A/N: I would like to thank everyone that added this story to their favourites and follows as well as everyone that reviewed the last chapter.


"Kakashi-sensei, what are you doing here?"

Naruto tilted her head, eyebrows furrowed together at the sight of her teacher standing right in front of her. Kakashi wore a suit, looking almost uncomfortable at wearing something so formal. He tugged his collar and shifted in his spot, a lazy smile playing nervously on his lips.

"Your principal tricked me into teaching the students how to survive in the Elemental Countries," Kakashi explained. Naruto blinked and frowned, uncertain on how to feel at this knowledge. She raised her eyebrow at him.

He sighed. "Aizawa-san asked me to help him convince Nezu-san that it was a terrible idea for him to send the students to the Elemental Countries. Your principal used it as an opportunity to convince me to help teach the students on how to defend themselves with their Quirks."

"He must have gotten you real good if you agree to teach in a school."

Naruto loved Kakashi-sensei. He was one of the few people that acknowledged her in the village. The man used to check up on her in her apartment, bringing her vegetables and telling her to eat healthier. But he was not the type that could come to class on time. None of the students would be happy when Kakashi-sensei wouldn't show up to class on time.

"It was either that or the students go to the Elemental Countries without being prepared," Kakashi admitted. He looked at the smiling students that were now walking through the school gates. His eyes lingered at one of the students and Naruto followed his line of sight.

A spikey indigo-haired boy and a blond-haired boy had one arm slung over each other, a bright smile decorating their faces. She blinked when the two boys turned their attention to her. Indigo eyes grew large at the sight of her while the blond-haired boy nudged his arm at him.

The one thing that stood out to Naruto was how much the boy looked like Sasuke. A couple of months ago, she would have broken down at the sight of him. The sight of that teen reminded her of her biggest regret, the regret that caused her to run away like a coward. She tore her eyes away from them even though her heart and eyes begged to watch them.

"He really looks like him, doesn't he?" Kakashi commented lightly. "Except he looks more like the nervous type. Can you imagine Sasuke looking like this?"

The bastard looking like a nervous little boy? God Naruto would have paid a lot of money to see her best friend make an expression that wasn't a glare or a smirk. It would have made her a little bit pleased to know that even the great Sasuke could act like a shy little boy, not some cool asshole. Maybe the girls would have liked her best friend even less if he had been that way.

Idiot, don't tell Sakura where I am! I will buy you dinner if you hide me from her and all those fangirls!

She curled her lips into a smile. Naruto missed those innocent days where Sasuke would bribe her with ramen as he ran away from all those screaming girls. A part of her wondered if he missed those innocent days. Did he long to go back to those days too? Could they go back to those innocent days? They had changed too much in these three years.

She had a bad feeling about what was happening to her best friend.

"I miss him too," Kakashi admitted.

Naruto closed her eyes and stared at her schoolmates, watching them as they walked to the main courtyard where the opening ceremony was taking place. She should follow them, make sure that she didn't skip it but the small ache in her heart had gotten bigger. It always seemed to get larger whenever someone brought up the mention of her teammate.

"You know my classmates and friends in Japan don't seem to understand the bond that I have with Sasuke," Naruto twirled her fingers around her hair. "My therapist tries hard to convince me that the relationship I have with Sasuke isn't healthy…that it is more toxic than healthy."

Kakashi nodded. "I can see why they think the relationships we all have with him isn't healthy. He chose to leave and instead of accepting his decision, both you and Sakura want to bring him back to Konoha."

"Do you know that I also want to punch him in the face and call him a selfish bastard?" Kakashi laughed and Naruto smiled. Her relationship with Sasuke had always been like that. She always called him out for his terrible habits and maybe she understood why he might have liked her for it. "I hate the fact that the council only focused on him and that he is one of the reasons they wanted to exile me."

"You made a hasty decision to leave Konoha," Kakashi pointed out. "I know things were difficult for you, Naruto but you should have waited till the council actually called you out and declared you exile before leaving."

A few months ago, she probably would throw a tantrum with his words. She would have smiled widely and say she knew what she was doing when she ran away. But Naruto hadn't really thought carefully about her actions. It never dawned on her how much it would hurt Hinata or Tsunade to see her run away. All she cared about was herself.

Maybe Shouto was right. She was no better than her father because Minato did the same thing as her. He ran away because he felt just as much as a failure as her. It didn't matter he had a family who loved him, because it meant nothing when there was a constant reminder everywhere.

"Do you know what is my problem, Kakashi-sensei? I never think things through," Naruto admitted. She racked her hands through her hair and let out a small sigh. "I always think of the short-term solution and I never try to see the big picture about everything."

Something told her that her reckless decision to join Yuuei High might have just doomed the people of Japan. It might be stupid of her but the recent kidnapping of children and adults made her think that it was her fault. Her classmates might reassured her if she told them this, but something kept nagging her in the back of her mind.

Naruto just knew that it was her fault that more people were being kidnapped.

It couldn't be coincidence that the increase of kidnappings happened after her debut in the Sport Festival.


