#3 Proposition

Izuku had done a lot of pacing before he was set to meet up with All Might, he didn't know what else to do, he didn't think he should tell anyone that he was going to meet up with THE number one hero who had an offer for a quirkless teen... he had been mulling over that for a while but as he did, he looked at his clock and saw that he had a few minutes... so he put on his shoes and turned towards his mom who was busy making dinner. 

"Izuku! Are you leaving?" Inko yelled from the kitchen to get Izuku's attention. "Yeah! I'll be back in a bit!" Izuku shouted back before opening the door to his apartment and started to jog over to where All Might said... Dagobah beach was an interesting choice, to say the least. A beach that was turned into a dump many years ago for illegal dumping that washed to shore or even right on the spot...

He stopped as he finally reached the beach and he grimaced at the state of the place, he remembered seeing this on a few occasions when he was younger but it was nowhere as bad as it was now. He looked back and forth before sitting on the wall overlooking the beach, mulling over his day for just a few minutes... "Young Midoriya." Izuku jumped slightly as he turned around to see All might standing there and he quickly got up and stood up straight.

"Why are we here All might?" He asked curiously as he looked back and forth at the beach and then to the hero. "Well, you asked if a quirkless person can be a hero, in theory... anyone can be a hero... but..." All might frowned slightly as he looked out towards the dump of a beach. "Many schools and hero agencies have tests that seem impossible with people with quirks that don't enhance their way of fighting..." All Might thought back to UA which from the past five years had become a difficult exam.

"So my proposition... I would like to give you my quirk." Izuku's mouth dropped as All Might waved his hand in an upward motion. "Close your mouth, it'll catch flies!" His laughter boomed making Izuku do as he was told but stuttered out, "T-That's impossible, q-quirks c-can't be given, it's t-true that many tried to figure out your quirk like a strength quirk or even a speed quirk but a quirk that can be given?" Izuku muttered and All Might sweatdropped.

"Yes well... this might shock you but..." All Might's form seemingly puffed into smoke and Izuku looked up to only see a skeleton-like man and Izuku looked back and forth from his left and right. "A-All Might?" The man who seemed to have a permanent frown on his face nodded. "Yeah, it's me." The man sighed before looking at Izuku in the eye. "I am kinda like the guys at the pool who suck in their gut to look buff." His metaphor made Izuku fall to the ground.

"But yes kid, my power is a stockpiling quirk that can be handed down like a torch, the more users the more power it gets each time." Izuku looked up at the man in shock. "B-But why me? I-If you gave it to someone with a quirk then they would be powerful just like you, why a quirkless nobody like me..." Izuku used the words of Katsuki Bakugo and looked down sorrowful.

"Well, because my master did the same thing." Izuku looked up in shock as All Might gave a small smile to the boy. "I wanted to be a hero to give everyone hope... and you have a similar ideology as me, so... I think you would be the perfect person to hand it down to." Izuku felt tears well up in his eyes as All Might suddenly waved his hands and laughed slightly sheepishly. "Come on kid, if your gonna be crying you'll get dehydrated!" 

Izuku wiped away his eyes and he smiled brightly, even with the tears falling down. "What's with blonds around me." He muttered making All Might blink and tilt his head in confusion. Shaking his head from the question All Might continued. "The reason we are here is so you can train. My quirk One for All needs a body strong enough to hold it or... there will be repercussions for it." All Might dialed back on what might happen.

Izuku nodded his head, it made sense... "I couldn't find a good secluded gym or dojo to train you so this can work for many things, cleaning up is one of the many mundane things Hero's do every day, but also you will need a lot of strength for all this." Izuku tilted his head. "My friend's family owns a dojo." Izuku paused as he said this... "friend... I guess he is..."  He smiled slightly.

"Oh? If they allow us to use it I suppose that can be our area to work on your style to fight... but if I were to go as All Might... it might cause problems." He muttered before looking at Izuku who looked at him with a curious head tilt. "Do you think you can bring me to this dojo your friend owns?" He asked making Izuku nod his head nevertheless. "Yeah of course All-" "And not my hero name, My real name is Toshinori Yagi, I'll have to explain why I need a successor anyway." Izuku paused but nodded his head.

