Shikigami Dance: Naruto/BNHA Crossover

Targeted

A few days previously... Office of the Hero Public Safety Commission...

Hawks had his hands shoved in his pockets, looking all nonchalant as he stood in front of the Commission President.

"We have an assignment for you," the female president's voice held a note of one used to being obeyed.

Hawks raised an eyebrow, "Oh? what is it this time?"

The president opened a file and slid it forward, "We are assigning you this student for the internship program."

Hawks looked at the photo of a student with crimson red hair and amber-colored eyes, "Oh really? Aren't students meant to make their own choice when it comes to their internships?"

"Not this one," the president's voice was cold, "He's a special case as you may remember. Anyway, you have already sent a request for him to come to your agency. It will be easy to arrange."

The number three hero cricked his neck, "It's not like I have any choice, but even if he is so special, why make all this effort to control him? Is this some spy mission?"

The president rested her chin on her interlaced hands, "This boy's been taught too well not to suspect a move like that. Even with your skills, he'd see through it instantly. This is mainly a reminder that we control what he does," she sighed, "Although I must admit he's drawn too much attention for us to openly do anything. If my predecessor had cracked down from the beginning, we could have groomed him into one of our best agents. Now, there are too many people involved, the police, Best Jeanist, UA's principal, now Endeavor has his eyes on him. There are others of course, but those are the ones who can cause the most issue."

"Sounds like you've got quite a tangle to deal with," Hawks quipped lightly although his expression didn't match his tone, "If you don't want me to spy on him, then what do you really want?"

The president sent him a serious look, "What I'm about to tell you is highly classified. No one hears this beyond this room."

Hawks dropped his carefree facade, "Alright. What is it?"

The president sighed, "Before the rise of All Might, the Japanese government went through several changes as our society was overrun with criminal activity. The position of Prime Minister used to be by appointment by the Cabinet and then designated by the National Diet and the Ministers of State. He'd serve four years without limitation on the number of terms he'd be given. However, in a time of chaos, a new system arose. It became a habit for the Prime Minister to be appointed for life and the successor would be chosen from within the family, creating a ruling dynasty of three generations now. Unofficially, the Prime Minister is considered the Emperor of Japan and holds great power at will."

"And why are you explaining this? Everyone knows how this works."

The president sighed, "The current Prime Minister has been acting aggressively of late. He has overrun the procedure and appointed his daughter as his successor. He's even been provoking war with other countries," she scoffed, "As if we don't have enough problems. He's been making moves against our organization and other threats to his power."

Hawks sighed, "I see... so this is a power play. You want me to get on the kid's good side and gain another chess piece."

The president held out another file, "That is only part of it."

Hawks opened the file and his eyes widened, "What the..."

The president face looked grim, "He's been working with someone really powerful. That file holds several cases of mysterious disappearances."
