chapter 4

"Oi kid!" The guard yelled out his name, taking his attention. Akito didn't bother to look at the man and replied, "What?"

"You're out. Follow me,"

Akito stared at the guard with a blank face. "Am I hearing things correctly? Is my practice lacking?"

The guard, irked by his response, then shout, "Get out of here already, you brat! "

Akito shrugged and got onto his feet, following the guard. "It's not my fault you want me out so bad," he muttered.

The guard who heard his comment replied in a defeated tone, "You had caused chaos in every single department have especially the linguistics and psychiatry. Please just get out and don't cause any trouble."

"Why bother letting me out?" Akito asked in curiosity. They could've kept him and drilled information in and out of him, so why let him go?

"You're just annoying to deal with" was the man's reply. Akito didn't bother to correct the man's words. Most of the people he had befriends with or relatives say that to him, and it is true.

He continued following the guard from behind until they walked up to the spiralling stairs that went all the way up. Honestly, it felt like forever to get to the destination - who designed the tower?? He had complaints about the engineer and the architect.

Akito blanked out, only to be woken up again by the guard calling him to get into the office. He did as he told, standing in front of a table with a stack of paperwork. It reminds him of the teacher's room, filled with paperwork of students' assignments.

Not that he was a diligent student in his years. He was a delinquent who always scored average in exams, and with his reputation, he always got called to the teacher's room or the principals office. Well, he usually got suspended or detention by the end of it.

"Ahem!"

Akito blinked for a moment before looking at the person's eye in front of him. His eyes are as blue as the ocean, his hair is blonde, and he's wearing a cape.

Who wears a cape these days?

*whack! *

"Ouch! What was that for?!" Akito rubbed the top of his head. The guard had hit his head - not that strong, but it still hurts!

"You're spacing out for the 4th time, focus already!"

Akito gave him a glare while clenching his teeth. "well fuck you "

"Now, let's not fight" the blonde man with blue eyes said calmly. Akito looked at him with his usual resting bitch face.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Minato Namikaze, and I'm the 4th hokage." The blonde - Minato introduced himself with a smile on his face. Akito hated how cheery he looked. Why was the man happy anyway?

"I've heard a lot about you," Minato continued. "It seems most departments are eager to let you go based on the complaints I heard. You really went hard on your linguistics teacher, " He commented with a slight chuckle.

"Just get straight to the point. What do you want?" Akito said, annoyed with where this is going.

The guard glared at him, telling him to be respectful. Minato looked at Akito with interest - or better, curiosity.

" we will let you out, but in exchange, you must serve for this village in any kind of form you could." Minato told him.

"There must be more than this. You wouldn't just let things go my way. What if I escape? Or betray your trust?" Akito asked with suspicions.

"Well, if you dare to violate my orders, then let's see what will happen then." Minato answered vaguely.

Akito shrugged and wanted to be done with it immediately, so he agreed.

"I definitely haven't mastered your language very well- Repeat what you said again,"

Minato gave him a full-blown smile and repeated his previous statement.

"You will be staying with Daisuke Wataru, and he will be your guardian. Everything has been taken care of, and you will serve under this village."

Akito stared at Monato in desperation. "That guy? Really?" Akito said, pointing at the guard beside him. Daisuke- the guard who looked so done with Akito - also gave his hokage a look, begging him to say this was a joke

"Yes. Now this matter is settled, both of you can get going now. Fuwa san will explain to Daisuke more about this matter. No, Daisuke san, I will not change my mind about this, " Minato replied.

Daisuke out on his cold face and complied with his orders. Giving the hokage a salute, he grabbed Akito and walked out of the office.

Daisuke unlocked the door of their new home with a key given by Fuwa san. Both of them haven't exchanged words ever since they got out from the hokage's office.

Daisuke stepped inside the home, followed by Akito. There were 3 rooms, 2 bathrooms, and the living room. All of them are fully equipped.

"Go pick your room and change your clothes," Daisuke ordered.

"What's wrong with my clothes?" Akito asked, not that he was actually mad, but he did sound like he was.

Daisuke gave him a pointed look. "You're wearing a fucking loosened strait jacket"

"Fair enough" Akito commented back. "Is there any clothes for me, though ?"

There was silence between them for a moment. "So I don't have any clothes?" Akito questioned.

"The clothes shops are closed since it's nearly dusk, so I guess you'll just have to deal with it. Tomorrow, we'll buy equipment or things for you"

"No, it's too big for you

"But it's comfortable,"

The man sighed, "Just pick one that's your size. "

The elderly and mothers who saw them cooed at them, thinking that they were brothers.

Akito rolled his eyes and picked the clothes that actually fits him. The colour of his clothes was mostly shades of blue, green, and red since there wasn't any black colored.

Once they were done picking out clothes and pants for him, Daisuke went to a bookstore and bought some materials.

"Who is it for?"

Daisuke looked at him in the eyes with a glint. "Just because you got out, it doesn't mean you will be free from the lessons."

Akito gives out a tut in annoyance. "Who's teaching?"

Daisuke gives a shrug and paid for the materials.

Someone knocked on his door, and Daisuke gestured at Akito to open them and see who it was.

Akito gave him a middle finger before seeing who was at the door. It was two children and one guy standing behind them. The guy dressed with a flak jacket, and all three of them had their hitai-ate around their neck.

The man spoke up, "we're here for our D- rank job."

Akito looked confused, then he yelled for Daisuke's name.

"What?!"

"There's people!"

"Deal with it!"

"They said something about D- rank job!"

Then suddenly Daisuke was beside him, slapping the back of his head.

"Then say it earlier," he hissed. "Sorry for delay, come in. "

All three of the guests sweatdropped by both of their interaction.

"Mister, who are we teaching?" The only girl in the squad asked.

Daisuke pointed at Akito. "This kid."

"Stop calling me a kid, or I'll call you an old man,"

"My bad, I meant this brat,"

Akito attempted to kick him, but he missed.

Then he hears a scoff. "How old are you? Shouldn't you already know how to read and write?"

The girl hissed at his squadmate, "apologize to them, Jiiro! Be polite!"

"Sorry for his behaviour, we'll try our best to teach him," the girl bowed and apologised for his teammate behaviour.

"You kids are only allowed in the living room, got it? Akito, no flipping off or curse words, or I will give you to the yamanaka." Daisuke

"Even if you send me to them, I'll just break their sanity," Akito replied

"I take my words back. If you cause any trouble, even if it's one thing, I will send you to the main office."

Akito scrunched up his nose. "Hell no, they're bad at organising those files. If I see them putting those documents in the wrong section again, I'll lose my shit."

"Exactly, now play by my rules."

The two genins and the teacher sighed in defeat.

"For the last time, Akito. This character sounds different than this, and this character doesn't have an extra stroke up there. "

"Well, they all look the same for me. Just let it be,"

"You can't just let it be. It's because if you put it that way, then the sentence or the word will change its meaning, " the teacher replied.

Akito rolled his eyes. It was like learning his own languages all over again. "Fine, I'll fix it later. Now, can we proceed?"

A/N

Hello!! Honestly, I think I caught the author and AO3 curse because after I publish a few fanfic on ao3, I keep having problems. Anyways, I definitely pass maths and science, just got D and E for them. Sprained my wrist, now healed back, yay! Gonna move out soon. And the most important thing

I will be putting simple maths questions (the syllabus learned around the age 13-17 ), and if anyone can solve it, I'll update a new chapter immediately.
