    *Tales of a Gutsy Ninja -
    Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls - Part 1
    
    
[01:36] ---
    There are two bells...
[01:38] ---
    The fact that there are
    only two bells means...
[01:41] ---
    One person will lose...
[01:43] ---
    You're very sharp, Orochimaru.
[01:45] ---
    Say! If I get a bell,
    you'll go out with me.
[01:48] ---
    If you lose,
    don't bother me anymore.
[01:52] ---
    All right! I'll do it!
[01:59] ---
    So many openings...
[02:01] ---
    Now!
[02:11] ---
    I won the bet, Jiraiya!
    You get to go to the log.
[02:15] ---
    Shut up, flat-chested plywood Tsunade!
[02:19] ---
    What'd you say?!
    You egg-headed perv!!
[02:22] ---
    Now, now. That's enough...
[02:24] ---
    Tsunade and Orochimaru may go.
[02:28] ---
    Okay!
[02:33] ---
    You are hopeless...
[02:35] ---
    How can a ninja keep falling
    into such obvious traps?!
[02:39] ---
    Can't help it...
[02:41] ---
    Perhaps what you lack
    is a purpose...
[02:44] ---
    Huh?!
[02:46] ---
    Let's see now...
[02:48] ---
    Yes! We'll try this!
[02:51] ---
    Wh-What?!
[02:52] ---
    Don't get so excited. Just watch.
[03:04] ---
    Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!
[03:09] ---
    Awesome!
[03:11] ---
    The Summoning Jutsu...
[03:13] ---
    You make a blood contract
    with an animal,
[03:16] ---
    and summon them at any time
    using the Transportation Technique.
[03:21] ---
    I want to make a contract
    with that one too!
[03:24] ---
    That, you can't do.
[03:26] ---
    Huh?
[03:27] ---
    In the same way that every man
    is destined to a different fate,
[03:29] ---
    so too is the animal to whom
    he is intertwined.
[03:34] ---
    Then which is my animal?
[03:37] ---
    Before you can make a contract,
[03:38] ---
    you need to be more adept
    at molding chakra and sealing.
[03:42] ---
    What? Not more training!
[03:45] ---
    You will always find the answer
    in your training!
[03:51] ---
    Jiraiya had found a purpose
    and from that day on,
[03:54] ---
    he began taking
    his training seriously. However...
[03:58] ---
    Mold more chakra...
[04:00] ---
    Study up on sealing...
[04:08] ---
    I must master
    the Transportation Technique...
[04:11] ---
    Dammit!
[04:14] ---
    When will I be able to
    make a contract?
[04:17] ---
    *Why do I put up with
    this rough training?
[04:22] ---
    If I were to have a boyfriend,
[04:23] ---
    *I'd choose Orochimaru over
    an egghead perv like you.
[04:29] ---
    The answer is simple!
[04:31] ---
    I just have to become
    the ultimate ninja
[04:32] ---
    and sweep Tsunade off her feet!
[04:35] ---
    Now that that's settled,
    there's no time to waste!
[04:42] ---
    Ah...
[04:44] ---
    So he's discovered his purpose
    for becoming a ninja.
[04:48] ---
    And not just Tsunade,
[04:50] ---
    *I'm gonna get all the pretty girls
    to myself.
[04:53] ---
    *Let's see...
    Concentrate my chakra and...
[04:55] ---
    *the seal is boar, dog,
    bird, monkey, sheep...
[04:58] ---
    Wait! There's no telling
    what will happen
[05:00] ---
    if you use the Transportation Technique
    without making a contract first!
[05:04] ---
    Go!
[05:30] ---
    Where am I...?
[05:41] ---
    Hold it right there!
[05:43] ---
    I, the great Master Jiraiya,
    shall take over this fight!
[05:57] ---
    Heh! I guess that'll do!
[06:00] ---
    Hmmm...
[06:02] ---
    A human child.
[06:03] ---
    Huh?! A-A talking toad!
[06:06] ---
    And what about you?
[06:07] ---
    To think, a human would really
    come to Mount Myoboku...
[06:11] ---
    What do you mean?!
[06:18] ---
    Lord Fukasaku!
[06:20] ---
    It's a human child.
[06:23] ---
    Oh...so you've arrived.
[06:26] ---
    You talk as though
    you've been expecting me.
[06:30] ---
    Yes, I knew you were coming.
    The Great Lord Elder predicted it.
[06:37] ---
    *A human child will stumble
    into Mount Myoboku,
[06:41] ---