Shouto, have you heard or seen from Fuyumi in the last few days? She went out for a couple of drinks with a couple of her colleagues and I haven't heard from her at all.

Shouto carefully schooled his expression as he fixated his eyes on the message Natsuo had sent him. His mind should be focused on the explanation Aizawa-sensei was giving about their new internship and their plans to have Naruto's teacher to help train them to go to the Elemental Countries. But all he could think of was his sister.

Something had been bothering him when he hadn't seen her with his mother. He thought to ask his mum about Fuyumi to see if she had been coming around, but then he put it off. There was the excuse that maybe Fuyumi was busy preparing for the new school term. He might not have been the best brother to his sister, but Shouto knew his sister went overboard when it came to preparing for her lessons.

"Something is bothering you," Naruto commented, keeping her eyes fixated on Aizawa-sensei. Shouto kept his expression completely blank as her blue eyes shone with concern. "You have been looking at your phone even though Aizawa-sensei is now explaining about the internships. Did something happen?"

He shook his head, mismatch eyes avoiding his girlfriend's concerned eyes. It might be true that they were dating and they cared for each other, but Shouto didn't want to burden her with his concern over his sister. She already had a lot of stress from the knowledge they might have to go to the Elemental Countries. If Naruto knew his sister might be missing then she was going to worry even more.

Shouto didn't want to add more burden on her shoulders.

"Uzumaki! Todoroki! Pay attention!" The white binding cloth zipped past Satou and wrapped around both Naruto and Shouto, knocking the two heads together. Naruto smiled sheepishly while Todoroki nodded, earning a sigh from Aizawa and a laugh from Kakashi. "As I was saying, this semester we will be focusing more on internships with Professional Heroes and of preparing everyone for the trip to the Elemental Countries that will take place in the holidays."

"So we are not going to focus more on the normal lessons?" Momo asked, drawing everyone's attention on her.

Aizawa shook his head. "Principal Nezu believes that we need to focus on developing your Quirks better and improve your capabilities for the trip to the Elemental Countries."

"Is the Elemental Countries that dangerous?" Jirou asked. Fear radiated through her eyes and Shouto could understand what brought that fear out. All of the schools usually focused on the normal lessons, but for their principal to find it unimportant spoke volumes of just how serious the situation was.

"You kids are talented," Kakashi reassured, giving them a lazy smile. "But at your current levels, you would be easily kidnaped the moment a ninja from one of the Hidden Villages kidnap you."

Izuku knitted his eyebrows. "Why would they kidnap us?"

"Because of your Quirks," Naruto explained. Everyone swirled their heads at her, eyebrows raised together at this news and the blond-haired girl rubbed the back of her neck. For the first time since Shouto met his girlfriend, she actually looked a little bit embarrassed with the attention. "Not everyone has a Quirk."

"But you have a Quirk?"

"She doesn't have a Quirk," Bakugou called out. Everyone raised their eyebrows at the blond-haired boy, who had a scowl playing on his lips. Shouto slightly raised his eyebrow when he noticed the startled look on Kakashi's face when he stared at his angry classmate.

Was that surprised?

"What do you mean that isn't a Quirk?" Mineta yelled.

Bakugou scowled. "Do I have to speak stupid to you? Whiskers doesn't have a Quirk because her father didn't have a fucking Quirk!"

"And how do you know this?" Kakashi asked lightly. Shouto swirled his head at Naruto and waited for her to explain the reason she hadn't told her teacher that she knew her father. He always presumed she would have come clean to him but judging by her sheepish look, she decided to keep it quiet.

"Because her father was my damn uncle! He got fucking discriminated and laughed at for telling everyone that he was going to become a Hero!"

Silence reined throughout the classroom as everyone tried to process what the furious boy just admitted.

"What! Naruto and Bakugou are related!"

More and more voices began to chatter as everyone made comments about how this explained so much about the relationship between their two classmates. Naruto just simply slid down her chair, looking almost completely embarrassed as everyone kept comparing the similarities between them. Shouto patted her head, mismatch eyes fixated on Bakugou.

He asked his girlfriend's cousin to help him tell his feelings. Now it really did sound something like one of Fuyumi's books. When his sister found out about this, Shouto could just imagined the countless teasing that he would get from her.

That was if Fuyumi was back home. Natsuo's message and his trip yesterday to the hospital made him think he might need to check up on the house. There was always a probability she went to Touya's hideout, the two of them were close after all but he doubted it.

Fuyumi would have told Endeavour where their eldest brother was. His sister was always trying to make their family into something that it was not. Maybe he should go back home and retraced her steps. No, it would draw more questions from that shitty old man. If the shitty old man hadn't noticed his own daughter was missing then it spoke volumes about how careless he was.

"But Hinata-san used her eyes to see that you weren't in the marble that Shoji caught!" Izuku questioned. "Isn't that a Quirk?"

