{Okay guys/gals, so this update WAS gonna be King of Monsters, but due to real life I was indisposed for basically all of February, I'll say more in the after note for those who care. Anyway, this is a Naruto X Senran Kagura story to help me get back on my feet so to speak. It is also gonna be my first Naruto story that doesn't rip said protagonist from his own universe but instead has him start in the new one. With all that said, let's begin.}

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Senran Kagura, they are owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Marvelous AQL respectively. Senran Kagura is fucking amazing though.

*Time Skip/ Area Jump/ Flashback or Dream Sequence*

The sounds of battle echoed through the forests as a trio of first year good shinobi students fought against an unknown opponent on their way back from their first ever unsupervised mission. Said students fought against a woman whose body was completely covered by a black body suit with a hood and a mask that looked like fox's skull and wielding a pair of naginata.

The battle had been going on for more than half an hour before the first mistake was made, and unfortunately it was made by one of the good shinobi as one of them missed their landing after a blocked attack. That trip was all the opening the fox woman needed to attempt to cut the poor first year in half. However, that plan was cut short when one of the first years shoved their comrade out of the way.

The next to sounds to fill the air was the sound of metal cutting through flesh and screams of horror and pain.

*Nightmare End*

A rather nasty bump on the road roused the teenage passenger of the old jalopy of a car as the driver drove down the dirt road to almost unused Dorm of Hanzo Academy, the young passenger turned to glare at the old man driving the vehicle after his rude awakening. The old man in question was dressed in dark green Haori over a brown Gi with his wrists covered in martial arts tape. He also had his long grey hair pulled into a pony tail while his facial hair was pulled into a style that looked like a set of three points and large bushy eyebrows.

The old man glanced at the boy out of the corner of his eye and caught sight of the glare before he spoke. "Had to make sure you were awake when we arrived boya, can't having you getting lost on the way to and from the Academy after all."

The boy merely mumbled curses at the man before stretching in his back and sitting up straighter as his new home came into view. The dorm wasn't really a 'dorm' in the normal sense, but instead was a set of small Japanese style houses designed to house at least two people comfortably. Of course, given how few male shinobi are born nowadays the male dorms have only two buildings compared to the girl's dorms eight.

As the car pulled into the walled off compound, the teen didn't even bother to let the man park as he threw open the door and jumped out of the car with his two small backpacks of stuff as he made his way towards the nearest building. The old man let out a loud barking laugh as he did a tight U-turn before peeling off down the dirt road. Just as the building was fading from the view of his back window, the old man let out a sad smile as he drove back to his personal building.

"Minato, Kushina, I promise I won't give up like the others. I swear on the honor of Hanzo Academy. Your son will be safe here."

*Back with the Blonde*

The blonde wasted no time in throwing open the doors to his new home as he a grin crossed his face. "It's been a while since I've been here, but I'm sure that this place hasn't changed much."

The teen chuckled as he tossed his bags into a random corner of the room before he went to the bathroom to change into his special surprise for his new classmates. "I know one thing for certain though …" The blonde spoke as he threw off his street clothes as he reached the bathroom door. "Everyone's gonna know that I'm back in town now."

*Later, Hanzo Shinobi Classroom*

The five female students of Hanzo Academy's Shinobi Program were enjoying a rather peaceful lunch after their sensei was called to the head masters office. The five shinobi students were as follows.

First there was the class representative Ikaruga. Ikaruga is a refined third year girl with long straight black hair that extends all the way down her thighs, with flat cut bangs resting on her forehead and blue eyes. Ikaruga also holds the responsibility of being the leader of the five girl shinobi team, usually a calm individual; she can become highly agitated by her fellow third years antics. Also the girl's standard weapon was a Nodachi that was named Hein, meaning that she was one of the most dangerous girls in the class.

Next there was the only other third year student Katsuragi. Katsuragi is a girl with long blonde hair adorned with a blue ribbon, knotted with a bow on both sides of her head. Katsuragi is a very perverted girl, and that statement is proven true everyday as the girl groped her fellow Shinobi whenever their guard dropped even the slightest bit. Katsuragi is also a tomboy, and this is reflected in the fact that she uses her own god damn legs as her main weapons.

The only second year student was a girl by the name of Asuka. Asuka fits the standard of the girl hero as she is a small statured girl who has her black hair tied in a medium sized ponytail with a white ribbon bow. In addition to that Asuka has a joyful and friendly personality and believes in team work, sticking together and friendship and on rare occasions she appears to be gullible or clumsy. She also aims to become a powerful ninja like her grandfather, the legendary Hanzo that founded this very academy, causing her to try really hard in training and teachings. Asuka's weapon of choice is a pair matching Wakizashi, although one of them is slightly longer than the other.

After that there is the first of the First Year students Yagyu. Yagyu is a quiet girl with long white hair that is tied into twin tails with small shuriken. Also, her right eye is covered with an eye patch. Yagyu has a stoic and quiet demeanor, usually modest of her own ability. She is also extremely protective of her fellow first year, and she uses an Umbrella as her weapon with frightening results.

