Kunoichi amongst Heroes (Boku no hero academia x Naruto crossover)

Echoes of Determination

Hello wonderful readers! Well September has been a monsoon of a month for me, how about you guys? And now we're about to enter into the month of pumpkins, treats and tricks. Hope these chapters gives the best kick into the new month. Enjoy!

Eri's peaceful slumber granted Sakura a temporary respite from the emotional turmoil that consumed her. While the young girl found solace in dreams, Sakura remained restless, her mind racing with thoughts and plans. She wore a persistent smile throughout the day, ensuring that Eri's fragile heart remained at ease, while deep within her, a storm brewed.

The weight of Eri's past and the darkness that engulfed her soul was like festering wounds. Sakura couldn't fathom the extent of the atrocities the young girl had endured. It resonated too closely with the horrors she had witnessed under Orochimaru, the suffering of those subjected to his cruel experiments. It was a haunting reminder that sometimes this world might reflect a little too closely with hers at times, and that wasn't a good thing at the moment.

As Sakura engaged in the activities that distracted Eri, she was unable to find a moment of peace for herself. Her mind raced with conflicting emotions, her heart ached with anger and determination.

Revenge, a concept she had once admonished, now resurfaced in her thoughts. The primal urge to obliterate the darkness that plagued Eri, embodied in the form of Overhaul, consumed her.

Every smile she bestowed upon Eri was accompanied by a clandestine construction of her next move. Sakura knew that her actions carried great weight and consequences. She had witnessed firsthand the devastating toll revenge had taken on Sasuke, and yet, at this moment, she was willing to abandon all caution and heed the call of her fury.

Despite the turmoil that threatened to engulf her, Sakura understood that she couldn't afford to lose her composure. Eri's delicate existence rested in her hands. She had become the girl's protector. Sakura knew that any misstep on her part would have dire consequences.

So she vowed to be the calm within the storm, to gather her thoughts and formulate a plan that would rid Eri of the horrors that plagued her.

The original looked at her with a sharp glare, "You know what to do,"

Sakura's clone gazed at her reflection in the mirror, contemplating her next move. The air in the small cabin was thick with tension as she weighed the risks and benefits of her plan. She knew she had to act, to draw out and bring an end to Chisaki's reign.

Arriving at the underground fight clubs, Sakura's clone knew she would find what she was looking for here. The dimly lit room was filled with a cacophony of voices, the air thick with the smell of sweat and anticipation. She blended into the crowd, her presence like a phantom among the boisterous fighters and eager spectators.

News of Nemesis had spread like wildfire through the underground network. Whispers of her exploits had reached the ears of those hungry for blood and glory especially since Shie Hassaikai had put a bounty on her head to be brought back alive.

The crowd murmured in excitement, their eyes fixed on the enigmatic figure in the black suit.

The arena was shrouded in darkness, the only source of light emanating from the spotlight that illuminated Sakura's clone standing in the center of the ring. The silhouette of her opponent, another fallen victim to her devastating punch, loomed on the other side. This time, the prize money held no allure for Sakura; she sought something far more precious—notoriety. Fighter after fighter had succumbed to her skill, eager to claim the reward awaiting the victor.
