Chapter 2: Conflicting Sides

Hello! And I am back with a new presentation of the new story, as requested by RegalQ3! This has
been soooo cool! Though, you may see OutOfCharacter’ness [OOC] in this, but I try my best. Read and
Review [R&R] this and tell me what you think. Especially about Naruto’s Quirk. I made it an
unexpected and different one from the original anime. I think that it’s fine.

Line

A boy with green locks of hair steps out of the bus and lands his shoes onto the cement and looks at the
gate near the group. A young boy with dark green hair stands in front of the bus and walks with the rest
of the group. In his mind, his thoughts rocket about how to take on even one of the robots.

His face is filled with determination as he clenches his fist. ‘I have to use my power here! I have to at
least make it in the top ten! For All Might!’ His thoughts shout at him, with the motivation he has.
Frankly, All Might is the only motivation he has now.

Then, Naruto comes behind him, being braggingly laidback as usual. His grin is plastered upon his face
and his arms shoved into his pockets as he looks on and at the big gate.

“Keh! Just a big gate.” He spits at the gate with his carefree brags. On the bus ride to the venue, he
thought up of some plans on how his celebration will go now that Sasuke was nowhere in sight. his eyes
drift off to the green-haired guy in front of him. He sees that his fists are clenched and he reads that as
‘I’ve got this!’

‘I have to do my best!’ The green-haired boy looks onto the gate with the determination. Then, his eyes
drift off to a girl with brown bobbing hair, and she looks at the gate too, focusing her attention on how
she will pass the exam.

‘Wow… She’s pretty… No! Keep your head in the game, Izuku!’ He curses at himself, keeping his
emotions on check. He can’t afford to act rampant on them now. Then, he feels a hand slapping his
shoulder. He looks over to it and sees an orange-haired guy, smiling at him.

“Hey there! I’m Naruto Uzumaki! What’s your name?” He says to the smaller man. The suddenness
makes him jump a bit. The young man fidgets a bit and prods his fingers together.

“M-Midoriya Izuku. An-d you are?” Deku asks him and his shoulders widen and he aims his thumb at
himself for an introduction.

“I’m Naruto Uzumaki! Nice to meet ya, Midoriya-san!” He booms at himself, startling the lad but makes
friends with. Midoriya was always a bit of a submissive one. He lets out a small chuckle to keep his
spirits up. Naruto retracts his arm and he shoves them into his white jacket’s pockets.
“This whole thing just seems plenty easy with a Quirk, huh?” Naruto elbows Izuku, mentioning the
exam. Izuku looks at him and thinks, ‘What? Easy? … Maybe he hasn’t been listening to the presentation
earlier.’

“You seem very relaxed about this, Uzumaki-san.”

“Yeah! I’m very confident in my ability, and in my Quirk.”

“What is your Quirk, Uzumaki-san?” Izuku simply asks, making Naruto’s brows rise and his hands scratch
the back of his head.

“My Quirk? Uummmm… I guess you could say I turn into a fox?” The answer makes Izuku’s eyes gleam
at Naruto, who raises his brows at him.

“You have a FireFox Quirk! You’re Quirk isn’t seen in most areas in Japan, but when they are, it’s
because they’re from other countries, like China! Their most prevalent heroine, Foxy, has the same
Quirk that you have! And she came here and became the #36 Top Hero last year!”

The fun facts went on from Midoriya, making Naruto’s eyes drift off to other things he can hear. Not
ignoring him though. He listened to his snippets of his Quirk.

“Other people are trying to focus, you know.” A shout interrupts Izuku’s talking, making them glance
around for the speaker. Their eyes then land on a taller figure. “What are you two doing?”

“Obviously, we are here to pass the entrance exam.” Naruto retorts at the taller boy with four-eyes.

“Are you two trying to interfere with the other people on the exam?”

“N-No! O-of course not. W-we were just…” Izuku shakily defends himself and Naruto, and the youngster
in glasses places his hands on his hips.

As their “fighting” ensues, Naruto’s attention drifts over to the crowd, scoffing toward them. He follows
their lines of sight, seeing them land on Izuku. He reads their eyes, and only interprets them all as “The
less competition, the better.”

Suddenly, an airhorn blares from above. All eyes roll up to the blonde hitching a leg and pointing
upward. “Hey! Hey! Hey! It’s time for you all to start getting them points! Go! Go! Go!” Present Mic’s
voice booms down at them, while Izuku listened to him.

Naruto sees all the extras running through the gate. “Oy! C’mon, Izuku!” He shouts as he runs ahead,
leaving him behind. His skin trickles, blending into an orange shade. His feet and hands turn into those
of a beast, nails turning to claws. Naruto grunts, with each grunt turning into a growl. His snout sneers
as he runs through the gate and past the crowd.

Midoriya gains consciousness and sees everyone ahead of him. “… Eh! EH! I’m behind again!”

Line
In the midst of a smoking street, Katsuki Bakugou stands above the carnage of metal and steel. His bare
hands steaming as he pants hard. His face spreads a wide grin on his face, feeling the satisfaction. As if
feeling good from a kill. “Hehe… He hehe.”

