And we back guys, I know some of you were waiting for the next chapter and I'm here to deliver. I'm glad you guys liked the hero killer fight and the fact that he's helping one of the 1-B students. I'll be going in a little different direction these next few chapters as I don't want a re telling of the training camp arc. Just know that he'll be present for the battle against All for One.

Also something to note I'll be mentioning some marvel and dc characters but they won't make an appearance. They're just being named to prove a point.

Anyways that enough of an AN let's get on with the chapter.

The next morning the young Semi-pro was re applying the bandages over his wound he'd received from stain. Luckily everything was healing nicely, the stitches were in place and the wound hadn't bothered him. He made sure to tighten the bandages but not so tight that it'd be uncomfortable. As he finished tucking the last bit of gauze in he heard his phone vibrate on his table.

It was a message from Aizawa. He had an important meeting with the hero and Nezu at noon in the rodents office. He raised an eyebrow when he read that he was to bring his hero costume separately and to feel free to show up casually. He frowned wondering exactly what this meeting could be about. He quickly typed his response agreeing and put the phone down. He spent the next hour making himself a nice breakfast before packing his suit into a special suitcase Aizawa had sent to his home.

After changing into the new jeans and button up he'd bought on his trip with Mt. Lady yesterday he grabbed his things and headed out. It didn't take long to reach U.A, it annoyed him slightly how he still had to wait at the front to be allowed entrance but he understood. He hoped they'd provide him with a key card or something soon.

As he walked through the halls he noticed some of the students glancing his way. "They could at least be a little more subtle with the staring" He thought to himself as he stopped at the door to Nezu's office. He knocked three times before hearing the principals high pitched voice telling him to enter.

His eyebrows raised in surprise as he noticed Mirio sitting across from his 'master' and the principal.

"Yo" The blond man greeted with a smile on his face and stuck a fist out as Naruto got near.

"What's up." He replied and bumped fists before taking a seat next to him. "So what's going on?" He asked the two adults in the room.

"Do you remember when we had you and Midnight trail the Yakuza?" Aizawa asked him in his usual monotonous voice. The young man nodded, it hadn't been that long ago.

"Well, Aizawa relayed the info to me…" Began Nezu "and there just so happens to be someone who's actually looking into the activities of the Yakuza at the moment. Perhaps you've heard of him. Sir Nighteye."

Naruto had heard of him. He remembered Eraserhead telling him that Mirio was currently working under the man. That somewhat helped clear up why his friend was here but not completely. Almost as if reading his mind Nezu continued "The students from the Hero course are going to be going on a training trip into a U.A controlled part of the forest a few miles out for a couple of days."

At this points Aizawa took back over the conversation. "We got in contact with Nighteye and it was decided we'd relay the information to him and have him take over from where we left off. You'll be working with the Nighteye agency on this case until told otherwise. Togata will be formally introducing you to the man." He explained.

Ah so that's why he was here. "I've already told Sir about you." Mirio told him with a thumbs up. "He questioned why I was roughed up after our spar the other day, hearing about your strength he became curious but tried not to show it. After seeing what you did in Hosu he asked me to bring you."

Naruto turned back to the adults. "So he already knows about the shipment coming this sunday?" He asked. Two nods were his answer.

"He's most likely got a plan for it already." Aizawa told him before covering his mouth with his hand to yawn. "Class 1-A and B leave tomorrow so until the job is done Nighteye will temporarily be responsible for your actions as you'll be working under him."

Naruto took the information in and nodded. This would be interesting. However there was still something he needed to know. Turning to his friend he asked "So what's Nighteye like?"

"Hmm. He's a serious person but don't let his face fool you. The man loves to laugh, if you can make him do that you'll be in his good books for sure." Mirio explained.

"Alright when do we start?" Naruto asked the small mouse.

"You brought your costume correct?" Nezu asked, not answering his question.

"Yeah. Right here." He picked up the brief case and handed it over when Nezu held his hands out.

"Perfect. It's seen a bit of milage so our support course students are going to be fixing it while making some necessary modifications to the armor. It'll be sent out to the Nighteye agency within a day. And as for your question, you can leave immediately."

The student and apprentice stood up and began heading for the door before Naruto stopped. "Actually before that. Do you have a sheet of paper and a pen I can use real quick?" Nezu went to a nearby desk and rummaged through the drawers before handing the items to him. The two adults watched as he wrote a small paragraph and making some sort of list. "Aizawa can you have Vlad King hand this to Monoma for me?" He asked handing the now folded note to the man.

"Sure." The man muttered putting the letter in his pocket as they watched the two youngins head out. The tired looking man turned to the small rodent with a raised eyebrow. Silently asking if he knew what the note was about.

Nezu smiled. "It would seem he's taken young Monoma from 1-B under his wing."

The two young heroes headed out of the school grounds, talking as they did so. "I didn't get the chance to talk too much about it but I heard about the hero killer incident and saw some of it on tv, that was amazing." Mirio said with much enthusiasm. "Seriously though, that couldn't have been easy." He added afterward in a calmer tone.

