Chapter 52 - A Very Busy Day (1/2)

Hah! This area now belonged to the Volcano Thieves, if any of you so much as call a pro hero, we'll kill all of these hostages!”

A massive man shouted out as he hoisted a large bag of money over his shoulder with one hand. He possessed a massive, muscular build to him, with flaming red hair that flowed all over his head. He wore a fully body dark blue bodysuit, and he had rock-based gloves and boots, with his right arm having a massive stone gauntlet on it. Smoke was being released from his stone shoulder pads, and he had a mask over his lower face.

With the recent death of a pro hero, Kamui Woods, they had gotten the dėsɨrė to finally act in the light, instead of keeping their actions to the shadows, stealing only small time objects.

Volcano, the Leader.

”Clear a path.” The second man of the group stated, a much shorter, very skinny many with giant fan-like fans stated, his head shaped like a hairdryer. He had black tights on, that cut off at his shins and forearms. He had a bag of money too in one hand, and his other hand pointed towards the crowd and started to spin. A large tornado shot from his hand and the crowd parted, or else risk getting hit by the attack.

Gust Boy.

Finally, a woman without money in her arms, wielding a small blunt weapon, showed a hostage that she was keeping in front of her. She was a tall, attractive woman, with wild white hair, and narrow grey eyes. She had a similar mask around her neck to her boss, and goggles over her eyes, her body being very on display in a massively revealing costume. She had small amounts of ash coming off of her free arm, and she started to throw it into the crowd, forcing them to close or avert their eyes to avoid getting ash in them.

Dusty Ash.

'Shit... where are the pro heroes right now?' A police officer thought as he rubbed the ash from his eyes.

Volcano shot lava out of his gauntlet, and the cleared path was now outlined by lava, preventing anyone from getting in their way. Dusty Ash slammed her weapon into the back of the hostage's head, knocking him out cold.

”Lets make an escape.” She spoke to the leader, who nodded.

Best to get out of here while they had the money.

”GAH!”

”Gust Boy?” Volcano questioned when he heard the sounds of his underling shouting in pain. He and Dusty Ash both turned to face the wind-based Quirk user, before they saw him lying in a crater, defeated and knocked out. All he saw, was a quick flash or orange move right by his right side, going underneath his outstretched arm.

”Bwuah!?” Dusty Ash felt a punch hit her in the gut as her vision was filled with orange. She was sent flying, and she saw a large fox with an outstretched arm, before the fox balled up his fist again and punched her before she got too far away. She was slammed into the side of the building, her own body keeping her pinned as she too was knocked out cold. Volcano turned around when he heard her shout, before he saw he was face to face with a large fox as well, with burning red eyes glaring into his own.

...

”Hi, I'm All Right, are you?” Naruto spoke as he waved a hand in a friendly manner. Naruto started to raise both of his fists into the air, before he slammed them onto the top of Volcano's head, knocking him to the ground in a crater of his own. Naruto clapped his hands together, before he dusted himself off, since the air had a good amount of dust in it still. ”So, are you?” Naruto repeated the question once more for added effect.

”No.” Volcano managed to weakly say, before his body went limp, and he passed out.

Volcano Thieves, swiftly defeated.

”Aaaaah, it's Fox-Man, and he's wearing a costume!”

”Fox-Man, you saved my cousin, you're awesome!”

”Can we get an interview!?”

”All Right, you went off without me. It is extremely rude to leave me behind, while you're my intern.” The large dragon, Ryukyu, spoke as she descended from above. When she was close to the ground, she turned back to normal and landed on her feet. The second she had explained that they would be doing hero work today, and for the entire week of his internship, Naruto had grabbed the costume she asked him to wear, put it on, and he rushed into action. In retrospect, she should have seen it coming that he would be this eager. She looked up at his much taller form, in his over 7 foot form, it was like standing in front of freaking All Might himself.

Naruto waved to the crowd awkwardly.

He was doing legal hero work, under the authorization of a pro hero, and their watchful eye. For once, he didn't have a reason to flee the scene of a crime the second he was finished with the villains.

”All Right, I thought your name was Fox-Man, are you paying tribute to the hero All Might? Intern, does this mean that All Right-san is a student of a hero school?” One of the reporters managed to slip by the crowd and pushed forward.

The police started the process of collecting the villains, and taking pictures of the damages to the concrete and the small damage to the building. They would document everything that happened as quickly as possible, so the bank could be reopened as soon as it could be. While that happened, the reporters who usually showed up once a villain attacked, would be able to swarm the hero who saved the day with whatever questions or so they wanted to.

”I never once said my name was Fox-Man.” Naruto deadpanned, but he forced himself to maintain a friendly smile.

Always smile, always smile, was his Uncle's most important lesson.
