AN: So originally this was going to be a Fairy Tail. My Hero Academia crossover, but as I wrote the plot and drafted the chapters I found that it had more in common with Naruto. So after a bit of rejigging I changed the story, and am much happier with the way it is going now then previously.

For those about to read I would like to forewarn that this is an OC Naruto, one who shares the appearance, some of the personality traits, some of the backstory and some of the abilities of canon Naruto. But has differences to as in the world he is in now there isn't any chakra and the Naruto characters have been made compliant with this world with their abilities being made into Quirks, ones that have strengths and weaknesses.

So that was my warning, although considering that any Naruto character in any story that was not written by the owners of Naruto is OC, it shouldn't really have to be said, but I thought I would say it anyway.

Hope you enjoy the chapter, I will be aiming for chapter lengths of between 4,000 and 6,000 words.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or My Hero Academia.

Chapter 1

( - )

(At U.A.)

"Well, here I am." Naruto Uzumaki muttered to himself as he came to a stop in front of a massive set of gates, dozens of other people around his own age filtering passed him, as the teen paused for a second and beheld the grandeur of the sight in front of him.

A large grin slowly spreading across the fifteen year old's face as he looked up, his blue eyes twinkling as he beheld the grand entrance and the huge buildings that made up the main campus of the Academy he was hoping to attend.

He was finally here after years of training and preparing he had made it to U.A., one of the premier Hero Academies in the world, on a par with its North American and European counterparts. U.A. was an one of the institutes that middle school students from all most every country and nation in the world wanted to attend, the Academy being well known and well respected throughout the world, its sterling reputation attracting students from both Great Britain, North America and beyond. Teens from all over applied to attend U.A., and this year, Naruto would be one of them.

The prestigious Japan based, international school offered numerous courses for its applicants to choose from, from its well-respected Business and General Studies courses to its renowned Hero Support course.

U.A.'s most acclaimed and famous course by far however was its Hero Course, a course that boasted some of the top ranked heroes in the world, like All Might and Endeavor as alumni. This was the one Naruto was angling for.

Ever since he had first heard of the U.A. as a kid growing up in a small rural orphanage, Naruto had known he had wanted to attend U.A. Where he would be taught how to adapt and push his abilities to the max and be the best hero he could possibly be by the Pro Heroes who worked here as teachers, some of the best in the business.

Not that Naruto was alone in this ambition. In a world like the one Naruto lived, where eighty percent of the population had superpowers or 'Quirks' as they had widely come to be known as, becoming a Pro Hero was kind of the standard dream almost every kid had growing up.

Gone were the days before Quirks, when superpowers were only a fantasy and heroes only appeared in movies and comic books. Back then the world idolized and looked up to actors, athletes, singers and musicians. Now though, Pro Heroes were true the rock stars and celebrities of the modern world. With even he low level heroes being given respect and influence, as people the world over admired them for their selflessness and courage

There was of course a reason for this, as originally when Quirks had first begun to develop, the world had fallen into chaos as governments, police forces and people tried to get used to and adapt to the idea of most people now having superpowers. The world had been thrown into turmoil as some people tried to abuse the gifts they had been given for their own gains.

In an unprecedented move the struggling government's around the world gave authority and license to super powered people to bring order. These were the first generation of heroes, those who stepped up and helped bring order to a scared and panicking world.

Nowadays many generations later, becoming a famous hero was the dream for the majority of kids, whether that was for the fame and the wealth that accompanied the job, or to just help people, pretty everyone wanted to become a hero.

Every country in the world had hundreds if not thousands of Hero Agencies dotted around them, in every town and city, these offices being set up by either individual or groups of heroes as bases where they could work from to protect the people. As well as places where those heroes could pass on their wisdom and experience to the next generation.

Now Naruto growing up in the orphanage had had a similar dream of being a hero, of fighting back the forces of darkness and protecting the people. But unlike others his ambition was more than the kids. After all Naruto didn't just want to be an ordinary hero, no, he wanted to become the Number One Hero. He wanted to become the strongest and most influential hero in the world, a position currently held by the legendary hero known as All Might.

