A/N: Whew. This chapter was a doozy, and I might need to get a beta reader, because I am not sure about it's quality.
Well that was a good nap." Hanzō said after waking up from his nap.
"We're nearly at the station." Ren told him. Hanzo slept through the whole trip. There were still questions that Ren wanted to ask him, but now it may be too late for it. Though they'll probably be fine.
'"Right right." Hanzo told him, getting up and stretching his body. Hanzo then took a look at Ren and asked him,
"So, are you ready?"
"Been ready since the day you asked me to help you." Ren responded to him, full of confidence.
"Good to see that you're confident." Hanzo said to him, before pulling out his luggage. "So off we go."
Ren then follow him to a spot where there weren't many passersbys.
"Now come on. Hop on my back." Hanzō said before crouching down so that Ren could get on him.
"Alright." Ren said to him, with absolutely zero hesitation towards this.
"You really haven't changed a bit when it comes to things like this…" Morgana muttered in resignation towards the act. Ren then got into Hanzō's back. Hanzō's body was around the sàme height as his, so it was quite awkward for both of them to get into the spot.
"This is going yo be fast, so hanf out tight." Hanzō told them
But before they could get any passerby's watching them, but before they both knew it they were traveling at high speeds that neither thought humanly possible. Within a few minutes they were bouncing off various buildings until they stopped at one huge building.
"I'm going to throw up…." Morgana groaned in the bag.
"Are you sure you're human? Because I severely doubt that any of what you just did was even humanly possible." Ren asked Hanzo in a mixture of slight admiration, questioning, and shock.
"There's no need for flattery." Hanzo told him while rubbing the back of his head.
"'That wasn't me flattering you. It's just stating a fact." Ren told him simply.
"So want to tell me why there are so many students here? Are this many people becoming ninjas?" It
"Simple. This school was originally a normal one, until the secret shinobi course was added." Hanzo informed him.
"Thus doing what all Shinobi should do, hide in plain sight."
"They didn't want to build another school, did they?" Ren asked him. There was nothing to gain from doing this, from what Ren could figure out, this school's existence as a ninja school was relatively common in the Shinobi world, thus doing it serves no purpose to them. But why bother doing it and keeping at it in the first place? And this was what Ren considered to be the reason. u,
"No." Hanzo informed him truthfully, "But doesn't it sound like a good enough excuse."
Hanzo then handed Ren a uniform. It was the usual white shirt and black pants and jacket that was stereotypical for uniforms. Say what you want about Shujin, at least they did something with their uniforms, having them being visibly appealing enough to look at. But Ren digressed.
"Here's a student I.D too." Hanzo said, handing him one. On it was Ren's picture but the name read, Makoto Yuki. That name felt like it should be familiar to him for some reason, yet Ren couldn't figure out why. But who cares about that at the moment.
"Put those clothes on and after you finish changing, explore the school grounds and make yourself familiar with them." Hanzo told him.
"You'll probably be able to notice where the Shinobi kekkei are. Memorise their locations as well." Hanzo instructed him. Hanzo then disappeared without a word or trace, leaving Ren and Morgana alone.
"SO should I leave my bag and clothes here, or...or what?" Ren asked Morgana. Morgana only shrugged his cat body before saying to him,
"Just leave it here. I doubt that any students will be up here at this time of day anyway."
Ren then thought about it, and Morgana was probably right. There probably won't be many students who'd go all the way to the roof to hangout at a school like this. Ren then proceeded to change, not knowing that right now that a certain school of evil Shinobi was currently watching him change on the roof. Ones who arrived a few dozen seconds after Hanzo left.
Normally Hanzō would have been able to sense them, but they came in from the opposite direction that Hanzō left, him being completely focused on something else, and the fact that they were skilled enough in hiding their presence that they managed to slip beneath his norirtice. This led to the current situation. are you
"W-what is he doing!?" Imu yelled as she was stuck watching this scene, red as a tomato. She wasn't the only one/ Murasaki, Ryobi, RYona, and even Miyabi were blushing at the scene. However while the others were looking away from it, Murasaki was watching it, strangely transfixed by the boy on the roof. Not just by his appearance, though it was certainly good. But also by his smell. It wasn't quite like anything that she's ever smelled before. It smelled like what Akechi smelled like, but it was also...cleaner? Was that the right word? No, it was purer than his. Like comparing a-
"Murasaki!" Imu said to her, forcibly turning her head before she could finish her analogy. "Don't watch something like that!"
'Alright...neesan…" Murasaki said to her older sister.
"WHy was he on the school roof in the first place?" Ryona asked them.
"He's obviously a Shinobi from another school!" Imu pointed out to them, which was completely obvious.
"But which school does he come from is the better question." Miyabi pointed out to them.
"I haven't heard of any good schools that still have Male shinobis recently." Ryobi pointed out to them.
