Anyway, here's the story.

Chapter 2 Path to Greatness

"Alright, listen up! Since you are all in the third grade of middle school now it's right time for you to think about your future." The teacher said with a flourish as he held a stack of papers in his hand. He was grinning from ear to ear. "I will now distribute your career aspiration documents but at least, for the most part, you all have the ambition of being heroes, right?" He asked with his grin as he threw the stacks of paper into the air.

The response of his class was a roar of approval as everyone gave a demonstration of their quirks.

At a pair of desks next to each other were a 16 year old boy messing around on his phone and 15 year old girl writing in a notebook.

The boy was Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze being the tallest boy in school next to a certain someone having grown his hair out more as it was now reached his shoulders with a short spiky ponytail in the back with bangs framming his face like Minato's use to, he now had an very muscular figure without being overly so with a hidden six-pack, a perfect mix of power and speed. For clothes he wore the male middle school uniform consisting of a white short sleeved shirt with a black blazer over it, black pants, and black combat shoes.

The girl was Izuka Midoriya also being the tallest girl in school still being only an inch shorter than Naruto her hair was long tied in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two antennae sticking out from the top and sloping backwards, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place, she now had a very tight slender figure with a hidden four-pack and CC-cup breasts. For clothes she wore the female middle school uniform consisting of a white short sleeved shirt with a black blazer over it, black skirt, knee high white socks, and brown dress shoes. (She looks like a green haired Akeno from Highschool DxD)

"Everyone sure is roudy about being heroes." Naruto whispered listening while keeping himself busy on his phone.

"Not surprising. Wanting to be big heroes like Gaia is pretty normal." Izuka muttered putting down more notes from memory.

"Makes me think about all we've been through, eh?" Naruto grinned.

"You know it." Izuka smiled.

Naruto and Izuka both thought back to the things they've done over the years.

Ever since Minato's death Naruto and Izuka put their training into overdrive, along with Kushina joining in to well prepare them for the hero world, and the two became really strong over their peers.

For instance Naruto was able to shape his fire in any from possible either to grab something/using it as an extra limb, form it into any kind of weapon, even use his fire to empower himself up for an extra boost as well as ingest more fire. The dragon scales he produces from the flames over his body somehow doubles his already strong power making him feel like a humanoid dragon. And when he uses his full power, well let's just say the heat and power are intense.

With Izuka her powers felt like they were given by the very sky itself, she could create small tornado's or hurricane's, flow her powers to allow flight, can sense anything in a hundred mile radius using the wind, she can even get more stronger the more air she inhales. When she goes all out, it's like your facing a wind goddess.

But it wasn't just training from Kushina they got, they were given other forms of combat training from some dojo senseis Kushina was friends with so the two would be more effective in battle.

Also somewhere along the way Naruto and Izuka got together.

How it happened was that it was Izuka's birthday and Naruto decided to treat her. First they went to a movie, then the arcade, then dinner, and to end it they went on a nice walk.

And this is what happened.

Flashback; 5 years ago

It was nighttime and a 11 year old Naruto and 10 Izuka were on a bridge over a lake leaning on a rail just looking at the moon.

"Beautiful night, isn't it Izuka?" Naruto asked.

"It sure is, Naruto." Izuka said. "The way you've been treating me on my birthday makes me feel all giddy." She giggled.

"Izuka... there's something I want to tell you." Naruto said looking at her.

"What is it?" Izuka asked looking back.

"Well we've been the best of friends since forever, right?"

"Yeah."

"And every moment we've spent together has been precious to me."

"It's been precious to me too, Naruto."

"Which is why I want a change."

"What kind of change?"

"Izuka, I want you to be my girlfriend."

Izuka's eyes were wide and her face was red.

"R-Really?" Izuka stuttered.

"Yes." Naruto said leaning away from the rail and took Izuka's hands in his own. "Izuka you were the first friend I had at our age. You've become someone important to me. And have given me emotional strength when I need it when my Tou-san died. I couldn't imagine my life without you in it. Izuka Midoriya, I love you." Naruto said passionately.

By this point Izuka was in tears of what Naruto said to her and smiled so brightly it shinned the area.

"You're very important to me as well, Naruto. You were my friend and protector from bullies that were mean to me. You believed in me when no one else did. Given me strength and support. And was even there for me when Kaa-chan and I had nowhere to go. I guess what I'm saying is that I love you too, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze." Izuka said just as passionatley as him.

