoyed.

"Can help us! No they can `t!" Twice exclaimed.

Shigaraki scoffs upon hearing this. "I don't care if those hypocrites start worrying about the villains or not, I just want them to disappear"

He stared down at his hands, clenching and unclenching them before looking back at his group smirking "And I'll make sure of that."

"I support that." Dabi said as Kurogiri poured him a drink.

They grinned back at him.

"Just leave someone in particular to me" Dabi said with a glance as Kurogiri poured him a glass.

30 minutes later

Lobby

All the characters were teleported to the Lobby, fortunately all of them were already prepared and no one had any mishaps.

"Very well, I hope you enjoyed this break. Are you ready to continue with the story of Naruto?" Felicity said.

"Yessss!" Eri and Katsuma exclaimed excitedly as did the rest of the audience.

"In that case, take your food trays and go to your places, so we can continue with this party!" Felicity exclaimed excitedly.

After everyone had collected their food trays from Lunch Rush, they headed to their places, excited to see what Naruto and Team 7's next adventure would be.

Very good! I'm finally done! I hope you enjoyed this short chapter and are excited for the Chunin Exams! Stay tuned for the next chapter! I also thank my beta reader for his help. Without anything more to add, I say goodbye.

Haruki 2506: Well maybe, but Toga is his friend, not Sakura.

The Avenging Titan: I understand your feelings for Vlad, although he will have a couple of wake-up calls, he will react accordingly after learning the truth about Danzo and will realize that things are not reduced to black and white. Characters like Itachi, Nagato, Gaara, etc. They are going to be a total shock to the audience.

Ghostofbrasil: Thank you for your understanding. That thing about Shishida and Tokoyami reacting to Naruto's Kyubi anger and his resemblance to an animal is an idea that didn't occur to me when I was writing the chapter, but I included it in this chapter. As for the Chidori or Lightning Blade, I used the name they give it in the episode I saw on Netflix, I don't know if it was a dubbing translation error or what, but I will correct it in the future. I honestly didn't remember Kaminari wanting to make a lightning sword, otherwise he would have included a reference to that.

randyr2015: Well yes, but there are mercenaries who are villains, like Deastroke for example.

Kubz Boy: Indeed, Kakashi is too much for them.

Whatif-inator: Thank you very much! I really have no words to thank you for your support! Oh yeah the Naruto 4 and 6 tailed forms are going to be really scary for the audience, and Bakugo will feel inferior seeing the tailed beast bombs. And yes, Kurama would be, at least at the beginning, a worse monster than the Hulk and the fact that Naruto manages to become his friend will be a surprise for everyone, Kushina included, especially seeing that what Naruto seeks is not to impose his will on others. , but in search of true peace, break the circle of hate through understanding. Kurama being quite intelligent will be a real surprise to the audience since the vast majority of them simply saw him as a monster and not much else. And in reality Aizawa is not the only one who will realize the error of his words, although his thinking is logical, it is true that Naruto's methods work and have done more good than those of the MHA heroes.

Wizardwolf 1020: I understand what you are saying and I will try to improve in the future.

gonzo22: I don't have any hatred against Vlad, I'm not attacking him or unloading anything against him, I'm simply following the line that Kiddo established with him, if you've read that story you'll know what I'm talking about, that is, he still considers Hulk a villain even after Avengers. And as for what he would agree with Danzo, at least initially it would be like this (Support for Blonsky, Senator Kelly, and General Ross) before realizing what Danzo really is and his actions. I actually don't hate any MHA characters, not even the ones I like the worst and I always try to be objective with them.

jacob. : Simple, if I do that in the end it wouldn't make sense. And yes, it would have been interesting to explore other issues in the world of ninjas, but hey, what are you going to do? As for the existence of marines in the world of Naruto, it's an interesting idea but I doubt it. I think that the Daimyos do have armies, but they are not at the level of the ninjas and as for the Jinchurikis they are strong, but there are ninjas like the Akatsuki, Kakashi, Sasuke, Obito, Madara, etc., who even without being jinchurikis are strong.