"Are they a school trying to make a comeback bh taking on a top school?" Miyabi muttered to herself. No, she doubted it was something like that. If they had shinobi strong and capable enough to do something like that, why would they be unknown? Was there something that she was missing? She had to find out
"Murasaki." Miyabi said suddenly, looking at the purple haired girl.
'Yes?" Murasaki responded, having a bad feeling about what was going to happen right now
"Follow him until hess reaches a Shinobi Kekkei, or drag him into your own if you want. Then battle him to test his skills.'"She was right. She didn't like this at all. But if she wants her sister to forgive her, then she'll have to listen to Miyabi's choice on this matter.
"Fine." She said to her leader. "But i...don't think….. that I can win…"
"Report back to us after the fight." Miyabi ordered her. "EVery single little piece of information matters."
"Hnnn….alright…."Murasaki said, disappearing from sight to do her mission for her leader.
"Are you sure that was alright?" Imu asked Miyabi. "She's never had to do something like this before."
"SHe'll be fine. After all, she is an elite member of hebijoo." Miyabi told her to ease her worries.

Ren was wandering around the school building, looking for Shinobi kekkei like Hanzo told him too. Right now though, he certainly has easier times trying to guess a target's distortion than this. Ren wasn't even sure what it was that he's looking for. But Ren had to say Hanzō definitely had a different feeling from Shujin. It was like this place only accepted good people, because the entire time he's been walking, everyone he bumped into greeted Ren nicely. No snark, no ignoring him and going along their way, everyone greeted him.
Just then a girl ended up running into him, knocking them both down. This school was definitely Shujin at least.
"Sorry!" The girl said, quickly getting up. "It was my fault!"
The girl was a brunette, and on her neck was a red scarf. She gave off a friendly and warm atmosphere that made her seem approachable, and she was actually pretty cute. "I was just in a rush." She said, explaining to him.
"It's fine." Ren told her before getting up. "I've been knocked down harder."
"I'm Asuka." The girl said, introducing herself with a smile.
"I'm...Makoto Yuki."
"Makoto-kun? Got it. I'll remember your name." She said to him before remembering something.
"Oh, right! I've gotta go!" She then started to rush off to somewhere else, running all the way.
"She seemed nice." Ren said, giving his own frank opinion of her.
But right when Ren thought that, Morgana called out to get his attention.
"Hey! Doesn't that area over there look suspicious?" Morgana told him. Ren looked to see what Morgana was talking about. It was an ordinary classroom, although it had a certain feel to it. Like there was something here but not there at the same time. eVeryone else seemed to be ignoring it, but Ren definitely felt something off about it. Ren then walked closer to the classroom to see what it actually was, until he reached it, being dragged into it and entering a Shinobi Kekkei.
"Wow. This is way different from his." Ren said, surprised by it. It's like he's at a building outside a palace ruler's distortion. This place resembled the part of the school building that he was in to a fault. Was it due to it being one to a powerful Shinobi, or was it actually something else?
But the second Ren thought about looking around, a girl appeared in front of him.
"Who are you?" Ren asked the girl who appeared before him. She had long purple hair, and the largest chest that Ren had ever seen in his life. The uniform she was wearing was a black sailor uniform. Ren didn't even know that they were still used for high schoolers. But right now there was a more pressing matter at hand.
"I'm….Murasaki…." She told him, somewhat nervously. "I'm...from Hebijo."
From the way she looked, she looked like a shut-in that just got out of her room. He hopes that his experience with Futaba will help him out here.
"I'm Joker." Ren told her. "And this right here is Mona." Ren said, pointing towards Morgana.
"Wha-Joker!?"
"A...cat?" Murasaki asked, confused about what Morgana was. Was it a cat or a tanuki? Or maybe a raccoon?"
"I am not a cat!" Morgana said to her.
"And what's his name?" Ren asked her, pointing at the stuffed bear in her arms, completely ignoring Morgana.
"His name….. is, Bebeby….." Murasaki told him.
"Why did you ask for his name?" Morgana asked him, sounding kind of frustrated.
"Don't you ask for the names of people you've just met?" Ren asked him. "It's just manners Morgana." Ren told him.
"Why are you being so nice to her!? She's obviously an enemy!" Morgana was beginning to sound annoyed and frustrated.
Ren then sighed before turning his body completely toward Morgana.
"Sorry about him." Ren said before picking up Morgana and turning around, "Well it's been nice meeting you two." Ren said to them, before he started walking.
Ren then heard the sound of something being raised slightly, and before looking around to see what it was, dodged a shurikens attack being aimed at him. But how was she using her hair for it?
Ren then blocked the next attack with his knife, forcing her hair shuriken back. Was she actually using shurikens in her hair? How was that even possible? But before Ren could question more she started to get into a more battle ready pose.
"Fighting honestly seems like the last thing you'd ever want to do." Ren said while looking at her. She looks like they type to just stay in a dark room in her home, being on the computer.
"I don't." Murasaki said to him. "I'd rather...be at home…."
