10-year Reunion!


Summary of the past 10 years:

After getting acquainted with his new living arrangement, Michael had received a new outlook on life, and became more cheerful in general. He, of course, was reeducated in the art of being a functional shinobi, but the only reason that he agreed at all to it was because Asuka's presence during his time there.

After 3 years of this training regimen, Michael was able to excel in both physical and mental training and was eligible able to attend Hanzou National Academy at a young age.

He was considered a prodigy from that day on and was able to officially become a ninja at the age of 15, since then he's been taken in by a well-known Black Operative Ninja squad.


"You damn monkey! Get back here!"

Running on the sea bus leading to Tokyo was a 19-year-old teen with dark skin unruly, black spikey hair and red pupils, he wore a short sleeved black hoodie with black jeans and green sneakers, and on his forehead, were a pair of sunglasses. Slung over his back was a single strapped backpack holding all of his essential belongings.

He was chasing after a small white-furred monkey holding a picture of someone in its mouth.

"Mochi, you better get back here! If I catch you myself, I'm going to tie you up to my backpack as a keychain and leave you there to hang!" The teen shouted and consistently got closer to catching the monkey.

[Attention passengers! The Sea Bus has arrived in Tokyo! Please make your way to docks on both the right and left sides of the Bus.]

"Crap! No, no, no, no!" The teen spotted the monkey near a large group of people leaving the bus. The monkey was tiny enough to slip through the crowd and head off on its own without getting spotted.

"Hey, Mochi, my boy! Don't do anything irritational pal. Look, I'm not mad anymore see?" The teen held his shaking fist behind his back.

The monkey looked curiously at the teen as he approached it.

"Yeah, no need to run, so come over here to me…" The teen beckoned the monkey over, but widened his eyes as the monkey tested that statement by slightly ripping the picture.

"Why you little piece of sh-!" And with that, the monkey fled through the crowd and into the large city of Tokyo.

Pinching his temples, the teen groaned, "Oy vey…Looks like meeting up with her will have to be put on hold…"


In Hanzo National Academy, Asuka was already the age of 16 and a 2nd year student, she wore the official Hanzo Academy uniform with a white ribbon keeping her hair in a bound and a red scarf around her neck.

"Hm…?" Asuka checked her wrist watch, worriedly, then checked out the clock above.

'What's taking him? He said he'd be near the Asakusa district by now.' Asuka frowned, 'No matter, I'll just finish preparing his lunch for him before he arrives.'

Organizing a bento box full of futomaki rolls that she placed an extra amount of care into making, Asuka gently sighed to herself and couldn't help but feel elated to know that she'll be reuniting with her childhood friend.

However, these feelings would soon turn into pleasure once a pair of hands came from behind and rabidly groped her breasts.

"N-No! Katsuragi-nee!" Asuka cried, trying to break away from her senior's grasp.

"It's okay, Asuka! Rubbing these babies mean they'll grow bigger~!"

Katsuragi cooed fondling Asuka's breasts faster.

"But I don't want them to grow bigger!" Asuka moaned.

"Too bad~!" Katsuragi laughed.

This blonde girl is named Katsuragi, she is a 17-year-old third year in Hanzo with long haired blonde with blue greenish eyes and wears the same uniform as Asuka but in a revealing manner with her buttons undone to reveal her cleavage.

"Katsuragi-san, could you please refrain from being your usual self, today?" Ikaruga coughed from behind the perverted blonde while being covered with a deadly aura.

"Fine..." Katsuragi sighed and released her victim...for now that is.

"Thank you, Ikaruga-san!" Asuka bowed.

"No worries." Ikaruga smiled sweetly to her underclassmen.

This woman is named Ikaruga, a young beautiful woman with a dignified facial expression, long black hair with blue eyes and is about 18 years old as a 3rd year in Hanzo Academy and also the descendant of a prestigious ninja clan.

"So Asuka, what are you doing?" Katsuragi smiled.

"You see, I'm making a bento box for an old friend of mine, who's visiting. I've been preparing it since last night and I really want it to look perfect." Asuka explained while wrapping said box in a pink cloth.

"Ooooooooh~! An old friend is she sexy?" Katsuragi grinned.

