And we are back baby-sorry for the delay-I actually had a bit of writers block for this; despite having everything laid out and ready for changes-so I decided to take it slow and work on it piece by piece over one bulk run, and I gotta say this one turned out decently.

Please enjoy Chapter 6


"How are you holding up?" the baritone voice of his mentor asked.

"How do you expect?" Naruto asked All Might with a bored tone.

All of the physical training he was going through wasn't helping him all that much.

His body was already amazingly toned and athletic thanks to the fact he already had been training to become a hero, even before meeting All Might.

It had been his dream since he was as young as four, so naturally he spent a lot of time working towards it.

Of course, currently the Pro-Hero All Might was in his skinny form, so Naruto wasn't addressing him as All Might at all.

That was for multiple reasons to be honest.

"Not... great..." the young heroine in training huffed out in exhaustion.

"Hurry up Oh-chunko." Naruto stated with a grin on his face. He was carrying over twice his body weight over his body with added on weights, and though he had been cut to less than half of his normal speed, he was still moving slightly faster than Ochako was.

She was sweating more heavily than he was, and was wearing sweat pants and a normal T-shirt. She had sweat stains under her boobs and under her pits, and overall wasn't in a great condition. Don't get the wrong idea-she was a healthy and toned girl, athletic as she was bubbly, but she just couldn't compete with Naruto's physical condition.

She refused to believe that his stamina was related to anything other than his Quirk.

The golden haired monkey-boy was like the damned energizer bunny on cocaine and steroids!

It honestly had nothing to do with his Quirk though.

"I'm... not fat. I'm just not... in as great a shape... as you." Ochako pushed herself to keep running at her current speed, since while she didn't have any added weight to her, running for 2 hours was still something her body was not suited for. They had yet to take a break, and she had joined Naruto and Toshinori when she saw Naruto leaving the apartment building in a track suit, "Yagi-san... you said that you work for All Might, right?" Ochako asked as she slowed down even more while talking.

She started to speed up and slow down depending on if she were talking or not.

"Yes, I file his paperwork for him. I'm his top office worker, though I like to keep physically fit. He asked me to go jogging with Naruto." Toshinori stated, and Naruto just raised an eyebrow at him.

Why not just come clean and tell Ochako that he was All Might, without revealing his Quirk or any of the major details?

The need to keep his muscle and shrunken form separate wasn't really needed when Naruto and Ochako were good friends.

"You're going to love running the way back." Naruto told Ochako, and she groaned.

"AH, that SUCKS... Hero training SUCKS, but I NEED IT!" Ochako was working for the hero dream too, and she was going to have to take the Entrance Exams unlike Naruto who was getting in on the recommendation of 2 different people.

David Shield AND Nagato Uzumaki.

All Might's costume designer and legendary scientist, and the Puppet Hero: Pain were both people who could give recommendations worth getting a person into UA.

While All Might didn't want to give Naruto any special treatment, it would seem that sentiment did not extend to David and Nagato.

Nagato planned on giving UA a recommendation for Naruto anyway. He was powerful, his Quirk was uniquely gifted for combat, meaning his potential to fight against those who were not the normal law abiding citizen or hero were in for a rough time.

Add in the fact that he was a sports competitor allowed for many sponsors to watch him-meaning David could be seen as a technical sponsor as he had witnessed Naruto's one sided dishing of punishment towards the narcissistic Uchiha Clan-which was usually a major NO-NO in any fashion; but assurances from the head of the Uchiha Yakuza family allowed Naruto to breathe easier.

Three of the brother's were undergoing rehabilitation therapy-again.

Itachi was stepping away from the families activities-apparently he wanted to become a lawyer for Quirk Crime, and he had even apologized to Naruto for the illicit language towards his family. Apparently Fugaku had been watching the fight and found that his sons were in need of a stern lesson of humility, but was only capable of punishing two of his five sons-Izuna and Shisui were going to receive a larger punishment when their stay at the hospital was said and done.

Sasuke expressed his desire to try and become a Hero himself, but at the same time, he also wanted to stay and take over his family's business at the same time.

Naruto was pulled from his thoughts on the Uchiha's when Ochako huffed towards him, "How... can you... do this... so easily?" in a demanding tone.