"So just go home then. No reason for us to fight." Ren tried telling her. But Murasaki responded to him with,
"No...if I do….onee-chan….won't forgive me…." She told him, slowly gaining resolve in her eyes.
"So...I have no other option." Though Ren had the feeling that she wasn't talking about the fight.
She then started to move towards them, with a purple energy covering her hair, causing it to appear to be glowing. She then rushed forward towards Ren swinging her shurikens but Ren dodged it by jumping backwards, but then the shurikens tried to make another round towards him, but Morgana knocked it back with his sword.
"She's using some weird power!" Morgana told Ren. "Be careful!"
Ren then tried to shoot at her from a distance but she managed to block his shit with her shurikens.
Ren then sighed before pulling out his knife and rushing towards her, Ren dodged the first counter strike, before slashing at her, but it was a light attack, causing a piece of her uniform to reveal itself. Luckily for them it was the stomach portion. Murasaki then tried to attack him again but Ren backed away, and was replaced with Morgana, blasting away the shurikens with his slingshot.
Murasaki was surprised for a moment that his slingshot was able to do that, but that was enough for Ren to attack her again with a slash from his knife, this time, taking off her chest area, revealing her black bra to them.
"Crap! Sorry!" Ren said apologizing to her, however a purple aura started to appear on her entire body
"STAY AWAY!" She then fired an energy blast at them which they were unable to dodge in this narrow hallway. But luckily Ren was an expert at quick thinking.
"Arsene!"
"Eiga!" Arsene then blasted the sphere with his own attack that caused it to explode before it could hit them.
"I….better….get serious." Murasaki said to herself in a voice barely louder than a whisper.
Ren then looked at her, as she took out a scroll from her chest. Then she said,
"Shinobi….Tenshin…." She said before raising her scroll and having her outfit change. Her outfit, underwear includedwas then stripped off of her body, before becoming a gothic lolita dress.
"Was she naked for a second there, or was I seeing things?" Ren turned to ask Morgana, only to notice that he somehow had a bloody nose.
"Seriously? What about Ann?" Ren asked him, trying to remind him about the girl that he has feelings for.
"It's just her body…." Morgana told him, wiping his bloody nose with his scarf.
"I know but get your act together!"
Murasaki then attacked them, with her shurikens being both more powerful and faster this time. Ren and Morgana managed to dodge it. Ren then fired another shot at her, but she completely dodged it this time. 'She'has gotten faster and stronger?!' Ren thought to himself before summoning Arsene.
"Arsene! Eigaon!" Ren called out blaster her with a powerful curse attack, sending her flying. It managed to destroy the lower part of her dress and the stomach area, but she was still in fighting condition, her body completely unharmed. What would it take to actually damage her?
"Tch." Ren said, clicking his tongue.

She then rushed forward, trying to hit them with her shurikens,but Ren blasted them back with his a shot from his gun
Morgana was ahead of him.
"Zorro!"
"Magaru!" Zorro then blasted her with his wind attack, knocking her backwards into a hallway wall, completely destroying what remained of her top.
Murasaki then got up, her dress being torn enough that they saw her panties and bra, however she did not look embarrassed at all. She honestly looked like this was the absolute least of her problems. Or maybe she was used to it. But she then raised the shurikens in her hair, looking ready to attack.
"This really is a pain." Ren said to Morgana, raising his knife.

However before the fight could continue someone came into the hallway, saying
"Wow! Looks like you guys are playing a pretty hard game!" It was a cute but childish voice,
When Ren turned to see who it was from, he saw that it was from one of his targets. Minori was her name, Ren was pretty sure of that fact. But Ren was confused about why she was here. And why was she only in her bras and panties right now? 'No.' Ren told himself. 'Don't stare so much, you'll only get hard.".
"Really Morgana?" Ren asked after seeing him staring. "Get your minds out of the gutters."
"They're never in them!" Morgana protested him, but after two incidents like these, Ren didn't believe his words. Mminori however innocently tilted her head at what was going on.
"Hey! You guys! Are you playing Shinobi! I want to play!" She said to Ren and Murasaki.
"No, I'm actually playing Run Away." Ren told her calmly, thinking about what he can do on the spot. And making up a game might be it.
"Really? How do you play!" Minori asked him excitedly.
"Simple, you hit your opponent before running away from them. If they manage to hit you, do it to them again. If they don't, you hit and run again." Ren told her with a pleasant smile on his face.
"Really? Sounds fun!"
"Why don't you play with the girl standing there?" Ren told her. "She's super excited to be here."
"Really?" Minori said doubtfully. "She looks like she wouldn't want to be here."
"Oh, she was the one who wanted to make the first move." Ren assured her. "I'm actually surprised by how energetic she is."
"H-hey…" Murasaki said, trying to interrupt them. However her voice wasn't loud enough for Minori to hear it.
"When I asked her if she wanted to go home, she said she's going to stay around and fight me. So I'm sure she's got enough energy to fight you." Ren told her with a smile on his face.
