Ninja's hero

Naruto stared in horror at the two bodies before him. One belonging to his brother, his first brother, the man that had given him the ability build up a family. It laid still, never to move again. His fists balled up to the point his fingernails were almost piercing his skin. Tears pricked his eyes before he wiped his face with his sleeve. Next to him was an unconscious Obito, who had broken free of his hatred and anger, about to save Izuku when madara had stolen the chakra to revive himself to full life, free of the reanimation. He was fortunate enough to wake up, albeit significantly weaker than before but alive nonetheless.

Unlike Izuku Uzumaki, who laid staring at the sky, his eyes bleeding crimson.

Oddly, it was Minato who reacted first, his roar piercing the heavens. "MAADAAARAAAA!" The Fourth Hokage disappeared, with Kakashi, Itachi and Shisui quickly following him. Sakura wiped her eyes, falling to her knees next to his body. Tsunade just looked down at his face, crouching to close his eyelids,

"Ungrateful brat," She tried joking as tears rolled down her face, "I come all this way to try help you and you still don't listen to me," 

"No," Sakura mumbled under her breath, "No, not happening, not today," Her head lifted up, "Sasuke, Chidori now!" The ravenette made the wise choice to listen to the woman, lightning burning around his hand, she guided his hand over to Izuku's chest. Sasuke almost tripped as she dragged his hand down onto Izuku's ribcage. "Naruto, you get that motherfucker and you make him hurt,"

"Already on it," He moved through space to his dad, who was getting back up from being sent flying by a kick. Madara laughed,

"Oh? Did I inspire some hatred there?" He sneered "If you let me continue with,"

"Like, fucking, hell," Naruto spat through gritted teeth as he held his father back. "Make no mistake Uchiha, I wish nothing more than to tear you muscle from muscle, nerve by fucking nerve, in Izuku's words 'Nothing would give me more pleasure than beating you to death with a goddamn spoon' but I'm not going to," His knuckles were turning white, "Because if it's one thing Izuku taught me, it's that allowing hatred to consume only continues the cycle, as much as you might want to, the moment you have the choice you can break the cycle, that doesn't mean I'm letting you do your thing though, no, not quite," A grim smile, "You see this is how it's going to play out," Madara raised an eyebrow in lathargic curiousity, "I'm going to take the Ten Tails out of you," He began stepping forwards, "I'm going to return that stolen chakra back to the people you took it from," his hand rose with an indignant finger "I am going to kick your ass to the moon and back and then AAAND THEN!" Madara rolled his eyes, "I'm going to bring my brother back,"

"Riveting, tr-," He was interrupted as Naruto dug a fist clean into his face, the newest Jinchuuriki rolled backwards after crashing to the ground. Naruto studied his appearance. he had white hair and pale skin, like Obito did. He was encased in a stabilized chakra cloak as a flowing white robe, over a black body suit if his hands and legs were anything to go off of. Nine black magatama formed a three by three square with a large Rinnegan pattern above them. His left temple had a horn the overlapped his forehead, similar to that of a hitai-ate. The body crashed into the God Tree, Obito had unleashed during their fight earlier, Naruto wasn't sure how he'd missed its construction during the fight but he put it down to being to focused on beating the man fast enough to save Izuku.

"Good hit," Sasuke was next to him, "Sakura kicked me out, cut open his chest and began forcing his heart to beat manually," That, that seemed counter productive, "Look I don't fucking know, she just told me to help you kill this bastard," A sword was drawn "What's our plan?"

"Win,"

"Good for me,"

"What of a plan B?" Minato steps forward only to get pushed back by both boys.

"No plan B," They disappeared forward. Naruto was in front of the Jinchuuriki with a Rasengan in hand, Sasuke was the other side, midair with his sword ready to strike. Madara ducked anc kidked off backwards. He didn't though, taking the lightning from Sasuke's blade and throwing the jutsu forwards. Sasuke kicked off his shoulders gaining more height. The torso of his Susano'o formed to fire an arrow of Amaterasu flames. As Madara moved to the side, Naruto intercepted with a hard strike, spinning on his heel to let Sasuke pass with a downwards strike. Madara frowned and spun the shakujo in his hands. The blade was deflected as Naruto moved in to stab with a kunai, the attack was dodged and his arm knocked upwards. He didn't flinch, moving with his arm up and around an attack. Madara danced around their attack repeatedly, never landing his own hit however as any they couldn't dodge was blocked by the other. Naruto leapt with a double kick before a Susano'o hand pushed him further upwards, Sasuke still tried to attack Madara. The blond spun around the stab of the shakujo, pushing against it with a chakra charged kunai. As he landed a kick to Madara's face the boys stood side to side, neither allowing fear to hold them back. 

