"Seems I finally made it. So this is Musutafu, looks like a peaceful enough place. With some luck, maybe I'll be able to live here for a long time."
A young boy says as he overlooks the city from the top of a building. His white hair flowing in the breeze. The light of the rising sun reflecting on his deep blue eyes.
"Well, I better get moving. I shouldn't be late for the start of my new life."
The boy said calmly, as he went down into the city that he would soon call home.
(Timeskip)
In Aldera Middle School, on a first-year class, a loud blonde haired boy is bragging to his classmates.
"You extras just watch! I'll be the first student from this place to enter UA, and then I'll become even stronger than All Might and take the spot of Number 1 Hero for myself!"
After hearing this, the classmates surrounding him started complimenting him. While they praised him, another classmate, sitting in his seat, looked sadly before returning to his reading. He was a shy green haired boy, with freckles on his face.
As the other students praised the blonde boy, the teacher suddenly comes in.
Teacher:"Alright, everyone take your seats. Today, we have a new student joining our class."
All the students rushed to their seats. Everyone eagerly waited to see the new student, wondering if they were boy or girl, if they were cute, etc. The typical talk of pre-teens.
Teacher:"You may come in and present yourself."
With these words, a white haired boy entered the class with a bored look on his face. All girls in class started blushing, talking about how cute he was, while the boys were disappointed, having hoped that their new classmate was a girl. After turning to the class, the boy starts introducing himself.
Minato:"My name is Minato Amamiya, I'm 12 and I don't have any hobbies."
Finishing his introduction, Minato sits in the place assigned by the teacher, in front of the green haired boy and to the left of the blonde one. Afterwards, classes continued as usual and came to a close. After the end of classes all the other students went to talk with their new classmate, who was still in his seat. He greeted them all with the same bored look in his face, until a certain blonde stood right next to him.
Minato:"And you are?"
Bakugo:"The name's Katsuki Bakugo, and don't you forget it, cause I'm gonna be the next Number 1 Hero, got that, you extra!"
Bakugo said, arrogantly, with a smirk on his face.
Minato:"Yeah, sure. Go right ahead."
Minato responded with his bored look, looking away in disinterest and waving his hand like he was shooing him away. Pissed at this, Bakugo decided to teach him a lesson, and went to slam his classmate's desk with an explosion to scare him off. When Minato realised it, he grabbed his wrist, causing the explosion to accidentally hit his lower arm, damaging his uniform's arm. All the other students were terrified of what just happened, while Bakugo was in utter shock.
Bakugo(thought):"How! No one ever stands up to me! Everyone is terrified by the sound of my explosions alone. They know their place and obey me. How the hell does this guy dare standing up to me?"
Everyone was worried about their new classmate, until they see his arm without a single scratch, shocking them. As everyone bombards him with questions, Minato leaves, deciding that it would be for the best to learn the layout of the school. As he was walking around the school, he spotted some of his classmates, one of them, a green haired boy, was being bullied by the two others. Seeing this, he decides to step in. As he comes closer, catching his other classmates by surprise, he asks what's going on and his classmates answered that they're showing the quirkless freak his place in the world.
Minato(thought):"So that's what's happening. They're bullying him because he's quirkless."
Minato stood between the bullies and the quirkless boy, confusing them. He turns towards the bullies and punches both simultaneously, so hard and fast that the two go down after one punch each, without realizing what had happened. Minato then turns to the quirkless boy and helps him up and accompanies him to the nurse's office. After leaving it, they start talking, as they walk through the hallway.
"Why did you help me? I mean, I am grateful, but you heard them before. I'm just a quirkless."
Minato:"(Serious) Quirkless or not, you're still a person. You think heroes would be praised if they just helped those they deemed worthy? ...Plus, I can kinda relate to what you were going through."
Izuku:"(Surprised) Oh... I see. Well, thanks again. I'm Izuku Midoriya. I hope we get along well."
Minato:"Minato Amamiya. Don't worry about it and I hope so too. Never really had friends, so I don't really know what it's like. Also, if you're ever in any trouble like that again talk to me. Okay, Midoriya?"
Izuku:"You can call me Izuku, and I will, thanks. You know, you really sounded like a hero just now. Are you gonna enroll in a hero course in high school?"
Minato:"I never really thought about it. When I was little I dreamed of being a hero. But I don't think I will. (Sad) I'm... not really cut out to be a hero."
Minato said with an sad look on his face, to which Izuku responded with a determined look and a big smile.
Izuku:"I think you're wrong. Minato-kun. Back there, when I was being bullied, you could have just turned away, but instead you decided to help me. That's what makes a hero, in my opinion. Even though I'm quirkless, I want to become a hero. I want to be like All Might, and save people with a smile. I don't know if I'll be able to do it but I still want to try. So why don't we try together. What do think?"
After hearing those words, Minato smiled a little.
Minato:"(Smiling) Sure. I guess we can try it. Together. Like you said, Izuku."
Minato and Izuku looked at each other smiling and fist-bumped. Izuku then pulls out a notebook from his backpack, along with a pencil, and turns to face Minato, opening said notebook.
