Chapter 4
AU: I hope this is ok, I did what I could and like the last one, I was half asleep when I wrote this and wanted to hurry and get to the point. Again this fanfic is all just for fun and nothing else, thank you.
Hiroshi was released from the net but because he couldn't be trusted just yet, his hands were tied behind his back and Yagyuu and Hijikata standing to his sides keeping an eye on him to make sure nothing is to happen. Kiriya, Asuka, Ikaruga, Katsuragi, and Hibari stood before Hiroshi while the rest of the class stood in the back, all waiting for Hiroshi to answer their questions. "First explain who you are and why you are here." Kiriya said with a very strict tone, practically demanding the answer now, "Um, well, my name is Hiroshi and I am a 2nd year student. Like I said, I came here to find my dog, as I was told he came in here. He gets out sometimes and I was worried about him." Hiroshi explained. "Then how did you find this room? No ordinary person could just come in here so easily." Ikaruga brought up, she was clearly on top of things and didn't really trust the boy who came and was able to walk in so easily, "Yeah and how did you manage to escape our reach when we looked around for you in the building." Katsuragi asked with her hands crossed trying to look very serious as well.
"This is bad, they can't believe me if I just told them I walked in and got lucky, they'll be very suspecious of me then..." Hiroshi thought to himself, he can't expect anyone to believe such a lie, it looks like he had to come clean about a few things...he took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and began to explain..."Ok, here is the truth, my name is Hiroshi, and like all of you...I am a shinobi!" This news surprised everyone in the whole room including Kiriya. How could they have not known about another ninja lurking around their school, Asuka and Ayame were also rather surprised and felt they had a form of idiocy, as they met Hiroshi and couldn't believe they didn't figure out he was a ninja during their encounters. Hiroshi continued..."I recently transfered here as I was unable to complete my training do to my family's teachings. I didn't agree with most of their methods, so Angelo and I left home, hoping to complete our training alone. But eventually I felt the presence of fellow shinobi at this school. When I sensed a strong presence in this building I had Angelo come here to scout out everything. And when he didn't come back I figured my hunch was correct." Hiroshi was very honest in his explanation, most of the girls seemed to believe him, but Ikaruga, Katsuragi, Yagyuu, Hijikata, and Kiriya were not falling for it by much.
"Is that so? Well young man, that is an interesting story, but how are we sure you are not our enemy?" Kiriya questioned the boy obviously not letting him off the hook just yet, "Well there is something else I should confess, I met you 5 girls once, it was night time and you were on a mission. I was the one who saved you..." Hiroshi came out and admitted, the 5 girls felt flabergated at this, as they remember that night, however, they weren't sure if Hiroshi was an enemy that night or not, they still aren't able to tell now. "That was him, he saved us that night Kiriya-Sensei. He's a hero and I think he could be a good friend. An evil ninja wouldn't have done that." The young little Hibari chimed in, she may have been a bit ditzy, but she was bright enough to tell when there was a good person, she honestly trusted the boy. Everyone thought long and hard about this, it was a strange and odd situation. "Once I learned there were other shinobi here, I wanted to join you. Please, I wish to complete my training as a shinobi and prove myself to my family and show them I have what it takes." Hiroshi said, almost sounding desperate and bowing his head. Everyone was now having second thoughts of accusing him, he seemed honest enough, given the fact he helped the girls on their mission when they were having trouble, and he wants to be a ninja for a specific reason, he didn't seem like an enemy. Kiriya stepped forward, "Young man, you come off being very honest and you don't seem like an enemy, but we can't be certain if we can trust you just yet-" the silver haired gentleman said but was interrupted by an elderly laugh.
"You all have the right to feel suspecious, but come now, he doesn't seem like he means any harm." A voice said, everyone was surprised at the sound of the voice, minus Hiroshi and Angelo who both were confused. From out of nowhere behind Kiriya, came an elderly looking man in traditional japanese robes, he was sporting a combo of a beard and mustache, and fanned himself with a fan. "G-grandpa, what are you doing here." Asuka said in a surprised voice. "Grandpa? So this man is Asuka's grandfather? He must be a strong ninja given the vibes I am getting..." Hiroshi thought to himself as he observed what was going on. "Master Hanzo, what are you doing here?" Kiriya questioned the man who just enetered, "Huh? Hanzo? You mean THE Hanzo? The legendary shinobi himself?" Hiroshi shot right up on his feet in total surprise from what he is now hearing, and seeing with his own 2 eyes. "Yes my young lad, I am Hanzo. I must thank you for helping my granddaughter and her friends." the legendary ninja said with much gratitude in his voice, "Not a problem sir, I was glad to help. This is such an honor, I am not worthy sir!" Hiroshi said with admiration, and went on his knees and bowed his head really hard and hit his forehead really hard. "Hahaha, my goodness boy, no need for that. Now lets get you untied." Hanzo said in a jolly manner, and proceeded to untie Hiroshi.
"Everyone, starting today, this young lad shall be a member of your class. Look after him and treat him fairly." Hanzo said in front of everyone. This shocked and surprised at this revelation. "Grandpa are you sure? I mean, I don't mean to question you or anything, but how are you so sure we can trust Hiroshi?" Asuka asked, trying to make some form of sense about what is now helping. "You all may not see it, but there is much potential in this lad and he may be able to achieve it if he studied along with you and he has an honest face. I can tell he means no harm." Hanzo explained, the man may be old, but he knows good people when he sees them and can definatly see their potential as a shinobi. Hiroshi couldn't beleive what he is hearing but is very grateful, however, he did feel as though Hanzo saw right past his ruse, knowing Hiroshi may have been lying about some things, but Hiroshi decided to worry about that later and tried to go along with what is at hand. "Hmmm, if Hanzo is sure, I suppose it wouldn't be to bad to add the young man into our class. Hiroshi, is this ok with you?" Kiriya said, knowing he may be able to win in an argument with Hanzo over this kind of matter. "Yes, please, I want to join you all and Angelo and I won't get in the way. We'll work and train hard and be really great allies to you all. Please accept us as part of your class." Hiroshi bowed his head in total respect to everyone hoping for their approval.
"A guy in our class huh? This could be a lot of fun." The tall blonde warrior Katsuragi smirked with a sinister smile, this worried everyone including Hiroshi, who felt uneasy. "Y-yeah Hiroshi seems very nice and I like Angelo already too." The young pink haired cutie Hibari added trying to change the subject of what Katsuragi was aiming for, Muramasa nodded with Hibari also thinking Hiroshi didn't seem all that bad. Many of the others think Hiroshi being part of their class wasn't bad, although Yagyuu and Hijikata weren't on board just yet, Ikaruga also had her doubts, but she was willing to at least give Hiroshi a chance. Hiroshi was more then happy to be a part of their class and was looking forward to everthing, even though he was still a little worried about Katsuragi.
After introducing themselves to each other, Hiroshi went home with Angelo and the 2 happily made it back, "Isn't this great buddy? We're going to get continue our training, we'll be strong shinobi yet. I'm just glad we were able to get through this without anyone knowing we are runaways. But I do think Hanzo was on to me for a bit, but I'd best be careful then huh?" Hiroshi discussed with Angelo. The both of them were excited to continue their training as shinobi, but their secret getting out will be a huge problem and there is no way they would be able to be accpeted into the class of Hanzo. They will just have to play their cards correctly and hope for the best...