"No plan B?"

"No turning back, no other path," He grinned, "Combo number two,"

"Basics eh? I can work with that," Both switched into their ANBU gear, "On your lead Fox," This, this felt natural, both boys stooped over and began attacking again, this time with more fury and speed. Weilding a kunai in his off hand Naruto kept his tanto in a reverse grip. He slid under a strike as Sasuke hopped over it, he crossed his arms and boosted the ravenette up and over the Jinchuuriki.

"Chidori!"/ "Rasengan!" They caught him between their two jutsus. The lightning arced around his sides and anchored to the blue orb as both boy leapt away. Madara was consumed in a massive explosion before both boys moved back again.

"Enough," Sasuke's sword was taken and put through his own chest. Naruto could tell by looking it hadn't punctured anything but it was definitely dangerous as the other hands gripped his throat. "You need a time out," Sasuke was dropped on the floor as Madara's hand moved to Naruto's gut, his fingers disappearing into the sealing. Naruto roared in pain while Madara smiled, "Now cease annoying me," Both boys fell into darkness.

"Guh?!" He sat up, a thin film of water rippled around his body. It was like the mindscape where he saw with Kurama, except the great lumoxing fox was nowhere to be seen. 

"Uzumaki Naruto," Turning around he saw a man sat on thin air with his legs crossed. The black sphere Obito and Madara had formed a ring underneath him. A shakujo floated nearby. "You are late,"

"I am needed elsewhere Hagoromo,"

"You know my name?"

"Of course I do, the Sage of Six Paths, my brother made sure I knew about you, you're technically the father of the Tailed Beasts and my best buddy Kurama,"

"Your brother? Are you referring the the green haired boy?"

"Izuku Uzumaki, by will not blood," Naruto nodded slowly as he stood up, "Now I must go back and help my friends,"

"I will not be keeping you long, I am merely here to explain things to you, and that Uchiha Sasuke,"

"Uzumaki Sasuke, he's my brother now too," The large head of the shakujo hit the floor, causing the water to ripple with a loud high pitch chime from the hoops around the end. Naruto looked down at his feet to see a reflection of Sasuke staring up at him, both waved a hand numbly, "I am conversing with you both right now, do not worry, neither of you are dead, merely in the deepest levels of consciousness, where I could reach you safely," Naruto sighed and sat down, crossing his legs.

"With all due respect Great Sage, please do so quickly, I want to help my friends,"

"Your friends will be alright for now, they are fighting quite well," He sighed "Regardless, I am an an anachorism, I have travelled through time before now, doing as my sole purpose anymore," The water showed a line of Deity Gates, "Trying to reunite the reincarnates of my sons,"

"Uh-huh,"

"You aren't surprised?"

"More like indifferent," The Sage seemed surprised "Look, I get reincarnation and I get wanting to fix a mess you've made, which brother am I?"

"You are Ashura's reincarnat, the one who accepts the help of others and believed love to be a uniting solution for problems,"

"That makes Sasuke Indra's reincarnate," Hagoromo nodded.

"He always did everything on his own, leaning on solely his own strength," The water rippled again "There is a great threat this time, one of Indra's reincarnats, Madara, is alive again, not only upsetting the balance of chakra and time but of life itself, you see, Madara and Sasuke are reincarnats of the same soul, if they continued to occupy the same time, they will eventually occupy the same space too, fusing into one being, at that point the stronger willed incarnate will take over the body,"

"So if we don't finish the fight sooner, live Madara, no Sasuke? That's, that's exceedingly bad," He remarked, 

"However there is also something much worse brewing on the horizon, if Madara is not stopped soon, the chakra of the Ten Tails will overtake him and my mother, Kaguya Otutsuki will be reborn," Naruto rubbed his chin, "She is the Mother of all Chakra, her revival will lead to the dooming of your planet,"

"Well, what do we do then?"

