Reality Viewing: Naruto the Quirky Villain
-Chapter 13-
It was surprisingly quiet for once in the classroom that had been unintentionally appropriated for Mirko's temporary residence. In fact most of the room's occupants seemed quite content to keep to themselves for the time being and do their own things.
Mei was working on yet another new gadget or modifying an old one (who knew for sure) with Tsuyu watching curiously while doing origami again, only this time by using her tongue to fold the paper. Meanwhile Mirko and Midnight were playing on the Herotendos, faces locked in concentration as they mashed buttons on their controllers, Momo was sitting in a corner with a small frown as she kept pinching her sides self-consciously, and Shoto just fiddled with his phone.
"Oh hey, this stuff is finally wearing off," Mina, who sat next to the still trapped Iida, broke the silence as she poked at the pink goop keeping her class president cemented to the spot. Each jab was aimed at miniscule cracks that were gradually starting to spread across surface, the edges crumbling away into dust. "Looks like you be zipping around yelling at people to follow the rules again in no time."
"Mphhh mmmm mph."
"Still can't understand what you're saying, this isn't some anime where I magically start figuring out what muffled jibberish means because we're friends or something." The pinkette stated with a giggle when the entrapped teen mumbled unintelligibly through the foam.
Rolling his eyes, Iida sighed in defeat and mumbled something else out with a shake of his head, or at least the best he could manage in his glued state.
Before the pinkette could make another witty retort in response though, her attention was taken away when Shoto called out. "Loading is done."
Like a switch was flipped the room erupted into flurry of chaos as everyone hurried back to their seats and Mirko ripped off her game headset. "About damn time, was starting to wonder if this thing would ever finish."
"He was really cool... and he had a Toad Quirk... did you know people with Toad Quirks have stronger poisons than us, and they can crawl on walls without using their hands... Onii-san said that he had weaker legs than the Frog Quirk, but he seemed really strong anyway."
'This is the most he's talked about somebody.' Samidare's mother (Beru Asui) thought to herself as she set down their dinner plates in front of her children. It was a rare chance that she and her husband were both at home, since they worked away from the house, so she decided to make a decent dinner for the family with her own efforts.
"Awww, how sweet~."
"That is so precious."
Both Mina and Momo wasted no time bursting out in gushing fits as Tsuyu and her family appeared in the projection, the froggy girl's little brother excitedly recounting his encounter with a certain enigmatic blonde in detail. While he couldn't really show it expression wise thanks to the rigidness of his facial structure, the gleam of happiness in Samidare's eyes along with the excitement in his voice was more than enough for them all to see just how happy he was.
She had opened a can of worms when she asked Samidare how his stay at the hospital was.
"A Toad Quirk..." The family father Ganma Asui questioned under his mouth, expressionless face not showing either positive or negative. He was extremely frog-like, though a species of frog that had warts like common toads did, and was brown skinned with black hair (even though he had a frog head). His children all took more after his wife than they did him, which was good, because he inherited far more of the mutation-aspect of the Frog Quirk and less of the actual superpowers.
He had the looks of a Frog, but very little power behind his looks, so he couldn't help his daughter in her quest to become a hero.
"So he got all the warts but none of the hops to go with it? Talk about a raw deal." Mina mumbled, having thought the man would've had more powerful since his frog mutation was so much more advanced. To hear it was essentially just cosmetic though and she couldn't help but feel sympathetic for the guy since he no doubt got a lot of flak for that fact.
It was a sentiment that Tsuyu seemed to share as she nodded her head with a soft croak. "He doesn't like to talk about it much."
Beru gave his elbow a small tap.
"Didn't you know a man with a Toad Quirk years ago?" Beru asked him to remind him he knew some good people with that Quirk.
"So how much you wanna bet that that man just so happens to be Naruto's father or something?" Midnight asked, already having an idea where this was going.
Rolling her eyes in exasperation, Mirko made a 'so-so' motion with one hand while propping her chin against the other. "With how things have gone so far, I honestly wouldn't be surprised."
"Me either." Shoto added with a shake of his head.
