Ninja Investigation in Gessen Middle School

The Gessen Shinobi girls went back to the middle school to begin their investigation again and this time they are wearing the perfect disguise, dressing up as middle school students with slightly different hair styles as Yozakura is wearing glasses and Murakumo is wearing a different mask with shades.

"This is perfect!" Minori smiled.

"Yeah, I can't believe that we can all pass as middle schoolers!" Shiki excited.

"I'm just happy we found a face disguise that fits Murakumo." Yozakura sad seeing the masked behind her who nods in agreement.

"I'm just glad that strange box that showed up at our home wasn't a trap or anything dangerous." Yumi mentioned.

"Do you think it's another Shinobi from another school?" Minori wondered.

"Good question, I think it could be that alley Asuka mentioned to you before." Shiki guessed.

"That could be the case, but for now let just focus on the here and now such as finding Gekko and Senko, we have to be careful. And don't attempt to attack them on sight, if a fight were to break out, innocent middle schoolers could wind up getting hurt, so stay calm at all times." Yumi advised.

"Right, you got it. Stay calm and don't bother innocent bystanders." Minori nodded as did the others.

Yumi is happy to see and hear that her teammates feel the same as Good Shinobis are to protect the innocent and carry out justice the best they can, and hopefully finding the twins won't end up in something dangerous.

"Okay, let's get going." Yumi said.

"Yumi, where should we start looking?" Yozakura asked.

"Hmm, maybe we can start at the gym." Yumi wondered.

"Excuse me, are students supposed to be in their classes by now?" A janitor asked causing the girls to gasp.

"Oh, hello sir! We are just… Transfer students." Yumi greeted while trying to keep her cool.

"Is that so? Though I probably wouldn't notice since I only started working here recently." The janitor said scratching the back of his head.

"Oh, so you're new to this school? I hope you're making yourself comfortable here." Murakumo said.

"It's nice, personally I just wanted to live a quiet life and they say being a janitor is a quiet job." The janitor stated.

"But don't you have to, like, about getting dirty on yourself and all?" Shiki asked.

"It comes with the job, but it's okay. Is there anything you need help with?" The janitor offered a little assistance.

"Well, we heard about two girls named Gekko and Senko goes here, and we wanted to meet them." Yozakura mentioned the twins.

"Gekko and Senko, now where have I heard those names before?" The janitor asked himself and then he started to remember.

"Ah, those two! From what I've been hearing, they are great at mostly everything like with grades and the sports, it's like they're superhumans or something." The janitor explained.

"(Yeah, like, superhuman because they're Shinobis.)" Shiki thought commented.

"I think they're also part of the student council and they appear to be friendly to all the students in the school, but I only seen them a few times." The janitor said.

"Do you know where they usually hang out?" Minori asked.

"Nope, sorry. I just do the cleaning; I don't pay attention to gossip and rumors." The janitor answered as the girls are disappointed.

"But perhaps you could try asking the other students around, one or two of them might know something." The janitor suggested.

"Okay, I guess that's our only option." Yumi said.

"Thank you for your time, we should be going now." Yumi bowed at the janitor and the team walks away.

"By the way, is your friend with the mask alright? It looks like she has a cold or something." The janitor asked making the girls slightly flinch.

"Oh, huh, I'm huh… Just being careful with gems!" Murakumo instantly made up a dumb excuse which she soon regrets.

"A clean freak, huh? Well, I think you should try taking a little risk every now and then and be more open." The janitor advised.

"That just how she is, being shy like a caterpillar refusing to come out of its cocoon." Shiki teased.

"And it would be ashamed to hide those beautiful Oliver green eyes of yours." The janitor complimented as he walks away.

"Thank you and have a good day." Murakumo waved goodbye, then gasp on what the janitor just said.

"How did he know what color my eyes are?" Murakumo asked.

"Maybe your shades were slipping down a little." Shiki shrugged as she is a little confuse as well.

"He did seem like a nice guy." Minori commented.

"Well, at least we know a little more about the twins." Yozakura pointed out.

"Yes, now we just have to find out. Perhaps we should split up to cover more ground." Yumi suggested.

"Cool! Minori, Murakumo, and I will search that way and you two can go the other way." Shiki said.

"Okay, let's hope to find them before school is over." Yozakura concerned.

(Cafeteria)

Shiki, Minori, and and Murakumo made their way to the cafeteria as the former thinks they would be able to find what they want to know in there because there will be lots of students in here.

"Hmm, this cake is so yummy!" Minori smiled humming.

"Like yeah, it's the sweetest thing I've ever tasted." Shiki agreed.

