Chapter 4: Interlude 1
Hall of Fame
When everyone left the theater and went directly to the hall of fame, where they saw the new portraits on both sides. In the section of heroes and allies were the following portraits:
Naruto- The unpredictable ninja
Iruka- The strict but fair sensei
Hiruzen Sarutobi- Third Hokage
Konohamaru Sarutobi- The Hokage's grandson
When they looked at Naruto's portrait, not even the villains couldn't hide the sympathy they felt for him, until now Naruto was someone very similar to them, discriminated against and rejected by society for something that wasn't his fault, he was very different from both the heroes of their world like the ones they had seen in the MCU.
"A young man who wants to be accepted by his village, that's Naruto" All Might said, feeling sad for not being able to help Naruto
"I am convinced that Naruto is going to achieve his dream, it won't be easy, but if he doesn't give up, he will achieve it" Said Midoriya, who firmly believes in Naruto and his dream, in a way it reminds him a bit of himself.
"He's basically a Deku idiot version" Said Bakugo who Naruto reminds him too much of Deku although he's much less smart.
When they looked at Iruka's portrait, they couldn't help admiring it, because even though he lost his parents during the nine-tailed fox's attack, he didn't hate or resent Naruto, but was kind to him and supported him in his dream. of being Hokage.
Of the Hokage, well they didn't know what to think since they didn't see much of his abilities but he is the kage (the highest rank in the ninja world) in addition to falling for Naruto's perverted techniques, but they hope to see more of him in the future. They also wanted to see more of Konohamaru and his relationship with Naruto in future episodes.
Meanwhile Midoriya notes in his notebook the name of the Hokage since it was not mentioned in the chapters.
After this everyone looked at the portraits in the villains and allies section:
Mizuki- Manipulative Sensei
Ebisu- The Closet Pervert
"These villains are really disappointing" Shigaraki said, to which the other villains nodded in agreement, since they didn't like the villains of these episodes.
"Well, this is just the beginning Shigaraki, you will see villains in this world that are really interesting" Felicity said.
"I hope so" Shigaraki replied.
"Though I'm a bit surprised that this guy is in this section," Tokage said, pointing to Ebisu's portrait.
"At first I wasn't sure if I should put it in this section or not, but I finally decided to put it here since it was the antagonist of the episode" Felicity replied, to which the rest of the audience nodded in agreement. "Well, I have to go find our new guest, when I'm done we'll see each other at the theater" After this she disappeared.
The others were wondering who would be the new guest, but they are also excited to meet someone from the world of Naruto.
Museum
In the museum there was now a new section dedicated to Naruto, the music of the credits also played. At the entrance to this new section there was a statue of Naruto with his leaf headband, smiling, new objects were also added to the glass containers, a Konoha ninja outfit, the Hokage outfit, shurikens, kunais and headbands of the sheet. The students couldn't help but be surprised, as Naruto was quite unlike anything they had seen in the MCU.
"I can't wait to see more of him," Shinso said, as Naruto reminded him a bit of himself.
"And what do you say, I would also like to see more of his abilities, I want to train with him to see how strong he is" Said Kirishima.
"Could you go to the danger room and fight him?" Sero said.
"Maybe later, for now I want to play in the arcade," Kirishima replied. "Do you want to come too, Bakubro?"
"Pff, okay" I accept Bakugo.
There were also statues of the nine-tailed fox, and of Ebisu surrounded by the sexy clones.
"I'm really glad that the fox doesn't exist in our world" Awase said, a little scared to see the fox statue "I don't know if it could be defeated by the heroes of our world" To which the rest nodded in agreement.
"But this is without a doubt the best technique I've ever seen" Mineta said, drooling at the sight of the sexy clones, which caused the rest to look at him in disgust and Jiro to hit him with her Earphone Jack.
"And what do you think about the music Kyoka?" Ashido asked, trying to change the subject.
"Not bad, it's better than many I've heard in the MCU" Jiro replied.