Then, he hears a snarling growl behind him. He turns around and sees an orange beast in the distance,
making carnage of its own. Its nine tails flail around as dark flames stream out from the bellows of its
throat, landing on the robots and burning them. The fires melt them down to scrap and to the ground.
Its glaring eyes stare down at the fidgeting robots to slash them.

Bakugo, having his fiery pride hurt from the sight, takes his eyes off of it and moves onto the next sit for
his venting. Having seen that, he scoffs sorely as he trudges off to the street and through the alleys.

‘This is so easy!’ Naruto thinks as he grabs a P3 Robot’s head and bashes it down to the cement until it’s
dead. Naruto, in his Firefox form, spreads a grinning snarl at how much points he’s got. Currently, he’s
racking a desirable 49 points. With a new P1 Robot he’s just stomped, he adds a point to his score. He
lets out a small chuckle from his score.

Line

“I’ve still got no points! Crap! I’ve gotta hurry!” He mumbles as he scurries around and through the
streets, only finding already destroyed robots and/or other people beating down on robots. ‘Crap! I
need points! Fast! I barely have time left!’ Izuku runs around, skidding along the street.

Then, a P3 Robot stomps in front of him. Izuku is startled by its sudden comeuppance, and he falls back
on his back in fear of the robot. It whirrs as it turns to him. Izuku whimpers away from it but it inches its
way closer to him. His mind set on running away. But why? He has power now. Why can’t he move? His
conscious self is screaming at him to move.

Then, a beam of light penetrates and breaks the robot to pieces. “… Eh?” Izuku lets out, looking at the
beam and tracing it back to the source. A blond prince posing at him with grace.

“Oh. Merci for being a decoy. You and I make a great team. To that, I bid you,” He turns to a side step
before saying, “Adieu!” as he runs off to the next one. Deku looks frantically, seeing robots being
defeated left and right, and they were running out quick.

‘Crap! Where am I going to find another robot?’ His thoughts rocket out of his brain. His heart bumps
out of his tired chest, the adrenaline pumping him up, but in a false hope. With no robots to smash in
sight, it seems like he has no future now.

Then, a booming sound comes from behind him, and it makes the ground shake and the troubling teen
with no points fall to his knees. He lifts himself from the ground and looks behind him to see a very large
behemoth of a robot. It was the faux villain!
He sits there, looking hopeless and in fear as everyone else ran away from it. “Hey everyone! The exam
ends in two minutes, so hurry up!” Present Mic shouts down upon them all, placing Izuku in even more
of a panic.

‘Two minutes?!! Now, I really need points!’

Line

Naruto’s Firefox form continues to stomp along the street, leaving burn marks as he treads. The fires on
his back trickle and dance furiously as Naruto snarls his way to the next. Then, he feels the ground
rumbling and trembling under him.

He growls as he looks around to where it could come from. Not finding the source, he jumps up to a
building and climbs up.

He jumps onto the roof and sees a giant robot in the middle of the city, destroying buildings as he
stomps around. Seeing how that would be his cue, he runs to the end of a building and jumps towards it.

Line

A whimper of pain comes from behind him, causing Izuku to stop crawling away from the threat and
look behind him. His head shakily looks at the nice girl he’s met today. She had auburn hair and a gentle
face. She was also stuck. She tries to move her ankle away from it, but could not. Her fearful face urges
Izuku, no, shrieks at his moral code to help her.

With a simple turning heel, he sprints at the robot and saves her.

Line

Naruto’s Firefox form jumps and skids onto the roof a building, landing beside the behemoth P0 Robot.
He looks up at it and snarls at it, fire escaping between the teeth. Then, his thunder is interrupted by a
jetting man, with his fist aimed at the robot.

Naruto grunts and watches the boy, and eventually, sees it as Izuku.

‘Curl up your buttocks! And yell this inside your heart.’

“SMAAAAAAAASSH…!” Izuku screams inside his heart, with his new power to its fullest. The robot’s head
crumbles, pushed back to the ground behind it, with the booming sound reaching to the edges of the
city.

Naruto stands agape at him, amazed and astonished at the boy, as are the other examinees below him.

The crumbling thunders from the robot as it falls, and Izuku just stares at the destroyed robot’s head as
it falls. Then, Izuku realized something as he moves his body.
“… eh? Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap!” His legs were broken. Not only that, but his punching arm too, and all
three all them are flailing in the air. He was also falling to the ground.

‘Crap! I’m such an idiot! A mere ten months wasn’t enough!’

He curses at himself for taking that massive leap. Never mind that now! He had to figure out a way to
land safely. His eyes flash to his remaining arm and looks down at the ground, aiming at it. He retracts
his left for a punch as he screams.

The ground was getting closer and closer.

“AHHHHHhHHH-” Izuku’s scream was interrupted by an abrupt carry. The rescuer’s fiery arms were like
a beast’s. When Izuku looks up at its face, he only sees a fox. Looking ahead to the ground as they land
onto the building across.

