Chapter 11: CHAPTER 11
On a beach full of trash and junk. Two men were cleaning up the trash. One was big, tall, and muscular with yellow hair. The other was small and thin with messy green hair.
The two people cleaning up were the main characters of this world. Midoriya Izuku and his mentor Toshinori Yagi or familiarly called All Might.
Actually, they didn't clean up the trash together. But in reality only Midoriya was working while the yellow-haired giant just kept shouting encouragement.
Nagato felt ironic as he watched the interaction of the two people. He was now also on the same beach but a little further away from the trash-filled location. What a lack of love for nature, is there no law on environmental pollution in this world?
Nagato
was still watching the two people through Itachi's eyes. He then looked down at the half-finished drawing on the sketchbook in his lap. It had been a long time since he relaxed and drew again since the incident in the suburban town.
Nagato was sketching a face. These were the faces of 'Nagato's' parents. He got the faces of these two parents from his headache yesterday. It was almost midnight when his headache disappeared. It was the longest pain he had ever experienced.
He got a memory that was..., hard to say. It was the memory of 'Nagato' before he left his house. She recalled the bad flashes again.
That night as usual Nagato's father came home at midnight and beat his wife. In the morning it was Nagato's turn to be beaten by his mother.
And Nagato just accepted it, because all he knew was that the woman was his mother and Nagato respected both his parents very much even though Nagato also felt afraid of those two people.
His mother continued to beat him until his mother suddenly stopped. He heard his mother say. "It's exhausting having to do this every day. When will my pay arrive this month?"
After that Nagato saw his father coming with a liquor bottle. "Take it easy it's the last day. That boss said if we can stimulate this boy harder to bring out his quirk, then we can hand him over to his owner." 'Nagato' just stared at his parents confused. Not understanding what they were talking about.
His mother looked at Nagato's father nervously. "You said this is the last day. Then you have to pay my hospital bill this time!."
"Why would I do that?!" Nagato's father gulped the bottle down.
"You said it's the last one and it should be harder. That means there must be serious injuries, right. I don't want my fee reduced because I have to go to the hospital!" Mrs. Nagato raised her voice. And started arguing with Nagato's father. Nagato, who was still lying on the floor after being beaten, just watched his parents in silence.
"Noisy!, Why are all girls so chatty?. Let's practice right away."
*Pyaaar!.
With one blow, the bottle shattered on Nagato's mother's head. Blood flowed profusely down the woman's face. 'Nagato' was shocked to see the incident. Nagato's mother screamed loudly because of the pain.
Nagato's father beat Nagato's mother with the bottle he was holding. "Well, you want to get paid don't you. Then we should be able to get this boy to release his quirk." Nagato's father beat Nagato's mother harder.
Nagato's mom screamed loudly at first. But gradually her voice grew quieter and just kept quiet as the rain of blows fell on her body. 'Nagato' was still watching his mother being beaten, his mother's voice was getting quieter and then silent again.
"Why Nagato, let's take out your quirk and save your mother immediately. Otherwise this woman could die at my hands. Come on Nagato where's your quirk?!. You don't want this woman to die do you?!!!" Nagato's father glanced at 'Nagato', but his hand was still faithfully hitting the woman below him.
"Nagato!!! You son of a bitch!. How cowardly are you that you dare not fight me huh!!. Or do you respect this old man too much that you dare not fight back like that?" Nagato's father watched 'Nagato' who was looking at him with wide eyes and a body that kept shaking.
"Heh, then I change the subject." Nagato's father dropped Nagato's mother who was already unconscious either alive or dead.
He then took an empty bottle and broke it with the corner of the table. Pyaar!.
'Nagato's' body shook violently as soon as he saw his father coming with the broken glass. "You must be able to defend yourself Nagato!. Use your quirk!" His father smiled and ran towards 'Nagato'.
In a split second as the broken glass was about to hit 'Nagato'. The quirk in his left eye activated and automatically released shinra tensei, blocking his father who ran towards him along with the building behind his father.
