Next Day
G.O.H Arena, Musutafu, Japan
All throughout the world everyone was tuned into their tv's, cellphones, tablets or whatever device they had to watch today's tournament, "So sorry to keep you all waiting." The announcer said standing in a large fighting ring surrounded by a reinforced gate capable of taking All Might's punch
The audience in attendance cheered loudly
"The only thing on the line is your pride. The only thing you can trust is your fists. We now begin the God of Highschool Japan preliminaries!" The announcer yelled
The participants all walked onto the stage, Naruto looked up to the crowd and saw Momo, Ochako, Mina, Jiro, Tsu, and Rei in attendance causing him to smile,He found new friends and he would protect them and avenge his parents while becoming the best hero the world over has ever seen
"Here in this arena we've gathered brave martial artists. Directly recruited by the tournament administrators. This is an all styles martial Arts tournament where all schools and practice are allowed. Furthermore, there is no limits to Quirks, or weapons used. The only way to win is to knock out your opponent or get them to surrender. Regional preliminaries are currently in progress to decide our participants for the tournament in one months time."
Naruto blinked when the announcer wrapped an arm on his shoulder and pointed to the bracelet all participants were provided with, "We will be monitoring all contestants vitals using these bracelets."
Naruto looked at his,
Level 10
Health Points 780
God Power 250
Quirk Zero
The announcer eyes leered at Naruto's god power as he explained, "Nano machines injected into them when they entered the arena, will allow us to monitor their physical status in real time, and heal any injury immediately, so don't hold back and give it everything you got! Will that due for an explanation? Good we now ask you to begin the fight, right now without your quirks."
Meanwhile
Bakugo had headphones on to drown out his parents arguing, as he watched the tournament the arena was filled with cameras and some were fixated on certain contestants, he was fully focused on Naruto
"A last man standing match, huh?" Katsuki asked himself eating some chips
Arena
The fighters were all standing around before they focused on 2 of the contestants, "Quit lookin at me!"
"Same to you!"
"I never liked your face!"
"What was that? Couldn't hear you!" The participant looked down at the bracelet and saw his level was lower then his and quickly attacked
Denki leaned back from a contestant trying to attack him and nailed him with a punch to the torso and twisted his body to and slammed his elbow into the contestants head causing him to drop before Denki ducked as a bow staff almost struck his neck and lunged forward and slammed his forearm into the contestants ribs and punched the man in the jaw knocking him unconscious
Eijiro was smirking as he bobbed and weaved before he punched his opponent twice in the torso and KOed him with a right hook before he kicked the ground lightly and slammed his head into another contestant's face as he tried to run up on him from behind and as the man stumbled back with a broken nose Eijiro knocked him out with a spinning backfist
Naruto took a deep breath, and smiled as he was rushed by a lot of the contestants, "Lets get the pretty boy!"
Naruto leaned away from a knife swing and kicked a contestant in the torso and while the man was in midair gasping for breath, Naruto with a roundhouse kicked him in the back sending into a wall unconscious
Naruto turned and blocked a punch aimed for the back of his head and head caught the contestants arm held it up and elbowed him in the lung before pushing the unconscious man away to land on his back
Turning to another contestant, Naruto grabbed his wrist of the punching man and kicked him in the jaw before a 2 piece jab to the ribs knocked the man out
Naruto raced forward and with a jumping 360 he kicked a punching contestant in the head, another contestant behind Naruto punched at his spine but Naruto spun around and kicked him in the neck before a back kick to another contestant's torso sent him flying back
Racing to two contestants that were hesitant to press forward he jumped and kicked both of them in the head before another contestant ran up on him while he was landing and Naruto kicked him in the chin,
A contestant with a bat tried to take Naruto's head off but he ducked and spun around a hook from another contestant who he kicked on the ribs and jumped before spinning around and kicking him in the jaw
The bat wielding contestant tried another swing but Naruto kicked through the bat breaking it to splinters, before he punched the contestant and the man went airborne with Naruto following kicked him in the torso and spun again before he kicked the man in the face sending him flying and slamming into the gate that blocked the stands
Landing Naruto cracked his neck and looked to Eijiro and Denki the three shared a smirk before they noticed a light at the tunnel turn on
"Oh, seems like we have a late arrival."