His molten hind feet skid onto the cement, grunting at the slight pain on its stoles. Izuku now looks at
the snarling fiery fox above him.

‘…’

Izuku is speechless that someone would save him. Why would someone save him? He’s just a nobody
that only lives with his mom. A good-for-nothing. A pebble on the side of the road. Why would someone
this amazing risk his life for Midoriya Izuku.

Apropos to that, the fox stretches his arms and places Izuku onto the floor. He lets out a sigh and starts
becoming conscious of his surroundings. He crawls over to the edge of the building and looks for the
nice girl that was stuck.

He sees her floating up to him on a destroyed robot. “Hey! You okay?” Uraraka shouts up to him,
furrowing her brows with worry for him. Izuku gives out a sigh of relief for her safety.

‘Thank God, she’s safe. … Wait a minute! I still have zero points!’

“TIME’S UP!” Present Mic shouts from above, as Naruto kneels down to shift back to his human form.
His skin once again trickles, the orange turning back to peach, resembling Naruto’s skin. His tails retract
back to his spine and his hair diminishes.

The growling sounds turn to grunts as Izuku watches from behind him, familiarizing himself from his
savior. Now, he was certain, that it was his new friend. That does not stop him from being discouraged
to the floor. Then, an old stumpy woman walks up to Naruto randomly.

“Good work, kid. Have a gummy.” She sweetly says in an elder voice, handing out a gummy from her
pocket. Naruto grins at her before taking the gummy.

“… wait, ma’am he’s-”

“Yes, I know.” She says as she canes toward Izuku, who just looks up at her. With a smirking look, she
puckers up and her lips stretch out, landing on Izuku’s head.

“KISS!”

The sight makes Naruto speechless and disgusted. At this point, he’s afraid to even speak.

Then, Izuku’s body sparkles and reforms back its injuries. His ligaments and extents roll back into place,
bruises becoming gone. Izuku moves his fingers and legs to see if he can stand, and he does and
stumbles.

“wh-whoaa. Re-r-Recovery Girl!” Izuku pats on himself as he exclaims at the sight of a Golden Age hero.

“Yep. And I have to say… Good work. Have another gummie.” Recovery girl’s old voice sweetly hands
over another gummie to Naruto. He nods down at her. After that, she walks out of the roof to
congratulate the rest of the examinees.

Naruto glances back at Izuku, stumbling to get up.

“I-You-… Your Quirk’s so… cool.” Izuku praises in a depressing voice, only getting more depressed as his
back slumps. Naruto looks down at his face to see the tired teen almost breaking down to tears.

“I… I’ve still gotten no points.”

Naruto hears him, shocked at what his number was. A whopping zero points?!! With a Quirk like his, it
should’ve been an easy win.

He walks over to him and pats him on the back. Deku unnoticing the sympathetic pats to his back, he
looks down to the devastation below as his heart crunches inside him because of his failures of
incompetence.

‘I knew that this would happen.’

Line

A bald giant pants uncontrollably from letting out so many Outbursts from his fists. They’re practically
bleeding out, with so much red, it starts to drip down to the floor. His broad shoulders jerk as he tries to
compose himself.

Behind him, a robot melts from gray acid. It bubbles and drips down to the cement, molding the metal
to juices. A pink horned girl whips off the remaining acid from her palms with a grin on her face.

“These robots are easy! Say, you and I make a great team, big guy.” Mina Ashido prides herself walking
away from the melting robots. The boy glances slightly at Mina, only scoffing his sights away before he
stomps off.

Mina pouts at the arrogance that he didn’t even reply to her remarks. “Hmpph~. Jerk.”
Meanwhile, as the stoic giant walks in the street and in between scattered robot parts, he thinks of the
future. What happens now. With his mother having three months left. His mind was leaving blank
messages as he walks toward the exit. The trail of destroyed robot parts was lessening has he set his
sights on the giant exit doors.

Each stomp made his mind spit out what he should do with his mom. With each passing moment, his
heart drenches itself in sorrow, not knowing what to do. His blank face devoid of hope for his mother’s
life. What else was he supposed to think of? How to surprise her with a big party because she’s going to
be gone from his life? He’s been the only man to take care of her since his dad left. Damn bastard.

He sighs out shakily on the verge of tears. Then, his foot then bumps onto a head of another kid. He
looks down to him, seeing that he had a silly face like a dunce. The blonde boy looks up at him, smiling
with drool with inaudible mumbles and hue hue’s.

The bald giant raises his brows down at the chuckling dunce, and decides to lift off the dismantled robot
arm off him.

He lets him down by the collar. The blonde dunce sees him chuckle with his thumbs up, merrily walking
off to God knows where. Ignoring what just happened, he huffs off to the exit doors, with his hands
shoved to his pockets.

‘It’s fine, Taitanikku. Try your best to keep her spirits up. Be the best son you can be.’ His thoughts made
him slink down a tear from his eye, accepting that her time’s come.
