Alright, here we go with chapter 2. I've got my old drafts so this is going pretty fast. Besides, there is not much to change in this chapter. Most of the differences are technical ones, taking care of old errors, making my writing better and grammatical stuff. Since I was happy with how this chapter turned out... oh well, besides, the biggest difference story-wise would be actually me removing certain sections altogether.

In case you remember, by this time, in the last version, I had already teased a certain villain multiple times along with a few mystery characters. I removed them for now, won't go well with what I am going for. So, yea, if you were expecting huge differences, sorry, but not yet. The USJ would happen completely differently though due to certain factors.

One, Naruto does not have the wood release, two, the mystery villain is not associated with League of Villains yet. So, there you go. Anyhow, that is all I got, last time I only got to Sports Festival anyway so that's not too far out. Most of the changes so far in the background, the kind of changes that have ripple effects but are not visible to the naked eye.

And if you are a new reader who did not read the last version, hope you enjoy. As for the people asking for pairings, I don't know about that. I am not good at romance.

"Talking"

Chapter 2 The Hero training

"Did you talk to All Might yesterday?" Izuku asked Naruto as they walked towards their class. The green-haired young man was anxious to talk to his mentor after finding out about his sibling student? his senior? Izuku was confused while the blonde was simply amused.

"Nope," Naruto shrugged putting an emphasis on the 'P' as he walked cheerfully with his hands behind his head. "He didn't pick up my calls, who knows what the old man is up to."

"He didn't answer mine either," Izuku mumbled before he caught the sight of a shiny object around Naruto's neck which he could see due to his shirt being loosely tied, "What's that? I saw you wearing it yesterday but I forgot to ask about it."

"Hm? oh this?" Naruto responded pulling out a slim green crystal? or was it a gem? Izuku wondered as Naruto answered, "It was the only thing I had on when All Might found me... apart from my clothes that is. It looks expensive, doesn't it? I am guessing it's a family heirloom or something. I just like to keep it on me."

"I-it's beautiful," Izuku responded... trying not to feel awkward since somehow he kept bringing up topics related to Naruto's past without even meaning to.

"So, what's the deal between you and Explosion asshole?" Naruto asked specifically due to the incident where Bakugou tried to rush Izuku.

"It's complicated," Izuku sighed sadly, "K-Kacchan and I used to be friends when w-we were little. Then his Quirk manifested and i-it all changed. Everybody started praising him for his amazing Quirk and he started l-looking down on everyone else as a result... he l-looked down on me the most since I was Quirkless," Midoriya explained, "Students were either in awe of him or afraid... and teachers never a-admonished him because they saw that he had a lot of potential to be a hero."

"That explains it I guess," Naruto nodded with a frown. "Superiority complex."

The rest of their walk turned out to be rather silent and boring which was generally the same feeling most of the class had about their day in school... it turned out to be so... normal.

English under Present Mic's tutelage had proved to be a dreadfully boring to start the day. That sentiment was shared by the vast majority of Class 1A, save for Yaoyorozu Momo and Iida Tenya, who were eager to engage in all the activities their teacher had set up. Izuku supposed it was to be expected of U.A. to have basic regular classes as well even in the hero course. Most of the class during the period seemed to be utterly bored, hell, Izuku was certain he could catch a glimpse of Naruto actually dozing off a little near the back.

Most of the classes before lunch were pretty mundane such as history which was being taught by Midnight... the one class where boys were paying more attention to the teacher than girls were. Then there was literature being taught by Cementoss.

Over lunch, Izuku spent his time with his group of friends which included, Ochaco, Naruto and Iida. While Naruto was busy devouring Ramen like there was no tomorrow, Iida was busy apologizing for assisting Naruto in 'pranking' him despite him assuring Iida that it was ok. All the while Ochaco happily slurped her juice watching the scene unfold in front of her.

After lunch came the one class that everyone was excited about: Hero Training. This probably would have gotten everyone excited, but the fact that it was All Might teaching them made everyone start oozing joy and good vibes.

"I AM HERE!" All Might's familiar over the top voice shouted, "coming through the door! like a normal person!" The hulking figure of the #1 pro-hero entered the room carefully as not to break anything by accident. All Might strode into the room as whispers of awe spread out in the room ranging from about All Might's silver age costume to the fact that he was actually here.

Izuku had star-eyes and a huge smile on his face as he could feel All Might's presence spread into the room sending the feeling of reassurance over the students. It was an amazing feeling.

"Welcome, children, to Hero Training! Of all your classes, this is the one that'll really whip you all into shape on the path to becoming true Heroes," The #1 Hero boomed from behind his desk, "Let's get right into it! Today we'll be doing… combat training!"

This revelation drew numerous excited gasps from the class, with a certain volatile blond being particularly enthusiastic. Most of the class was very excited at the prospect of showing off their abilities and to learn how to fight.

"To make sure you all look the part of heroes... " And suddenly several containers appeared out of the sidewall, "Costumes made based on your Quirk registrations and requests you sent in before school started, Grab your stuff young ones and gather in the ground Beta!"

Ignoring the shouts and yells of excitement out of the heroes in training All Might continued, "Remember boys and girls, your costume and gadgets that you bring in battle are very important. And do not forget... that from now on, you are all officially heroes!"