"You're talking about Minato, right? I met him in college, he was a genius at everything he did, he graduated from college at the age of 15... settled down with that strange Uzumaki woman... was she was the one who started the orphanage, or the one who started the island for animals with Quirks?" Ganma asked his wife, since he wasn't friends with either Minato or the Uzumaki woman. He just could not not know about Minato, since the man had been one of the world's finest geniuses, having graduated college at an insane age.
"Ha, can I call it or can I call it?" The adult-rated heroine asked rhetorically with a giggle before shaking her head. "But seriously though, the guy graduated from college at just fifteen? That is really impressive."
"No kidding," Mina said while turning to the busty brunette beside her. "I mean YaoMomo, you're the smartest gal I know but if that's true then he'd make even you look like a dummy in comparison."
"…I'm not sure how to respond to that."
"I wonder if he'd be any good at making babies?" Mei wondered aloud as he tightened a bolt on her most recent creation, only to quickly end up blinking in confusion when Mina, Midnight, and Mirko all burst into laughter. "What? What's so funny?"
Sighing with a red face, Momo leaned in and whispered something into Mei's ear, making the pinkette blink again before nodding her head in understanding.
"Ooooh… well that's not what I meant." She said with a shrug while going back to her tinkering.
"His Toad Quirk made him smarter?" Tsuyu Asui, the oldest child, another froggy in the family, asked as she sat down between her siblings.
"Oh come on, seriously?" The room shook slightly as Mirko slammed her foot against the ground in disbelief. "You have got to be joking me right now. His quirk could actually make him smarter too?"
"Well it's not impossible, recent studies have proven that certain animal based quirks could potentially have a direct effect on a person's intelligence," Momo stated. "As far as I can recall they've found that Dolphin, Octopi, Crow, and even Rabbit quirks potentially increase a person's IQ."
Hearing that last one, a smirk formed on Midnight's lips as she nudged Mirko's side. "So does that mean you could be even dumber without your quirk?"
"I will break your nose again."
"That wasn't a no~."
Samidare and the 6 year old Satsuki.
"Real Toads are actually very intelligent, though, not all people with a Toad Quirk inherit this little factor. I don't know if Minato inherited his Toad Quirk's intelligence boast, or was just a genius... but the boy could spend one night studying anything, and he would be an expert in the morning... the boy had so much more potential than all of his peers... but he wasted it... he's just another tale of a man who was led down the wrong path." Ganma explained to his daughter, since he didn't want her to get the idea that he knew everything about Minato, or was even friends with the guy. He only know what everyone else who went to school with the guy knew, maybe a little more because he made the effort to try and hear some extra rumors.
"So deciding to open an orphanage for needy children and being with the love of his life was the wrong path? Ugh, sorry Tsu, I don't like your dad anymore." Mina stated dully.
"It's fine, he means well but sometimes he can be a bit overly pragmatic ribbit."
"Onii-san didn't seem super smart, but he was really fun, and he helped me learn to crawl on the ceiling better." Samidare said to Satsuki, not paying a lot of attention to his parents, while his younger sister listened to him.
"Minato had a beautiful song though, of all the men with Toad Quirks, I do remember him having an unnaturally beautiful voice." Beru was remembering Minato, with her husband nodding slightly.
"Right, he always did have that habit of doing that when he was studying really hard... that song really was a nice thing to fall asleep to in the dorms." Ganma remembered that too.
"…I give up, the toad quirk is total bullshit." Mirko threw her hands up in the air as she slumped in her seat, not even caring about the zap she got this time.
Tsuyu just put a finger to her lower lip.
"You mean like how I say ribbit sometimes... and what does a song have to do with a Toad Quirk?" Tsuyu asked with a slightly confused tone, at least her family could tell she was confused, since it didn't show on her face.
"Ribbit, that's a good question," The frog girl muttered as she also tapped her lip in confusion. "I know we can make some calls but I've never heard of anything about actually singing."
"He helped a kid in a wheelchair play tag-"
"Well, unlike us girls, men with Frog and Toad Quirks are able to produce real Toad/Frog sounds, since in nature, the females don't really make noise. People with our type of Quirk, the men, can combine their human vocal cords with their Quirk and produce a blend between the beauty of the mating call, with the range of a human." Beru explained for her daughter, and she turned to her husband. "Show her dear."
"Ah, that makes sense, ribbit."
...
