Chapter 4

Having revealed the dark history of Izuku's family and burdening with the heavy secrets of One for All's origin, All Might took back the 'American Dream Plan' from Izuku.

"A-All Might?" confused at his idol's actions, Izuku asked with a hiccup, his voice weary from the many secrets learnt today.

"The fact that you have the Sharingan changes things..." All Might slowly spoke as he regained his composure. " You have unlocked your own quirk, it would be a disservice to your ancestors and to you if we do not train it." He explained causing Izuku's solemn expression to brighten as he was still feeling euphoric at the fact he has his own quirk.

"Excuse me, but All Might, what about One for All?" Momo who was sitting beside Izuku interjected. Now understanding that this man meant know harm to her Izuku she relaxed a bit and asked in a polite voice.

"Naturally, I still intend for him to be my successor, and will train him accordingly, however my main focus will be training him to utilize the basics of his Sharingan. In time his body should be able to meet the minimum requirements to inherit my quirk." All Might responded as he looked towards the ocean, deep in thought.

Izuku's eyes hardened with resolve, a feeling of intense determination filled his being at the thought of getting stronger and learning his clan's techniques, as well as being able to inherit his mentor's quirk. He turned his head and looked at Momo, who was also lost in thought, a worried crease in her brow appeared as she began mumbling different training methods Izuku could incorporate. Izuku smiled at the familiar habit of mumbling that Momo picked up from being around him for so long, an immense feeling of appreciation flooded him as he thought about how she stood beside a quirkless loser all this time, despite the many people who told her he was useless, as well as the fact that even now she was planning on standing beside him despite knowing the burden he will now carry. 'This girl... I swear on my life I will become strong enough to be a hero you believe I can be.'

"All right..." All Might's voice brought the two out of their revere as he clapped his hands. "Today has been a long day and must have been a great shock to the both of you, there is no point furthering training today... go home and meet me here tomorrow. You as well young lady, if you intend to support my successor, the least I can do is give you pointers as well" All Might said as he recalled her launching a cannonball at him earlier. 'I'm curious about what her quirk is exactly, but know is not the time.' He thought.

"Yes Sir/Sensei" They both said as they made a hurried exit, both visibly anxious about what the future holds.

All Might Shivered at what he was about to do next. "It has to be done..." he muttered to himself as a shadowed image of a short old man with a cane glaring at him with exaggerated red eyes appeared in his mind.

The two quietly made their way to Izuku's house, both unsure what to say about the many secrets revealed to them today. The familiar sight of Izuku's house brightened their mood a bit as they finally got a place to settle down and think things through. Entering the house it appeared to be empty as Inko Midoriya appeared to be out, a paper stuck to the fridge catching their attention.

'Girls day out with Mitsuki, Katsudon in the fridge, love you.'

Both Momo and Izuku smiled at the short note. "Katsudon, yum." Izuku muttered, his spirit rising with his favorite food nearby.

His muttering caused Momo to let out an amused chuckle as she stared at his expression as he hurriedly went to heat the Katsudon, although the smile shortly fell of her face seeing his stiff movements, the weight of the burden, visibly affecting him, despite him trying to act strong. She slowly made her way behind him as he began to heat the food on the stove and wrapped her arms around him. "Hey, no matter what happens we can do this together." she softly said in his ear, "We even have the number one hero to train us." she comfortingly said in an effort to uplift his mood.

He turned around and return the embrace, many thoughts were circling around in his head. 'Will he be able to get strong enough', 'was he worthy', 'can he ensure what happened to his clan never happens again', 'will he be ever able to protect her instead of her protecting him' , 'Will they survive'. so many worries and doubts plagued his mind, but in this moment, seeing the sincerity and pure faith she had in him he could only mutter one thing. "Thank you."

"The Uchiha clan lives..." a short old man in a yellow and grey body suit with a yellow cape and cane stared the now skinny form of All Might in disbelief, "Toshinori...are you absolutely certain?" the old man asked with a grave expression

"I'm certain... he had the Sharingan" Toshinori replied to his teacher, a once well known hero by the name of 'Gran Torino'.