All Might watched over the next generation of heroes in their costumes with his signature grin on his face. Most of them had a unique outlook on their costumes and while some had gone with something a little different.

There were some like Tenya Iida who wore his family's signature style armor costume, then there was Ojiro who wore a plain Karate gi as his costume.

Then All Might's eyes trailed over to his first student whose costume he already had an idea due to his young charge had discussed it with him already. He was wearing a white-colored upper bodysuit with a big red swirl representing a Maelstrom... he also had red shoulder platings and fingerless gloves. On his waist, he had a belt that contained most of his emergency supplies such as medicine, bandages, etc. Oddly enough, he had belt orange-colored since he always did like that particular color. On the bottom part of his body were blue combat pants along with nearly knee-high red-colored boots to go with his overall color scheme. Although it didn't look like it, his upper body skin suit was very light and actually sturdy enough to provide extra protection since Naruto was a close combat fighter. When asked why those particular colors, the blond would always simply smile and say, they look friendly.

On the other hand, Midoriya Izuku's costume made him flattered and nearly laugh at the same time due to how obviously inspired it was by him. It was a green full-body jumpsuit with a red belt, elbow pads, knee pads, and gloves, along with red boots. He also wore a mask with long bunny ear-like protrusions that resembled All Might's own haircut, and a respirator with a smile on it that also reflected his own signature grin. All Might stifled a laugh and gave both his students a subtle thumbs up.

"That's great, everyone! You all look cool!" the Number One Hero praised when they all came to a halt before him, his sparkling grin widening. "Now, shall we begin, you zygotes?"

"Hai!" The class responded with unity... with eager smiles on their faces that matched their level of excitement.

"Now, it's time for combat training!" All Might announced.

"Question, Sensei!" Iida asked with a raised hand under his heavy armor, "This is a battle center from the entrance exam, so will we be conducting urban battles again?"

"No, Young Iida, Today's lesson will focus on indoor combat training," All Might answered, "Most of the time, fighting villains takes place outside, but if you look at the statistics, atrocious villains appear indoors at a higher rate. Imprisonment, house arrest, backroom deals… in this society filled with heroes, most intelligent and dangerous villains hide in the shadows. For this reason, you will all be split into two-person teams and take part in two versus two battles!"

"Without basic training?" The frog-like girl asked.

"The best way to learn is through experience in a controlled environment," All Might responded, "However, the key this time is that there's no robot you can just beat up."

While the class erupted into a multitude of questions, Naruto silently walked towards Izuku, "Nice costume," the blonde whispered with a smirk.

"Ah, thank you," Izuku rubbed the back of his neck with a nervous laugh, "It's not too obvious, i-is it?"

"Not unless someone was comparing you to the Old Man," Naruto responded with a shrug, "So, you nervous?"

"A little," Izuku admitted, "Everyone here is so strong, they have all worked so hard to get here."

"So have you," Naruto responded, "Think of this as a spar... that will make it better,"

"Ok! This is the situation!" All Might yelled out halting their conversation as he pulled out a script making Naruto sight at his antics since he was used to them. "The situation you all will reenact is that the villains have hidden a nuclear weapon somewhere in their hideout. The heroes are trying to dispose of that. The heroes need to catch the villains or get the nuclear weapon back in the allotted time. The villains need to protect the nuclear weapon for the whole time or catch the heroes. Teams and opponents will be determined by drawing lots!"

"Is it ok to decide the teams at a chance, sensei?" Iida asked with surprise evident in his voice, "Considering that most of us do not know each other that well."

"Heroes often work with people they do not know," All Might responded, "It is something all of you young ones will have to learn as well..." Seeing as the students had understood his point, All Might asked everyone to pick a ball out of the box which would decide their pairings. After everything was done, the teams turned out to be,

Team A: Uzumaki Naruto and Yaoyorozu Momo

Team B: Kaminari Denki and Fumikage Tokoyami

Team C: Aoyama Yuga and Sato Rikido

Team D: Iida Tenya and Kirishima Eijiro

Team E: Asui Tsuyu and Hagakure Toru

Team F: Sero Hanta and Ojiro Mashirao

Team G: Midoriya Izuku and Uraraka Ochaco

Team H: Todoroki Shoto and Jiro Kyoka

Team I: Bakugo Katsuki and Ashido Mina

Team K: Shoji Mezo and Koda Koji

"I guess we're teammates," Momo's voice called out from behind Naruto and Izuku.

"Wassup? I am Uzumaki Naruto... nice to meetcha." The blonde introduced himself with a carefree grin.

"I know... I heard you yesterday, it was a very... unique introduction." Momo replied with a pleasant smile on her face. Izuku could feel when he wasn't needed so he quietly excused himself to let the two discuss... whatever it was they were discussing.

"I was just making a point," Naruto replied with his hands behind his head.

"I know, well, as you may already know, I am Yaoyorozu Momo," The black-haired girl replied, "I was hoping we could talk so maybe we can form a few strategies with our quirks,"

"You're too rigid... lighten up a bit," Naruto replied with a shrug.