Last, but certainly not least, is the final first year Hibari. Hibari is an upbeat girl with pink hair adorned with three black ribbons that tie it into two pigtails and her eyes are peculiarly dotted with two pink, cross-shaped pupils. Hibari is exceedingly innocent, trusting and cheerful; although the fact that she fights with Taijutsu that resembles a child trying to fight another child makes her objectively the weakest of the five.

All five of the girls were in variations of the Hanzo Academy Uniform, a white button up blouse with a dark blue skirt. The outfit also came with a dark blue tie, because school.

Anyway, the five some were sitting around their shared desk with their lunches, generally having a nice time chatting and enjoying the fact that their sensei wasn't around for once by saying whatever they wanted without fear of punishment. All of those positive feelings vanished when the revolving door to their classroom spun rabidly as a trio of throwing knives exploded through it, heading toward the group of ninja hopefuls.

None of the knives hit the targets though, as Ikaruga and Asuka effortlessly blocked their knives while Yagyu used her umbrella to deflect the one heading towards Hibari. Before the knives could even hit the ground, a figure burst through the door. The figure was a man with blonde hair that was pulled into a mop of spikes and bright blue eyes. The male ninja's lower face and right arm was covered by a long orange cloak with tattered edges and a bright red whirlpool mark on the outer patch. His outfit was a burnt orange long sleeved shirt that leads into a black fingerless glove that was covered in dull grey metal plates. Inside that gloved hand was a knife-like weapon made of black metal that curved forward half way down with the sharp edge on the inside of the curve, or a kukri to say is simply. Oh and he wore a pair of black sweat pants with multiple pockets, that might be important.

Anyway, Ikaruga was the first to meet the random ninja's charge with one of her own, resulting in the two blades to clash against each other as the other four shinobi began to try and flank the man. Ikaruga was shocked when the man dropped to the ground, letting Katsuragi fly into her after a failed jump kick due the sword user stumbling forward, resulting in the girls crashing over themselves.

The next one to attack the blonde mystery ninja was Asuka, and the girl was surprised that the blonde was keeping up with both of her swords without using his right hand, only the kukri in his left. Once again the man surprised the female Shinobi group by throwing himself forward and head-butting the girl and knocking her over while avoiding having his legs swept by Yagyu's umbrella.

The man pulled himself into a roll after hitting Asuka and turned back towards the group, but was surprised when he couldn't find Hibari. He was informed of where the pink haired girl was when he felt a fist bonking him on the top of his head.

The blonde stood still for a second before letting out a squeaky, "Owie," before he crumpled over clutching his bits as the pink haired girl's shoe withdrew from his weak point. As the girl's gathered around their attacker, they were surprised when their sensei Kiriya walked through the door and looked over his students and their mysterious assailant.

Kiriya was tall man that constantly wears a black suit with wavy silver hair. He's a very strict individual that never loses his composure no matter what his students do. As a teacher he believes in providing his students with the tools and training they need to succeed so that they may grow into fine shinobi. Though he rarely lets it show, he is quite protective of his students and cares for them deeply.

"Well it looks like Master Hanzo was right and you girl would meet your new classmate in a unique way." The five girls gave their teacher looks with different degrees of shock as the man on the floor let out a few pained coughs as tried, and failed, to stand up. The silver haired sensei sighed before he told his student to return to their seats and wait for him to bring their new classmate to the nurse before he would introduce himself.

*A few minutes of Awkward Silence Later*

When the two men came back into the room the five shinobi students had different expressions on their faces. Ikaruga was covering her mouth with her hands in shock. Katsuragi was wearing an expression of guilt that none of the first years had ever seen before. Asuka was caught between staring at the boy's face and his right arm, looks of wonder and confusion taking effect depending on where she was looking. Hibari was currently a bit pink in the face and looking away from the new boy, which led to Yagyu focusing a glare on him.

Now that he wasn't covering his face with that cloak, the girls were able to see the full extent of the boy's looks, mainly his handsome features and strangely cute whisker marks. He was also moderately built, and anyone that looked hard enough could see that he was well on his way to a perfect shinobi body. The only thing that detracted from his looks in anyway was the fact that his right arm was severed at the shoulder. He was wearing the male version of the Hanzo academy uniform, meaning that he was wearing pants instead of a skirt, and he had his kukri hanging off his left hip by a sheath with a small strap that buttoned to the other side being the only insurance his weapon did fall out at the slightest movement.

The blonde put his good arm behind his head as he smiled at his new classmates before introducing himself. "Hey there, the name's Naruto Uzumaki and were gonna be partners from now on. Let's make this year awesome, believe it!"

{Done and done, okay guy/gals; this is my new story, a Naruto/Senran Kagura crossover. It's gonna be added to the lineup so I'll try and make it good for ya. Enjoy Life Reader.}