Gran Torino sighed, a slightly worried expression appeared on his face, as he looked at All Might with a serious expression, "If my guess is right then it would've been Sasuke who escaped, he's the only one Itachi couldn't harm even if it was to prevent All For One getting the Sharingan."

Toshinori bitterly smiled, "I had the same feeling."

"Indeed, give this to the boy, it's something I kept from the massacre. It is his birthright ." Gran Torino mused as he made his way to a loose floorboard under his rug revealing a large, heavy-looking, non-folding, wooden fan that has remained in pristine condition despite the many years.

"The Uchiha clan's ancestral weapon..." Toshinori breathed as he stared at the giant fan, stories of how Madara blew away armies with just the raw strength of swinging the gunbai alone.

"The brat will need to be trained properly, no half assing this Toshinori." Gran Torino sternly said, "once you've taught him the basics, I will see where he stands."

"Teacher!" Toshinori gasped, he was about to reject as he recalled the brutal and terrifying training Gran Torino put him through, but then the memory of All For One's terrifying strength appeared in his mind erasing any form of resistance to the idea.

"Quiet brat" Gran Torino silenced his protest, "now go plan a proper schedule for the boy, and make sure you teach him properly!" Gran Torino exclaimed as he kicked Toshinori out with the gunbai. Alone in the room he stared at the fire burning in his fireplace. "Heh, It appears that I can finally make amends for my biggest regret" his stern face softened slightly as the heavy burdens that weighed him down slightly lessened.

The next day

At the same spot as yesterday the sight of two teens could be seen as they made their way towards an emaciated man sitting on the trunk of a pickup truck.

"Good you're both here early." All Might said as he handed Izuku a booklet with the title 'Uchiha Revival Plan.'

"Sensei...what's this?" Izuku asked as he began to read the booklet ,on it was a revised diet as well as a more intense training exercise along with special time periods where he would explore his quirk. his eyes widened at the intensity, but then narrowed with determination.

"Good answer Midoriya." All Might chuckled seeing the determination in Izuku's eyes grow as he read more of the plan. "Now, young Miss if I am to help you, what it your quirk?" All Might asked Momo as Izuku continued to read the plan.

She nodded her head in understanding "My quirk is called creation and it allows me to create anything I know the structural components of by converting the lipids in my body."

His eyes recalled the cannonball yesterday, thinking about how quickly it must have been made and how she remembered it instinctively 'This girl must be a genius or something...' All Might thought with a sweat drop. "Do you have a list of the things you can make?" All Might asked needing to see what her range is to set a training method"

She nodded and handed him her lexicon of structural constructs, or as she likes to call it, her Yaoyorictionary.

"Do you possess any other skills?" He questioned, as he sweat dropped skimming through the many different objects within the book 'This girl...' All might thought amazed at the huge range of her quirk.

"Both Izukun and I have trained in many different dojos and have learnt many different forms, I am able to use a variety of weapons in tandem with my quirk." Momo spoke in a professional tone as she gave an honest analysis of her skill set.

"Good, I shall make a training guide for you soon, for today we will work on minimizing the amount of lipids needed to create an object" All Might responded after a short while as he quickly identified the weakness in her quirk being limited to the lipids in her body.

"Yes sensei. "She responded hearing what All Might has planned, excited at being able to extend the amount she can create.

"Midoriya my boy, come here, you too Yaoyorozu." All Might called Izuku over as he finished reading the dream plan. All Might's face became unreadable. Izuku made his way closer to All Might with Momo following shortly behind, All Might reached into the trunk of the truck. "My boy, this is Madara's Gunbai..." He transformed into his buff form and lifted the gunbai with one hand.

Izuku and Momo's eyes widened upon hearing this was something from the Uchiha clan," W-What!" Izuku exclaimed, with Momo beside him looking just as shocked as she studied the gunbai in detail. An unknown feeling rised up within Izuku as he stared at it, this was something that belonged to Madara, something that belonged to his ancestor.

