Inko was shocked to hear that name over the phone. Mr U apparently was this mysterious billionaire that was always right in which stock to put his money and every time he appeared was because he made another fortune.
''Mr U, as in the one from the TV?" Asked Inko in shock.
''Yes that's the one.'' Said Ubuyashiki.
The old woman just took a deep breath and continued to talk.
''So what can I help you with?" Asked her.
''Your son action caught my interest.'' Said Ubuyashiki
''He´s what?' Asked Inko.
''I was heling some screening about young people and their impossible dreams. Your son was one of the people that spoke about it, and I found fascinated his dream to become a hero. I decided that I want to help him.'' Said Ubuyashiki.
Inko was shocked to hear that. Izuku talked about his dream of being a hero with others? And he got the attention of Mr. U.
''Oh so you want to give him some money to help him find a new line of work?" Asked Inko a bit confused.
''No Miss Midoriya, I think you haven't understood what I want to achieve.'' Said him.
'What is it?" Asked Inko.
''I want to really help him be a hero.'' Said Ubuyashiki
Inko felt like someone stabbing her in the heart. Again with the hero talk, she was nervous mostly because someone like Izuku could get seriously injured with just a minor treat.
''Are you kidding?!'' Asked Inko nervous.
''No miss Midoriya.'' Said Ubuyashiki.
''Why? Why do you want to help him? Charity or publicity?!'' Asked Inko now in tears.
''Because I saw the good that he posses. Most people want to become heroes for money and fame. He wants to become a hero to help others and make the world a better place.'' Said Ubuyashiki
The woman was still not sure about that. She hated crushing Izuku dreams when he was a kid, but it was for his own good, he couldn't save himself from fighting other monsters.
''Izuku is quirkless.'' Said her.
''I understand. I am making a promise to make him the first quirkless student to graduate from UA.'' Said Ubuyashiki.
''You are a really serious about this?" Asked Inko
''Yes.'' Said Ubuyashiki serious.
''But he is fragile and can get hurt easily. I can just sit and watch my baby get hurt!'' Said Inko in tears.
Ubuyashiki just smile at that. He could really tell that this woman indee love her child very much.
''Miss Midoriya I understand. I am a father myself; I have five children and if something happens to them I dodnt know what I would do. Your son has the fire and determination that I have been seeking for a long time. Trust me, I thought of endorse someone for a long time but none of the people that I interviewed impressed me in the slightest. Your son really has the conditions to be one of the greatest heroes of this nation and I know of it.'' Said Ubuyashiki.
The woman didn't know what to say. She was almost lost for words. She never imagined someone having so munch faith in Izuku and the things that he could.
''I...'' Said Inko a bit lost.
''I promise to take care of him during training and we will keep you updated. We aren't going to make him forget who you are. Masters are one thing but family there is only one.'' Said Ubuyashiki.
Inko didn't know what to do. This was her son dreams and someone with a great amount of power was willing to make it happen, however she didn't know what could happen if Izuku wasn't careful
''Are you serious?" Asked Inko nervous.
''Your son has the potential. I know that he wants to do this.'' Said Ubuyashiki.
The woman didn't know if this was serious. Sounded too good to be true.
''Please, give me your approval.'' Asked Ubuyashiki.
Inko was a bit nervous and ready to say no, until…
''Mom, please let do this.'' Said Izuku serious
She looked at her son face. It wasn't the same as the one from the previous day, Izuku looked mature and serious about this. Like he heard an entire lecture and was ready to work his way to become a quirkless hero.
''Mr U….'' Said Inko nervous and Ubuyashiki knew what she was going to ask so he answered her.
''I promise to protect him.'' Said him.
The woman took a deep breah and gave her final answer.
''Then I approve Izuku being under your wing.'' Said her.
''Thank you.'' Said him.
''I will send the papers via email a few days later. Some people might come to talk, lawyers and other things. I promise that not a single yen will come out of your pocket during this whole process.'' Said him.
''Understood.'' Said her.
As Inko finished the talk she looked at her son.
''Izuku.'' Said her.