Izuku:"By the way... (Excited) What's your quirk, if you don't mind me asking? What you did back there was incredible! You took them down with a punch on each one! Is it a strength quirk?"
Minato was surprised by the meek boy's sudden excitement, before answering.
Minato:"Something like that. It's like a permanent physical boost. I'm faster and stronger than most, along with a couple other things..."
Reaching the outside of the building, the two boys leave school, as an excited Izuku kept asking all sorts of questions about Minato's quirk.
(Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Minato reading Chibi Izuku's notebooks)
A couple days have passed. School had ended for the day, as Minato and Izuku were walking around town. Minato went to a convenience store, while Izuku waited. As Minato finished his purchase. He hears small blast sounds coming from the park across the road. As he walks out, he sees Izuku, his collar being grabbed by Bakugo's hand, who kept releasing small explosions from the other.
Bakugo:"(Pissed) What do you think you're doing, useless Deku!? Do you think that siding with that bastard will keep you safe!?"
Suddenly, Bakugo's wrist is gripped by Minato, who looks threateningly to him before speaking.
Minato:"Let go of him."
Bakugo lets go of Izuku, quickly pulling his wrist from Minato's grip.
Bakugo:"I still have a score to settle with you. Don't think you can just come here and act like your the best! I'm the strongest in the school, and I'll show it! Let's fight!"
Minato simply ignores the blonde and turns to Izuku, checking to see if he's fine.
Minato:"Are you okay?"
Izuku:"Yeah, I'm fine."
Minato:"Why was he calling you that?"
Izuku:"You mean "Deku"? It's the nickname Ka-chan gave me when we were little."
Bakugo:"(Pissed) I told you to stop calling me that, Deku! And you! Stop ignoring me!"
After hearing all of this, Minato is the one who starts to get pissed. He faces Bakugo and speaks.
Minato:"(Pissed) So you two know each other since you were little, and yet, you bully him like that?"
Bakugo:"So what? He's nothing but a quirkless loser. As for the two of us, like I said, we have a score to settle, so I want to fight you."
Izuku:"You two can't fight. You'll get in trouble if you use your quirks..."
Suddenly, Minato interrupts Izuku.
Minato:"I'll fight you, on one condition: If you lose, you stop bullying Izuku."
Bakugo:"And if you lose, you'll tell the entire school that I beat you!"
Minato looks at Bakugo with a serious look.
Minato:"I have no intention of losing. Now let's go. I wanna finish this before sunset."
Bakugo started leading Minato to a secluded area with plenty of space, Izuku following both of them closely. After arriving the two of them get in their places, taking battle stances.
Minato:"You ready?"
Bakugo:"You're going down!"
Izuku, accepting that he can't stop this, starts the countdown.
Izuku:"3, 2, 1..."
Minato&Bakugo:"Go!"
Bakugo immediately goes running towards Minato, using his explosions to speed up. Minato, reading his movements, runs towards him, allowing Bakugo to throw a punch at him. Just then, Minato turns around, sliding his foot around him, dodging the punch. He then takes the chance and uses Bakugo's momentum to grab his arm and throw him over his shoulder into the ground. Bakugo gets winded from the blow, but gets back up quickly. When he does, Minato is nowhere to be seen until he takes a blow to the chin, looking to his right, finding Minato in a pose of someone who just did an uppercut. Bakugo tries to get back in his stance but finds himself too dizzy to do so, due to not having recovered yet from the blow to his chin. Minato then goes for the final blow, tripping him, making him fall backwards and then goes for a punch to the head. Bakugo tries his best to defend himself on his dizzied state and closes his eyes, waiting for the final blow, which seems to never come. When Bakugo opens his eyes, he sees Minato standing next to him, his hand there for Bakugo to grab in order to get up. He grabs it and tries to recover from his dizziness. After doing so, he turns to Minato.
Bakugo:"Why did you help me? You should have finished me off!"
Minato:"Because I've decided to try to become a hero, and a hero wouldn't have done that."
Bakugo looks at him surprised. Izuku decides to step in as well.
Izuku:"I... I agree. A hero is someone who helps others, not hurt them. You want to be a hero too Ka-chan, so why don't we try together. You're both my friends, even if you don't see me like that, so lets help each other."
Minato then speaks with a small smile on his face.
Minato:"(Smiling) If you see me as your friend, then I'll see you as mine. And I do agree with what you said. What do you think, Bakugo?"
Bakugo:"I don't care about friends, but from now on, your my rival. I'll surpass you and become Number 1, just you wait! As for you, Deku, you're just a quirkless, so you'll never be a hero!"
Izuku gets sad hearing his words. Right there, Minato hits Bakugo with a karate shop, right in the head.
Bakugo:"Ow! What was that for!?"
Minato:"Our bet, remember? You can't bully Izuku anymore, plus you shouldn't treat your friends like that, so, as your friend, it's my job to put you in your place, so I'll hit you until you stop being a tsundere."
Minato said with a plain look on his face. Bakugo answers, enraged.
Bakugo:"(Angry) What did you just call me!"