And enrolling in U.A., the largest, most prestigious and most difficult Hero Academy to get into in the world. Well this was going to be the start of Naruto's journey to be number one!

( - )

"Ha! This is going to be awesome!" Naruto shouted as he looked at the U.A. campus, grinning to himself as he slammed his fists together in front of him, a brief burst of flare of bluish energy appearing around his clenched fists as he accidently activated is Quirk in his excitement.

Noticing this and the few looks he was receiving from other candidates that were walking through the gates, Naruto grinned sheepishly letting his hands fall to his side and deactivating his Quirk. People weren't supposed to use their Quirks in public, at least not without having a license to do so. Which was something that could only be gained through graduating from Hero Academy or through special dispensation from their respective government. Naruto had neither of these things.

Chuckling awkwardly, Naruto glanced around before with a shrug he proceeded to walk through the gates of U.A, noting as he did just how many other applicants there were. The completion for places at the academy was going to be fierce.

Following the crowd Naruto headed towards one of the large buildings that made up the Academy's campus. Mentally preparing himself for the trials to come as he did so. After all thousands of people applied to get onto U.A.'s Hero Course each year, and of those thousands many of them were rejected, with only the cream of the crop being allowed to attend. The U.A. Hero Course having only forty places on it each year meant that the competition for a place was stiff.

It was for this reason that they had the exams though, with the first being a written exam, testing not only a candidates academic knowledge, but also their situational awareness, their morality, and how they would analyse and then adapt to a hypothetical situation. It was to this written test that Naruto was heading, following the rest of the crowd as he entered the predesignated building he was supposed to be taking his exam in.

Naruto having been sent a registration card alongside his letter of invitation, one that included his examinee number, the building he was to take his written exam in and which arena his practical test would be taken in. First things first though he had to get through his written test.

Now Naruto wouldn't say he was the most academically gifted of students, there had been a lot of students in his middle school who had done better than him. If he were to place himself Naruto would put himself down at about average, not the smartest of people but not dumb either. If anyone was to ask him he would say he was street smart as oppose to book smart. Which was true, he always had far too much energy to sit still in classes, ADHD is what his teacher called it.

Despite that though he did think he would do quite well on the written part of the test, as traditional academic subjects only made up fifty percent of the exam and he reckoned he could get at least half marks in those subjects.

The other half though was the hero aptitude and situational awareness side of things, and Naruto knew he would do well there. After all he had always had good situational awareness, and judgement. He was always able to take the initiative and could adapt on the fly if a situation went badly, unpredictable that was a word his teachers had used to describe him.

Plus he would also do well on the practical test, when he was growing up he had found himself a natural when it came to using his Quirk, being able to master it almost unnaturally quickly, far faster than should have been humanly possible.

It was because of these reasons that he was so confident when he first went into the exam hall he had been assigned, joined by more than a hundred other students, all of whom would be taking the same test. All of whom Naruto would be competing against for his place on the Hero Course.

( - )

(Four hours later)

"Oh my god! That was so shit!" Naruto shouted out loud four hours later as he walked down U.A's main plaza complete oblivious to anyone else as he vented his frustration, his loud shout making a number of other nearby students flinch.

The set of exams he had just taken were a lot harder than he had thought. Either he had very much overestimated himself or he had underestimated the complexity of the questions.

After taking a moment to think about it, Naruto realised that he should have known that this would be the case. After all approximately two and half thousand candidates were said to be taking the entrance exams this year, with the groups being separated into twenty four different groups of around one hundred, with the exams stretching over the course of three days, with eight groups taking part each day.

Of these two thousand five hundred candidates only forty would be able to join the Hero Course, Naruto already knew it was going to be competitive getting in, but having just taken the written tests he now understood just how hard it was going to be to get himself one of those forty places that were available.