Then everyone turned their attention to the 4 monitors that showed clips of the most memorable scenes of the chapters, the nine-tailed fox, the Fourth Hokage vs the nine-tailed fox, the clones of Naruto vs Mizuki and Naruto vs Ebisu.
"That was really AMAZING!" Said Tetsutetsu as he watched the fourth Hokage's fight against the nine-tailed fox. "Though I wonder why the Fourth Hokage didn't have a portrait in the hall of fame, he obviously deserved it."
"Probably because we haven't seen enough of him yet, maybe he'll be inducted into the hall of fame later." Shishida said, to which the rest nodded in agreement.
"Now that I think about it, the Fourth Hokage looks a bit like Naruto" Shinso said, to which the rest were surprised to notice this fact. "I wonder if they are related"
"Well I guess we'll find out, as the story progresses" Hagakure replied.
"Bah, the best scene is without a doubt this one." Mineta said, pointing to the fight between Ebisu and Naruto, prompting Jiro to hit him once more with her Earphone Jack.
Game Room
In the games room they could notice that there was a new section dedicated to Naruto, one of the new games was "shuriken throwing" which consisted of throwing shurikens at moving targets to earn points. Added a new simulator game in AmuSphere called "Naruto Simulator" and a "Naruto: Mortal Kombat" where there were 4 characters: Naruto, Iruka, Mizuki and Ebisu.
"I'm going to beat you sh**tty hair" Bakugo said after choosing Naruto as his character, he may think that Naruto is an idiot Deku, but he recognizes that he is strong.
"Yes, whatever you say Bakubro, well if you choose Naruto I'll choose Iruka I guess"
Kirishima said.
After choosing their characters, the stage selection appeared, for the moment the only ones available were: The forest, Konoha, The Hokage Rock and the academy.
Bakugo chose the forest as he thinks he can gain some advantage there.
"Very good! Let us begin!" Kirishima said.
"You're going to lose, spiky hair!" Bakugo yelled.
"We'll see Bakubro" Kirishima replied.
Award Room
New prizes were added to the prize room such as action figures of Naruto characters (for now only of the characters that also have a portrait in the hall of fame and some extra ninjas), trading cards, water cans, t-shirts, the jacket from Naruto, blade vests, blade headbands and toy versions of shurikens and kunais.
Sato, Awase, Tsuntori, Sero, Rin, Fukidashi, and Kamikiri decided to play the minigames in order to win some of the prizes.
Living Room
Subsequently, the students met in the living room to discuss this new universe that they had contemplated.
"So, what do you think about this story?" asked Uraraka
"Well... I really don't know what to say, I haven't seen much of this world yet, but what we've seen so far has been... interesting" Yaoyorozu answered. "I understand what you mean" Said Midoriya "This world is not at all like what I imagined, a world of ninjas in which there are people with abilities similar to Quirks with the difference that they can learn them thanks to the Chakra that what we have been able to see is a form of energy that they can manipulate to perform jutsus, and what we have been able to see so far is just the tip of the iceberg, I want to see more about these ninjas and their abilities!"
"Not to mention the existence of giant animals, like the fox and the toad that the Fourth Hokage rode" Yanagi said, trembling slightly as she remembered the fox.
The students trembled as they remembered the fox, and the fact that it is sealed in Naruto, since this is an extremely dangerous creature, Koda even wonders if his Quirk would work against the fox.
"But on the other hand I would like to find out more about the Fourth Hokage and about the giant ribbit toad" Asui said, very interested in this fact.
"Above all I'm very interested in Naruto, he reminded me a bit of myself, just like me Naruto was rejected and wants to be accepted by people" Shinso said since he remembers how they made fun of his Quirk for being "a villain" and decided to become a hero to try that they were wrong, somewhat similar to what happens to Naruto.
Several students nodded in agreement as they can relate to Naruto and understand him.
"Even the villains like me" Uraraka said
"That must be because they can also identify with Naruto, they are marginalized like him, but the difference is that despite all the rejection that Naruto suffered, he did not resent or hate the people of Konoha, he wants to be accepted by them and that's why he wants to be Hokage." Midoriya said.
