The four of you were in the staff room, getting your belongings together from the lockers.

"We owe Sensei one, now." Shikadai spoke up.

"We can't let Shino Sensei lose face. We'll take care of our on-the-job training first, then catch the ghost." Boruto said, squeezing his armband.

"To be honest, that's what you should've done from the beginning, but..."

"SHUT UP!!" You just shrugged.

"Shino sensei believes in us, so now we can't let him down or fuck up. If we wanna solve this, we can't be reckless— Boruto." Your stare was directed at him.

"Why are you looking at me...?" He sweat dropped.

"Because out of all of us, you're an idiot."

"You don't have to be so mean!!"

~
The four of you walked out into the main room, bags ready. Even though you did your job correctly, Kamame lumped you in with them anyways. Something about 'collective responsibility' or some shit like that.

"But won't that Bureau Chief be mad at us?" Mitsuki spoke.

"I forgot about him..." Boruto gasped.

"If we're assigned menial jobs again, we won't be able to do our patrol." You punched him upside the head.

"Stop being so dramatic, dammit." You said, brow twitching.

"Are you still dilly-dallying around here?" You heard a voice ask. The four of you turned around to see Kamame standing there.

"You should have started your deliveries ages ago!" He scolded.

"We can deliver the mail?" Shikadai asked.

"Thank Tayori." He replied, gazing moving over towards the young man. The rest of you followed his gaze. He was standing no more than ten feet away.

"He begged me to let you deliver the mail with him." He added.

"Tayori did?" Boruto repeated.

"Welp, that was a mistake, and we're probably going to let him down again, cause we're a bunch of walking disappointments wrapped in skin." You said. The four of them just stared at you, perplexed.

"What? You gonna say it's not true?"

"Deliver carelessly again and, even if this is workplace experience or whatnot, you'll be fired!" He warned, pointing a finger at all of you.

"I TOLD YOU I DID MY JOB PERFECTLY YOU FUCKING WALNUT LOOKING ASS—"

~
"You have our gratitude, ya know!" Boruto said as you, him, and Shikadai bowed to Tayori.

"You chose this job for an important reason, didn't you?" He inquired, a soft smile on his face. You straightened up.

"It's not a flashy job, but if there's anything I can do, I'm glad to help." He gave you four a closed eyed smile.

"Yes, yes! You'll be a great help!" Boruto exclaimed.

"Like joining in on our ritualistic sacrifices!"

"..."

"..."

"Well fuck you guys, guess that's only me."

"Today, we'll be in charge of route #2." Tayori said, pointing at a map that had streets highlighted.

"It's different from the last time?" Boruto inquired.

"It may be called a village, but it's very vast. Our postal system is divided into four teams and every day, we take turns delivering mail along four routes." Tayori explained.

"So, other than this route, the rest are blind spots." Mitsuki pointed out.

"Way to kill the mood, assfart." You said quietly.

"But without Boruto's eye, we can't see the Ghost." Shikadai added as an afterthought.

"What are you talking about?" Tayori asked. Boruto then had a genius idea. He crossed his fingers and created three clones.

"How's this?" He asked.

"No way, no way, no way." A clone said.

"We can't put that much distance between you." The other one.

"Yeah, we have to be able to see you." The other clone shrugged.

"What?" The original Boruto asked, pointing at the clone.

"Don't you know the saying, 'where there's a will, there's a way'?!"

Can't you create clones?

'Yeah.'

...

...

...

Then... why don't you summon them?

'Because fuck you that's why.'

That's fucking rude.

'That's what the government wants you to think.'

What the fu—

Boruto's clones poofed away soon after.

"You're so useless!" He exclaimed in frustration.

"Didn't you know? That's some boomerang effect." Shikadai said casually.

"Not since the accident." You added seriously.

"What?"

~
You four chucklefucks managed to deliver the mail (like you were supposed to) after Tayori gave you instructions.

"Hello sir." You greeted, holding out a small package to him.

"Here's your mail." He snatched it out of your hand and spat on the ground.

"Whatever brat."

Oh no...

Here we go.

"UHHHHHHHHH..." You exclaimed, which made him stop and squint at you angrily.

"Shut yo skin tone chicken bone google chrome no home flip phone disowned ice cream cone garden gnome extra chromosone metronome dimmadome genome full blow monochrome student load Indiana Jones overgrown flint stone x and y hormone friend zone Sylvester Stallone Sierra Leone auto zone professionally seen silver patrone head ass up." By the time you were done, he had died of old age.

"REVIVE AND LISTEN TO ME YOU INCONVENIANT FIRE DRILL!!!!" Yo grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt and shook his skeleton roughly.

H-hey, Hime? Maybe you should be a little lighter on him?

'SHUT YOUR HEADASS UP COW, YOU FUCKING WHORE!'

TT~TT

Damn that's harsh.

~
"Okay, break's over!" Boruto exclaimed, standing up from the bench.

"Y-yes." Tayori agreed.

"But shouldn't we wait for Mitsuki to come back from shopping?" He inquired.

"I wonder how far he went." Shikadai spoke.

"Proably slithered down a sewer to the underground market and is trying to find out if the moon really is a hologram and we're living in a simulation created by the government." You shrugged lightly, eyes closed.

"What the heck, Y/n?" Boruto spoke.

"What?" You defended.

"It could be true!"

"I don't think it is..." Shikadai said nervously. His attention then turned over to Boruto.

"Listen, Boruto." He said. Said boy turned to him.

"No matter how impatient you get, if a ghost doesn't show, it's not gonna show. Just suck it up."

"Yeah, Boruto, quit being a little bitch." You said with a chuckle. The two just sweatdropped at you.

"Boruto! Shikadai! Y/n!" You heard Mitsuki call.

"Mitsuki!" Boruto said back. The young Slytherin swung down from the high roof by his arms and landed in front of you three.

"Looks like the Ghost's appeared again." He said.

"Where's the location?" Boruto quickly asked.

Too late again.

Unfortunate.

Ja ne!