"I-I'll take that into consideration," Momo replied, slightly taken off by the blonde's words, "Anyhow, My Quirk is Creation... it allows me to form non-organic objects as long as I understand how something is made... Your Quirk allows you to create clones, if I remember correctly, Uzumaki-san?"

"The first teams to fight will be… these guys!" All Might exclaimed, earning Naruto's attention revealing the letters D and A.

"Team A will be villains and Team D will be the heroes."

"Looks like we're up," Naruto exclaimed, "Follow me to victory!" The blonde declared happily with Momo following behind while shaking her head with a sweatdrop and a large sigh. Her teammate was certainly eccentric alright.

Naruto and Momo approached the building where the training was to take place before the brunette called out to her teammate, "Wait, Uzumaki-san, is there a limit to how many clones you can create?"

"Um, I get tired if I keep creating too many," Naruto replied with a deep frown, "But I can keep making hundreds of them without issue."

"Then it shouldn't be a problem," Momo replied pulling out some objects from her skin... Naruto had to admit, her quirk was interesting all right, "These are portable wireless cameras that are directly connected to this Tablet. Can you have your clones plant them at every entrance and windows on the first floor? And any other general areas that will allow us to monitor the building?"

"Sure can," Naruto responded making a hand sign in response creating a dozen clones that each received a camera from the young girl and ran disappeared into the building.

Both members of Team A entered the building and made their way over to the fake bomb.

"Don't," Naruto interrupted Momo as she was about to blockade the door, "Tenya's Quirk makes him extremely fast and his legs are also very strong due to his momentum, not to mention durable... he will be able to break through the wall."

"I see, I forgot you two went to the same middle school," Momo mumbled, "Any weakness?"

Naruto crossed his arms for a moment and seemed to be lost in thought before he suddenly smirked.

All Might watched with interest as his first student and young Momo prepared for the arrival of the heroes. All Might was 99% certain that the villain team was going to win. He supposed it was not fair of him to have favorites but he was just being realistic or maybe it was his pride... he knew his student.

The fact that Young Momo seemed to have a really good quirk and a good head on her shoulders did not help the chances of the hero team either.

"Who do you think is going to win, Deku-kun?" Ochaco asked loud enough for everyone to hear, "You seem to know two of them pretty well,"

"A-ah," Izuku mumbled nervously noticing how everyone's eyes were on him, "I-it's hard to say... um, I don't know most of their abilities. But of course, with Naruto-san's quirk, they will have a solid numbers advantage."

"Are they allowed to do that?" Sero asked pointing out to Momo pulling out cameras.

"Yes Of course!" All Might nodded, "They are a part of Young Yaoyorozu's quirk, even if they weren't, they'd be allowed. As heroes, you are expected to prepare for anything, Villains will do anything and everything to prepare for your arrival. Team A is making well of their five minutes,"

The class nodded at his explanation as they watched Naruto whip out a bunch of clones, all of whom dispersed taking the cameras.

"You weren't kidding out about the numbers advantage," Denki muttered from his position.

"The time limit is fifteen minutes, and the heroes don't know where the nuclear weapon is located, right?" The pink-skinned girl asked.

"Yes!"

"Then it would seem that this test was set up in a way that would give a clear advantage to the villains," Asui noted calmly.

"Indeed it is!" All Might confirmed.

"That's not fair!" Sero protested

"Isn't that the point?" A calm voice responded from the back... Shoto Todoroki watched silently without explaining further.

"Indeed," Tokoyami... the boy with the face of a blackbird nodded, "It is as Aizawa-sensei said yesterday, the jobs of pros are not always fair. Villains in the real world usually have an advantage in the form of traps, lack of morals, Heroes, on the other hand, have to respond in the spur of the moment."

"Excellently put Young Tokoyami," All Might praised to which the said young man simply nodded. "Heroes should be able to turn the tables no matter what kind of predicament they find themselves in! That is one of the qualities we hope to teach here at U.A.!"

It didn't take Iida and Kirishima long to find a window to sneak through into the building... not knowing about the cameras. Both of them took cautious steps into the hallway coming to a midsection... just as they were deciding which way to go, three clones of Naruto jumped Kirishima from behind.

One of the clones immediately took advantage of the surprise from the other team and rushed at Iida. The speedster was ironically enough, not fast enough to dodge and was punched hard in the stomach... it was only due to his armor that he did not roll over in pain.

The armored student tried to throw a counter punch but the clone just sidestepped and used Iida's extended arm to throw him over his shoulder.

"Iida!" Kirishima shouted instantly hardening his body against the multiple blows he was receiving. His hardened body allowed him to completely shrug off the multi-directional attack from the clones. The red-haired boy swung his arm and hit one of the clones, destroying it while the other duck under the wide haymaker. The clone swept Kirishima off his feet causing him to fall to the ground and went to punch him in the face.

Kirishima smirked as the clone gasped in pain and grabbed his hand before he struck him in the stomach causing it to pop in smoke much to his confusion... he didn't even know that was supposed to happen.

Kirishima quickly got to his feet and rushed in to attack the third clone standing over Iida but the blonde merely dodged both of his wide swings and jumped over him before kicking him in the back sending him to the ground face first.