Naruto nodded. "Yes, it is considered a Quirk or a Kekkai Genkai. People had literally died because of ninjas experimenting on it or because of the inhumane breeding programs. If they see that you have a Kekkai Genkai that is useful or powerful then they would take it for their own."

"But you can't physically take a Quirk!" Momo pointed out.

Kakashi shook his head and pushed his headband up, revealing a red eye that had three dots. "This is an eye that I received from my teammate who had a Quirk," he explained. "Before I received this Kekkai Genkai, I was as Quirkless as you can be. As you can see, I can't turn it off because it isn't something that I inherited from my family."

"What does that Quirk do?" Izuku asked, green eyes lighting up with curiosity.

"It copies jutsu," Naruto answered, folding her arms against her chest and pouted. "It also allows them to predict the movement of their opponent and guess what jutsu is going to be performed. It can also cast an illusion so if you ever see Sasuke or Kakashi…don't ever look them in the eye when you are fighting."

It was a very dangerous and powerful Quirk when Naruto put in that way. Shouto could imagine a lot of people would kill to have a Quirk like that in those countries. Just from the description by itself, he could picture just how difficult it would be to fight someone like that. It was a lot more dangerous then Aizawa's Quirk.

Shouto really wondered if Principal Nezu was in over his head with the idea that they could face someone from that part of the world.


The first hint that maybe Natsuo was right to worry was when Shouto entered his house without a single greeting. He came back to his house as soon as the school day was over, lying to Naruto and Midoriya about visiting his mother. As much as Shouto enjoyed their presence, his girlfriend and best friend had the habit of butting in other people's business.

It was normal for his father not to greet him, not with the way he kept being disappointed by his level of power in Yuuei High, but Fuyumi always greeted him with a warm smile playing on her lips.

She would always be the first person in the door, greeting him with a cheerful voice. Questions would be asked about his health and well-being. She would also try to fish some information out of him about his relationship status, making some comment about how she expected him to have a girlfriend.

There was nothing.

Shouto knitted his eyebrows together and made his way through the house. He traced the cabinets, noticing the slight build up of dust. Fuyumi might be a teacher and might get stressed out from her job, but his sister always kept the house clean. Even when the house was spotless, Fuyumi would still clean the place. Natsuo called her a cleaning freak.

From his limited memories of his early childhood, Shouto recalled his mother had been the same.

He paused when he stood in front of Fuyumi's bedroom door. What does he do? Would it be considered a breach of privacy if he entered the room without permission? What would Naruto do in a situation like this? She probably wouldn't even question her actions. Naruto would kick the door open, searching for any clues about where his sister might be.

Shouto took a deep breath, slid the door opened and entered his sister's room.

At first glance, nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. The bed was neatly made like it always were, the pillows fluffed up and her clothes neatly lined up but something nagged him. Maybe it was the way that the bed looked too perfect or the way that he saw that one of her clothes was missing.

Dread began to build up in his stomach. Maybe it was silly but Shouto could remember every dress that his sister owned, which occasions she wore certain dresses for and which dresses that their father brought for her. The dress that was not here was the red dress their father had given her to wear to certain parities that required everyone's presence.

Shouto knew Fuyumi wore that dress when she was trying to impress some person she liked.

He chewed on the inner corner of his cheek and opened her nightstand drawer, where his sister liked to keep her diary. His childhood memories of helping Natsuo steal it had come in useful because Shouto had honestly doubt Fuyumi would have kept it in the same location. He flipped through the pages, looking for any clues that might indicate something strange had been happening in the last few days.

Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. There was no indication of where Fuyumi might have gone but Shouto knew something was up. Even if she went back home with someone, she would have told Natsuo about it.

The fact that there was no sign of her and the fact that it looked like it had been three days since she went missing meant that something happened. Should he inform Endeavour about it? It would be the right thing to do. He hated the man but he was a Hero. This was his job even if the man was doing a crappy job of checking up on his children.

No, he should get more evidence about where Fuyumi was. Maybe Shouto should visit Naruto's friends that had the Quirk to track people down. They could probably help him figure out where his sister was and once the location was pinpointed then he might just tell Endeavour.

He would be willing to forget his pride if it meant that he could confirm his sister was fine. It would kill him if something happened to Fuyumi. He might have never made it clear to his sister but Shouto loves her.

After what Endeavour did to his mother, Fuyumi was the one that acted like his mother. She was the one to worry about him and tried to cheer him up. The one that went to his parent's meetings because Shouto refused to let his father come to them.

He couldn't lose her.


A/N: Please review and tell me what you think about this chapter. I would like to hear your thoughts of what could be improved about this story or chapter.


Hello Everyone,

I apologize for the false alarm but know this might come as a surprise but I decided to redo the whole of Nirvana and split up the whole story. I realized after looking back in a couple of chapters that there might have been some plot holes that have been unintentionally left. There are also several things that I realized I didn't like about the story such as interactions of certain characters, or the lack of interactions.

There are also events that should have been explored earlier. I know that a lot of people like the original version and would like to continue reading it. I have no plans to delete the original Nirvana and it will still be there.

I apologize for this,

STLHero