"Okay, Yagi-san..." Grabbing his phone after hearing this he started to text his mother, saying he might be a little late for dinner. After walking a little ways a text pinged back saying 'Alright honey, don't stay out too late, I'll put the food in the microwave if it gets cold.' Izuku smiled slightly at that. His mom was a good portion of his reason for becoming a hero but... he knew that she was terrified if he went through with it... The hero's career was dangerous, of course, what parent wouldn't be worried?

...

"Ya know ya brat I can't wait till you become a hero, get you out of my hair!" Tsunade shouted as she chased after Naruto for the granny comment earlier that morning. "Ya know I'm faster than you granny!" Tsunade grinned as she activated her quirk, her quirk 'Aura expansion' was similar to Naruto's quirk in the sense that she can manipulate energy inside her body and push it out... doing it to a wound she can heal it almost instantaneously... but of course not everyone knew the extent of her power and she pushed off with her foot, the aura expanding from her soles and she appeared next to Naruto and grabbed his arms.

"Not quite brat." Naruto blinked in surprise, knowing Tsunade never used her quirk. "Now... Tell me about your day brat." As she dropped his arms she asked the question. The blond rubbed his arms in a sore feeling and smiled slightly. "Well, I made a friend." He muttered making Tsunade look over with a smile. "Oh? So you made a good first impression! No pranks?" She asked making Naruto pause at what she said.

"technically first impression was me doing martial arts... I guess so, He wants to be a hero like me." Tsunade rolled his eyes at that, "That's not surprising, that's what everyone wants to be." Naruto bit his lip as he looked at her. "He's quirkless." Tsunade looked at him in surprise as she frowned at the thought. "I see." She nodded her head thinking back briefly, his mother and one of her dear friends Kushina Uzumaki was quirkless... and before her and her husband, Minato's deaths, Naruto was thought to be quirkless too.

Naruto hummed at the thought and smiled at her. "So, I told him I would help him! If he wanted it I told him to come on by!" Tsunade shook her head, a smile coming to her face. "You would wouldn't ya." Naruto's face split into a grin and had the decency to look sheepish, ruffling his hair she waved her hand briefly. "Go take a shower, the food will be done in about an hour." Naruto nodded his head before turning his head, "What food?" Tsunade rolled her eyes.

"Ramen." Naruto smiled brightly and ran towards the bathroom, eager to get out and eat some ramen. Tsunade shook her head in amusement as she started to walk out of the dojo portion of the home, but as she was about to close it, a knock rang in her ears and she turned around towards the door... she walked over towards the door, as it slid open she was greeted by an interesting sight.

"Well, well... if it isn't Toshinori." Tsunade grinned as the blond's eyes widened at the sight. "Tsunade!?" He shouted and blood seem to spill out of his mouth, Izuku who was next to him kinda jumped back in shock at the blood before looking back in forth between the two. "You know each other?!" He asked in shock making her turn towards him with a curious look, studying him. "Yeah, I've done hero work with this oaf, What can I do for you, All Might." She grinned while Izuku studied the blond woman back... Hero work? So she's a hero?

"Wait... I know you..." Izuku muttered before he smiled brightly. "You're the PRINCESS hero! The one who heals with her Aura!" Tsunade blinked in surprise before tilting her head. "Wow, I didn't know someone would know me, but yeah that's me!" She grinned making him smile brightly. "Oh! Are you Naruto's mom?! Wow, his mom is so cool." He muttered but loud enough for her to hear and she laughed. "Ah so you're the friend he was talking about, I like you already." She grinned, knowing what mischievous things she could do to embarrass her adopted son.

"Well come on in, I heard so little from my son, and I'm so curious to know why you are with Toshinori." Izuku looked up at the skeletal version of All Might who waved his hand in a way to let him explain and Izuku bounced on his feet as he was excited, he knew about the princess hero, he was shocked that she wasn't well known as there really wasn't too many recorded healing quirks out there, and it wasn't even the whole picture of her quirk!

In applications, she could quite literally do anything with her aura, enhance strength and speed for example... and that was when he thought of Naruto's quirk, wondering if his quirk was exactly like hers. "Wait, you said son, since when?" Toshinori asked in shock as he tried to think back to the last time he saw her. "W-well... adopted mother... His parents were very close to me." Tsunade said with a sad sigh, thinking again back to her red-haired friend.