"Catch me if you can, you stone-faced prick!" The blonde shouted giving him the middle finger which seemed to piss off the hardened teenager.

"Come here and fight me like a man! you bastard!" Kirishima yelled as the blonde ran and disappeared around the corner.

"Wait!" Iida called to his partner getting to his feet, "He is trying to lure you towards that way which means the weapon must be the other way, it must be a trap."

"As if I care," Kirishima replied with his eye twitching, "It's not like he can hurt me anyway, I'll go capture that blonde bastard."

"Wait!" Iida tried calling out once more to his teammate's retreating back to no avail before he sighed, he seemed to be in thought for a moment before he turned around and walked towards his objective. Iida walked cautiously in case of another ambush as he reached the top room.

Carefully he peeked around the corner and saw about 6 clones of Naruto and Momo guarding the paper bomb. Iida was focusing on how to retrieve the bomb while trying not to curse at his teammate's idiocy for getting distracted.

"You can come out, Four-eyes," One of the clones called out, "We know you're there, we placed Cameras in the building earlier, you know?"

Iida not knowing what to do hesitantly stepped out from his hiding spot and took his fighting stance. His eyes darted around towards the grinning blondes and Momo who stood in the back with a gun in hand.

"D-don't you think that's a bit much?" Iida asked hesitantly pointing at the gun.

"Rubber bullets," Momo replied curtly, "They're not dangerous... but they do sting."

"So, then, will you surrender?" One of the clones asked casually.

"Heh, None of you is the original, is it?" Iida asked with sweat flowing from his forehead, "The Original must have gone after Kirishima which means, I can beat all of you with a single attack... which only leaves Yaoyorozu-san."

"Assuming you can beat us before the real Uzumaki-san captures Kirishima-san." The creation user interrupted aiming her handgun directly at Iida trying to put as much pressure on Iida as she could... truth be told, the gun was a fake... she had no intention of shooting her classmate... it was just a bluff.

"Naruto can't hurt Kirishima through his hardened skin... as demonstrated by his clones," Iida called back trying to come with a plan.

"Tch, you underestimate the boss... you of all people," One of the clones shook his head, "You do remember that the boss has two Quirks, right?" Both Iida and Momo gasped in realization and surprise respectively... but unfortunately for Iida, Naruto had never shown him his strength quirk, "But you have no idea what it is... so, tell me, would you surrender now? or after the boss has captured your teammate?"

"I'll beat you both before then!" The armored student declared before he took off as fast as he could directly towards the bomb but he was halted by two clones who jumped in front of him forcing him to come to a halt. Iida turned around and saw a clone running at him, using his engine and quick reflexes, the armored teenager swung his leg with full strength connecting directly to the clone's midsection destroying it immediately.

This went on for a few minutes where Iida would run around avoiding clones and destroying a few until while running he came to a hard stop due to the loud gunshot noise. Iida turned towards the source of the sound which was Yaoyorozu... he was so shaken up from that sound that he never noticed when a trap net dropped from ceiling wrapping him up. Iida panicked tried to free himself from the net when he was punched in his armored face... although it wasn't strong enough to seriously hurt him... it was strong enough to send him reeling. Iida felt himself being picked up and slammed face-first into the ground.

Momo watched in silence as one of the clones drove his knee in Iida's back and held him in place while the other two cut the net open with knives and tied capture tape around Iida's legs. The plan worked perfectly... it was fairly simple and straight forward... most of the time, people expect something convoluted and never notice the simplest explanation that is in front of them.

On the other side of the building, Kirishima stalked into an empty room where there were Naruto was waiting for him with his hands behind his back.

"Found you," Kirishima grinned.

"Did you?" Naruto asked with his own toothy grin, "Or did you just fall into a trap?"

"Doesn't matter... you can't hurt me!" Kirishima declared confidently.

"Oh, I don't have to," Naruto replied, "Quick advice... always check the corners when you enter an unknown room."

Kirishima turned around in confusion only to see a blonde blur rushing into his field of a view before he felt some sort of a mechanical device being connected to his body... and suddenly he felt shocked... literally.

Kirishima shuddered as he felt electricity rushing through his muscles as he was being tased. Even though he was not hurt in the slightest since his body Quirk was highly resistant to shock waves and heat, but he wasn't completely immune. Kirishima felt too dazed to retaliate as he was punched off his feet... and felt himself being kicked in four different places in his back making his body rise up... the red-haired boy opened his eyes only to see a foot heading for his face.

"Uzumaki combo complete!" Naruto grinned as Kirishima crashed into the ground head first completely cracking the floor underneath. He knew it was not enough to knock him out but he didn't need to. Kirishima shook his head to free himself of the dizziness and faint throbbing in his head but All Might's booming voice and the capture tape over his wrist made him realize that it was already over.

"VILLAIN TEAM WINS!"

"You ok there, Ginder head?" Naruto asked crouching down.

"Yea," Kirishima replied rubbing his head a little, "Just a little dizzy... you hit hard. What was that shock? I am usually very resistant to electric shockwaves."

"A very... very high-velocity taser," Naruto replied with a grin.

Before the two could continue talking, the sound of booming footsteps heading towards them drew their attention. Tracing the source led the pair to a beaming All Might entering the room with his sparky teeth shining despite the lack of sunlight.