"This gunbai was retrieved from the clan compound after 'the incident'." All Might tactfully said, although it still caused both teens to flinch as they remembered the fate of the Uchiha clan. "It was the only thing from his family that the original wielder of one for all could keep as he fled from his brother. The gunbai is extremely durable, capable of blocking many attacks from weapons and quirks alike and Madara was said to be so proficient in it that he was strong enough to blow away armies with just the strength of the swing itself." All Might explained in an awed tone, still amazed that this legendary weapon was right here in his hand.

The two teen's eyes were wide open as they stared at the weapon in shock.

"N-No way..." Momo muttered as she heard the history of the weapon.

"I-incredible..." Izuku said in shock as he stared at the gunbai, 'My ancestors were amazing...' Izuku thought to himself, his self doubt from the years of abuse acted up again, 'Am I worthy to be the last survivor?'

"Go ahead my boy, it's yours" All Might said, his face not showing any emotions.

Izuku, startled at the request, could only nod his head in agreement. His trembling hands reached forward and grasped the handle of the gunbai as his body slightly shook with emotion. He firmly grasped the gunbai as All Might released his grip. "Eh...?" Izuku exclaimed in shock as he felt the gunbai drag him down, causing him to fall.

"Izukun!" Momo exclaimed as she hurriedly went to help Izuku up, as All Might's boisterous laugh sounded out, causing Izuku to look at him in confusion and Momo to glare at him.

"I'm sorry my boy." He softly chuckled as he wiped a tear from his eye, " But this will be the first leg of your training. You will have to be strong enough to lift this on your own, right now you're too weak but after following the guide you'll be fine now, chop chop let's get cleaning! "All Might yelled in an effort to motivate Izuku" and keep your quirk on!" he yelled as Izuku hurriedly activated his quirk as he scrambled to begin moving the garbage away from the beach, a desire to get stronger, not just for being a hero, burned in his eyes, but a desire to live up to his legacy and bring his clan back to glory one day.

4 months later

A total of 4 months went by in a flash, both Izuku and Momo trained exceptionally hard with Izuku coming before and after school to clean the beach and Momo coming to train her quirk under All Might's supervision whenever she was free from her busy schedule, which was rare due to her schools high demand on academics.

Many changes has occurred during these 4 months within the two teens such as Momo gaining a better control over her quirk, using less lipids in the process, meaning she is able to create more objects as well as her beginning to attempt to create more and more complex objects such as a simple electronic device such as a flashlight.

For Izuku however, a larger gain could be seen as he was now able to keep his Sharingan active for an hour and, while he was removing trash from the beach, he had to dodge a countless number of rubber balls that All Might had Momo make in quick succession as part of her training. He now was able to react faster to the things he sees when his quirk slows down his perception of time, as well as allowing him to faintly see when someone's quirk was being used, which was extremely useful for example if someone tried to secretly use a quirk while his was active, he would know.

Luckily any long term repercussions of him overdoing his work outs were prevented by Momo during the second month. He internally chuckled at the memory.

Izuku panted as he hurriedly opened the door to their favorite cafe, his clothes appeared to be hastily put on and his body was slightly shaking, "I'm here!" he exclaimed as he sat at their usual booth as he rapidly tried to regain his breath.

She looked at him worriedly "How are you feeling? Are you still sick?" she asked looking at him in concern.

"I've been taking something for it" He carefully responded, making sure to keep any hint of weakness from his voice knowing how worried she will be if anything is wrong with him.

"If you're sure" she remarked hesitantly, "You aren't overworking are you? Today is supposed to be a rest day" She asked with slightly narrowed eyes.

"What! No I'm following the plan word for word." Izuku attempted to lie, as he nervously laughed off the question.

She stared at him for a while, "If you say so..." She responded to his attempt at lying. 'Silly Izukun, that was too obvious' she thought with a shake of her head and a slightly narrowed eyed expression.

Izuku released a breath of air after seemingly fooling Momo, even though he felt guilty about lying, he needed to keep working, everyone entering U.A. had years with their quirks...he only had 2 months.

An hour had passed when Momo looked at her phone. "Oh shoot, I need to be somewhere" she said as she hugged Izuku and left.

Izuku quickly left the cafe and made his way home, there he began to lift more weights as he hurried to catch up on the training he missed while hanging with Momo.