"Really? Okay then!" Minori said happily. Minori then hit Murasaki in her head with a bucket before running away from her.
However Ren noticed something strange. Despite not hitting her bra at all, it started to get ripped to pieces.
that often,
Minori was apparently pretty strong, but with the
'Wait a second. Was the damage being transferred to the clothes?' Ren thought his attacks were just too weak to harm them, but it seems like the damage was going somewhere else. This seems like something that Ren should've been told before getting here, but now's a good time to learn anything.
Though that does explain things from his fight inside with Hanzō's Shinobi Kekkei. Like how his body was fine despite the attack from the fire puppet.
I'm...going home." Murasaki stated before leaving.
"There's no "
"Well how about we keep playing?" Minori asked Ren excitedly. Ren then thought about what game that they could play so that they could get outta here.
"Let's play hide and seek." Ren suggested to her. "I'll hide and you seem."
"Alright!"
"Count to 100." Ren told her calmly.
"Alright!" Minori said before closing her eyes. "1….2….3…..4….."
Ren and Morgana then walked away from the scene, looking for an exit. They decided to go the same way Murasaki did and try to find a way from there. They then felt a strange presence in the area. It felt like a safe room did, as if there weren't any any effects of the Kekkei behind this point.
"Ready to go?" Ren asked Morgana.
"Yeah. Let's hurry up before she gets to one hundred." They then proceeded to left the Kekkei.
"However when they did they saw that they we're currently inside of an empty classroom. Morgana was a bit worried about them being there alone, thinking that they didn't leave
A look through the window however eased his concerns.

"Well that could've gone better." Ren said simply to Morgana who was eating in his bag. That fight wasn't as bad as the one with Hanzō, but it was still a pain in the ass.
"It was just too weird fighting someone like her." Morgana said. "Using her hair instead of arms? Was that seriously possible?"
"I guess we should get used to the unexpected."
Ren told him, thinking about it. "We've never fought someone who's our size who uses a weird weapon or powers before, have we?"
"No, they've all been pretty much straightforward." Morgana told him. "Akexhi strengthened himself by making himself go berserk, and Maruki pretty much just used pure power against us."
"We probably should get better prepared.
"There can't be that many other people who fight weirdly with their weapons here, or have weird weapons in general."
the on our guard more."
Just then Haruka sneezed. into
"You okay, Haruka-sama?" Mirai asked Haruka as she was running alongside her. Right now they're hurrying over to Hanzō academy. Why? You might ask? Simpler to Defeat the elite squad of Hebijo academy before they could get close to Asuka and her team.
Yomi and Haruka were attacked by two perverted sisters with a sadomasochistic fetish shared between them. They mentioned offhandedly after losing that they "couldn't go farther before the fights with Hanzō". They then left as quickly as they came. After telling HOmura, this was what she decided needed to be done. Louis
"Oh, I'm fine." Haruka said to Mirai, waving off her concern. "It's probably just someone talking about how generous my heart is." She said to her, somewhat jokingly.
"We should probably hurry up. Homura's has already gone into overdrive." Hikage stated simply. And there they saw their leader, twenty feet in front of them with the distance furthering as time went on.
"HURRY YOUR ASSESS UP!" Homura yelled while at the front of the pack.
"She's so worried about Asuka that she's forgotten how to pace herself." Yomi said worriedly.
"We'll have to trick her into taking a break soon." Haruka said to the rest of them.
"Though she might not need it with how fired up she is." Hikage pointed out.
Hanzō Academy Ninja room
Yagyuu then sneezed as her healing salve was being used on her body.
"Are you okay, Yagyuu-chan?" Hibari asked her slightly worryingly. She was already injured enough as it was from her fight with Shiki. Being sick would just be adding the cherry on top of it.
"I'm okay Hibari." She said to her, trying to reassure her. "It was just a sneeze. Nothing to worry about."

Ren and Morgana we're then left wandering around the school.
But right now they had no idea about what to do right now. This was a very important problem that needed immediate solution.
"Hotel room, or love hotel?"Ren asked Morgana.
"Hotel room!" Morgana told him very loudly. They could probably get Boss to host them again if they asked him. But then Futaba would find out about it, causing a whole herd of questions to follow after that. Something that Ren wasn't interested in doing for the moment.
"But a love hotel would be cheaper." Ren pointed out to him. Saving up money was more important right now to him. They didn't have free lounging so it was important to be extra careful with money.
"There is a problem with a teenager and a cat entering a hotel room!"
"So you are a cat then?" Ren said amusedly.
"I'm not a cat!" Morgana protested him angrily.
"You're always in my bag so it's not like anyone would see you." Ren told him.
But right when Morgana was about to keep on arguing, they both felt something strange in the air. It was another Shinobi Kekkei.
"Want to take a look?" Ren asked Morgana.
"You're going to anyways so why bother asking me?" Morgana said to him.
