Zero Shinobies ( Shinobi Hunter Naruto)

ch 13

It quickly became clear to Rea and the others that the blond they'd taken such an interest in was in deep, deep trouble. Much more than they were expecting. But while any normal kid from the village or the academy would be flipping out over his charges and losing their cool, Naruto seemed to be taking everything being thrown at him in stride. Hell, he didn't even look angry in the slightest. It was almost as if he'd been expecting to face this kind of consequence with his actions, and that even the most harsh threats thrown by Rea's father weren't even fazing him one bit.

Even so, that didn't mean the scene was in any way pleasant to watch.

In fact it was downright painful.

Grunting, Naruto crossed his arms and looked away. "Whatever. Not like anyone will care if I'm expelled or not."

Flinching a little bit at the blonde's reply, Takeshi then breathed a heavy sigh before turning his attention back to Rea and Naomi. When his eyes fell on them, his expression softened. "It's getting really late now girls. I think you two should run home now."

The tanned Uchiha girl nodded in understanding. "Yes, sir."

"What are you going to do now, papa?" Rea asked, her voice a little broken up due to the aftershocks of what they'd just heard. Expulsion? From the academy? If there were any harsher punishment for a kid their age, she hadn't heard of it yet.

And her dad worked in a police station, of all places.

"I'm going to head back to my desk and finish up my paperwork," Takeshi replied while slipping a hand into his pocket and nodding towards the cell. "Thanks to this ruffian, I've got an extra twenty forms to fill out by tomorrow morning, so I probably won't be home till-"

Before the man could finish his sentence, the group suddenly heard a loud bang echo throughout the entire building, a split second before they were plunged into complete darkness. The sound caused the four girls to yelp and jump, with the Uchiha adult and Naruto looking up at the ceiling to see that all of the lights had gone out.

Crinkling his brow, the whiskered-boy looked across at the shinobi police officer. "What the heck was that?"

Takeshi clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Damn it. We must have blown a fuse again. I told that idiot Nasai to get those technicians from central to come in and check the-" At that moment the group suddenly heard a bloodcurdling scream fill the entire complex, causing the Uchiha to spin around and the children to freeze on the spot.

Eyes and ears opening wider than they ever had before, the group focused all of their attention in the direction that macabre noise had come from. It wasn't even five seconds later that the group then heard the tell-tale signs of battle echoing throughout the complex- metal clanging against metal, and the shouts and cries of men and women all over being cut down reverberating all about the building. At first it sounded like the chaos was taking place very far away.

But as the seconds ticked by, the noises started drawing closer and closer, indicating that whatever was happening had arrived on their level.

The sounds of the approaching horror caused the girls to break out into nervous sweats, with the timid Yuno stepping over and gripping Rea's shoulder fearfully. "W-What's happening?"

Rea instinctively looked up at her father, "Papa?"

Sharingan spinning into life, the shinobi in black took a brave and cautious step forward. "You girls keep quiet and stay here," Takeshi whispered, keeping his voice low as he reached over his shoulder and grasped the handle of his sword. "I'll go check that out. If you hear me cry out and things go silent, I want the four of you to run out the back door and don't stop until you reach the Hokage Tower. Do you understand me?"