The Sith'ari: Thank you for your support! And I do share that vision, I don't think Vlad is a bad person, but he has a vision that things are black and white with no middle ground, I think that's also what Kiddo tried to show with him acting this way. It is true that MHA fails in that aspect, that they never face the corruption of their society at least until the dark hero arc, when Izuku meets Nagant, but even that feels little, in Watchmen (I have read little of this manga) I think that touches on this topic a little more. I also agree with that vision about Vlad and that he could realize how his visions distance him from his classmates and students and that not everything is reduced to black or white. Actually I think that the vast majority of MHA heroes share this black and white vision (those who are not corrupt, but rather well-intentioned people but with very strict views on right and wrong.) Actually a work that deals better These themes are One Piece (Although the world government is inherently corrupt and promotes this among its employees) since there are characters like Koby, Garp, Kizaru, Aojiki, Fujitora, Smoker, etc. that in reality they are not bad and they try to help people, and even some of them like Garp, Smoker or Fujitora collaborated with pirates to achieve a greater good, even if that brought them problems that is why what happened with Fujitora in Dressrosa when he opposed to the Shikibukai Donquixote Doflamingo, letting the pirates escape and apologizing to King Riku, even though he earned the wrath of Akainu and the Gorosei for this and was banned from entering navy bases. And on the other hand there are characters like Rob Lucci, who admits to having joined CP9 simply to be able to kill legally, imagine it under the public security commission of heroes, they would be delighted to have someone like that in their ranks, or Akainu who is completely obsessed with absolute justice and the elimination of "evil" that even the heroes of MHA would be horrified by the extremes to which he is capable of going, such as killing the civilians of Ohara or his own men, even if the heroes of MHA agree with The ideal of "absolute justice" would see Akainu as a villain and not a hero.

Maximum Rhapsody: They will suspect it, but they still won't say anything because they aren't sure and to avoid giving spoilers to those who haven't realized it. How the story will influence the characters, you will have to wait and see. As for MHA: Reacts , I even offer to help but I can't take it on myself.

Whatif-inator: I completely agree with you, if there is a rival who can humiliate Bakugo, it is without a doubt Killer B, and I had not noticed before the similarities between the battles of Sasuke vs Killer B and Shigaraki vs Bakugo, I think which must have been a mini reference from the author.

Anonymous: That's actually a good idea and I'm going to include it.

riotampan35: No problem, I could understand your review perfectly. I understand that the explanation about Iida may seem unnecessary, I put it in because I thought it fit well, since he is able to a certain point to understand Sasuke and his desire for revenge. As for the villains, I understand that you don't agree with them, but what I'm trying to portray here is their vision, their perspective of things and not mine. When you make a reaction story, you should portray the villains' vision. the characters, even if you don't agree with them in order to be faithful to the work and not do anything. I will take into account the reactions and try to make them less dull.

Bag-A-40: Thank you for your support! I agree that MHA neglected this side of their world a lot, although it is true that villains are threats, they are not the only type of threat that exists since there are also common criminals who are not villains, discrimination against mutants, government corruption, etc. . while other series like Naruto, One Piece, Attack on Titan dealt with topics like these much better, and that is why I consider it important for the audience to see these topics and realize that their vision of things is partial and therefore they have visions which are not entirely correct, since they cannot understand the villains and the things they have gone through. In reality, MHA's vision of peace is too similar to One Piece's "Absolute Justice" since it consists of the eradication of evil (Although they do not take it to extremes like Akainu), while Naruto's is trying to understand and achieve peace through understanding. Madara's words will really touch the audience deeply, even if it comes from him. Oh yes, Toga will be very in love with Gaara and will be inspired by both him and Naruto. Oh yeah, Vlad and Aizawa will definitely have a lot to digest regarding Talk-no-jutsu.

Clan-Sung: Thank you for your support! That's actually a good idea, including Rasa in that flashback is a good idea, and yes everyone is going to hate Rasa especially the villains and the Todoroki brothers and the heroes would realize that politicians are not necessarily good people, and it is true that if he existed in the world of MHA Gaara could not be saved by any hero due to his father's political position and even if he were not, they would still not do it because they see him as a potential villain ( which is not entirely wrong due to how he was at the beginning, but he was able to change thanks to Naruto, which shows that despite everything he was not an irredeemable monster). That dialogue between Midoriya and Shigaraki (Keep in mind that this takes place before the Paranormal Liberation War and the Dark Hero arc) plus Midoriya, despite all his heroism, cannot understand Shigaraki or what he has gone through. , so their vision is partial and incomplete, and yes the heroes of MHA are basically super cops and the series has reinforced to a certain extent a black and white vision, since the elements that lead them to question this vision have not been treated enough.

Alexia Zavala: That is the reason why I do not include the openings, since they contain too many spoilers, what I plan to do is include the music but not the opening as such, or leave it as extra material.

fictionreader23: And let me say it, the chunin exams are undoubtedly one of the best in all of Naruto, and cheating with Quirks in the exam is actually a good idea.
