[00:06] ---
    So, Lord Seventh...
    What does the mission entail?
[00:10] ---
    Well...
[00:11] ---
    I'd like Team 5 to deliver
[00:14] ---
    a newly-developed range
    of fully-automated puppets
[00:16] ---
    to a mine in the Land of Water.
[00:19] ---
    Yes, sir.
[00:20] ---
    Will we be accompanied by researchers
[00:22] ---
    who can use the puppets?
[00:23] ---
    No.
[00:25] ---
    Katasuke and the other researchers
    who developed them
[00:27] ---
    have other jobs to handle
    in the Land of Water.
[00:30] ---
    They're scheduled to join up
    with you later on.
[00:33] ---
    This time, we'd like just
    the three of you to transport them.
[00:37] ---
    This is a B-rank mission.
[00:39] ---
    What?!
[00:40] ---
    These fully-automated puppets
    are the latest model.
[00:43] ---
    There's a good chance that
    someone might come after them.
[00:46] ---
    Denki, we've determined that your team
[00:48] ---
    is perfectly suited to handle this mission.
[00:51] ---
    We're counting on you.
[00:53] ---
    Yes, sir!

    Aw man...
SIGN    1\pos(476,226)\fad(640,500)}Captain Denki's First Mission*
[02:28] ---
    I wonder if we'll get a big mission
    this time around.
[02:33] ---
    What do you mean by a big mission?
[02:35] ---
    A mission that does not involve
    finding a lost pet.
[02:39] ---
    That's right.
[02:41] ---
    You guys have been handling
    difficult missions,
[02:44] ---
    so why are we the only ones
    who haven't gotten anything flashy?
[02:47] ---
    Flashy?
[02:48] ---
    Well, it must be because of
    Team 7's abilities and competency!
[02:53] ---
    You couldn't even make it
    to the Chunin Exam...
[02:57] ---
    Don't bring that up!
[02:59] ---
    But Lord Seventh called him in, didn't he?
[03:02] ---
    I'm guessing it must be
    an important mission.
[03:03] ---
    Yes. I think so too, but...
[03:07] ---
    – Oh!
    – Oh!
[03:11] ---
    How was it?
[03:12] ---
    Well...
[03:13] ---
    Hold on!
[03:15] ---
    Don't tell me we're looking
    for another pet or something.
[03:18] ---
    No, we're not!
[03:19] ---
    It was a B-rank mission!
[03:21] ---
    Oh man, a B-rank, huh...
[03:26] ---
    – What?!
    – What?!
[03:27] ---
    – A B-rank?!
    – A B-rank?!
SIGN    TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY
[03:31] ---
    I'm glad you're here.
[03:34] ---
    Let me explain the details of this mission.
[03:39] ---
    This is Dotou Island in the Land of Water.
[03:43] ---
    For quite a long time,
[03:44] ---
    fishing has been this island's main industry.
[03:47] ---
    But ever since gold was excavated
[03:48] ---
    from the mountain at
    the center of the island,
[03:51] ---
    gold has become
    the island's main source of income.
[03:54] ---
    However, the ground there is soft,
[03:58] ---
    so excavation comes with great risk.
[04:01] ---
    And thus, comes the need for...
[04:09] ---
    ...these fully-automated miniature puppets!
[04:14] ---
    Wow!
[04:15] ---
    What are those?!
[04:17] ---
    Amazing!
[04:18] ---
    Are these the ones you talked about?
[04:20] ---
    Yes.
[04:21] ---
    And once you've transported them
    to Dotou Island,
[04:23] ---
    I'd like for you to run some test runs
[04:26] ---
    and adjust their movements
[04:28] ---
    until the researchers and I
    arrive at the island.
[04:30] ---
    What?! But why me?
[04:33] ---
    Well, the truth is that
[04:34] ---
    the researchers who will be participating
[04:36] ---
    are data analysis specialists,
[04:39] ---
    so they're not great at maintenance.
[04:42] ---
    But still!
[04:43] ---
    Could you do this as a favor to me?
[04:46] ---
    Our captain is great at stuff like that!
[04:50] ---
    Please leave it to him!