The house was half destroyed Nagato's father was buried under the rubble along with his mother's body which also bounced off.
'Nagato' was very scared. All he knew was that his father was trying to kill him after killing his mother. Thus making his quirk active because it detects threats. Out of fear and panic, 'Nagato' fled the area and kept running until he reached a suburban town a few days later.
Nagato completed his sketch. The battered and bloody face of a woman and a man swinging a broken glass bottle at her. It was the incident that was most imprinted on 'Nagato's' memory.
Now he had found the answers to all the questions he had thought for 'Nagato's' life here. He let out a long sigh.
First it was obvious to quote the short conversation of 'Nagato's' parents here. They were obviously fake, a foreign couple paid to take care of 'Nagato'.
The two couples got paid to awaken 'Nagato's' quirk through extreme stimulation. Perhaps they planned to force 'Nagato' to unleash all his abilities. What is clear is that the couple succeeded, but unfortunately they died because of 'Nagato's' abilities.
Third, Nagato didn't know that his 'parents' were fake. He considers the couple to be his biological parents. That's probably why Nagato chose to stay for three years instead of running away because he didn't want to leave his 'parents'. So when he got his 'parents' killed, 'Nagato' ran away out of fear and panic.
Fourth, Nagato obviously doesn't know who paid the couple to 'take care of him'.
But he himself knew who was the mastermind behind 'Nagato's' dark life. It was clear that the person was the main villain, All For One.
And the last is the question itself. How did All For One know that Nagato would have such a powerful quirk?. Does that person know 'Nagato's' origins and who 'Nagato's' biological parents are?.
What is clear is that he is occupying 'Nagato's' body now. If he could, he would avoid and never meet that villain or stay away if possible. If only that man knew all of Nagato's abilities, it was certain that the man would seize the quirk. And he didn't want that to happen to him.
Now he also had to watch out for Shigaraki and Kurogiri. Those two were All For One's most loyal henchmen. It was certain that they would put All For One's wishes ahead of their own. Truly loyal subordinates.
Nagato sighed and enjoyed the beach sunset in front of him. Soon Kurogiri will pick him up at the usual alley. Nagato closed his sketch book then sat comfortably on 'Ryosuke's' back.
Nagato made 'Ryosuke' walk towards the dark alley where Kurogiri used to pick him up. Itachi followed Nagato from the sky once he saw Nagato and 'Ryosuke' walking away.
....
Up in the bar, Nagato was still thinking about the answer to his question. How did All For One know about Nagato's powerful quirk?. Most likely because that person knew about the origins of 'Nagato's' biological parents.
Nagato bit his finger while getting off 'Ryosuke's' back. Suddenly the finger he was biting was pulled out. Then there was a glass of milk right in front of him. Nagato glanced up. A black mist man in a bartender's outfit stood in front of him.
Didn't this man just put it down?. Since when has this man been pouring milk?.
This villain is definitely not as bad as Shigaraki. A calm and calculating person. But unfortunately this person is only loyal to his master.
Nagato immediately accepted the milk and drank it without thinking. "Thank you," After that he handed over the empty glass and went into his room.
Kurogiri looked at the empty glass in his hand. "He drank it?" Shigaraki appeared from the dark side of the room. Kurogiri nodded. "Yes, all of it."
"Good then. That boy is very naive, only trusting people he already knows. Sensei wants a sample from the boy. You take the sample. I don't want the boy's responsibility to be in ashes if I take it." Shigaraki sat down on her usual barstool.
Kurogiri just silently stared at the closed door of Nagato's room. Waiting for the medicine to work.
Nagato already knew that something was wrong with the milk he drank. Because his stomach immediately churned to reject the milk. Immediately he spit it all out in the toilet.

But
even though he had vomited it up. Some effect had seeped in her body. He felt weak and his eyes were heavy asking to be closed. So Nagato just leaned back in the chair following the wishes of his eyes. Just in case Itachi or 'Ryosuke' made him watch the room.
