"Wait, grandma?!" Yukio exclaimed.
That's right! Asuka's grandpa laughs the exact same way. So this lady is her grandma?
"This is your grandma, Asuka?" Yumi asked Asuka.
"Yeah." Asuka responded, then turned towards Sayuri. "You had me worried, Grandma. What are you doing here?"
"I'll explain that later, but it's got to do with all of you." Sayuri replied to her granddaughter.
"What does that mean?" Asuka asked
"Wait...is that-" Miyabi pointed towards Ryoki, and her eyes widened. "Impossible! I watched you die. How are you here?!"
"Hehe, I'm back." Ryoki replied.
"Everyone, our sister's back from the dead. Be nice to her." Ryona said, but Ryobi kept silent.
"Alright, now the festival can begin." Sayuri said, and suddenly changed the surroundings to a bright empty nighttime festival.
"Whoa, what the?!" Yukio was shocked from the sudden change in scenery.
"Welcome, young Shinobi." Sayuri announced. "Welcome to the Kagura Millennium Festival."
Kagura Millennium Festival? Kagura...does this festival have to do with that bratty goddess?
"What's the Kagura Millennium Festival?" Yumi asked.
"It's a special event. Where we call out to the Shinobi spirits that have died in vain, and help them pass on in peace." Sayuri explained.
"So dead Shinobi have come back to life here?" Asuka questioned.
"Correct." Sayuri answered.
"So that means they are ghosts, right?" Asuka wondered.
"You afraid of ghosts, Asuka? You're such a child." Homura insulted.
"I'm not scared of them. Are you, Homura?" Asuka countered.
"Eh? Of course not...ghosts are just people, people you can see through." Homura replied.
"Shinobi who have died in vain...that explains Ryoki." Miyabi added.
"So does that mean...grandfather as well..." Yumi trailed off.
"Wait, but why are we here then?" Yukio asked.
"Well, that's a good question, boy. Hmm, I wonder..." Sayuri replied.
"Did she just forget the reason? Asuka, I think your grandma is a little senile...well, she'll need someone to take care of her. I volunteer Yukio." Homura commented.
"Thanks for your concern, sweetie...but if you call me senile again, I'll stuff this wrinkly old foot down your hatch." Sayuri threatened.
"You'll shove it down my what?!" Homura exclaimed.
"I would be careful, Homura. Grandma was stronger than grandpa when she was a Shinobi." Asuka said.
"Wait, seriously?! Stronger than Hanzo?!" Homura exclaimed again.
"Wow, your grandma must be really amazing then." Yukio added.
"Indeed, sweetie. I was ranked Kagura before I retired, so that makes me an ex-Kagura ranked Shinobi." Sayuri boasted
"Be that as it may, I don't have time to spend time with an old lady. If we have no business, then we'll be on our way." Miyabi stated.
"I'm afraid that's impossible. Until the Kagura Millennium Festival is over, no one can leave this world." Sayuri replied.