Ren then felt like there was somebody moving around somewhere. He's hearing a lot of sounds that he's learned to associate with violence, the sound of metal flashing against metal,
Right now Asuka was fighting against a group of Gessen Academy girls. She was dressed slightly differently from before wearing a sweater over her uniform
"Asuka?" Ren repeated after seeing the scene for himself. But then Ren noticed that she was pretty injured and that her moves seemed very sloppy to him. Looks like she was in a few battles before this one.
"Morgana, you help her out while I find the ringleader in this." Ren told his partner.
"Ringleader?" Morgana repeated after him, confused about the idea. Ren then quickly explained to him.
"There's no way that this many girls are acting without someone else's orders. There are way too many of them for it to be just them randomly attacking her."
"I see. So you'll take care of her while I help Asuka out?"
"Yeah. Can you handle it?" Ren asked Morgana.
"Heh! In my sleep." Morgana told him confidently.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Ren told him before dashing away.
Ren then started running and walking around in the Shinobi Kekkei until he found his opponent.
Ren thankfully managed to feel the slight change in the air when getting closer to the target. Like there was something powerful nearby, And after running towards the area that gave off the strongest feeling, the school's gymnasium, Ren managed to find her. His first opponent from Gessen.
It was a girl with blue hair and a strangely motherly atmosphere. Though it might be hard to notice with the giant gauntlets on her arms. Right now though she was about to smash a sphere in a few seconds. Something was telling Ren not to let that happen.
"So, you're my opponent." Ren said to Yozakura, getting her attention. When she turned around, she started to look shocked that he was here. 'Makes sense.' Ren thought to himself. 'I wouldn't expect to see me here either.'
"So want to tell me what you're destroying?" Ren asked her. "Or do I have to guess?"
"Why are you here?" She asked him, before getting on guard. "You should still be in your home town right now!"
"Why am I here?" Ren repeated after her before getting a smirk on his face..
"To ask you out on a date, my dear Yozakura-chan." Ren said before calmly walking towards her. Looking straight into her eyes meaningfully all the while.
Her face then started to blush like a tomato, with steam rising out of her head.
"W-what!?" She stuttered, "Why'd you say something like that, idjit!?" She said, gaining a bit more of a country accent. Ren then smirked at her reaction, not expecting that he'd see such a fun reaction. He's expected her to blush lightly, not having a Sumire level reaction. It was fun watching her blush like that though.
She then noticed the smirk on his face and then both simultaneously cooled down and got more pissed off.
"Are you messing with me!?" She shouted at him angrily.
"Yes." Ren said to her, answering her both honestly and simply. "You make it very easy."
"It's like ya trying to piss ma off!" Yozakura said to him, getting more and more heated. But she then took a deep breath in order to calm herself down.
"So," Yozaxkura said after completely calming herself down, "you won't tell me why you're here?""If you must know," Ren started as he brought out his knife and started twirling it around. "I'm obviously here to steal some hearts."
"Then I'll have to squash ya before you can." She said to him, her voice suddenly gaining an edge to it.
Yozakura then rushed him, trying to smash him with her gauntlets, but Ren managed to dodge the attack before pulling out his gun and shooting at her point blank, but she was able to block the shot by using her gauntlets as a shield. Ren then dashed behind her, catching her off guard when he slashed at her back, ripping off pieces of her top. She then tried to swat at him, but Ren managed to dodge completely.
"Tch." She said after missing him.
Ren then rushed forward, before flipping backwards, diving her attacks and then firing a shot into her body sending her skywards. Ren then phantom dash towards her and then began to repeatedly slash at her until they both dropped down to the ground.
She then got up and glared at Ren. Her outfit was now littered with rips and cuts, but was still fine overall.
"I'm going to enjoy crushing you…." She growled at him.
"Bring it." Ren then motioned her over to him.
were less clothing on her body than when they began.

Asuka was beginning to be worn down. Her attacks were getting slower. Her movements are growing more sluggish. There were way too many of them. But she couldn't give up here, her friends were counting on her.
But before she could start swinging away at them something tore through them in a claw like wheel attack taking a lot of them down in that attack before the one who did it leapt down onto the ground, revealing it to be some kind of cat creature.
"Keep your guard up!" The cat said to her in a slightly condescending attitude. But Asuka didn't notice it due to one simple reason.
"You're so cute~!" She said, grabbing the cat and hugging it tightly.
"H-hey!" The cat said, trying to protest her."Let go!"
"So fuzzy!" She said, rubbing their cheeks together, happily ignoring all the enemies around her, who stopped attacking due to the appearance of the cat monster and her reaction.
"L-let go!" The cat said, forcing himself out of her arms and hopping onto the ground.
"I'm here to help you out!" It informed her. "Follow my lead and we'll make it out of here together." Mr. Kitty said before taking out a cutlass.
"Right!" Asuka said with a salute before slightly winching in pain.
"You're hurt!" Morgana said, remembering a reason why Ren sent him here.
"Zorro!" And then behind him appeared a huge buff muscular figure with a rapier in his arms.