For a moment as he continued on down the plaza a small part of him regretted not applying for one of the smaller and less prestigious schools, of which there were many. Put that small part of him was completely eclipsed by the other part of him that wanted to become the best hero in the world. After all going to U.A., would give him a leg up in that respect.

Still just because he didn't do as well in his written test as he was hoping, that didn't mean that it was over, the written tests after all only accounted for a portion of the final mark. The physical part of the test was just as important, if not more. Grinning at that thought, Naruto nodded to himself his confidence once again renewed and the fire within him burning hotter than ever.

Before he could continue on to the briefing for the physical part of the test though, he was interrupted by someone stepping in front of him, a stern look on their face.

"Excuse me!" A loud, stern voice suddenly. Interrupting Naruto's thoughts and gaining his attention as he looked up at the speaker only to see a young bespectacled man, with a powerful build, short black hair and a stern expression etched onto his face standing across from him. "Can you please stop shouting and swearing, it is very distracting and not at all appropriate behaviour for a prospective student of U.A.!"

Naruto cocked an eyebrow as he heard this, not at all sure what to think or do as the taller and broader boy got up in his face, waving a finger under Naruto's nose as he attempted to scold him like a parent would an unruly child.

In the end Naruto decided to do what he did best, be blunt and speak his mind.

"Oh piss off!" Naruto said for want of anything better to say.

The other boy looked shocked for a second as he heard Naruto's response, his eyes widening almost comically before an affronted expression crossed his face. "What's your name, I am going to be reporting you to the nearest teacher for your behaviour!"

One again Naruto looked surprised, he didn't think he had met anyone who was as up his own arse as this kid seemed to be. Even his rival at school had been this much of a prick. "The name's Naruto Uzumaki, just who the fuck are you!"

The boy in front of him scowled as he heard yet more profanity from Naruto, puffing up a bit and glaring down his nose at him as he did so. "My name is Tenya Iida, from Soumei Private School."

"Ok well Idil from Somamei. Can you go bother someone else? I mean I've got to get to the candidate briefing and don't want to have to deal with you." Naruto once again replied bluntly, completely massacring Iida's name as he did so. Not that he was really that bothered.

"The name is Iida!" The now named Iida replied hotly, beginning to get annoyed by Naruto's less than respectful attitude.

"Ok cool, well I'll see you later Ipa." Naruto replied glibly before he side stepped the taller boy, purposefully getting the boy's name wrong that time. Partly because he knew it would annoy him, no wait that was the entire reason.

"My name is Tenya Iida!" Iida shouted after Naruto as he twisted around to follow the other teen and continue his lecture, only for his eyes to widen as he realised he also needed to get to the briefing for the physical portion of the exam.

( - )

After his quick escape from the lecture that that Iida kid was attempting to give him, Naruto headed for the school's auditorium, following the rest of the candidates heading in that direction.

As he did so he couldn't help but stare at some of the other U.A. hopefuls that he passed, some of whom just looked completely ordinary with normal coloured hair, eyes and body shapes. There were others though who looked distinctly unique, with one of the students he passed having rock like skin, whilst another had bright pink skin and horns.

There unusual appearance were down to two reason, the first being that person's Quirk, after all some Quirks mutated a person's appearance because of the way their Quirk worked, requiring physical changes for it to operate. The second possible reason was that they could have inherited their appearances from their parents, who themselves gained the unusual features from their Quirks. Meaning that their inhuman looks in no way related to what their own Quirk did, but was what they were born like.

Naruto himself looked like a normal human, well relatively normal that is. He did after all have spiky blonde hair, blue eyes, tanned skin, slightly longer than normal canines and three whisker marks on each of his cheeks. But that was about it. Whether these features related in some way to his Quirk though Naruto wasn't entirely sure, his parents hadn't had whisker markings, or as far as he knew they didn't.

After all he was an orphan and had been for as long as he could remember. According to the orphanage where he had grown up, a lovely little place in a village called Konoha, and his current hospital records, Naruto had been born after his father was already dead and only minutes before his mother died from the stress of his premature birth and the injuries inflicted upon her.

