with the training camp cut short, students anxiously waited in the hospital, where midoriya was held due to his injuries, tobirama talked with the doctors outside the room midoriya was held, along with the class that stood around him

"When will he be released." tobirama asked, "ah well due to midoriya's state, he'll need time to heal" with a nod, the doctor started to talk in more detail,

"all might said, 'i can't save the people I can't reach' that's why he will always save those he can reach" midoriya spoke softly "i...was in a place where I could reach...I had to save him" 

"that's what my quirk is for..." tears streamed down midoriya's cheeks, " my body wouldn't move, it was all I could do to save kota" tobirama stood silently behind them

"I couldn't save someone in front of me" "then, let's save him this time," Kirishima said with no hesitation as he looked down at midoriya, iida's face scrunched up 

"This is something we should leave for the pros! this isn't the place for us to act, you idiots!" iida shouted, sweat rolling down his face "we know that!" Kirishima exclaimed 

tobirama caught wind of their shouting, and he excused himself before walking back to the room "but I couldn't do anything! after I heard my friend was being targeted, I couldn't do anything!" 

"I didn't do anything" Kirishima swung his arm back to his side, now facing iida "I won't be a hero or a man anymore!" extending his hand to midoriya "hey midoriya, your hand can still reach! we can go save him"

the door slid open, "is being a hero and a man really all it is?" the student's attention turned behind them "sensei.." Kirishima faltered 

"it doesn't make you less of a man to not be able to do anything, nor does it make you less of an aspiring hero, you can't save everyone" tobirama finished "but I could have done something!" Kirishima cried out

"what would you have done then? use your quirk and attack them? grab bakugou and save him, then what" tobirama lifted an eyebrow "I would have.." he trailed off

with a scoff, tobirama crossed his arms "don't beat yourself up about something you can't change, focus on what you can do rather what you cant."

tobirama was informed by nezu that he was requested for an emergency call, "is that so, I'll have to decline" he spoke bluntly "and why is that?" nezu kept a smile on his face 

"you would certainly be a huge factor in the rescue Senju-san...as the number five hero-" "my rank has nothing to do with this, I've already taken action"

nezu's eyebrow twitched in annoyance, 'you really are something aren't you Senju-san' he thought to himself "and what would that be? we can surely help one another, don't you think?" 

tobirama held eye contact, looking into nezu's beady eyes with thought "I've infiltrated the league of villains hideout, and have been collecting information" tobirama informed nezu

nezu perked up "you certainly are interesting Senju-san" he smiled some more, but tobirama didn't reply "what information have you gathered exactly?" 

"They want bakugou to join the league, yet it should be obvious that he refused their offer" tobirama gave out, choosing to leave out certain details

 nezu felt satisfied with this answer "well of course, young bakugou is courageous and has plenty of potential" he said with a smile 

tobirama must agree, although the boy's rough exterior and harsh words, he has the potential of being one of the greats with his will and strength