"Spectacular effort, Young Men," All Might praised loudly, "Come, We will discuss this in the control room!"

Naruto groaned when All Might gave him a not so subtle nod and thumbs up... it was only due to Kirishima being a blockhead that he missed it. Both of them followed All Might out of the building and joined up with Yaoyorozu and Iida who were already outside waiting for them.

It was a silent walk back into the control room with Iida still upset about how he'd lost while Kirishima seemed to be mumbling something about 'unmanly ambushes' under his breath, Momo, on the other hand, was going over Naruto's apparent second Quirk that he didn't use during the test... was it true or did he just lie to rile up Iida?

"OK!" All Might boomed getting the class to focus and stop for murmuring amongst themselves, "Before, I move to announce the MVP of this match... I need to hear your plan, Young Uzumaki, Young Yaoyorozu!"

Naruto looked at Momo who nodded before he started, "Well, to start off, as you probably saw through the monitors, Momo created a bunch of cameras that I put around all the entrances which allowed us to monitor which way the Hero team was sneaking in." The blonde's brow furrowed not sure how to explain further... seeing this Momo sighed and took over for her teammate.

"After we made it to the paper bomb, we decided that the best course of action would be to separate our opponents since we had an overwhelming numbers advantage due to Uzumaki-san's clones. While we were aware of Iida-san's Quirk and weakness due to his shared history with Uzumaki-san, Kirishima-san was an unknown... which is where the clones played an important part."

"What does that mean?" Mina asked curiously

"I receive all the memories and experiences from my clones when they are destroyed," Naruto explained, "So, it is my usual strategy to send my clones as a scout to get a feeling and to perhaps study the person I am supposed to be fighting. Anyway, Momo here figured out that Kirishima would real easy to lure into a fight, while four-eyes would be too focused on the objective to do anything else... you're too stiff I tell ya." Naruto grinned pointing at the creation user who ignored him calling by her first name realizing that the blonde was not a fan of formalities. Iida, on the other hand, had an urge to smack the blonde for his nickname but he was used to it by now.

"You ambushed me!" Kirishima accused with his finger pointed at the blonde, "How dirty!"

"A surprise attack is just another viable strategy," All Might chided. "You should forget about the concept of fairness in a fight where your life is on the line, for villains will take whatever advantage they can get!"

"If I may ask," Iida interjected adjusting his glasses having removed his helmet, "What weakness were you referring to?"

"You're predictable," Naruto grinned, "You're fast... but you usually run in a straight line and always come to a halt before changing directions. Knowing that, it was easy to lead you to the center of the room under the trap... once you were there Momo would shoot her fake gun creating a loud enough diversion... which would hopefully be enough to stop you in your tracks due to the surprise and shock... and it worked!"

"I see," Iida nodded, "Very impressive, I shall take that into consideration so that I may improve myself in the future."

"Once I saw Uzumaki-san's clones leading Kirishima-san away successfully," Momo continued her explanation, "I created the highest-velocity taser I could which would have been very dangerous for most people but given how Kirishima-san's Quirk behave like a hardened rock, I was positive that it would only stun him for a moment."

"I see," All Might nodded, "This is very unusual, while Young Uzumaki did most of the fighting against his two opponents... Young Yaoyorozu planned all of it and created the tools that allowed Young Uzumaki to succeed. Hmm... for that reason, I declare you both worthy of being the MVP for this match!"

"And now for the hero team!" The #1 Pro turned towards them, "Young Kirishima, you need to learn to control your temper. You allowed yourself to be lured into a trap easily while Young Iida was too focused on his objective and completely ignored his ally in favor of completing the mission. Not to mention, both of you need to learn to watch your surroundings carefully, a core weakness that led to both of your defeats," Iida nodded shamefully while Kirishima grumbled a little but nodded nonetheless, "Now for the next match of the day... it's going to be, Villain Team I and the Hero Team G!"

Izuku found himself sighing heavily ignoring the drowsiness he felt after the Hero training. Most matches went pretty well, he even ended up getting a lot of material for his notes on his classmates. By the time his turn came, it was a bit of a mess... by fate, he ended up facing against Bakugo. He shook his head, that went as well as he expected.

"Why are we here?" Izuku asked looking around the beach he had cleared... after ten months, it just looked like a different place.

"I've decided," Naruto replied stretching his body... going through his warm-up routine. It was late night after they had their battle training which proceeded smoothly for the most part. Most of them ended up being what Naruto had expected them to be, however, the one that stood out the most was Todoroki... the stoic boy with bi-colored hair completely decimated the opposition team with his ice... not giving any of the other three students in the match a chance to do anything.

"Decided what?" Izuku asked with a confused brow.

"To teach you how to fight," Naruto replied evenly not bothering to stop stretching out, "Listen... you need to learn how to fight effectively instead of just throwing wild haymakers in hopes of catching the opponent by surprise."

"I guess," Izuku nodded unsurely... if he needed to learn Martial arts... wouldn't All Might have taught him?

"And that is your issue..." Naruto interrupted his thought process, "Let me guess... you're thinking that All Might would have taught you how to fight or All Might doesn't really use Martial Arts himself... or something along those lines, aren't you?"