Apparently Naruto's parents had been Pro Heroes, though neither of them had been massive on the world stage they had both been relatively popular in Japan. His father Minato Namikaze having apparently had a Quirk that allowed him to instantaneously teleport himself. Whilst his mother, Kushina Uzumaki, had the ability to create energy constructs and extend them from her body. Two strong and flashy Quirks that allowed them to become Pros.

Despite them not being as big as other Heroes like All Might and Endeavor, the two of them had been good enough and popular enough to gain the enmity of a few villains. The worst of whom had tracked down Naruto's father and pregnant mother and had attacked them in their home, hoping to kill them off and make a statement to the wider community.

The villain that had attacked the two had been a true monster of a man, one who abused his powers for his own gain, uncaring of the devastation he left in his wake. The man's name still wasn't mentioned in public even now fifteen years after his death, for fear of him being idolized or martyred by the darker portion of society.

The city where the confrontation had taken place had ended up being completely destroyed as both Kushina and Minato fought back. The other Heroes in the area being drawn into the fray as the fight escalated. Eventually though the villain was slain, at the cost of both Minato and Kushina's lives. With Kushina only holding onto life long enough to give birth to Naruto and give him his name.

Or at least that was what Naruto had been told when he was growing up. His father's former Sidekick, Kakashi Hatake having visited him in the orphanage over the years. The older man having at least told Naruto about his parents, even he if hadn't the time or the inclination to adopt Naruto. Still though Naruto appreciated Kakashi making at least a little effort to help Naruto out over the years, just as his mother and father's other friends had done. Both those who were Heroes and those who were not.

Making his way through the crowds of other students all heading for the auditorium, Naruto quickly shrugged off his grim thoughts about the past, seeing no point in thinking about events that he would never be able to change, but which had still shaped him into the person he was today.

Instead Naruto focused on the present. The blonde haired teen striding forwards purposefully, a grin slowly crossing his face as he began to think about the trial to come, his excitement and anticipation building at the thought of being able to fully and freely use his Quirk in a highly competitive test.

As he walked forwards completely focused on the task ahead of him, Naruto ignored some nearby commotion. An incident caused by some wimpy, green haired kid tripping over his own feet and nearly falling flat on his face. The boy only being saved the embarrassment by another student, a pretty girl with shoulder length brown hair and some gravity based Quirk, who used her power to make the clumsy kid float.

Normally Naruto would have stopped and gawked at something like this, Naruto enjoying a good show as much of the next person, and judging by just how red that kid was becoming and his stuttered response as the girl spoke to him, it would likely be a good show. Unfortunately though that run in with Tenya Iida had made him late, and with the briefing about to start he wanted to get himself a good seat. So grudgingly he forced himself to ignore the stuttering kid and instead headed into the large auditorium.

Joining the crowd of other candidates all shuffling into the building, Naruto soon entered, letting out a slight whistle as he looked around and saw how big the room was. It was like an entire stadium, with rows upon rows of seats going in a big circle all the way around, the seats all being tiered so as to allow everyone to have a good view of the main stage.

Walking up the steps, Naruto quickly took his seat. Sitting next to the girl he had seen before outside the auditorium. A girl around the same age as Naruto with pink tinted skin and unusual eyes which had black sclera and yellow irises. The girl also had unruly, short pink hair quite similar to Naruto's own, except her own hair was pink, oh and it had a pair of sharp golden coloured horns protruding out of it.

Overall though the girl cut a striking figure, and one that Naruto knew would make her a popular hero if she graduated.

As Naruto took his seat, the girl next to him glanced over, a large smile spreading across her face as she looked him up and down, her gaze coming to rest on Naruto's cheeks. The girl having no doubt noticed his whisker marks, a feature that many though made him look cute. Which Naruto vehemently denied, as he instead insisted he was ruggedly handsome not cute or adorable.

"Hey there, I'm Mina Ashido!" The girl said brightly as she thrust her hand out to Naruto, her grin widening as he took it and gave it a brief shake.

