My Hero Shippūden

Chapter 10

Night had finally fallen, almost everyone was asleep as Jirou slid through the door and made her escape. She had planned everything, all she could do now was pray that everything went as planned.

She crept past the buildings that surrounded the main area of the camp, past where her teachers and friends slept. Jirou made sure not to make any noise whatsoever. She couldn't take any risks, she needed answers.

Meanwhile, Team 7 were huddled in the small building talking about potential escape plans. So far, anything they came up with only led to a dead end. With every failed plan they came up with was another pang of despair. Although Naruto refused to give up, he kept encouraging his teammates no matter what. He refused to lose hope, he couldn't break the promises he made to everybody. Naruto simply refused to allow that to happen, even in their current situation.

"What are the chances Kaguya comes to us first?" Sakura spoke up.

Sasuke leaned against the wall, his arms crossed as he gazed blankly to the center of the small room. "About 75% right now. But I've noticed something odd about this world, I'm sure you've noticed too." Sasuke paused, looking at Naruto and Sakura's faces, "It's been nearly 3 days and our chakra has barely recovered at all."

Team 7 looked at each other in silence, a dim light came from a singular lightbulb. Sasuke stared at the ground, shadows falling over his eyes. "Time runs differently here, our world runs much slower. I don't think it's even been 5 minutes in our world."

Naruto jumped up, "So you mean that Kakashi-sensei is fine then?"

Sasuke nodded slowly, "It's only a theory, but there's a good chance."

Sakura breathed out a sigh of relief. For the first time in what felt like years, she smiled to herself. Naruto grinned, cheering loudly, "That means we still have time!"

Sasuke frowned, "But we still don't have a solid plan to get home."  A cold silence fell over the team as the words left his mouth. Sasuke's frown etched deeper into his face, "Our only chance may be to wait until Kaguya comes to us. But even then..."

  "We don't know how long it will be until then." Sakura finished.

"Exactly, until we find a way to get home, we can't make any reckless moves and waste chakra. We'll have to play by this world's rules for a lot longer than planned."

Naruto grimaced, he slammed his fist against the wall, "Damnit!" He screamed.

Midoriya clung to a tree near the building Team 7 was currently occupying. He jumped slightly as he heard a loud thud emanating from the small structure.

All he wanted to do was get answers, he wanted to know why the pros decided to help them so suddenly. He wanted to know who they were, why they were here, their quirks, everything. Something big had to be going on if the pros took it upon themselves to help the people that attacked them only a few days ago.

Just as Midoriya was about to make his move, he spotted a dark figure moving swiftly out o f the corner of his eye. He hid his body behind the trunk of the tree again. The figure was smaller and moved quickly to the small building. The green haired boy observed the figure carefully, his eyes widened upon recognizing the figure.

  Jirou?! 

What's she doing here?!

Midoriya's mind ran through the possibilities of why she could be here. But the answer was simple, just like him, she wanted answers as well.

Jirou ran quickly through the small clearing leading to the building where Team 7 was. She stood in front of the door with a knot forming in her stomach. Behind that door was the potential that all her questions would be answered, but did she want those answers even if it came with a huge risk?
