Ninja to Hero

By SandewrPally

Chapter 6

A New Hero?!

Kurama looked around slowly with a scowl adorning his face. He had been having such a nice nap, which was needed more than ever since he had gotten a human body after Naruto's abrupt arrival to this world. Finally seeing his container he had to groan at his current host's condition. From what he could see he had been beaten to basically a self-preservation status, explaining why he had been awakened by the surge of chakra he had felt moments ago. No doubt Naruto would have possibly been dead had he not intercepted that last attack.

"What the hell? Who the hell are you?" Kurama turned to the male with hands? Yes those were disembodied hands strewn about him as if it was his uniform. "This day just keeps getting weirder…." The man muttered as he continued to scratch his neck.

Kurama made a point to ignore than man as he approached Naruto. Now that he had gotten closer he could tell the boy wouldn't be waking up until at least tonight. His thoughts were interrupted as a dark-haired man stepped in front of him defensively. Kurama tensed, thinking the red that peeked from inside the goggles was a sharigan, but noticed it was probably the man's quirk at work.

"Relax. I'm here to help, strange as that might sound." Stepping around the irate man he gripped what remained of Naruto's uniform before tossing said teen to the other three he had spotted in the water. "Catch!"

Hearing the startled shouts from behind him he called out as they caught the beat-up Naruto. "I suggest you get out of here for the meantime. It's my first time letting loose after all."

Aizawa merely sighed before nodding in agreement. The three teens plus one unconscious Naruto started making their way towards the entrance before the roar of the Nomu sounded out. Aizawa turned back to his students as the Nomu appeared as if from thin air with a punch pulled back in preparation for its attack. Before everyone's eyes Kurama appeared between the Nomu and the students with his own hand covered in what could only be described as an energy claw blocked the Nomu's attack. A literal shockwave erupted from the attacks throwing up dust and cracking the ground around them.

"You opponent is me…. Whatever you are." Kurama flippantly stated before forming another energy coating, only this time in the form of a fist. The Nomu shot back taking several trees with it as the students and Aizawa ogled the blatant display of power. Kurama looked back at the three teens, causing them to flinch back. "Well? Get going!"

"Right!" The three exclaimed before rushing past him. He kept watching them for a moment before he felt the other man arrive next to him.

"There had better be a good explanation after this is over." The man said as the scarves surrounding him seemed to have a life of their own. Kurama merely scoffed as red energy formed around his arms in the form of chains creating improvised gauntlets.

"That's cheating. First a kid that actually injures Nomu, then this other hero comes out right as he was going to be finished off. And we haven't even got to the final boss!" The blue haired man exclaimed seemingly exasperated. Kurama's eye's narrowed as bloodlust seemingly poured off of the man across from them. While nowhere near the bloodlust that he could project in his true form it was impressive.

"I'll take care of that 'Nomu'. You got the hands guy?"

"Yeah." Aizawa said before shooting off towards his opponent. Kurama himself smirked as chakra rushed through his new human body as he prepared for his own fight. He didn't have to wait long as the Nomu roared again before charging out of the trees.

"W-what the heck was all that?! A guy just came out of Naruto's stomach!" Mineta exclaimed as he helped carry Naruto's legs to prevent dragging them. Without knowing his condition they didn't want to risk furthering his injuries by partially dragging him.

"Maybe it has something to do with that weird tattoo on his stomach?" Tsuyu stated. Izuku and Mineta glanced and saw the rather intricate and archaic tattoo themselves. The boys noted that Naruto didn't have that when they were changing into their hero costumes. Before they could further scrutinize it loud bangs and shockwaves erupted behind them. Instead of focusing on the weird coincidences they hurried up the stairs where they came across the sight of about half of the class with an injured Thirteen in the middle of them. The warp villain was still there, though he had expanded the area of his body, more than likely to prevent anyone from escaping. "Deku! What happened to Naruto?!"

"He got beat up by that monster the villains brought!" Mineta exclaimed. Everyone gasped as they took in the state of their fellow classmate. "And then this weird guy came o-"

Before Mineta could continue Tsuyu put a hand over his mouth to prevent the details of the mysterious man's appearance from Naruto. Luckily Izuku picked up where the interrupted Mineta left off.