"Hi, I'm Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto replied equally enthusiastically, already getting the feeling he would get along very well with this girl.

"So how did you do on the written exam? I did terrible, I only hope I am able to make up my points in the physical test!" Mina said in a bubbly tone, not at all embarrassed to admit that she hadn't done well in the written tests.

It was an admirable quality, and one that Naruto shared.

"Oh yeah I did badly too! Completely shit, probably not even half marks." Naruto replied unashamed. "But as you say this test should hopefully be easier!"

"To right, so Naruto what's your Quirk? If you don't mind me asking?" Mina asked, leaning forward in interest as she looked at Naruto, her unique eyes running up and down Naruto's body as she tried to work out what his abilities might be just from looking at him.

"Nah it's cool!" Naruto replied with a shrug not at all bothered about telling Mina, a girl he only just met, about his Quirk. After all what did Naruto have to hide? All Quirks were registered with the government, so when he did become a Pro Hero the basics of his abilities would be on public record.

"My Quirk allows me to absorb the emotions of those around me, the stronger emotions are the stronger I become. Of course depending on the type of emotion, positive or negative, that I chose to empower myself with the different my abilities. If I chose to use negative emotions my abilities are a lot more aggressive than when I use positive emotions!"

"Aww man that's so cool!" Mina replied enthusiastically, her eyes gleaming with interest. The girl having gotten at least a grasp of what Naruto's Quirk was, even if she wasn't sure what the difference between positive emotion abilities and negative emotion abilities were. Either way it sounded cool, and pretty unique. "It sounds like a really flashy Quirk. It should definitely get you loads of attention when you become a hero!"

Naruto grinned in response his ego stoked by the pinked haired girl's praise, he had only just met this girl and he already liked her. "Yeah it's pretty awesome, what about you? What's your Quirk?"

"Oh, I can create acid and secrete it from my skin. It's pretty cool as I can change how corrosive it is and stuff. I don't think it is anywhere near as flashy as yours though." Mina replied, her cheerfulness not diminishing in the slightest at her admittance.

"It's still pretty cool though." Naruto said in response, genuinely impressed with the girl's abilities as they sounded perfect for a Hero who specializes in rescue. Before he could say anything else though, he noticed the lights in the auditorium dimming and a hush falling over the waiting students. "Oh, wait a sec I think the briefing is about to start."

"Right." Mina replied with a nod, turning in her seat like Naruto as they both looked down at the stage in the centre of the auditorium. The tension and anticipation in the room noticeably building, as the many U.A. hopefuls waited for the briefing on the last part of the entrance exam to start.

( - )

As the room fell silent and the main lights in the room dimmed, the feeling of anticipation began to grow amongst the waiting U.A. candidates. As the seconds stretched on the expectation continued to build, with muttering starting to break out, until it suddenly stopped when the stage was suddenly lit up.

The spotlights now on the stage revealing someone patiently waiting in the middle. It was a man, one who had excessively spiky and wild blonde hair that extended over a foot above his head, a pair of orange tinted glasses, and some kind of contraption around his neck that looked like a big speaker in the shape of a collar.

Despite his unique… appearance though pretty much everyone in the auditorium recognised who this man was. This was the Pro Hero known as Present Mic, a well-known hero who taught here at U.A., plus a well-known radio DJ too.

"Welcome everyone to my live show!" Present Mic shouted the moment the lights turned on, a large smile on his face as he thrust both hands out either side of him, jabbing his fingers at the waiting crowd of candidates, his voice sounding out loud and overly enthusiastic. "Everybody say HEY!"

In response there was only stunned silence, as the building tension and anticipation was well and truly shattered by the eccentric hero's actions.

Seeing the response Present Mic put one of his hands against his ear, undeterred as he used his other hand to wave at the crowd of students. "Come on! One more time, everybody say HEY!"

Again there was silence.

"Tough crowd!" Present Mic said, his grin not faltering as he instead began to address the crowd, getting on with what he was here for. "Whatever! Now I'm going to give you all the run-down on how the practical exam is going to go down! ARE YOU ALL READY?!"

