35 Return To Kirigakure Village

After returning from the stadium, Haku who was tired went straight to bed without eating dinner. Since the next day there was an opening ceremony, Haku wanted to rest a little longer. However, because he heard an unusual noise, he woke up.

"Oh, who's fighting at this hour? I can't sleep." Haku complained then he got up and went downstairs. When Haku was about to leave the dormitory, he heard Aizawa and All Might talking.

Haku finally found out that Bakugo and Midoriya were fighting at the training ground. Secretly, Haku went to Bakugo and Midoriya's place and arrived when Midoriya had been beaten by Bakugo and he said that even though Midoriya had made All Might's power his, Midoriya still lost to him.

'All Might's power belongs to Midoriya? Oh, so Midoriya got his powers from All Might huh? It's easy to guess, he's the MC in this world. It turns out that quirks can be inherited too, I just found it out. But I have to clarify my guess.' Haku thought who was standing in the building near the place of the fight.

Then when All Might came and explained everything to Bakugo, Haku finally believed in his guess. 'I didn't think All Might would reveal it here. Did he not notice my presence? Well, whatever it's fine if I keep my mouth shut about this. Now, let's sleep. This problem can be solved by All Might and Aizawa-sensei.' Haku thought then teleported to his room from the kunai he hung in the room and continued sleeping again.

The next day, all of the class A children were shocked when they found out that Bakugo and Midoriya were fighting. "You guys fought and got confinement in the dormitory?" Ashido asked.

"So stupid."

"Very ridiculous."

"Are you stupid?"

"Hard to believe."

"Have you made up with each other??" Ochaco asked Midoriya.

"I can't say it's good, but… hm… it's hard to explain." Midoriya said.

"Thank goodness you guys were only locked up in the dorms. In that case, you will miss today's opening ceremony." Iida said.

"Bakugo, how about your temporary hero license extra class?" asked Todoroki.

"NOISY!! NOT YOUR BUSINESS!!" Bakugo exclaimed annoyed.

"Then, happy cleaning!"

"Class president, don't you want to say anything to the two of them?" Kirishima asked when he saw Haku walking out of the dormitory.

"Ah, I have nothing to say to them. After all, they had already solved their problem. Just leave it." Haku said without looking back the slightest then walked out of the dormitory.

His friends were silent seeing Haku's reaction which seemed cold. "Haku, it's been a little different lately huh." Sero said.

"Yeah, he's gotten a little colder than usual." Tsuyu said.

"Could it be because he has become a true Fuuma, that it affects his mind a bit." Jiro said.

"Perhaps what Jiro-san said is true. Haku-kun has been locked up for 7 days in a black box without eating or drinking. He couldn't feel anything and there was only complete darkness around him. Even though Haku-kun is strong, I don't think there's any way he can get out of there without being affected in the slightest. What a pity." Midoriya's words were then considered correct by all his friends because they made sense.

"You're right too. If I were Haku, I would probably go crazy for not being able to feel anything." Kaminari said.

"Since childhood he was forced to train, he also lost his close friends before his very eyes, plus he was kidnapped and forced to perform rituals he didn't want to do. Haku's luck is really bad." Satou said.

"I'm surprised that with such a past, Haku is still able to smile at us all the time. Haku is really great huh." Hagakure said.

"Yes. He's a great person. He has left us far ahead. We have to catch up soon so we can walk beside him as a reliable partner." Midoriya said.

"Yes you're right." Ochaco said.

"But, hearing that from the person who was sentenced to dorm confinement feels a little strange." said Mineta who teased Midoriya. Midoriya finally felt embarrassed.

Meanwhile at school, all of the class A students were about to go to the field to take part in the opening ceremony of the new semester.

"Two persons!! Said, there are two people in your class who failed the temporary hero license exam!" Exclaimed Monoma from class B.

"Monoma from class B." said Sero with a little disdain.

"He's still as crazy as ever, isn't he." Kaminari said.

"In that case, is it class B this time, you're the one who failed? Like the end of semester exams?" Kirishima asked confidently.