"It wasn't." Naruto confirmed "The man was smart and planned his moves well. If it wasn't for me inadvertently using a new technique I'd have been killed." He admitted. Mirio's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this.

"Really? What new technique?"

"I'm not too sure exactly. I'd never used it before then, it kinda just happened at the moment. I saw the blade coming and used Time Skip but it was different." He explained.

"Different how?" He had experienced time skip and had a basic idea of how it worked. For it to be different to its own user was strange.

"I moved out of the way like I usually do but when I turned back my body was still laying in the same spot. It was that little moment of surprise that I was able to get the upper hand on Stain." Naruto explained with a frown, still not understanding how it had happened.

Mirio too stayed quiet for a minute before speaking again. "Your quirk got stronger."

"Stronger? How? Whenever I've been in a bind Pure Progress kicks in to help me even the odds." He thought to himself.

Seeing the look on his friends face Mirio continued his explanation. "Have you ever heard the saying 'power comes in response to a need, not a desire'?"

Naruto shook his head negative. "No but it's a good saying."

"You were put in a situation where your quirks abilities weren't enough to help you. In response to your need it most likely unlocked another technique." Mirio finished.

"It's definitely possible" Naruto commented rubbing his chin.

"I'm sure we'll figure out how it works soon enough. For now though let's hurry we don't wanna miss the train." His fellow blond said as he picked up the pace.

An hour later the two blonds were standing outside Sir Nighteye's agency building. "I don't know why but I was expecting something a little more…eye catching. You'd think pro heroes would at least add their name on the building or something." Naruto commented looking at the building.

"Right? But it's exciting isn't it?" Mirio asked as he threw his right arm cross his friends shoulder and extending his other towards the building. "You and I working for the same agency, it's gonna be great."

Naruto smiled, his fellow blonds sunny disposition was contagious apparently. "I hope so." He replied as he followed Mirio into the building. While the outside was plain looking the inside wasn't so bad. It was clean and even had a circular staircase that lead to the second floor near the end of the building. Circular staircases always made places look better in his opinion.

At the top of the staircase was a corridor that led to a door at the end. "This is Sir's office. Remember try and make him laugh." Mirio told him as he had a hand on the handle. Naruto nodded.

Upon entering the first thing the blond noticed was a rather skinny man in a white suit typing away on his computer. Hearing someone enter the man turned, his sharp eyes landing on the thinner of the two blonds.

"Sir, I've brought him." Mirio told his boss as he made himself comfortable. Naruto however stayed where he was as the pro hero evaluated him silently.

"So you're Eraserhead's apprentice." Sir Nighteye finally said.

"Yeah. Uzumaki Naruto a pleasure to meet you." He replied bowing, the green haired man bowed as well inwardly pleased that the young man had manners.

"Likewise. I've heard of you. I've followed your work since you went public. My interest only increased after Mirio came to work one day somewhat injured. How old are you if you don't mind me asking.

"I turned seventeen not too long ago." If Nighteye was impressed that he was this strong he didn't show it. He simply nodded before turning his attention back to his screen.

He typed something in the computer before picking up a phone and asking a secretary to do something for him. "Principal Nezu relayed the information you and Eraserdhead managed to get about the Yakuza. I've been doing my own research into their organization and it was decided it would be beneficial to both of us for you to be here.

For the next few weeks you'll be working under me alongside Mirio and another person that works here. You will of course be paid for your services. Our first move will be on Sunday when the shipment is meant to arrive. Until then you'll focus on recovering, meaning no activities too strenuous. I've been told you got injured in the fight against the hero killer." Nighteye explained.

Naruto nodded and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and pulled it aside slightly so the pro could see where it was. "Sounds like the best course of action." He agreed.

"In the meantime." Nighteye said as he started typing on the computer again. "have you seen anything out of the ordinary?" He asked trying to get more information on the Yakuza.

"I've seen a dolphin with a hat once." He replied. Everything stopped. Mirio blinked as he looked at him and Sir Nighteye stopped typing as he glanced at him without an expression on his face.

"Around here." He clarified.

"No they live in water." The young blond replied seriously. Nighteye turned fully and stared at him, blue eyes staring back at him.

Naruto watched as the mans mouth began to twitch and lift slightly before the pro turned back around. The man let out what seemed to be a mixture of a cough and laugh before grabbing some papers out of the printer and placing them on the desk. "Since you will officially be under my employ I need you to sign these."

"What's the extent of your injury, pain wise." Nighteye asked as the young hero was reading over the papers.

"Just minor pain if I move my arm around too much. Other than that I'm alright." He signed his name at the bottom of the pages and hands them back to the man.

"Are you well enough to do patrols?" Nighteye asked as he made sure everything was signed properly.

He nodded.

"Be here tomorrow first thing in the morning. 8am. Nezu told us about the Yakuza but you having been there closer will give me more insight. Mirio you're also free to go for today, there's not much needed doing." The older blond nodded and bowed to his boss before heading to the door. "See you tomorrow Sir."