    *and I will give that child the power
    of the toad and a prophecy.
[06:47] ---
    *That is the dream which
    I dreamt of myself...
[06:51] ---
    My very own prophecy.
[06:56] ---
    If that human is me...
    then what is my prophecy?!
[07:02] ---
    Well... I don't know.
[07:05] ---
    Don't know?
[07:07] ---
    You must stay here and train,
[07:10] ---
    and wait for
    the Great Lord Elder's prophecy.
[07:12] ---
    H-Hold it!
[07:14] ---
    I made up my mind
    to become strong
[07:16] ---
    so that I'll be popular with women...
[07:18] ---
    There's no point in getting popular
    with frogs!
[07:20] ---
    Quit complaining!
    This is your destiny.
[07:26] ---
    My destiny?!
[07:28] ---
    Yes. You managed to come
    to Mount Myoboku.
[07:32] ---
    This is proof that you were indeed
    the chosen one.
[07:38] ---
    The chosen one, eh?
[07:40] ---
    *Training here and becoming strong...
    That's pretty tempting too.
[07:48] ---
    From this day forward,
    Jiraiya divided his time between
[07:51] ---
    Mount Myoboku, the land of toads,
    and the Hidden Leaf Village...
[07:55] ---
    He spent the days of his youth
    in both Sage and ninjutsu training.
[08:18] ---
    However...
[08:19] ---
    It was not to be as simple as
    Jiraiya had thought.
[09:07] ---
    *I've definitely gotten stronger
    since coming here.
[09:10] ---
    But...
[09:12] ---
    Tsunade is as cold as ever.
[09:15] ---
    Not just that...
[09:17] ---
    *If I was destined to be
    the chosen one,
[09:19] ---
    *should my purpose simply
    be to impress a girl?
[09:22] ---
    *Is that the only reason why
    I'm trying to become strong?
[09:26] ---
    Jiraiya! Jiraiya!
[09:28] ---
    Yeah?
[09:30] ---
    Jiraiya, the Great Lord Elder
    has summoned you.
[09:33] ---
    The Great Lord Elder...?
[09:35] ---
    Hurry up.
    He has seen your prophecy!
[09:39] ---
    For real, Bunta?!
[09:44] ---
    As summoned.
[09:45] ---
    Ah, good. I'm glad you've come!
[09:48] ---
    Huh?
[09:51] ---
    Who're you again?
[09:54] ---
    Great Lord Elder, it's Jiraiya!
    This is Jiraiya!
[09:58] ---
    Oh, that's right! Right!
    My, how you've grown...
[10:04] ---
    Gah, you're the one who summoned him,
    ya great senile old geezer!
[10:08] ---
    Senile old geezer?!
[10:10] ---
    Ma, how dare ya call
    the Great Lord Elder a senile old geezer!
[10:15] ---
    Now now, let's not fight.
    Spouses oughta get along...
[10:23] ---
    By the way...
[10:24] ---
    Who're you, again?
[10:31] ---
    Jiraiya-boy.
[10:33] ---
    The Great Lord Elder had
    a dream about you.
[10:37] ---
    As you are aware,
    it is a prophecy.
[10:40] ---
    So listen carefully.
[10:42] ---
    Yes, sir!
[10:44] ---
    I shall now tell you.
    In my dream...
[10:48] ---
    you, who are solely pervy, will still
    manage to become a splendid ninja.
[10:52] ---
    And in time, you will have
    your own disciple...
[10:57] ---
    Solely pervy...?
[10:58] ---
    *Can't believe he remembers
    that particular detail...
[11:03] ---
    That disciple will become a ninja
    who will bring about a great change
[11:07] ---
    to the ninja world.
[11:09] ---
    That is what I saw in my dream.
[11:12] ---
    A great change?
[11:13] ---
    Either great stability
    or great destruction.
[11:17] ---
    The likes of which this world
    has never seen before.
[11:19] ---
    One of those two.
[11:22] ---
    One of those two?
    What does that mean?
[11:25] ---
    You will guide that revolutionary.
[11:28] ---
    The day will come when you will
    be forced to make a critical selection.
[11:35] ---
    Selection?
[11:36] ---
    Your choice shall decide
    which way the change goes.
[11:46] ---
    What must I do...?
    In order to make the right choice?
[11:50] ---
    In my dream, you traveled the world,
    writing books.
[11:55] ---
    Books? Whatever for?
[11:58] ---
    I do not know either.
[12:01] ---
    Perhaps it will be a journey