A man appeared wearing a straitjacket before with a smirk he charged forward, amd began to defeat those in his way with well placed kicks before Naruto was next on his list and quickly Naruto raised his knee and slammed his elbow down on the ankle heading for his torso
Eijiro punched the man in the jaw as Denki knees him in the back
The man went flying and knocked out a contestant he collided with but sat up grinning at them and as he got up favoring his still working ankle, and the 3 UA students were ready, but the announcer stopped them, "That's enough. The numbers have dwindled enough for this stage. Those of you still conscious proceed to the next round."
The spectators cheered loudly
Todoroki Household
Shoto and his siblings watched the tournament, "Seems little Naru has grown stronger." Fuyumi smiled watching with everyone and they gasped as they saw their mother smiling happily in the crowd
Natsuo's eyes watered as he smiled softly, "She looks so happy." He said
Shoto's eyes watered before he left or tried to as Natsuo froze over the door, "Sit down, Shoto.' Fuyumi said
"We are going to watch the tournament." Natsuo said looking at his little brother
Shoto looked at his brother and frowned before he sat down
Arena
Naruto sipped some water, as he and the participants for the next round stood at the ready, "Hello again everyone. Whoever makes it to the end of today's tournament, will proceed to fight in the National God of High School tournament."
"Our first contestant practitioner of the Maelstrom fist fighting style, Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto bowed respectfully as the crowd cheered having seen what he did during the Battle Royale
"Next a practitioner of Denkijutsu, Denki Kaminari!"
"Next, Eijiro Kaminari, practitioner of Full Contact Karate!"
"Next, Tanktop Tiger, practitioner of Tanktop Fighting style."
"Next up, Voltage, of the Fist of Thunder style!"
"Our latecomer, Bazuzu, master of Bazuzu's Taekwondo!"
The announcer continued to announce the contestants as Naruto looked up to see Kigiri in attendance and he smirked as his sensei dragged a thumb across his throat to tell him to show no mercy
The participants withdrawn to the waiting room to watch the match and rest and prepare for their own, Denki and Voltage went up first and with the announcement that quirks were allowed Voltage tried to shock Denki but the younger teen absorbed the electricity and knocked his opponent out,
"Our second bout, Naruto Vs. Tanktop Tiger, is about to begin!"
Tiger smirked at Naruto, "I'll crush him!" He thought as Naruto stretched and smirked
"Show me what you got?" Naruto said
Tiger growled looking at Naruto's bracelet and smirked when he saw a zero where his quirk was to be listed, "Quirkless!" He thought in glee
"Begin!"
Tiger immediately punched the ground causing it to crack, knocking Naruto off balance, before Tiger exploded forward with his arms in a X before he slammed into Naruto who was now twiling in midair
With a flip Naruto landed on his feet, "Pretty quick for a big guy." Naruto smirked and turned around to see Tiger's fist before it slammed into his face and as his momentum was transferred into his arm that swung around and struck Tiger's chin, causing blood to fly from his mouth
Pain racked Tiger as his vision went in and out of focus before in a flash 30 blows to Tiger's torso knocking him off his feet before a punch to the face sent him flying out of the ring and into the stands unconscious
Naruto smirked as he put his hands in his pockets and walked off as the 10 count finished
Kigiri smirked, as he looked at his tablet that had a close up of the fight, allowing him to notice things about his student, "He used the momentum he gained from Tiger's punch to increase the power of his own punch, impressive. Seems you have developed quite the style, wonder how you and the Bat would do against each other." Kigiri looked to Naruto's retreating form as he was tempted to call upon his other student in Gotham,
Next match, Eijiro vs Suiryu
Suiryu started the match off and he charged forward and began to flip his way into a tuck and roll for a double axe kick but Kirishima hardened his fist and slammed it into Suiryu's jaw instantly knocking him unconscious sending Suiryu rolling to the edge of the ring
Eijiro smirked and watched as Suiryu struggled to get up, "He used the pain of hitting the ground to wake himself up. Cool." He thought
"Bastard." Suiryu growled glaring at Eijiro before he rushed forward and Kirishima leaned back from a high kick aimed at his face and dodged back from a sweep kick and he leaned back from a overhanded punch before his left came and he connected with an uppercut, stunning Suiryu before a right hook knocked him out
Eijiro was announced the winner.