Naruto had tears in his eyes too so happy that Izuka loved him back.

Overcome with such emotion Naruto and Izuka leaning their heads towards each other and kissed with such passion and love they felt their souls becoming one feeling a firey hurricane of love. They didn't want to break the kiss but the need for air was too great making them break away taking deep breathes.

"Wow." Izuka breathed.

"I know." Naruto laughed. "Oh wait a minute." Naruto reached into his pocket and pulled out a black box.

"What's that?" Izuka asked.

"It was something I wanted to present if we got together." Naruto said opening the box showing Izuka two gold rings; one with a amber gem on it and the other with a jade gem on it. "The amber is for me and the jade is for you."

"Naruto they're beautiful." Izuka smiled.

"Your's got my name on the bottom and vice versa. So when ever we're apart we can channel our energy through and feel each others love." Naruto said taking the jade ring and putting it on Izuka's left ring finger. When she turned her hand around it showed the word 'NARUTO' at the bottom.

"Here let me put yours on too." Izuka said taking the amber ring and put it on Naruto's right ring finger and she turned his hand over to see the word 'IZUKA' at the bottom. "How did you pay for these?" Izuka couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't pay for them, I made them myself." Naruto answered.

"Really?!" Izuka exclaimed in shock.

"Really. I wanted to put in a huge deal of effort to show how much you mean to me." Naruto said.

"Oh Naruto!" Izuka cried hugging Naruto tightly as he hugged her back just as tight.

"I'm glad you like it." Naruto laughed. "But I think we should get out of here."

"How come?" Izuka wondered.

"No doubt our Moms are worried about us by now since it getting pretty late." Naruto said.

"Oh, right." Izuka blushed in embarrassment.

"Come on!" Naruto grabbed Izuka's hand and they ran off laughing together.

End of Flashback

Since then, the two have been going strong. They each looked at the rings that were still on their fingers and smiled at how they kept their relationship.

"Well, well. I know that most of you have good quirks but bear in mind that using them outside of sanctioned establishments when you are a minor and don't have a Hero license." The teacher reminded kindly.

"Sir! Don't believe for a second that I am the same as the others here." Someone barked making everyone but Naruto and Izuka turned to see a 15 year older Katsuki Bakugo wearing the middle school uniform with a derisive laugh from where he was sitting with his feet propped up on his desk. "It isn't my intention to be seen as the same as those with weak quirks."

Naruto scoffed rolling his eyes while Izuka shook her head in annoyance. The only thing about Katsuki that had basically changed was everything that made him Katsuki was enhanced tenfold. He was still a very unpleasant person and annoying person to know.

"What do you mean by that, Katsuki?!"

"Shut up, fodder! Behave as such!"

The teacher perked up. "Ah, yes. Bakugo-kun. You are going to apply to U.A. High School, yes?"

"What? The best school for Heroes in all Japan? It takes a total score of 79 to enter this year, right?"

"And if that isn't enough, the entrance examination is the most difficult one too!"

Bakugo smirked when he saw that everyone else stopped glaring at him for his comment about them being fodder and were now looking at him with wide eyes full of awe and fear.

"I'm not surprised that fodder such as yourself are quaking in their boots at the mere mention of U.A. High School. I will ace the entrance exams. I am the only one here that deserves to go there!" He proclaimed, standing up and sending his desk and chair to the floor in a heap with a savage grin on his face he continued his shouting. "I will even surpass Gaia, and then, I will become the highest ranked hero of all! I'll leave my name forever in the annual ranking of the richest people in the world!"

While everyone there stared at Katsuki with wide eyes due to his declaration, while Naruto and Izuka merely raised an unimpressed eyebrow before they sighed in exasperation with a shake of thier heads.

"Hm, now that we are talking about it, I believe that Uzumaki-kun and Midoriya-chan also wishes to enter U.A."

Everyone then turned their gazes at Naruto and Izuka who were ignoring them. They all knew about Naruto's strong quirk and how he himself was equally strong with many not able to stand next to him. Then there was Izuka and her wind quirk that made her just as powerful. The two only use their quirks when training or to put someone in their place that was bullying others. So everyone there wasn't surprised that they were going to sign up for U.A. but were unsure on how to react to that piece of news considering they keep to each other and ignore everyone else.

Well, everyone but...

"UZUMAKI! DEKU!" Katsuki bellowed as he turned towards them with his brightly glowing palm raised above his head to make Naruto and Izuka's desk explode. "You both good for no-!"

