Naruto In My Hero Academia - Chapter 40
“This… not good for me…”
The Cavalry Battle, the Second Event of the Sports Festival.
The 42 students who had made it through the First Event would be paired into multiple groups of 4 (with two groups of 3 students, or 1 group of 2), based on their own decisions. The students could team up with anyone that they wanted to, and they form horses, for one person to ride on them and wear a headband. The headband would have a point total on it, and considering the places you placed in the first event. Those totals would be added up, and the rider would wear that total. The goal was to take the headbands of other students, and add their totals to your own.
Naruto’s point value… was 10,000,000.
Basically, nobody wanted to team up with him, purely because they wanted to target him and take his points.
“Hey Naruto, want to team up?”
“Hey Toru, sure… You want to be the rider?” Naruto didn’t think the girl would be able to support his body weight easily, unless the other person or people that joined them was pretty strong. Not to mention, if she stripped nȧkėd, then that put them at a pretty good advantage if she was the rider. Stealing other’s headbands, and making it harder for somebody to steal their own. He wasn’t sure how to ask her, naturally, but it wasn’t like anyone would see her nȧkėd.
“I’m surprised you haven’t teamed up with Kirishima or Mina, but sure, I’ll ride you!” Toru exclaimed brightly.
Naruto hummed.
Mina and Kirishima had been taken by somebody else before they could join up with him. Izuku wanted to face off against him, the same with most of the others he believed he could count on. Shoji had teamed up with Tsuyu and a boy from Class B, Mineta or something, which didn’t leave him with a bunch of people to go with. He was NOT about to team up with Class B, which didn’t leave him a lot to work with. Not to mention he had seen Mei around, and he didn’t want to team with her.
“Is there room open for one more?” The classy voice called to them.
“Yaomomo!” Toru welcomed Momo to their group with her nickname.
“Didn’t Todoroki try and recruit you?” Naruto asked as he looked over at Todoroki, and saw that he had switched out Momo for another person. He looked over at Naruto, and the two of them locked eyes. Naruto ignored him though and looked over at Izuku, and then at Bakugo who had Mina and Kirishima.
Momo smiled.
“We’re forbidden from being on a team together in class because it’s unfair, so being with you right now gives me the best chance of winning.” Momo stated, since all she would have to do is make sure the points Naruto added to the team were safe. They didn’t even need to go after other teams, they just needed to keep a firm hold on their own points for everything to work out well. “Hagakure, are you okay with being nȧkėd as the rider?” Momo asked it for Naruto, since she had her own ideas on what she wanted to do to make sure they won.
Naruto raised an eyebrow, curious.
-10 Minutes Later-
“This looks stupid, and it’s kind of embarrassing too.”
“This is the best possible formation.” Momo stated as she placed her hands at Naruto’s waist, standing behind him as she did. Toru was sitting buŧŧ nȧkėd on Naruto’s shoulders, so all of the strain of holding her would fall to him, since he was more than capable of handling it. If she just held onto Naruto in same way, their horse formation was considered complete, and she could have full access to her Quirk as well. She had unzipped her gym uniform so that her bra was visible, not really caring about such a minor level of exposure. With all of her stomach exposed, she would be able to use her Quirk a lot better than before.
The only thing that even made Toru visible was the fact she had 15 headbands wrapped around her forehead and neck, 14 of which were fake, and had the word “Fake” hidden on the inside of them. Momo had created a lot of copies of their group headband, so that they could drastically lower the chances of anyone being comfortable stealing it from them. Since nobody would know when Toru was reaching for their headband, and they had no clue of when they were reaching for the correct headband as well. Just approaching them alone was highly dangerous, with their “Naruto Tank” being they could ram into other horses with no fear, and their “Momo Support” allowing them to create items that could counteract almost any other Quirk.
“Why am I not wearing a shirt?” Naruto asked, since he too, wasn’t wearing a shirt. His Quirk wasn’t helped by him being nude like Momo and Toru, who could only really use their Quirks to their best ability while nearly nude or nȧkėd.
…
“Fanservice, I’m nȧkėd, and Yaomomo’s bȯȯbs cute bra is visible, so we have to balance it out for the girls in the audience! It’s only fair!” Toru shouted out as she beat him over the head playfully.
“Intimidation, you’re not a small person, so showing your muscles can be a form of intimidation.” Momo reasoned it a little better.
GO!
“You’re ours!”
Momo and Naruto jumped backwards as Toru stole the headband from one of the teams from Class B, and Momo put her right hand on her stomach, and she hid what she created. Tossed it to the ground in between them, Toru covered Naruto’s heads as he closed his eyes. A blinding light and resounding sound filled the immediate area around them, and Momo and Naruto escaped in the confusion. Opening his eyes, Naruto started to run towards one of the other teams that was nearby.
“Ah!”
They then ran by 2 more teams and did the same time, blinding and deafening them, before stealing their headbands in the blink of an eye and escaping. They didn’t stop running around either, as Naruto and Momo were athletic, and had the stamina to always stay moving around without fear of exhaustion.
“I’m coming for you Naruto!”