"I'm so glad we decided to come here." Murakump excited under her mask.

As soon as the girls are finish with eating the desserts, they decided to help themselves for their mouths before they can continue with the investigation.

"Hey, are you three new here?" One female student asked as she and her friend walks up to the three Shinobis in disguise.

"Uh, yeah, totally though we're not going to be here for a while." Shiki responded.

"Oh, well, I hope you girls enjoy yourselves here." Female student 2 smiled.

"Thank you." Murakumo nodded.

"Hey, do you girls, like, know about twins with the name Senko and Gekko?" Minori asked.

Then immediately, the two girls squealed loudly like crazy shocking three Shinobi girls to jump back a little as they were not expecting that kind of reaction from just a simple question.

Then those two girls went bragging on about how popular the twins are and maybe started to think that janitor they met earlier forgot to mention that part and consider how much those fangirls admire Senko and Gekko so much.

"We can even tell the places they hang out too!" Female student 1 mentioned.

"Oh, okay…" Shiki said still feeling weirded from those fangirls.

(With Yumi and Yozakura)

Yumi and Yozakura have been wondering through the hallways for a while trying to find any sight of Gekku and Senko, they found no trace of the twins so far.

"Hey, Senku, Gekko, can we talk about the budget?" A girl asked getting the two Shinobi girls' attention.

Yumi and Yozakura peek from the corner of a hallway to finally see the twins right there talking to another student that might be student council stuff.

"Looks like we found them." Yozakura whispered to Yumi.

"Yes, now we just need to be alone with them to get some answers." Yumi planned.

(With Asuka)

Asuka is seensitting in the secret Hanzo Academy Shinobi Training room, she needed to get herself mentally prepare for the big Shinobi tournament, and ready for what's about to happen next between Neppe and Fubuki soon.

"If only Kiryia-Sensei and Grandpa were here right now." Asuka said.

Kiryia is out for something important mission along with her grandfather and her grandmother is out somewhere too, and now she starts to remember the fun times she had with her friends.

(Back at Gessen Middle School)

Senko and Gekko went through the door of the rooftop, Yumi and Yozakura quickly follow them to the roof.

But they are surprised to see that the twins are nowhere to be seen right now.

"We lost them, but how? This is the rooftop." Yozakura puzzled.

"I never imagined you'd follow us here." Senko said getting their attention.

Senko and Gekko are standing on the rooftop on a higher point of view as they look down on the Shinobi of Gessen.

"If this is about the tournament, we'll send you more information by arrow. So, you can stop creeping around like a couple of rats." Gekko mocked.

"As a student of Gessen Academy, and your peer, why is participating in this tournament so crucial? You're kidnappers, why go to such lengths to try and make us fight?" Yumi asked.

"You honestly believe you're our peer? My, how presumptuous." Gekko chuckled in a mocking tone.

"You would never understand and the time for talk is over!" Senko proclaimed.

That was when Yumi and Yozakura senses danger.

"Yumi, get ready!" Yozakura said bringing out gauntlets to clash fist at Senko who leaps at her.

Gekko threw her giant yellow weapon with spikes at Yumi who summons an ice wall and she jump back as the throwing weapon broke through Yumi's defense.

Yozakura is having trouble fighting back against because Gekko is throwing some fast and strong barrage is kicks that is slowly pushing her back until Yozakura was sent flying, Yozakura manages recover and remain her ground.

Senko threw her weapon again and Yumi performs her spinning attack to clash against it for a while until she pushes it back, then Senko attacks with a flying kick as Yumi blocks it with her fans but was still push back with great force.

"(They're strong! I can see how they were able to capture the Hanzo girls.)" Yumi thought.

"Yumi, Yozakura!" Shiki called out as she, Minori, and Murakumo comes running at them for help.

"Hold on, we're coming to help you." Minori said.

Senko and Gekko are getting excited that their whole team is here as they want to fight all of them together.

"That's enough!" Yumi shouted surprising everyone.

"We can't fight with our full strength here. Because if we do, it might cause problems for the other middle school students." Yumi stated.

"Is that what you call "Justice"?" Senko asked, getting the attention onto them again.

"Well, it sounds more like an annoying cliché to me." Senko believed.

"Listen, I'll admit that you're both strong. But still, there's no point in having power without virtue." Yumi pointed out.

"What an odd thing to say. Justice is reserved for those who have power." Gekko proclaimed.

"No, it's not! Are you trying to say that the weak don't deserve justice?" Yumi asked feeling upset.

"Yes, exactly." Senko answered without any hesitation.

"Very well, it appears that you define the word differently than we do." Yumi said as her team agreed.