"Diarama!" Just then Asuka felt better somehow. Her body had less wounds and she felt some of her strength return to her.
"Now you should be able to fight better." Morgana told her, before looking around them.
"They are all weaklings, so you can handle them." Mr. Kitty said to her. He then rushed forward to attack one of the Gessen Shinobi, easily dodging the attacks before cutting down one in a single strike.
"That cats not to be trifled with!" One of them said,
"I am not a cat!" Mr. Kitty yelled at them. Then they started to mob rush him, but the cat managed to dodge all of them, giving off the most condescending smirk they could have seen from a monster cat. Mr. Kitty then jumped above them before suddenly turning into a bus and dropping on them. When he's tradaformeed back, they all tried to attack him again, but,
"Come forth, my other self!"
That strange summons appeared once more behind him.
"Magaru!" They were all then blasted backwards from them with a powerful wind based attack.
"Hmph. That's the best you've got?" The monster cat said to them with a cocky ass smirk on his face. The ones that were still standing got angry at seeing it on his face.
"I'm going to skin it, and use it's fur as a rug." One of them growled.
"I'm right there with ya." Another muttered. Morgana then shot both of them down with his slingshot, knocking both of them out.
"Hmph! Who else is next!" Morgana told them.
"That cat is just way too ridiculous."
"I'm not a cat!" Morgana told them, angrily.
"Cat whiskers, cat ears, and a cat tail with a cartoon cat body!" One of them pointed out. "Completely a cat!"*
Morgana then summoned Zorro again and fired a
"Magaru!" Blasting them all backwards and knocking his share of enemies out
"That was way too easy." Morgana commented after seeing Murasaki's and Minori's strength first hand. These guys were just way too weak.
Asuka meanwhile was quickly cleaving through the horde handling it better than before. She was feeling like she'd never gotten those wounds in the first place. She's been handling them better than when she was fighting them alone. It's like her entire body was better. But she can't let this go on for too long.
So it's time for her to take some of them out.
"Secret Ninja Art: Hanzō Style Full Bloom!" She then crossed her swords in front of her body as they became envelopes in a green aura. She then dashed forwards, cutting through dozens of enemies and finally slamming her swords down, creating sharo rock spikes to attack the ones she missed.
"That was pretty impressive." Morgana admitted to her.

Great great
"Thanks for the help Mr. Kitty-chan." Asuka said to him, petting his head which would normally cause his to purr but there was something that needed to be addressed.. .
"I am not a cat! And that's not my name! It's Mona!" Morgana yelled at her in annoyance.
"Oh! Sorry, Mona-chan." Asuka said, apologizing to him.
"Now I've got to go." Morgana told her, going the same direction that Ren went. Morgana could only hope that Ren had already won or was holding his own.
Ren was still fighting Yozakura right now and was pretty confident that he was holding the upper hand in the confrontation. But Yozakura then took a deep breath before taking a stance, pulling back her fist, as the Pistons in her gauntlets pulled back to, before they pushed themselves back in.
"1000 Palm fists of Paradise!" Yozakura yelled out, pushing her fist forward causing an energy ball to blast out from her fists, which then split into multiple balls all heading towards Ren.
"Arsene! Eigaon!" Ren shouted out, causing Arsene to blast the spheres with a powerful curse attack, resulting in an explosion that destroyed the area.
When the dust clear Ren saw that Yozakura was gone, or at least that's what she obviously wanted him to think. Ren then dodged a downwards punch that came from the sky that caused a small crater to be formed in the ground.
Ren then had Arséne use cleave which Yozakura managed to block with her gauntlets, though she was still forced to her knees.
Ren then fired a shot at Yozakura, blasting her backwards, before snapping his fingers and having Arséne finishing her off with
"Eiga." Destroying whatremained of her clothes. Ren then realized what would happen if he did that. Ren then turned himself towards Yozakura, seeing what he was expecting. Her on the ground completely naked.
She was now covering herself to the best of her abilities and looking at Ren went a hateful glare while having tears in her eyes. This immediately made Ren feel guilty about fighting her. 'Great. Now I feel like some kind of hentai rapist.'
"Tch. Kill me." She said to him, completely enraged about this humiliation.
"Why should I?" Ren asked her whole looking away from her slightly. If he's took his eyes completely off of her, then something tells him that he'd be getting a punch to the balls.
"You're the victor. I don't want any of your mercy!" She told him.
"I see." Ren said, figuring out what was going on. "Since I won, then I get the right to decide what I want to do with your life?" Ren asked her. "In that case, go home and tell your family you love them."
"What?" She was completely shocked about what he told her to do. Why was that her punishment? No, why was he even giving her a punishment!?
"I know who you are!" Yozakura pointed out. "I could easily ruin your life after I get out of here!"
"So could any high ranking government official." Ren told her simply. *
"I also don't do taking lives of my more conscious enemies." Ren told her frankly.