"Katsuragi-san." Ikaruga scolded.

"What, can't a girl be curious?" Katsuragi winked, "So is she?"

"Well, it's not a she. It's more of a he." Asuka blushed, "And he's sort of a full-fledged ninja."

"Really? That's impressive." Ikaruga said interested in Asuka's friend now.

"But that still peeks my curiosity. Is "he" sexy or what?" Katsuragi asked once again.

"Um, well, I..." Asuka trailed off until her eyes caught sight of two girls entering through the hidden entrance to the classroom, "Oh, Hi Hibari-chan, Yagyuu-chan!"

"Changing the subject, eh?" Katsuragi said in interest.

"Please don't pry any further." Ikaruga sighed.

"No promises." Katsuragi snickered.

"Hey, everyone! Look at what I found!" Hibari, a young cute 15-year-old girl, who was enlisted in Hanzo National Academy as a 1st year student. She has short pink hair with 3 ribbons as the two ribbons make twin ponytails as she too also wore the Hanzo academy uniform.

"Hibari, please relax, or you'll fall again." Yagyuu said to the energetic girl.

Yagyuu was a young 15-year-old girl about the same age as Hibari, she has red eye color long white hair put in twintails with black ribbons while she too wore the similar Hanzo academy uniform.

"Hibari-chan and Yagyuu-chan your finally back!" Asuka smiled to the pair.

"How was your mission surveying the area?" Ikaruga smiled.

"It wasn't difficult, but we suffered to a few accidents." Yagyuu sighed.

"I'm sorry, I got too excited and ruined everything…again." Hibari bowed her head, tearfully.

"I think I know of a way to apologize to us, Hibari." Katsuragi smiled.

"H-Huh? Really how, Katsuragi-nee?" Hibari asked.

"You can let me feel up your breasts. It will be more of an apology than just saying you're sorry." Katsuragi gave perverted gesture with her hands.

"If you wish to keep those filthy hands of yours, then I suggest that you don't." Yagyuu threatened in a calm fashion.

"Urk...! Sorry!" Katsuragi gulped stopping herself before it was too late.

"You should be careful, Katsu-nee, Yagyuu is always protecting Hibari like those who are in a couple would do." Asuka smiled.

"C-couple?" Yagyuu blushed.

"Yeah, Yagyuu is so nice to me and she's my bestest friend in the whole world!" Hibari hugged the blushing girl.

"Right, you're my best friend too." Yagyuu pats Hibari on the head.

"So why were you so happy, Hibari?" Katsuragi asked.

"I found this cute monkey. Look!" Hibari pulled out a white furred Monkey from her uniform top. The monkey shivered and looked around the room in fright not knowing where it was.

"Aww, it's so cute." Asuka cooed over the monkey.

"We found it running around the street completely lost." Yagyuu explained.

"It does look quite adorable." Ikaruga smiled at the little creature, that was afraid of its surroundings.

The monkey, then caught sight of Asuka and pulled out the picture it was holding to compare it to her before leaping into her large cleavage happily, somehow locking onto its target.

"Huh?" Asuka gasped.

"It seems Mr. Monkey also wants a chance at rubbing Asuka's breasts." Katsuragi laughed.

"Please don't say such lewd things." Ikaruga sighed.

"Oh, no…its shivering. Poor thing." Asuka sighed cradling the baby monkey.

"Did I scare it?" Hibari sniffed about to cry.

"No, Hibari relax. It must have just been startled by being lost." Yagyuu rubs the girl's back.

"Hey, Asuka, I think it's my turn to have a crack at you. This time, I think it's fair play since the monkey got a crack at you!" Katsuragi grinned approaching the girl.

"N-No!" Asuka cried not wanting to experience any more sexual harassment, until a smoke bomb appears bursting into a giant cloud of smoke. The girls coughed as a middle-aged man with silver hair and brown eyes while wearing a black suit.

"Why are you all causing so much noise?" the man sighed.

"Sorry, Kiriya-sensei."

The girls bowed to the man, who was their shinobi mentor, and a former shinobi himself. He trains these 5 girls to be first rate ninjas in the future and is a teacher at Hanzo National Academy.

"Please keep it down, this isn't my day at all." Kiriya sighed.

