[00:12] ---
    My chakra is reacting strongly.
[00:20] ---
    What's that?
[00:21] ---
    It's what was growing on
    the sick people.
[00:26] ---
    I see!
[00:27] ---
    The sap from the Divine Tree's
    seeped into the soil.
[00:30] ---
    The sap acts like a fertilizer,
[00:33] ---
    making this area a lush oasis in
    the middle of such a barren region.
[00:37] ---
    The power of the Divine Tree
    is making the land fertile?
[00:41] ---
    So…is the Divine Tree
    getting its power back?
[00:45] ---
    No, it hasn't completely revived…
[00:48] ---
    But it probably will eventually.
[00:52] ---
    But the real problem is…
[00:56] ---
    Is what?
[00:57] ---
    The people are becoming
    contaminated first.
[01:01] ---
    Contaminated?!
[01:03] ---
    The people and animals eat
    the produce grown on this land,
[01:05] ---
    which accumulates
    the sap of the Divine Tree.
[01:09] ---
    So does that mean…
[01:10] ---
    If you eat the food here,
    you're gonna get sick?
[01:14] ---
    Probably.
[01:16] ---
    But I ate so much yesterday!
[01:19] ---
    It's all right. My jutsu can
    take care of a small amount…
[01:24] ---
    But if you keep ingesting and
    accumulating it for many years…
[01:28] ---
    Since the Village Elder ordered
    for this place to be under watch,
[01:33] ---
    does that means
    he knows everything?
[01:37] ---
    So it seems.
[03:10] ---
    Ashura's Decision
    
    
[03:14] ---
    I see…
    You saw the Divine Tree.
[03:17] ---
    Yes.
[03:18] ---
    Traveler, why do you keep digging
    for our village secrets?
[03:24] ---
    Forgive me.
[03:26] ---
    I'm from the Village of Ninshu
    and was told to come here.
[03:30] ---
    Ninshu?
[03:32] ---
    The Ninshu that destroyed
    the land 20 years ago…
[03:36] ---
    You are a pupil?
[03:38] ---
    Yes.
[03:39] ---
    That tree is the ruin of the specter
    that almost destroyed our world.
[03:44] ---
    That is why it's so powerful.
[03:47] ---
    I've been ordered to do
    something about it.
[03:52] ---
    Lord Elder, to be blunt,
    that tree is a narcotic.
[03:56] ---
    The power of the Divine Tree is
    indeed making this land abundant,
[03:59] ---
    but it's also affecting
    the villagers adversely.
[04:04] ---
    At this rate…
[04:07] ---
    Traveler,
    I am already aware of that.
[04:12] ---
    But I cannot authorize
    that tree's destruction.
[04:15] ---
    Why is that?
[04:17] ---
    That tree started to grow powerfully
    several decades ago.
[04:23] ---
    Until then,
    this was arid and barren land.
[04:27] ---
    We had terrible droughts
    nearly every year.
[04:31] ---
    I've lost count of how many
    died of starvation.
[04:35] ---
    Why don't you try digging a well?
[04:37] ---
    It was futile…
[04:39] ---
    "Was"?
[04:40] ---
    We tried ages ago.
[04:43] ---
    One could dig for years,
[04:45] ---
    only to hit the solid bedrock
    that runs across this land.
[04:50] ---
    If we cut down that tree now,
    what will happen to us?
[04:55] ---
    I cannot tell the villagers
[04:57] ---
    that we will be returning to
    those days of hunger and suffering.
[05:01] ---
    Besides, even if I told them the truth,
    the villagers will not believe me.
[05:07] ---
    Traveler, do not get involved
    any further…
[05:12] ---
    It would be best if you leave
    as soon as possible.
[05:18] ---
    Kanna, how do you feel?
[05:22] ---
    About what?
[05:23] ---
    In time, you will become infected
    by the Divine Tree.
[05:27] ---
    And?
    We have no other choice!
[05:30] ---
    There's nowhere else for us to go!
[05:34] ---
    We just have to endure
    and live with it.
[05:39] ---
    Please listen, everyone!
[05:41] ---
    Do you know the truth
    behind the Divine Tree?
[05:45] ---
    Hey, Ashura!
[05:47] ---
    The Divine Tree is
    the ruins of a specter.
[05:49] ---
    The Divine Tree is the cause
[05:51] ---
    of the illness afflicting
    the people at the clinic.
[05:54] ---
    If you continue to rely on
    the power of the Divine Tree,
[05:56] ---
    you will all fall victim
    to the same illness!
[06:00] ---
    Are you okay with that?!
[06:03] ---
    Everyone!
[06:04] ---
    Don't listen to this guy!
[06:06] ---
    These two came from
    the Village of Ninshu!
[06:09] ---
    They ravaged the world,
[06:11] ---
    and now, they want to take
    the Divine Tree from us!
[06:14] ---
    We can't let them do that!
[06:16] ---
    Get out of here!
[06:17] ---
    What do you think would happen to us
    if the Divine Tree was gone?!
[06:20] ---
    Get lost!
[06:21] ---
    Ashura, let's get out of here!
