*There were people who loathed one another.*
**[00:23] ---**
*Their corpses withered in the fields,
their souls soaked in blood...*
**[00:31] ---**
*And their bonds were broken by blades...*
**[00:50] ---**
*Collapsed in the darkness,
their sincerity wails...*
**[01:05] ---**
"My beloved, please die..."
**[01:34] ---**
*Clouds shroud a night with a waning
moon quivering in the haze*
**[01:45] ---**
*A cruel trap involving
a pair of crucified fledglings*°
**[01:55] ---**
*Oh, since smoldering feelings
lie firmly in their hearts...*
**[02:07] ---**
*destruction!*
**[02:08] ---**
*Gently as the water, severely as a flower*
**[02:14] ---**
*pierce with a trembling blade*
**[02:19] ---**
*Even when I shut the fated
tears deep within my eyes*
**[02:25] ---**
*my eyelids still remember you*

**[04:00] ---**
Don't worry...
**[04:04] ---**
It'll only hurt...
**[04:05] ---**
...for a second!
**[04:16] ---**
Iga-no-Ogen!
**[04:18] ---**
That sharpness!
What on earth does that man wield?!
**[04:26] ---**
Female black hair, twined together
and coated with secret animal oils...
**[04:32] ---**
'Tis the secret *Kokujou*
technique of Iga-no-Yashamaru.
**[04:38] ---**
However...
**[04:40] ---**
...there is no point in wasting it so.
**[04:45] ---**
Talk about pathetic, you Kouga geezer!
**[04:48] ---**
'Tis premature to be
boasting of your win, boy...
**[05:12] ---**
Kouga Danjou! What was that?!
**[05:15] ---**
It was phlegm.
**[05:18] ---**
P-Phlegm?!
**[05:21] ---**
To think he would oppose
Yashamaru's *Kokujou* with phlegm...
**[05:28] ---**
Ogen, make not light of it!
**[05:30] ---**
The phlegm of the Kouga Manjidani's
Kazamachi Shougen is like glue!
**[05:36] ---**
Its adhesiveness, several hundred-fold!
**[05:43] ---**
This's more like it, kiddo!
**[05:46] ---**
Now you can't play cat's cradle anymore.
**[05:50] ---**
Bastard!
**[06:04] ---**
I'll kill you...
**[06:05] ---**
...Kouga scum!
**[06:08] ---**
To think I'd ever see
eye-to-eye with Iga trash!
**[06:49] ---**
*Chief of the Kouga Manjidani group,
Kouga Danjou...*
**[06:53] ---**
*Chief of the Iga
Tsubagakure group, Ogen...*
**[06:57] ---**
*What ill-boding people...*
**[07:01] ---**
*Now I understand why the first
Hanzo sealed them in darkness*
**[07:05] ---**
*and forced them into an anti-war pact...*
**[07:09] ---**
*Still, I do not understand*
**[07:11] ---**
*why leyasu-sama would
wish to observe such rabble...*
**[07:24] ---**
Ninja...
**[07:25] ---**
Indeed.
**[07:28] ---**
So a priest says to use ninja to
decide the next Tokugawa shogunate...
**[07:33] ---**
Edo Castle is split into two factions
over Hidetada-*sama*'s successor;
**[07:37] ---**
one for Takechiyo-*sama*, and one
for younger brother Kunichiyo-*sama*.
**[07:42] ---**
Even the senior guards
**[07:42] ---**
"Tokugawa Bakufu Overseer
- Nankoubou Tenkai"
**[07:45] ---**
partake in this family quarrel...
**[07:47] ---**
Should we ignore this,
even if we do destroy Toyotomi,
**[07:51] ---**
the Tokugawa shall also
follow the path to destruction.
**[07:57] ---**
I know...
**[07:58] ---**
That is the reason I consult you, Priest.
**[08:02] ---**
And I have stated my thoughts.
**[08:06] ---**
However, it is far too late
to settle things with reason.
**[08:11] ---**
Empathetic consideration
would also prove futile.
**[08:15] ---**
Consequently, the next wisest
choice would be to decide by having
**[08:20] ---**
two worthy warrior families vie
in a 10-game match of swords...
**[08:25] ---**
Doing thusly would also
save many Tokugawa samurai
**[08:29] ---**
from dying pointless deaths...
**[08:33] ---**
Therefore, ninja?
**[08:35] ---**
Indeed...