"All of us, made it through! We're one step ahead huh, Class A." said Monoma arrogantly. They still didn't know that Haku already had a hero license.

"I'm sorry, guys." Todoroki said regretfully.

"Don't take it to heart, they're the only ones who want to compete with us." Kirishima said.

"Don't worry Todoroki. People who can spot their mistakes and want to fix them can be better than people who are always right. Puff out your chest with pride! You should be able to catch up with the others quickly." Haku said while patting Todoroki's back so he wouldn't bend over.

"Class president…". Haku smiled at Todoroki then went to change his shoes and was about to go out.

"Vlad-Teacher said, this semester we will take joint classes. I cannot wait!" said the child with a foreign accent from class B.

"Then, it can be a show of ability huh!!" Kirishima said excitedly.

"It turns out that there are students from abroad, right?" Kaminari said.

Monoma also whispered something to his friend and the strange girl innocently said, "I will beat all of you until you can't stand up anymore!!" she said excitedly.

This took Kaminari and Kirishima by surprise. Unexpectedly Haku who was still standing in front of his shoe locker laughed loudly along with Monoma.

"Don't teach her strange words! And why is the head of class A laughing too?" said Kendo, the head of class B.

"Ahahaha… Sorry, that was really funny. If a friend from abroad becomes a classmate, the desire to teach her strange things will definitely arise. Because she wouldn't know what it meant until she was told. Haah… well, everyone let's go to the field soon. Don't get in the way of others." Haku said then exited the school building.

"HI EVERYONE, I AM THE PRINCIPAL OF YOUR FAVORITE SMALL MAMMAL!!" Greet Nezu during the opening ceremony.

"Lately, the quality of the feathers I'm proud of has started to deteriorate. I had a hard time taking care of it. It also has something to do with humans…" And Nezu also said unimportant things for a few minutes then moved on to more important topics.

Previously, Haku was summoned to the principal's office to discuss his hero license. Nezu wants to announce that Haku already has a hero license and wants to inflame the spirits of the other students. But Haku refused and said that it was not necessary.

"Alright, then the welcome from the extracurricular lifestyle tutor, Hound Dog-sensei." Said Vlad Sensei who was leading the way of the ceremony.

Because his speech was not clear, Vlad-Sensei also made it clear by saying "So last night there were students fighting. You may not be used to living in dorms, but keep living a simple life, he said. Now, go back to your respective classes."

"Alright, starting today we will continue our lessons in class. You've been through a lot, but you have to keep your spirits up and focus on carrying out your duties as a student. Today we will study in class. But in this semester, you will undergo training that is more strenuous than before." Aizawa sensei said.

"He didn't talk about that at all.." Ashido whispered to Tsuyu which Haku and Aizawa could easily figure out.

"What's wrong, Ashido?" asked Aizawa in annoyance.

"He's so sensitive!!" Ashido said scared.

"Excuse me, may I ask a question, sensei? Can sensei explain the 'apprentice training' the headmaster said during the ceremony earlier?" Tsuyu asked.

"Ah yes, the principal mentioned that earlier." Serro said.

"I also want to know what it is." said Tokoyami.

"The principal said the training was often attended by upperclassmen.." said Yaoyorozu.

"Actually I was planning to talk about it later, but I guess I should just say it now. Simply put, there are heroic apprenticeship activities outside of school. Just like the apprentice activities you guys did under the guidance of a pro hero before, and this time it's even more serious." Aizawa said.

Suddenly Ochaco panicked and asked, "Then what are we working hard on at the sports festival for?!".

"It's true, if we take an internship, then students who don't succeed in attracting the attention of recruiters, will have an equal chance." Iida said.

"Calm down Uraraka. Sensei must have an explanation." Haku said calmly.

"But…".

"Hero apprentice training uses information from the sports festival as a connection. This may not be a part of class, but an internship will instill a sense of wisdom in students. So students who didn't get special attention at the sports festival in the past would find it very difficult to participate in such activities. Initially, each hero agency would do their own recruitment, but there were often problems because they were fighting over UA students, so it ended up like this. If you understand, sit down." Aizawa said.