Izuku blushed and nodded, he really needed to learn how to hide his emotions and thoughts better.

"You know why you were able to beat, Katsuki?" Naruto asked making Izuku think back to his combat training match... in hindsight, he had no answer. "You outsmarted him... definitely did and that is something you have a skill for... but most of all, it was because he underestimated you. To him, the idea that you could even fight back... let alone beat him was simply not possible. The entire match he was going off against you due to whatever grudge you guys got against each other... which allowed you to outsmart and beat him... had this been a real fight, you would have lost."

Izuku nodded in agreement... it was something he knew, his victory against Katsuki was hollow. The smokescreen from his huge explosion allowed Izuku to get away and join Uraraka who was having trouble against the acid-user, Mina. They barely had enough time to form a plan before Bakugou arrived on the scene... in the end, Izuku was forced to destroy the floor and his arm to send the enemy team falling down while Uraraka's Quirk allowed them to stay afloat and retrieve the bomb. Technically, it was a victory, in a real-life situation, however, Uraraka would be left alone to fight while Izuku would be nearly incapacitated... all the while the enemy team was relatively fine.

"See... the reason why the Old Man does not need to learn Martial Arts is that he is overwhelmingly strong and fast... enough to completely overpower his enemies before they have a chance to retaliate... you do not have that much power." The blonde explained with his arms folded. "You are trying to emulate a 7-foot 250 Kilo man's fighting style... that ain't gonna work out for you."

"But... I have All Might's quirk now, I will one day gain the same power... wouldn't I?" Izuku asked unsure of himself.

"Possibly... possibly not," Naruto shrugged, "Tell me, why is that All Might becomes buff while you gain these red-veins and electricity around yourself when both of you are using the same Quirk?"

Izuku's eyes widened in realization, "But that would mean..."

"That your version of One for All is different than the Old Man's?" Naruto finished his thoughts for him, "I think so... listen, I've been in close proximity to All Might for three years and I've learned a few things. While I can't say I know everything, one thing I am almost certain of is that One for All isn't just a Quirk that gets passed from user to user... it's a Quirk that evolves with each user."

"That would explain the physical differences between me and All Might... but if that is the case then I might never gain the same abilities... if that happens..." Naruto's eyes twitched as Izuku took a thinking pose and started muttering endlessly, going over countless theories and scenarios.

"Would you stop that?" Naruto asked with a vein popping on his forehead making Izuku chuckled nervously, "Anyway, my theory is that One for All evolves and adapts to each user differently... I mean, I've seen a few of the Old Man's pictures from U.A. and he was always a muscle head... so it makes sense for him to be physically stronger compared to you... but it's all a theory so who knows?"

"So, what you are saying is that I won't be as strong as All Might?" Izuku asked

"Physically? Possibly not... I mean I don't recall you creating hurricanes or causing rain with your 100% punches yet. Alternatively, you could possibly be even stronger," Naruto replied, "Or maybe you would be more of a speed demon... or maybe you could end up as balanced between the two, I don't know... the point is that we can't say anything for certain so it is stupid for you to only focus on your fists and trying to brute over your opponents. Not to mention, in the end, whatever happens when you gain full control is far off... as you are now, the possibility of overpowering your opponents with only 5% is very slim so you better learn how to fight."

"I understand," Izuku nodded with his head down in deep concentration.

"Listen, you're not All Might," Naruto exclaimed making Izuku a little bit disappointed unintentionally, "So... stop trying to be. Figure out your own path instead of trying to walk in the Old Man's shoes,"

"Got it!" Izuku nodded enthusiastically, "How do you say we begin?"

"Ummm... so... what I wanted to say was..." Naruto muttered his arms crossed and his face scrunched up in a thoughtful frown, "I guess it'ss be easier to show you. Throw a punch..."

"Are you sure?" Izuku asked making the blonde nod.

"Remember..." Naruto interrupted as Izuku was pulling back his fist, "Use your quirk."

Izuku stared at Naruto for a moment before he nodded. His arms pulsed with power as he positioned his body remembering Naruto's words making the blonde smile. Reddish and pink veins burned over his arm as he channeled 5% of his power and threw a punch.

Two things happened in the next moment... one was that the ocean in front of them nearly split open due to the shockwave release from Izuku's punch. The second was Izuku doubling over in pain... tears in his eyes as he clutched his stomach in a coughing fit.

"You know why that hurt so much?" Naruto asked crouching over Izuku rubbing his back sympathetically.

"Because you punched me in the liver!" Izuku accused with tears flowing comically out of this eyes.

"No... it hurt so much because you weren't using your Quirk," Naruto replied wiping Izuku's unnatural amount of tears from his face... maybe he did have a Quirk after all? Tears for All? Naruto wondered.

"But I was!" Izuku protested pointing towards the dust that was yet to be settled due to the force of his punch.

"No... what you did was, use One for All in your arm, threw a punch and turned it off like it was a switch," Naruto explained, "One for All isn't just a punching Quirk, you know? It gives superhuman durability as well... where is yours?"

"I-ah-I..." Izuku's eyes just blanked out as he felt his mind being basically shut off.

