Chapter 47 - Confession Time (1/2)

”You didn't attend the award ceremony to get your medal.”

Toshinori wanted to lecture Naruto about making more public appearances, as he passed Naruto his First Place medal. The second the tournament had ended, Naruto had went to him, and told him that he wanted to talk with him as soon as possible. With that, Naruto had left the stadium and went told Midnight that something important came up. First Place still went to Naruto, he just needed a proxy to take his medal for him until he could collect it. They were in Naruto's dorm room, and Toshinori blinked in surprise when he saw that Naruto's bed had been thrown out... and replaced by a large sleeping shark. The shark with multiple body parts that belonged to other animals, with it's back covered in bear fur to make a new form off bed for Naruto.

”This is Shark, I took him as a pet, and he's going to stay here to keep guard over my Hoshi no Tama for me. I've been in the process of training him not to attack people. Anyway, I wanted to talk with you about something important.” Naruto brushed off the comment about him not attending the ceremony. Naruto sat down on the floor and tossed his medal onto his desk, before he crossed his arms and leaned up against Shark. ”Did my mother ever have visions of the future... in dreams?” Naruto asked his uncle right away.

There was no need for him to beat around the bush.

”... To my knowledge, only visions about things that concerned her. Nobody ever believed her though, since her Quirk was a transformation type... are you telling me you've been seeing visions?” Toshinori asked in concern. If that was so, then that would not only validate what Kushina used to say when she had weird dreams, but it would also mean that there was more to Naruto's Quirk than either of them knew about. The original Nine-Tails Quirk had always been a mystery, and when it transformed into the Monster Fox Quirk, it was never known just how much of the Nine-Tails' Quirks power transferred into the new Quirk.

Naruto getting visions as dreams was a big deal if it was true, since it meant he could also manifest other abilities of the Nine-Tails Quirk in the future.

Naruto nodded.

”At least, I think... I've been seeing dreams of villains, and there is this little girl I keep seeing in my visions... her name is Eri. I need help... she needs to be saved... I really need your help. This is what she looks like-” Naruto had drawn several pictures of her. He had taken his time, to make sure and get all of her features down as exactly as he could. He included the scars on her arms, because it was important to show just how much abuse she was going through. ”-and there are almost no records of her, anywhere I looked. When I checked her family registry, it says she is living with a blood relative... but her father was a Yakuza boss. I think she's being used for her Quirk... but I don't have proof.” Naruto had already made time to do as much research on her as he could.

Her parents were gone, and she had no other real relatives. She was living, with what Naruto ȧssumed, to be her father's minions. If she was being this abused, then she must have a Quirk that they wanted to use her for.

...

”You really don't do anything halfway, do you.” Toshinori glanced at Naruto's desk, and he saw a multitude of documents there. Documents about Himiko Toga, who recently escaped from jail. Documents about the girl Eri, and even files on multiple other criminals who seemed to be unrelated to each other. He could tell that Naruto's dreams were really bothering him. ”Is there something else about your dream? You wouldn't be this worried if it was just that. Criminals can be taken down by heroes... What has you so worked up?” Toshinori asked with a frown.

It wasn't like Naruto to ever become worried about villains, unless the situation was truly horrifying.

”This girl, in my dream... that part isn't important. She needs to be saved. She's suffering, and nobody is helping her.” Naruto shook his head.

Toshinori looked at Naruto and nodded.

”Well, the tournament just ended, but Pro Heroes are already putting in applications to take you in for the internships. You winning the tournament and getting first place, without your Quirk, really impressed a lot of people... myself included. I'm proud of what you did today.” Toshinori took up his muscle form and gave Naruto a signature thumbs up.

Naruto grinned.

That made him happy.

-With Momo-

She was unhappy with what she had to do.

'I have to tell her the truth... she has the right to know.' Momo thought as she covered herself with a towel. She had been following after Mina, since the tournament ended and everyone started to go back to their dorm rooms. Mina had started to head towards the female baths though instead of the her dorm room, like she had originally thought the girl would do. The girl had been given 3rd place in the tournament, even though she only ever really fought once, and didn't get a chance to show off through any of the other events. Her fight against Naruto had been utterly one-sided, so it didn't really count as much of a fight. ”Ashido, Mina do you want me to wash your back for you?” Momo spoke up as she followed after Mina.

She recoiled a little when she saw Mina's absolute lack of shame or modesty, as she had her towel draped over her shoulder, instead of covering her body. In the girl's changing room or not, one didn't just strip down and not cover themselves. She understood Mina was comfortable with nudity, and didn't need the reason to hide her body around other girls, but not all other girls wanted to see her body.

”Oh, Yaomomo, sure, I guess. After throwing up, I just sort of felt like a bath, but you must have really worked up a sweat yourself.” Mina exclaimed as she put her arms back behind her head.

Momo looked at her body.

'... She's got a really nice figure, not extra fat on her. All muscle.' Momo thought, obviously not counting the fat on Mina's brėȧsts. Mina was just a couple of cup sizes smaller than she was, and that was saying something. She noticed that Mina's purplish pink body, really made it kind of hard to see any real flaws in her body. Since her skin color was dyed it's color by the acid running through her veins, her body didn't really scar or gain blemishes. Not to mention when she used her acid, the first thing to go would be the dead skin cells on her body. Meaning her skin was absolutely flawless, and remained tight. ”With your Quirk, your skin must be thicker, so you'll look younger longer-” Momo spoke out loud without meaning to.

Men had thicker skin, but thanks to Mina's Quirk, part of her Quirk Factor would be thicker skin, meaning that like a man, her skin would naturally stay wrinkle-free longer provided that she took care of herself. With her Acid Quirk, she was always giving herself better skin as well, by flushing all the bad stuff out.

Basically, Mina would never have to worry about acne or blemishes.

”Really? Never thought about that, cool.”

”You're not very shy about your body, are you?” Momo asked as they entered the showers to give their bodies a pre-wash before entering the bath. She got behind Mina and started to wash her back for her. She was right, Mina had extremely soft skin.