"Another pro hero in the area must have come and investigated. He fighting with Aizawa-sensei right now. Sero, can you use your tape to bind Naruto up? I'm not sure how bad his injuries are."

"Yeah sure." Sero said as he knelt next to Naruto. While Sero was helping Tsuyu attend to Naruto Izuku took stock of the situation. 'It looks like about half the class is still missing. Not to mention that the more powerful ones like ka-chan and Todoroki are gone as well. I just hope they are safe.'

Another loud boom sounded out behind them, marking another exchange between the Nomu and the mysterious man. From this distance the only obvious things that could be made out where the dust clouds and what seemed to be a mass of chains flying about.

"What the hell is going on down there? I've never seen a hero like that." Mina said as she and several glanced before turning their attention back to the villain blocking their exit out of here. Unbeknownst to the pro heroes in training Kurogiri was thinking over the situation at hand.

'With that one students escape it's only a matter of time before the other pro heroes stationed at the school arrive. While I was surprised the tailed one managed to put up a fight this other pro heroes must be the one currently facing Nomu.' With these thoughts in mind he decided being near his charge was the better option at the moment. He quickly warped away, much to the shock and relief of the students.

"Wait, he just left?!" Sato shouted as he relaxed from his tense posture. The question was on everyone's mind, though Izuku had a good idea as to where the warp villain had gone off to. While looking at the fight going on down the stairs he noticed that some of the villains that Aizawa had knocked out were coming to. With AIzawa and the mysterious hero occupied with the main villains there would be nothing to stop them from coming after them.

"Everyone get ready! The villains will be coming back!"

NtH

"Stay Down!" Kurama shouted as he managed to gut punch the creature once again. With his free hand he threw the various chains that made up his impromptu weapon and tried to restrain the Nomu. Only for the creature to tank the hit and throw him with his own bloody chains! Righting himself in midair he skidded along the ground before righting himself and recalling the chains back into the gauntlet.

'Physical attacks only work when I put chakra behind it, or whatever is keeping him from getting damaged is sealed by the adamantine chains Which means' Kurama started to fuel more chakra into the chains surrounding his fists, getting them to glow with a hellish orange and gold. The Nomu seemed to realize that Kurama was doing something different, something dangerous to itself. It also didn't help that Kurama had a somewhat bloodthirsty scowl on his face as he chuckled.

"First time I'm out of that damn seal and I get straight to fighting. Don't break down on me!" Kurama shouted before appearing right in front of the Nomu. Throwing both fists that they produced a whistle he landed them right where he assumed the monsters kidneys would be before ejecting all of the stored up chakra right as they impacted. Two beams of orange gold light shot out of the Nomu's back before he was rocketed away.

Kurama smiled despite the substantial amount of chakra he had unintentionally used in that attack. He had never needed to limit his chakra before, never mind having to contend with a human body and low chakra as well. The results were satisfactory as he saw the Nomu struggle to get up as two perfect circles had formed where he had hit. His smirk faded as they disappeared only seconds later as if nothing had ever happened. Along with that the creature stood up easily as if he hadn't been hit square in the kidneys by a bijuu/adamantite enhanced punch twice.

"Shit, you regenerate?! What bullshit is tha-" His ranting was cut off when he blocked the fist Nomu had thrown at his face before jumping back as another one made for his chest. While he doubted he would not be able to heal any injury with his bijuu chakra he would rather not end up like Naruto for the time being.

'Something tells me this creature was made to take down someone just as strong as it. Considering the way Naruto had looked before I intervened it's safe to say that only knocking it out and restraining it would work. Damn that red-haired witch!' Kurama thought as he rushed the Nomu. As if sensing his intent the Nomu rushed right in and a new exchange of blows occurred. With the wind whipping up a cloud of dust the only thing Kurama could see was the punches coming and going in-between him and the creature.

Therefore Kurama was surprised when instead of meeting his fist with it's own the creature caught it before pulling Kurama towards it. Before he attempt to break the hold he found himself eating dirt as he was slammed into the ground. Over and over until he was sure his face was permanently imprinted on the brick and dirt. Not letting the annoying creature have another free shot he willed the chains covering his arms to pop out his back before shooting off and restricting the Nomu right in its tracks. Whatever its quirk was he was confident the sealing chains of the Uzumaki clan would be able to at least limit it for him to knock him out. Getting up from the ground and dusting himself off he was about to issue a bijuu empowered sucker punch to the Nomu before having to jump back and retract his chains as a purple like mist seemingly warped in right where he had been standing.

