A New Start -Bnha x Naruto

Chapter 7

School life was boring. Ignoring the constant "Deku, you bastard" that a certain Gremlin threw at a certain Brokoli-head seatmate, or all the other stupid kids who screamed at the top of their lungs shortly after, everything was boring. He was at the top of his class, not that it was particularly surprising. He had learned all the material when he was two. Who would have thought that all the reading back then had covered the knowledge for his entire school life. Not that it bothered him. But now he had time for other things, although he sometimes wondered why he still went to school at all. Couldn't he send a clone? Theoretically, yes, but for some reason he found himself sitting in the classroom time and time again. It's a mystery that would never be solved.

"You're so useless Deku, why are you even still here?!" the roar was followed by an explosion. The table clattered and Midoriya squeaked in fright. Orochimaru turned his head and watched the whole drama unfold right next to him. Why did Midoriya have to sit next to him? It had always been loudest next to him until now. Either because his bullies took the trouble to walk all the way through half the classroom to bully the boy, or because the boy himself started muttering like a maniac.

Orochimaru picked up his eraser and flicked it against Bakugou's forehead. The impact created a loud noise as the blond fell backwards to the ground.

"Shut up, you're annoying" Orochimaru hissed and everyone looked at the snake boy, startled.

Rule number one of the unspoken classroom rules: When Kenta is annoyed, run!

"You snake bastard!" roared Bakugou, who had jumped up again and was about to murder someone.

Additional information for rule 1: Run! Unless your name is Bakugou Katsuki.

Orochimaru took a second eraser and flicked it again. Again it hit right in the middle of his forehead, and again Bakugou was knocked back by the force. No one spoke a word and just tried to duck into the far corner of the classroom.

"Kacchan?!" asked Midoriya with a mixture of concern and shock as he knelt down next to the knocked out boy. "Kenta, what should we do now?" he asked his friend in panic, but he was already staring out the window again with disinterest.

Just another boring day at school.

That same evening, he hopped over the high rooftops of Musutafu. He was back in his Orochimaru persona, with which he had always appeared in the underworld when necessary. It was the same character he had appeared with in All for One and always used if it was absolutely necessary for others to see his face. Some clients insisted on it, and Orochimaru wasn't someone who would let a bunch of money go for such a small problem. He wasn't exactly a greedy person, but for his many and sometimes very expensive projects, he needed a lot of money. Especially because the people from the black market loved to pull the money out of the pockets of their customers. But he wouldn't complain, he had fun with his work as an assassin. Just the thrill when you kill someone in public under the eyes of others, but no one knows exactly who did it. He found it funny when they panicked and searched for a culprit and then suspected each other, while the real one watched the whole thing from the shadows. Sometimes the whole thing got a little bloody and only a little later it became known that Orochimaru was at work. At least he had had his fun.

But that was exactly the reason why he was on the move again at the moment. A client had contacted him and asked for a meeting. The mission details would be announced there. All Orochimaru already knew was that the pay was high and that he would be working with someone. He should not be bothered by this. Even though he liked to do his work alone, he was also able to work in a team. That was one of the things he had learned in his team with Tsunade and Jiraya.
