章節 6: Hero or Villain, Gran Torino?
As the fight rages on with typical anime exaggeration such as yelling out the name of the person your fighting, I was climbing the debris struggling against the blowback from the two trading punches. I was thankful for all the time I spent raising my chakra control so I could root myself in place with the tree walking exercise but just to be safe I stuck the kingdom key into some rubble as an anchor.
The sight I was treated to was impressive to say the least. The two titans of immeasurable strength dueling it out filled my red tinted vision. They were fast even for my newly matured sharingan was barely keeping up with their insane speed that didn't seem relative to their size or monstrous strength. It makes me wonder how All Might covered this up as well as he did.
As the fight rages on I begin to think about what I should do. Even from here I can feel the force whipping in a whirlwind of fate as the strongest hero clashes with the greatest villain. History in the making as the paint the course of the future with fist strong enough to rearrange mountains. Even just one small tap could change everything as it ripples out.
I began weighing my options to find what would benefit me most. All For One could make me the strongest person alive sure but it is more likely that I will end up a slave or a brainless nomu. All Might is a good person but he has issues, I don't know about what others think but I really believe he has trust issues since there are only only three people that know the full truth about him and his successor by choice in the anime. Not to forget he adheres to the same self destructive path of the Jedi.
In the end I choose to do nothing, even with the dark side whispering in my ear ways to play this to my gain for more power I turn away and let it play out. After all it is as Revan's teacher Kreia once said 'True strength is to turn away power that is not your own' even if I could get more quirks from AFO or become the inheritor of OFA, it would only rob me of my own free will as I would have to adhere to their ideologies.
Revan may not have had her as a teacher during the same time as the exile but my memories of the game and her teachings that both sides are not without their flaws helps put things into perspective. So I hunkered down and watched as the story played out. Though I may have seen some bloody sights during my time under the doctor, it was kinda hard to see someone with a whole in their side like a living dissection. Neither was the sight of a man without a face, but there was All Might believing it was over and that OFA was dead as he got away with some weird quirk, It kinda reminded me of Orochimaru.
As the dust finally settled those that were nearby such as some pro hero's and others began crawling all over the rubble that made up this godforsaken facility. Meanwhile I started to slink away and try to get out since I didn't really feel like being out under government surveillance since I kinda have a bunch of quirks, much less end back up under the scalpel so they can figure out what makes me tick.
Slinging the duffel bag to the front as I begin to dig through it as I make my way through back alleys and stick to the shadows. The first thing I find is fake documents for the doctor, myself, and a few of the other slaves so I take all but my own and burn them to ashes with a little fire nature chakra. Next I find a sticky note with coordinates and a time so I assume this was how he planed to escape the country seeing as how on top of this the heroes as I'm not risking capture. Then finally a fat stack of cash, skimming through it seems to be 5 million yen.
Honestly I'm a little bit of a whore for money but then I remember how worthless it is compared to the usd so I deflate a little and try to figure out the value in something I can relate to. If I can remember right assuming this world isn't too different from home even with the plot being like 100 to 200 years in the future it is like 1:100 meaning this was like 50k. Assuming that was right I figured I could make it work.
Well that was until I was completely blindsided with a boot to the back of my head. "And who might you be?" I hear an aged voice ask as he stands on me so I tilt my head to the side revealing my sharingan ready to put whoever stopped me into an illusion only to find it was Gran Torino that found me. 'Maybe I can put this in my favor' I start to talk slowly as to keep my throat from bleeding again. "Ex... peri... meant... six... two... six..."
He raises an eyebrow and looks me up and down taking note of every scar he can see especially the imprint the collar left on the skin around my neck. He moves his leg off me and allows me to recollect myself and the spilled contents of the duffel bag, however one folder catches his interest as he swipes before I can giving it a read. In the folder was everything Doctor Tsubasa had on me and my creation to the notes provided by one Daruma Ujiko. I gotta say when I went through the folder myself I got a little confused but thanks to a little force technique to help with memory I finally remembered more chapters of the manga than when I first got here.
I was genuinely surprised at how much Tsubasa and Ujiko practically were twins. I guess whatever differences in this timeline that involved my creation had influenced them into working together. Anyway moving on Torino could only widen his eyes so much as he continued to put together the puzzle pieces on my existence. Looking at me with a difficult and sad look he says "So what was your plan kid? Do you even know anything?"
I look down at the ground and shake my head. Doctor Tsubasa might have taught me some really random shit he thought would be useful but never anything I would need to know to survive on my own in the modern world. "Well I'm not sure what to do with you brat. I can take you to the authorities then they"
I interrupted him with a glare as the tomoes in my eye spun I would have talked but a little genjutsu practice never hurt while my throat would "No, they will fear me, use me, take away my freedom, or take me apart to find what makes me tick. Never again." He was a little startled that I was talking without moving my mouth but he calmed down when he realized I meant no harm to him.
"Well you gotta go somewhere brat, and unless you are gonna do something illegal for money ain't no way you can afford to take care of yourself." It hurts to admit but that was the best plan I had right now, mulling it over he looks to me and says. "How about this, I can't just let you go but you don't want your freedom restricted. So I'll cut you a deal, you live with me and I'll support ya in exchange you become a hero. You know what that is right?"
I nod my head and begin thinking it over as Gran Torino thinks 'This kid has a lot of potential thanks to what that bastard did to him, if I leave him to his own devises he could become a dangerous villain. I hope you say yes or I will have to do something I don't think either of us will like.' Meanwhile I consider my options and look Torino in the eye before giving him a resolute nod.
It was the best option available to me at the moment as far as I could tell, not only would I have access to an amazing teacher but I wouldn't need to worry about my finances for the foreseeable future. Plus the promise to be a hero is nice, I might be a bit restricted in what I can do but I'm choosing this not anyone else and it helps that it gives me something to live for, a goal, a meaning.
"Alright brat, I'll help you out. We gotta tell the truth about you to a few people but I can keep it to those few and protect you. Let's go." From there he lead me to where a group of pros were gathered together talking about the current situation and Gran Torino walks up to who I recognize as principal Nezu. From there they talk and he hands over the file to Nezu, I'm not certain from what happened there but I guess Nezu was able to sympathize with me as he seem to nod his head in agreement and wave him keeping the files with him.
After that Torino came back to me saying "Alright I go the ball rolling kid, I will handle everything for now though we will head home and get you cleaned up." And that is exactly what we did, I have to say it was heaven finally getting a proper bath. Gran Torino lead me to his guest room then I collapsed on the bed for once in my new life I got a full night's sleep with no intuitions it was nice.