"If it's that much of a hassle, I'll carry you on the way back." Naruto offered Ochako with a shrug. He didn't mind, she was working harder than she usually would to keep up with him. When they started to run, she had been going faster than him for over 45 minutes as he had been weighed down. Then as time went on, her speed just got worse and worse until she wasn't really much competition for him even with the added weight.

Toshinori saw storm clouds beginning to gather, and he felt a couple of rain drops fall down. The early signs of a heavy rain, so he looked back at Naruto.

'Naruto... you really did work really hard even before meeting me. You're Quirk is perfectly suited to battle, but you were never able to see how far your limits could reach... so you trained yourself to be able to fight people without needing a Quirk for battle.' Toshinori glanced back at Naruto barely even breaking a sweat. He had to admit that he was rather amazed by how determined Naruto must have been ever since he was a child, because it was certainly showing with how even this training in preparation for receiving One for All wasn't doing much.

He would say that as Naruto was right now, his body would be able to handle using at least 45% or 50% of his Quirk from the beginning.

"Here, lets stop and avoid the rain-" Toshinori started, but then a crash of thunder sounded; and seconds later the rain started to completely pour down on them, "Or we could just get rained on before I finish my sentence." he muttered.

They were all soaked before they could escape into the nearest convenience store.

Toshinori's phone started to ring, causing him to stop as he pulled it out to answer it. The Pro-hero listened to the speaker on the other end for a few moments before he hung up, "... Naruto, Uraraka-san, you two go on home. I've got some business to do, do you have enough money for a bus or train?" Toshinori reached into his pocket, prepared to give them both the money to take whatever transportation they needed home. He had some important work he needed to go do, that he had forgotten to do in the first place because he was excited to be able to go jogging with Naruto.

"What do you MEAN I can't advertise my babies here!?" a familiar voice demanded angrily.

FUCK!

"... A refreshing run in the rain doesn't sound so bad to me." Naruto stated as he waved off Toshinori's money.

He really didn't like hearing that voice.

"Speak for yourself, I think taking a train sounds great right about... woah..." Ochako was stunned when she looked at the sound of the voice while she was speaking, and when she saw the girl, her eyes widened for a second.

...Boobs...

Big boobs, bigger than her own boobs by a fair amount for sure, and they were currently in a drenched shirt that clung to them. She had nicely sized and shaped boobs, but these boobs blew her out of the water for sure. She looked at Naruto, and then down at her own shirt, seeing that her sports bra was already visible, but it was a sports bra so it didn't matter.

That girl wore no bra, meaning she shouldn't let Naruto see this girl right now.

As for why, she didn't really know, she just didn't want Naruto to see the girl's almost revealed boobs.

"Ah! That rain came out of nowhere!" another voice exclaimed in shock as a skinny kid with dark green hair came running into the building with his book bag over his head. He was smiling to himself, and quickly turned bright red when he saw Mei Hatsume, and he avoided going into that part of the store.

"Come on, I even tested these babies out at the I-Expo recently! They work for sure, you can let me advertise them to people. These Goggles, and this Hero Supplement equipment would be great for your store to show off!" Mei told the cashier.

"Hero supplement equipment, I want to see that!" The boy with freckles and green hair had sparkling eyes as he looked towards the girl.

Naruto leaned towards Ochako, "Lets sacrifice him, and make our escape... that girl is bat-shit crazy. I saw her at the I-Expo, and there is little she won't do to show off her inventions. Her stuff blew up on me when I wanted a headband." Naruto whispered to Ochako, and she was surprised, before she nodded her head. It would seem that Naruto didn't want to be caught up in that girl's chaos, and didn't even want to be noticed by her, "I can respect her spirit, but she has a complete lack of care for her own body... and the bodies of others. That kid showing any interest in her inventions..." Naruto could see the kid being sacrificed so that he could escape as his best method for getting out of here without exploding.

But then...

Naruto's inner goodness decided to rear it's ugly head.

"Oh, what is this?" The boy asked as he looked at an invention that Mei was showing off, and Naruto gripped his hand into a shaking fist as he tried to resist the urge to save the boy.

"Oh, this is my wrist mounted pressure cannon. By sucking in air and pressurizing it, it will shoot the air out of the back of it and make punches and kicks faster than before. Made for any hero with low physical strength!"

"Oooooooh, this is so interesting... can this help a guy without a Quirk to keep up with people that have Quirks?" The boy asked with a glint in his eye.

Mei grinned.