"What's wrong Sensei?" Ikaruga asked.

"A special guest came into the city, and I've been unprepared to introduce him to all of you and the worst part of it is that he's been around town searching for something." Kiriya sighed as he turns around and said, "Please stay here and be patient."

Kiriya does a hand sign and disappears in a puff of smoke.

"So Asuka tell us more about that friend of yours." Katsuragi smiled.

"Well, he's just been a friend. That's it, and I want to make this lunch for the two of us, I-I mean if he wants to eat it himself, he could. I wouldn't have a p-problem with it." Asuka blushed as she finished preparing the box full of sushi.

"Oh, is that a blush I see?" Katsuragi teased.

"N-No! I'm just very tired from all the cooking." Asuka tried to hide her embarrassment.

"Asuka-san, I would like to know. What is your friend like as a ninja?" Ikaruga smiled, interested in the shinobi part of her friend's old friend.

"Well, he's an exceptional one if that's easy to clarify. He has been trained by my grandfather as his first successful pupil these past few decades." Asuka explained.

"Are you serious? He was trained by your grandfather, Asuka-chan?" Hibari gasped as Yagyuu looked at Asuka a little intrigued by the conversation.

"Yeah, it was brutal, but he was able to finish it way faster than me, and learned more advanced stuff that Grandpa wouldn't even consider showing me."

Asuka sighed, having remembered being sad that day knowing that with his basic training finished, he was fully prepared to apply at Hanzo academy. The one factor for their separation.

"Can you at least tell us what he looks like?" Hibari asked.

"Well, I can't. He might look entirely different now, then when he was back then." Asuka blushed.

"Then can you at least tell us one moment you had with him?" Katsuragi grinned.

"A moment?" Asuka was caught off guard.

"Just so we can paint a vivid image of him in our heads." Yagyuu nodded.

"Well..." Asuka blushed while smiling remembering a specific day.


10 years ago


In the training grounds near Asuka's home, the girl was being preyed upon by a furious bear about 10 feet high. She was on the ground ensnared by a stray root trying to pry herself free.

"Aaaaahh!" Asuka cried in fear as the Bear raised its paw ready to deal the finishing blow.

"Grrrgh!" A loud yell in pain filled the forest.

Suddenly a heavy splatter of blood spilt onto the ground as some still flowed around the beast's claws. Asuka looked up to see that it wasn't her blood, but the blood of the one who protected her.

"Damn it all!" Michael hissed as his right arm was bleeding badly and probably broken from the blow's impact

"M-Michael-kun!" Asuka cried out.

"How dare you try and hurt Asuka-san! I'll send you straight to hell!"

Michael stated as his eyes turned lusterless, the bear roared and swung its claws at Michael's head. The boy quickly moved to the right, easily dodging the attack and stabbed his entire hand through the beast's chest impaling its heart.

"Farewell." Michael pulled out his hand as the bear fell lifelessly beside him. Michael turned around to face at Asuka as his eyes returned to normal, he sighed and helped the girl up from the vine.

"Thanks, Michael-kun, you saved me." Asuka smiled until she received a slap to the face.

"W-Why would you-?"

She was about to cry from the unexpected slap, usually Michael was gentler with her, but that startled her more than the bear attack itself. But when she looked at the slapper she gasped, "M-Michael-kun?"

"Y-You idiot! Why did you come out here all alone! You should know how dangerous it is to go out on your own, but you still didn't bother to ask me to come with you!" Michael cried grabbing Asuka by the shoulders and shaking her,

"If I weren't here to save you, then what!?" Michael's eyes teared up as they show a hint of loss, "If you were to die, then I would be lonely again and I wouldn't want to live anymore! I wouldn't know what to do with myself anymore!"

Asuka gasped at the comment.

"Idiot! Stupid! Moron!" Michael cried as he hugged Asuka tightly, "I don't want to lose you, Asuka-san! You're my first friend, so please, promise me you won't die before I do."

Without him noticing, Asuka was blushing like mad from the boy's embrace and slowly nodded while tears also streamed down her cheeks and said, "I promise."


