{Whelp, I wonder how many of you actually saw this coming? I bet more than a few of you did, you're smart people after all. So … Missions. I'm gonna make stuff up before I actually start the whole plot of Burst. Until then however, Original Arc based on an interesting bit of text I saw! Yay.}
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Senran Kagura, they are owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Marvelous AQL respectively. Senran Kagura is fucking amazing though.

*Time Skip/ Area Jump/ Flashback or Dream Sequence*
Morning had come just as swiftly as it always did, sending all the accursed brightness of that ball of gas that we call the sun straight into Naruto's eyes. Growling in frustration at the light's perfect accuracy every morning, the blonde decided that he would give the sun this victory over his sleepy mind as he headed towards the bathroom to assist in his morning wake up.
'Morning can go die in a fire, along with its infernal master.' That was the first thought that Naruto had when he came out of the bathroom, fully dressed in his new uniform, before moving towards the door so that he could get to Hanzo in a relatively quick pace. He briefly considered going to see his classmates for an early morning visit before deciding to just head to school. However, he wanted to have just a bit of fun first, and he had the perfect plan to get his daily dose of excitement and attention.
*Hanzo Academy School Yard, Some Time Later*
The non shinobi student body of Hanzo academy was in a flurry at the rumors flying around about a mysterious one armed pretty boy that was drawing the attention of the female students, which was only a problem for the males due to how many girls this mystery student had drawn to him. The fact that he was apparently able to keep them from calling him out on being a player made more than a few of them hare him as well. None of this mattered to Ikaruga though, as all she had to do was drag her new classmate to class.
'Who in their right mind misses their second day of class? It shouldn't be that hard to remember!' Thoughts along that vein had been going through the black haired girl's mind as she made her way towards the one armed blonde man currently entertaining no less than twenty of the normal students with a rather outlandish tale about a team of knightly ferrets that fought crime and lived the double life as sandwich shop delivery drivers.
Ikaruga was mildly shocked that the crowd seemed to be entranced by the story, but she was quick to make her way through the crowd to fetch her wayward classmate. By the time the girl had made her way to her classmate, he had begun to wrap up his story as though he knew she was coming for him.
"… And that's all I got time to tell you today, I'll be sure to call you guys when I have some free time. Oh, hey there Ikaruga, how are ya today?" Naruto's final statement brought all of the crowd's attention to the ninja girl, and she was kind of shocked at just how many of the girls in the crowd were glaring at her like she was stealing their boyfriend. That sentiment was ironic due the fact that at least five sixths of the crowd was female.
"Uzumaki, Kiriya sensei sent me to get you." Ikaruga watched as the blonde's eyes slowly morphed from happiness at her arrival, to confusion as he processed the statement, moving to shock as the information sunk in, before finally settling on fear as he shakily asked, "How late am I exactly?"
"Late enough that everyone else is upset at you and Kiriya sensei sent me to get you." In the next instant, Ikaruga suddenly found herself being dragged away towards the ninja room at a surprising speed by the blonde as he went full tilt towards the ninja room.
*Later*
Naruto was suddenly regretting his decision to flaunt his ninja attractiveness to the normal students right now. It might have something to do with the fact that he was the center of Kiriya sensei's annoyance, on his second day no less, and the fact that because he was so late he was forced to take a relatively boring mission to hunt down a small group of delinquents in the shopping district.
However, he did have a very nice upside to the situation walking next to him, that being his cute underclassman Hibari was sent to assist him on this mission, but in all honesty he knew that she was to watch him for any funny tricks he might have as a transfer student. They were ninja after all, and this was one of the easiest ways for evil shinobi to get into a good shinobi academy.
'In fact, I'd be willing to bet Ikaruga is actually watching from somewhere nearby, just in case.' The blonde nodded at that thought before turning his attention to Hibari, and he had to force his eyes not to stick to the girl's … let's say assets to keep things cleaner here, as the pinkette skipped next to him.
Shaking his head in an effort to rid his mind of the image of Hibari's jiggling assets, and after a few minutes of calming breaths and a supreme amount of self-control, Naruto turned to his mission partner in an attempt to get to know his new class and teammate. "So, what's your fighting style like?"