Meanwhile the rest of the group were trying to hold of a vastly overpowering Madara Uchiha. It wasn't going well. None of them could land a blow, not even coming close. Guy and Lee  were up to the sixth inner gate and they were still not quite enough. "Gate of Wonder Open!" Guy's aura exploded further, as he became even stronger. "NO! Izuku!" Sakura appeared by the small squad with Tsunade in tow. "His body! It's just, it's just,"

"He's body disappeared, we don't know where, when or how but," She looked down, "Now we can't even give him a decent burial," Madara began laughing 

"You think you will survive long enough to do that?" Lee joined Guy at the Seventh gate, both of them had compound fractures, their muscle fibres were going to be snapping with any move they made as the sweat on their bodies immediately evaporated, shifting their green aura blue. Niether gelt a hand on their back but they could see Tsunade out of the corners of their vision.

"I reset your fractures and muscle damage, it's not much but it'll keep you alive," Both nodded, their pupils invisible. They shared a look and charged forwards, tearing the ground up behind them. A small sonic boom as they closed the distance.

"Double Daytime Tiger!" Two white tigers appeared from both men's bodies, roaring and going to strike Madara. Unable to avoid both massive changes of pressure he was carried back, far back by the blows. Earth ground up as he was carved deeper into it before eventually coming to a stop. Everyone shared a look of shock as he laughed again, getting to his feet. 

"Is that really all you have?" Both of their Gate auras dropped,

"Lee, leave this one to me," The group landed around them, probably ready to plan, "It is the end of Konoha's blue beast, it is time for the red beast to emerge,"

"Guy, no! You can't," Kakashi began, reaching out to him,

"Guy, think about this," Minato reasoned, "We don't,"

"it is fine, this will weaken him for long enough, for you to win,"  Guy began running forwards, despite the yells of arguements, "Eighth Gate of Death, open!" A red aura erupted around him, at least it appeared to be an aura, in was actually Guy's blood evaporating directly from his blood stream as his heart pumped at the maximum speed. The boys had earlier proved Taijutsu was highly effective against the Jinchuuriki, so this was only the next logical step. He was Guy Might, one of the best Taijutsu masters in the world over, Uzumaki Izuku had been one of his students, right next to Lee. The greenette had constantly declared him the strongest everytime they fought, to be called as such was Guy's dream. The best part was that when Izuku said it, he knew it was true, for the boy had travelled the land, fought everyone and learned from them after, if there had been anyone stronger that Guy, he would've told the shinobi where his next opponent stood. Now that student was dead, and the man responsible laughing in front of him. Guy grit his teeth, letting out the steam from his lungs. "Evening Elephant!" He puched the air, sending a compressed tube straight into Madara, the laughing man was quickly silenced as he was trapped in the pipe of pure wind. Guy kicked off the air and moved positions, "Second step!" Another cylinder of compressed air, "Third step!" Once again seeming to move off the air itself he leapt away to make a third pipe, "Fourth step!" Madara was bombarded from four side now as Guy moved above him "Fifth step!" The compressed air struck the already damaged Madara, forcing him straight into the ground with a massive explosion of dust and smoke. Massive chunks of earth were sent flying. Guy landed near to one, using it to support himself as he panted tiredly. 

"Can you still dance? I want you to play with me more!" Madara laughed. "It's not often one gets to fight a user of the Eight Inner Gates,"

"It, wasn't enough?" There was one last moved Guy had, one that nobody would have ever seen. It would have to be enough, it would be his,

"You do not have my permission to die," A voice spoke calmly as a hand touched his back, it didn't cause any pain however as Guy tried looking over his shoulder, "I have just healed your damage and given you some Nature Energy, it's slowly turning you to stone, starting with your bones," He understood, "I can only give you sixty seconds, use it wisely," His teeth were grit as he planted one foot forwards and dug his hands into the dirt. 

"Charge!" The aura around him exploded in size, launching more debris, it began forming the shape of a beastial dragon.

"I, Madara, declare you the-,"

"As if I can about the ravings of a lunatic! My student was a hundred times the man you could ever be!" Guy interrupted, the dragon around him roaring, "Flow!" He charged forwards, at inhumane speeds. It was a sight to behold as he closed in on Madara with no effort. No-one realized it as he leapt to strike, but Guy had moved so fast the space around him had become distorted, preventing Madara from avoiding the blow. "NIGHT GUY!!" The dragon's maw engulfed Madara as Guy's foot colldied with his ribs. Madara's bones broke.

Guy's did not.