The students silently thought about the reasons why the villains don't hate Naruto, wondering if the villains had gone through something similar to Naruto. As Toga and Twice watched the students from afar, they left shortly after hearing their opinions on why they didn't hate Naruto.
"Now that I think about it, Naruto looks a bit like you, Jammin-Yay, physically and in that he's not very smart" Jiro said a little jokingly and a little seriously
"Yes, of course, and you look like the girl who blushed when she saw him, but only physically, in attitude, both are different" Kaminari said in response.
"Pff, shut up" Jiro replied back, blushing at the embarrassment of being compared to Hinata again.
"AWW! I think those two make a really cute couple" Hagakure said excited at the thought of them and wishing she could see more of them.
"As are you two," Ashido said, causing both Jiro and Kaminari to blush in embarrassment.
Cafeteria
Meanwhile the heroes had a meeting in the Cafeteria (which Hawks decided not to attend considering it boring and unnecessary) while Nezu went to the therapist once more, Amajiki ate a Hawaiian pizza, Mirio and Eri tried the ramen that Lunch Rush had prepared. The heroes were quite surprised by the story they had just seen as it was nothing like anything they had seen before.
"Well, this story has been... interesting." Said Thirteen.
"And that you say it! That sexy jutsu technique has been so much fun, I really want to try something like that!" Midnight laughed, much to Aizawa's chagrin.
"Bringing that subject up" Cementoss said, also somewhat annoyed when he remembered the sexy jutsu. "Although we haven't been able to see much of this world until now, we do know that the ninjas of this world have abilities, some of which are similar to our Quirks except that they can learn them, through training and an energy called Chakra, which 12-year-old children can graduate and become ninjas and as if this were not enough, there are also highly dangerous giant beasts that can seal themselves in people"
"I really don't understand how they allow a child that a dangerous creature like that inside, being surrounded by people, is basically a time bomb waiting to go off!" Vlad said, which earned him looks from everyone else.
"Are you seriously going to go through with that? The Hokage doesn't think it's bad that Naruto is in the village and interacts with the others, we should at least trust the Hokage's judgment." Mandalay replied, although Vlad disagrees, he decided not to argue.
"Though on the other hand, I'm glad the fox doesn't exist in our world, it would be a greater threat than any we've ever faced, since if the ninjas of that world could only defeat it by sealing it in Naruto, we wouldn't stand a chance against it. " Tiger said, to which the others nodded in agreement.
"What I'm wondering at the moment is who will be the new guest that our hostess is going to bring" Present Mic said
"I just hope it's not the giant fox" Power Loader said, somewhat scared by the idea of being in the same room as the fox.
"By the way, where is Ragdoll? I haven't seen her since we left the theater" Pixie-Bob asked, somewhat worried not seeing her teammate.
"I suppose he must be cleaning the theater with Kota," Mandalay said.
Apocalyptic Workshop
In the workshop, Melissa continued working on the boots, while Hatsume continued working on the arc reactor. Power Loader entered the workshop to join them a few moments later.
"Power Loader I thought he had a meeting with the teachers" Melissa questioned when she saw him enter the workshop.
"The meeting is over and I wanted to come to work, besides someone needs to supervise Hatsume" Power Loader said as he glanced at Hatsume. "I just hope she didn't cause you any trouble while I was gone."
"Oh not at all! We both get along well." Melissa replied.
After this exchange, the three inventors got down to work with their projects.
Doomsday Bar
The villains were relaxing at the bar while Kurogiri served drinks, Tokoyami and Kuroiro were arguing about…dark obviously, and Black Shadow kept an eye on the villains in case any of them tried to attack his friend. All of them were quite thoughtful about the story they had just seen, which was unusual for them to see a story that they felt identified with, except for the Hulk and a little Captain America, he hadn't felt that way with any other character in the MCU.