Present

"Ever since then, I always wanted to repay him back for always helping me whenever I screwed up. By becoming a ninja myself, I thought that repaying him by protecting his life and being by his side would be possible." Asuka blushed happily until she realizes what she said,

"I-I mean I just want to pay him back for helping me and go on missions with him."

"Aw, that was so sweet." Ikaruga wiped a few tears away with a handkerchief.

"Yeah, I guess, but did you two did anything sexual?" Katsuragi grinned.

"N-No, that would be wrong!" Asuka screamed, "Well, anyways please don't say anything more about what I told you! It's really a private memory of mine, and I don't want it to spread around like a rumor."

"I promise not to tell anyone!" Hibari smiled as she zipped her lips closed.

"I, too, will keep this a secret." Ikaruga smiled.

"Me, three! I won't tell a soul." Katsuragi grinned knowing her friend's secret is safe with her.

Yagyuu nodded while smiling with her calm expression she seemed pretty trustable in a situation like this.

"Thanks, everyone." Asuka sighed as the monkey quickly perked up and jumped away from her and ran to hide.

"I guess it didn't like Asuka-san too." Yagyuu commented.

"Mochi! Hey, Mochi! Where are you! I know that you're in here! You don't think I can hear your adorable little feet pattering around!?" An enraged voiced filled the hallways leading to the classroom.

"T-that voice!" Asuka gasped.

"Wait, if someone else is here. That must mean they're a ninja, too, right?" Hibari squealed, "Does that mean, we all get to meet Asuka san's friend?"

"I believe so, but he sounds…angered." Yagyuu smiled.

"Jeez, this place has changed since I left. I guess sensei must have spruced things up since I was gone." The voice came closer into the main classroom.

"He's almost here. Asuka, quick prepare your bento box quick!" Ikaruga whispered, but caught Asuka staggering back with her cheeks flushing red. After hearing his voice for the first time in forever, she noticed how deep it's gotten, and that made Asuka realized that it changed and probably so did he.

These thoughts racing through her head gave her cold feet.

"O-On second thought, I can't do this! I have to hide." Asuka panicked about to flee.

"No, you don't! Embrace your reunion! Embrace IT!" Katsuragi pounced on the girl and "Accidentally" groped her chest.

"Kyaaaaaaa! N-no, Katsu-nee!" Asuka cried out.

"It's okay, you'll thank me for this later." Katsuragi smiled.

"Ikaruga-san?" Asuka looks at Ikaruga, who simply smiles and nods. For the first time she was weirdly agreeing with Katsuragi for once.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Let me out of here~!" Asuka broke free and began to make a run for it.

"Quick grab her!" Katsuragi growled.

"Resistance is futile…!" Yagyuu grunted as she grabbed Asuka's right arm.

"Do not retreat yet, Asuka. You can still make it! Just keep looking forward until you face your goal!" Ikaruga grabbed Asuka's other arm.

"Yeah, yeah…hold her just like that…!" Katsuragi grunted and fondled Asuka's breasts.

"W-What are you even restraining!?" Asuka squealed.

"I-I'll help too, everyone! Yah!" Hibari leapt at the group.

"N-No, Hibari-san, look out!" The girls were screaming once Hibari crashed into them.

"The hell was that noise…hello?" the teen peered his head out from the hallway and into the classroom to see the sight of pinned down Asuka and a few girls with her.

"Is this a bad time?" Michael said looking at the group of women.

"N-No, it's not. In fact, this is a great time. Now isn't that right, Asuka?" Ikaruga helped herself and Asuka up on their feet.

"I-I-I-I-!" Asuka was stuck stuttering as she gazed at her old friend, Michael's older visage.

"Asuka?" Michael said in surprise before he noticed something crawling towards the hallway at the corner of his eye, "Mochi?"

The monkey trembled in fear as it tried to crawl away before Michael grabbed and stuffed the monkey into his jacket and allowed its head to pop out and look up at him.

"I may be still mad at you for taking the photo, but don't run off like that next time, okay?" Michael groaned as the monkey nodded.

"Hey…Asuka. You didn't tell me that your childhood friend was this cute." Katsuragi drops sashays her way over to Michael, "Why hello there, handsome."

"H-Huh?" Michael was taken back by the compliment.