[06:33] ---
    I hope Masters Indra and Ashura
    are all right.
[06:38] ---
    Brother, what kind of places
    did you send those two?
[06:43] ---
    Simply put, villages burdened
    with the same problem.
[06:47] ---
    I want to know how they resolve it.
[06:53] ---
    I see…
[06:55] ---
    Be honest, have you already decided
    which one will succeed you?
[06:58] ---
    No, I haven't decided.
[07:01] ---
    Indra's abilities
    are extraordinary,
[07:03] ---
    but he is too quick to try to
    resolve everything by himself.
[07:07] ---
    Ashura is truly kind towards people,
    but hesitates to take the lead.
[07:13] ---
    If this trip helps them mature
    and learn to support each other,
[07:18] ---
    I would have no complaints.
[07:20] ---
    Gamamaru,
    have you had a new dream?
[07:24] ---
    About their futures?
[07:26] ---
    If I did have a dream,
    would you want me to tell you?
[07:29] ---
    That would be cheating.
[07:31] ---
    You must name your successor
    by yourself.
[07:38] ---
    Well then, I guess I'll be leaving.
[07:41] ---
    Gamamaru, I hope you're
    not planning on visiting them…
[07:47] ---
    Don't interfere.
[07:50] ---
    I won't!
[08:10] ---
    I doubt you all will ever
    be able to reach a decision.
[08:23] ---
    Come on Ashura, let's go.
[08:26] ---
    Let's just go and have
    a carefree journey.
[08:29] ---
    Uh-huh…
[08:32] ---
    If you're that concerned, just sneak
    over there and destroy the tree.
[08:36] ---
    You have the power to do that,
    don't you?
[08:38] ---
    But then, the villagers will…
[08:42] ---
    They'll suffer sure,
    but they're going to die eventually.
[08:46] ---
    Oh yeah…
[08:47] ---
    Father didn't say to destroy
    the Divine Tree.
[08:51] ---
    Huh?
[08:53] ---
    Indra… Ashura…
[08:54] ---
    You will each go to these lands
[08:56] ---
    and settle whatever problem
    has occurred there.
[09:01] ---
    Father said to resolve the problem.
[09:04] ---
    Hey, hey… I hope you're
    not getting any weird ideas.
[09:09] ---
    To resolve the problem…
[09:11] ---
    There's no other way
    but to dig a well.
[09:13] ---
    Are you serious?
    You heard the old man.
[09:16] ---
    There's solid bedrock and
    you can't dig a well.
[09:19] ---
    Yes… But that time, Father said…
[09:23] ---
    The power of Ninshu,
    which you have inherited…
[09:27] ---
    There is no handbook for its use.
    Only you can decide how to use it.
[09:36] ---
    It's up to us…
[09:38] ---
    I've decided.
[09:39] ---
    I'm going to do
    what I believe is right!
[09:41] ---
    Huh?
[09:44] ---
    Even if it takes me years!
[09:47] ---
    It's Master Indra!
[09:52] ---
    Master Indra has returned!
[09:54] ---
    Leave it to Master Indra!
    He's back already?
[09:59] ---
    I'm glad to see you well.
[10:01] ---
    Where is Ashura?
[10:02] ---
    He's not back yet.
[10:05] ---
    I see…
[10:19] ---
    Is that—?
    Don't tell me he's—?!
[10:33] ---
    Ashura!
[10:34] ---
    Oh, Kanna!
[10:36] ---
    What are you doing?!
[10:37] ---
    Can't you tell?
[10:39] ---
    I'm digging a well.
[10:44] ---
    Are you serious?
[10:45] ---
    Yes.
[10:46] ---
    If you have water, you won't have to
    rely on the Divine Tree.
[10:50] ---
    That's impossible.
[10:51] ---
    The villagers have tried
    digging for years.
[10:54] ---
    And they've never found water.
[10:57] ---
    I already told him that.
[10:58] ---
    But once he gets an idea,
    he just won't listen.
[11:02] ---
    It doesn't matter whether
    it's possible or not.
[11:05] ---
    I've decided to do it.
[11:07] ---
    See you, Kanna.
[11:13] ---
    Are you two…stupid?
[11:16] ---
    I might be…
    But he definitely is.
[11:28] ---
    Even if it takes years,
    I'll make it happen.
[11:45] ---
    I've returned.
[11:47] ---
    Welcome back.
    How did it go?
[11:51] ---
    I did exactly as I was told.
[11:55] ---
    Were there any problems?
[11:57] ---
    No.
    Peace has returned to the village.
[12:01] ---
    Lord Hagoromo…
[12:02] ---
    Master Indra has returned first.
[12:05] ---
    Which means the successor
    of Ninshu is…
[12:09] ---
    No, I'm not interested in
    how fast things were resolved.
[12:14] ---
    I will wait for Ashura to return.
[12:17] ---
    Then I will decide.
[12:19] ---
    Is that all right, Indra?
[12:21] ---
    Yes.
[12:34] ---
    It's been awhile, Indra.
[12:37] ---
    Oh?
    You're in a bad mood.