Eijiro walked into the locker room and joined Naruto and Denki, "Nice, you didn't even use your Quirk or give him time to use his own.' Naruto said
"Thanks." Eijiro replied sitting down
"That was American boxing, right?" Denki asked getting a nod
"Yeah. My dad was a street fighter. He suffered an injury because he thought using his quirk he could tank anything. He didn't want me to follow the same trend so even before I awoke my quirk he trained me as a fighter to take hits and learn to not just be a brawler like he was." Eijiro smirked holding up his fist, "With this power I worked hard for I will win this tournament and become a great hero before reuniting my family."
'Your family?" Naruto asked
"The Kirishima family has always had the Hardening quirk and the Steel quirk. A family feud a longtime ago devided us, with Hardening those who possess the quirk can continue to harden their body to extreme levels while those with the Steel quirk can only become as hard as Steel. I want to just be able to laugh and enjoy my time with all of my family. I don't care what power they have."
"What kind of pro are you trying to be?" Naruto asked
"A shield for people who cant protect themselves.' Eijiro said slamming his fist into his chest, "What about you?"
"I want to be a hero, that when people look at me they know everything will be okay. A symbol of protection against evil." Naruto smiled before he looked to Denki
"A guiding light in the darkness." Denki said as sparks of electricity appeared off his body, "When it comes to heroes names like Superman, Batman, and Captain America a majority of American heroes are always the first to be named. All Might is a Symbol of Peace for Japan true but he is still not really respected outside of our country. I want to show that Japan isn't weak and it has heroes that can be trusted with the safety of our own country."
Naruto nodded as while All Might was ranked number 1 in Japan, he barely ranked in the top 20 on the international hero list even though he was stronger and more charismatic than most of the heroes on the list. A run in with Superman and Batman who demanded him to tell his secrets affected his reputation in America. Which was very lacking as their Government couldn't even decide what to do about Metahumans or mutants as they called them, and with nothing to stop them they ran free and unrestricted.
Naruto idly wondered if either of Batman and Superman's sidekicks would join, Robin was still a brat and Superboy was half human and a teenager of High School age, Naruto would love to beat their faces into the dirt. Robin was quirkless but Superboy wasn't either way wouldn't matter to him,
"And we are now down to our last 4." The boys looked up to see Bazuzu was victorious and Naruto blinked seeing that he was supposed to fight him next,
Eijiro and Denki smirked at each other, "Word of advice, don't reveal everything you are capable of. This is still being broadcast and you never know who's watching."
The two nodded before they were ordered to the stage as Bazuzu walked up to Naruto and smirked down at him, "I'm going to crush you."