Katsuki was rudely interrupted when Izuka suddenly grabbed his wrist before it could go near her and raised it over her head while Naruto was up in front of the explosive quirk user and kneed him in the gutt. Katsuki released the explosion from his palm and the ball of fire and smoke resounded harmlessly on top of everyone's head as Katsuki gritted his teeth in discomfort and pain when Izuka tightened the hold she had around his wrist while Naruto's knee dug deeper into him as both of them pinned him down with a disapproving glare.

"As the teacher pointed out just a minute ago, we are not allowed to use our quirks outside of sanctioned establishments." Izuka scolded releasing Katsuki's wrist.

"That goes double for you, Bakugo, considering how... volatile your quirk is." Naruto admonished strongly as he pulled his knee from Katsuki's stomach making him stumble back holding said gutt.

"Are you weak fucks insulting me by trying to compete in the same league as me, huh?!" Katsuki growled.

"Whether you feel insulted or not about us applying for U. A. is none of my concern nor the fact that we're are applying should be of yours for that matter." Izuka scoffed.

"What do mean by that?!" Katsuki shouted as fists began to smoke glaring at Izuku and Naruto with hatred.

"That you shouldn't use your quirk to try to intimidate others into not attempting to reach further than you out of fear having your massive and frail pride wounded when you eventually discover that there are those who have a stronger quirk than yours. Like me for examples." Naruto smirked with amusement in his voice.

"What are you shitstains implying?!" Katsuki snarled.

Just then the bell rang indicating the end of that period. It was in that moment Naruto and Izuka noticed that thier classmates and teacher had pressed themselves to the furthest wall of the classroom, so they could stay away of the argument, knowing that collateral damage could befall to those that strayed too close to them when they argued.

"We're implying what you think we are." Izuka said as she and Naruto grabbed their things and made way for the door.

"Especially to the little baby." Naruto teased.

Stepping outside the room and closing the door behind them without looking back Naruto and Izuka made their way away from the classroom but they sighed in tired exasperation when he heard an explosion and a below of rage.

"I swear. I grown baby throwing a tantrum." Naruto said shaking his head.

"Makes you feel bad for Mitsuki-chan knowing she has to deal with her son being such a brat." Izuka nodded in agreement.

"Too true." Naruto said as the duo headed to their next class.

Hours Later

As the last bell of the school day rang Naruto and Izuka got their stuff left the classroom and were making their way across the courtyard leaving to head on home.

"Hey Naruto-kun, did you hear about the incident with the sludge villain?" Izuka asked.

"Yeah. They say it happened across the route we normally take on the way home. But it's been hourse so I think we're all good." Naruto said.

"I guess." Izuka said.

"Oi, where the fuck do you think you two are going, huh?! I have unfinished business with you!"

Naruto and Izuka looked behind them to see Katsuki stalking aggressively towards them. Those who have no let for their homes and were still standing around talking started to back away as they looked at them warily.

"You want to deal with the asshole again?" Naruto asked huffing in annoyance.

"I don't see why not." Izuka shrugged before glaring at Katsuki. "Yo, Bitchsuki!"

"What you call me?!" Katsuki roared.

"Losercryinglikealittlebitchsaywhat?" Izuka asked.

"What?" Katsuki said.

Suddenly Katsuki was exploded with pain as Izuka kicked him right in the nuts lifting him off the ground before she pulled her leg back and Katsuki fell down holding his man-bits.

"Y-You... cunt." Katsuki whimpered.

"You deserve it." Izuka scoffed waving her hair back.

"We need to head home and we can't do that dealing with your petty bullshit." Naruto said.

And with that the two turned around and walked off leaving Katsuki on the ground glaring at them with his wounded pride.

As Naruto and Izuka were walking home they were discussing on what kind of training they'll be doing for the next ten months before they can get into U.A. High School. Sadly that meant they were going to have to stop reading comics, watching their favorite tv shows, and playing videogames if they was going to have time to accomplish something worthwhile in the timeframe they have.

Once they made it home the two saw their own mothers sitting on the couch watching tv. They haven't really changed over the years only still holding their beauty as young mothers go.

"Hey." Naruto and Izuka greeted walking towards the moms.

"How was school?" Inko asked giving Izuka a hug.

"Oh you know the usual. Boring classes, Katsuki being a dick, that sort of thing." Izuka said.

"Got any plans this afternoon?" Kushina asked.

