    I don't think they're gonna
    come out today.
[00:12] ---
    Hey, don't let your guard down!
[00:14] ---
    Two ex-shinobi have been attacked
    in the past month.
[00:18] ---
    But the victims only got
    their clothes slashed, right?
[00:21] ---
    It's nothing serious.
[00:24] ---
    I wonder if it's just a prank.
[00:26] ---
    The fact that they're targeting ex-shinobi
[00:29] ---
    makes me think it's not.
[00:32] ---
    They showed up!
[00:39] ---
    How's the victim?
[00:41] ---
    He's just knocked unconscious.
[00:43] ---
    This is the same M.O. they used before.
[00:45] ---
    They got away from us.
[00:48] ---
    By the time I found the victim,
    the offender was already gone.
[00:52] ---
    They escaped way too quickly.
[00:54] ---
    There are rumors that
    it's the work of a sickle weasel.
[00:57] ---
    This totally looks like a human did it.
[01:03] ---
    Why would they do something like this?

[02:38] ---
    Regarding the victim
    of the slasher incident...
[02:40] ---
    After looking into his background,
[02:42] ---
    we learned that he's an ex-shinobi
    from another village
[02:44] ---
    who specializes in Wind Style.
[02:46] ---
    Another one?
[02:47] ---
    Like before, this victim
    was knocked unconscious
[02:50] ---
    and only his clothes were slashed.
[02:52] ---
    It doesn't appear to be a robbery
[02:55] ---
    and we're lucky it's nothing serious,
[02:57] ---
    but we still don't know the perp's motives.
[03:00] ---
    No one has reported
    anyone suspicious, either.
[03:03] ---
    All the victims were
    knocked unconscious in some way
[03:07] ---
    when the crime took place.
[03:09] ---
    We're positive it was done by
    the same person,
[03:11] ---
    but the police haven't been able
    to find any evidence
[03:14] ---
    that could connect it to someone.
[03:15] ---
    Maybe we should guard
    all Wind Style-using ex-shinobi
[03:18] ---
    who could be targeted.
[03:20] ---
    Do you know how many people
    fit that description?
[03:22] ---
    It's impossible to guard them all, ya know.
[03:25] ---
    Sorry, but until we find a concrete lead,
[03:29] ---
    we'd like Team 7 to continue
    your nightly patrol.
[03:33] ---
    Yes, sir!
[03:38] ---
    I'm so sleepy from doing patrols
    every night, ya know.
[03:43] ---
    That's for sure.
[03:44] ---
    We need to catch them as soon as possible.
[03:54] ---
    Hm? What's the matter, Mitsuki?
[03:57] ---
    Nothing.
[03:58] ---
    It's just... Mikazuki hasn't
    shown up for a while.
[04:01] ---
    What? Since when?
[04:03] ---
    Ever since we wrapped up
    our mission in the Hidden Mist...
[04:06] ---
    Our mission went on longer than expected,
[04:08] ---
    so I was away from home for a while, so...
[04:10] ---
    I see.
[04:12] ---
    It's a cat!
[04:14] ---
    It's probably hanging out somewhere!
[04:16] ---
    It'll come back when you least expect it!
[04:19] ---
    That would be great...
[04:26] ---
    What's your cat like?
[04:28] ---
    Its fur is black and white,
[04:30] ---
    and it has a mark that resembles
    a mountain on its forehead.
[04:33] ---
    Hmm...
[04:34] ---
    Why don't you draw a picture of it
[04:36] ---
    and put up some "missing" posters?
[04:38] ---
    That's right.
[04:39] ---
    I'll let you know right away if I see it.
[04:42] ---
    Yeah.
[04:43] ---
    Well, I'm heading back and taking a nap.
[04:46] ---
    Sounds good.
[04:47] ---
    Yeah, me too!
[04:49] ---
    Oh, we'll let you know right away
    if we see Mikazuki,
[04:51] ---
    so you should
    get some rest too, Mitsuki.
[04:53] ---
    Okay.
[04:54] ---
    Well, see you again tonight.

    A lost cat?
[05:10] ---
    That's right.
[05:11] ---
    It hasn't come home.
[05:13] ---
    You must be so worried!
[05:15] ---
    Well, I love cats,
    so I understand how you feel.
[05:20] ---
    I'll let you know as soon as I see it.
[05:23] ---
    Thank you very much.
[05:24] ---
    Oh, Granny!

