A New Start -Bnha x Naruto

Chapter 21

Sora looked angrily and offended at the girl in front of him and crossed his arms. "I did the task and it all went well after all" he said and started a staring contest with Kyoko.

Suddenly Orochimaru appeared in the middle of the three, his face blank, but all could tell he wasn't pleased. Takumi looked toward him.

"How good?" he asked, and the sannin turned to him.

"Horrible," was his prompt reply, and Sora made an indignant sound.

"Why!!! It all worked out!" he shouted, throwing his arms in the air. Orochimaru raised an eyebrow before he began to list:

"Your behavior was unprofessional, your responses too slow, you missed perfect chances to strike, multiple times, you ignored the plan, and while I am someone who is open to freestile, the death was too loud and" he turned toward the exit of the alley.

"-the police should be arriving any moment"

As if on cue, sirens sounded in the distance and he turned back to his students.

"In short, horrible."

All three looked at him silently, disappointment thick in the air. Sora looked to the ground and pouted, Kyoko looked for an excuse but found none.Only Takumi spoke up after a long while of silence, nervously looking towards the exit.

"Uhh... I don't know what else you guys are up to, but I think it would be a great idea to get out of here," he said, referring to the approaching sirens. Orochimaru hummed in agreement and seemed lost in thought for a moment before grinning.

"Good idea," he said, and Takumi looked at him suspiciously.

"As punishment and a little exercise for your miserable performance, you shall be allowed to find out for yourselves how to get away from this. And remember, no one is allowed to recognize you" he said and Takumi's eyes widened in shock. He wanted to protest loudly, but by then the Sannin had disappeared, leaving the three of them, including the corpse, standing alone in the alley.

"So what now?" asked Sora, all eyes falling on him as he looked completely innocently at the two older kids. Takumi seriously wondered why the boy was still asking.

"Run, of course!" he shouted, getting ready to take off.

"What about the body?"

"Leave it."

Reluctantly, Sora separated himself from the corpse and let the other two pull him away. The sirens were getting closer, the bright blue light already illuminating the end of the streets and the older boy cursed.

"Can I kill them?" asked Sora loudly from behind him, pointing at the approaching carts.

"Hell, no!"

Sometime a few hours later, the three came slurping into the hideout, out of breath. Orochimaru had been expecting them, a cup of tea in his hand and a book on his lap, he smiled at the half-dead children before him.

"I.... hate you.... so..much...right..now" groaned Takumi, dropping down onto a nearby sofa, his face buried in the cushion.

"Why did you run, anyway?" the sannin asked, absolutely amused with the situation of seeing his three students so done. Takumi only made a sound that sounded like a mixture of an annoyed scream and an exhausted groan. Kyoko just smiled as she downed water bottle after water bottle, and Sora was similar to Takumi, collapsed on an armchair and about to fall asleep.

All three of them had no problem being in each other's presence. They had already been through enough bullshit together, as Takumi pointed out after the sannin had praised their teamwork for once. Said boy had made some changes in his personality. He was mentally stronger, didn't whine about every little thing, and he had also given up on his crush for Kyoko at some point. He had claimed she had taken on this big sister role, but you could see how much he still favored her at times.
