Tsunade silently watched her son as he fumbled his backpack over his shoulder, his eyes seemed drained, devoid of most emotion while he stared at the mirror in his room, she had gone up to check on him and was silently staring at him with worry. Naruto's eyes roamed and met hers and gave her a confused look. "What is it." Tsunade blinked and she frowned deepened. "I'm worried about you, you seem down." Naruto rolled his eyes as he turned around and stared her down. "It's the same thing, different day." He strolled right past her making the woman sigh.

"What did he do then?" Naruto stopped in the middle of the stairs and looked up at his adopted mother with a glare. "Does it matter?" Tsunade scoffed as she walked after him when he continued his trek down the stairs. "Yes, it does matter, because if you are making Izuku out to be the bad guy then god forbid." Naruto laughed out bitterly. "Of course you're taking his side." Tsunade rolled her eyes at that. "It's called playing devil's advocate, I don't know what he did but I know he wouldn't do anything to harm you."

Naruto's eyes flashed red as he turned around and glared at her. "THEN WHY DID HE FORGIVE THAT BASTARD!" Tsunade stopped her steps and stared at the blood-red eyes in surprise. "HE DIDN'T DESERVE ANY FORGIVENESS FOR EVERYTHING HE DONE AND HE WENT BACK TO HIM!" Naruto took a shaky breath, he barely had taken one when he started yelling and now he was shaking. "I was the one... I-I was the one!" Tsunade took a step forward and slowly wrapped her arms around him gently. "You're talking about that Bakugo boy, aren't you..."

She had heard a lot from Izuku and Naruto about the blond explosive boy, even hearing how bad it got with Izuku and Katsuki to the point where Naruto, in his words 'wanted to rip his head off.' and she had to agree, he was defiantly not the most pleasant person on the planet... but he wasn't a villain... he wanted to be a hero... She had seen Izuku's sad eyes when he had told her how they used to be close... very close.

She had also heard Aizawa's distaste to the boy's attitude but it was shoved down by the fact the boy made excellent marks on all his tests and his drive to become a hero, even if it was a little unorthodox was something that would never break and would probably make him the number one if he goes at the pace he was heading.

"I d-don't un-understand..." the stutter made it a little hard to understand the blond. Pulling him away Tsunade looked him dead straight in the eyes and said words that made Naruto go blank... "Izuku is not Sasuke." Silently looking down at his hands at the name his mind went back to that time...

"Sasuke! You're eyes!" A young Naruto shouted in surprise as a young black-haired boy had been playing on top of a slide and fell down... Naruto had clambered after him and when the boy opened his eyes, they had morphed from being pure black to a red iris, and in that iris were three tomoes spinning slowly around his pupil. "They look so cool!" Sasuke blinked his eyes as he and Naruto went to the park bathroom where Sasuke got to look in the mirror to see the red eyes.

"Just like my brothers!" Sasuke had been much more monotone unless it was about his family, but this was the rare time Naruto got to see the boy smile so brightly. "Now we wait for yours!" Now we wait for yours... Now We wait for yours... Naruto flinched at the thought as Tsunade stared at him in the eyes. "Izuku is more like you and you know it... you were both quirkless and people are harsher than ever since quirks came around." Naruto closed his eyes out of spite as another memory came along...

"Momma... Does Sasuke hate me..." Red hair fell in front of Naruto's face as a gentle hand brushed against his head. "There are people who discriminate against people like us Naruto... young and old." Looking up his lips wobbled into a sad frown as tears flowed. "I don't want to be alone..." His mother had gently pressed her hand against his cheek and she smiled fondly. "Oh sweetie, you'll never be alone when I'm around. You also like your dad and Tsunade-san right?"

Naruto nodded his head wearily as the thumb that was gently rubbing the tears away stopped, "Besides, one day you'll find many friends who will hold you close to their heart as a dear friend, quirk or no quirk..." Naruto's head remained down in sadness at the thought of his mother before hearing one last thing from Tsunade. "People come and go from your life... the only thing you can do is to not be the reason for it." She looked at the clock and pushed him forward. "Come on... let's try not to be late."

Naruto didn't say anything as he walked out the held open door with Tsunade in tow. When they had gotten into Tsunade's car she gave a silent look towards Naruto who had his head to the window, pulling into the gate Tsunade heard the small whisper, "What if I already pushed him out of my life..." Tsunade pressed the card to the scanner and the gate opened. "Well, that's the hard part..." Naruto slowly turned his head and looked at her waiting. "If I tell you all the answers you won't learn from it..." Tsunade said making Naruto groan out, his head hitting the head of the seat, with a small huff he looked out the window.

"Just be a little bit excited for today... you have a field trip today." Naruto sighed as he looked out the window... seeing a familiar viridian-haired boy running to the school, obviously afraid of being late... Naruto stared a little more before the car pulled up to the side of the building blocking the view blinking he sighed as he opened the door. "M-Mom..." Tsunade rolled down the window as Naruto closed the door. "Thank you..." She smiled warmly. "It's my job, I want my future son-in-law." Naruto instantly turned around, a blush reaching up to his ears etched his face.

"If he'll even have me back as a friend..."

...

Izuku groaned in discomfort as he sat back In his seat, he had arrived earlier because his clock was wrong so he had thought he was going to be late. huffing in annoyance he looked up and saw Tenya preparing papers, the previous day it was chaos to be the representative for class 1-A, he had put Tenya down as his vote and it was close as Iida had the most votes and him and Momo somehow managed to tie, though Izuku had happily declined the position for vice as he knew he would be too skittish to lead...