"I don't see why not! Since you've got hope in those eyes, you must be a Quirkless loser that wants to keep up with the rest of society!" Mei stated an absolutely destructive line with zero understanding that the boy's face dropped like a sack of bricks into a river. Mei attached her device to the boy's wrists without any hesitation, "Seeing as since I don't have a proper test subject right now-" she prattled on about her things happily to the boy as if he were some special work case.

Yup, that settled it.

Naruto did not feel even slightly bad that he turned her down.

His dick might want to bone her, but his brain let him know that he didn't want to go down that route, no matter how stacked her chest was.

He had been avoiding her phone calls like crazy.

The nudes she sent... not so much-what, good fap material was hard to come by and he was a teenage boy.

"... I can be your test subject... I want to become a Hero more than anything, and if I can use this equipment to make up for being Quirkless... I'll do it." The boy spoke with the sparkle in his eyes returned.

Ochako smiled and turned to Naruto as they scooted away from Mei's view.

"He reminds me of you almost. Not only that, but we seem like about the same age as him." Ochako could remember Naruto wanting to be a Hero.

Having a Quirk that was able to virtually control any form of molecular structure or bond was all but guaranteed to be Hero Material.

Ironically enough, Naruto's Great-Uncle Ashina was one of the best combatants in history-and had once been called the "Raging Monster' for his Quirk alone. Ashina Uzumaki had possessed a incredibly useful Quirk-but in the sense he was seen as all but Quirkless. However, the man had trained himself to fight the best of them and was heralded as one of the best.

That was why Naruto spent so much time training, because-despite his Quirk was so incredibly powerful compared to everyone else's Quirk-he didn't know how to truly use it in a fight. He could use in a variety of ways, but he was unable to harness it as he normally would if he hadn't been stopped by Mito.

"Oh, that sounds like a great deal to me! Use my babies all you want to become a Hero, in exchange for being my test subject you can use all the Proto-types I make." Mei offered the boy, "You seem smart to recognize how great my babies are, so I'm sure that everything will work out in the end! Actually, you being a Quirkless loser makes this even better... it allows me to show off the fact that my babies are super awesome!" Mei spared no punches against this kid at all, preparing to use his dream to be a hero to her own advantage to allow her to make her inventions even more popular.

Naruto wanted to cry...he was too late.

He had been unable to save this poor kid from the craziness that was Mei Hatsume, the boy had been far too eager and he had been too slow in his reaction.

"Thank you! I'm Izuku Midoriya-"

Poor Izuku, he didn't know what he was getting himself into.

"Lets get out of here-" Naruto started to take off his jacket, and he tossed it on top of Ochako's head so that she could be better protected from the rain. She nodded her head and climbed up onto his back and let him grasp onto her thighs. She used her arms to make the jacket cover the two of them and shield them from the rain. "-and just like that, we have formed a Hero team... Heavy Violence!" Naruto declared as he grinned at the stupid name.

The opposite of Zero Gravity was Heavy.

The opposite of Helping was Violence.

It was a stupid name that took the opposite of their Quirks and put them together to form a stupid Hero Team name, but he liked it anyway.

It did take their personalities into account though.

"Onward then my trusted steed!" Ochako called out as Naruto started to run.

Thus, Team: Heavy Violence was born.

All heroes needed team names when they worked together with each other, and two young heroes in training would naturally start to name their teams before they even started to be real heroes.

They didn't even get 30 feet out of the convenience store before the rain got 5 times heavier than it started out, and they got completely and utterly soaked to the bone.

-Later-

"... I warned you to take an umbrella... Ochako-chan, your parents will be home late because of the storm. You can use our shower and stay for dinner... Naruto, since you're a boy I expect you to wait until Ochako-chan is done before taking a shower."

"Yes, Granny Mito." Naruto and Ochako were completely soaked.

Mito had a smug, yet kind, smile that she showed them since she had warned Naruto to take an umbrella with him when he went running. Her old bones had been aching, so she knew a bad storm was on it's way.

Youngsters needed to listen to their elders.

~XxX~

Several months would pass-nothing major would happen, and things moved on as normal.

Then, Naruto had received a call-come to the hospital.

Seemed important, and he was curious why he was being asked to come to the hospital.

Maybe Nagato had an accident and needed help talking?

"… So… why are we going to the hospital?"