"Do you ever Old Man just throwing a punch and just turn off his Quirk? It's not an on and off switch thing... this is the first thing we are gonna train for, learning how to use your Quirk constantly and throughout your whole body... but you need to get used to One for All and for that, you need to tune your body more."

"Got it!" Izuku nodded rebooting his brain to its full functionality. "I've been thinking of One for All as something special. Like a Super move, I use it and turn it off! I-I think I know what to do."

"Alright... follow me!" Naruto yelled raising his hand breaking into a jog with Izuku following close behind... both of them, however, did not notice All Might watching from a distance with a smile on his face.

Next Day
U.A.

Izuku groaned feeling the pain in his limbs... this was the ten months of 'hell' all over again. If Naruto hadn't told him that he was basically adopted by All Might, he would have no issue believing that they were actually father and son... they were both slave drivers. Izuku tried to ignore all the chatting noises going on around in the class as Naruto sat behind him whistling innocently... there was a buzz of excitement in the class and media presence outside the gates who just tried to interview them all.

All the chatter in the class came to a halt as Aizawa walked into the room with a stack of papers in his hand.

"Hope you're all rested from yesterday's battle trial," The tired-looking teacher greeted abruptly, instantly catching the class' attention. "I saw the video footage and your results... Bakugo, stop acting like a child. You're wasting your own talent."

"I know," The temperamental blonde grunted.

"And Midoriya..." Aizawa turned his eyes towards Izuku making him internally flinch, "Stop losing control and breaking your arm every time you get overwhelmed."

"Ah..." Izuku rubbed the back of his neck feeling everyone's eyes on him, "I actually did not lose c-control this time, sensei. Using w-what I can safely handle would n-not have worked for my plan."

"But you wanted to win so you decided to abandon all form of rational thought and decided to break your arm in order to win..." Aizawa stated bluntly making the entire class flinch as if someone had scratched their claws on the board, Izuku stared nervously into his teacher's eyes before the said teacher sighed, "You did your best under the condition, I suppose, but learning to control your Quirk should be your top priority in that case. An incapacitated hero is no good to anyone... if you break your own body each time you use your power... you'll be a hindrance."

"Yes sensei," Izuku nodded his mind already made up to learn how to control his power.

"Good," Aizawa nodded, "The rest of you... good work. Now, let's move on to the homeroom business. Sorry to spring this on you so suddenly, but… you need to pick a class president."

Aizawa completely filtered out the class chatter as they discussed... more like argued as to who should be the president... until Tenya Iida stepped in to take control of the situation. Seeing the situation resolving itself, Aizawa opted to lean back into his chair and focused on his thoughts.

'Uzumaki and Todoroki... both of them finished off their opponents with using only half of their power... It's not only their Quirks either... far from it. Their skills are exceptional as well... these two are a clear cut above the rest. Then there is Bakugou, an all use Quirk and pure combat ability which is hard to find even among the Pros... needs an attitude adjustment though,' Aizawa mused to himself going over his thoughts, 'Yaoyorozu... the single most versatile Quirk I have ever seen and an intellect that rivals that of the Principle... and finally, Midoriya... pure raw potential and power that might actually even rival All Might one day. It's not only these five either... this entire class has more raw talent and potential than any other I've ever seen in U.A. Almost feels like the work of fate at hand...'

By the time Lunch had arrived Izuku was starving... but even as starving as he was, he was not hungry enough to even consider eating the amount of Ramen Naruto was carrying on his plate.

"Are you sure that much amount of Ramen is healthy?" Izuku asked with a sweatdrop.

"Nonsense," Naruto denied immediately, "Ramen is the food of gods."

"Riiiight," Izuku replied noticing Iida and Uraraka sitting at a corner table.

"Wait..." Naruto called out, "Take this with you... I'll be with you shortly." The blonde didn't wait long enough for Izuku to respond and put his tray over Izuku making him wobbly trying to balance both trays. The holder of One for All watched Naruto made his way through the busy cafeteria towards two students who had their backs towards him. Izuku watched more for a second before he turned and walked over to Iida and Uraraka.

"Hitoshi!" Naruto called out making the purple-haired student turn towards him, "How ya been doing? These first few days have been so busy that I couldn't even come to see you."

"Naruto?" Shinso recognized the voice before settling with a small smile, "I've been... okay, I suppose."

"What kinda response is that?" Naruto huffed, "We are students of U.A. now, show a little more enthusiasm,"

"Yea," Shinso rubbed the back of his neck, "Sorry about that... I am living the dream." He finished dryly.

"Aren't you introduce us?" The girl standing behind him asked before she turned towards Naruto, "I am Kendo Itsuka."

"I am Uzumaki Naruto," The blonde grinned.

"She's our class' president," Shinso filled out.

"So... how do you guys know each other?" Kendo asked looking back and forth between the two.

"This guy saved me from a pinch a while back," Naruto replied with a grin... his arm wrapped around Shinso's shoulder, "See... he has this amazing Quirk and all."

'He's actually smiling!' Kendo thought in surprise as Shinso rubbed his neck with an embarrassed but genuine smile... she had never seen him like this... especially since the entire class 1-B was hesitant to even talk to him save for a few, including herself.