"That's simply being naive!" She yelled at him. There was no way someone this naive could possibly be a Shinobi!?
"It's the naive idealists who can cause the most change you know." Ren told her with a smirk on his face. "And besides….I don't think your grandpa would want you risking your life over something this small." Ren said with his back turned towards her, walking away.
This stopped her in her tracks completely. Grandpa Kurokage….How did he even know about him!? Why was he even bringing him up!? What was with this guy!?
"So, see you later."
"How'd it go?" Morgana asked Ren after arriving on the scene. Ren actually looked completely fine despite fighting on his own. Mostin of nhis phantom thief attire was still alright.
"Pretty well all things considered." Ren told him. "Want to tell me why she's following you?"
Ren asked, pointing out Asuka hiding behind a hallway corridor.
"Moh. How did you know?" Asuka asked him in disappointment. She did her best to hide her presence this time and everything.
"Your scarf." Ren told her simply, pointing it out to her. "You should probably consider ditching it." Ren suggested to her. Asuka took a look at her scarf before saying
"I think I'll keep it. After all, Jiichan always told me to treasure my gifts."
"Well then, later." Ren told her before he and started walking away from the scene, with Morgana following after him .
"Hey, have I seen you somewhere before?" Asuka asked him with a tilt of her head, before Ren could get.
'Time to disorient her before making my exit.'
Ren then walked forward, looking straight into her eyes.
"Yes. In your dreams." Ren told her charmingly.
"No, I don't think that's it." Asuka responded to him, completely not thrown off.
If it was disgust or hate, then Ren would be able to do something, but complete innocent bafflement? This was a complete first for him.
"I remember! I saw you on an internet video late last year!" She said, realizing where she saw him. But that's where she remembered him from? Seriously? Was she seriously that outta the loop about the phantom thieves of hearts?
"But I can't remember what it was about." Asuka said, somewhat embarrassed, like she just met a celebrity and she can't remember where it was she saw them before. It was kind of hurting Morgana and Ren's confidence right now.
But they should probably get out of here right now.
"Yeah, we were. But we have to go somewhere else right now. Official Good Shinobi business." Ren awkwardly added, hoping that it would work for her. Surprisingly enough, it did.
"Oh, I understand." Asuka told him, buying his lie completely.
"Now come on Morgana." Ren told his friend. They then left the Kekkei be greeted by Hanzō himself.
"Yo!" The old man said to them. Ren and Morgana were completely shocked by his appearance, not sure why he's here now if all times.
"Time for us to get going." Hanzō told him before crouching onto the ground.
"Going? Going where?" Ren asked him? "Simple. To the place you'll be staying at." This completely shocked the duo, though they suppose that it made since ti provide a place to stay for someone who's doing you a job for complete free.
"So where are we going?" Ren asked him after getting into his back.
"You'll see." Hanzō told him before disappearing in a flash that would haves been barely visible to anyone who may have been trying to watch it.
Right now Ren and Morgana we're sleeping in the back of a sushi shop.
"Sorry about the mess." Hanzō apologized to them.."It's been really hard to keep clean since my wife went on her extended trip."
"Extended trip?" Ren asked him.
"Yeah, she just got up and left one day to do something." Hanzō told him. "Haven't seen her since."
"Oh, well sorry for you.
Ire hey that
"Ren, do you mind telling me what happened today?" Hanzo asked him, completely confused about what happened. He left him alone for a few hours, and not only did the Gessen girls attack Hanzō with all of them participating, but somehow his granddaughter managed to be the least injured of them all despite fighting the most. Not that he's wasn't grateful but there were definitely things that should be asked right now.
Ren only managed to fight one of them only after the original fight they had with Hanzō academy.
"I'm honestly not completely sure about it myself." Ren told Hanzō. Ren then picked up a piece of sushi and ate it.
"I ended up fighting a girl from a different school for no real reason." Ren told him while petting Morgana, "I think she says that she was from Hebijo or something."
"I see. They ended up rebuilding themselves faster than I thought they would." Hanzo said to himself while drinking his tea. Habzō then decided to ask him a very important question,"So, how are her boobs?"
"It was the biggest chest that I've ever seen in my life." Ren told him. "Like I seriously doubt I'll ever see a pair like them again."
"Hmmm. I see." Hanzō said to Ren. "So this pair is bigger than anything else you've seen, including the Gessen Academy girls. It must be truly impressive."
"Then I ended up fighting Yozakura." Ren told him.
"And you've managed to win." Hanzō guessed.
"So do you mind telling me why whenever I attack them, it's their clothes that take the damage?" Ren asked him.
"Oh, that's only the Shinobi Tenshin." Hanzō informed him.
"This technique is one where they transform into a more ideal image of themselves based on a mental image. It also increases their power and speed,though not by a massive amount."
"This feels like something that should've been mentioned before this all started." Ren told him.
"Yeah. That's probably all on me." Hanzō admitted to him. "Though any damage done to someone in a Tenshin will always go to their clothes."