Hibari turn to him with a confused look on her face, and Naruto thought he saw rabbit ears on the girl's head for a second as she responded to his question with one of her own. "What do you mean?"
"Well, were gonna be working with each other a lot from now on, so I thought we might as well learn a bit about each other," Hibari nodded at that, but since the girl still looked a bit confused Naruto sighed softly before saying, "Here, I'll go first to give you an example. I fight mainly with my kukri with a few kicks here and there to catch enemies off guard."
The blonde smiled when he saw the girl's face light up in understanding before she nodded excitedly, forcing Naruto to test his willpower in an effort to avoid looking at the wondrous things the movement did to her body. He was given something else to focus on though as the girl started talking. "I get what you mean now. I fight mostly with my hands, though I trip and fall a lot but I manage to use that as well. Also my bunny friend Ninto helps me out as well."
Naruto blinked at that, honestly surprised at what he had just been told. 'If she can ever master fighting like that, I doubt anyone would be able to get a read on what she was gonna do next. Plus she freaking adorable, I swear she's like a giant rabbit!'
As soon as the blonde was finished with his mental rant, his last thought hit him with a variety of less adorable rabbit related images of his teammate. Hibari was slightly confused when she saw the blonde male palm his face as he let out a shaky breath before he walked to a nearby wall and planted his face against it. When he made his way back to her, she was prevented from asking any questions when the man simply said, "Don't worry 'bout it, it was nothing important."
She gave him a worried look before nodding, leaving the matter alone. 'Boys are weird sometimes.' That was Hibari's only thought on the matter. Meanwhile Naruto suddenly felt like he had been insulted somehow, but he ignored the feeling to just enjoy the rest of the trip to the shopping distract in peace, or at least as much peace as he could get with how Hibari's skipping tried to steal his attention from the path.
*Shopping District*
The ninja duo was shocked at what they saw when they made it too the target area of their mission. The entire area was covered in a weak Shinobi Camouflage Barrier as a large group of delinquents moved about as a slightly better equipped girl barked orders at them. Looking around the place, Naruto was shocked at just how much their mission request had left out about the state the place was in. Various shops were either broken or coated in graffiti and the rest were in the progress of being looted. Along with that detail was the fact that the people who were strong enough to resist the barrier were beaten and left lying in the center of the street.
Naruto was pulled from his examination of the scene when Hibari rushed forwards and addressed the leader, or the one who looked to be the leader at any rate. "Hey, stop that! Don't you know that what you're doing is wrong?"
Naruto saw that Hibari now had then attention of all the people on the street, with the only exceptions being the knocked out civilians, before the leader gave the girl a bored look as she responded to the pinkette. "Oh dear I had no idea, how can I ever- Who do you think you are to talk to the Scrub Bandits like that?"
Hibari flinched at the girl's sudden anger, and seeing where the situation was going, Naruto reinforced the Camouflage Barrier with his own as he moved his hand to his kukri's handle. The leader was not done with her angry statements as she picked up on the sudden increase in her barrier's strength. "Now I get it, it looks like we've got some ninja in our midst girls," The rest of the Scrubs, as Naruto would be calling them from now on, heard this they were quick to begin arming themselves with all manners of delinquent weaponry like pipes, chains, and pocket knives before their leader finished her statement, "Now then, let's show them the strength of the Scrub Bandits!"
With that order given, one of the bandits began rushing towards Hibari, but before the pinkette could be hit by the Scrub and her pipe Naruto appeared and blocked it with his kukri before kicking the girl away. Sharing a quick glance and a nod, the ninja duo got into their battle stances as the Scrubs group up before them.
'It's time for these Scrubs to learn why you don't mess with a ninja.' As Naruto thought that he gave Hibari a quick glance, and upon seeing that the girl wasn't using her Shinobi Transformation, Naruto charged forward to meet the Scrubs head on, Hibari right on his tail.
{Done and done, before anyone makes a comment about the Scrub Bandits thing, that is actually what their called in Senran Kagura Burst. I'm 100% serious here; Mission 4-12 on Hanzo's side is called 'Scrubs Strike Back'. Also, I was up all night writing this, but due to the fact that I had been up all day and most of yesterday before I started I had trouble focusing. That's why it's so short. Next chapter will be at least 2500 words I swear. Enjoy Life Readers.}