The red dragon get racing forwards, at this point the ground was more damaged than not, the dragon just increasing the difference as it broke up rubble and earth alike. Eventually it collided with the God Tree, leaving a monumental scar on the earth. At one end lay Guy's body, smoking softly yet his chest rising and falling, declaring him still alive. Madara was the other end, his body half destroyed as he looked on. "You bastard, you almost killed me," His body began to regrow, "Your flame is about to better out, but I think to show my gratitude for such a great time, I'll finish you off before you turn to ash on your own!" A single black ball was launched at the body, ready to strike, until.

Ting

Boom

It landed next to Madara as a familiar body stood to protect Guy.

Naruto crouched next to Guy, a hand on his smouldering chest. "Busher brow sensei," Markings appeared on Guy's chest as he used his newest ability to attempt to undo the effects done by the Eighth Gate. He didn't know what he'd missed talking to Hagoromo, but Izuku's body had disappeared, Sakura had tried keeping the heart beating before it straight up vanished. Sasuke had been healed bu Tsunade and woken up the same time he did. He'd gone to find Lord Second and First who had yet to rejoin them, so were probably stuck somewhere, Naruto saw in the distance a massive Rasen-shuriken beind made by a Shadow Clone, the blue core quickly became molten as it worked with Roshi to create a Sage Art strong enough to cut down the tree. It had been Kurama's idea, the blond would admit, he didn't have the situational awareness to think of the plan. A white blob formed from the cracked earth.

"Sorry I'm late Lord Madara," A Zetsu mumbled,

"Do you have it?" In response the humanoid lifted a hand, the arm was sliced off and caught. Madara used the hand to implant whatever was in the hand int his right eye. Naruto suppressed his growl as he realized it was the other Rinnegan. Judging from the closed left eye he didn't have an eye there. Naruto charged forwards, "Shit," A Madara tried to use an orb to make a weapon or defence, he was there punching him in the chest. The God Tree shook as the larger crater from Night Guy gained a smaller one in the centre from Naruto. Madara leapt away, the blond jumped after him. The tree began to glow beside them, as Naruto sensed something going for his side. Instinctively dodging he saw the shock on Madara's face before summoning a Shadow Clone and pushing off it. The clone dispelled as the Lava Rasen-Shuriken cleaved through the trunk of the tree, catching Madara in its whirling blades. He landed on the floor next to guy, lifting the body onto his back. Closing his eyes he felt the signatures of the group and leapt towards them. 

"You severed the tree," He landed next to the others.

"Guy sensei!" Rock Lee ran over,

"He'll live, is everyone else alright?"

"Yeah, we," Ino frowned "We can't find Izuku, we can't even sense his body,"

"You won't, his primal chakra will blend to well with the Nature Energy now he's not regulating it," Obito was being supported by Kakashi, "I am sorry Naruto,"

"It," He looked at the weak man, who was barely able to look at anyone, "It is alright, you did not mean to revive Madara, he simply stole the chakra you were planning to use," Sasuke landed next to him, "The God Tree is falling,"

"The God Tree is disappearing," Shisui calmly pointed out, they watched it disappear into the smoke left from the Rasen-Shuriken.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me!" Itachi groaned in a very non-Itachi manner. They saw Madara make a break for them when.

"Kamui!" Kakashi sent Obito into the Time-space jutsu before Madara could take the Rinnegan from the weakened man.

"Hm? Attempting to keep my own eye away from me?" The target changed and everyone began guarding Kakashi.

"One of you has to go to Kamui and destroy that Rinnegan!" Kakashi yelled,

"And then let him butcher everyone else? Not happening!" Naruto argued as the group were suddenly knocked back by invisible forces. "Shit, Sasuke?!"

"It's a sort of shadow, like another Madara we can't see or effect without Sage chakra," Naruto closed his eyes and drew his weapons, "I can see them and I'm willing to bet,"

"I can sense them,"

"Maybe I'll just take your Rinnegan instead Sasuke," Madara mused "It would be a perfect fit!" His outstretched hand was knocked away by a jump kick from Shisui.

"Not happening lunatic," He barked, his tanto flashing to strike Madara. The Jinchuuriki retreated a further distance as everyone stood between him and Sasuke and Kakashi.

"You do not get near my family, ever again you bastard," Naruto growled, The man just sneered and held up a hand. A black orb pulled in the light around it before he rose into the sky.

