**[00:09] ---**
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.
**[05:02] ---**
Mikazuki!

Did you happen to see a cat around here?
**[05:09] ---**
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!
**[05:26] ---**
That's heavy, so I'll carry that for you.
**[05:29] ---**
Thank you for all your help.
**[05:51] ---**
Mikazuki?
**[05:57] ---**
Niboshi!
**[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.
**[12:45] ---**
Thank you for coming.
***SIGN*** MYSTERIOUS STREET SLASHER EX-WIND STYLE USERS TARGETED
**[13:14] ---**
Annoying damn cat.
**[14:01] ---**
The perps apparently use smoke
to put people to sleep.
**[14:05] ---**
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.
**[15:19] ---**
Is that what you really want?
**[15:21] ---**
Don't you want to live free, like Mikazuki?
**[15:29] ---**
Long ago, I couldn't stop someone
exactly like you.
**[15:33] ---**
Huh?
**[15:35] ---**
I don't want to make
that same mistake again.
**[15:38] ---**
That's why I'd like you to turn yourself in.
**[15:41] ---**
The punishment should be light
if you do it now.
**[15:44] ---**
I let you go once.
**[15:47] ---**
That was in return for helping Mikazuki.
**[15:52] ---**
But there won't be a second time.
**[15:59] ---**
Thank you, Mitsuki.

Anyway, until we know who the perps are,
**[16:17] ---**
we have no choice but to split up
and be ready for them.
**[16:23] ---**
What's the matter, Mitsuki?
**[16:26] ---**
We've learned that a person of interest
**[16:27] ---**
in a series of robberies
and murders in other villages
**[16:30] ---**
lives in the Leaf.

**[16:59] ---**
Big Brother!
**[17:03] ---**
I know you used smoke to put people to sleep
**[17:06] ---**
because I read about it in the newspaper!
**[17:09] ---**
Do you have a scar from a sword
on your chest or not?
**[17:12] ---**
I want you to show us!
**[17:17] ---**
There was a man who was
brought in for questioning
**[17:20] ---**
as a witness concerning
a series of robberies and murders
**[17:22] ---**
committed by a Wind Style user.
**[17:24] ---**
That man is Daizen Matsushige...
**[17:26] ---**
Daizen Matsushige?
**[17:27] ---**
At the time, no one thought he had
anything to do with the incident,
**[17:31] ---**
but he's a Wind Style user, too.
**[17:33] ---**
He might know something about the situation.
**[17:36] ---**
Right now, he's just a regular citizen
**[17:38] ---**
who runs a grocery store.
**[17:44] ---**
No way!
**[17:45] ---**
I heard that Daizen was pretty good
at using Wind Style.
**[17:49] ---**
I'm getting a bad feeling about this!
**[17:53] ---**
Mitsuki?!
**[17:54] ---**
Why are you panicking?!
**[18:09] ---**
My father slashed the perp in the chest
**[18:11] ---**
with this hidden blade.
**[18:13] ---**
You should have a scar
from this sword on your chest.
**[18:16] ---**
I don't know anything about that.
**[18:18] ---**
I'm going to kill you criminals
in self-defense...
**[18:22] ---**
Then I'll be hailed as a hero
in this village!
**[18:30] ---**
Wind Style: Wind Scythe!
**[18:35] ---**
This Wind Style! There's no mistake...
**[18:40] ---**
You're so annoying!
**[18:47] ---**
Lightning Style: Snake Lightning!
**[18:52] ---**
Mitsuki?!
**[18:58] ---**
They're the ones behind
the slashing incidents!
**[19:01] ---**
Hurry and capture them!
**[19:04] ---**
Let's hear what you have to say.
**[19:10] ---**
This man should have a scar on his chest
**[19:12] ---**
where our father slashed him
with his sword!
**[19:14] ---**
Please search him!
**[19:16] ---**
A scar on my chest?
**[19:17] ---**
Quit making false accusations.
**[19:23] ---**
No way!
**[19:30] ---**
He has to be the perp!
**[19:42] ---**
Mikazuki?
**[19:45] ---**
Damn it!
**[19:46] ---**
Stop that!
**[19:55] ---**
A scar from a sword!
**[19:57] ---**
It was you, after all!
**[19:59] ---**
So what if I have a scar?!
**[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,
**[20:19] ---**
your crimes will become apparent.
**[20:22] ---**
Damn it!
**[20:24] ---**
Wind Style: Breakthrough!
**[20:44] ---**
Daizen was planning to carry out
**[20:46] ---**
the same kind of crimes
he committed in other villages
**[20:47] ---**
here in the Leaf.
**[20:49] ---**
It was all thanks to Hibiki and her brother.
**[20:50] ---**
I'm glad he was caught
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.
**[20:59] ---**
But you knew who the culprits were
and didn't report it,
**[21:02] ---**
so you're on administrative leave for a week.
**[21:05] ---**
Yeah...
**[21:10] ---**
Niboshi!
**[21:16] ---**
Take care.
**[21:18] ---**
Here's a token of my appreciation.
**[21:22] ---**
What are they?
**[21:24] ---**
These are niboshi!
**[21:27] ---**
They're small fish?
**[21:31] ---**
Maybe now, I can live free like you.
**[21:47] ---**
Mikazuki... do you want to go home?
**[23:25] ---**
Another peaceful day
in the Hidden Leaf Village.
**[23:27] ---**
Thank goodness, thank goodness!
**[23:29] ---**
Hey! Why are you being so laid-back?!
**[23:31] ---**
There's something going on over there...
**[23:34] ---**
Shouldn't we try to stop them?
**[23:35] ---**
Leave it alone!
**[23:36] ---**
We didn't see anything...
We didn't see anything!