'Dammit, it was bad enough that they have a freaking powerhouse at their disposal but if I was to guess someone that can transport themselves at will. Reminds me way too much of that damned Uchiha's ability to be anything else.' He waited for the mist to clear up before it formed two glowing eyes that just pissed Kurama of for some reason.

"I don't recognize you." The mist finally said. Kurama merely narrowed his eyes as the 'man' continued "Which means that you must be a new hero or-"

"Pfft! Me a hero?! You wish. I'm merely keeping a promise that I made." With that Kurama appeared behind him with a bundle of chains forming like a whip before he struck out at the mist. Seeing the chains only flow through it he wasn't surprised he had hit nothing. 'Yep. This guy is wat to similar to that bastard Uchiha for me to not want him dead, or at least beaten within an inch of his life.'

"Yet it still begs the question of where you came from. From my understanding there were no other people here, and someone of your power would have stood out." The mist said before the mist encased him. Kurama growled as the Nomu also disappeared, though he was still around and more than likely in the mist.

"Yeah well I like to make a good first impression." Kurama shot back as he tried to discern where the bastards where. "So how about you stop hiding or whatever it is your trying to do so I can beat that impression into you and your creature."

"Regardless." The mist drawled out as he positioned Nomu accordingly "You're in our way. Nomu!"

Kurama turned to where he felt the monsters emergence and threw his fist to match the Nomu's own attack. Only to miss as the attack disappeared and slam right into his side with bone-crushing force.

'Son of a bitch!' Kurama though before catching the fist and breaking its bones in the process of jumping away. The creature was merely pulled back into the mist leaving Kurama surrounded by mist once again. 'So instead of waiting for the Nomu to attack he's using his own power to basically pinpoint his attacks, no matter if they were going to hit or not.' Kurama groaned as his ribs regenerated from their crushed state. Taking a deep breath he closed his eyes as he focused on the chains he would need.

"As if I would let you do anything!" the man shouted as a warp appeared right behind Kurama's head. Ducking down he wasn't surprised to see the large fist and arm of the Nomu appear above him before jumping away when the warp/fist combo once again appeared this time on the side. Both fists retracted through the swirls giving Kurama a chance to catch his breath.

'Now!' Throwing his arms to the side chains shot out and pierced through the mists. Directing them through his will alone was definitely more strenuous then just brute-forcing them like he had been doing. Feeling the edge of the mist trough the chains he turned to direct them to encircle the whole area that the mist touched. 'Shit! Not fast enough!'

Just as he was connecting the chains together to form a circle another warp appeared on his side before the full force of Nomu's punch slammed into him once again. Only for another one to appear and slam right into his chest. The audible crack of bone was punctuated by the blood Kurama coughed up not a second later. Dismissing the pain as the wounds started to heal he completed the circle and tapped into the unique property of the adamantine sealing chains.

"Seal!" A pillar of green light encompassed the area the chains had touched. While incomplete the chains served their purpose as the mist retracted until the form of the mist combined into a man that was wearing a somewhat fancy suit, though his appendages and head were still in the mist shape. The Nomu on the other hand seemed to be unable to even move as the green light washed over him.

"W-What is this?! I can't use my quirk!" Kurogiri shouted as he stood up. The warp user could only stare at the man in front of him in shock as he approached them with a rather feral smirk. Not to mention the cracking of knucklebone only made the man more intimidating as well. "Now then, how about that first impression?" The panicking warp villain could only wonder how he was getting out of this situation before the annoyed voice of his charge pierced through the veil of his panic.

"Kurogiri. Get us out of here." Tomura stated as he gripped one of the chains and disintegrated it. Kurogiri looked at his charge only to realize that the young man had been through quite a fight if his rather scuffed up appearance and wrongly facing arm were any indication. The fact he wasn't being hounded by Eraserhead meant he must have somehow killed or injured him enough not to follow. Stepping out of the hole that had been made in the barrier Kurogiri once again formed into his shapeless mist as he covered them both. 'And the Nomu?"