"I must admit that it has been really interesting" Mr. Compress said while doing a card trick. "Really not at all what I expected"
"Yes, what we could see in that world has been very interesting" Said All for One, while remembering the fox. "If only I could control that creature, no one would oppose me, it's a pity that I can't perform the jutus, but I wonder if I would be able to steal Chakra and what other powers exist in that world" Tokoyami and Kuroiro felt something intimidated by this statement, but since they know that All for One does not have access to that world, they do not worry too much.
"I really liked that kid, he reminded me a bit of myself," Spinner confessed as he recalls the discrimination he suffered for his reptilian-like appearance. "And above all I really liked his attitude"
"And yet the 'heroes' despise him just like those people" Dabi said, quite annoyed as he remembered Vlad's comments about Naruto and how he should be isolated from everyone.
"They are heroes, did you expect anything else from those hypocrites?" asked Shigaraki
"Not at all" Dabi replied. "By the way, where are Toga and Twice? Don't tell me they're still spying on the heroes."
"They didn't tell me, but I think they're more interested in stories than spying." Kurogiri replied.
Danger Room
After the meetings in the living room and in the cafeteria, some students supervised by Aizawa and Vlad (who after the Bakugo incident decided to personally supervise the students when they use the danger room to prevent another similar incident) decided to train in the danger room, at first they wanted to fight against Naruto or some character from his world, but unfortunately they were not yet available, because as La Brava explained, they had not finished them yet since it was not planned to take a break so early. Although this was disappointing, they decided to fight the MCU characters instead. Fukidashi, Sato, Jiro and Awase, decided to fight with Iron Man. Uraraka, Yaoyorozu, Kodai and Kendo with Captain America. And Shoji, Shoto, Monoma and Tsuburaba would fight against with Thor.
While Gentle watched the training and La Brava worked on Naruto's holograms.
1 HOUR LATER
Lobby
All the characters were transported to the lobby, they realized that the rest time was longer this time than they usually had with Kiddo. They could also notice that Felicity was not alone, besides Ragdoll there was also a woman (who they assumed was the new guest) with red hair, violet eyes and who was wearing a sleeveless high-necked blouse under a long, loose-fitting dress with a wristband on it the left wrist and sandals.
"Well, before we continue reading the story, let me introduce you to our new guest" Felicity said pointing to the woman. "She is Kushina, and she was a Konoha Kunoichi"
"Hello, nice to meet you" Greeting Kushina.
"What does that mean of was?" Aizawa asked suspiciously.
"Oh, actually, I'm dead, you know" Kushina said a little nervous.
This statement quite surprised the audience.
"Does that mean you're a zombie!?" Mineta exclaimed quite scared.
"That? Of course not, let me explain…" Kushina couldn't finish what she was going to say.
"And you're going to eat our brains!?" Kaminari joined in, also scared by the fact that Kushina is dead.
"OF COURSE NOT!" Kushina yelled furiously as she punched both of them to the shock of everyone else.
"Agh that hurt!" Mineta exclaimed as he rubbed his head which is where Kushina had hit him.
"Seems like I went a bit too far, you know" Kushina said looking quite embarrassed by this fact. "I have always been very temperamental, since I can remember, I try to avoid it but I get excited and I get out of control." finish explaining.
"Well, you weren't nicknamed Red Hot-Blooded Habanero for nothing" Felicity said "But hey, I'm going to explain a couple of things, Kushina was one of the many people who died during the nine-tailed fox's attack on Konoha"
The audience is shocked by this fact, while Kushina is saddened to remember that event, and the fact that it was Obito who carried it out, in addition to the consequences it had, such as leaving her son orphaned, which would lead to the Uchiha massacre, the death of his dear friend Mikoto, and Sasuke's descent into villainy.
"Before Naruto she was the jinchuriki of the fox, and when she died they sealed the fox in Naruto instead, and before anyone asks anything you will see exactly what happened as we progress in the story"
This also surprised the audience, but they refrained from asking, because they know that their hostess, like Kiddo, is not going to tell them anything that could be considered "spoilers", while Midoriya wrote down in his notebook what he learned about Kushina.
"Okay, with nothing more to say, grab your food trays and let's watch the next episode.