"Sorry that I concluded too quickly." Uraraka said then sat down.

"Since you now have a temporary hero license, you can participate directly for a long time. Previously, not many first graders had received temporary hero licenses. However, as the number of crimes increases, we will consider your participation. Well, I will explain everything as well as your next steps at the next opportunity. We still have a lot to consider. Alright, sorry to keep you waiting, Mic." Aizawa said.

Mic opened the classroom door with a big smile and shouted, "It's ENGLISH STUDY TIME, NOW IS MY TURN!! I haven't been standing on this stage in a long time!! DO YOU MISS ME, BRO?!! LOTS OF THINGS WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT TODAY!! PREPARE YOURSELF!! YEEEEAAAAHHH!!!".

After school, Haku immediately changed into his costume and went downstairs. "Hm, class president, where are you going in that costume of yours?" asked Kirishima. As a result, all the class A children turned to Haku and were curious.

"Would you like to go do Hero work?" Tsuyu asked.

"Oh yeah, Haku already got a hero license, so he can do activities like a Pro-Hero in general." Satou said.

"I want to prepare something for my next plan." Haku replied.

"The next plan? What's that? Tell us please!!" Ashido said.

"I want to make a place for people with special needs like me." Haku said which made everyone even more confused.

"People with special needs like you? What do you mean? Are you handicapped?" asked Mineta who was then slapped by Tsuyu with her tongue.

"That's very rude." Tsuyu said.

"Sorry.".

"You must already know about my past. I was forced to become a Shinobi at the age of 4, then lost both my parents and all my good friends, if I hadn't been saved by my uncle, I might have become an assasin by now. People with special needs are not always disabled. Sometimes they are just people who need someone else to accept them as they are. I want to make a place for those who have no place to live in this society. Have you ever thought, why someone can become a villain?"

Everyone was silent because they had never thought about it before.

"There are those who become villains because of discrimination and racism from the community in their environment. There are also those who have quirks that require special handling, but are considered strange and dangerous by the surrounding environment. There are also those who are labeled as having evil quirks so they are shunned. There are also good people but because they accept injustice from the environment, they turn into evil. There are so many reasons to be a villain."

"And have you ever thought, what can these villains do after they get out of prison?"

Everyone was silent.

"Many of them are rejected when applying for jobs simply because they have a criminal record even if it is only one record. So they have little choice but to repeat the same crime again to survive. I want to help people like them."

"Eh? You want to help people like them?"

"Heroes will only help good people." Haku said which made everyone gasp.

They are fixated on the words 'will only help good people'.

"In that case, those who have made mistakes should ask for help from whom? While the people around them have rejected them because they have made mistakes. Everyone must have made mistakes, but not many people can forgive someone's mistakes, even though that person wants to penetrate his sin."

Everyone fell silent while thinking about Haku's sensible words. They just thought that they should beat the villains and leave the rest to the police. They never thought about what would happen to the villain after they defeated him.

"My goal is only one, which is to live in peace with my uncle and family. But I can't reach it if there are still villains messing up the life around me. That's why I want to help them, at least they can live comfortably every day. Eat hearty and delicious food, a nice house, nice clothes, a non-dirty competitive job, and a peaceful environment. I want those who are not accepted by the general public to unite and live together. Since they both receive bad treatment from society, they will surely sympathize with each other and eventually be able to live comfortably by helping each other."

"Of course if that person is truly evil from the root, I will not spare that person. I will only help those who can still be helped."

"It seems I've spoken too much. I go first." Haku said then left his friends who were still thinking about Haku's words which made a lot of sense.

After get Aizawa's permission, Haku teleported to Zabuza's house and he was immediately greeted by his three wives. Zabuza and the three kunoichis also seemed ready to go somewhere.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Haku? This path you choose will be very difficult to walk. You might as well be seen as a threat to the government." Zabuza said warning Haku.

Haku nodded. "It's not fair to me that only good people enjoy peace. Even people who have made mistakes have the right to live a peaceful life like them. Therefore, I will make a place for those who have no place to take shelter. I will rescue and pull them from the darkness that surrounds them. Just like what Zabuza-ojisan did to me." Haku said with a smile.