Ten minutes later Nagato saw Kurogiri enter his room carrying a small metal box through Itachi's eyes. Nagato knew it, it was an injection site.
First Kurogiri closed the door then walked over to 'Ryosuke' and closed his eyes. Clearly the man was suspicious if Nagato was able to control 'Ryosuke' while unconscious. Well, his suspicions were also correct. Nagato could indeed control his 'puppet' even if he was unconscious.
Kurogiri then looked at Itachi. But the bird ignored Kurogiri and played around with the items he stole. As if it thought Kurogiri didn't exist. Though Itachi occasionally glanced at the fog man while playing. Itachi knew that Nagato was watching Kurogiri using his vision.
Kurogiri then glanced at Nagato who was 'sleeping' on the chair after making sure Itachi wasn't a problem.
Kurogiri then approached Nagato and did his job. Nagato only felt a small prick on his hand. He knew that the man was taking his blood sample.
But he wasn't worried. Because the quirk was in his left eye. Even if the man got his blood, at most he could only research about the iron he produced from his wrist.
And she wasn't worried about that. Even if that person could produce his own iron. They wouldn't be able to make 'puppets'. Because controlling a puppet required a rinegan in the left eye.
Nagato felt proud of his own analysis. He then felt Kurogiri pull out the needle and leave his room. But before that person left, Nagato felt a blanket covering his body. Then he heard the sound of the door closing.
Hah, Kurogiri is still Kurogiri it seems that the person is not too suitable to be a villain. Maybe he's more suited to being a butler.
Nagato immediately discarded the thought and slept soundly due to the influence of the drug.
....
The next day Nagato and 'Ryosuke' went to the beach again. But he left early in the morning so the beach was quiet because it was still working hours. And the main character must be in school right now.
Well, Nagato didn't mind the long wait because he brought his guitar. It had been a long time since he had played 'Ryosuke's' shabby guitar, which was now his.
At the bar Nagato couldn't play freely, as Shigaraki would grumble to kick him out. Well, Nagato could only stay put, having nowhere else to live. And he didn't want to live homeless on the street.
His life was pretty good now. He had a room, three meals a day, all for free. And best of all, all his requests were granted. Like when he asked for surgical tools that time. Those things are not cheap. But the big boss was willing to grant it. Nagato was basically just living off the land. So he had to stay calm until he could find an opening to get away from the villains.
Nagato determined his meeting with the main characters. It should be the first meeting between the villains and the protagonists, the USJ incident isn't it? Nagato looked forward to that day.
That day was still a few months away. And Nagato would be able to watch the protagonists fight with the villains. Although later he will stand among the villains.
But it's okay he will definitely find a way to escape from all the villains.
Nagato played one song. He had gotten his voice a long time ago. Now he doesn't need 'Ryosuke's' voice to accompany his song. Though that time Nagato had written lyrics for him to teach 'Ryosuke', but that guy was gone. Only leaving him with an empty shell. He could now only sing by himself.
"Listen 'Ryosuke' this is the song I will teach you. The title is..., just an easy one. Kamado Tanjiro no Uta. You should learn it well." Nagato faced 'Ryosuke' as if he was actually teaching him. But he knew, 'Ryosuke' would never be able to learn it on his own. Nagato was just lying to himself, acting as if 'Ryosuke' was really learning from him.
Like he was playing with a dollhouse. Doing it alone, happy and laughing alone, feeling lonely for being alone.
Yet Nagato kept singing despite feeling empty and lonely.
Itachi looked up at Nagato from the top of the tree. Nagato was doing it again. He did this a lot. Acting as if 'Ryosuke' was alive and chatting with that soulless body.
Sometimes Itachi also had thoughts that Nagato was out of his mind. But Itachi just kept watching Nagato silently. Perhaps because of his increased IQ, Itachi could feel the emotion of humanity.
