My Hero Shippūden

Chapter 16

Naruto tackled the villain midair as the rasengan hit the villain square in the stomach. The yellow clad man yelped in pain as he spun through the air at a terrifying speed. He crashed in the trees, leaves and dirt sprouted up from the harsh collision.

  The group ran towards the area where the villain landed, fully prepared for a fight: but he wasn't there.

  "Your attack worried me there." A sing-song voice came from above, "But I won't allow you to hit me again."

  His yellow trench coat floated around him as he made his descent even farther away than before. Midoriya scowled, anger contorted the normally soft features on his face. Without warning, he leapt up and followed the villain in close pursuit.

  "Midoriya!" His classmates shouted in surprise at the sudden move.

  "Give them back!" He screamed, "Detroit smash!"

  The villain barely managed to dodge the attack, but was sent flying again by the air pressure surrounding the punch.

  My legs are fine but-!

  Midoriya groaned as pain shot through his broken arm. It was so dark purple it might as well be black and it flopped uselessly behind him. But seeing the villain land clumsily on the forest floor was proof that it was worth it.

  "Midoriya!" Naruto shouted, jumping up to catch the green haired hero.

  "Thanks Naruto." Midoriya spoke through his teeth, fighting the pain filling his body.

  The blonde nodded with a grin and landed next to the unconscious villain. Todoroki, Shoji and Sasuke arrived next to them not long after.

  "We need to find where he keeps those marbles from earlier." Todoroki spoke up as he kneeled down beside the villain.

  Sasuke nodded, "Pin him up against that tree, it'll be easier that way."

  "I assume you have experience?" Shoji spoke softly, as if speaking to himself.

  Sasuke said nothing, but Todoroki continued to search the body. Suddenly, his eyes went wide, "What-?!"

  He stepped back from the villain in shock as the body turned into mud and melted into the ground.

  "A clone?!" Naruto exclaimed.

  "Good try, I applaud your valiant efforts future heroes." The same silky voice came from behind the group.

  Now multiple villains were gathered in the small clearing of trees. The patchwork, the yellow trench coat, the lizardman and the magnet villains were gathered together. Although the latter two were barely standing.

  "And a word of advice," Mr. Compress pulled off his mask and stuck out his tongue, revealing two blue marbles, "If someone is showing something flashy, it's because he has something he doesn't want to reveal." His smile reached his ears as a purple portal formed behind them.

  Midoriya jumped out of Naruto's hold and began sprinting toward the villain group. Todoroki and Shoji followed suit.

  A black orb flew toward the magician-like villain seemingly out of nowhere and hit him square in the stomach. He coughed, spitting out the two marbles holding Bakugou and Tokoyami captive. Naruto grinned, five black orbs floating around his body.

  The trio of aspiring heroes ran towards the marbles with their arms outstretched, seemingly in slow motion. Midoriya yelped as he tripped over his injured feet. Shoji had better luck though as his hand wrapped around the marble holding Tokoyami.

  But just before Todorooki could grab the other marble, the patchwork villain gave him a twisted grin as his hand grabbed the marble first. The villain group pulled back into the portal, all of them with sinister smiles, knowing that they had won.

  With a shimmer, Tokoyami and Bakugou were released. But the only thing they could see was Bakugou's pained face as he was pulled into the portal.

  "Stay back...Deku." He rasped.

  Despite all of it happening in under a minute, the moment felt like hours. The forest returned to silence. The remaining group stood in a silent shock. Midoriya doubled over, tears running down his broken face. He let out a gut wrenching cry, whether it was out of pain or for Bakugou, the rest of the students felt the same.

  Bakugou was gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  When everyone managed to get together after the attack, it was no surprise that Team 7 was immediately put under suspicion.But after seeing how they fought to protect the students they were dismissed.

  Things seemed to slow for Midoriya though, everything didn't quite register for him. He was admitted into a hospital right away, luckily his limbs were not beyond saving. His arms were shattered, but nothing new. Several other students such as Yaoyorozu and some 1-B students were admitted into the hospital but none of them had severe injuries thanks to Naruto finding them first.

  3 villains were caught and identified as well. Muscular, Moonfish and Mustard were taken into custody. It was determined that this was another attack from the League of Villains.

  As for Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, they were kept secret from the press and labeled as a UA issue. They were given to Recovery Girl instead of a hospital to take care of their injuries to ensure their secrecy.

  "Oh dear! These injuries are awful, how long have you been keeping them untreated?!" She yelped, "It looks like you've been through your fair share of battles."

  Team 7 laid on the beds, getting a small scolding from the older woman. It worked surprisingly well on Naruto.

  Since he had his fair share of angry healers.

  While he hadn't gotten particularly close with Bakugou, Naruto was determined to help save him. Although he didn't even have to open his mouth for his teammates to know what he was going to say. Of course his idea was shot down, but there was plenty of doubt that he would listen.

  Sakura insisted she could help the other students with their injuries, but was told to stay put.after all she had injuries of her own, and stepping out of UA grounds could mean unwanted rumors and media interference.

  Sasuke, to put it simply, didn't give a flying shit. He had the same stance throughout all of this, avoid getting too close with this world's people and don't interfere with this world's problems.

  Sadly, thanks to a certain teammate, both of those rules were broken. Was he the only one that cared about defeating Kaguya? Was he the only one actually making sure they didn't overuse chakra? Despite his attitude, there were people he needed to save as well. He needed to reach his goal, he knew that Sakura and Naruto had goals too, so why are they acting so recklessly?!

  "Your name is Sasuke, right?" Recovery Girl spoke up.

    Sasuke turned to face the older woman, nodding his head slightly.

  She gave a sweet smile, "I was told about your situation. Don't worry too much about it dear, it'll be bad for your recovery." She chuckled, "The other heroes will help you, so try not to think of all of them as enemies."

  Sasuke was silent to this, he found it hard to do anything else but nod. While he didn't think that the heroes would take their word, somehow her words were reassuring.

  I shouldn't get into this world's problems, but this world is interesting.