"Then perhaps a brief distraction," The black orb spat out smaller black chunks, "Catastrophic, Planetary Devastaion!" Meteorites began forming around the orbs high in the sky, ready to plummet into the battle field. Naruto held up a hand, a Tailed Beast Bomb formed in the centre of a Wind Shuriken, than a second, and a third, until Naruto helpd up twelve Tailed Beast Shurikens in his hand. 

"Jinchuuriki squad, a Beast Bomb each if you can, Susano'os on the rest, Sakura, Tsunade, Ino, hit and run tactics, do not let him near anyone, Katsuki you take out the rest of the meteors, mobilize," Everyone leapt away, they couldn't let the small moons land, otherwise it'd mean certain death for the world. "Kakashi, stick with a Susano'o," Naruto leapt up as he threw the jutsus, watching them collide and destroy several of the deadly chunks.

"Dammit!" He looked back to see Itachi's Susano'o destroyed by Madara as the insane Jinchuuriki charged forwards.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Turning back around he teleported to the man, but too late. The grey haired ANBU clutched his bleeding eye. "Itachi, keep those things off the ground! I'll take care of him," Placing his right hand on the man's face he focused the chakra into the wound. "Kakashi, please try opening your eye," As the blond stepped backwards, his former captain opened his eyelid. A regular eye stared back at him in shock.

"You-, how?"

"I met the Sage of Six Paths, he gave me some powerful Sage chakra, I wasn't sure if it would work, which is why I said try to, because it might've just healed your eye shut instead,"

"Ahead of us," Madara reappeared from a swirl with an unconscious Obito controlled by something black sitting on one half of his body.

"Obito!"

"Obito is gone, I have taken over his body now," The black parasite spoke without moving Obito's mouth. Naruto noticed that his left eye was now a Sharingan while Madara held both Rinnegan. Over head the Susano' kept destroying more of the meteorites. Madara began floating upwards while smiling a vile, sinsister smile. Nobody noticed the boyd appear behind Obito, pulling the black parasite off of him and catching the falling body.

"You did your best Obito, you can rest for now, the world will need you when you wake up," They were gone the moment he was laid down.

"Everyone back on me!" Sasuke yelled as he landed, Itachi and Shisui were able to get back into the Susano'o before they heard.

"Infinite Tsykuyomi!" The light outside of the avatar changed.

"Katsuki!" Naruto yelled, charging out, Sasuke grabbed his shoulder,

"it's too late, you go out there and you'll get caught in the genjutsu too," Katsuki stumbled into the construct,

"Fucking, gah, bastard nearly got him," He patted down the small fires on his sleeve.

"H-how?"

"I'm guessing Primal Chakra again," Shisui pouted "Man that is such,"

"Actually, it's because I'm not from this world, I mean, yeah Primal Chakra is a factor," Katsuki shrugged "But it's mainly because I'm not from this world, I may abide by some of the rules, like gravity and time but I'm not bound to the rest like you guys, genjutsus don't work on me if I don't let them, mind you I have to concentrate on not letting them get me," A sigh of relief,

"Phew, that means we have that much more power to fight Madara," The light began to fade as the moon waned. The Susano'o faded as Madara landed beyond them, next to Obito's laying body. Naruto raised an eyebrow, where had the black parasite gone?

"You are the only few left," He stood up, "Once I have dealt with you, my plan to end the Karmic cycle will be complete!" His arms raised as he spoke of his illusionary grandeur. "I  am the saviour of this,"

"You are a raving lunatic who is just deceiving people," Sasuke growled, "Look at what you have done,"

"I have ended the long hitsory of fighting amongst ninja,"

"You have ended killing, by killing everyone," He spat, "A heroic deed if there ever was one, Naruto, teleport them away," A nod and the blond sent everyone back to the house in Konoha.

They looked around the area, as a pair of hands covered Kakashi's eyes. "Honestly," Nobody moved "He always leaves things half done, didn't even send Obito with you, jeez," Everyone stared in shock at the speaker, "Well, I suppose I'll just have to bring him with us when we come home," The figure was gone, leaving so fast not even a speck of dust was disturbed. They all gazed to Kakashi's eyes, in both rested a Mangekyou Sharingan. 

"You fought with all you had," Madara spoke gently, "Yet it wasn't enough," Sasuke and Naruto readied to fight again. "You should know by now, it's all over," A black hand pierced Madara's chest, through his heart.