"I'm gonna go for a little jog after putting my stuff up." Naruto said.

"I'm going to play last minute video games that I can enjoy before we go through the ten month time period." Izuka said.

"Maybe I can join you. I need to show you whose boss after that little smack talk you did last time we played." Inko smirked.

"Bring it, Kaa-chan." Izuka smirked back.

And with that the Midoriya women left the room for their game showdown.

"Sometimes they act more like sisters then a mother and daughter." Naruto chuckled shaking his head.

"That just shows the bond they have together." Kushina giggled.

"To true." Naruto said before looking over at a picture of Minato and smiled softly at it.

"I miss him too, honey." Kushina said coming up to Naruto and placed her hand against his cheek. "The best thing we can do to remember your father is by living our lives to the fullest to show him we'll be alright with him watching over us."

"I know, Kaa-chan. I just wish he was still here sometimes." Naruto sighed.

"I know, baby." Kushina said kissing his forehead.

"Well I better get going if I want to get my job on." Naruto smiled.

"True." Kushina smiled back.

Naruto made his way to his room to set his stuff down and get into his workout clothes that consisted of a white muscle shirt and black shorts but kept his shoes. Once he was set he told Kushina bye and made his way out the door and started to jog down the usual pathway he takes all the time.

Naruto had been jogging for about forty minutes however unlike any other person would be tired or even a little winded, but for Naruto he was still feeling energized. His jogging let him down through a tunnel and he just passed a sealed sewer entrance when he abruptly stopped as he felt something moving very fast around his area and smelt something foul coming up.

Not five seconds passed when suddenly, from the gaps in the lid of the entrance of the sewer, a disgustingly brownish green sludge began to rise making Naruto turn around to see it.

"The hell?" He muttered.

The sludge coalesced into a disgusting mass that almost reached the ceiling of the tunnel and Naruto could make out a set of yellow eyes and a wide mouth filled with sharp teeth.

"A medium-sized invisibility cloak was enough to give her the slip..." The thing muttered with a voice as disgusting as it looked. It finally caught sight of Naruto and its yellow eyes perked up with glee as it grinned evilly. "Oh, what a wonderful body you have!" It declared creepily before tentacles of sludge shot forward with clear intent of grabbing him.

Naruto ducked under the first one and he jumped back to avoid being grabbed by the second one. He glared at the disgusting thing in front of him as he slipped into his fighting stance.

"Judging by his appearance, this is probably the petty thief that caused this morning's incident." Naruto thought as he took in his opponent. 'I know he can move really fast but he is remaining stationary, likely meaning that his moving speed can only be achieved in short bursts. Good thing I'm fast enough to avoid his tentacle attacks. If I keep my distance I can probably stay out of harm's way until a Pro Hero arrives to deal with him. Something in its tone tell me that he's not going to let me run away freely."

"Don try to resist, kid! I'm just going to take over your body. I promise you that it's only going to hurt for about forty-five seconds before you can't feel anything else." The sludge villain said with a note of irritation in his voice before sending numerous tentacles in Naruto's way with the intention of wrapping them around him so he could bring him closer to him to initiate the process of taking over his body.

"I'd like to se you try you sludge fuck." Naruto frowned.

"Why you!" The sludge villain growled.

"Hold it right there, sludgeball!"

Naruto and the sludge villain turned their heads behind Naruto to see someone walking up to them.

It was a fairly tall fair skinned woman having dark hair that was straight, kept shoulder-length with the exception of a clump of short bangs hanging above her forehead, and was styled in a half-up-half-down bun with matching eyes and had a small mole below her bottom lip, centered to the right a slender yet voluptuous frame with E-cup breasts wearing a dark sleeveless bodysuit with a high collar with a long white cape buttoned to the shoulders, yellow elbow-length gloves, a angular golden buckle with a small red cape attached around the waist which hung down to her knees, and white knee-high boots. This woman is Nana Shimura, known as the number one hero Gaia.

"You!" The sludge villain shouted in anger.

"Whoa, Gaia..." Naruto muttered in awe.

"Did you really think you could escape me? Naughty naughty." Gaia grinned waving her finger.

"You won't be thinking that when I take this boy hostage!" The sludge villain roared throwing his tentacles at Naruto.

"I don't think so you walking pile of shit!" Naruto said encasing his entire body in fire just as the sludge tentacles touch him before burning them off.

"AAAARGH! Damn you!" The sludge villain shouted in pain.