"Did you hear that?" Someone whispered from the table behind them.

"He said they were friends."

"Shhh... must be trying to make him feel good."

"He must have used his Quirk on the poor guy," Another voice whispered

"You getting ready for the sports festival?" Naruto asked ignoring the chatter, "I wanna fight you in there."

"Ah, somewhat... I am prepared," Shinso replied.

"Awesome! Don't you dare lose before we've had a chance to fight ok? I wanna beat you at your best... its a promise." Naruto declared confidently, "Anyway... I gotta go, I'll see you later, Nice to meet you, Kendo!"

"You too," Kendo smiled as she watched the blonde disappear among the crowd. She turned towards Shinso who had a strange thoughtful look on his face.

'No... that's not it,' Shinso thought, 'I never did tell you back then did I? but I already made a promise... Naruto... I...'

The Next Day:-

"… I didn't think it'd be this type of bus…" Iida muttered.

Compared to the common and traditional bus, which had chairs facing the front to save space, this one instead had chairs off to the side facing each other with a few more chairs at the back facing the front.

There was a lot of space, surprisingly. Class 1-A was on their way to their rescue training class which was to be taught by Aizawa, All Might and an unknown third teacher. The entire class had an air of excitement since rescue operations were one of the biggest things Heroes often did.

"Hey Midoriya," Asui called out, "Your Quirk reminds of All Might's."

"That s-s-so? Haha, I-I think m-mine is t-totally different," Midoriya stammered and laughed at the same time making Naruto facepalm from beside him.

"Strength enhancement Quirks are quite common though, Asui," Naruto interjected, earning a grateful look from his friend, "Besides, All Might doesn't break his limbs every time he throws a punch."

"Call me Tsuyu," The frog girl replied

"I am kinda jealous, mine is good but not a lot of flashy," Kirishima complained from his seat.

"My Quirk is both flashy and powerful," Aoyoma praised himself.

"Todoroki and Bakugou are plenty powerful and flashy," Kirishima pointed out, "Uzumaki too."

"Uzumaki will probably be more popular of the three," Tsuyu stated blandly, "Todoroki is too boring while Bakugou is always mad,"

"What did you say, you bitch?!" Bakugou shouted getting up from his seat.

"See?" Tsuyu chirped cheekily, unaffected by his insults.

Kaminari, who was sitting on the bench opposite Tsuyu's, chuckled. "We've only known each other for half a week, so it's amazing that everyone already knows Bakugo's personality is like crap steeped in sewage," he teased.

"What's with that vocabulary you bastard!? I'll throw you off the fucking bus!"

"Bakugou, cut out the cursing... it is unbecoming of U.A. students," Iida interjected uptightly.

"I am gonna pull that stick outta your ass and kill you with it, you four-eyed car engine!"

"What a vulgar conversation…" Yaoyorozu muttered from her seat.

"But I like stuff like this, too!" Uraraka claimed with her usual bubbly expression.

"Bakugou should really work on that attitude," Naruto pointed out.

"I don't wanna hear that from you! you carbon copy machine!" Bakugou snapped towards the blonde.

"What was that blasty asshole?!" Naruto snapped back.

Fortunately, Aizawa stepped in before things could get too out of hand. "We're here. Settle down," he announced from the front of the bus.

Meanwhile:-

While the students were reaching towards their destination... the one known as All Might or Yagi Toshinori to his close friends was walking through the hallways of the U.A. towards Recovery Girl's office. There were a lot of things on his mind... ranging from his adopted son to his successor... but all those things always came around to his injury... and how he did not have much time left.

All Might was important... not only to the society but to Toshinori himself. The thought of not All Might's time coming to an end was not a pleasant thought... even after all this time. At least he had found a worthy successor... but this time... the holder of One for All wouldn't be alone. Midoriya would not have to bear the weight of being a symbol alone... no, he had seen it, Naruto would be right beside him. They will become the symbol of peace together... he'd make sure of it.

"What's this about, Recovery girl?" Toshinori asked entering the office of the U.A. nurse, "I have a class to teach right now,"

"I am sorry but this could not wait," The 'Youthful' Heroine replied, "The matter is urgent,"

"What is it?" Toshinori asked seriously.

"Do you... remember what you brought me?" Recovery girl asked cryptically, "That day when you found the boy?"

"How could I ever forget?" Toshinori replied with sweat flowing from his brow, "I've seen a lot of things during my time but... what I saw that day would haunt me for the rest of my life."

"I know... but that is not what I called you here," Recovery girl replied, "Do you remember what I told you?"

"You mean...?!" Toshinori's eyes widened with his mouth hung open... adrenaline was pumping through his veins... this was a dream... it had to be.

"I-I think so," Recovery girl nodded, "I think I can heal your wound."

Chapter End.

So, here we I said, no huge visible changes. Most of them are in the background so they will have long ripple effects but not much visible from a reader's perspective. That and technical ones, you might not notice but compare this and the older version, this would be a lot smoother.

Anyway, make sure to leave a review and support me if you guys like this. Peace out, xD. Oh, before I go, BNHA Season 4 is finally beginning this week! Overhaul arc, how exciting!
