(Hayate is seen following the girls as they take Kazuki to the hospital. As he follows them, he uses his stealth techniques to hide his presence in the hospital.)

Hayate: (whispers) Now I just need to wait for the right time to strike those shameless lawbreakers. And the White Dragon Emperor's current state can be a great advantage.

(He spies on them as he already changed his suit.)

(Cut to the hospital, the medic ninjas are seen healing the Crimson Squad and Sakura while Yukikaze and Kazuki watch the healing process. Suddenly Yukikaze has a strange feeling.)

Kazuki: What is it, Yukikaze?

Yukikaze: (holds her head) i'm not sure... it's like... someone's spying on us, but I can't sense the person.

Igawa Sisters: (unison) Same here.

(Suddenly Albion starts controlling his arm, making him shoot in the air.)

Kazuki: Yo, what the fuck, Albion?

????: AARRGGHH!!

(Someone falls down, but easily gets up on his feet. It's Hayate in his armor.)

Hayate: Ugh

Hayate: Ugh... impossible...

Albion: I have already sensed your presence, Hayate Akatsuki!

(Hayate's eyes widen as Albion himself knows his name.)

Kazuki: Hayate, Right? Okay, I don't know what's happening, but you're going down.

Hayate: (raises his hand) Not so fast, Kazuki. Our match will be somewhere else. For now, I must complete my mission.

Kazuki: And that is?

Hayate: (glares coldly) To purge all Taimanin and the female Shinobi.

(The Taimanin and the female shinobi gasp in shock as TenTen's eyes narrow.)

TenTen: Why?

Hayate: (stern) Because you're embarrassing the image of Ninjas by showing off your strength in public and wearing revealing outfits. Also, you violated the number 1 rule of Ninjas.

Hinata: The number one rule of Ninjas?

Hayate: Exactly. Ninjas must not be exposed, but always hide in the shadows.

Asagi: This is not a place to have a fight, you know.

(They rush out of the hospital, but Hayate scoffs.)

Hayate: A predictable strategy. What's to be expected from fake ninjas?

(He teleports outside while Crimson Squad recovers as they witnessed everything,)

Homura: Did you see what I see?

Mirai: Of course I did.

Hikage: Whoever that guy is, he's a ninja too.

(Meanwhile in the hospital's rooftop, Hayate is seen standing in front of Team Hanzo, the Igawa Sisters, Yukikaze, Murasaki, Rinko, TenTen, Hinata and Ino.)

Hayate: You have violated the rules of the ninja! Prepare to be punished!

Ino: Let me ask you something, do you work for Akatsuki?

Hayate: Goddamn no! I'm hunting down those bozos for stealing my family's name. Of course, to deal with them, I need to collect copyright infringement money from them.

(Everything goes silent as a wind blows, and Hayate scratches his head.)

Hayate: Ah, now I said to much, what a waste.

(Hayate draws his sword and prepares to execute one of his techniques.)

Hayate: Ichi no kata: Yamidzuki - Yoi no Miya!

(Hayate quickly draws his sword and slashes swiftly in a singular horizontal motion in a crescent shape, creating numerous chaotic crescent blades. These crescent blades hit the female ninjas as Hayate dashes at them. Asagi dashes back at Hayate as she prepares to strike, but he smirks under his mask.)

Hayate: Ni no kata: Shuka no Rōgetsu!

(Hayate performs several crescent-shaped slashes that defend him from Asagi's attacks, sending a barrage of crescent blades that cut Asagi down, bringing her on her knees. He then kicks her face, knocking her out. Hibari then tries to attack him.)

Hibari: Secret Ninja Arts: Ninto Vroom!

(Hibari calls out for her rabbit guardian, Ninto, who appears driving a cloud. She jumps on top of the cloud as it charges forward, but Hayate prepares to counter.)

Hayate: San no kata: Enkizuki - Tsugari!

(Hayate swings his sword rapidly in two gigantic crescent slashes, from which a storm of smaller crescents spreads, causing huge destruction in the rooftop, forcing the others to back away to other rooftops. Suddenly Hayate's voice is heard.)

Hayate: Yūutsuna tsukiakari - nikkōyoku!

(Hayate charges at Sakura as she gets caught off guard, and stabbed multiple times as she feels like she got hit by several laser beams.)

Hayate: How do you like this, bitch? My Moon Breathing's fourth form makes the stabs of my sword hit my opponent like laser beams.

(Yagyu and Murasaki try to attack Hayate from behind, but he anticipates the attack, and performs his fifth form technique.)

Hayate: Go no kata: Geppaku Saika!

(Hayate makes multiple curved slashes layered over one another, creating a rising vortex of sword slashes and crescent moon blades as the two get slashed and yell in pain as they fall into the ground.)

Hayate: Hmph. Too easy. Didn't need to use my full strength.

(Suddenly someone contacts him. It's Raiden Mei.)

????: Hayate, can you hear me?

Hayate: Roger.

????: It's an emergency, the orcs are raiding the west bank of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Hayate: On my way. (turns off his communicator) I have a change of plans. Lucky you!

(Hayate heads to the west bank of the Hidden Leaf Village, and joins four female ninjas who wear oni masks. Unbeknownst to him, Crimson Squad, even though its members had barely recovered, is quietly following them.)

Yomi: That guy...

(Hayate draws his swords as he turns to the orcs.)

Hayate: I'll make this quick! Roku no kata: Tokoyo Kogetsu - Muken!

(Hayate releases a wild barrage of crescent-shaped slashes several meters in front of him. The barrage easily destroys the orcs as they yell in pain before being reduced to piles of blood.)

Hayate: I gotta admit, that was easier than the last.

(The citizens cheer as they want to thank Hayate, but then he performs a hand sequence.)

Hayate: Nothing happened! Ninjutsu: Memory Eraser!

(A flash of light is unleashed upon the citizens, and then Hayate and the four female ninjas disappear, leaving the citizens confused as they don't seem to remember anything.)

(The scene cuts back to Hayate.)

Hayate: (sighs) I hate to do this to the citizens, but it's for the sake of everyone.

(He and the four female ninjas leave as the screen fades out.)