"Nice work, kid! I'll take it from here!" Gaia said before flying forward and appeared in front of the sludge villain. "Lights out!" She said pulling back her left fist as wind swirled around it and punched the villain making him splatter.

"With just one hit. That's the number one heroine for you." Naruto smiled at see such a feet.

After getting a bottle and putting the sludged villain inside it, Gaia turned around to Naruto.

"Thanks for the help in me obtaining this villain." She said.

"Oh heh, it was no problem." Naruto chuckled rubbing the back of his head.

"But that quirk of yours is something. I've seen some people produce fire but none to where it covers their entire body." Gaia said.

"That's because mine's different. It's called Dragon Force, it allows me to produce fire from anywhere of my body, I can eat anything fire related to replenish myself, and when I get really serious I can have dragon scales cover parts of my body making me twice as strong." Naruto explained.

"That sounds incredible!" Gaia laughed before walking up to Naruto and put a hand on his shoulder. "I just know if you continue to grow stronger, you'll be a magnificent hero."

"Thank you, Gaia!" Naruto beamed.

"Anyway I got to run. See ya later, cutey." Gaia winked before she flew in the air and away from the area.

Naruto didn't say anything for awhile as he just processed on what just happened.

"I just talk to Gaia, who said I could be a magnificent hero, and called me a cutey." Naruto muttered.

Suddenly his body was covered into an inferno and jumped high in the air.

"YAAAHOOOO! BEST DAY EVER!" Naruto cheered.

After he calmed down Naruto decided to make his way home but with a spring in his step and a huge smile on his face.

Twenty minutes later Naruto was almost reaching the point where he needed to turn around in order to go back to his home when heard a explosion. Perking up, he changed directions and began to run in the direction from which the sound of the explosion had come from.

It only took Naruto a few minutes, in which a few more explosions resounded, to reach the site of the disaster and his eyes widened when he saw the amount of people there looking on into the street that was littered with destroyed property and burning asphalt. Still, even with the big crowd of people watching on, he managed to make out the heroes that were trying to deal with the situation.

One of the heroes was holding back the crowd from approaching the danger zone from one end of the street and another was doing the same from the other end. Another hero was doing their best to control the fires that were threatening to increase in intensity and one more was using his wood powers to reduce the amount of destruction that was being caused. It was then when noticed the villain and his eyes widened when he saw that it was the sludge villain from a few minutes ago.

"He managed to escape Gaia again? The guy must be very good and more slippery than I thought." Naruto thought as he noticed that none of the heroes were trying to fight him. It took him a few seconds to realize why. "I think his sludge form likely gives him a resistance against physical blows, which means that some of the heroes won't be able to do anything. From the encounter with me and Gaia I think only one with elemental powers can affect him. I know from me he would be burned severly."

"Hey, why are the heroes not fighting the villain?"

"A schoolboy got caught. The villain is using his quirk to cause the explosions and the heroes cannot act in fear of harming him."

Naruto's eyes narrowed when he heard this and he focused his eyes more on the form of the villain only to gasp when he saw the sludge of the villain covering the form of Katsuki Bakugo, the person whom he disliked the most in the entire world, whose eyes were normally filled with arrogance and contempt but now were filled with despair and pain, as he pleaded for someone to help him.

Naruto knew what he had to do.

"Doesn't mean I have to like it."

Naruto generated fire from his feet and launched himself over the crowed and into the street before running towards the sludge villain ignoring the shouts of everyone else calling him to stop.

"Bakugo!" Naruto shouted as he ran towards them ignoring the blistering heat of the flames and the debris littering the street, evading them without losing speed.

"You!" The sludge villain shouted with a growl as he cocked a brightly glowing fist back.

Katsuki's eyes widened in disbelief when he saw Naruto of all people running towards him.

Naruto glared at the villain from spewing flames from his mouth hitting the sludge villain's face making him shout in pain shocking everyone.

Then, shocking everyone there further, Naruto had flames cover his arms and legs before he jumped leaving a ten feet wide and two feet deep crater in the place where he had stepped with his right foot and creating a flamey shockwave that misplaced the air at the sudden increase of his speed and twirled around covering the remaining distance between him and the sludge villain in the blink of an eye and he latched onto the villain, glaring heatedly into his eyes. "I'm going make you regret crawling out of your shithole." Naruto shouted. He cocked his left arm back and lashed out forwards with it, burying it up to his forearm into the form of the villain and grasping Bakugo by his clothes.