"With all this pollen in the air, my throat has been awfully scratchy... not to mention my voice isn't suited for it." Ganma politely refused for decent reasons. The Song mixed the human vocal cords with the frog/toad ones, meaning both the human and frog (for him) vocal cords needed to be beautiful for singing and able to sync up. His own song was put to shame by Minato's own song. "Just got off work too... need to be relaxed."
"Nice bail," Mina giggled with a shake of her head. "He probably just doesn't want to sing in front of his kids and get all embarrassed."
"Or he could be serious, it's really hard to tell." Midnight chipped in, her lips curling into a frown as she tried to get a read on the frog man. However his literal natural poker face basically made it impossible to see any distinguishing signs if he was bluffing or not.
Tsuyu just nodded in acceptance.
-With Midnight-
"Homework... I hated it as a student, and I hate it as a teacher. Still, hard to believe there are students this stupid too." Nemuri said mostly to herself, finished grading all of the homework she had to deal with.
"Well at least we aren't the only ones who have to suffer through the crap." Mina said with a justified smirk at seeing their teacher having to struggle with homework as well, earning herself a dour look from said woman.
"Just for that, I'm giving you a double assignment next class."
"…Crap."
She was sitting at the kitchen table, in just a sweater and her panties, glasses on her face with her hair set back, legs curled up into her chest. "I swear, a good cup of tea, and I'll be out for the night... hmmm?" Nemuri stopped what she was doing when she heard something coming from the hallway.
It was beautiful.
Everyone in the classroom froze as an enchantingly soothing sound filled the air, slipping into their ears like warm silk and reverberating through their very beings.
It was inhuman and human, instantly, her mind started to go a little blank as she felt herself starting to drift off into a pleasurable daze. It was hypnotizing in how it drew her stressed mind in, and dropped her guard, her eyes struggled to stay open as she hugged her knees and started to relax herself into the sound. Words didn't register in her mind, she didn't know what the lyrics were, and she couldn't tell you a single word she was wearing.
There were words to the song, and the words were in Japanese... so naturally, by all means, she should be able to understand the song being sung. Still though, it was like their was such an inhuman quality about the song, that her mind just couldn't understand the lyrics.
"Whoa… that is nice… relaxing…" Mei eyes slowly glazed over as she spoke, a dreamy smile forming on her lips as she swayed her head to the tune. Closing her eyes and softly humming along, she never even noticed the machine she was tinkering with slipping from her grasp and clattered to the floor. "I could listen to this all day…"
"Indeed, it is very pleasant." An equally dopey faced Momo mumbled with a nod as she sank further into her seat, her eyelids fluttering tiredly.
Similar reactions to the music could be found throughout the room, with Mirko yawning with her ears drooping, Iida's eyes flickering with a muffled yawn, Midnight and Shoto rubbing their eyes sleepily, and Mina…
"Zzzz… Zzzz… Zzzz…"
Yeah she was out like a light already, slumped against Tsuyu's shoulder.
Speaking of the frog girl though, oddly enough she seemed anything BUT relaxed. Her entire body was tense and she was tapping her lips so fast the tender tissue was started to redden from the constant impacts.
'... I could listen to this forever... Naruto should just sit down and relax like this now, since he has school tomorrow.' Nemuri thought to herself as she saw Naruto walking down the hallway, towards the fridge, with a medical mask still on his face, seeing as he was still sick, just well enough to leave the hospital. Her ears sort of tracked the source of the sound move from the hallway, to the front of the fridge, where Naruto was standing right now.
Strange.
"My other must… really be out of it… if she can't even figure out he's the one singing." The 'real' purplette mumbled, having to stop every few words as she struggled to keep her eyes open.
"Yeah, real no brainer there, even I could have figured that out." Mirko agreed as she slowly nodded her head before resting it on the palm of her hand with a deep yawn.
It didn't matter though, this song was putting her to sleep, the longer it went on, the less she found herself caring about anything. She just wanted to slowly bask in the sounds filling her ears, slowly, as all other sounds in the world were drowned out.
Nemuri snapped awake when the song ended.
Midnight jerked back to full alertness at the same time, blinking several times and shaking her head as the effects of the song wore off. "Holy shit, that is a dangerous ability."
