Normal pov

"Hey Uraraka, are you alright?"

"Yep! Man Bakugou was so strong, I didn't stand a chance against him."

"Well you did kept him on his toes, you were awesome."

Sakura smiled as Izuku nod his head in agreement, and that made Uraraka happy to hear it. Just then her phone rang, and it was their cue to leave her in private. As they walked down the hall, Sakura decided to accompany him where he should go. Sakura knew that Izuku was nervous, but he was also a bit excited to show off.

"Hey Izuku, I've been meaning to tell you."

"Yeah?"

"Your quirk, you're not using it right."

"... Yeah I know, I still have some difficulty with it since it's still sorta knew to me."

"... You're a late bloomer."

"Yeah, people used to make fun of me because they thought that I would never..."

Izuku frowned as a memory flashed, making Sakura looked at him in worry, but said nothing. She knows what he's trying to say, and it made her said and wonder what had happened to him in the past. She doesn't want to imagine what hell he had went through, and decided to comfort him.

"... You know, I used to have a friend who was quirkless. Her name was Isaribi. She was an outcast, never wanted by anyone. But one day something terrible happened ."

"... What happened to her?"

"She... got kidnapped by a guy named Orochimaru. He usually kidnaps people like Isaribi, and do experiments on them."

"W-what? What experiments?"

"I don't know, she got cured at the end by my grandmother, Tsunade Senju, but I haven't seen her in years."

Izuku looked at her in shock as Sakura had a pain look on her face, but didn't want to bud in. As they neared the entrance, someone unexpected waited for them, making Sakura glare and Izuku jump in surprise.

"E-endeavor!?"

"What do you want?"

...

Sakura watched as Todoroki and Izuku's match started, dodging and blocking each one's attack. She still couldn't believe that Endeavor dared telling them what to do, and she actually cursed. She smirked at the look on his face when she called him a villain disguised as a hero, she almost burst out laughing after that. That's when she decided to give Izuku a good luck hug before walking, after giving Endeavor a hateful and disgusted glare. Just then her thought were interrupted when Izuku yelled.

"IT'S YOUR!! YOUR QUIRK NOT HIS!!"

Sakura blinked in surprise, but then smiled when she saw that something inside Todoroki snapped, but in a good way. That's when she yelled that caught almost everyone's attention.

"TODOROKI!! REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE YOUR OWN PERSON. SHOW EVERYONE WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF AND BE THE HERO YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO BE!! NOT WHAT FATHER WANT, NOT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE WANTS, BUT WHAT YOU WANT!! YOU CAN DO IT!!"

That made Todoroki's eyes winded, and just then his left side begin flare up, and then fire surround him. Everyone's eyes winded in shock at the sight, but Sakura aww'd and beamed at the sight.

"I've never seen so much fire power from him, Sakura you did! Your words strucked him."

"It wasn't just mine, it was Izu-chan's words that also struck him... man I think I'm spending too much time with Naruto."

A few of them either chuckled, giggled, smiled or grinned at her displeased expression before it morphed into a smile of happiness. Just then her and Todoroki's eyes met, and Sakura gave a proud look and nod her head, showing him that it's okay to let go. Todoroki could feel it, the warm feeling of making everyone proud of him and smiled determinedly before he focused on Izuku. Both of them powered up their full strength, and lashed out for each other. The blast was used the minute Izuku and Todoroki's powered up hand connected, making everyone shield their face from the impact.

...

"Holy shit! What power!"

Kakashi stared in shock at the scene, he never saw such power from teenagers, it was such a disbelieving sight. Naruto beamed after he had gotten over his shock, he even whoop and cheered. Sai only gaped as well did Yamato, they were speechless what had just the two opponent caused. Basically everyone was beyond shocked to see this, even the Akatsuki. The wind of the blast finally calmed down before it disappeared, and the whole arena was covered in dust. It took awhile, but the dust finally cleared and saw Todoroki was still standing, half of his shirt is gone and was breathing heavily. Izuku was out of bounds and againt the wall, he looked very beaten up, and had fell unconscious to the ground.

