Seeing as how the Cul-De-Sac Boys were now appointed as Shinobi, they needed to train with the girls of Hanzo, Gessen, Hebijo, and Homura's Crimson Squad in order to be in proper fighting shape.

Today was all about Shinobi Transformation and Weapons. The seven boys were all in the backyard as the twenty Shinobi Girls stood in front of them.

"Alright you guys, the two primary factors of being Shinobi are transforming so that you're prepared for battle and having your weapons handy. Today, we'll teach you how to harness your Ninja Scrolls to transform as well as fight with your weapons." Asuka said.

"Private Do-Not-Enter is ready for duty, Chief!" Ed said, saluting like a soldier.

"To make sure no bystanders see our training regime, we're first going to set up a Shinobi Barrier," Miyabi said before thrusting her hand out, causing a purplish aura to surround the entire house. "There, we are now invisible to the outside world. Consider this a pocket dimension of sorts."

"A wise move." Double-D nodded. "Now, how do we transform?"

The 20 girls all took out their own Ninja Scrolls before throwing them into the air, a massive flash of light surrounded them as their clothes changed. A lot of them were eye-catching, to say the least.

"Good lord!"

"Holy mackerel!"

"Dude!"

"Ack!"

"You mean 'Dude', Dude."

"No! Rolf means-!"

"Nope, can't think of a word!"

"Wowie-Zowie!"

"Alright, now you boys just hold out your scrolls and shout 'SHINOBI TRANSFORMATION'!" Yumi instructed.

"You got it, Icy Mama!" Eddy smirked as the seven boys mimicked what the girls did and were surrounded by flashes of light. When it subsided, the girls were shocked by what they saw.

Ed was clad like a traditional samurai warrior with a fearsome mask covering his entire face except for his eyes. Double-D wore futuristic samurai armor with a short cape, Eddy wore an outfit reminiscent of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, Kevin wore a heavily armored outfit that looked like something out of a Sci-Fi Fantasy War setting, Rolf wore black hunting gear with a veil covering his mouth, Johnny wore an outfit reminiscent of Robin Hood, and Jimmy wore traditional ninja garb complete with a mask that covered his entire face except for his eyes.

"I guess it makes sense your Shinobi Outfits pertain to your styles and weapons." Ikaruga guessed before drawing her sword. "Now, it is time for battle. Pick a partner and show us a dance cloaked in shadows!"

Ed drew his Kanabo and pointed it at Miyabi, who nodded as she drew her cursed branch sword. Double-D nervously picked Yozakura, who punched her gauntleted fists together. Eddy winked at Ryobi, who scoffed as she loaded her rifle. Kevin made a 'Come on' gesture directed at Ryouna, who squealed in joy as she took out what looked like four pistols, two connected to each other by the stocks.

Rolf bowed to Murakumo, who nodded as she readied her spear and giant cleaver. Johnny pointed at Asuka, who smiled and readied her twin katanas and Jimmy finally picked Yomi, who playfully winked with a finger to her lips before pulling out an utterly massive buster sword.

The first two to start were Ed and Miyabi, who charged at each other like raging bulls. Miyabi swung her sword horizontally as Ed swung his Kanabo over his head and brought it down. The two weapons collided with a massive shockwave that surprised everyone watching.

Double-D went next as he ignited his lightsaber and rushed at Yozakura, who dashed at him with her right fist pulled back, a piston popping out to increase the momentum of her punch. However, Double-D flipped over the incoming punch with a grace that surprised even him as he kicked Yozakura in the back, making her stumble slightly before turning around to resume her assault.

Eddy spun his Blue Fin Tunas in his hands and charged at Ryobi, who fired non-lethal rounds from her rifle. However, the leader of the Eds was nimble on his feet and jumped and flipped around, even smacking a few bullets away with his fish.

Ryona skated toward Kevin, leaving a trail of ice behind as she did various ballerina-like movements while firing her 'Quad-Guns'. Kevin's armor tanked the bullets before he charged forward, moving much faster than his bulky armor would suggest as he swung his Chainsword, revving it up to increase the cutting power before Ryona bent backward limberly and slid underneath the swing.

Rolf and Murakumo both jumped into the air, clashing weapons together before appearing on the other side of each other. Rolf then swung his axe over his head before throwing it like a boomerang at Murakumo, who ducked underneath it before throwing her spear, which Rolf caught with one hand while staring straight ahead, his axe coming back and almost knocking Murakumo down had she not sensed it returning and backflipped over it.

Johnny fired a rapid-fire barrage of arrows at Asuka, who bobbed and weaved through them, even slicing a few down with her swords before rushing forward, holding one sword in front of her in a horizontal state before flipping into the air and throwing several shurikens. Johnny yelped only for Plank to manifest and transform into a giant bear, who swatted the shuriken away with his claws.

"Wow! You didn't tell me you could shapeshift Plank!"

"As your Guardian Spirit, I can take on many forms," Plank explained before turning into a floating shield to block Asuka's diving slash attack.

Jimmy nervously looked at his nunchucks before spinning them around, making some goofy kung-fu noises as he struck a pose. Minori giggled at how silly he was before rushing forward and swinging her bucket, which Jimmy blocked with a swing of his chucks before combining them into their Three-Section Staff form to fight up close and personal.

The sparring went on for over four hours, the Cul-De-Sac Boys switching opponents every so often to handle different opponents. Mirai fired rapid-fire bullets hidden in guns under her dress as well as from her gun umbrella at Kevin, who simply power-charged through them before shoulder-tackling her away. Double-D got into a close-quarters sword clash with Ikaruga and both Eddy and Katsuragi danced around each other constantly.

"Hold still blondie so I can hit ya!" Eddy snapped.

"Take me out to dinner first, Prince Charming!" The Blonde Kicker teased, which only made Eddy steam up.

Soon, the girls decided that training was done for the day as the boys all collapsed, sweat pouring down their bodies as they de-transformed.

"You boys lasted longer than we expected." Haruka giggled. "Maybe you do have that potential after all."

"If this was only the first day, I shudder to think what the next one has in store for us..." Double-D gasped. "I think I'm having heart palpitations..."

"Come on, lover boys. You need some good eats to keep your strength up." Katsuragi laughed. "Come on, let's hit Asuka's Grandpa's place!"

"As long as you're paying for yourself..." Ikaruga sighed.

"Oh, you know Grandpa. Asuka laughed. "He'll probably let us eat for free."

The 27 teens all headed off to enjoy some food after a hard day of training. However, unbeknownst to them was a large reptilian creature glaring from the shadows before turning invisible and prowling off to report to its master about the progress being made by their enemies.

Yeah, these chapters are probably gonna be short because I don't exactly have very big ideas coming. So sorry about all that, friends.