"Leave it. Whatever the red-haired bastard did prevented you from warping, no telling what else it can do." Tomura stated. With that the two warped away, leaving Kurama and the Nomu alone. Before Kurama could exclaim in a string of curses a great crash sounded out from the entrance. As the impromptu sealing barrier fell apart he wrapped up the slowly recovering Nomu in more chains before dragging it along. He eventually came upon the black-haired teacher, who was in rough shape. It looked as though parts of his body had been disintegrated, though nothing other than the first layer or two was affected.

"Well, you've looked better." Kurama stated only to receive a poignant glare from the man. Huffing in exasperation he leaned down and picked up Aizawa by his good shoulder and started to make his way towards the rather long staircase where he figured the other students and pro heroes would be. What made the situation worse was that some of the villains that Aizawa had already knocked out where making their way up the stairs to no doubt attack the students that were still there. Both Kurama and Aizawa wouldn't be able to help considering Kurama was making sure the Nomu was restrained with copious amounts of adamantine chains and chakra. Aizawa wasn't in any shape to intervene wither due to his numerous injuries by way of the disintegration quirk, especially on the areas where his joints were.

Before either adult could think of a way to provide support to the heroes in training a great boom came from the doors leading into the USJ. Everyone seemed to stop as the dust cleared showing the impressive number one hero All Might with a scowl on his face as he took in the situation. Kurama imagined his teeth clenching audible when he saw the that Naruto was in as the pro hero kneeled next to his container. Taking the opportunity that this pause opened up he channeled a little chakra into his voice, making it project much louder than should be humanly possible.

"Listen up! I've already defeated your worthless boss and his 'creature. I suggest you surrender now!" Kurama's voice was made ever truer when he threw the restrained Nomu at his foot before making show of stepping on his defeated opponent. "Cause he won't be your only opponent!"

With the threat of the number one pro hero and a mysterious man able to take down their greatest weapon against said number one many of the villains surrendered on the spot, with All Might mopping up the rest. Leaving the number one pro to his job he climbed the stairs to arrive at the hopeful yet curious stares that the brat's classmates gave him. Giving Aizawa over to some of his students he heard the Nomu groaning before delivering a rather harsh stomp that cratered the ground. After making sure the thing was knocked out he turned his attention to the rest of the students.

"Woah! Are you a new pro hero?!"

"Wait are you one of the teachers?"

"Why haven't we seen you on campus?"

Before the multitude of questions could continue his attention was taken by the arrival of who he assumed to be the teachers and real pro heroes. He regarded the assortment of people as they themselves scrutinized that man that had a villain under his foot and restrained by chains coming from his own body.

"Protect the students. Midnight can you check on Mister Shiretoko?" Said a suited mouse before he approached him and Aizawa, who had risen with help from Sero's bandages. "Now I believe I and the rest of U.A. owe you a debt of gratitude, though I can't help but notice that you aren't a pro hero."

Kurama groaned, knowing this was day was going to be longer than he would have liked. Mabye one more kick in that stupid creatures face would make him feel better?

NtH

"You think Naruto and Izuku are going to be all right?" Uraraka stated, much to everyone's agreement.

"Not to mention Aizawa-sensei! It looked like someone cracked open the first layer of his skin!" Kaminari stated. While he had been in a life or death situation he was just happy to be out of there and that the rest of the class was mostly intact.

"Forget that! Did you see that new Pro Hero!? He took down that monster all by himself!" Mina shouted, getting everyone's attention. The mysterious hero had disappeared along with Naruto and several of the teaching staff including Midnight and Sniper. Luckily Iida was able to get the attention of the apparent head detective as the class turned towards them.

"Luckily the only major injuries were sustained by your teachers and Shiretoko-san, though from what I'm told his regeneration factor was already working on his injuries. Your other classmate merely had an injured hand, so we sent him along with Naruto and Aizawa."

The rest of the class breathed a sigh of relief at being informed that their teachers and classmates were all right. IT was Kyoko that suggested that instead of visiting him and possibly getting his condition worse that they all just leave some cards for him when they woke up.