Ochako wasn't sure why she was going with Naruto to the hospital. Of course, she was sure that she saw the eyes on his clothes blink as she asked that question, but she ignored it as a trick of her eyes. She had noticed this too, but no matter what clothes Naruto wore, there always seemed to be an red eye-design somewhere on it. His clothes looked a lot newer than before too, but she would just guess that Naruto was taking better care of his clothes now.

"Don't know, got a call, they said that it would be better not to go alone. Ugh, I hate hospitals, they smell so… unnatural." Naruto shivered when they walked into the front of the building. He hated them with a passion, since he had never had a good experience with one before.

He hated them with a passion.

"Naruto… is that you?"

"Konan?" Naruto asked as he looked for the source of the voice.

One of the people that Nagato worked with and was close with. A woman who went by the hero name "Paper Hero: Angelwing", real name Konan. He heard her voice, and he could guess that she was sitting in the reception room.

Naruto looked at her.

She had a visibly broken arm, and bandages around her right eye, with her left eye puffy and bruised up. Injuries of this level happened to heroes from time to time, but usually heroes as powerful as Konan avoided such injuries. Hell, she was a candidate for the Top 10 Heroes for her Quirk alone. His eyes widened a little at the extent of her injuries, since she had identified him by voice and not sight, he could tell that she wasn't able to see much of anything at the moment.

"Konan!? What happened!?" Ochako shouted in surprise, and Konan took the chance to stand up and limped towards them.

She could still stand.

"There was an incident with a villain, he managed to get the drop on us as we were chasing down a man who kidnapped Karin. I don't know what happened to Nagato, I passed out when the villain blew himself up when we captured him." Konan gave a summary of the situation. She had taken a lot of damage, but she was mostly fine. Her vision was never going to completely recover in her right eye, but she would still have some vision. She was going to make a near full recovery, other than some slight vision issues.

Still, she felt nothing but shame.

Nagato's niece had been kidnapped by a villain, while another villain managed to stop them from getting her back before it was too late. Her injuries recovering meant nothing when Nagato had lost a family member, when they had almost none of them left.

It was just him, Mito, Karin, and Naruto.

That was all that remained of their Clan now, and since Karin's kidnapper got away it could be assumed they might never see her alive again.

Ochako flinched when she saw Naruto's face.

"What happened to Karin?" he growled-a stern expression shown as he heard the words.

"It was the cannibal villain Moonfish that escaped with her, I'm sorry we couldn't get to her. I'm sure that Nagato will need his family next to him when he gets here." Konan hadn't seen Nagato yet, but since he wasn't a patient at the hospital he must have escaped the explosion and decided to give chase to the kidnappers. It was doubtful he would catch them though.

Uzumaki were tough bastards, even a crippled Uzumaki like Nagato.

Even an elderly Uzumaki like Mito.

Naruto was always a hyperactive loon-and he fought with heart.

The Uzumaki family were as tough as they came.

"Naruto Uzumaki I presume… can I get you a cup of tea, please take a seat?" a police officer came up to them politely.

"I would love-" Ochako started.

"Who died?" Naruto asked roughly, with a deep frown on his face.

Konan gasped when she made the sudden realization of what Naruto being at the hospital at all meant. She would have just assumed he was here for a check up and it was a coincidence that she happened to catch him while waiting for Nagato...but then that meant...

Nagato wasn't coming.

"Please, sit down Uzumaki-san… I want to keep this as calm for you as possible. I'm sure that this won't be a happy experience for you… so take as long as you need. I need you to identify a body, I took a few pictures for you to look at. We would prefer not to make anything official without first confirming." The officer didn't introduce himself, and he purposely didn't have his name tag on. It would seem that he had came prepared for some kind of reaction that might not be good, because he had purposely left his gun off of his body as well.

He was trying to seem as non-threatening as possible.

"… Nagato's not dead." Konan denied as Naruto sat down, Ochako sitting down next to him as a couple of pictures were put down in front of him.

Ochako didn't look at the pictures, but Naruto did.

Naruto only needed a glimpse to know who it was, "Yea… That's him, that's Nagato Uzumaki." he said stoically. His body was shaking, he didn't want to break down in front of anyone-this wasn't something to make a scene about in a public location, "Ochako, I'm going home… can you stay here for me?" Naruto looked at the shocked Konan, unable to comfort her himself. He didn't know what he was feeling-he couldn't explain it properly.