"My name is Katsuragi, but for you I wouldn't mind being called anything else." Katsuragi smiled, leaning herself into Michael.

"I'm sorry, but you're in my personal space." Michael smiled nervously.

"Well, then, I guess I'll have to make it our personal space then, right tiger?" Katsuragi grinned as Michael sweatdropped.

"Yeah, but isn't it still my private space to begin with?" Michael asked, but the girl was swiftly pulled back by an annoyed Ikaruga, who then faced Michael.

"You need better manners when greeting a guest, Katsuragi-san." Ikaruga sighed, then smiled as she put her hand forward, "Salutations, I am Ikaruga, 3rd year class representative, it is a pleasure to me you."

"Back at ya, but you don't have to speak so formal. I'm more of a relaxed type of guy then." Michael smiled.

"Alright, I shall now proceed to talking to you in a formal manner." Ikaruga bowed and walked back to the group.

'She's still being way too polite.' Michael sweatdropped.

"Hello!" Hibari hopped up to Michael, "My name is Hibari, nice to meet you!"

"Oh, hi Hibari, nice to meet you, too. My name is Michael Sarutobi, a pleasure." Michael pats Hibari's head, then looks over to see Yagyuu watching in a protective kind of fashion, and walks over to her.

"Hello, my name is Michael Sarutobi." Michael held out his hand, "What's your name?"

"Yagyuu." Yagyuu gave a small nod and cautiously shook his hand, she still took caution around Michael since was still a guy, and he could do something sexual with Hibari, so she's trying to keep her cool and be ready to take him out.

"Nice to meet you, Yagyuu. I hope we get along." Michael grinned.

Yagyuu nodded.

"Now to you…Asuka?" Michael noticed Asuka crawling away, and she noticed him looking at her as she fumbled her way up on her knees panicking.

"Wait, I can explain this! I-I just fell over, and-!" Asuka tried to lie about her situation until a hand was pointed at her to help her up.

"Come on." Michael smiled as Asuka breathed out a sigh of relief and took his hand as he helped her up, "There we go."

"H-Hello, Michael-kun, its…nice to see you again." Asuka smiled looking Michael up and down before looking away out of embarrassment, "You've *COUGH!* really grown up."

"Really, Asuka-san? I think I'm still growing, but as for you, I think you've grown up these past years." Michael grinned.

"Y-You think I've changed that much?" Asuka blushed thinking Michael meant her body's change.

"Yeah, you're way stronger than when we were kids." Michael grinned as Asuka deadpanned on the ground.

"That's what you meant?" Asuka sighed.

"Yeah, your strength has increased." Michael smiled brightly, "Now let me introduce you to..." Michael pointed to the monkey resting its head on the collar of his jacket.

"So, this monkey was yours?" Asuka gasped.

"Yeah, his name is Mochi. I found him during a mission way back when, and took him with me." Michael said, "If he caused you any trouble, please forgive him. He's still quite young and isn't too fond of many people."

"Oh, it's okay." Asuka smiled as the monkey suddenly jumped onto her breasts, "But why does he keep doing this?"

Looking a little miffed, Michael pulled the monkey off of Asuka's breasts and tied its tail to side of his backpack, "No idea…but I think that he just likes you." Michael noticed a stray photo on the ground and quickly picks it up and kisses it before slipping it into his wallet.

"You know what they say pets do take after their master, so does that mean you like big girls like us Michael?" Katsuragi gave a mischievous grin as she presented her bust to him.

"Um..." Michael scratched his head then moved on, "Well, anyways Asuka, I'm glad to see you again."

"Avoiding the question, huh?" Katsuragi smiled.

"Yeah, me too, Michael-kun." Asuka smiles as she fidgets around holding the bento box.

"Well, anyways I'm going to be here on business, so I don't know how long I'll stay, so lets try to hang out as much as we can, okay?" Michael winked.

"Okay! But first… Well if you want…maybe we…I mean if you want it…." Asuka blushes brightly thinking of a way to give the lunch to Michael.

"You want to give me something?" Michael asked.

"Y-y-yes, I-I want-wanted to g-!" Asuka slowly raised her bento box as a smoke bomb turned on releasing tons of smoke.

"…! You!"

