Senran Kagura: The Runaway Shinobis
Chapter 1
The Sacred Crane Ninja Academy...not many know of the existence of this school, as it is deeply hidden in a sacred area in the mountains. Hearing information about is not easy to come across, as no one is meant to speak of it for the sake of it's safety. Even if you were lucky enough to learn of it, finding the school is the biggest challenge and once you do find it, you will be enrolled as a student automatically. You may be asking why is this school so secret and why it's best to keep it's existence is not known? It's because this school doesn't train Good or Evil Ninjas, instead they train those on the Neutral Side of things! This is somewhat unheard of and it may be considered taboo.
Regardless they still follow the many other rules of the ninja. Until one day, a top student has recently failed a mission and was meant to be executed, however he was able to get the slip away from some ninja followers.
It was a dark night, many footsteps can be heard as they dashed through. A young man with short purple hair ran for his life as he was being followed by pursuing ninjas.
"Do not let him get away!" A shinobi officer yelled out.
"I won't be going down that easy. You're dealing with a top student!" The young purple haired youth exclaimed as he continued to run from his followers. There were 5 of them and he may be able to escape from them and get to safety...wherever that may be. One of the following ninjas threw shuriken toward him, but he was able to evade those with great ease by jumping into the trees and jumped from branch to branch.
The purple haired boy was able to get himself distance from his followers and used this as time to set up a trap. He placed his backpack down and looked for supplies, "Ok I have to make this quick, I don't have much time..." he anxiously looked at what he had and was able to think of an idea.
The 5 pursuing ninjas lost sight of the purple runaway, they didn't separate knowing he may be able to defeat each of them if they did so. After a few seconds, the purple haired boy jumped from the trees and was spotted!
"There! After him!" The ninjas immediately took action, 3 were able to get ahead while 2 stood in the back. One of them landed on a tree branch and proceeded along with his companions, unfortunately a giant net came out of nowhere and landed on the 3 and they were pinned down. There was no time for the remaining 2 to set them free as their target was getting away.
"Damn! Two of them were able to avoid the trap. Hmmm, I may have to resort to...that." The purple haired ninja observed from behind another tree, but ran as fast as he could, but it wasn't long until the last 2 were able to catch up to him and cornered him into a dead end. One pulled out kunai and the other pulled out a chained scythe preparing to kill him.
"It's over kid. This is the way of the shinobi and you must pay the price."
"This will end quickly."
The 2 dashed straight toward him, but the young man was not going down that easy. He placed his hands together and extended 2 fingers, forming a ninja sign and called out: "SECRET NINJA ART: Crane's Aura!" A bright flash of light appeared and blinded the 2 ninjas and they were flown backwards and felt as if they were hit by something big. The light died down and the young man they were after was nowhere to be found, he escaped. This wouldn't end well for them as they will be getting an earful from their superiors. However, the young boy that they were sent to assassinate is not out of the woods yet, as he will have others after him no matter what.
Few Days Later...
It was a nice day, and students began to enter the school of Hanzo Academy, people walked around and were talking amongst friends, and entered a new student that no one had seen before. He entered the school grounds wearing the uniform, a white buttoned shirt, blue tie, and blue pants, he was carrying a shoulder bag very close to his side and he walked with his head slightly down, making him seem kind of shy and nervous.
"Ok, here I am. As of today, I leave my old life behind and start a new one. No one is to know I am a ninja runway or anything. But I must still stay on my guard-" before he can finish his thoughts, the new student ran into a tree that was on school grounds. He fell back and lied on the ground for a bit, some students were concerned, while others laughed thinking it was funny.
"Um, excuse me, are you ok?" a young voice could be heard asking. A hand was felt touching the boy's shoulder trying to wake him up. The young man groaned a little and slowly opened his eyes, his vision was a little blurred, but he managed to make out what he saw, he saw a cute girl with short brown hair tied into a ponytail and hazel eyes. She looked into the boys bright red eyes "Hello, do you need help?" She asked in a worried tone.
"Oh, uh, no need!" The flustered youth said as he quickly got on his feet and stood up straight and tall. He was a little embarrassed because of what just happened and he was actually nervous around people. "I-I'm new here. My name is Hiroshi, 2nd year, it's nice to m-meet you." He greeted himself and bowed down to her, hoping to also hide his blush, hoping she didn't notice. "It's very nice to meet you, Hiroshi, I'm Asuka. I'm a 2nd year too and I'm sure you'll like it here." She finished talking and things seemed to have calmed down, once he looked up, she asked if he needed help looking for his class and offered to show him around the school. Hiroshi took her offer and he was shown all over the school ground, and he liked what he was shown.
"This is a wonderful place. Maybe I won't be found out so easily after all." Hiroshi thought to himself, Asuka walked next to him and gave him a warm smile "So Hiroshi, um, if you don't mind my asking but do you have any family you stay with or anything?" The girl asked in innocence. "Oh well, I live alone, my family lives far away. I want to be more independent and this is the best way to do so." Hiroshi said with a smile answering her question earlier. "Oh I see, well I hope you have a nice time here."