[12:40] ---
    Didn't you come to see me?
[12:44] ---
    I'm aware of everything, you know.
[12:46] ---
    You did exactly as Hagoromo wished.
    But he's still not satisfied.
[12:53] ---
    The future Hagoromo envisions for
    Ninshu is not the future you envision…
[13:13] ---
    You've improved.
[13:15] ---
    No matter what happens,
    the two of us will follow you, Indra.
[13:20] ---
    I will remember your words.
[13:26] ---
    Lord Hagoromo…
[13:28] ---
    It's been one year since Master Ashura
    set out on his journey.
[13:31] ---
    But he still hasn't returned.
[13:35] ---
    Your pupils are becoming restless.
[13:37] ---
    Perhaps, you should
    decide on a successor…
[13:40] ---
    I realize that.
[13:42] ---
    No one will object to Master Indra.
[13:46] ---
    Why do you insist on waiting
    for Master Ashura?
[13:49] ---
    Don't worry.
    Ashura will return soon.
[13:55] ---
    Lord Hagoromo!
[13:56] ---
    What's going on?
[13:59] ---
    Master Indra!
[14:01] ---
    Master Ashura has returned!
[14:10] ---
    Hey!
[14:12] ---
    It's not just Master Ashura!
    There are so many with him!
[14:16] ---
    I recognize Taizo,
    but who are the others?
[14:20] ---
    So he's back.
[14:22] ---
    You are astute about your own sons.
[14:27] ---
    I think this water jar
    has seen its day.
[14:33] ---
    My, my, it took a long time.
[14:36] ---
    The younger one is very clumsy…
[14:39] ---
    But his tenacity
    is quite something.
[14:41] ---
    I told you to mind
    your own business.
[14:45] ---
    I didn't do anything.
[14:46] ---
    I just watched, that's all.
[14:49] ---
    But I want to let you in
    on something.
[14:54] ---
    About the village Indra went to.
[14:58] ---
    Welcome back.
[15:00] ---
    It's great to be home.
    Have you been well?
[15:02] ---
    Yes. I'm glad you're well too,
    Master Ashura.
[15:06] ---
    Please go and see Lord Hagoromo.
[15:08] ---
    What? Didn't he decide on
    Elder Brother already?
[15:12] ---
    Is Father still?
[15:15] ---
    He's been waiting all this time
    for your return, Master Ashura.
[15:19] ---
    I see…
[15:38] ---
    Father, I've returned.
[15:42] ---
    You've become very dignified,
    Ashura.
[15:45] ---
    We got tired waiting for you…
[15:47] ---
    Forgive me Elder Brother.
[15:49] ---
    With the level of my strength,
[15:51] ---
    I needed much longer to resolve
    the problem in the village.
[15:55] ---
    Who are those people?
[15:57] ---
    Oh, yes.
[15:58] ---
    These are some of the villagers.
[16:00] ---
    They all helped me.
[16:03] ---
    And are now valuable friends.
[16:05] ---
    We heard about this village,
    and we wanted to see it,
[16:09] ---
    so we accompanied Master Ashura.
[16:12] ---
    I see.
    Welcome, good of you to come.
[16:14] ---
    Ashura, let me hear your story.
[16:17] ---
    The village I went to relied on
    the Divine Tree's water source.
[16:22] ---
    So I decided to dig a well.
[16:27] ---
    Ashura! Are you seriously
    digging a well?
[16:31] ---
    It's what I've decided.
[17:17] ---
    What the hell?
    Are they back to throw rocks at us?
[17:22] ---
    Wait.
[17:38] ---
    You guys…
[17:40] ---
    We'll help you.
[17:43] ---
    We want to do it because
    it's for our village.
[17:46] ---
    If you can,
    could you teach us Ninshu too?
[17:51] ---
    Uh-huh!
[18:28] ---
    Everyone, please be quiet!
[18:35] ---
    What's the matter, Ashura?
[18:38] ---
    Can you hear it?
[18:40] ---
    That sound…
[19:09] ---
    It's water!
[19:11] ---
    – What is it?
    – What happened?
[19:21] ---
    This is—!
[19:23] ---
    – Water!
    – We hit water!
[19:26] ---
    – We did it!
    – We did it!
[19:27] ---
    You did it, Ashura!
[19:29] ---
    We did it!
[19:31] ---
    We did it!
[20:09] ---
    Mom…
[20:15] ---
    Kanna.
[20:17] ---
    Mom!
[20:34] ---
    We are finally free from the curse.
[20:46] ---
    I see…
[20:47] ---
    So the Ninshu that you spread
    has saved many people.
[20:51] ---
    Yes!
[20:56] ---
    I will now name
    the successor to Ninshu.
[21:02] ---
    The one who shall
    take over Ninshu shall be…
[22:48] ---
    Bonds allow people to share
    in each other's joy and sorrow.
    
    
[22:53] ---
    In the beginning, bonds overflow
    with love and emotion.
    
    
[22:56] ---
    As long as there are bonds,
    Ninshu will not be used for evil.
    
    
[23:00] ---
    But power without bonds will surely
    bring calamity to this world.
