Chapter 77 - Heroes Across Time Part5 (1/2)

Not good.

”Eri-chan... stay behind me...” Recovery Girl stated as she hid the girl behind her, not that she could do anything in a fight. Eri's powers of Reverse would make her a great healer one day, so while taking care of the girl while Naruto was in class, she wanted to talk with the girl about pursuing a career one day in medical hero work. It would be a great use of her powers, and it would help her get control of them possibly. Now though, bringing a child to a training exercise couldn't have been worse. They were in the middle of a wide open area, but neither of them were anywhere near fast enough to get to the school building. All she could do was offer her own body as a shield to protect this innocent child.

”M'kay.”

Students had stopped their training, looking towards the dirt that had been stirred up into the air, alarms were going off through out the entire school. After the USJ incident, the school had learned from their past security weakness though. Blast shields and barriers started to drop across the windows and doors of the school, providing the non-hero students inside as much protection as possible.

They were the lucky ones.

When the dust settled, every student who laid eyes on the two beings that walked onto the grounds froze.

”That... that's the same type of monster that Naruto beat...” Izuku spoke when he laid eyes on the monster that nearly killed Naruto in one of their first lessons, but in the end was killed by Naruto. This monster though, this Nomu, it was bigger... it was visibly stronger. As it walked forward, soaking in the sunlight, he could see that it was pure white in body now, similar shaped. It seemed stronger, not just in stature, but the presence it had was unreal.

Fear.

It was pure fear that kept the students frozen, this was like standing in front of a 100 foot tall tiger, a monster that you didn't need it to speak in order to know just how screwed you were. Bakugo, Todoroki, not even the oh-so confident Kirishima were able to do more than shake as they looked towards impending doom as it took only a single step towards them. Momo collapsed to her knees, holding her mouth with both hands to try not to throw up, and though she was invisible, you could see the puddle that appeared on the ground where Toru collapsed and lost control over her bladder. Those were normal reactions, because, this wasn't a Fight or Flight response from them... because they couldn't fight, and running away was impossible. That was the feeling in the air.

”Na... Naruto?” Mina asked when she saw Naruto walking next to the monster.

Naruto... but with longer hair, and wearing a suit.

”... That isn't Naruto... we need to run.” Ojiro stated, his tail trembling.

He couldn't run either.

”Nomu... kill the healer.” Menma stated as with a cold, analytical tone once more, his eyes showing not an ounce of emotion. In response to his words, Nomu raised his hand up and a bone spear erupted out of the palm of his hand. Nomu pointed his hand at Recovery Girl, and just like that, the bone vanished from his palm. There was a shrill whistle, before the bone was lodged in the middle of her ċhėst. Recovery Girl was only able to look down at the spear going through her heart, before she collapsed and revealed Eri behind her, shivering on her knees in terror.

Recovery Girl's body started to turn into dust and vanish.

”Recovery Girl!”

”Everyone, you need to snap out of it and run away!”

Naruto and All Might crashed between them, standing between the class and the duo of villains facing them. Naruto had already transformed into his 2-tailed form, fists raised up, while All Might looked at Menma with eyes that were hardened. Recovery Girl being killed wasn't good, and it happened before they could even register what was going on. Naruto looked into his younger brother's eyes once, just once, before he turned his eyes away and looked at the real threat that killed the beloved healing hero. None of the students were able to move.

”They won't be able to do that, you see, Nomu here has a Quirk that causes those around him to feel unbearable fear. It takes far more willpower than what a student has to be able to overcome this fear... Nomu... kill All Might, but leave Naruto alive... he has to suffer.” Menma's words showed no love, nothing but pure disdain and hate for his blood. Naruto took a deep breath, but accepted the hate, and just raised his fists up.

Silence.

”Naruto, take a massive size, and get the students to safety.” All Might gave out an order.

Naruto ignored it.

”This Nomu is stronger than the last one... and the last one was as strong as you are... you don't have a lot longer until your time limit is up. Right now, the safest place for them is right here, being protected by us... so lets do this.” Naruto raised his fists up... and he shrank in size, down to his single tailed form. He had taken those punches from the other Nomu first-hand.

This wasn't a fight his uncle would win alone.

