Shikigami Dance: Naruto/BNHA Crossover

Successor

One Week Later...

It was still all over the news about the Hosu Incident.

The Nomu attack and the resulting damage and casualties shook the people of Japan to their core. Recordings of the Nomu attacks on the streets, the train line, and the destructive fires they caused covered every news story for days.

By a sheer miracle, there were no deaths from this attack, but twenty-three civilians were heavily injured while another forty-six suffered lesser hurts. Out of the heroes who were at the scene, three were hospitalized and most of the others required treatment following the battles with the Nomu.

Even so, news that the League of Villains was responsible, even when supported by some footage of Shigaraki and Kurogiri being identified on the scene, was overshadowed by the presence of the Hero Killer: Stain and his capture by four interning students.

Stain had killed seventeen heroes and crippled twenty-four past recovery during his reign of terror so it caused quite a buzz among the media that four unlicensed teens, first-year students no less, managed to accomplish what full-fledged pros had failed to do for months. It was at least believable considering that every student responsible was a finalist in UA's sports festival. Details of the fight were scarce since there was no security footage but the agreed upon story given to the media was that it was a combined effort.

There was a brief interview of the students released at the end of the week, but it was mostly just a show of presence as the questions were brief and mostly answered by Endeavor who was also given credit for the arrest as two of the students acted under his authority. The only questions the students really had to answer were their Hero Names and give a brief demonstration of their Quirks.

No one who watched in the interview knew how many retakes had to be made (Since Izuku and Todoroki had major problems adapting the former freezing up with nerves and the latter lacking any social sense) or the tension caused (Haru being asked about his connection with Stain, Iida being asked about possibly seeking out the Hero for revenge, and Todoroki about his rumored home life) when ambitious reporters tried to corner the students for extra info. They especially didn't know the amount of scolding those students received from their mentors or the hellish training Endeavor placed his interns under.

As far as the public could see, since the capture of the Hero Killer crime across the country had fallen almost exponentially. At least on the surface.

"You know, it's been hard finding people to do business with," a short overweight man with an eyepatch leaned back in his seat, "My buddies all complain about not being able to sell stuff. It's a real pain."

He looked up at the man sitting across from him who was lighting a cigarette with a tip of a pistol.

"That's because it's a serious crime to develop support costumes and items if you don't have a license," the dealer known as Giran took a whiff at his cigarette as it finally lit, "On top of that, there are rumors that legit support companies have actually been selling extra gear on the Black Market to people who aren't certified heroes."

Giran fondled the gun in his hand as the other dealer groaned and continued to complain, "Man, I miss the days before All Might. I was still small-time back then. Remember when villains were wild and impulsive? Everyone thought they could take over the world! It was a real good time," he slammed his glass on the table in frustration, "But when All Might show up everything changed and got so damn boring. Can't have any fun when that pillar of justice is still around. Maybe it's time for me to really call it quits."