    That's heavy, so I'll carry that for you.
[05:29] ---
    Thank you for all your help.

[06:05] ---
    What is it?!
[06:07] ---
    That cat's name is Mikazuki.
[06:10] ---
    What are you talking about?
[06:13] ---
    This is Niboshi!
[06:15] ---
    Isn't that right, Niboshi?
[06:19] ---
    See?
[06:22] ---
    Mikazuki!
[06:30] ---
    It's really you, Mikazuki!
[06:37] ---
    Aw, I thought it made me its human...
[06:44] ---
    This little one was in pain
    and laid out in front of my house,
[06:47] ---
    so I took it to the vet.
[06:49] ---
    That happened to Mikazuki?
[06:51] ---
    Thank you.
[06:53] ---
    It didn't have a collar,
    so I thought it was a stray.
[06:57] ---
    Mikazuki isn't exactly "my" cat.
[07:00] ---
    But you look after it, right?
[07:02] ---
    Yeah.
[07:03] ---
    After I gave it some food,
    it decided to stay at my house.
[07:06] ---
    It's so cute, so I decided to
    continue looking after it.
[07:10] ---
    I wasn't able to come home for a while.
[07:14] ---
    Maybe it was lonely
[07:15] ---
    and that's why it came to my house.
[07:18] ---
    That was really horrible of me
    to do that, huh, Mikazuki?
[07:21] ---
    To make up for it, you should
    give it lots of niboshi!
[07:25] ---
    Niboshi? What's that?
[07:27] ---
    What?! You don't know what niboshi are?
[07:30] ---
    But it's its favorite food!
[07:32] ---
    It is?
[07:34] ---
    That's why I was calling it Niboshi.
[07:38] ---
    It seems you know more
    about Mikazuki than I do.
[07:43] ---
    It's my only friend, after all.
[07:52] ---
    Mikazuki, you can do whatever you want...
[07:53] ---
    Because you're free.
[08:01] ---
    It's so nice that you're free
    to do whatever you want!
[08:04] ---
    You can't?
[08:06] ---
    Ever since I moved to this village
    a year ago,
[08:10] ---
    I've had to help my older brother.
[08:16] ---
    I'm Mitsuki, I'm a Leaf Shinobi.
[08:19] ---
    There will be lots of times when
    I'll be away from home on missions,
[08:21] ---
    so I'd like it if you played with Mikazuki.
[08:23] ---
    Mitsuki...
[08:25] ---
    Hey, Hibiki!
[08:28] ---
    Big Brother!
[08:33] ---
    Well, I've got to get going.
[08:40] ---
    I told you not to befriend shinobi.
[08:43] ---
    He's a shinobi, but he's not a bad person.
[08:46] ---
    How would you know?
[08:48] ---
    Come on, let's go.
[08:49] ---
    Okay.
[08:58] ---
    We'll catch them this time, ya know.
[09:02] ---
    I heard something!
[09:16] ---
    You're not getting away.
SIGN    ODEN
[09:36] ---
    Did you see two masked individuals
    running this way?
[09:39] ---
    Oh, they got on the roof and ran away.
[09:45] ---
    Mitsuki, where are the perps?!
[09:48] ---
    Mitsuki?
[09:55] ---
    The two masked individuals
[09:57] ---
    apparently escaped via the roof over there.
[09:59] ---
    Damn it! I thought we finally caught them!
[10:02] ---
    They're not gonna get away!
[10:03] ---
    They should still be in this area.
[10:05] ---
    Let's split up and look for them.
[10:06] ---
    Okay!
[10:08] ---
    Mitsuki, go help the victim.
[10:10] ---
    Got it!
[10:23] ---
    Don't you think Mitsuki figured out
    that it was us?
[10:27] ---
    It's too dangerous to continue!
[10:30] ---
    We've been moving from village to village
[10:32] ---
    and finally made it this far.
[10:34] ---
    There's only one more target.
[10:37] ---
    Once that's over with,
[10:38] ---
    I'll be able to ensure that
    you'll get to live a normal life.
[10:41] ---
    But... if something were to happen to you—!
[10:44] ---
    Don't worry.
[10:47] ---
    Just be patient a little while longer.
[10:50] ---
    Just... one more.
SIGN    LEAF POLICE
[10:56] ---
    When are you going to catch the perp?
[10:59] ---
    I might be the next target!
[11:02] ---
    You're not trying hard enough.
[11:04] ---
    If none of you can do it,
    we'll catch them ourselves!
[11:07] ---
    That would complicate our investigation,
[11:09] ---
    so please let us handle this!
[11:10] ---
    We can't wait around forever!
[11:13] ---
    That's right!
[11:14] ---
    Upon hearing that another
    Wind Style user was targeted,
[11:17] ---
    other ex-shinobi
    who could be potential targets
[11:19] ---
    have been swarming us.
[11:21] ---
    We're very sorry.
[11:23] ---
    We had the perfect opportunity,
    but they got away.
[11:26] ---
    No, you engaged the culprit.
[11:29] ---
    That's a big lead.
[11:30] ---
    According to Mitsuki,
[11:32] ---
    it was a team of two who wore masks.
[11:35] ---
    A team of two, huh?
[11:38] ---
    The perps attack their victims
    by knocking them unconscious.
[11:41] ---
    There was the smell of smoke
    lingering on the victims' clothing.
[11:45] ---
    That smoke might be what
    puts the victims to sleep.
[11:49] ---
    Smoke, huh?
[11:51] ---
    If we knew who their next target was,
[11:54] ---
    we could get the jump on them.
[11:56] ---
    If there's a reason behind
    slashing up their clothing...
[11:58] ---
    Maybe they're looking for something...
[12:00] ---
    Looking for something, huh?
[12:03] ---
    The police are currently investigating
[12:05] ---
    incidents that happened in other villages.
[12:07] ---
    We'll let you know as soon as
    we learn anything.
[12:10] ---
    Please do, thank you so much.
[12:12] ---
    Their next target, huh?
[12:16] ---
    It happened again?
[12:17] ---
    Yes. What a scary world we live in!
[12:20] ---
    All the targets were ex-shinobi, right?
[12:23] ---
    This has nothing to do with me,
    but I hope they're caught soon.
[12:27] ---
    I totally agree!
[12:29] ---
    Oh yeah, you used to be a shinobi too, right?
[12:33] ---
    You don't happen to be
    a Wind Style user, do you?
[12:36] ---
    Not at all!
[12:38] ---
    I might have been a shinobi,
    but I only did office work.