Hiroshi had a big smile on his face and nodded. "I can already tell I'm going to like it here. I hope I can make plenty of friends too." The boy was very honest and Asuka definitely had a good feeling about him. "Well, you have one already. I'd love to be your first friend here Hiroshi. We're both 2nd-years, so it would be fitting." The young brunette explained with much compassion and kindness. Seeing the smile on her face and seeing her kindness, Hiroshi couldn't reject such an offer and agreed. Before the 2 could continue talking, the bell had rung, it was time for class.
The young girl walked off saying her goodbyes hoping to see him again. Hiroshi let out a breath of relief as she fell for the obvious lie he told about his family. He noted that she seemed nice and may be an actual true friend, but he was rather curious about the red scarf she had around her neck. It didn't seem like the school had anything against students modifying their uniforms, maybe that was the case. But he was getting some interesting feeling about her, maybe there is just something special about her.
"Well enough of that now. It's time for my first day of class at my new school. Alright….here we go."
Later That Day...
Classes have ended for the day and Hiroshi had got past the day with no issue and he was ready to go home and take a nice rest, but first he went to a convenience store to pick up a few things. After he left, he managed to get to his home which wasn't that far from the school, he placed his key into the door and unlocked the door "Angelo, I'm home boy!" out of nowhere a small little dog appeared and jumped into Hiroshi's arms and licked his face. "Hey boy, did you miss me? I missed you." Angelo was Hiroshi's pet dog who was his constant companion and was a skilled ninja dog, Angelo also escaped The Sacred Crane Ninja Academy, but they did so apart as Angelo was a skilled pooch and could do many things alone. "Ok pal, lets have some dinner and go out for a walk."
Hiroshi and Angelo finished their dinner and went out for a little walk. Hiroshi was listening to music on his headphones as they walked, but he kept his guard up in case someone tried to sneak up on the 2 of them. As they got a good distance in, Angelo suddenly stopped and began to growl which caught Hiroshi's attention.
"Huh? What's the matter buddy? Is there something wron-"
Before he could continue, Hiroshi felt something, it was something that gave the both of them bad vibes. They looked around to make sure there weren't any witnesses, and proceeded to jump onto the nearby rooftops.
"What is this I'm feeling? It doesn't seem like any of those shinobi hunting me down have found me, so what is it?"
Angelo began barking and pointed with his nose in one direction and Hiroshi looked and saw other shinobi on a far off building! This surprised both Hiroshi and Angelo, they didn't expect to see other shinobi so soon and it didn't seem like they were after the 2 and seem to be fighting amongst each other.
Hiroshi didn't want to get involve but he was to curious about what was going on. Angelo and him decided to conceal their presence to make sure they weren't found out. They proceeded to the far off building and saw a fight between 5 female ninjas, apparently they were slightly outnumbered by a group of other female ninjas who seemed to be stopping them.
"Surrender now and we may go easy on you!" One of the ninjas proclaimed
"We will not, we were given orders to reclaim the stolen property." A long black haired girl replied while wielding a katana. Apparently these 5 were on an important mission, Hiroshi took a close look at each of them, it was a little hard to tell due to it being so dark, but all of the 5 looked like students, so they were just like him, which caught his attention.
"If you do not surrender, we shall use force!" Another adversary explained
"Well that's fine! I've been waiting to for someone to say that, I was getting bored just standing around!" A tall blonde girl said with much enthusiasm while cracking her knuckles, clearly ready for a fight. The other girls also seemed pretty ready for battle, minus one who seemed like a small timid girl. Hiroshi couldn't help but shake the feeling, but the felt worried about her.
A battle began between the 5 girls and the many others that outnumbered them. Slashes, punches, kicks, and many other attacks happened all over the place. The 5 girls were doing a decent job and took down many of their opponents, even the small girl took down some enemies, even though her fighting style was rather odd. Hiroshi took an interest in the girl who used martial arts kicks to defeat her enemies, but he also was amazed by the one girl with long white pigtails who used an umbrella that had hidden blades within it, she was definatly a tough opponent and she was constantly protecting the small pink haired girl, she must have been very worried about her.
But what really took the cake was a girl who was using 2 twin blades to fend off her opponents, she was very fast and her attacks were quit energetic, Hiroshi was very impressed by her skills. The girls took down a good number of their opponents, but some of the enemies that got taken down recovered! Apparently it was all a ruse to get the girls to let their guards down, each of them were taken down with no issue whatsoever.
"No, this can't be, I-I have to do something...I can't stand by and watch." Hiroshi stood up and pulled out a ninja scroll that was hidden in his clothes, and he raised it above his head and yelled out: "SHINOBI TENSHIN!"
