**[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!
***SIGN*** THUNDER BURGER
**[02:26] ---**
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] ---**