He felt a sort of dull numbness as he looked at pictures of Nagato, dead and scorched up.

Looking at the pictures, and at Konan, he could tell what happened, and he didn't want to be the one to comfort her. He knew it wasn't her fault at heart, but he refused to be the person who helped her deal with this.

Nagato died protecting her, using his frail body to shield her, which meant that his body been rapidly propelled by the explosion to the point it had ended up hurting Konan and then killed him.

"Aaaaah!" Konan wailed in agony, her hands clasping down on the sides of her head as large tears began to fall down her cheeks.

Nagato and Konan had grown up together, became heroes together-then a friend had died protecting them when Naruto was a baby, Hell, The fight had required the combined efforts of All Might and several other heroes; in fact-it was when Nagato had started his career and formed the Hero Team-Team Akatsuki-Crimson Moon, to unveil the darkness of evil.

Now she was all that remained of that team.

"… Yeah, I'll stay." Ochako knew Naruto barely used her real name like that, and when he did he was being completely serious with her. His face was filled without a ounce of emotion; but she could almost sense the barely contained rage, and part of it was directed at Konan.

His brain might understand that what happened wasn't her fault.

His heart was angry with Konan for surviving, while Nagato died.

His heart was also happy that Konan survived, that Nagato's sacrifice was not in vain.

He didn't know what to feel, but he couldn't comfort her or be around her.

He needed to go home and tell Mito what happened, since she knew Nagato for longer than he knew the man.

She would take it far more harshly, and he needed to be there for her.

Karin was also gone, and they didn't know if she was alive or not.

He needed to break the news to her as gently as he could, and he needed to be there for her when she needed him.

He needed to be strong.

So Naruto walked out of the hospital, leaving behind Ochako and Konan.

Naruto didn't look back, even though he could hear Konan's wails of emotional pain.

He needed to be strong, but he wasn't strong enough to ignore his own conflicted heart.

The main question on his mind was; 'Why would anyone want to kidnap Karin?' her Quirk was not of any use unless a person was injured.

Naruto took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it before he started, he needed to focus his thoughts on what he was going to tell Mito.

He continued to walk, and he thought about picking up Mito her favorite tea to help soften the blow.

He didn't do it though, because as he thought about it, that was a pretty crappy thing to do for somebody.

Try to smooth over somebodies death with a favorite food or drink was like saying that their life was only worth the drink. Mito was like his grandmother, she raised him, so he was going to trust that she was strong enough to take the death well. He didn't know how he was going to tell her though.

Eventually, before Naruto even realized it, he was home.

He had been so caught up in his thoughts, he barely noticed as time passed and he got to the front door of the apartment.

"… Granny Mito, I'm home…" Naruto stated as he opened the door.

She wasn't in the living room, right, this was about the time of day that she would take a shower so that she could refresh herself. Naruto walked across the apartment, and he could hear the water running in the bathroom.

He knocked on the door, to let her know that he was there.

"Granny Mito… can you hurry up just this once? I've got bad news about Nagato, I want to talk with you face to face though to explain it." Naruto spoke loud enough that she would easily hear him through the door.

Nothing.

Naruto took a deep breath.

"I'll… be waiting in the other room. Take all the time you need to get emotionally ready. I'll be here for you when you come out." Naruto was quieter when he spoke, since he was sure that she got the news.

He wouldn't diminish Nagato's death by buying her a gift of tea, but he would make a pot of tea so that she could have something relaxing to drink when everything was told to her.

He didn't know what he was doing, his heart and brain were conflicting, and he didn't know what he was suppose to do in this situation.

He needed to be strong.

Naruto got his phone out and dialed.

"This is Nagato's phone, I'm away right now, please leave me a message and I'll be right there for you."

Nagato's voice.

"Sorry to bother you… but I'm not sure what to do. Somebody really important to me died, and I need to break the news to Granny Mito. You're a Pro Hero, so I'm sure you would know what to do right now." Naruto spoke into the phone with a small smile on his face.

Naruto hung up, before he dialed again.

"This is Nagato's phone, I'm away right now, please leave me a message and I'll be right there for you."

"Is this how you felt when Ma and Pa died? How you explained it to Granny Mito? I'm so sorry you had to go through that, don't rush to get back to me. I just wanted to let you know that you were like an older brother to me." Naruto continued what he was saying before after getting more strength from Nagato's voice.