All Might took a deep breath, as did Naruto, and then in unison the two of them placed the widest grins on their faces.

”Hey, younger me, why don't you take a step back, and allow me to take the fighting from here? That Nomu was created via a guy we were sent to the past with... this is our issue.”

Landing on the ground in front of Naruto... was All Right himself, his own future self. Scruffy chin from a lack of shaving, more muscle, and general more experience. Menma's face changed when he saw his future elder brother, before becoming neutral.

”Where is All Better?” Naruto asked his future self.

”She's on her way... there isn't helping Recovery Girl now... but we won't let a single one of you die... right All Might?” All Right spoke with a grin, a twinkle in his eye too.

”Right!”

”... Kill my future brother too.” Menma's words were colder than ice.

”Come and try it... One for All: 100%... and lets add in a little Monster Fox to the equation. This isn't an opponent we can take lightly after all.” All Right spoke as he flexed his body, and powerful waves of power rolled off his form. His body transformed into his 1 tailed form, and his fur gained a slight yellow tips to it.

The battle started.

{Music: Naruto Shippuden OST 3 - The Power of Naruto Uzumaki}

The first shockwave appeared.

Then the second shockwave appeared, followed by close to 100 hundred more quick shockwaves as All Might and All Right rushed Nomu and started to lay hits into him. Nomu, as a show of power, was not only completely unaffected by the attacks, but was also to even throw his own punches and block the punches that were thrown at him.

”Well now, aren't you a tough one!” All Might shouted as blood flew from his mouth, a grin still on his face as he traded blows to the cheek with Nomu.

Nomu was sent flying with a kick from All Right.

”Looks like he can reverse the flow of power, he absorbs enemies strength and throws it back at them... some form of shock repulsion then!” All Right chased down Nomu as the creature landed on his feet, and the two of them started to trade blows once more. All Might joining in as craters appeared under their feet, the more they attacked, the more craters that appeared all around them.

Naruto was forced to use his own body to shield the other students from the fast approaching shockwaves.

'So... it seems this incomplete Nomu won't be enough... even with the Quirk Amplifier.' Menma thought as he watched the battle, unmoving as he sat down on a large chunk of the destroyed wall. His only reaction was his hair being blown back every time fists or feet collided. ”Nomu, use more Quirks... use that Impact Recoil you have. Start using Prediction too.” Menma ordered when he noticed that Nomu was just using pure strength.

So many Quirks, all for nothing when the beast using them had no intelligence behind it's attacks. Truly, a fighter that had to be commanded in order to be made full use of.

*Snap*

”1,000 Raging Maelstroms of Smash.” All Right snapped his fingers, and blue fires started to pour out of his body and float in the air, taking the forms of spiralling flame fists. 1,000 flaming fists started to rain down on Nomu from all directions, but Nomu started to glow white as he started to dodge each and every flame, not a single one getting close to him.

”What's going on!”

”Eraserhead, Present Mic... don't try and interfere... start taking students and getting them to safety, these foes aren't interested in the students... they're interested in us!” All Might called out as he danced through the flames, chasing down Nomu as the glowing Nomu started to dodge his punches as well. Eraserhead glared at Nomu, activating his Quirk.

”Don't ȧssume that I forgot you were a teacher here... that should take care of your silly Quirk for now... it will be a couple hours before you have a Quirk.” Menma, holding a gun, spoke harshly. Quirk Erasing Bullet prototypes, thanks to a certain failure of a yakuza, he now had a way to get around Eraserhead's pesky Quirk for awhile. It was too bad the bullets were just prototypes, and not permanent yet.

All Right and All Might continued to clash, and their fists hit each other when Nomu jumped up, dodging both of them.

He kicked both of them in the head, sending them flying, but they didn't go flying long. With a shockwave powered kick, All Might changed directions and went flying back at Nomu. All Right chose a different path though, instead he faded away from existence as if he turned invisible.

”One for All and Illusion powers... you've inherited a lot, haven't you Naruto... well then, I can't afford to look old and feeble now, can I!” All Might roared when he felt a foot on his shoulder, and Nomu in front of him was sent flying by an invisible punch.

All Right had used illusions to make himself invisible.