"Anyways, enough about us, tell me why you are here, especially with Toshinori." Izuku looked up at her who was looking back with an expected look. "He's my successor." Izuku gave a glance to the blond man next to him before back at Tsunade, "Naruto said he would help me train as well... if it's okay." He gave a stuttered out response, his head tilted down so he didn't have to look up at a possible face of rejection.

for just a moment he was looking at the floor, and then he looked up to see a small sad smile, "You need more confidence. What's your name?" Izuku, for the third time that day introduced himself... "Izuku Midoriya." She grinned and closed her eyes, "It suits you, Midoriya-Kun." Izuku's face flushed at the comment before she waved her hand forward. "Come, I made more than enough food to talk over." Tsunade waved as she went to the back of the dojo where the home part of the floor laid.

Izuku looked around in surprise while Toshinori hummed as he looked at some pictures on the wall. One picture stood out to Izuku as he slowly walked towards it, he tilted his head slightly as a small smile formed, a little blond-haired boy with familiar blue eyes and whisker marks was sitting on a younger Tsunade, the bright smile that was on his face as he held up his hand in a peace sign. "That's an old one." Izuku jumped as the voice was right behind him. Looking behind him, Tsunade had startled him. "This was before he was my kid..." Tsunade grabbed the picture and smiled grimly. "He used to jump on my lap so I would have to hold him, he used to be such a cuddly kid." 

Izuku stared at the picture in her hands before she placed it back on the wall. "Now, Naruto told me that he would help you so I guess I will not mind his first friend to come over, of course, there are rules," Tsunade said as she went over towards the kitchen while the two sat down at the table. "Well I say rules, it's just two. I'm a hero myself so I would like to help many more heroes to be so I am not strict about this... Rule one, Naruto is the one to say whether he wants you to stop coming. Number two, nothing inappropriate of the four walls of this home!" She said with a grin while Toshinori who was sipping some water that was set in front of him spit it out.

"W-What!?" Izuku stuttered as he stood up, his face flushed a deep red. "N-No y-y-you g-got it a-all w-wrong, I mean your son is attractive y-yes, b-but I didn't t-th-think of him l-like t-that! I h-haven't e-even thought of s-stuff l-like that s-since I'm s-s-so busy w-with s-school!" The more he talked the bigger the grin that widened on Tsunade's face, "Oh so my son's attractive to you huh?" The crimson deepened as the door opened behind him, Toshinori who was still recovering from what Tsunade said could only try and warn his newly appointed successor.

"W-Well I wouldn't c-call h-him u-unattractive." The muttered was heard by the person who walked in. "Oh? I didn't think you'd be here so quickly!" Izuku's heart sank to his stomach as he heard the voice, turning was a shirtless Naruto with damp hair. "Oh Naruto put your shirt on, honestly, we have guests." Tsunade scolded with a grin, she knew the blond had heard the others comment as the slight pitch raise of his voice and the smallest amount of pink on his cheeks made it pretty easy for her to tell.

"Who's this?" Naruto ignored his mother's request and looked at Toshinori who was still trying to recover for his Successor. "I'm, Midoriya-san's personal instructor." Izuku looked behind him as he was talking and instantly turned his head away, "Of course he's shirtless! After what we just talked about as well!" Izuku berated himself for being so stupid... "Personal instructor? Huh, and you don't own a dojo? I guess this is the only one for a few cities..." Naruto hummed at the thought as Toshinori nodded.

"Yes, So I just wanted to make sure to see if it was fine to bring him over, I still need to fully work out the new schedule but we have an area to lift some pretty heavy things, all we need is a place to do everything else." Everything else being Forms, stretches, and spars. Of course, the last one being impossible for Toshinori so he would have to be able to ask Naruto to spar with him.

"Well, as long as Midoriya-Kun behaves himself while he's here I don't mind." Tsunade hummed innocently as she walked into the kitchen and brought out bowls of ramen. "Yes! Ramen!" Naruto shouted and pulled out the seat next to Izuku only to be stopped by Tsunade, "Put a damn shirt on!" Naruto groaned as he ran back to the door he came out of while Izuku looked over towards the woman. "He must really enjoy ramen." Tsunade snorted. "Understatement of many worlds..."

TBC.