This was helping him.

Being able to hear Nagato's voice, even if it was just a recording, was helping him clear his mind a little. Naruto continued to listen to the recording and talk to it for awhile, before the tea started to go off.

Naruto got up and poured himself and Mito a cup of tea, before he brought them to the couch and sat down.

Time passed, and the tea got cold.

"This is Nagato's phone, I'm away right now, please leave me a message and I'll be right there for you."

"Nagato… I'm scared. Granny Mito… she's not coming out of the bathroom. I'm scared to try and see if she's okay… please...give me the strength to check." Naruto got the courage to stand up as he walked towards the bathroom.

Opening a bathroom door was the difference.

It was the difference between a very bad day, and the worst day of Naruto's life.

~xxXXxx-XxX-xxXXxx~

The apartment had quiet music playing in the air.

It wasn't energetic but it wasn't mournful either. It was something in the background that reminded them of why they were here. A table had been set up in the parlor, against the wall. It was draped in black cloth. Flowers had been placed on it as a means of respect.

Naruto looked at the flowers. Not all of them were from Japan or the Philippines. There were also flowers from China that Mito had favored. There was even one bundle from Hong Kong, delivered by Konan personally. His eyes went up from the flowers to the photos placed there.

The pictures were reminders of who he had lost.

Heroes.

Family

Mentor's.

Guide's.

One of the pictures showed Nagato sitting with a blond male with their hands arranged into a peace symbol.

Another showed Mito with a pregnant redhead sitting next to the same blond male.

That was all Naruto had of them at the moment, just pictures.

"I've been to way too many funerals," he decided.

"It could be worse." Kurama added.

"What!? Kurama?"

"Yes."

"Why are you talking? How are you talking?"

"I'm a gathering of sophisticated nanomachines with an AI core based mindset. You are my host, your thoughts give clarity to my voice. We are one and the same."

"When did this happen?" Naruto demanded.

"I have always been able to communicate with you; you just never gave me a reason to speak."

"Why now, of all times?"

"Because, I am all you have left, and I cannot perform my duties in protecting you if you end up offing yourself."

"I ain't killing myself."

"No, but if you don't allow yourself to let them go, then you are destined for destruction. Feel free to mourn what you have lost, cherish what you had."

"Thanks, but I feel there is more to this."

"Karin, the healer, is still very much alive."

"Wait, you know where she is?!"

"No, I am bound to you, and you alone. I am unable to track or locate those I am not programmed to directly fight for."

"Dammit!"

"Look alive, you have been spacing out for a minute now."

He turned around.

Everyone was standing in place, waiting on him.

He was the one who was supposed to start with a speech of some sort.

He didn't have anything written down.

Instead-he just spoke from the heart, "We are gathered here today to not only remember my great aunt Mito," he began, "but a hero who died doing what he believed was right-Nagato Uzumaki." he started.

His voice was almost hallow with how he spoke, but he continued strongly "They both touched each our lives in different ways. They were friends, heroes; and to some they were more than that. Nagato was tasked with protecting his only niece, and he was a devoted guardian that loved wholly. Karin was his duty, and he died trying to make right and sure she was safe. And Grandma Mito…well, she was a old bird with more wisdom than most libraries. However, it was a chore to stop her once she got going, especially when it came to tea. They may have left us, but that doesn't mean that they are not still with us."

He looked at the others. Ochako was in the front and Konan stood at the back, "I know some of us only knew them briefly, but it feels only right to ask; but would anyone like to say something about one of them?" he asked politely.

.

..

...

The funeral was small and only those who were invited to the apartment could attend the memorial.

Sadly, the Uzumaki family didn't have many friends-and Naruto invited all he could to the service.

Only about half of them arrived.

It was more than enough for Naruto though-cuz it showed they cared in some capacity.

When it was all said and done, Naruto simply asked for some time to himself-so he could mourn on his own.

~xxXXxx-XxX-xxXXxx~

"How do you feel Naruto?"

"… Not that different to be honest." Naruto admitted as he looked down at himself.

Toshinori looked down at Naruto, who had grown bigger in the months since.

He wished he could have been there for the boy at the funeral, but it had been a very private event he didn't feel he needed to be apart of.

Naruto had spent several weeks… just shut down.