Izuku saw his mother worried face. He didn't like to make her cry, but he wanted to be a hero more than anything, so he need it to pass this test.
''You meet Mr U and talked to him? When did this happen?' Asked Inko
'Yes, it was on that night that I went on that walk. I bumped into him and told my frustration. He then talked to me and we discussed for hours about heroes. He liked me so much that he offered to helped me become a hero. Sorry for not calling you about this, he thought it would be better you find out later.'' Said Izuku.
Inko didn't like that her son lied to her, but she could understand the reasoning.
''You really want this?'' Asked her.
''I want more than anything in the world.'' Said Izuku.
She grabbed his hand and squeezed really hard. She looked nervous but Izuku kept with a serious face.
''I will prepare your information for later, help me separate.'' Said Inko.
''Yes mom.'' Said him.
''And promise to call me and not make me worry.'' Said her
''I promise.'' Said Izuku
She then hugged izuku hard and started to cry.
''I love you Izuku and I am sorry that I wasn't very supportive of your dream. You are my precious child, I don't want to lose you. So go and become the strongest hero possible.'' Said Inko pretty much crying a river of tears.
''Thank you mom. I promise you.'' Said Izuku also crying a lot.
The two kept hugging and crying for hours. At some points someone called wondering if there was a leak on the Midoriya´s apartment.
At the Demon Slayer headquarters.
Ubuyashiki was on his bed with his wife holding his hand.
''So did Inko-sama approved?' Asked Amane.
''Yes, she is a worried mother.'' Said Kagaya with a smile.
''Understandable. I would be too if any of our children were in Izuku-kun shoes.'' Said Amane.
Kagaya just smile as he hold his wife hand.
''He will have a hard time at first, but I am certain that he can keep in check of the demon world and the demons.'' Said Kagaya.
''You are very positive lately dear.'' Said Amane.
''I have faith on him.' Said Kagaya.
''Then we know that things will work great.'' Said Amane.
''Don't worry, I will make sure the hashira take good care of him.'' Said Kagaya.
''I know that most of them aren't the most careful. But it will be interesting seeing them training such a young child.
''Things have changed a lot recently. Not just with Izuku-kun, but also the story that Ginyu told us.'' Said Kagaya.
''Are you talking about the boy and his sister?' Asked Amane thinking of the story that Ginyu told them.
''Yes, even if this sounds impossible it was a miracle. A turned person that can keep their humanity in check. It's a blessing.'' Said Kagaya.
''But what if a demon attacks Izuku-kun? Who should keep an eye on his progress?" Asked Amane.
''Don't worry, I already have the perfect person for this position.'' Said Kagaya pushing a button.
Soon a person appeared on the room. She was a tall, beautiful woman, with long hair and had a white butterfly haori. She had some scars in her face, but she was still a beauty to behold.
''You called master?' Asked the woman.
''Yes Kanae, I would like you to keep an eye on an upcoming trainee that will come in a few days.'' Said Kagaya.
''Understood.' Said Kanae.
So this is the next step. Inko approved Izuku to be trained under Kagaya. She doesn't know that its demon slaying, all she thinks is that a billionaire is helping Izuku become a hero. This sounds legit.
Yes, this is a big retcon that I am doing here Kanae in this AU survived Doma attack. Here how it happened, Doma attacked her and was ready to kill her but then the sun appeared, and he flew away. Kanae spend months in treatment but survived, the problem was that she had to retired as a Hashira similar to Tengen. Shinobu spends months thinking that her sister might have died so she adopted the smiling feature, even when Kanae walked out of treatment she still continued to smile just for her sister. She still drop that smile when she with demons or with Ginyuu.
I wanna do this because I seen a lot of fanart of Kanae still alive and she is a very interesting character. Of course, she is the strongest Hashira woman and a very charming person. Let's see what she will do with Izuku.
She will be like a person of progress. Its not like Izuku its going to use Breath of Flower, she will keep an eye on his mental status and how he is doing. Similar to how Shinobu did with Tanjirou at the start. Ok, now everybody knows.
Next up is the start of Izuku training