"No kidding," Shoto said once he snapped out of his own daze, glancing around to see that Momo and Mei had both succumbed to the song already. The former had crumpled onto the floor at some point, snoring softly as she lay spayed out like a ragdoll, whilst the latter had fallen backward in her seat with her head dangling upside down, trails of drool dribbling across her face. He then glanced over at Iida, who'd drifted off as well if the muffled snores were to go by, which funnily enough sounded almost identical to an engine revving. "Should we wake them up?"
His answer came in the form of a balled up wrapper smacking into the side of his head, curtesy of a certain bunny heroine. "Don't even think about it, they snooze so they lose."
'Oh thank goodness…' Meanwhile, unnoticed by anyone else, Tsuyu relaxed as soon as the singing stopped with a quiet croak of relief. A very small amount of red blossomed on her cheeks as she avoided meeting anyone's gaze and tried to make herself as small as possible in her seat.
Naruto was drinking some cold tea from the fridge, having started to drink at the exact same moment that the voice stopped singing. Nemuri started to look around to try and figure out what the hell just happened to her, quickly rubbing her tired eyes when she realized that she had nearly been put to sleep.
"Did you hear that Naruto?"
"Wow… I must really be out of it still…" The adult rated heroine muttered to herself with a shake of her head when her counterpart asked that since it should have been quite obvious where the singing had come from. She couldn't blame herself though, she was still having a bit of trouble thinking straight too.
"... Aaaaah." Naruto finished drinking, before he looked towards Nemuri with a dull face. "Hear what?" Naruto asked her, since he didn't hear anything unusual.
"So he doesn't even notice that he's singing? How could he not realize he was singing?" A confused Shoto asked with his brow raising up into his hairline.
Rubbing her chin in thought, Midnight hummed under her breath as she mulled it over for a minute. "I think it's more like he's so used to singing without anyone bringing it up that he doesn't realize it'd be odd for myself, force of habit if you will."
"Ah, understood."
Closing the fridge, Naruto started to walk back to his room.
The sound started to play again, and Nemuri's eyes widened when she realized where the sound was coming from.
'Oh no.' Tsuyu groaned mentally with her body tensing up again as the music continued.
"And here we gooooooo again," Mirko muttered as music filled the air again, dragging out the O as she yawned deeply midsentence. "Kinda wish I could record this or something."
"For sure." Midnight agreed before discreetly pulling her phone out and hitting the record button with a smirk.
-Asui Family-
"Several teachers had to put an end to that though, since while the song he made came from his Toad Quirk, with his human vocal cords, it affected humans too. Minato didn't even know he was doing it, but he was causing people to become attached to him, because his song would directly affect people's brains." Ganma tapped the side of his head where his brain was.
"Ribbit, I can definitely see why they would, that could be pretty-hey, wait a second," Tsuyu started to say, relieved at the change of scene, only to cut herself off mid-sentence when she noticed something odd. "It's at my house now, why can we still hear is singing?"
"I have no idea, you'd have to ask Mei." Midnight mumbled with a shrug while jabbing a thumb towards the sleeping genius.
Beru looked at him with some confusion, since she didn't know this part of the story, not that they ever spent time talking about Minato before now. They just both knew who he was, so they could both share facts about him.
"Really now?"
"Yes, since most men born with animal-mutation Quirks look like the animals they represent and less human, our vocal cords are more similar to the animal mutation. Minato looked extremely human, so his Toad Quirk let him use Toad calls, and it mixed with his human cords to be able to affect other humans. His singing caused people's brains to start to produce hormones, so Minato was told by the professor's to stop singing... his music could cause people to become emotionally attached to him, and even fall in love with him." Ganma explained that part of the story to his surprised wife. Even years later, she was still a slight victim to the attachment effect, since she still longed to hear his voice again singing.
Minato had become forbidden from singing in public places, since his song affected different people differently as well. Not everyone reacted exactly the same, but one of the basics was the fact that almost everyone who heard his voice was put into an almost hypnotic state.
"Oh that… is so… fucking… ha…zzzz zzzz" And down went the bunny hero, her head slumping to the side as she conked out completely right in the middle of complaining.
"Ha… I stayed up longer than her… not gonna let her live this down for a while." Midnight said as she held up her hand in a victory sign.
"Onii-san is even better than Onee-chan at ceiling walking."