[04:51] ---
    But it's not that simple!
[04:53] ---
    Please, Denki!
[04:54] ---
    Oh...
[04:56] ---
    Well, if you insist.
[04:59] ---
    Thank you!
[05:00] ---
    I'm counting on all of you.
[05:02] ---
    – Yes, sir!
    – Yes, sir!
[05:03] ---
    I shall now explain the system in detail
[05:05] ---
    that's been compiled
    in this 200-page summary.
[05:08] ---
    First, this is the basic algorithm
    that this system uses.
[05:09] ---
    My stomach is starting to hurt...
[05:12] ---
    Mine too.
[05:13] ---
    It's okay, you guys.
    You can leave without me.
[05:18] ---
    ...so that completes the basic specifications
[05:20] ---
    of these fully-automated puppets.
[05:21] ---
    I'll send you a list of the minor things that
[05:23] ---
    you need to be careful of to your device.
[05:26] ---
    Okay!
[05:27] ---
    For the most part, please
    operate it using this controller.
[05:42] ---
    Basically, their basic movements
    are like this.
[05:45] ---
    Do you have any questions?
[05:47] ---
    I think I have a grasp of it.
[05:49] ---
    As expected, you absorb things quickly.
[05:52] ---
    Umm... I have a question
    that's unrelated to the mission.
[05:56] ---
    Of course! Go on!
[05:57] ---
    When you created this,
[05:59] ---
    what was the most difficult part
    of the process?
[06:01] ---
    Everything!
[06:04] ---
    What? Everything?!
[06:06] ---
    This isn't just limited to these puppets,
[06:09] ---
    but wanting to scrap things midway
    happens quite often.
[06:12] ---
    But in the end, with each failure,
    one can make new discoveries.
[06:16] ---
    Failure is the foundation of success.
[06:19] ---
    Also, in order to succeed,
[06:21] ---
    you need to adapt to any changes
    that arise as you go.
[06:25] ---
    One needs to be able to play it by ear...
[06:27] ---
    Correct?
[06:29] ---
    Thankfully, I managed
    to complete them somehow.
[06:32] ---
    I feel very honored
[06:33] ---
    that you would entrust us
    with something so valuable.
[06:37] ---
    This is quite the responsibility.
[06:40] ---
    I wanted you to be the one to handle this.
[06:44] ---
    What?!
[06:45] ---
    I saw your Chunin Exam.
[06:53] ---
    The match is over!
[06:54] ---
    The winner is Denki Kaminarimon!
[06:57] ---
    In that moment, I felt...
[06:59] ---
    that you showed me a world of possibilities
[07:01] ---
    for Scientific Ninja Tools.
[07:04] ---
    So, now that you're the captain
    of Team Five,
[07:07] ---
    I wanted your team to handle this mission.
[07:10] ---
    I see.
[07:12] ---
    If it were just a matter of transporting them
[07:13] ---
    to the target location,
[07:14] ---
    I could have asked any other team.
[07:17] ---
    But I felt there was no one better
    to act in my place.
[07:23] ---
    It's encouraging that
    you thought of me, Mr. Katasuke!
[07:27] ---
    I'm counting on you.
[07:29] ---
    Yes, sir!
[07:33] ---
    The first day of our mission
    has finally arrived!
[07:36] ---
    Let us depart, full of vigor!
[07:42] ---
    What's going on?
[07:44] ---
    We haven't left yet and
    you're already sleepy?
[07:46] ---
    Did you not get enough sleep last night?
[07:48] ---
    Um, kinda.
[07:50] ---
    Man! You couldn't sleep because
[07:52] ---
    you were too excited before
    your first big mission, huh?
[07:54] ---
    Are you a kid or something?
[07:55] ---
    Are you sure you are not
    referring to yourself, Iwabe?
[07:58] ---
    Hey! That's not me!
[08:01] ---
    We're counting on you, Captain!
[08:03] ---
    Uh, okay!
[08:09] ---
    It has arrived!
[08:20] ---
    We haven't done this since our field trip.
[08:44] ---
    I see.
