"A boy? Asuka and the others are training a BOY?"

At Gessen Girl's Academy, the elite five of the Good Shinobi school were looking over the note that had been given to them by Asuka, telling them of the recent events that had occurred.

Yumi, the icy cool leader of the five, was rather skeptical of this knowledge. While men could be Shinobi, it had always been her team and Asuka, Homura, and Miyabi's groups, not a single male involved...besides Asuka's lecherous grandfather Hanzo.

"Is it a CUTE boy, though?" Asked Shiki, the trendy valley girl who was much more clever and insightful than she appeared.

"Is he nice? Does he like to play games?" Excitedly asked Minori, the childish brunette bouncing up and down with a bright and happy smile.

"Down, Minori." Yozakura, the maternal voice of reason, chided as she put her hands on Minori's shoulders.

"It's interesting to see what is so important about this boy." Murakumo, the masked maiden, commented.

"We will have to see for ourselves," Yumi said as she stood up after putting the note down. "However, I am rather doubtful about the capabilities of this boy."

"Come on, Yu-and-Mi!" Shiki pouted. "Give him a chance! He might just be cute enough to charm even your icy heart!"

Yumi huffed, but the clear glowing of pink on her cheeks was a dead giveaway for Shiki, who gave a cat-like grin in response but said nothing else.

"Homura sent us a message." Miyabi, the mature, white-haired leader of the Hebijo Squad, said to the rest of her team. "Apparently, Asuka and the others at Hanzo are training a BOY in the art of Shinobi."

"What's so irregular about that? There's plenty of male Shinobi. I mean, look at Asuka's Grandpa." Ryobi, the sharp-tongued sniper, pointed out.

"It's best we see what's so special about him." Imu, Miyabi's best friend, suggested. "After all, it's not every day that an all-girl Shinobi group suddenly takes in a member of the opposite sex."

"Oooooh~! I wonder if he knows how to make a person hurt!" Ryona, the adorable masochist, cooed.

"Ugh! Shut up, you hooker! We don't need you and your creepy fetishes scaring him off!" Ryobi snapped, smacking her sister over the head.

"It's best we get Murasaki to come as well..." Miyabi sighed, knowing what they needed to do next.

The next half-hour was spent with the four girls trying to pull Imu's younger sister, the timid, dark reclusive Murasaki, out of her room.

"N-No! P-Please! At least let me save my game!"

The next morning in Riyo's room, his alarm clock went off and he reached out and turned it off.

"Mornings are evil." He groaned, before rolling over and coming face to face with a smiling Hikage laying in his bed.

"Morning."

Riyo let out a monkey-like screech as his tail shot up straight and he leaped onto the ceiling. Hikage, for her part, just got out of bed and looked up at him with her usual blank stare.

"What were you doing in my bed?!"

"Well...I wanted to know what it was like sleeping with a boy."

"So you snuck into my room and just...went into my bed with me and fell asleep?"

"Yeah. Were you expecting anything else to happen?"

"No..." Riyo admitted as he detached from the ceiling and landed flexibly on his feet. "Just surprised you didn't try anything funny."

"Maybe I should have slept naked? That's usually what women do when they sleep with men."

"D-DON'T SAY THINGS LIKE THAT!" Riyo flushed.

"Well, let's go. Homura and the others are waiting."

"Wait, what about Asuka and her friends?"

"They'll be there too. Follow me."

Both the Hanzo Squad and the Crimson Squad were gathered together as they waited for Riyo and Hikage to arrive. Soon enough, they saw them coming.

"About time you showed up! We've been waiting around all day!" Mirai barked.

"For a second, we were worried that Hikage may have decided to keep Riyo-Kun for herself~," Haruka said with a mischievous grin on her face.

"N-Nothing like that happened!" Riyo denied. "S-So what's on the agenda today?"

"Yesterday was to get you in physical shape. Now we need to work on your strength." Ikaruga said.

"And how?" Riyo inquired.

Haruka smirked and snapped her fingers as a spherical droid with boxing glove arms emerged from behind her, doing a few practice jabs before turning its fists into a shield.

