Powerful Bond Overpower Misguided Hearts

"Those two sure aren't holding back." Hanabi concerned for Yumi and Asuka.

"Kind of reminds me of when Fubuki and I would fight each other." Neppe recalled those times.

"Except in this case, it's the twins working together under the same misguided goal." Kagura pointed out.

"Yeah, and their being use by another misguided idiot." Neppe glared at Fubuki who is watching the match.

"But I wouldn't worry about them too much." Neppe smirked as he just saw Yumi trap Gekko's voodoo puppet in ice.

"Juju!" Gekko gasped.

Yumi stands back up and look to Gekko with a calm and serious look in her eyes.

"Yumi, why? I don't understand. I thought you despised evil with every fiber of your being, just like your grandfather did." Gekko asked, wondering why Yumi refuse to see things the way she and Senko see.

"Both people and the world can change with time. Is that so wrong?" Yumi stated making Gekko gasp a little.

"I think it's okay to change and grow, as long as it's in an honest and meaningful way. Those are my beliefs despite how my grandfather felt." Yumi believed strongly.

"(Old man Kurokage, this is how you wanted Yumi to live her life, isn't it?)" Neppe thought smiled and remember the last talk he had with the old man.

(Years Ago)

"Neppe, what exactly do you want to do when your older?" Kurokage asked a little Neppe with his eyes being covered by his hair.

"I… I don't know, I don't see the point with everything being all messed up now." Kid Neppe cradled on himself in fear.

"Nah, I believe you will live a wonderful life and perhaps more with Yumi." Kurokage petted Neppe's head.

"Sounds more like a fantasy." Neppe exclaimed.

"Well, in any case, I truly hope that my granddaughter will live a great life far from the life I wasted on." Kurokage sighed.

"Wasted on?" Neppe asked.

"My boy, I was nothing but a blinded man who believe he could make a world that was foolish ambition for the fools." Kurokage said as he started telling Neppe about his life.

(Present)

"(From what I'm looking at right now, Yumi had almost fallen in that path like you did but she is doing great for herself.)" Neppe thought proud to see Yumi as the young woman she is right now.

"Your words are making a mockery of everything he stood for, and I'll be sure to make you pay for it!" Gekko determined and fired her orange energy beams at Yumi.

Yumi gasp on seeing how powerful that attack looks and worry that she might not be able to get out without more than a scratch.

(With Crimson Squad and Suzune)

The Crimson Squad and Suzune are standing their ground firmly as they are facing the Youma Neppe warned them about as she looks down on them.

"I know it's only been almost a year, but to hear the young man now makes me feel like it's been much longer than that." The tall Youma woman said.

"Yeah, the guy spoke very highly of you being the guardian even though he once hated you at the time." Homura mentioned.

"Even so, I would still show him the same respect as I do for Lady Fubuki and their mother." The Youma woman said.

"I hope you don't mind giving us your name before we start fighting." Hikage said pointing her knife at the enemy.

"It would seem you Shinobis have some more manners than the ones I've dealt with." The youma woman commented.

"My name is Rasetsu, a strong youma will soon see." Rasetsu introduced herself.

Rasetsu is a tall Yōma with a quite standard body of a human woman. She has purple skin, covered with black feather-like parts, a lizard-like tail, pointy ears, seemingly orange eyes, white hair, and a horn and a third eye in the forehead. She is also wearing some kind of necklace around her neck that looks like a flower with only four petals. Breasts sizes: Q-cup.

"Okay, introductions are out of the way, let's kick this Youma's butt!" Mirai pointed her umbrella-gun at Rasetsu.

"Are you sure that is such a wise idea? If you're not careful, you might end up hurting these girls more than trying to save them with such limited spaces around here." Rasetsu gestured of the area they are in.

"Nice try, but we've been trained to deal with any kind of situation even in close space battles!" Homura charged forward.

Homura swings her six swords down only to be blocked by Rasetsu's arm clashing like the blades are hitting a steel wall, the youma woman didn't flinch or anything from the words before being push back with great force that Homura crashes into several of the boxes.

"Homura!" The Crimson Squad gasped.

"Looks like she'll be hard to hit." Suzune brought out her Fūma Shiruke and blitz around Rasetsu.

But to the Shinobi woman's shock, the youma woman suddenly vanished from her sight and instantly appeared close to her on the right and threw a fast right uppercut that send Suzune crash and bounce off from the ceiling.

"Holy demonic roadrunner! That thing is fast!" Mirai shocked.

"Come at me all you like, but none will get past me for I have a duty of guarding these girls." Rasetus pointed at the unconscious Hanzo girls.

"We know, but that doesn't mean we're going to give up." Homura burst out and charge at the youma woman again.

Homura tries slashing at Rasetsu again as her attacks are making a dent like earlier than Hikage and Haruka join in with the emotionless Shinobi slashes from left and right while Haruka does a kick to the back though Rasetsu just push her off. Haruka summons her puppet to throw some strong barrage of punches though the youma easily blocks each strike, then she quickly defends herself when Mirai start shooting at her and Suzune comes in slashing fast and fierce around her.