"So this is you not overdoing it?" A voice sounded behind him, startling as he dropped his weights to the floor only to see Momo behind him with an unreadable expression on her face.

"M-Momo, I can explain!" Izuku hurriedly exclaimed.

"Save it, you should be resting Bed, now." She commanded as Izuku hurried to his room, knowing that he was in the wrong for lying and didn't put up a fight.

About half an hour later, after Izuku showered and changed clothes he was lying down in bed when Momo came in with a tray of Hot soup and some medication.

Seeing her face still unreadable, Izuku earnestly apologized."I-I'm sorry Mochan." he hurriedly said.

After seeing his earnest expression and hearing his apology she sighed and placed the tray on a nearby table and sat on the bed near him, "You can't keep overworking yourself Izukun, It's not safe." she worriedly said as her expression finally changed revealing the clear concern in her eyes.

Izuku clenched his fists at hearing her words, the feeling of helplessness within him grew, all his insecurities from being told he was useless all his life boiled over, the stress of being the next wielder of One for all as well as the weight of his nearly extinct clan along with the possible enemies who will be after his life caused him to shed a tear as he looked at Momo desperately. "I need to get stronger" the pure desperation in his voice tore at Momo's emotions, "I've only just found my quirk, compared to everyone who's had theirs for all their lives, I'm still 'The useless Deku'! He self depreciatingly said, "So many people out there deserve to be All Might's Successor." he couldn't stop the flow of tears as his worries poured out, "Since Dad is dead, I'm the last remaining Uchiha, how can I, a failure carry out my clan's legacy and stop All for One."

The sheer desperation and desolation in his voice broke her heart as she could only hold Izuku in an effort to comfort him as she cried along with him. A few minutes passed and Momo pulled back to look Izuku in the eye, both their faces were covered in tears and their eyes were red but Momo pressed on "You are the strong, the strongest person I know" She continued, ignoring Izuku's attempt at contradicting her, "Despite growing up not having a quirk, you have the strongest drive to be a hero, no matter what anyone said, you kept on fighting, and that is what All Might sees in you as well. You deserve this Izuku, you've earned this and as for your clan, they're your family, you are their legacy and nothing can change that, and I will support you every step of the way." She emotionally stated as she tried to get through Izuku's insecurities and seeing his watery smile and lightened expression she sighed in relief upon seeing that smile, knowing that everything will be ok. she got up to get his soup and turn around to see him already sleeping.

She softly smiled as she placed the tray back down and gently pet his hair, "I believe you will be the greatest hero yet..."

He and Momo made their way to where All Might stood he stared at the gunbai that everyday, All Might would place in the ground as motivation for him to get stronger, "All Might today I will claim my inheritance." He proclaimed with confidence in his every word as he stared at the Gunbai

A.N.

Indeed...I'm alive... so yeah this was a short chapter just to get back into the habit of writing, hopefully I won't take as long next time, and as for my other story, it isn't abandoned, it's just very tedious to transcribe an episode and i get distracted from it quite easily, I do enjoy writing both these stories, it will just take a while to get into the habit of it, but rest assured, for all those who like it, it isn't abandoned.

as for this, yeah not much was done in this chapter, but as I said, it's just something to get me back into writing, any advice will be appreciated. I'm planning on All Might helping Momo speed up her creation time as well as use the least amount of lipids possible, maybe have her be able to create gaseous objects to possibly mimic something similar to Midnight's quirk or create liquids to maybe mimic something similar to Mina's quirk... Honestly Her quirk is damn terrifying.

As for Izuku, he's not gonna have the same fighting style as canon, sure he'll be close combat orientated, but the gunbai opens a lot of possibilities, especially long ranged... can you imagine a full cowl Izuku swinging that gunbai, plus the sharingan will allow him to be more methodical than relying on pure power in his strikes, also the fact that he was close with momo growing up and that she always believed in him, i see it within reason that she got him to join in her training, even if he has no quirk, his body would have been more developed than in canon and he'll now some martial arts so he can put in the time to train his quirk as well.

Since the two are life long best friends and have feelings for each other, hopefully it feels natural and not forced... basically what I'm aiming for is a case where they're basically already in a relationship it's just that they're the only ones who don't realize it