    What are you talking about?
[14:12] ---
    Who's your next target?
[14:29] ---
    I knew it. You figured it out.
[14:33] ---
    My dad was a shinobi, just like you, Mitsuki.
[14:37] ---
    This flute used to belong to him...
[14:41] ---
    But he was killed by a thief
    who used Wind Style.
[14:46] ---
    We've asked the police many times
    to find the person who did it,
[14:50] ---
    but they didn't leave any evidence.
[14:53] ---
    The only thing is a scar on his chest
[14:55] ---
    that my dad's sword left.
[14:57] ---
    They told us it would be difficult
    to find the culprit based on that.
[15:02] ---
    That's why we've traveled
    from village to village
[15:04] ---
    in search of him.
[15:06] ---
    You should leave the rest to the Hidden Leaf.
[15:10] ---
    There's nothing you can do without evidence!
[15:16] ---
    My big brother and I have to do this alone.

    Is that what you really want?

    Don't you want to live free, like Mikazuki?

    Long ago, I couldn't stop someone
    exactly like you.

[20:01] ---
    There's no proof I committed any crimes.
[20:04] ---
    Yeah, that old scar isn't enough...
[20:07] ---
    But I think the wound you gave her
    is more than enough proof.
[20:11] ---
    I've seen the reports on
    previous robberies and murders
[20:15] ---
    that involve similar injuries.
[20:17] ---
    I'm sure that if we compare the wounds,

    It was all thanks to Hibiki and her brother.

    before there were more victims.
[20:53] ---
    After considering the circumstances,
[20:54] ---
    I'm glad they're only going to be
    banished from the village.
[20:58] ---
    Yeah.

    But you knew who the culprits were
    and didn't report it,