"Why are you doing this, Uzumaki?!" Katsuki glared at Naruto as he felt him grab his clothes.

"Shut the fuck up you idiot!" Naruto said glaring towards Katsuki as he tucked his knees into his body and pressed the sole of his feet into the villain before produced flames and he kicked out with both of his legs, separating himself and pulling out Katsuki from the villain, who was sent flying backwards a few dozen feet away, yelling in more pain.

Naruto flipped backwards to gain control of his airborne body and he landed on his feet, skidding backwards and destroying more concrete as his feet dug into the ground. He dropped Katsuki unceremoniously on the ground as he glared at the villain that was rubbing at the place where he had kicked him, where he could see the indents of his boot 'healing' as they were covered with more sludge. "Looks like I was right and my quirk cause him damage."

"Uzumaki..." Katsuki growled as he looked up at him from his place on the floor.

Naruto's eyes flickered towards him as he looked back at the sludge villain.

"We might hate each other, Bitchsuki, but let me remind you that my dream is to become a hero like my parents." Naruto said as his voice was being heard loud and clear as flames flicker from his body. "It's a hero's duty to put his life on the line to defend those that can't do it for themselves. That, and because your eyes were honestly calling for help. So I decided to help even an asshole like you."

Naruto's body becomes engulfed in intense flames and then punches the ground.

"Blast Burn!" He then sended a wave of energy into the earth which then moves underneath the sludge villain as the energy then bursts upwards in a giant explosion of red-orange flames.

When the smoke cleared the villain was knocked unconscious and sludge was plastered all over the place.

As the crowed cheered and rushed forward to Naruto, none of them noticed Gaia standing in a alleyway looking at Naruto in excitement and happiness.

"I think I found him. I've finally found him." She smirked.

Later

Naruto was walking back to his home with his hands behind his head still feeling the rush of excitement from today due to what happened again when he saved Katsuki from the sludge villain.

After everyone was done praising him and, curiously enough, Katsuki for their powerful quirks, they and the crowd of civilians were ushered away so the Heroes and the repair crews could quickly start dealing with the aftermath of the sludge villain's attack and the destruction caused by the fight respectively. When they left, Katsuki had shouted at him about him not needing his help and that his quirk was still stronger than his.

Naruto responded by punching him in the face knocking him down as said he wasn't the little pussy who needed help while crying like a baby and walked away leaving Katsuki filled with hate and humiliation.

"Man, I go out of my way to save his pathetic ass thinking he would learn some humidity and he has the nerve to say he didn't need it. One day life is gonna knock him down and I'll be there to laugh in his face, that ungrateful son of a none-related bitch." Naruto thought with a huff.

"Hey there!"

Naruto blinked twice hearing a shout before noticing Gaia standing in front of him. "Whoa, that is some impressive speed." He thought with a gulp. That was when the rest of his mind caught up with what he was seeing and his eyes widened in shock. "Gaia! What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to speak with you cutey." Gaia grinned as she noticed his surprised face.

"You wanted to speak with me? What about?" Naruto asked.

"Yes. I saw a taste of your power and I was even more impressed with what I witnessed. Earlier I said if you continue to grow stronger, you'll be a magnificent hero. But now... now I know that you can become one of the greatest hero ever. Even greater than me!" Gaia grinned proudly at him.

"What... what are you talking about, Gaia?" Naruto asked laughing in disbelief. "I know I might be one of best heroes later in life. But there's no way I can become greater than you. That's simply impossible!" He said sounding sure of that.

"That's where you are wrong, cutey! Why, you ask? For I have seen that you already have the best mindset a hero could have. One of selfness and willingness to put your life in the line for the sake of others. And if that wasn't enough, you have a very powerful and peculiar quirk that will make future villains quake in their boots from seeing it!" Gaia grinned knowingly.

Naruto's entire face was red and he resembled a tomato as he stared at Gaia, who was looking at him earnestly. He was so touched, happy and excited that he lost his ability to form words. So he could only respond by rubbing the back of his head and laugh sheepishly.

"It's because of this that I deem you worthy to inherit my quirk and become the next Symbol of Peace! The one whose name and presence strikes fear on the wicked and evil doers! Young man! You will be next torch bearer of One For All!" Gaia smirked at Naruto like he was the right choice.

Naruto could only blink in disbelief and amazement at all that went on today. Just what other incredible things were going to happen.

It was there he had a feeling he just tempted the universe.

There you have it for this chapter. Hope it meet your expectations.