"You are wrong Madara," The gravely voice of the black parasite spoke from behind the Jinchurriki, "You are not the saviour and things are far from over," The two boys looked at the scene, there was no way they were having a disagreement at this stage. "You see dear Madara, you too were living in a dream, a phantom I created,"

"How? I created you,"

"Wrong again Madara, my will is Kaguya's!" Naruto and Sasuke looked to each other in a panic, Kaguya? That was exactly what Six Path's Sage had warned them about. This was not shaping up to be good.  Black began spreading from Madara's wound as he yelled in pain. 

"This chakra is ridiculous!" The sheer power threatened to overwhelm his sensing as it continued to grow. They both drew a chakra enhanced blade and charged what remained of Madara. His body had begun bulging in a similar way to Obito's had. The two were seemingly having an argument as Madara was consumed. Both boys were closing in, until white hair fired away from the mass and captured them. They grunted as they tried to fight and escaped the grip. The thing continued to bulge. Naruto watched in abject horror, until a

Thump, Thum

A singular hearbeat and the growth stopped, the black mass began shrinking. A horn grew either side of the hair parting as a head took shape underneath it. The first eye on the forehead opened up revealing a nine-tomoe Rinne-Sharingan the rest of the body began to take form. Dressed in a regal hime-kimono with tomoe running down the centre and around the ends of the sleeves, the edges were highlighted with gold and purple lines. Fear overtook Naruto as he realized that they now faced.

"Kaguya Otsutsuki," No, that voice, it couldn't. "If you don't mind, please let go of those boys,"

"And who, are you?" Even her voice was regal to a fault, her eyes looking on as if talking to a worm.

"Me? I have gone by many names, the Green Death, the Forest Burner, the Emerald Shinigami, Kage, but you," Both boys turned their heads in disbelief, "You may call me Uzumaki Izuku Twilight Style user!"

"You called me Nozomi?" Enri frowned as she walked into the office, "I hope it was worth it, I have had to leave my wife with my son in a fragile state at the moment,"

"I apoligize Enri, I, this could not wait," The flaming heroine paused, Nozomi never faltered. Not even facing the most ddeliquent of children," The principal of UA always, always knew what to say. "I, Shoto will be recieving more aid from us from now on,"

"Why? Why should I trust a thing you say to me right now? How do I know you will not do anything to him?"

"Paranoia is a good trait Enri, but she means well," Kage stepped out from the shadows, befitting considering his chosen name. "After all she has realized her own hypocrisy at the very least,"

"You said you didn't,"

"I said I didn't work with Endeavor, I never said I hadn't spoken with Enri Todoroki," Did, did this guy just cut Nozomi off? Did that really just happen? She wasn't dreaming right? This guy had the spine to cut off the principal of UA?! "If you haven't guessed by now Chimera, my work goes hand in hand with lying, but to truly lie, you tell the truth, in a different way," He made himself comfortable on one of the chairs, "Do not fear Enri, I have a close associate with your wife and Shoto now, they do not realise but," A shrug, "This is how it is in my line of work," Great so a copy of Kage was watching over them, that was a  relaxing thought.

"And what exactly is your work Kage?" Nozomi asked coolly,

"Shinobi work," Hands protruded from his cloak spinning a kunai against his fingtip, "Y'know, being in shadows, stealthy takedowns, information collection," A pregnant pause "Murder without a trace, please Enri, sit," The kunai was waved around lazily and Enri decided to sit. "Now, I'm not going to say I'm always watching you but, I know where you are and what you are doing whenever I want to,"

"Intimidation doesn't work on me Kage,"

"Apaprently it does," Overwhelming power filled the room, cracks spread from below Kage's chair to the walls, Enri fought the urge to be sick. "Like I was saying," She could see Nozomi had frozen. That was impossible, "You have no reason to fear me, so long as you do not attempt to appease or upset me," He spun in the seat, his legs hanging over one arm as he leant on the other, "You'll find I'm outrageously indifferent to most things, one thing I do not accept however, is the treatment of my fellow men, many have come to you for help, yet you turn them away for fear UA would lose something, something like what? With the graduates all helping support the school I'd daresay you don't really need government funding anymore, not to mention the public, they know UA does things differently, a male course just to for helping the economy? That sounds pretty believable for bullshit doesn't it? Everyone would lap that up, a successful free man? You'd have women clamouring at the doors," Enri couldn't fault him, Kage's logic was pretty sound. A little bit of a web to weave but the world wouldn't bat an eye at implications, taking it for the word and milking the advantages for all it had. "I know you Nozomi, you are a lab expirement set free, hence the scarring, you don't know me and I doubt you ever truly will know me, but I am Kage, a boy who found his own freedom, you just can't see all of my scars so easily," Once again Enri found herself uneasy talking to this young man, "I am quickly approaching the battle that will end in my death, so I'd advise you get to work before my partner comes here and finds himself very displeased, because he is not as patient nor as forgiving as I am," He should not be talking so calmly about his own death. "I have spoken with a Shinigami before, he has hounded me for years ever since, the moment my soul is free, it is his," No, this man, this child. 