This time some of the students reacted, with both Mina and Naruto shouting out "yeah!" A number of other students joining them in their cheery response, the majority however remained silent, either due to them being nervous over the exam to come, or because they had a stick shoved up their arse.

"Haha, good now I want you all to pay attention, as I'm only going to be saying this once!" Present Mic shouted in response, his voice amplified by the speakers around his neck as he struck yet another dramatic pose before continuing on with his speech. "Now the physical part of the exams will be testing whether you have the skills to be a hero! After this briefing you will be going to one of U.A.'s replica-city districts! You can take whatever equipment you want, just gather at your designated meeting area after my presentation?!"

Hearing that Naruto looked down at the registration card he had been sent along with his invitation to take the exams, the card showing the letter E. Seeing this Naruto then glanced over at Mina's card, noticing as he did that she was checking his card out too. "You got arena E too?"

"Yep, it looks like we'll be in the same arena!" Mina replied with a smile, bumping Naruto's shoulder with her own as she did so.

"Awesome, this is gonna be cool," Naruto replied a large grin on his face as he fist pumped the air, the anticipation for the fight to come really firing him up.

"Oh yeah!" Mina cheered fist pumping the air like Naruto as she did so.

"There'll be loads of faux-villains spread all over the battlefields and each one will be rated as either a One, Two, or Three pointer, depending on what type it is! Your job is to use your Quirk to take out as many of them as you can and rack up a high score! But there are rules, you can't attack other competitors directly! That's nasty anti-hero stuff and will see any student doing it, disqualified!" Present Mic shouted out again, outlining the rules even as several large overhead screens powered up at his words, showing the dark outlines of three different robots, each of which had a number from one to three posted next to it.

Excited whispers began to fill the hall as they heard that. With Naruto and Mina sharing an excited grin. Before any more could be said though a stern voice spoke out, stopping Present Mic from continuing and drawing all the attention in the room to the speaker.

Seeing who it was that was speaking, Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Excuse me!" Tenya Iida said loudly, the well-built, bespectacled boy standing up a stern expression on his face as he looked down at Present Mic. "On the handout we received, there are clearly four types of villains listed! If this is an error, then it's a huge embarrassment for a top-tier international academy of U.A's caliber! What is the meaning of this?"

"We were given a handout?" Naruto muttered to Mina, getting a shrug from the girl in response.

"Also, you!" The overly serious teenager suddenly snapped out, making Naruto freeze as he thought Iida was talking to him. Only for Naruto to relax as he saw the target of the boy's ire was the same green haired kid that had made a spectacle of himself outside. "Quit muttering to yourself! We're trying to pay attention! If you think U.A. is just for fun, then leave this place at once!"

Almost everyone turned to look at the boy as they heard Iida's accusations. Even Mina and Naruto looking over curiously, neither of them having heard him muttering, but both interested all the same. In response the kid turned almost bright red, before he began to sink into his seat.

"What a dick." Naruto muttered as he scowled at Iida, he didn't know the kid who Iida called out. But he still thought it was a bit out of order for the other boy to single out and embarrass the kid like that.

"It was a bit harsh." Mina said with a nod of her head as she looked from the red faced boy to the one who had spoken curiously. The pink haired girl having never liked those who enjoyed pushing others around, Mina having stood up to and punished many bullies in her middle school years.

"Now, now no need to worry!" Present Mic spoke up, pointing dramatically at the teen with the glasses. "Though you make a good point young man, so let me explain! The fourth type of villain is called the Zero Pointer! It's a big gimmicky thing that goes wild in tight places! If I were you, I'd do my best to avoid that sucker!"

"I see! Forgive my interruption!" Iida replied, giving a half bow to the amused looking Pro Hero before primly sitting down.

"Well I think that's enough from me!" Present Mic continued as he grinned around at the waiting candidates. "I think I'll leave you with a quote that my academy prides itself on! Go beyond! Plus Ultra! Now get out there and have a great time!"