"I want you to punch my little toy as hard as you can...a hundred times, to be exact."

"A hundred?"

"That's right. And don't hold back, sweetie~"

Riyo fought off the blush from Haruka's nickname as he then punched the shield, wincing as he felt the metal clang. However, he felt a rush of exhilaration go through him as he began punching the shield harder and harder. The others watched seeing Riyo continue to punch the shield, soon reaching his hundredth punch.

"H-How was that?" He asked as he took a moment to catch his breath.

"Not too shabby. Surprised your knuckles didn't start bleeding there!" Homura commented.

"Now then...THINK FAST!" Katsuragi shouted as she rushed at Riyo with her greaves on.

Riyo let out a monkey-like screech of alarm and moved to defend himself...before a flash of light emitted from his hands and took the form of an ornate red and gold staff with a monkey figurehead on each end.

"The Riyu Jingu Bang..." Ikaruga whispered in awe.

"If anybody had any doubts about him having the power of Sun Wukong...well, those doubts just got crushed, I think." Yagyuu casually commented, though her sole exposed eye was widened in amazement as well.

Riyo admired his new weapon before seeing Katsuragi coming at him again. Despite some awkwardness in his stance, his newfound monkey agility helped him quickly catch up and start easily blocking her blows with his staff.

"Make your opponent give you their all, but make sure you're at a good distance in case up close doesn't work. Then when they leave themselves open, take them down!" Katsuragi shouted as she delivered a kick to his stomach.

Riyo gasped before falling onto his back and groaning, his staff landing on his face unceremoniously. Hikage soon stepped up, slapping hands with Katsuragi as if to tag in before pulling out her knives.

"Take a minute to rest. You're up against me next."

After recomposing himself, Riyo got back to his feet and took a fighting stance once more. Hikage started first by throwing her knives at him, making the monkey boy duck to dodge only for the snake-eyed girl to be on him in an instant, kicking him in the side.

"Hey, I wasn't ready!"

Hikage pulled her arm back for a full stab at Riyo's fallen form, only for his eyes to flash a bright golden yellow, releasing a burst of light that forced everyone else to shield their eyes.

Hikage backed away while rubbing her eyes, when her vision returned, Riyo was back on his feet. Excited at what he just did, he spun his staff around before striking a pose, followed by making some kung-fu monkey sounds.

Undeterred, Hikage resumed her assault, jabbing multiple times with her knives as Riyo went on the defensive, flipping, rolling, and dodging her attacks as he began to get more hyped up.

"This thrill...this is the rush I've been looking for my whole life!"

Hikage threw more knives at Riyo but his eyes glowed a brilliant silver as he exhaled and released a massive gust of wind that blew the knives off-course. His eyes then glowed a fiery red as he spat out fireballs like bullets, making Hikage move to dodge them.

Riyo, his eyes still blazing, spun his staff as the ends caught on fire, weaving up a giant wall of flames in front of him. Hikage backed away and Riyo took that as his chance, rushing through the firewall, which moved and covered his body like an armor of flames as he headbutted the green-haired girl in the stomach, sending her tumbling back.

"Alright! I'M ON FIRE!" He cheered before realizing he was still on fire. "Wait...CRAP! I'M ON FIRE!"

Panicking, Riyo quickly jumped into the nearby lake, which extinguished him as he let out a sigh of relief, steam coming off in droves as he walked over and made sure Hikage was okay.

"Sorry if I got a little rough. I just felt this wave of excitement and I didn't want to lose the feeling."

"You've lived a sheltered life, haven't you?" Yomi guessed. "You poor thing."

"Yeah, Dad never really let me try out the Shinobi life. Heck, I wasn't even sure they were real with how much he kept me in the dark." Riyo shrugged.

"Well, you got an innate talent for fighting, so that's a good thing," Homura said. "Alright, I'm up next! Your ass is mine!"

Riyo gulped, having a feeling that this day of training was going to be a long one...

Riyo will meet the Gessen and Hebijo Squads in the next chapter as he learns to harness more of the powers of Sun Wukong! Stay tuned, folks!