"Multiple broken bones, severe internal bruising, and other rather severe injuries that would likely be much worse had his regeneration not kicked in. You saying that he fought against a creature designed to take out All Might?" Recovery Girl asked Izuku as he stood next to Naruto. The boy was more than worried for his friend as Naruto's normally tan visage was several shades paler than it usually was.

"Poor thing. Even after his body broke down he continued fighting." Recovery girl stated as she turned to her other patient Aizawa. While it would take some time to heal the rest of his injuries the teacher was at least conscious.

"So I was right." The erasure teacher stated much to the nurse's and Izuku's confusion. "Even some of the more defensive heroes would have been shaken up by that creatures attacks. The fact Shiretoko could stand after its first attack was nothing short of willpower and drive."

Izuku could only clench his fists as he recalled the short but intense fight between Naruto and the Nomu. Even with all his power from All Might In the form of One for All he couldn't help his friend when he needed it most. Remembering the other man that had appeared from what he could only guess was Naruto's archaic tattoo on his belly.

"Um, Mister Aizawa? Did you know who that other Pro hero was?"

The teacher looked at Naruto before closing his eyes in thought. When he opened them to look right into Midoriya's eyes he could see the worry he had towards his classmate. "It's compl-."

"Naruto-kun!" shouted out a female voice as the doors to the nurse's office slammed open. Standing there in the doorway was one Tomoko Shiretoko, better known as the pro hero Ragdoll. Dressed in casual work clothes she looked around the nurse's office before her eyes landed on Naruto. Izuku had a second to move away before he would have been blasted aside as Tomoko looked over Naruto, before being bonked in the head by Recovery Girl.

"I'll thank you to not agitate your son's injuries Miss Shiretoko."

Rubbing the bump that appeared on her head Tomoko sighed as she sat down next to Naruto by a chair Recovery Girl had provided. She had noticed her fellow pro hero Eraserhead and one of, at least she guessed, Naruto's classmates. She had only seen the numerous police and hero presences as she picked up some ingredients for dinner and thought nothing of it. Until she was contacted by U.A. letting her know that Naruto had somehow been involved. Needless to say she had rushed right over and let the rest of the team know what was going on and promised to inform them when she had more info.

"U-um hello Ragdoll-san. I'm Izuku Midoriya, one of Naruto's classmates. It's very nice to meet you!" Izuku introduced himself only to panic as he heard Ragdoll begin to giggle. After getting over his panic Izuku looked on as she took Naruto's hand and gently held it as she smiled. It reminded him of his own interactions with his mother. Though he did have to step back as Ragdoll the hero came out and looked to her fellow pro hero. Izuku could have sworn he saw the image of a tiger hovering behind her as she spoke.

"So who the heck decided they could injure my son?"

Aizawa sighed as he answered "As I was saying. It complicated."

NtH

"So uncomplicated it for us!" Exclaimed Vlad King as he and several of the more senior members of the staff sat facing Kurama, or Nine as he had introduced himself. Clad in a simple ensemble of sneakers, jeans and a white shirt Nine looked relaxed as could be if the scowl on his face wasn't there.

"Okay how many of you know that Naruto and by extension myself are form another dimension, reality whatever?" At the nods form everyone he continued "Back there I wasn't, well this." He motioned to himself. "My true form would be a towering nine-tailed fox that could probably obliterate the city with merely a whim. Obviously that isn't the case anymore." He finished getting some relieved sighs from everyone.

"Wait, you mean the tails and ears that Naruto sports are from you?" Present Mic stated.

"Yep. Turns out that using abilities that regard time and space can almost rip you apart if done improperly. It was only the link I share with the brat that he managed to survive the trip, though not without consequences. Pushing at least half my power into keeping him alive effectively gave him some of my abilities along with my features."

"While it is not exactly rare for animals to develop human like bodies with quirks, myself being an example, I'm still wondering how you came about Mister Nine. Rom the information you have given us and what Naruto has tried to explain you are more chakra than being."

Memories of two desperate parents begging for his help keeping their child alive, even after being the reason for his imprisonment, came to the forefront of his mind. The rest of the teachers and principals noticed his clenched fists before Nine let out a long sigh before answering. "It was a promise I made to his parents. Needless to say I'm here to make sure he doesn't go berserk with his newly acquired powers."