While the adults (and Tsuyu) were having this conversation, the younger children were still talking about the boy that Samidare met at the hospital.
"Cool."
"Hehe… you hear that Tsuyu, sounds like you got yourself some competition for best sibling." Midnight said as she playfully nudged the frog girl's side with a giggle… or at least she tried too. Instead her elbow ended up simply hitting an empty chair while the real Tsuyu took a seat much farther away from the adult rated heroine.
"Yeah, c-competition, very funny r-ribbit." She said quickly, fidgeting in her new seat nervously as she undid her braid so her hair draped over her face, hiding it from view. This caused Midnight to raise a brow, but she just chalked it up to the song making the girl sleep addled like everyone else.
"He's going to be attending U.A.'s General Studies course, Class C he said... I asked him why he didn't want to be a hero, and he just mentioned he had something way cooler for his future."
"Hehe yeah, being the coolest villain ever." Midnight giggled out in an almost drunken-like manner, even complete with a slight hiccupping.
-Back with Naruto-
Naruto sang to himself as he thought about how he was going to make going to U.A. turn into something he could take advantage of. If he wanted to start his own orphanage to make up for the one that he lost, then he needed to graduate U.A. and build himself up as a reliable person. Still, he couldn't neglect to take his villain duties seriously either, he needed to find a way to balance his student life with his villain life, and for that he would need to contact Pop Step some more to set up some alibis ahead of time.
"Hey Naruto?"
"Hmmm?" Naruto stopped singing when he saw Nemuri outside his room, looking through a crack between the doorframe and the door.
'Oh thank god!' Tsuyu sighed in relief as the singing stopped again. She gasped raggedly for air and her entire face was a bright flushed red as she rubbed her thighs together. That song had been pushing all of her buttons, revving her engine, fanning the flames of her desires, call it what you will she was feeling it big time. 'Nnng… for the love of everything, please don't sing anymore! I don't think I could stand another second.'
"It's getting pretty late, and so maybe you should go to sleep... if you want to grow taller, you'll need your sleep." Nemuri said with a forced smile on her face. As much as she wanted to listen to his singing some more, she knew that he would be up all night if she didn't tell this to him. "Also... your singing is making me pretty tired, so I'm going to sleep too. Good night."
Naruto blinked and scratched the side of his head.
Whoops, he was so used to singing to the orphans to help them sleep, that he must have been doing it without thinking about it. He didn't know why, but whenever he sang, people would fall enter a daze or fall asleep. The children would just fall asleep, while the caretakers who overheard him would enter a daze, and become really uncomfortable when he stopped singing.
"Looks like you were right sensei, ribbit." Wrangling her urges down as best she could, Tsuyu tried to get her mind off the burning of her loins with some banter… only to croak in confusion when she was met with silence. The reason for her silence was soon revealed when the amphibious teen looked over and found her teacher had taken an express trip to dreamland along with Shoto, leaving her as the sole remaining conscious individual in the room. 'Well… at least I don't have to worry about embarrassing myself anymore.'
Now she just had to pray that that accursedly beautiful song didn't play again, otherwise she might just lose it completely.
"Night." Naruto wasn't going to say "good night", but he just waved to her, and started to get ready for bed.
U.A. didn't know it, but they were going to take his villain career to the next level.
'Well… that's convenient.' Tsuyu thought when the projected faded away, leaving her with nothing to watch but a buffering message. She wasn't gonna complain though and simply thanked whatever deity was listening for the small mercy as she got up from her seat.
Deciding it was safer to just let everyone else keep sleeping, the horny frog girl made a beeline for the door with the intent of heading straight for her dorm room so she could 'calm down' in solitude.
'Times like this I really wish I could take a cold shower,' She grumbled mentally as she tried to compose herself as best she could before. 'It's alright, just need to keep my mind off hot whiskered blo-'
"Hello."
"RIBBIT!?" Like a scene straight out of a cartoon, Tsuyu jumped straight up onto the ceiling with a startled shout as she opened the door to reveal none other than the very blonde she had been trying not to think about standing right in front of her.
"Huh?" Peeking his head in the doorway, one Naruto Uzumaki stared up that panting frog girl before his gaze drifted down towards the unconscious teens and women. "Am I intruding on something?"