**[08:37] ---**
Even if ninja should slay one
another and perish in a sea of blood...
**[08:45] ---**
...it would make no difference to anyone!
**[09:03] ---**
Enough. Stop them.
**[09:05] ---**
--That is enough!
**[09:05] ---**
--That is enough!
**[09:18] ---**
Kouga and Iga...
**[09:20] ---**
To think such people would hide in
a province bordering the Yagyuu...
**[09:27] ---**
How blind I have been!
**[09:29] ---**
I had heard of their names
from the first Hanzo.
**[09:33] ---**
Their *ninpou* is said to
surpass ordinary techniques.
**[09:37] ---**
Yes. That was most impressive.
**[09:40] ---**
Kouga Danjou, Iga-no-Ogen,
I truly thank you both.
**[09:49] ---**
Incidentally...
**[09:53] ---**
Would you be willing to help
determine the Tokugawa successor...
**[09:57] ---**
...by fighting to the death
in a *ninpou* competition?
**[10:04] ---**
Allow me to humbly say this.
**[10:07] ---**
Speak.
**[10:08] ---**
We... have been bitter rivals for 400 years.
**[10:13] ---**
Even were it not for the Tokugawa family...
**[10:17] ---**
Rescind the anti-war pact we made
with the first Hattori Hanzo-*sama*...
**[10:24] ---**
...and we can begin.
**[10:33] ---**
As you wish.
**[10:35] ---**
Yes. Well stated, Hanzo.
**[10:41] ---**
Then...
**[10:43] ---**
Inscribe upon these two scrolls
the names of ten ninja of each clan.
**[10:49] ---**
The Kouga shall represent the faction
wishing Kunichiyo to be heir.
**[10:54] ---**
The Iga shall represent
the Takechiyo faction.
**[10:57] ---**
I entrust to them the selection
of the third-generation shogun.
**[11:00] ---**
And once the two sides
fight and slay one another,
**[11:03] ---**
the one to survive with this secret
scroll in hand shall be the victor!
**[11:08] ---**
"The Ten Kouga"
**[11:09] ---**
"By Decree of Tokugawa leyasu"
**[11:10] ---**
1000 years of glory
are promised to one clan!
**[11:17] ---**
To Kouga Manjidani...
**[11:19] ---**
To Iga Tsubagakure...
**[11:28] ---**
This is certainly an odd
turn of events, Ogen...
**[11:32] ---**
That it is...
**[11:33] ---**
Just as we were nearing conciliation
through our grandchildren's love...
**[11:40] ---**
The two could very well be
with each other as we speak...
**[11:44] ---**
Such a pity... It just wasn't in the stars...
**[11:49] ---**
Wasn't in the stars...
**[11:58] ---**
Fate, indeed...
**[12:00] ---**
Providence is terrifying...
**[12:24] ---**
"9th Year of Tenshou (1581 A.D.)"
**[12:32] ---**
Danjou-*sama*!
**[12:34] ---**
Ogen-*dono*!
**[12:38] ---**
Sorry I'm late!
**[12:48] ---**
Today is the last day
we can meet in secret...
**[12:52] ---**
Yes.
**[12:53] ---**
The next time we can meet is
after both the Iga and Kouga clans
**[12:58] ---**
have been freed from
their long-standing grudge.
**[13:02] ---**
It won't be that long.
**[13:04] ---**
The Kouga elder is on my side.
**[13:07] ---**
Hattori Hanzo-*sama*, too, wishes
for a truce between the clans.
**[13:12] ---**
If I ask for mediation, they will
unquestionably spare no effort to help.
**[13:18] ---**
Yes, Danjou-*sama*...
**[13:23] ---**
We must briefly part, Ogen-*dono*...
**[13:26] ---**
The sun is about to set. Make haste.
**[13:30] ---**
Ogen-*dono*, what is wrong?
**[13:33] ---**
Do you think it will be?
**[13:34] ---**
Come again?
**[13:36] ---**
Do you think... there will
be peace in our lifetime?
**[13:41] ---**
Do not be fainthearted...
**[13:44] ---**
We must both patiently
persuade those close to us.
**[13:48] ---**
When the time is right,
we will bring both sides together...
**[13:52] ---**
...and tell them about us.
**[13:59] ---**
Ogen-*dono*...
**[14:01] ---**
I will do my utmost...
**[14:07] ---**
I love you...