“Momo, Anti-Deku formation…” Toru shouted out her command when she saw Izuku on his three horse members running towards them. She was surprised Bakugo wasn’t after them right away, but then again, she looked where he was and saw that he was busy with another team. Momo on the other hand, got to work right away. She saw that Tokoyami, Ochaco, the support class girl were the horse. “He teamed up with Ochaco and Tokoyami liked you thought!”
Momo was their brains.
Forming High-Density Weights, she based them to Naruto, who tossed them in the direction of Izuku and his team. She formed several more flash grenades and tossed them after Naruto did. The second Tokoyami brought out Dark Shadow, the being was forced to retreat right back into Tokoyami. The weights started to attach themselves to Izuku, Tokoyami, and Mei when they hit, fastening much harder. Severely slowing them down to the point they were having trouble staying in formation, and they just kept adding more and more weight to the opposing team.
“Sorry Deku, no hard feelings…”
“I’ve got the weights everyone, I’ll make you weightless!” Ochaco shouted as she touched each of the members of her team. Instantly, instantly, the second she used her Quirk she came to regret it. Her face grew more and more pale, since she wasn’t wearing her suit to help deal with the nasty side effects of her Quirk, her limits were much lower… and the dense weights increasing everyone’s weights just made everything worse for them.
A small green glass ball broke in front of her, thrown by Momo, and suddenly a very foul smell made itself known to them.
“Don’t smell it-”
The Horse Formation was broken, and Izuku went falling with his team. Knocked out of the competition completely, with Toru stealing their headband on the way down. Passing by them, Naruto shared a glance with Izuku and nodded his head. Izuku frowned and looked down in shame, being knocked out of the competition completely, when he had declared to Naruto that he would face him head on.
“Good plan Yaomomo, and good muscle Naruto!” Toru shouted, since these plans were only able to work because of Momo’s brain being capable of such plans, and Naruto’s brawn being able to follow through on them. With her stealth ability making her able to steal headbands with ease, and all of their fake headbands, they were almost the perfect formation.
Momo smiled, and Naruto smirked.
“We’re-” Momo started.
“-Team-” Naruto continued.
“FANSERVICE!” Toru shouted out as she tried to complete the team name. Naruto and Momo looked at her like she was an idiot, since that was not the team name they had agreed on.
-In the Stands-
“What a frightening combination…” Toshinori shivered when he thought about how terrible it would be in Momo and Naruto ever turned villain together. Thankfully, there were no chances of that ever happening. Momo’s ability to plan for most things, and Naruto’s ability to take control over nearly any situation, combined with their excellent teamwork and the way the covered each other’s weaknesses was just terrifying to think of going against. This was exactly the reason why they weren’t allowed to fight against the other students on a team.
They wouldn’t grow as students if they just defeated their fellow students with ease, and the other students would grow after being easily defeated, but in this official competition, there was nothing stopping Naruto and Momo from teaming up.
“He’s yet to reveal his Quirk, but the efficiency those three are showing makes me wonder how they could be marketed. Surely, their stock will rise as heroes.”
‘Some things never chance… the Business Course dropped out, and now they’re running simulations over how to market the other students.’ Toshinori knew that the Business Course was vital to the growth of heroes in the business sense.
-Back with Naruto/Momo/Toru-
“Bwahahahahaha!”
“She’s getting way too into this…” Momo looked up at Toru as she stole yet another headband and added it to their vastly growing collection of them. They, as a team, were able to make almost every horse formation fall to the ground after grabbing their headbands, and had taken out most of the other teams. As it stood, only 5 teams including themselves, were still standing on the field.
Team Naruto, Team Bakugo, Team Todoroki, Team Monoma, and Team Tsuyu.
Team Bakugo will still, still, fighting against Team Monoma, so they weren’t a threat. Team Tsuyu were using Shoji’s tentacles to hide the small people inside from being visible, so they were safe from most people at the moment. Team Todoroki were standing by, watching everything happen, with a few extra headbands of their own.
‘… If we approach them… we might be eliminated… damnit…’ Todoroki thought as he looked at Naruto and Momo, the two key parts of the team.
“I think we’re done collecting headbands right now, lets retreat back. Only a few minutes left.” Momo pointed out to Naruto, whispering it into his ear. Naruto frowned and looked at the rest of the competition, before he nodded his head. Creating a smoke bomb, Momo let it fall to the ground and explode, cover them in a large amount of smoke. Several flash grenades were thrown out of the smoke, blinding anyone who was looking in their direction, and the smoke started to spread as Momo created more smoke bombs.
They had secured themselves in first place, so now it was best to retreat in a way nobody could come after them, with blinding lights and massive amounts of smoke.
“Hah! Got it back you bastards! Now, I’m taking out Fox-Face!” Bakugo got his headband, and Team Monoma’s headband, and secured it around his neck. He looked across the field, and saw a massive amount of smoke filling half of the field itself. “Fine, then that Icy-Hot bastard!” Bakugo got ready to run towards Todoroki’s team.
The buzzer sounded.
The 2nd Event was over.