"Hope you like fireworks!" Yomi shouted as she fired a bomb from her arm-cannon.

Everyone got away from Rasetsu as the bomb exploded upon contact engulfing her and the spot she was standing on.

"Did that get her?" Homura asked.

Everyone waited for a moment to see if Rasetsu is still standing or was knocked out from the bomb in the face, hoping it's the second one as they can still from the short battle that this is one Youma they can handle as they are right now.

"I'm sorry to say, but that firework was just lame." Rasetsu mocked revealing herself to be okay with no scratches at all.

The girls became shocked which Rasetsu use that small moment to make her move as she dashes towards them faster than they can react, and she attacks them with one punch each sending them crashing onto the wall causing them to gasp in pain and cough up a little blood.

"I'll admit, you Shinobis haven proven to be a strong bunch, but the sins you have committed will not go punish." Rasetsu stated.

"About what happened to your old master? Neppe already told us about that and we're sorry for you lost." Yomi groaned.

"But that doesn't mean you can take out your shitty anger on the world." Mirai pointed out.

"You may see like that, but this is how world will see things of the Youma!" Rasetsu sprinted at them.

"Damn it… Its Ninja Vanish Time!" Homura threw down a smoke bomb.

A second later when Rasetsu threw the punch only to hit the wall and see that those Shinobis have disappeared.

"They've escaped, but they'll come back for their friends." Rasetsu said as she went back to her pose.

The scene shows the Crimson Squad and Suzune have managed to sneak away from the tall Youma woman and snuck into an air vent that is big enough for them to crawl in.

"Damn it, guess Neppe was more than right about that Youma being so strong." Homura groaned.

"Are you girls okay?" Suzune asked.

"We're fine, but our bodies are sore from that attack Rasetsu gave us." Hikage answered.

"I can vouch for that." Mirai exclaimed rubbing on her flat chest.

"What now? The Hanzo girls still need rescuing." Yomi worried.

"I know, but we're gonna need a new way to approach that Youma if we're gonna have any hope of succeeding the mission." Suzune said.

Then Suzune felt something bend down when her hand land on a certain spot of the metal vent making her stop, but that also causes the Crimson Squad to bump into each other's butts on their faces.

"Suzune-Sensei, you can't just suddenly stop like that." Homura pointed out and blushing from feeling her former teacher's butt.

"Hold on, something's off here." Suzune said then they heard metal creaking sounds.

"What's the creepy sound?" Mirai asked worry.

"It almost sounds as if the duct is scream for help. It's saying you need to lose some weight." Hikage blunted blank face.

"What a rude thing for you to say! We mostly eat grass, so why would we be overweight?" Yomi asked and suddenly the creaking became louder.

"What's that?" Yomi surprised.

"You guys, this isn't good! It feels like we're about to fall!" Mirai started to freak out.

(Back at the Arena)

The orange energy beams came at Yumi fast, but she wouldn't let fear bring her down and formed an ice shield that reflected the beam right back at the attacker.

Gekko gasp of seeing her attack being used against her like this then suddenly Juju the voodoo puppet managed to break free from the ice and use itself as a shield, but the shockwave still knocks her down trembling on the ground.

"Our fight isn't anywhere close to through." Gekko groaned as she gets back up.

"I'm going to stay true to Kurokage's moral code no matter what. And I'll change the entire world to match is beliefs!" Gekko determined.

"You see, I have to fulfill his dream, so I can't lose to you here!" Gekko said strongly.

This is definitely making Yumi feel like she is looking at herself, from the time she said those exact same words to Asuka when they battled each other and how her Grandpa Kurokage suddenly intervene that battle to stop Yumi from living on like that too.

With Asuka who is doing her best to block each of Senko's powerful punches with her swords while being push backward, then Senko threw a strong right hook across the face though Asuka was able to make a swift counterattack on the shoulder.

"Why you little…" Senko angered performed a fast-striking move attacking Asuka all around her.

Asuka felt each of those punches hitting her with the intent to knock her down for good, but the Hanzo leader refuses to her down as she kept standing.

"How the hell is she still standing? It's impossible!" Senko surprised.

"You want to speak about impossible, then try living your own life for a chance." Asuka advised.

"Shut up!" Senko threw her fist which clashes against Asuka's sword.

"A virtuous ninja must never befriend a corrupt one." Gekko said as she is going on with the belief she and Senko go by.

"All evil must be purged. There is no place for the immoral in this land. This credo is our guide, for as long as we draw breath." Gekko stated.

"Do you understand?" Gekko asked.

(Flashback)

Gekko and Senko are seen walking together in the hallway being greeted by the other students giving the twins some praises and admiring their mind and beauty, the twins greeted back friendly with smiles on their faces.

"From the outside, our lives at Gessen must have looked perfect. It's where the brightest shinobi elite are trained and pampered, so what more could we ask for?" Gekko asked sarcastically.