Naruto smirked, "it'll be over in seconds.' He replied
Bazuzu growled seeing his inability to intimidate Naruto
Eijiro Kirishima vs Denki Kaminari
Denki and Kirishima smirked at each other as they stood across from each other before quickly Kirishima hardened his skin as he punched Denki whose eyes glowed with electricity and orbs of electricity were around his fists
Denki withstood the pain and saw his blow had no effect and jumped back before he and Kirishima rushed each other again
Kirishima with a jab that was parried and he leaned back slapping away Denki's right cross ignoring the electricity that leapt from his arm onto his skin
Denki turned and tried to slam an elbow into Eijiro's jaw that connected but had no affect and he leaned away to barely dodge an uppercut before they began to cancel each others blows out
Ducking and jumping back Denki dodged a hook and jumped before he kicked Eijiro 4 times before he leg was grabbed at but he flipped away and blitzed forward
Kirishima punched forward but was surprised when Denki speared him and the two roll across the floor before Eijiro kicked Kaminari off him
Landing on his feet Kaminari turned and ducked a hook before he slammed his elbow into Eijiro's face but a knee to the ribs took him off the ground and Kirishima punched him in the back sending him to the ground
Denki spun up and sent a round house at Eijiro who blocked it but Denki had jumped and kicked him in the face causing Eijiro's head to snap back causing him to grunt before he caught Denki's ankle and tossed him into the corner of the ring
Naruto watched intently, "With every blow he land's, Kaminari is increasing the intensity of his lightning. He's cutting into Kirishima's shield." He thought watching as they rushed each other again
Denki missed a jab and leaned away from Kirishima's before he jumped with a reverse roundhouse kick that Kirishima leaned away from before he elbowed Kirishima in the chest causing Kirishima to fall on his back
Kirishima rolled out of the way as Denki punched down at him and his arm tore through the ring like it was wet paper, and he raised a hand to catch Kirishima's kick but his instincts told him otherwise so he leaned back and fell on his back before rolling to his feet but a blow to the torso robbed him of breath as his eyes clouded over as he was sent rocketing into the corner of the ring
Kaminari gritted his teeth as he saw Eijiro rush him and quickly he appeared and kicked him in the chin but Eijiro tanked the blow and punched Kaminari in the chin and grabbed his leg and with a spin launched Kaminari far as he could sending him out the ring and into the wall
Denki looked up and clutched his ribs as he wanted to continue but wouldn't make it back to the ring in time so he lost by ring out
Later
Naruto stood across from Bazuzu smirking after the announcer announced them, he watched as the man removed his arm restraints, "I'm going to rip your heart from your chest." Bazuzu smirked as Naruto sighed closing his eyes as he scratched the back of his head before Bazuzu rushed him and punched toward his face with his arms taking on a dark tint
Naruto with his eyes still closed dodged to the right before he punched forward over Bazuzu's jab and cleanly struck Bazuzu's chin with a right
Bazuzu's eyes went unfocused as his brain rattled in his skull, before a left uppercut sent Bazuzu on his way crumbling to the ground before a left roundhouse
The devastating combo ended the fight under a minute causing everyone to look shocked as Naruto smirked
Kagiri folded his hands over his mouth, "So you've learned to use your body freely without it being slowed down by your mind. You've mastered your Ultra Instinct." He thought as he had watched Naruto do the combo with his eyes closed the entire time
Later
Naruto and Kirishima stood across from each other smirking, "Begin!"
Quickly the two clashed with their forearms slamming into each other before pushing each other back, Kirishima flipped and rushed Naruto who skidded back and met his charge
Naruto dodged Kirishima's left jab, knee, spinning elbow and pushed at his face but his arm was grabbed and a judo flip caused him to grunt as he landed on his back before Kirishima tried to punch him but Naruto kicked his feet up and gripped Eijiro's arm before he slammed him into the ground and applied pressure with an arm bar
Kirishima was unaffected and rolled over to punch Naruto who kicked his bicep and kept his leg extended to keep Kirishima from punching him but he gasped as Kiroshima grabbed his shirt and lifted him up
Before he could be slammed into the ground Naruto kicked his feet and did a handstand on Kirishima's head as he maneuvered his body to land behind his classmate and kicked him in the back
Kirishima flew to the corner of the ring and Naruto sped forward as Kirishima turned to him but Naruto dove and caught the ropes of the ring and spun around the corner and came around with a knee that slammed into Kirishima's gut causing Kirishima to kill over as Naruto with another spin grabbed Kirishima's hair and an orb of water appeared and caught Kirishima in his water prison
Kirishima held his breath and began to punch the prison but it held strong until Kirishima stopped and began to pass out as he couldnt hold his breath any longer and Naruto released the prison before he was announced the winner
Kirishima panted while looking up at Naruto who smirked at him, "Damn your good."
"Like I said. We can't show everything." Naruto said helping Kirishima to his feet before Kirishima held his arm up and the fans cheered,
A man in the shadows watched, "So this is all Musutafu has to offer. Boring." He smirked