[08:45] ---
    Are you boys going to Gold Mountain, too?
[08:48] ---
    Yes, well...
[08:50] ---
    No, we're actually—
[08:52] ---
    Iwabe, that's top secret.
[08:55] ---
    Exactly.
[08:57] ---
    Huh?
[08:58] ---
    I know, I know!
[09:02] ---
    Iwabe! Don't do that!
[09:04] ---
    The fully-automated puppets are right there—!
[09:06] ---
    Hey, you ended up saying it yourself.
[09:09] ---
    He sure did.
[09:11] ---
    I heard that there's so much gold coming out
[09:13] ---
    from that mountain on the island
[09:15] ---
    that they can't excavate it fast enough.
[09:18] ---
    People are gathering there from all over!
[09:22] ---
    Look, it's coming into view!
[09:25] ---
    Whoa! So that's Gold Mountain, huh?
[09:27] ---
    We have finally made it!
[09:30] ---
    Hey, Denki, you don't seem very excited.
[09:33] ---
    Are you not feeling well?
[09:35] ---
    I'm just a bit nervous.
[09:37] ---
    But I'll be fine.
[09:41] ---
    Keep it together, Captain!
[09:43] ---
    Please do not push yourself too hard.
[09:48] ---
    I've been waiting for you.
[09:50] ---
    You're the shinobi from
    the Hidden Leaf, right?
[09:53] ---
    I'm Oonami, the chief of the excavation site.
[09:55] ---
    I'm Denki Kaminarimon.
[09:57] ---
    This is Iwabe Yuino and Metal Lee.
[10:02] ---
    So... are you the only ones here?
[10:05] ---
    That's right!
[10:06] ---
    He's our captain.
[10:08] ---
    What?
[10:10] ---
    A young boy like you?
[10:12] ---
    Will you be able to handle this?
[10:13] ---
    What do you mean by that?
[10:14] ---
    Iwabe!
[10:16] ---
    It's just that... the puppets we ordered
[10:18] ---
    were supposed to be the latest model!
[10:19] ---
    What matters is that
    he can do the work, right?
[10:22] ---
    Um, the developers will be coming later on.
[10:25] ---
    I was trained on how to fine-tune them,
[10:27] ---
    so please rest assured!
[10:29] ---
    Well, if you say so.
[10:31] ---
    Then I'll guide you to the excavation site.
[10:34] ---
    Yes, thank you!
[10:36] ---
    I need to make him acknowledge my efforts
[10:38] ---
    as those that befit a captain...
[10:39] ---
    That'll also fulfill
    Mr. Katasuke's expectations...
[10:53] ---
    Now comes the hard part.
[10:56] ---
    From here until the mine entrance,
[10:57] ---
    we'll be on a rough and steep trail,
[10:59] ---
    so prepare yourselves.
[11:00] ---
    Yes, sir!
[11:04] ---
    I thought I was prepared for this...
[11:06] ---
    but this is pretty rough!
[11:14] ---
    Denki, you're falling behind.
[11:16] ---
    You're all worn out!
[11:21] ---
    Would you like to rest for a bit?
[11:29] ---
    Are you...
[11:30] ---
    really a shinobi?
[11:33] ---
    Yes... I'm so sorry.
[11:36] ---
    Oh, in that case,
    shall I carry your things for you?
[11:42] ---
    No, that's all right.
[11:44] ---
    We have only
    a little further to go, after all.
[11:46] ---
    What's this?!
[11:48] ---
    Denki, you have acquired a lot
    more stamina compared to before.
[11:52] ---
    No, I still have a long way to go!
[11:57] ---
    This is the entrance.
[11:59] ---
    It is totally evening now.
[12:03] ---
    Thanks for your hard work, Chief.
[12:04] ---
    Sorry, I'm late.
[12:06] ---
    Let's trade off.
[12:07] ---
    Okay.
[12:08] ---
    Well, see you again tomorrow morning.
[12:12] ---
    Aren't you going to close the entrance?
[12:14] ---
    Well, we have a two-shift system,
[12:18] ---
    so if we close it for security,
[12:20] ---
    we'll be trapped inside
[12:21] ---
    until the next staff member
    comes to trade off.