He didn't answer calls or texts, he didn't really speak to anyone as he just stayed home and mourned for the loss of his family.

"It was much the same for me when my Master passed down One for All to me. How have you been feeling emotionally lately?" Toshinori wasn't sure how to handle dealing with Naruto. Naruto didn't talk about his family at all, not to him or even his friend.

Naruto refused to speak to anyone who mentioned his family or what his plans were, even to him.

Still, he needed to ask how Naruto felt.

"I don't know." he couldn't understand the emotions. He was usually a happy go lucky kid, but with the loss of what amounted to all his family he had known...he was lost on what he should feel.

'I remember his family once mentioned that an Uzumaki's Quirk is tied to emotional response… His Quirk is powered by his emotions, so his most normal emotional response would be anger; like his mother.' Toshinori tried to think of an accurate thought to rationalize Naruto's feelings. He noticed that despite Naruto's good heart, he seemed to get angry even more easily than the average person.

Just like how his family explained that his grand aunt Mito had to be more prone to calmness, and according to other heroes Nagato had been prone to sadness.

Toshinori passed down One for All to Naruto several months earlier than he originally planned for a reason.

It also seemed like a good present for the boy as he had recently turned 14-meaning that Naruto had a little over a year to get acclimated to its output and his strength.

Toshinori remembered that he was roughly the same age-maybe a little older-when he himself had inherited One for All from his own mentor; Gran Torino wasn't the best of trainers, but he helped him get into shape and readied him for a life of heroism.

As he focused, Naruto's thoughts turned to where everything had gone wrong.

Hero-Killer Stain had helped the Cannibal Villain in acquiring his cousin-for what purpose, he didn't know.

What he did know was this, 'Moonfish… I'm coming for you!' Naruto thought as he leaned down and focused his rage.

He was going to out Moonfish's heart.

He was gonna rip off Stains head.

They were not going to get away with what they had done to him or his family.

His eyes turned blood red.

They were going to be the only two people he ever killed.

But he also knew, he was going to enjoy getting his vengeance against them.

He was pulled from his dark thoughts as his new teacher cleared his throat, "On this island, nobody is going to get hurt during your time training in using One for All." the Symbol of Peace stated as he gripped a fist, and turned his back to his pupil, "To use it, clench your butt-cheeks together and just shout out a powerful SMASH as you unleash a punch!" Toshinori turned into his All Might form, and then to show what he meant-clenched his cheeks tightly.

Naruto looked at him with an annoyed glance for the stupid way he put that, but Naruto still followed the advice.

Naruto looked at All Might, "No." he decided.

"No?" Toshinori blinked in confusion.

He was describing to him how to use One for All in the same manner his own teacher-Nana Shimura-had done to him, was he confused or something?

"No, a punch won't do me any good." Naruto crossed his arms, and despite what he said, he still clenched his butt-cheeks together tightly.

Oh...Oh~...OH~

*Spark*

Naruto's hair glowed golden as he activated One for All, and two of locks of the hair on his forehead stood straight up like horns. Golden sparks started to fly out of his entire body, and those sparks turned into golden flames that started to erupt out of various parts of his body.

*CRACK*

Naruto's arm visibly broke and shattered, both his arms and legs cracked and bone under the immense strength that he was putting them under.

Toshinori felt his eyes widen is fear for his student, "Naruto, just focus on a punch, the rest can-" All Might stopped when Naruto jumped up into the air, and he was already at cloud level.

With a grunt of his own, All Might jumped up at full strength after Naruto to save him if he needed it.

Even at a high speed, he quickly caught up with Naruto.

His students arms and legs were even more broken.

Naruto's eyes glowed brighter red, and his arms and legs instantly healed as his whisker marks grew even thicker as well. The height of his rage could be seen on his face, and Naruto kept using 100% of One for All over the course of his entire body. Naruto threw a punch and dispelled the clouds, the arm he threw a punch with shattering and healing. He went flying backwards from the force of the punch, and All Might followed him.

'… I see… it doesn't matter if he can only handle 40% of the power. With his natural Quirk, so long as he is angry enough, he can handle 100%… I figured that he might be able to do this. I didn't think that his willpower and drive would be this strong.' All Might chased after Naruto, and in the distance he saw more clouds disappear. He saw Naruto changing direction in the sky, and more clouds vanished.

He was a glowing golden blur in the sky.