( - )

(At Arena E)

Naruto let out a whistle as he looked over at the duplicate city district laid out before him. It was pretty damn impressive, really realistic too. It must have been a square mile in size, with numerous large tower blocks, narrow streets and roads. The entire thing looked like it had just been lifted from a real city, hell it even had a few cars dotted around the roads.

"Aww man this is huge, it's going to be impossible to even find any of the robots!" Mina complained from where she was standing next to Naruto. The pink skinned girl having overcome her awe at the replica city a lot faster than Naruto, instead focusing on the task to come.

"Yeah that place is gonna get trashed!" Naruto said bluntly, after all with people freely using their Quirks to take down and fight the robots in the city district, well there would be a lot of destruction.

Mina rolled her eyes as she heard that. "I swear, what is it with guys with flashy Quirks? I think the idea is that you try not to destroy the city."

"Aww but it'll be so much easier." Naruto complained, scuffing one of his feet along the floor.

"It's not very heroic though is it?" Mina asked with a slight laugh at Naruto's actions. "I can see what you mean though, it's probably why they stuck it in a city to begin with. I mean we are more likely to be fighting villains in built up areas than opens spaces. Which means we have to learn how to do it without creating too much collateral damage."

"Yeah collateral damage…" Naruto chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his head. "Subtly isn't really my strong suit."

Mina snorted at that. "Yeah mine neither!"

"You fancy sticking together in there, you know work together to take down as many as possible?" Naruto asked, not really thinking his proposal through as he just asked what was on his mind.

"That would probably make it harder for both of us to rack up the big points. I mean it'll be easier for both of us if we split up." Mina replied with a smile, gently shooting down Naruto's idea.

"Yeah, of course I gotcha." Naruto said cottoning on to what she meant, sharing a smile with Mina before he turned and looked around at the rest of their group. Not really seeing anyone else he recognised, like that Iida kid, or the wimpy green haired kid.

He did see quite a few interesting Quirks though, as there was a pretty girl a few feet away with short black hair, piercing dark eyes and what looked like wires coming down from her ear lobes. Plus another girl who had green vine like hair, and delicate almost angelic features, as well as a body to die for.

Naruto shook his head at that thought, trying to get his mind back on the game and away from distracting thoughts about girls. This of course wasn't helped by his new friend Mina, the attractive, yet exotic looking girl having started to do some rather provocative stretches as she prepared for the exam to start.

Closing his eyes Naruto began to go through some breathing exercise, first inhaling deeply and then exhaling. Starting to mentally prepare himself for the challenge to come as he began to feel out the excited and nervous emotions of those around him.

Feeling the energy running through his body as he decided to focus on the positive emotions Naruto opened his eyes his mind suddenly clear, the area around his eyes having turned slightly orange even as his iris's turned a solid golden colour. The physical indication that he was now drawing on the positive emotions of those around him to empower himself.

"OK EVERYBODY START!" The voice of Present Mic suddenly rang out, drawing everybody's attention to where the Pro Hero was standing on an observation tower. All of the candidates around Naruto looking confused about what was going on.

Before anyone could ask though the Pro Hero just laughed before yelling out again so all the participants could hear. "What are you waiting for?! There isn't a countdown in a real battle, you greenhorns, get those legs moving!"

( - )

AN: So what did everyone think? Naruto abilities will be expanded upon more next chapter, but I think I have made up a good Quirk that is balanced.

For those interested there will not be a harem in this story as honestly most harem stories are terribly and cringey with only a few authors being able to do them well. Unfortunately I am no where near good enough and so will stick to single pairing as honestly I don't want to ruin my story by trying to cram as many people in as possible without ever developing the characters. Who that pairing will be, I am not sure I am planning to just write the story and see how the interactions go and which ones make sense to me.

In terms of updating I will be focusing on my PJ/RWBY, PJ/GoT and this story going forwards. I am not planning on starting anything else until I have made a lot of headway with those stories.

Hope you all enjoyed the story.