[12:23] ---
    Huh...
[12:34] ---
    Ah, Chief! Welcome back!
[12:36] ---
    Where were you?
[12:39] ---
    Everyone, gather around for a bit.
[12:41] ---
    I have some very good news.
[12:44] ---
    Could you show them?
[12:46] ---
    Yes!
[12:55] ---
    Everyone, don't be shocked when you see this!
[12:57] ---
    I've decided to bring
    in the latest technology
[12:59] ---
    from the Land of Fire...
[13:01] ---
    They're fully-automated puppets
[13:03] ---
    that'll do the dangerous work
    that you've been doing.
[13:07] ---
    Could you make them move?
[13:08] ---
    That should be no problem.
[13:44] ---
    Wow!
[13:51] ---
    This is quite amazing!
[13:54] ---
    You're controlling them so easily.
[13:58] ---
    Operating them is not an issue
    once you get used to it.
[14:00] ---
    That being said,
    if I don't make some adjustments,
[14:03] ---
    you won't be able to make use of them.
[14:05] ---
    I see. We're counting on you.
[14:07] ---
    What do you think?
[14:08] ---
    Our captain is quite amazing, isn't he?
[14:10] ---
    He sure is!
[14:18] ---
    How's this?
[14:20] ---
    I think you should tighten it a little more.
[14:22] ---
    Okay!
[14:26] ---
    Shall I do the same for this one as well?
[14:28] ---
    Yes, please!
[14:32] ---
    Hey!
[14:33] ---
    Just wait!
[14:43] ---
    Okay! That should do it.
[14:45] ---
    Yeah!
[14:47] ---
    Shall we resume the test run?
[14:49] ---
    Sounds good.
[14:50] ---
    Now let's return to the excavation spot.
[14:58] ---
    What's going on?!
[15:00] ---
    What's the meaning of this, you two?!
[15:02] ---
    This is exactly what it looks like.
[15:04] ---
    We're going to take this gold.
[15:05] ---
    Bandits?!
[15:07] ---
    Just because you were shorthanded,
[15:08] ---
    it was a mistake to hire people
[15:10] ---
    without running any background checks.
[15:12] ---
    We were secretly hoarding it away,
[15:14] ---
    but that puppet and
    those kids ended up finding it!
[15:16] ---
    All of our hard work has gone to waste!
[15:19] ---
    Well, this is our chance.
[15:21] ---
    Let's go.
[15:24] ---
    Don't move!
[15:35] ---
    I'll go on ahead!
[15:37] ---
    Okay!
[15:45] ---
    Damn those guys!
[15:46] ---
    You're not getting away!
[15:48] ---
    Earth Style—!
[15:48] ---
    Don't!
[15:50] ---
    If you use Earth Style here,
    this mine could collapse.
[15:54] ---
    Damn it!
[16:01] ---
    See you later!
[16:06] ---
    Mr. Oonami, please open the door!
[16:08] ---
    I can't.
[16:09] ---
    What?!
[16:10] ---
    This door was meant to prevent
    any workers from stealing gold.
[16:14] ---
    It can't be opened from the inside.
[16:17] ---
    Are there any other exits?
[16:19] ---
    This is the only one.
[16:21] ---
    It won't open until
    the next staff member comes
[16:23] ---
    to trade watch tomorrow morning.
[16:24] ---
    No way!
[16:30] ---
    This is—!
[16:33] ---
    Damn it, they sealed the air vents
[16:35] ---
    and turned off the ventilation system.
[16:36] ---
    Which means that we're sealed in.
[16:40] ---
    At this rate, the air will
    gradually grow thinner.
[16:43] ---
    By the time the door opens tomorrow...
[16:49] ---
    What do we do?
[16:51] ---
    If the door can't open,
[16:52] ---
    then we just have to create an exit.
[16:54] ---
    Create an exit? But, if we do that—!
[16:57] ---
    I can't use my Earth Style, right?
[17:01] ---
    Think... Think!
[17:07] ---
    Even if I use the puppets
    to continue digging from here...
