"W-What the? No, no, no, no, no! Not this restart bullshit again! When did I even restart?" Yukio exclaimed.

Yukio got up, and saw himself at the entrance to the Hebijo building.

I'm inside the building? I don't see the Hebijo Elites either. Wait, my restart point is this quick?!

The halls of the building intimidated him.

Ok, I'm gonna be killed if I go save Hibari, so that means I should chase after the Hebijo ninjas, but that's too dangerous. Do I risk it?

Yukio gripped his throat, recalling his previous death.

That woman, who the hell was she? Her voice sounded familiar, yet it's too vague for me to pinpoint it.

"I-I have to do this. Even if I die, I'll just have to find some way." Yukio told himself, and started searching for the Hebijo Elites.

Where did they go? Damn it, why do ninjas have to move so fast?!

Yukio ran up the stairs to the top floor of the building. As he was climbing the many flights of stairs, he heard voices on the upper floors.

"Master Dogen, the Hanzo students have infiltrated the facility." He heard Homura's voice.

"I am aware of the situation, and with Suzune being a traitor, it makes matters even worse. Hebijo Elites, the Shinobi that represent this school, prepare for battle. Defeat is not an option. If you happen to be defeated, I will activate the Yoke technique." A man's voice replied.

"As you wish." The Hebijo Elites said in synchronization.

The man chuckled. "Good, now defend the academy." He ordered.

"Yes sir." The Hebijo Elites responded.

Yukio heard footsteps, so he searched for a spot to hide. He hid in the corner of the hallway, and heard the Hebijo Elites voices.

"You heard the boss, failure is not an option here." Homura said.

"Of course, he kills us using the Yoke technique if we fail." Mirai added.

"And we can't escape the technique either. Unless something were to happen to the user himself that is." Haruka continued.

"That adds an extra bit of thrill to it. Makes me wanna destroy that rich girl even more." Yomi replied.

"I can finally kill that blondie for good too." Hikage said silently.

"Hurry up, let's go search for the Hanzo ninjas." Homura ordered her companions, and they all disappeared.

God, those girls are scary. The Yoke technique? Whatever that technique is supposed to really be, it's only gonna mean bad news. I need to confront this boss guy, and take the scroll back.

Yukio continued up the stairs, and made it to the top floor, completely exhausted.

Alright, I need a little break before I face off against the boss guy.

Yukio squatted down near the wall, until he heard the man's voice.

"Now who are you?" The boss asked.

"Ah!" Yukio was startled by the man's question.

He knew I was here? Shoot, I won't have time for a break.

"I ask you again, who are you?" The boss asked again, his voice grew more hostile.

"Uh...I'm...a messenger." Yukio lied, as he tried to sound like a girl.