"Midoriya-Kun!" opening his eyes he saw Ochako walking up to him fairly quickly and sat down in Katsuki's spot right in front of him. "So I heard that today we are going on a field trip!" Izuku tilted his head curiously as Tenya overheard it and walked over. "I didn't hear anything about that." He said waving his arm in a chopping motion. "W-Where would w-we even go? The campus is b-big but still." The door had opened once again as the conversation continued. "I guess it is only a rumor, but I would love to go somewhere!" Ochako bounced in the seat.

"It's not a rumor." Izuku tensed hearing the voice enter the conversation and he turned to see the whiskered blond he had been trying his best not to think about too much. "Mom said we had one so..." The blond looked away and walked back to his seat. Izuku had been staring just a little at the blond who walked his way over to a redhead and started a small conversation with the boy with sharp teeth. "OY ROUND FACE! Get out of my seat!" Izuku jumped hearing a small popping sound, turning around he saw Katsuki glaring at Ochako while she gave a small annoyed look. "Baaah Bakagou two can play at bad nicknames!"

Izuku could only chuckle sheepishly as the two went back and forth before she finally gave in and stood up letting the blond sit down and his feet made their way on top of the desk, Izuku leaned back a little not to get hit by the blonds head that was a little closer then it should be. The door opened once again and Izuku turned to see their teacher looking like someone who had just crawled out of bed. "Everyone get to your seats and be quiet..." It was quiet almost a second later making Izuku breathe out in relief when Aizawa nodded in approval.

"Today we will be going on a trip." Ochako had instantly given a fist pump to the air in excitement like she called a lucky lottery number as everyone else started to quietly chat amongst themselves in excitement. "Settle down... All Might myself and one other hero will be joining us." Izuku had been smiling away, his excitement beaming, he had a lot of joy doing the exercise that was set up by All Might and now he's going to be doing one set up by three! He could hardly contain the excitement. "Now put on your costumes and head out to the bus."

Aizawa pressed the button as the wall opened up and all of the numbered boxes slid out from the wall. Izuku stood up and waited as Mineta had been quickly running through had made standing up a little more difficult and sat back down with a sigh. Momo strolled up and gave the little teen a look of disgust before holding out her hand for Izuku to grab. "He should really learn patience." Izuku looked up and nodded slowly, grabbing her hand as Naruto gave a small gaze towards him, Izuku catching his eye for the first time since their duo fights.

Izuku gave a small smile towards him while the blond closed his eyes and looked forward towards Katsuki who was trying to wrangle his box free from the wall before silently back at Izuku who's eyes crinkled in a sad hue, silently looking down he turned around and grabbed his case fairly quickly while Naruto stared silently at his back, frowning as the conversation with Tsunade kept rolling in his head back and forth before he sighed... "Maybe we'll be paired up..."

The thought was a little bit hopeful but that's all he could be... grabbing his case he walked out of the classroom and headed for the locker rooms.

...

Izuku chuckled sheepishly as Tenya's head fell in dismay, apparently, the bus had been an open floor design and he had worked so hard to get everyone in order. "Midoriya-san." Looking to his left he saw Tsuyu with her eyes staring at him in curiosity. "I'm sorry for being to forward but your quirk is like All Mights." Izuku tensed and laughed slightly at that. "Y-You think so? That's nice of you to say Asui." "Call me Tsu." smiling sheepishly at her Eijiro to the right of him butted in on the conversation. "You forget Tsu that All Might doesn't have that electricity around him. Is your quirk a emitter or physical?"

Eijiro question made Izuku pause and look down at his hands. "I'm not sure myself, It only just manifested two months ago." if the bus wasn't making its own noise, Izuku could swore everyone went silent at the statement. "REALLY!? Wow! That is awesome! You even got a really flashy one too!" Eijiro had gotten really close to his face and Izuku could only feel the blush that rised in his face but then there was something that flashed in the redheads eyes. "You're really lucky, mine is just hardening." He flexed his arm and the jagged lines creased over his entire arm.

"I-I think your quirk is really c-cool! It's simple but practical! H-How hard can it get??" Izuku asked as he lightly touched the arm that was raised in front of him. "I got a pitcher to pitch me a fast ball and I was able to catch it... though it hurt since he pitched a seventy mile per hour ball." He reflexively started shaking his hand in a phantom pain while he stared at the hand that was on his arm. Izuku blushed brightly and pulled away his hands up to his face in embarrassment. Naruto who was just across couldn't help but feel a pang of jealously that Izuku and his new friend had been doing across from him.

"Well if we are talking about flashiest quirks it would defiantly be Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki and Uzumaki right?" Denki to the right of Naruto stated, looking between the two blonds who were in the bus and then staring at the viridian claded teen. "Well lets not forget our favorite Pikachu." Naruto stated placing a hand on the other blonds shoulder with a grin. "Hey man come on not you as well! Bakugo called me a knock off Pikachu." Izuku and Ejiro stiffled some laughs while Naruto gave a small look towards Katsuki who was just a seat down. "Well at least you four have well versed quirks, yall will be heroes for sure."

Tsu put a finger up staring at the three on the other side seeing Katsuki have a smug look at the praise she decided to squash it herself. "Bakugo's personality will make it hard for him to ever become popular." Izuku started coughing trying to choke back a laugh as the ash blond glared and stood up. "WHAT DID YOU SAY FROG FACE!" She gave a small look towards izuku and Eijiro. "See?" Just before Katsuki could make his move the bus stopped and he fell to the floor, Aizawa looked back at the children. "We are here, quit the ruckus..."

TBC

Stopping it here for now...

Sasuke is revealed and Naruto has some insecurities of his own.
