Ranma did his usual thing in such circumstances. He went out, found a rival school, learned enough to counter the special techniques used against him, then went back and beat the high holy heck out of Kensuke Ichibara. Ranma didn't lose, very often. If you insulted him, he'd get payback. Insult his FAMILY? Not a good thing to do.
Kensuke Ichibara had had his throwing knives taken away, his throwing accupuncture needles lost, his poison gas bomb shoved up his own posterior and detonated, and his "beautiful face" not so pretty after the fighting was said and done.
Kensuke was taken away and disciplined after that. A ninja wasn't supposed to use their secret weapons out where anyone could see, and they certainly weren't supposed to get their buttocks handed to them on a silver platter in public.
Twins were rare in Japan. Due to a fertility drug being used, their mother had given birth to quintuplets. After which she said that was more than enough and she foreswore having any more kids. All girls.
Ichiko was the Red Kunoichi, and the nominal leader. She thought the modern era was inferior to the feudal era and was very much dedicated to the ninja ideal. Not as it was practiced in the feudal era, but more as it was practiced in movies of the feudal era. She was also dedicated to her big brother.
Niiko was the Blue Kunoichi, and was the most technical and intelligent of the group. She was actually (in secret) the most favored among the five by the heads of clan - as her computer skills were of interest to those who wanted to move the clan forward to modern times and methods. Those who valued traditional ninja skills would have favored Goko or Ichiko more.
Sanko was the Pink Kunoichi, and the most feminine of the group. When she wasn't being dragged into the ninja-girl role, she was almost a yamato nadesico sort.
Shiiko was the Yellow Kunoichi, and was quite frankly - a ditz. She would occasionally make an observation that seemed to be intelligent but that was rare. She was fumble-fingered and a walking disaster area much more often.
Goko was the combat monster and Green Kunoichi. Fighting was what she lived for, though she'd recently taken an interest in puzzle games. Fighting got her blood up, and she eschewed subtle or sneaky in favor of directly beating on the target.
Each of the quintuplets went after a target. Sailor Venus had knocked out Ichiko with a single Sailor V Kick. Heart of a feudal era ninja, jaw of glass.
The Blue Kunoichi hadn't really been into this scenario, and had been hoping her new "Taser Punch" would subdue the target quickly. Alas, Sailor Moon had knocked her into the water and while she'd been dazed from the shortcircuit - a tree branch had knocked her out.
Having been blinded and beaten up by Sailor Mercury would have mortified Goko, except that her last thought before unconsciousness was joyful. She'd at last found a worthy ninja opponent as that fog attack was clearly a ninja trick.
Sailor Mars had taken out the Pink Kunoichi. Sailor Jupiter had flattened the Yellow Kunoichi.
After a few minutes had passed, the kunoichi went off in search of their opponents to try this again.
Ranma checked but each of the training dummies was still new and untargetted. "Maybe I did too good a job on the camouflage?"