    around the world
[12:03] ---
    to see all things in nature.
[12:06] ---
    Great Lord Elder, have your prophecies
    ever not come to pass?
[12:13] ---
    No, never.
[12:22] ---
    Jiraiya, you are leaving?
[12:25] ---
    Yup!
[12:26] ---
    At this point in my life,
[12:27] ---
    there's no way I can guide someone
    who will be a revolutionary...
[12:30] ---
    Let alone make the right choice.
[12:33] ---
    Hmm...
[12:34] ---
    I guess I need more time
    to see many more things,
[12:37] ---
    and meet different people.
[12:39] ---
    I see...
[12:41] ---
    Just like in
    the Great Lord Elder's dream,
[12:43] ---
    I shall journey throughout the world
    and perhaps, write a book.
[12:48] ---
    It seems that is my destiny.
[12:52] ---
    While Jiraiya journeyed and
    searched for the meaning
[12:56] ---
    behind the Great Lord Elder's dream,
[12:59] ---
    the state of the world grew
    steadily more chaotic.
[13:03] ---
    The peace that had prevailed among
    the Five Great Nations became fragile.
[13:08] ---
    Aggression between lands
    increased as did internal strife,
[13:13] ---
    and the people began to suffer.
[13:24] ---
    Young man...
    Why are you traveling?
[13:27] ---
    I'm searching for my destiny.
[13:30] ---
    Oh...?
[13:31] ---
    Someone saw me in a dream.
[13:32] ---
    And just like in that dream,
    I journey from land to land.
[13:37] ---
    Oh my, what's the matter...?
[13:42] ---
    Here, have one. It's milk candy.
[13:51] ---
    A puppet?
[13:52] ---
    Oh, this child tells me...
    Destiny is not something you search for!
[13:58] ---
    Destiny is something you latch onto
    when it presents itself.
[14:01] ---
    The age of war is coming.
[14:04] ---
    Mechanical skills are useless
    in times of peace,
[14:07] ---
    but some feudal lord may pay
    a high price for my services.
[14:12] ---
    So he is a ninja too...
[14:15] ---
    *He has chosen to ride the wave
    to the age of destruction.
[14:19] ---
    But that will only...
[14:23] ---
    Let's have more fun.
[14:25] ---
    Come on.
[14:26] ---
    Mmmm...
[14:27] ---
    What are you writing?
[14:29] ---
    Just scribbling...
    that riding on the wave of the times
[14:31] ---
    will not result in the revolutionary
    change needed for peace.
[14:39] ---
    Say, say! If you're gonna
    change something, change me!
[14:43] ---
    I suppose you're right.
    That does sound more fun.
[14:46] ---
    This is fraud!
[14:49] ---
    As if I'll pay for something like this!
[14:52] ---
    Hold it right there!
[14:56] ---
    I shall take over this fight!
[15:02] ---
    Damn it!
[15:03] ---
    How can fate be so cruel?!
[15:05] ---
    I worked hard on cultivating the land
    with what little knowledge I had.
[15:08] ---
    All for the sake of my clan, and yet...
[15:11] ---
    *So this fellow is dissatisfied with
    the way the world is going...
[15:15] ---
    Have a drink...
[15:17] ---
    I've been searching for
    my destiny too, but it's very elusive.
[15:22] ---
    Humph... It's useless to search
    for something like that.
[15:25] ---
    My people have no chance
[15:27] ---
    against the ninja villages
    of the Great Nations...
[15:30] ---
    *This guy...
    Is that all he can do...complain?
[15:34] ---
    You are wrong...
[15:35] ---
    Huh?
[15:37] ---
    I teach children in a village...
[15:40] ---
    about how to fight back
    when faced with a harsh fate.
[15:45] ---
    So education could end a war?
[15:50] ---
    Cut the pretty talk!
[15:53] ---
    What?!
[15:55] ---
    Is he a ninja too?
[15:57] ---
    No, that it cannot...
[15:59] ---
    However, perhaps I can
    teach them skills
[16:01] ---
    that enable them
    to make better choices.
[16:04] ---
    Let me ask you...
    What are those choices?
[16:08] ---
    Life or death...
    Those are the choices.
[16:11] ---
    The only thing I can teach them
    is how to survive.
[16:19] ---
    That's not good enough.
[16:21] ---