"MIDORIYA IS OUT OF BOUNDS, TODOROKI IS THE WINNER!!"

"... Poor kid."

...

"Is he going to be alright?"

"Yeah, Recovery Girl said he's going to need a operation. After that he'll be as good as new."

Sakura sighed in relief, and smiled just as Todoroki came and sat next to her, surprising her and a few students. She then grinned and patted him on the back before ruffling his head.

"I knew you could do it, you just had to let go. How do you feel?"

"I feel... refreshed. Thank you Haruno."

"Please, call me Sakura."

"... Then call me Shoto then."

Sakura smiled before nodding her head, and turned towards the arena where Kaminari and Iida was about to begin. They were curious who would win this round, and a few started betting. Todoroki didn't concentrated on the battle, he only focused on Sakura who was unaware of his staring, none of Class 1-A noticed, except one, Bakugou. He could see how Todoroki's eyes soften and had a smile on his face every time Sakura cheered, smiled or giggled. Bakugou couldn't help it but smirked when one thing came to his mind.

' Icy hot has a crush on Srawhag, how cute.'

"KAMINARI IS OUT COLD!! IIDA'S THE WINNER!!"

"YEAH!! GO IIDA!!"

Todoroki shook his head and looked back at the arena, staying quiet as a few medics carried Kaminari out of the arena. Iida looked a bit beaten up, but he was still walking and bowing before leaving the arena. Sakura then decided to stand up and leave, before giving Kirishima a playful grin.

"See you at the arena, Eji-chan~!"

...

Sasuke glared as Sakura stepped up the arena as well as Kirishima, seeing the playful grin that appeared on her face. He admits that she had changed a lot, but he still disliked her deeply. He really doesn't know what Obito sees in her, but he's going to prove them right that she is weak and doesn't deserve the title of a hero. Sasuke smirked, thinking of so many ways to make her look weak once she arrives at the Akatsuki, if she's going. Itachi must've saw him smirk, and guessed that he's planning on making Sakura look weak and a mistake. Itachi glared at his little brother before he sneered at him, catching every Akatsuki's attention.

"Sasuke, don't you dare think about it."

"Don't think about wha-"

"Don't play dumb, I know what you're thinking. I will not let that happen."

Obito looked confused as he saw the displeased look on Itachi's face and a frown on Sasuke's, but then he had an idea why. Sasuke is going to try to make her look weak, and he didn't like it one bit.

"Sasuke, if you're thinking about harming the girl or humiliate her, you're going to have a punishment of your life time."

"But I didn't-"

"Enough, I don't want to hear it. You won't go anywhere near her until I say so."

Sasuke's eyes winded in disbelief as Obito turned towards the arena just in time to see Sakura's match begin. She only side stepped as Kirishima tried to land a hit on her, making him a bit frustrated. This went on for 3 minutes, and Obito could see that Sakura was getting bored, so she caught Kirishima's fist before grabbing his arm and used her strength to throw him out of the ring.

"KIRISHIMA IS OUT OF BOUNDS!! HARUNO IS THE WINNER!!"

The next round was Bakugou and Tokoyami, but this battle didn't last long, because Bakugou had figured out that Dark Shadow's weakness is light. Tokoyami was forced to quit since he had a huge disadvantage against the hot tempered explosive boy. Deidara was cheering a lot, saying out loud that explosion is a bang, and it made most of the Akatsuki face palm at him.

' I need to remind myself why I saved his butt from landing in jail. Why do I even bother?'

Obito sighed in frustration, but then he began to think of the battles that's going to happen. Todoroki will fight against Iida, and Sakura against Bakugou. Though he was more curiose what's going to happen between Sakura and Bakugou. Obito hoped that their battle will be worth watching.