"Talk about pathetic. Master Kurokage was kind enough to take you as one of his students, and yet, you've abandoned his noble teachings." Gekko scolded.

This shocks Yumi as Gekko just mentioned the name of her grandfather just now.

"I expected better from you, Yumi. You're his own granddaughter, for crying out loud. It's disgusting to see how far you've fallen." Senko glared down at Yumi.

"Even at this school, Master Kurokage's very existence is considered to be taboo." Gekko mentioned.

"But don't worry, we've decided we'll be the ones to carry on his legacy." Senko stated.

"And you can see by their strength that they'll be doing a good job at that." Arkham said appearing to the twins in a sudden black mist.

"Arkham, we weren't expecting you." Senko said.

"Whoa, he is that guy?" Shiki asked shock.

"Must be with them." Murakumo guessed.

"Just came to remind you two about NOT touching the contestants for the Shinobi Master Tournament until it starts. Wouldn't want to upset Lady Fubuki." Arkham reminded them.

"They're the ones who came to us." Gekko pointed at them.

"Yes, but you're the one who started it, yes?" Arkham asked. Gekko couldn't answer as her silence means yes.

"Now, you two get going and get ready. I have to hand out the special invitation to that special guest for the Shinobi Master." Arkham said.

"(The special guest, that means he'll be getting the information sooner than us.)" Yumi thought and Neppe appeared in her mind.

"(Wh… Why was I thinking about him just now?)" Yumi thought puzzled.

"I hope you're prepared for the tournament because it'll be an experience you'll never forget." Arkham chuckled before disappearing in the black mist while the twins did their ninja vanish.

"They mentioned by grandfather, but what did they meant by his legacy?" Yumi wondered.

(With Neppe)

Neppe is seen in his office reading one of his favorite manga series about pirates and gaining superpowers by eating strange fruits, but then he stops himself just as he was about to flip to the next page.

"So, this is the shop you decided to open. A business for Yoma hunting." Arkham walked on.

"Yeah, well, I also do other small jobs when it's not hunting Yomas." Neppe bragged.

"I would have thought the son of a powerful Yoma would have made himself living in a better life than this." Arkham looked around.

"I see, so you know about my mom… That means you know about Fubuki too." Neppe figured out.

"Yes, I serve her, and she had me to give you the invitation for the Shinobi Master Tournament." Arkham mentioned as he walks up to the desk.

"Please, accept it." Arkham grabbed the edge of the desk and flips it over to Neppe who flips backward.

(Music: Dante's Theme, Devil May Cry OST)

When Neppe got on his feet and push the flying desk to the side, he saw the guy is gone and sense something dark is coming.

"Well, I do feel flatter for giving me such an awesome invite." Neppe smirked.

Suddenly three Yomas popped out from the floor and impale Neppe with their scythes through his body expecting him to be dead, but Neppe didn't groan in pain or cough up blood as he is still standing like everything is fine.

"Nice try." Neppe said and spin his upper body a little to chop their heads clean off.

Once the dead Yomas' bodies fell, Neppe took the scythes out and soon more of the scythe wielding monsters appeared in his shop.

"Come on!" Neppe taunted.

The scythe wielding Yomas all roar at him before charging in swinging their blades as Neppe starts swinging the scythes that impaled him earlier to clash against theirs, then he spins around with his superfast reflexes slices those Yomas into pieces though one dodges with the chest area expose.

"Damn, why do the sexiest have to be such ugly monsters." Neppe sighed.

Neppe jumps over from one scythe Yoma that was trying to attack him from behind and impale it with one scythe through the head, then he swings the other scythe to impale four moves from the side and slams them onto the floor.

Neppe stood up and hold out his hand as the other five scythe Yomas growls and come at him to pile onto of the lowly mortal, but Neppe's red katana came to him flying into his hand and swing his sword faster than the eyes can track and he blitz pass them.

A second later, they burst into blood and shattered into pieces.

"Surely, that can't be all my sister has for me." Neppe said then one Yoma with long claws came down from above.

Neppe simply step out of the way and look at the Yoma in the eyes as it roars at him and he just impale his sword through the head from below, then more came at Neppe as he parries and kills them with his sword and even punched two so hard, they burst into pieces.

Then his red katana glows brightly and with one swing, he sliced them all into two killing them.

(Music End)

Then a piece of paper came down and Neppe catches it with his finger, then look inside to see it's the information about the Shinobi Master Tournament.

"Looks like it's time." Neppe said as he went back inside to get his coat, and then walk out while texting Asuka about what happened as he make his way.

"Let see what kind of what I'll be expecting to see." Neppe excited.