**[14:10] ---**
And I you, Ogen.
**[14:12] ---**
That's the first time
you've ever called me "Ogen"!
**[14:21] ---**
I have cleansed my body...
**[14:42] ---**
That's...
**[14:44] ---**
The Tsubagakure village!
**[15:08] ---**
The Tsubagakure lookouts
would never be destroyed so easily!
**[15:12] ---**
This is no ordinary raid!
**[15:13] ---**
Who would dare attack the Iga, and why?!
**[15:18] ---**
Oda!
**[15:50] ---**
Ogen! Where is the elder?!
**[15:54] ---**
Ogen!
**[16:05] ---**
Ogen!
**[16:06] ---**
My shoulder...
**[16:08] ---**
It only grazed it...
**[16:18] ---**
Grandfather!
**[16:24] ---**
Ogen...
**[16:25] ---**
I'm sorry. We rushed straight
here, but he was already...
**[16:25] ---**
"First Generation - Hattori Hanzo"
**[16:30] ---**
Kouga Danjou, why are you here?
**[16:37] ---**
I see...
**[16:52] ---**
The Iga are doomed if nothing is done!
Escape with the survivors!
**[16:56] ---**
Bastard!
**[16:57] ---**
Ogen!
**[16:59] ---**
Ogen! Just accept it!
**[17:07] ---**
The hammer will drop on Nobunaga eventually!
**[17:10] ---**
No human being would
carry out such an injustice!
**[17:25] ---**
Danjou-*sama,* return to the Kouga...
**[17:28] ---**
I promise I'll come see you someday.
**[17:31] ---**
No, we need to get you to safety.
But first you need medical attention...
**[17:40] ---**
Sakinta!
**[17:42] ---**
Who's there?!
**[17:47] ---**
Hannojou! Hikoza!
**[17:56] ---**
*This is a Kouga blade!*
**[18:00] ---**
Danjou-*sama*.
**[18:01] ---**
Renbu!
**[18:02] ---**
Why are you in Tsubagakure first?
**[18:05] ---**
I'll explain later! Why do you kill the Iga?!
**[18:08] ---**
What an odd question...
**[18:10] ---**
The retired shogun has
ordered us to use this opportunity
**[18:12] ---**
to exterminate the Iga!
**[18:15] ---**
What?!
**[18:18] ---**
'Tis hardly an onerous job.
**[18:22] ---**
Oda's lines are infallible.
**[18:24] ---**
All we're doing is
exterminating the Iga insects
**[18:27] ---**
who dare to slip through the cracks!
**[18:30] ---**
Unforgivable! *I* am the chief!
**[18:33] ---**
It was decided that your opinions
on this matter need no consideration!
**[18:39] ---**
That can't be!
**[18:41] ---**
Danjou-*sama*...
**[18:43] ---**
Have you deceived us... and me?!
**[18:49] ---**
Ogen! How can you say that?!
**[18:51] ---**
Wait! This is some sort of--
**[18:54] ---**
Ogen?!
**[18:55] ---**
Ogen!
**[18:57] ---**
Ogen!
**[19:01] ---**
Your wound!
**[19:05] ---**
You said it was your shoulder,
but it's actually near a vital spot!
**[19:10] ---**
Ogen! Show me your wound!
**[19:12] ---**
Ogen!
**[19:37] ---**
I guess it just wasn't in the stars...
**[19:42] ---**
Please die...
**[19:44] ---**
Kouga...
**[19:46] ---**
...Danjou!
**[20:04] ---**
Incidentally, Ogen.
**[20:06] ---**
I doubt you know who
the Kouga Manjidani Ten are...
**[20:11] ---**
Likewise, I doubt you know
who the Iga Tsubagakure Ten are...
**[20:16] ---**
Ten?
**[20:18] ---**
You mean nine.
**[20:22] ---**
You let your guard down...
**[20:26] ---**
That Yashamaru boy is
still quite inexperienced...
**[20:34] ---**
"Ogen"
**[20:38] ---**
Dan--
**[20:40] ---**
Farewell, Ogen!
**[20:54] ---**
'Tis the fate of one born a *shinobi*, Ogen...

*and life sprouts silently*
**[22:44] ---**
*The dew of emotions that dances
and flutters about in the spring wind*
**[22:56] ---**
*is a crumbling butterfly dream that
wildly disturbs the path of the stars*