"How so? You make it seem like the current power that young Shiretoko can wield is but a fraction of his complete power?" All Might, now in his more skeletal form, asked. It was something the number one hero had been wondering ever since he had gotten a good look at Naruto's file and his fighting style.

"If I was to guess he can probably wield about half a tail of power before he becomes berserk. There's limiters placed on him by the seal that was my initial containment. Though one of the reason's he can't access that power is because he isn't trained to use that much power either. Much like that Izuku kid now that I think about it." Nine finished, not noticing or disregarding the flinch from All Might.

"What exactly would happen should he somehow break those limiters?" Cementoss asked for everyone.

Nine closed his eyes as he started to explain the most likely scenario. "More than likely the power would collapse in on him, obliterating him and a very large area around him into dust. There would be nothing left whether it be buildings, people, anything."

"So its important for him to get a handle on it."Sniper stated as he voiced the majority of the pro heros opinions. "So where does that leave you besides teaching the kid?"

Before Nine could offer a response Nezu interrupted as he pushed a document towards Nine "In that case I have a proposal for you, and should solve the problem of people questioning where you came from."

Kurama took the folder in question before going through the documents in it. All of it was what he assumed was the standard means of someone living in the country through documentation and such. It even had pro hero registration with some of it already filled out. Not unlike shinobi documentation if his memory from Mito and Kushina was any indication. What really got his attention was the U.A. teacher forms that were right after the Pro hero forms.

"Really? I mean I understand the pro hero stuff but what exactly will I be doing as a teacher?" Kurama decided then and there that he didn't like the gleam that the principal had as he started to explain.

NtH

Naruto slowly regained consciousness as the smell of disinfectant and medical bandages filled his nostrils. He slowly opened his eyes to be met with the sight of his mother the pro hero Ragdoll sleeping on his arm. So that explained the numbness he had been feeling. As he looked around he noticed that several well wishes cards were on the table next to him. Finally his awareness was at full strength he noticed the red-haired man standing across from him, staring unnervingly at him.

"Good, you're awake. We have some things to talk about." The red-haired man said.

"Um, do I know you?" Naruto asked as he attempted to get his arm out from under his mother. It must have changed over to the weekend since she was here, though he wasn't sure since he had blacked out.

"I would be surprised if you did. Though you may know me as the Kyuubi no Yoko." The man said and smirked at the shocked look he caused Naruto to have.

"B-but aren't you supposed to be like tall as a mountain or something?" Naruto said as he reached down to his now visible seal. He was surprised it hadn't gone away since it only really appeared when he was using chakra on purpose.

"I was. Until you decided to tamper with forces you had no possible way of understanding. Needless to say were stuck with each other, for better or worse. And I go by Nine for now." The now named Nine stated. Naruto looked at Nine skeptically before asking him a question only someone from his home universe would know.

"Where were we before we got transported here?"

"Really? The Land of Fire, Konoha. Now do you believe me?"

After getting over his dazed shock Naruto regarded the fox – well human- that sat on the bed across from him. "So what exactly do we need to talk about?"

"First off I believe you awake mother would want to hear this." Naruto looked down to find a pouting Tomoko sending a glare at Nine before sitting up, though she did keep a hold of his hand. "Good. Nice to meet the mother of this brat anyways."

"Hey!" Naruto exclaimed before muttering as Tomoko just giggled before they both faced Nine. "So what exactly do we need to talk about?"

Nine crossed his arms before starting "First off I want to know if you've felt yourself hitting a barrier of sorts when it comes to the amount of chakra you can pull out?"

"That's a rather pointed question don't you think? Tomoko said in response, but quieted down after noticing the rather worried look Naruto was now sporting. Tomoko and the rest of the team already knew about how Naruto felt like his chakra was blocked somehow, seeing as he couldn't spam more than several sets of one hit clones per day when he had first been able to spam hundreds. Not to mention the fact that despite all the chakra exercises they had come up with he hadn't been able to improve his chakra capacity by any measurable means.

"When we first came to this dimension I had to basically overload the function of the seal that prevented my chakra from going into you. This caused the seal to effectively change, even more so when your body absorbed some of my essence. It's the main reason you have nine tails and ears while your chakra is somewhat limited."

