Chapter 22

                                    

                                          
"Where the hell am I?"
Naruto rubbed her head as the darkness, clouding her vision, faded away. It seemed to be an uneven territory, almost reminding her of broken buildings. She nibbled her bottom lip as her hands trembled slightly at the sight of the various villains surrounding them. The numbers seemed to be greater than she thought, probably around fifteen people surrounding them.
She blinked when a pair of large hands stretched out towards her. Lifting her head up, Naruto sighed at the sight of a smiling Kirishima. Right next to the boy was Bakugou, whose hands were already crackling up with explosives and his whole body trembling with excitement. She inhaled deeply, placed her hand on Kirishima's stretched out hand and yanked herself up.
"Look at these brat students!" One of the villains sneered, eyes leaking with joy and his hand clutching a weapon so tightly to his chest. Naruto clicked her tongue, darted her eyes around and glanced at the two boys by her side.
"How the hell did we get here?" Kirishima demanded. His hands seemed to hardened, almost looking like a bunch of sharp rocks pressed together into one blade.
"Bastard scattered us," Bakugou reminded them. "Whiskers, don't make any of those shitty clones. There is fifteen of them, three of us; so do the math."
Naruto swirled her head, raised her eyebrows and almost smiled at the mad glint shining through Bakugou's red eyes. Explosive Head wanted to test himself, wanted to show off his skills and thought her clones would not give him the opportunity. She snorted. Bakugou was good when it came to fights and it would be a waste of chakra for her to waste it on these guys.
"Arrogant asshole," Naruto declared.
Bakugou snorted. "Call me whatever you want Whiskers but it would be a waste of your time to waste your Quirk like that. These small fries don't deserve to be graced by your clones!"
"Those wannabe Heroes are mocking us!" Another villain yelled.
"Get 'em!"
Like a bunch of lioness, the villains charged straight at them. Several of them flew straight towards her, arms swinging and eyes blazing with fury at the words spoken by her classmate. Naruto pinched her nose, ducking and dodging as multiple arms swung at her. She grabbed hold of the villain, twisting him around till his bone cracked into tiny pieces.
She tossed him like a bag to the wall, lips pressed into an innocent smile as the wall behind him cracked and tumbled into tiny pieces. It tumbled down, slamming into the villain's leg and the man screamed, his voice echoing throughout the whole area. Naruto flipped her head around, swung her leg around like a whirlpool and sent the next two villains flying through the air.
"Damn, remind me not to get on your bad side, Uzumaki!" Kirishima declared. Just behind him a villain approached, hands reaching out to grab him and Naruto charged straight at him. Her hands curled into a fist, coiled up and released the moment she was face to face with her classmate. Her fist smashed the man straight to the ground, causing the ground beneath them to rumble at the strength of the attack.
"We should focus on defeating these son of bitches and then you can talk about my abilities," Naruto leaned to the left, stuck out her leg and shook her head when the villain tripped over her leg. Kirishima laughed, shaking his head and swirled his body around, both hands now sharpening into sharp edges.
Explosives went off all around them as Bakugou smashed through the villains heading his way. Naruto flickered her eyes to her opponent and then to her grinning classmate. She grabbed hold of the Villain's arm, sprung around and swung him towards Bakugou.
The blond-haired boy held out his palm, crackles of explosives bubbling up before being released into one long shot aimed at the Villain's stomach. The villain slumped down, eyes closed and a whimper escaped from his lips. It was almost like she was in a team again. But a team where she could rely on all the members to pick themselves up and doesn't need someone to save their ass.