Minato gains a small smile while Izuku start chuckling.
Minato:"So, wanna become a hero with us or not?"
Bakugo:"Tch. If it means I'll get to beat you up one of these days, I'm in."
Said Bakugo with his usual pissed off look.
Izuku:"Anyways, we should be going home. It's gonna get late. Where do you live, Minato-kun?"
Minato answers with his plain look.
Minato:"I don't have a place to live yet. I live alone so I have to find one by myself. I probably should have done that before starting school."
Izuku:"Wait. If you don't have a place to stay, where have you been sleeping?"
Minato:"I've been camping at a forest nearby. That's why I needed to go to the store. I was out of food."
Izuku looks at him surprised while Katsuki face-palms with an annoyed look on his face. Bakugo then talked to Izuku.
Bakugo:"(Annoyed) You don't have an extra room in your house,right?"
Izuku:"I'm afraid so."
Bakugo, turning to Minato, says:
Bakugo:"(Sighs) Okay then, I'll make it so you can stay in my house until you find a place."
Minato:"Thanks. Okay then, let's go, Izuku, Tsundere."
Said Minato, walking into the streets.
Izuku chuckled again while Bakugo got mad, while they both followed along. Izuku guided Minato to Bakugo's house and the three boys started walking to it, talking and having fun, while thinking of their decision to become heroes together.
(Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Minato karate chopping Chibi Bakugo for bullying Chibi Izuku)
After arriving at the Bakugo house, the three boys entered to be greeted by a shout coming from inside the house
"Have you looked at the time! Where have you been until now, you brat!"
Then comes to the entrance of the house a woman with unruly blonde hair and red eyes, looking very similar to Bakugo. Upon seeing Minato and Izuku, she calmed down.
"Oh, you brought visitors. It's Izuku-chan! How have you been? Is your mother doing well? Oh, and who is this? I don't believe I know him."
Bakugo:"Shut up, you old hag! We're going up to my room and he (points at Minato) is spending the night here so get the guest room ready, you ha-"
Minato immediately karate chops Bakugo in the forehead.
Bakugo:"Ow! What the hell, man!"
Minato:"That is no way to talk to your mother, now say you're sorry."
Bakugo:"No way!"
Minato karate chops him again.
Minato:"Say it."
Bakugo growls at Minato, before looking at his mother and then at the ground.
Bakugo:"...I'm sorry."
Izuki and Mrs.Bakugo look at them, completely stunned at what just happened. Afterwards, the three boys explained Minato's predicament at Mrs.Bakugo.
Mrs.Bakugo:"I see, so you have nowhere to stay right now. And what about your parents? Where are they? Why didn't they help you with it?"
Minato:"I don't have parents. I mean, I don't really remember them. Last time I saw them, I was 4 years old. I don't even remember their faces."
Mrs.Bakugo:"And what about all these years. Where have you been living? Who has been taking care of you?"
Hearing these questions, Minato lowers his head covering his eyes.
Minato:"I'd...rather not say. All I can say is that I've been living and providing for myself for the last 2 years."
Hearing this, Izuku connects the dots.
Izuku:"That has something to do with before, right? When you said you could relate to me being bullied."
Hearing this, Mrs.Bakugo looked sympathetically at Minato
Mrs.Bakugo:"Well, whatever the case, you're welcome to say here for as long as you need, Minato-kun."
Mrs.Bakugo said with a large smile on her face.
Minato:"Thank you."
Minato said with a small smile.
Mrs.Bakugo:"You're welcome. Now, Izuku-chan, I hope you stay for dinner with us. Katsuki's father is almost home and I'm sure he would like to see you so tall. You could even sleep here, like you and Katsuki did when you were kids."
Bakugo interrupts her.
Bakugo:"Shut up, old hag!"
Minato then karate chops him again.
Minato:"You shut up, Tsundere. I do think it's a good idea Izuku."
Izuku:"I shouldn't. My mom will get worried."
Mrs.Bakugo:"Don't worry. I'll call your mother. Now, you boys go upstairs and I'll call you when dinner is ready."
The boys went upstairs to Bakugo's room and started talking about training to be heroes. Izuku showed them his hero notebooks and talked about how they could learn from other people's quirks and learn to adapt in battle, as well as their quirks' limits and training to surpass them and Minato talked about how quirks are physical abilities and that training the body to make it stronger would also strengthen certain quirks. Mrs.Bakugo then called them for dinner and Minato met Mr.Bakugo. After hearing about Minato and what little he spoke of his past, Mr.Bakugo welcomed Minato with open arms. After dinner, the boys went back upstairs to start planning their hero training.
Minato:"So, how are we gonna do this?"
Izuku:"Well, we could organize a training program and study other quirks."
Minato:"We should also study our own quirks and develop ways to improve our use and strengthen them."
Bakugo:"This is way too confusing! Let's just train and fight until we're tired!"
Minato and Izuku laugh at Bakugo's reaction. The three boys talk some more until it's time to sleep. The three of them lie down falling asleep, each one thinking about the kind of hero they want to be.
