"Okay let's see, I've got the meat, rice, the stock, what's left? Bean sprouts huh, alright." I spoke to myself. It's been a few days since I had my fight with Katsuragi and became a student at Hanzo National Academy. Today was a day off so my mom said she would make Katsudon, my favorite, as a congratulations for making it into Hanzo. "You know, I haven't seen Kacchan in a while, I wonder what he's up too?" I questioned as I walked through the shopping district. 

"Hey Izuku!" I heard a voice call out. I turned to see that it was Asuka and she had Ikaruga with her. I waved to them, "Hey guys." I spoke as they came up to me. Asuka got directly in my face. "What are you up too?" She asked. W...Why does she have to be so close? "W...Well, I was here picking up a few things for my mom since she was going to make Katsudon tonight." I explained. "Well then, we could help you get what remains." Ikaruga offered. "Oh, well I only have one more thing to get and I'll be done but, the company would be nice though." I replied and we all began walking again.

"By the way Izuku, what made you want to be a Shinobi?" Asuka asked me. I can't tell them about One for All, otherwise that'll lead to them learning about the Yoma. "Well, when I was in middle school, I was attacked by these thugs, I was scared and alone, I didn't know what to do but, then like a guardian angel someone arrived and took them down. That man was my Master Shota Aizawa, he told me that he was a Shinobi and agreed to train me to fight, that was two years ago and I'm far stronger than I was back then." I lied to them. "Wow, it seems he really saved your life twice over." Ikaruga stated, "Yeah he did, and I'm really grateful to him, I really owe him a lot but, I have no idea where he is right now."

As we continued and obvious grumbling could be heard, it was coming from Asuka's stomach. "You hungry?" I asked. "Yeah, didn't eat breakfast this morning." She answered. "Ikaruga, how about you?" I asked and she nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'm getting hungry too so, what if the three of us grab something?" I offered. Asuka perked up, "Ooh, I have an idea, follow me." She began leading us around the district until we reached a small sushi shop that was empty, "Grandpa, I'm here for lunch!" Asuka yelled into the shop. A tall old man came from the back with a smile on his face at the sight of his Granddaughter.

 "Asuka!" He yelled back as the two embraced. I couldn't form words as I was in awe at this man. "Y...You, you're Hanzo, the legendary Shinobi and the one that Hanzo National Academy is named after. right?" I asked. "That's right my boy, you must be Shota's little pupil." He replied. "You know my Master?" "Not too personally but, I did work with him a number of times before I retired." He explained. I bowed before him, "S...Sir it's an honor to meet you, I've heard so much about you from my master and other Shinobi I've met." He laughed and stepped over to me. "Rise boy, this is my shop after all, I was a shinobi once but, now I'm the master of my sushi shop." He told me as he stepped behind the counter. "So what'll it be, you've put me in a good mood so it's on the house." He spoke. "Sir you don't need to do that." "Nonsense, it's the least I could do for a fan, my granddaughters classmate, and the ninth who has come quite a ways." He spoke. He knows about One for All. As though he could hear my thoughts he nodded to my expression and I sat down.

"So what'll it be?" He asked. "Uh, you can pick sir, I'm not very picky." I answered. "I'll have my usual Futomaki rolls." Asuka stated, "I'll take the same." Ikaruga added as he made the food fast as lightning. "Enjoy."He spoke as we all spoke, "Thank you for the food!" When I ate the first piece of the platter he gave me, I could tell that even though it was made quickly there was a ton of precision put in to it. The tuna roll was prepared perfectly, within there were pepper seeds to add a spicy kick to it where the mayo like topping on the roll gave a sweetness so the seeds weren't too much to take. "It's amazing sir! I could eat this everyday!" I exclaimed and continued to eat. "Glad to hear it boy." He replied

It was then that I would hear a voice that I didn't know if I would ever hear it again. "The hell does the price of Bean Sprouts even matter?" A male voice yelled. I recognized it, so much that I dropped the piece of sushi I had and it plopped down onto the plate. "Izuku what's wrong?" Ikaruga asked as I jumped from my seat and ran out the shop. "It's just never a good thing when it goes up Katsuki." A girl with blonde hair that fell to her down to her waist said, she was wearing a black and red school uniform. Next to her was a tall boy with ash blonde hair wearing a similar uniform but with pants instead of a skirt. "It's just ten more zeni though." I recognized that voice indeed, that face, that way of talking, it's him. "Kacchan!" I called out. He seemed to freeze then and slowly turned to face me.

We locked eyes and everything stood still in that moment

We locked eyes and everything stood still in that moment. It really was him. "D...Deku." He spoke. "Hm, Katsuki do you know him?" The girl asked. Asuka and Ikaruga both ran out of the shop after me. "Izuku what's wrong?" Asuka asked as she looked where I was. "Who are they?" She asked. "Kacchan." I spoke again as he looked angry, grabbed the girls hand, and ran off. "Kacchan!" I yelled out and took off after him. I ran throughout the district never losing sight of either of them. "Kacchan wait up, it's me Deku!" I yelled out but, it was futile. Without realizing it I activated One for All and used my enhanced speed to catch up to him. I got near and he used a nearby garbage can lid to swat me away. I got up and saw them run down an alleyway. "That's a dead end." I spoke and ran down. I heard an explosion in the alleyway. When the smoke cleared, Kacchan was gone and so was the girl. Not a trace remained of either of them. I fell to my knees out of breath and in complete shock. "K...Kacchan."

As I sat there Asuka and Ikaruga finally caught up to me. "Izuku, what was that, who were they?" She asked. "Someone who has every right to hate me." I answered as I stood up and walked back to the shop for my things. Kacchan, where did you go?