Following the blonds example Naruto also bowed "Thank you for your time." and with that he was out the door. His fellow hero was waiting for him just outside the door and walked alongside him as they made their way out. "Well we have a bit of time before the sun goes down, let me show you around."

Naruto agreed and walked at a leisurely pace with his hands in his pockets as Mirio animatedly told him about all the buildings they passed. What was what, who worked where and so on and so on. About half an hour into their impromptu tour the younger blond noticed something.

"Mirio, mind if we stop at that Ramen shop? I'm kinda hungry it'll be my treat." Naruto offered. Luckily for him at that moment the older blonds stomach made itself known with a large growl. "I'll take that as a yes." He said laughing at the embarrassed look of his friend.

They were guided to a small table near the back of the shop facing one another. Naruto was on the side where he could see the TV showing the news on the other side of the room. A young waitress come by taking their order and as they waited for their food Naruto spoke. "So you're almost done with UA right?"

"Yup this is my last year. A couple more months and I graduate. Soon after I'll get my national hero license. Then I can really begin my goal of saving a million people in need. Though I'm not sure if I'll spend my first year as a side kick or not." He replied.

Naruto remembered when they sparred back at the gym in UA, his hero costume had '1000000' right on his chest. "Makes a lot more sense now" He thought. He blinked when he registered that Mirio had asked him a question. Luckily for him the blond saw he'd spaced out and asked again.

"You have an apprenticeship under Eraserhead. How long do you think it'll take before you go pro?"

He shrugged. "Honestly I'm not exactly sure but I know I'll be pro before I turn 18 next October. I can promise you that much." His friend nodded and followed up.

"And what's your goal?" The blond paused to organize his thoughts. As he opened his mouth the food arrived and was placed in front of them. Saying thank you for the food the two blonds began eating, though one still had a question to answer.

"My goal…is change." Seeing the expectant face of his friend he continued. "I don't like the current hero system. I dislike the fact that government officials tell us who can and can't be a hero. When we can and can't act." He started before slurping up some more noodles.

"In fact, the current system is the reason why the suicide rate among quirkless people rises every year." He added before taking his phone out of his pocket. The other blond watched as he scrolled with his finger, tapping the screen every few seconds before stopping. "You're familiar with the Hero Billboard Chart JP right?"

"Yeah it ranks pro heroes twice a year." Mirio answered before catching the phone that had been slid towards him on the table.

"What you're looking at right there is the American version. Something to take note of is the fact that among their top ten, three of them are quirkless." Naruto said shocking the man. "What's more all three are in the top five.

Anthony Stark, known to the world as Iron Man. Bruce Wayne known commonly as Batman. Both of them are geniuses who created their own suits to help fight crime. Steve Rogers, aka Captain America armed only with a shield is in the top ten above those with quirks." He paused to take in his friends reaction.

He seemed genuinely surprised and was most likely reading the bios of the heroes that's available next to their name. "What I want is a place where heroes can be just that. Heroes without some elected politician telling us otherwise. Who knows how many corrupt politicians there are hindering us. Who knows how many great heroes have died young because they were ostracized.

I'm going to start a hero agency after I go pro and become the strongest hero. I'll have the strongest people join my agency and be the change I want in the world." He finished taking a deep breath.

Looking up he saw the blond giving him a critical look before he closed his eyes and smiled. Mirio wasn't a fool, he knew and had seen how people had been treated. "No one has ever done anything about the system because that's how its always been. It won't be easy but I can see you have the drive to make it happen. Just know when I become the number one hero I'll have your back for sure." He extended a fist.

Likewise Naruto smirked and met his fist with his own and continued eating. As they enjoyed their meals the owner of the shop turned the tv up which caught his attention. "Woah look at that."

Mirio raised an eyebrow and turned to see what had his friends attention. They were covering some sort of raid that had taken place in another city over a day ago. "I heard about that. Mirko the current number 7 hero. She raided a crime family hideout by herself and managed to take everybody down even after being shot in the arm." He informed him.

The news station showed clips of her out on patrol in costume as well as her in action in a different place. They probably didn't have footage from the raid itself so they settled for a little informative video about her showing her abilities.

"Man oh man." Naruto murmured.

"Yeah I know." Mirio agreed. "The fact that she continued to fight even though an arm was pretty much useless is incredible." He said turning back to Naruto who was blinking at him in confusion.

"What?"

Now it was Mirio's turn to blink. "Isn't that what you were talking about?"

"No didn't you see the video they showed?" Seeing the man still confused he rubbed his face. "She had the most incredible thighs I've ever seen." He clarified causing the other blond to sweatdrop. "Almost being killed had gotten me thinking about something and I just got my answer."

"What were you thinking about?" Mirio was almost afraid to ask.

"If I had to choose how I'm getting taken out, it'd definitely be in between those thighs."

I'll go ahead and end it there. Guys, Mirko is my hero best girl 100%. Anyways kind of a slow chapter but next chapter will be their first encounter with the Yakuza as they head to the drop off. If you guys have any suggestions or ideas feel free to PM me or leave them in a review. Stay safe. Later.