Gekko and Senko are seen at the rooftop not looking happy as they now have to looks of boredom and feeling empty on the inside as they stare off into the horizon.

"But our hearts were left empty and unfulfilled. Longing for more." Gekko said in a sad tone.

The twins are within the secret shinobi library sorting out some of the old shinobi books until Senko spotted something behind a couple of boxes and took it out.

"This meeting must be fate. Yes, a dream come true." Gekko believed.

Senko open the box and the two found an old book which happens to be the diary of one of the greatest shinobi who ever lived, the diary of Kurokage and they are reading the diary together about the old shinobi's life when he was young and went to this school.

"The diary was a record of all the battles Kurokage fought against the evil ninjas. It was like reading it woke us from a deep slumber." Gekko said.

Senko and Gekko knew from that then on, they have found what they believe to be their purpose in life.

(Flashback End)

"We found a path that is pure, unwavering, and difficult to follow. It is the path of pure justice. At last, we have finally found our true purpose in life!" Gekko believed strongly.

Gekko can feel her eyes getting a little watery from being so emotional right now even though she is in a middle of a battle, but she became shocked when she saw Yumi is also crying with the tears streaming down her cheeks and she is also smiling.

"Hold on, I don't understand. Why are there tears in your eyes?" Gekko puzzled.

"Because I can relate to that." Yumi answered.

"My grandpa told us about his experience as well. And much like you, we all decided to go to Gessen for training." Yumi explained as she remembers that day when Kurokage told them about his days.

"None of us doubted his words. Since we had all lost our parents to evil shinobi at such a young age, there was no reason to question is motivation." Yumi said as she looks toward her team/sisters for a moment.

"We all talked about following in his footsteps. How we would seek the same path once we became shinobi." Yumi mentioned.

"I don't get it! What happened? If that's how you felt, then why won't you join us?" Gekko asked.

"Because my perspective shifted." Yumi looked toward Asuka still standing her ground against Senko.

Senko threw a straight right punch which Asuka blocks it with her sword that also gave her the small opening to perform a high kick forcing Senko stumbling back a few feet.

"Somebody once told me that happiness is balance. And that's… true justice." Yumi explained.

Asuka jumps over another of Senko's attack and strike back with a spinning attack that the darker wearing twin wasn't able to defend herself against and was sent flying with most of clothes destroyed except for the bra and underwear and her boots.

"Senko!" Gekko gasped.

"After hearing their life story, it makes me wonder what old man Kurokage would say to them if he was here right now." Neppe said.

Fubuki looks down at the twins are now appeared to be struggling to finish off Yumi and Asuka though it didn't exactly matter to her either way.

"(Those two have such devotion to grandpa Kurokage, but that foolish is what also makes them good servants.)" Fubuki thought with a hidden smile.

(With Hebijo Girls)

Miyabi just exits the shower with a towel over her head and sat down, still feeling angry from losing the battle.

"Miyabi, try to take it easy, would you? They got lucky, that's all it was. We caught a bad break." Imu tried to cheer her up.

"Imu, now's the perfect time to analyze our defeat. You shouldn't just write it off as bad luck." Ryobi stated.

"I'm not, I was only trying to cheer up Miyabi." Imu said.

"Licking each other's wounds won't solve anything." Ryobi said.

"I would have to say that I agree with that." Ryona agreed.

"Oh wow, for once we're on the same page." Ryobi surprised.

"Now's not the time for licking each other's wounds." Ryona said before she jumps right onto Miyabi grabbing a hold of her arm.

"We should be licking each other's bodies!" Ryona started licking on Miyabi.

"Stop that, Ryona! Quite it, cut it out!" Miyabi begged feeling embarrassed from this.

"Oh man, I'm so jealous right now!" Imu said perverted as she wonders why she didn't think of that before, but tried to look serious.

"I mean, oh no, please stop." Imu said in a flat tone.

Ryona did indeed stop licking on Miyabi and went to licking Imu on her forehead.

"This suck, why do I get licked on the forehead?" Imu asked blushing shock.

"Knock it off! Stop acting like a stupid dog already!" Ryobi yelled, then flinch when Ryona start looking at her.

"What, what is it? Don't tell me you're going to try and lick me too? Ryobi asked.

"I won't, not this time at least. Instead, I want you to lick me, so get to it. Come on, baby." Ryona begged in a sexy pose.

"NO WAY IN HELL!" Ryobi smacked Ryona with a paper fan.

Then they heard giggling coming from Murasaki with a smile behind her stuffy.

"What are you smiling about, Murasaki?" Imu asked.

"I'm just happy because everything's finally getting back to normal." Murasaki answered.

"Right, I agree." Ryona nodded.

"Well, you're not exactly wrong." Miyabi chuckled and turned to Ryona.

"Thank you, Ryona. If it weren't for you, I don't know how we'd manage. You're the reason our unity as a team remains intact." Miyabi thanked.

Then they heard metal creaking noise coming from within the locker room.

"It feels like something is about to come apart." Ryona guessed.

Next thing they knew, something crash right on top of the Hebijo Shinobi girls.