    *I must choose the revolutionary
    who will bring peace to the world.
[16:39] ---
    To bring destruction upon this world.
[16:41] ---
    Or to bring about a peace which
    we have never known before...
[16:44] ---
    That depends on the commitment
    of each and every person!
[16:48] ---
    Hmm... Could this person be...?
[16:51] ---
    Say, you!
[16:53] ---
    You just might be the person
    I've been looking for!
[16:56] ---
    Oh...?
[16:57] ---
    What would you do in order
    to bring peace to this world?
[17:00] ---
    The world is heading towards
    an age of war and strife...
[17:04] ---
    There's no stopping it.
[17:05] ---
    You just said it depends on
    each person's commitment, didn't you?
[17:08] ---
    How do we change
    these people's destinies?
[17:15] ---
    Just pray hard.
    That is all men can do.
[17:22] ---
    This man is not the one...either.
[17:34] ---
    What was that?!
[17:40] ---
    This is just an ordinary village!
    Why would a ninja...?!
[18:06] ---
    This shuriken jutsu...
[18:07] ---
    You are from the Fuma, aren't you?!
[18:09] ---
    Why attack people who
    are living in peace?!
[18:12] ---
    You are also a ninja.
[18:14] ---
    I am journeying in search of the one
    who will become my disciple.
[18:18] ---
    Humph! Why waste time
    on such a tedious thing?!
[18:20] ---
    The balance of power between
    lands has become shaky
[18:23] ---
    and we are on the verge of
    a great war...
[18:26] ---
    That village was also destroyed due
    to a tip that ninja had infiltrated it.
[18:31] ---
    Just because of a tip?!
[18:34] ---
    It's destroy, or be destroyed.
[18:37] ---
    We live in a world where
    you'll die if you hesitate!
[18:45] ---
    A Smoke Bomb!
[18:53] ---
    You're pretty good.
[18:56] ---
    If you are a ninja too,
    I cannot let you live.
[19:00] ---
    Just give up...
    This is our fate as ninja.
[19:04] ---
    Can I say something?
[19:06] ---
    I don't feel like listening...
[19:08] ---
    Just...die!!
[19:11] ---
    Give up...
[19:15] ---
    ...on me giving up!
[19:26] ---
    Even if you bring me down,
[19:27] ---
    another assassin will attack
    the village...
[19:30] ---
    As long as we are cursed to live
    in this ninja world,
[19:33] ---
    there will be no peace.
[19:37] ---
    *The Great Toad Sage's
    prophecy said that I am destined
[19:40] ---
    *to train the revolutionary
    who will bring peace to this world.
[19:46] ---
    *However, I haven't even encountered
    this disciple.
[19:53] ---
    Already at this time,
    battles were inevitably being fought.
[19:57] ---
    Jiraiya was also forced to take
    a short break from his journey
[20:02] ---
    and returned to the Hidden Leaf Village.
[20:20] ---
    We're at war...after all.
[20:24] ---
    Orochimaru...
[20:29] ---
    *In order to erase this sadness
    from the ninja world...
[20:32] ---
    I must find the revolutionary...
[20:35] ---
    *I must choose the one
    who will bring peace.
[20:41] ---
    The flames of war finally drew
    in Jiraiya and his comrades.
[20:48] ---
    This would come to be known
    as the Third Great Ninja War.
[20:55] ---
    Shortly afterwards, the three
    would come to be known
[20:59] ---
    as the "Legendary Sannin."
[22:37] ---
    Boy, it's not easy coming up with
    ideas for writing a book.
    
    
[22:41] ---
    The main hero of this book has
    seen too much of the ninja world,
    
    
[22:44] ---
    where battle brings
    further battle.
    
    
[22:46] ---
    It's a world filled with hate.
    
    
[22:48] ---
    I want him to somehow
    wipe away the hate
    
    
[22:50] ---
    and create a world of peace, yet...
    
    
[22:52] ---
    Aaah! It's so hard to build up
    a story to the climax!
    
    
[22:55] ---
    What shall I do?!
    
    
[22:58] ---
    Next time: "Tales of a Gutsy Ninja -
    Jiraiya Ninja Scrolls - Part 2"
    
    
    
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