[17:10] ---
    it'll take quite some time before
    they reach the lowest stratum.
[17:14] ---
    Is there any other way?
[17:20] ---
    There is!
[17:22] ---
    If we dig along the thin, but stable stratum
[17:24] ---
    that's connected to this tunnel,
    it shouldn't collapse.
[17:29] ---
    Are you sure this is going to work?
[17:32] ---
    It will!
[17:33] ---
    Knowing our captain, it will!
[17:37] ---
    We're counting on you guys!
[17:56] ---
    We have an exit now!
[17:58] ---
    We did it.
[17:59] ---
    Amazing!
[18:01] ---
    You saved us!
[18:02] ---
    No, not yet.
[18:03] ---
    What?
[18:04] ---
    We're going to get the stolen gold back.
[18:14] ---
    We're going to have them look for it.
[18:16] ---
    What?!
[18:17] ---
    We'll use their gold-detecting function.
[18:31] ---
    Hey!
[18:32] ---
    I can't believe they came after us.
[18:33] ---
    They're so stupid, aren't they?
[18:35] ---
    Those kids should have just stayed put.
[18:38] ---
    Water Style!
[18:40] ---
    What?!
[18:41] ---
    So, they were ninja?!
[18:45] ---
    Water Dragon Jutsu!
[18:47] ---
    Earth Style!
[18:49] ---
    Mud Wall!
[18:57] ---
    The puppets!
[19:02] ---
    Did they break?
[19:04] ---
    Thank goodness! They seem to be okay.
[19:06] ---
    They're done with their job, right?
[19:08] ---
    So, put 'em away!
[19:16] ---
    Why you—!
[19:20] ---
    You need to adapt to any changes
    that arise as you go.
[19:26] ---
    Play it by ear...
[19:41] ---
    All right, that's good!
[19:43] ---
    One more hit!
[19:51] ---
    Damn it!
[19:57] ---
    Earth Style: Stone Brick!
[20:00] ---
    Leave this to me!
[20:15] ---
    You bastard!
[20:16] ---
    I will deal with this one!
[20:22] ---
    Leaf Hurricane!
[20:43] ---
    Thank you!
[20:45] ---
    I don't know how I can express my gratitude!
[20:47] ---
    Also, I'm sorry for all
    the rude things I said.
[20:50] ---
    It's fine!
    I'm just glad that everyone's safe.
[20:53] ---
    With our captain's brains and our brawn,
[20:57] ---
    we're the strongest team
    of shinobi in the Leaf.
[20:59] ---
    That's a bit too much, Iwabe.
[21:02] ---
    I'll let you take care of the rest.
[21:04] ---
    – Yes, sir!
    – Yes, sir!
[21:05] ---
    Good morning!
[21:06] ---
    I've brought the researchers
    from the Hidden Leaf with me!
[21:10] ---
    Denki!
[21:11] ---
    Sorry to have kept you waiting.
[21:12] ---
    Thank you for all your hard work!
[21:14] ---
    Looks like our job here is done.
[21:16] ---
    Yeah.
[21:17] ---
    That said, Denki, you're amazing!
[21:20] ---
    I cannot believe you knew
    so much about this mine.
[21:26] ---
    I had heard the geological stratum
    of this mountain
[21:28] ---
    was quite complex,
[21:30] ---
    so I did some research.
[21:34] ---
    So, that's why you were so sleepy.
[21:37] ---
    I figured I had expectations to live up to.
[21:41] ---
    That makes sense.
[21:42] ---
    Anyway, our first B-rank mission
    was a big success.
[21:46] ---
    It's not over yet.
[21:48] ---
    Now that the researchers have joined us,
[21:50] ---
    there's a lot we have to do!
[23:25] ---
    As of today,
[23:27] ---
    Kawaki will now be under
    the supervision of Team 7.
[23:30] ---
    I know it makes for
    an unusual team set-up,
[23:32] ---
    but I believe it will produce
    great results!
[23:35] ---
    Looks like things are going
    to get interesting.
[23:37] ---
    Let me know if you have any questions!
[23:39] ---
    Don't hold me back, you got that?!
[23:42] ---