"Who did it to you? Who hurt you?" Kage laughed gently,

"If I tell you now, nothing will come of it, there will be no evidence, no time for argument or proving it, there is little to no point in telling you who I am anymore," To talk so cynically, this boy was harbouring more than anyone should in a lifetime. "So I will leave it all to you, if you wish to try and find out my heritage you are welcome to do so, but I suspect you will not find many leads, my birth, life and death were all covered up quite effectively,"

"On the other hand," Nozomi turned on a screen, "I have been doing a lot of information digging since I last met you, you see I love puzzles and you have set up quite the intracate one, well, whoever was trying to keep you hidden from the world, Hiashi Midoriya, does that name ring a bell?"

"Midoriya? Yes, whoever she is her brat has been galavanting around the city with a Katsumi Bakugo, attacking the homeless for no reason, I've spent many, many hours taking them to medic shelters or Recovery Girl herself, is she trying to go after me?"

"Not in the slightest, Hiashi Midoriya is a false name, a secret identity if you will,"

"Your point?" The large screen flickered behind Nezu,

"I found out that you had been caught at one point and a Naohana Tsukauchi interviewed you, or attempted to," It briefly showed Kage sat in a chair with handcuffs around his wrists. No audio played as the video continued, nobody could focus quite on his face. "I find these points interesting," The screen changed

"So far I have, my Young Miss, my Cuddle Bug and my Radio Head," It changed again, this time he effortlessly took down six officers with one dropping to the floor the moment she looked into his eyes. "She will be up in five minutes," The last officer was frozen as he held two batons to her, "Congratulations, when're they due?" Nezu coughed as he disappeared in a green flash before reappearing, handing something to this, Naohana person, and disappearing in the same manner.

"You took down six officers, you have at least three contacts who's minds you have most likely erased, you managed to defy Naohana's lie detector quirk, which has never failed before, knock an officer down by looking into her eyes and accurately deduce another was pregnant, how?"

"Training, they won't remember a thing, don't go after them, training again, trade secret and there was a second heartbeat from the woman," Kage answered bluntly, his hand flicked again and Enri caught a cookie spinning to her head, "Good reflexes," He bit into his own, "Is there a point to this Nozomi?"

"Not really, it's just that Naohana has decided to aid me in my little quest," Kage cooed mockingly,

"Aww, is the widdle girlie going on a qwest?" His snarl was visible, "You will not intimidate me by outing my identity, hell you'd probably make an enemy of the people that tried hiding me away," Enri quietly ate her cookie, respecting the boy more and more. "Let me make things as clear as I can chimera," He was out of his chair and on the desk in seconds, "I didn't visit you to challenge you about finding out my identity, I paid you a visit to remind you of your roots and how you owe it to your past self and the you that suffered to help those in a position like your used to be trapped in," She swore that any more venom in his voice would start having a physical effect on Nozomi, "I can't help because I am going to die shortly, anything I do now would be in vain, so I'm leaving it to those I believe capable of making an impact, one has already disappointed me, do not be the second,"

"I will find out who you are Kage, if only to satiate my own curiousity, I hadn't met someone who could actually kill me before you, so I am curious as to who you are and just where you learned your trade secrets, but know that regardless of my personal quiery I am working to clean up the mess I previously partook in, you made it clear in our last meeting, I should help the men that come to me for it, because I was in a position where people would cast me aside if I asked for help, you are right, I do owe it to who I once was to be better than those that didn't help me, so I will be repenting for my mistakes, I can only hope it is enough," Enri blinked and Kage as already walking towards the window.

"You are trying Nozomi, that alone proves where you stand now," He was gone in smoke and leaves.