"Why?" Ren asked him. "Who would design a transformation to be something like that?"
"No one knows." Hanzō told him. "Many people have wondered why, but no one has ever come close to figuring it out, it's one of the Shinobi world's greatest mysteries."
"Now, any other questions?"
"Yeah, just one." Ren said to him. "Why did this Shinobi Kekkei at the school look so different from yours?" Ren asked him. It was weird to fight in a place that looked so normal, but it was also kind of confining.
"The one used for the school was a low level generic one. It uses something else as a base, creating an exact replica of a surrounding, completely different from the personalized ones that are more like world's born from your minds."
'World's born from the mind?' Sounds suspiciously like a palace, a world born from a persona distorted cognition of the world. So that explains why Ren was able to use his persona there. But there was still something else bothering him. Are there no shadows in the Shinobi Kekkei? If that were the world was born from the mind then Ren expected to at least see something similar to them there, but nope. Not a thing.
"But why use something generic over something personalized?" Ren asked him. It would probably be easier to form strategies in a place tailored to oneself then one determined by whatever their surroundings were.
"Simple." Hanzō told him. "It's actually quite hard to make a personalized Shinobi Kekkei, much less maintain it, so using ninja arts scrolls that have them are considered better for long confrontations such as these." Hanzō told him.
"I see." Ren said after hearing the reason. Though Ren was curious about how they found out about the Shinobi Kekkei in the first place.
"So, Murasaki, what can you report?" Miyabi asked her after she got back from her mission. Murasaki was currently standing before her. Right now she currently holding onto Bebeby while giving Miyabi her report.
"He's...a phantom thief." Murasaki told her simply. She remembered watching the video for when the Phantom thieves if Hearts first made their appearance, and reading and commentating for when they appeared on social media. She also rembered
"Phantom Thief?" Miyabi repeated after her. They were still around? But they also sounded familiar to her.
"Don't you know?" Ryōbi asked her.."They've been a huge problem last year, due to the changing hearts phenomenon they caused."
"Changing hearts?" Miyabi repeated. This was definitely sounding familiar to her. having
"Here's the report we've been given about Akechi." Imu told her before bringing it out and reading it for herself. "Goro akechi, also known as the Detective Prince is the main suspect of the mental shutdowns and psychotic breakdowns, as confessed by the former Minister of Special Missions, Masayoshi Shido." Imu said, reading the documents.
"Goro Akechi was detained because of his role in the mental shutdowns and psychotic breakdowns after he was found heavily injured with unknown wounds." Imu told her. "The very knowledge that he's alive and is responsible for it has been hidden due to him being the police's poster boy."
"Suppose they wouldn't want them to lose anymore of their floundering reputation after those incidents." Miyabi said to herself.
"He's also responsible for the capture of the leader of the Phantom Thieves if Hearts, a group who's supposedly capable of making criminals admit to their crimes and feel guilty about it, who supposedly died after committing suicide while in police custody." Imu said, continuing on reading the report that she currently held.
"Supposedly?" Miyabi asked her.
"But later on the Phantom Thieves did a public broadcast by hacking the country nationwide and declaring that their leader was still alive." Imu continued after saying that.
"Goro Akecxhi disappeared from the media a bit before that and where he has been has become quite a mystery among his fanbase."
"I see." Miyabi said after hearing all of that. But there was one important question that had to be asked.
"How powerful was the?" Miyabi asked Murasaki, getting into the heart of the matter. This was probably the part she was the most interested in after all.
"He's used, a weird summons." She told her.
"Weird summons?" Miyabi repeated.
"It wasn't an animal at all. There was also a talking catlike creature who could do the same thing as him with his summons which was also weird." She informed Miyabi.
"Couldn't find out more due to a Gessen student showing up." Murasaki told them.
"Who was it?" Ryōna asked curiously. They were after all her old school. She was curious to know how they were doing right now.
"She was a girl, who wanted to play-"
"Minori." Ryōbi and Ryōna said in unison, immediately knowing who she was talking about. There was no one else that could be described like that besides her.
"I'm surprised Yumi let her attend this thing." Ryōbi admitted.
"Yeah, Yozakura is probably stuck on babysitting duty right now." Ryōna said in agreement.
"Babysitting duty?" Miyabi repeated. One of Gessens representatives was a little girl in a teenager's body?" That was severely disappointing for many reasons.
"But anyway, did this Phantom thief try to use his power to change hearts for you?" Miyabi asked Murasaki.
"No." She responded to her, though had a feeling it would probably end up poorly for her.
"Though if he did do it to you, wouldn't you naturally say no to the question?" Miyabi said, considering it. Was Murasaki one of his latest victims. She's still acting quiet, withdrawn, and doesn't seem that different. What else could she use to determine if she's been changed.
"She's probably okay." Ryona informed her
"She's acting the same as always, when there's a change of heart, the victims always act completely differently."
"I see." Miyabi said after hearing that. "Let's make our next move them."