The pain Naruto was going through didn't matter in the slightest, as he focused completely on using One for All and channeling his rage.

'MOONFISH!'

Naruto was healing faster than his body was breaking. By the time any fractures or shattering happened in his bones, or muscles tore over his body, the damage was already healing. Naruto flew through the sky dispelling clouds using nothing but his punches and kicks.

"One for All: 100% Wrath of the Shifter!" Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs as he shot down towards the ground with a double kick. He threw light punches and slowed his descent, before he landed back on the island he started out on.

All Might landed on the ground behind him.

His eyes widened when he saw Naruto.

Naruto's body was visibly destroying and repairing constantly, showing that unlike mere minutes before, Naruto was now truly using 100% of the power over his entire body. His clothes burst and destroyed themselves, but thanks to his clothes being fused with the Kurama Ai program that was inside of his blood and DNA; the clothes that got destroyed were constantly repairing themselves as well. Just at a slower rate than the rest of his body, since the clothes weren't nearly as durable as Naruto's body was.

The use of the newly acquired Quirk the boy had gotten was stable.

It was perfect.

Naruto's body no longer sparked, and it no longer produced golden flames. Instead the changes stayed to his hair that glowed and stood on end, his whisker marks that turned into black bars, his eyes that were glowing a bright red and far more menacing than before. His body wore an extremely faint aura of gold instead, and with every breath he took it was like he was breathing visible rage.

He was smiling, a hero's grin.

'I'm coming for you Moonfish… I will make you regret what you did, to Nagato-Karin...me-and when that time comes, you and Stain both will regret the day you heard the name; Uzumaki.' Naruto's grin became wider, and he showed off his canines with his smile.

All Might looked at Naruto's hair, and he looked up at his own hair, and saw that when Naruto used One for All he gave similar hair horns to his own, just more shaggy in appearance.

'He's… like me.' All Might thought as he looked at Naruto.

Naruto was so driven by his goal, and his willpower was so strong, that he was able to bring out the full power of One for All from the very beginning.

He was inexperienced with the Quirk still, but with over a year of training that was to come-that wasn't going to be a problem.

Naruto's Quirk was Shift.

It allowed Naruto to change anything he holds or even his own bodies structure as he saw fit.

Cloning himself from strands of hairs.

Enlarging or shrinking objects with a simple touch-and even elongating.

Ever since Naruto's families deaths, his rage had been cultivating and focusing itself into a single thought. All Might didn't know what that thought was, but Naruto's drive to become a hero to accomplish whatever goal he had set for himself was great enough that he refused to do anything but master One for All with anything less than 100%.

Naruto stopped using One for All, and all the changes went back to normal.

'Moonfish...Stain... You will regret being my target.' Naruto thought as he bottled up his rage.

He needed to cultivate it further.

He wasn't ready to fight them quite yet.


Alright and that is a wrap for this chapter-next update should show the class coming together AFTER the Practical exam, and as somebody who has '2' recommendations to enter the school, Naruto has no need to take the exam, so is exempt in a similar fashion as Shoto and Momo were.

Oh, and Kurama makes a guest appearance as well-hope you liked that, he will definitely be having more screen time later.

And with that all said and done-please leave a LIKE/FAVORITE/FOLLOW to show me that the story is loved and do not forget to leave me a nice lengthy COMMENT/REVIEW to let me know what you thought of this latest update, and I will see you later.

1. To those worried Naruto mastered One for All too quickly-please remember the canon variant of Naruto: managed to master Sage Mode in 3 days, perfected the Rasenshuriken in 2 days.

Mastering impossible skills through determination and guts is kind of his thing.

2. What point of the story are we at?

It's around 13 months before the start of UA, meaning All Might will still have his powers during some of his time at UA, but his time limit will be much shorter by the time Naruto becomes a student. He will still be weakened by the loss of One for All, but not by much if he plays his cards right.

3. What about Izuku?

He's still going-just not with any type of quirk. Think of him as the 'Iron Man' of U.A and its students. By the time he enters, he will have a bit more of a spine, and his brains will be useful in designing equipment that will help him fight against people with Quirks thanks to Mei and her constant bugging.

4. What about the Uchiha?

We haven't seen the last of them-the next time you see them things will be different for them.

5. What about Naruto's hero outfit?

I got that covered, so no spoils as of yet.