"Huh, I don't remember ever doing anything like that to you. Let's go." Zabuza said slightly embarrassed.

Haku smiled happily because Zabuza was a tsundere type of person. "Alright, let's go." Haku said to his three wives.

After 10 hours of traveling, they finally arrived at a remote village that had been destroyed. "I thought I'd never set foot here again." Zabuza said with some disdain.

"Kirigakure. I also didn't think I'd ever think of coming here again since that night." Haku said.

Now the five of them were standing on a cliff on the edge of the village so that they could all see the entire area of ​​Kirigakure's village which was large enough to be a small town.

"Alright, just in case, let's see if this village is completely abandoned or not." Zabuza said then everyone nodded.

"Let's limit our search to 1 hour. After that, let's gather here again. If there's an emergency, just fire the emergency flare." Haku said.

"Okay, scatter!!"

After an hour of being separated, the five of them returned to their gathering place.

"I don't see any new traces around here. How about you guys?" asked Zabuza.

"I didn't see anything out of the ordinary." Sasaki replied.

"Me, too." Hanami said.

"I also don't see any new tracks with a radius of 3 km from this village." Masami said.

"I didn't see anything suspicious either." Haku said.

"Alright, then for now, let's create a kekkai to hide this village from outsiders. We will put pegs in five places on the outskirts of the village. Sasaki has already made the kekkai seal so we just need to go to the right mounting point for the pegs to work properly. Sasaki." Zabuza said then Sasaki took out five pegs in the form of a long black stick.

"Then let's divide the work and each stick this pegs in the places I've marked." Sasaki said while taking out a map of Kirigakure village and Sasaki had circled in five places.

"Okay, Haku, you will go here. Sasaki here. Hanami is here, Masami is here, and I will go here. After the kekkai is successfully installed, immediately come back here and we go home. The day is about to rise, you should rest for a while, Haku." Zabuza said.

"I understand. Before scattering, please attach this kunai too near the pegs. I have this kunai marked so that if there is a problem, I can go straight to where the pegs are." Haku said as he handed the kunai to Zabuza and his three wives.

"Understood." The three kunoichi answered.

"Then scatter!!" Zabuza exclaimed then they went to their respective points. And Haku went to a point that was across the ravine in the northern part of Kirigakure village. After getting to the point, Haku stuck it deep so it wouldn't fall.

After waiting for a few minutes, the pegs finally activated and transformed into a small shrine.

"Oh? The peg became a shrine? Interesting. Alright then, it's time to return to the gathering point." Haku said then hung his kunai on the shrine and went to the assembly point.

"How is Sasaki, did the kekkai succeed?" asked Haku after arriving at the gathering place.

"It worked, Haku-sama. In this way, outsiders who are looking from the sky will only see dense forests and if anyone tries to enter this area, then that person will only circle around in the same place. No one will be able to enter without your permission, Haku-sama." explain Sasaki.

"Will anyone be able to find the shrine?"

"I made it hard to find, but the chances of being found by someone else are not zero."

"Oh, I see. That means we need five people to guard each of the shrine later. Alright, for now our work here is done. We'll continue at another time. Everyone, hold on to me, we're going home." Haku said then everyone held on to Haku and disappeared in an instant.

Arriving at Zabuza's house, Haku felt exhausted because he used a lot of chakra to move five people at once. "Ukh… Thanks a lot for the help, Zabuza-ojisan, Sasaki, Hanami, Masami." Haku said who started to sway.

"Are you okay?" asked a worried Masami.

"No problem. Just tired from using a lot of chakra. Rest a day, I will definitely recover." Haku said.

"Are you still strong enough to teleport to the dorm?" asked Zabuza.

"Yes, ojisan."

"Then go. Don't worry your homeroom teacher. You're allowed until 7 in the morning, right?"

"Yes. Okay. Then I'll go first. Until we meet again everyone." Haku said then waved his hand and disappeared. Arriving at the dormitory, Haku felt very tired and immediately went to sleep without changing his clothes first.