"So my seal has been limiting my chakra?! But why?" Naruto asked as he held a hand to his stomach where said seal was. From what he understood the seal was only supposed to contain the kyuubi, not limit his chakra in any way. Form what Nine said he had….. "Oh."

"What is it sochi?" Ragdoll asked when Naruto slumped in depression. It probably didn't help that Nine was laughing away as he realized Naruto had come to the same conclusion. Naruto went on to explain that since the seal was designed to contain Kyuubi and its chakra the fact that his chakra had somehow melded with Nine's chakra when he was saving him meant that the seal registered his own chakra as the kyuubi's.

"Though by how much I don't know." Naruto finished as Ragdoll gained a calculative look on her face as she digested the information. Only to be interrupted by the voice of Nine.

"At the present you can probably only channel a little over a few percent, most likely three or four depending on the situation. Your fight against Nomu had you hitting that limit quickly which is why I woke up from a rather pleasant nap." Needless to say the joke didn't sit well with Tomoko. As was evidenced by the fearsome glare he was receiving in turn. Raising his hands in surrender he continued. "Which is one of the reason's I'll be sticking around. I'm going to be training you in how to use my chakra to its fullest while teaching you how to unlock and lock the seal for everyday hero work."

Naruto clenched his hands as he remembered the feeling of weakness when he had been fighting the Nomu. He had run out of steam so fast that the only thing that had prevented him from getting killed was the timely intervention of Nine. He had to get stronger. That was the only way he could fight against foes like Nomu or whatever else these villains threw at him and his friends.

"Naruto." Both he and Nine looked at Tomoko as she raised her head and gave her son a loving smile that only a mother could. "I believe in you."

Naruto smiled as a new fire and determination filled his heart, before it was promptly shattered as Nine snickered at the, in his own words, cheesy words. Naruto only sighed as his mother and Nine devolved into an argument that later he couldn't recall if anyone asked him.

The Next Day

"Naruto!"

With everyone shouting at once Naruto flinched as his heightened hearing was blasted. It also didn't help that several of his fellow classmates decided to ambush him though he was pleasantly surprised that Tsuyu was the voice of reason as she noticed that he was still bandaged heavily. Though completely healed he was still quite tender where most of the damage had been. He was happy to see that everyone was unharmed though he could do without Mina poking him in the side where some of the heaviest bandages were. Gently guiding the curios girl away Naruto smiled as he saw the worry and care his friends had for him.

"Really I'm fine now. Just really tender from recovery Girl's healing." Naruto said as he waved his tails around for emphasis.

"Still though…" Izuku said as he "From what I understand it took Aizawa and that new pro hero to take down the main guy's right?"

"Oh yeah!" Mineta piped up getting everyone's attention "Who was that guy? For a pro hero he was kind of scary!"

"Uh well…." Naruto rubbed the back of his head to stall. He remembered Nine mentioning something about having an offer from the school, but didn't think much of it with all the other info that was presented to him at the time. Luckily, or unluckily if one was to see, Aizawa stood behind Naruto with a piercing glare. Everyone quickly took their seats at the silent order as their teacher made his way to the podium.

"Um, how are you today Mister Aizawa?" Denki asked. The teacher merely sighed as he scanned the room. It looked like everyone was alright for the most part. A little shaken up by their first experience with villains but that was to be expected.

"Recovery Girl does good work. Now then I have an announcement to make. Due to the incident at the USJ the other day the school decided to bring in an additional teacher for your hero courses. I would like to introduce- " Before Aizawa could finish the door leading into the classroom seemed to explode before it ricocheted off the adjacent wall. While eventful it was the swath of chains that seemed to writhe and move about as if they were snakes. It didn't help that the man they were attached to radiated intent to harm them. And was one of his eyes glowing red?!

"I'm here….." the chains receded back until only the man was left. While everyone was focused on him Naruto couldn't help but let out a sigh similar to Aizawa at that moment "To hurt you."

"Uh, don't you mean train us?" Asked one frightened Mineta.

"Nope." Needless to say that Nine would forever be remembered by class 1-A for his rather blunt introduction.

Sorry for the late update.