Michael quickly grew on the offensive and pulled out a pair of kunai and dashed forward towards the figure ahead of him. As the smoke dies down, a very serious Kiriya stared the teen down.

"Oh, sensei it was you, sorry." Michael puts back the knives and bowed to his former teacher, "Last day of work jitters!"

"I see that you've trained yourself to react faster." Kiriya sighed.

"Yes, and I was able to master my summoning." Michael stated.

"Good, now then, please forgive me, but I have something I need to talk to you about in private." Kiriya explained.

"Hai, Sensei!" Michael bowed then turned back to the girls and said, "Please, excuse me."

"B-But Michael-kun, I-!" Asuka stepped up, and tried to over the bento box.

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'll be back to try some of your cooking afterwards, okay?" Michael gave her a thumbs up.

"Y-You knew?" Asuka gasped.

He then followed Kiriya into his office as the girls questioned the current event, then went back to Asuka.

"Asuka-san, you didn't give him your bento box as planned." Yagyuu commented.

"I know, I got cold feet." Asuka groaned in denial, "What do I do now?"

"Can I have it?" Hibari asked.

"I'm sorry, but I made it for Michael only. I promise to make you some later, okay?" Asuka teared up comical tears.

"Hooray!" Hibari cheered as Yagyuu smiled at the pink haired rabbit shinobi in happiness.

"I still wonder what Kiriya-sensei is doing with the cutie." Katsuragi whined, "And just when I was about to have him on the ropes, too."

"It may be important." Ikaruga looked at the door ahead of them curious on the conversation.

Inside Kiriya's office, the man sat with Michael facing each other while drinking tea.

"So, tell me your reason for actually coming." Kiriya said, seriously.

"What? Can't a guy come back and say hello to his favorite teacher?" Michael smiled.

"I would believe that, but if that were the case you would have came to visit me during your first probation with your old squad. Now cough it up." Kiriya sighed.

"I can see that you can still read me like a book, huh, sensei? Well it's as you guessed, I kind of got cut off from my squad for making a huge mistake with letting our target escape." Michael laughed, nervously.

"I see." Kiriya asked, "I thought I taught you better than to do that. Failure in missions are heavy blows dealt to your reputation as a shinobi. What brought this on?" Kiriya asked.

"Well, during the mission, I had the target in sight, but suddenly…" Michael's eyes narrowed as he wore a serious expression, "I hesitated when a thought came to mind…"

"…" Kiriya noticed the conflicted look in Michael's eyes, but allowed it to pass by for now.

"So…I was kind of hoping to get a job since I'm on probation from doing anymore missions. I got kicked out of my old place at headquarters, so do you think I can stay and help?" Michael asked.

"I won't argue so I will but please don't try to show off or you may actually kill them." Kiriya groaned.

"I guess that could be acceptable, but there was word from Master Hanzo once he heard of your return." Kiriya said.

"I know, he already told me everything that's needed to know on my ride over here on the phone." Michael chuckled.

"So, you can talk to your old master over the phone, but you can't even call your old sensei once in a while?" Kiriya said, bitterly.

"Oi, oi, Sensei, you're starting to sound like someone's mother, who's been worried sick over their adult child. It's really making me feel guilty y'know. It's not like I ignored you or anything. It's not like I wanted to suppress all of your harsh training for me and the three because it mentally scarred. No, that wasn't it all, so please forgive me." Michael went on a long spiel about his reasoning.

Kiriya took a long spit of his tea, "No."

"That's just harsh, Kiriya-sensei." Michael sweatdropped.

"But…the task that Master Hanzo gave you…" Kiriya narrowed his eyes.

"A true ninja must never hold back or they themselves will die a horrible death." Michael said, "Your own exact words."

"You still remembered?" Kiriya asked.

"Yes, remembering your old sayings helped me stay alive from then to today." Michael rubbed the back of his head, "And I hope to be able to ingrain that lesson into the minds of those five out there." Michael said with a devilish smile,

"Because the lesson I'm about to give them could hold those students back all the way to their 1st year of school. Who knows, if I deem them unacceptable, then you won't hold anything against me for dropping them out from their steady course towards becoming kunoichi would you?"

Well, I'm out so Peace Out!
