**[01:46] Teacher**
Slacking off with exams coming up, are we?
**[01:49] Ittoki**
I just... saw something outside the window...
**[01:52] Teacher**
Well then, Mr. Ittoki Sakuraba...
**[01:54] Teacher**
You'll have no problem solving this, will you?
**[01:57] Ittoki**
Yeah...

The rate of change is...
**[02:11] Teacher**
You're supposed to get it wrong.
**[02:13] Ittoki**
What?!
**[02:14] Ittoki**
You're the one who made me do it!
**[02:18] sign**
Safety First
**[02:22] Tamura**
Ittoki!
**[02:23] Tamura**
You'll finally come do karaoke
with us today, right?
**[02:25] Ittoki**
I want to!
**[02:27] Ittoki**
But I have lessons, so I can't.
**[02:30] Ittoki**
Sorry.
**[02:31] Boy 1**
What a killjoy.
**[02:33] Boy 2**
Dude, when will you have free time?
You have lessons like every day.
**[02:37] Ittoki**
It bums me out, too. I wanna
hang out with you guys!
**[02:41] Ittoki**
I can't help it.
**[02:43] Tamura**
You've always had all these lessons.
How many is it now?
**[02:48] Ittoki**
Well, cram school six times a week
and gymnastics three times a week,
**[02:52] Ittoki**
and swimming and judo on top of that...
**[02:54] Ittoki**
I managed to get out of flower
arrangement and dance.
**[02:57] Boy 2**
Huh. That's life in a distinguished
family for you.
**[03:00] Ittoki**
You've got it wrong.
**[03:02] Ittoki**
We run one store under
a government contract.
**[03:05] Ittoki**
We're not rich.
**[03:06] Boy 1**
Yeah, you certainly don't have
that aura of money.
**[03:10] Boy 2**
So, what do you have today?
**[03:12] Ittoki**
Gymnastics and cram school.
**[03:14] Tamura**
I feel like you should at least make some
memories in the last bit of middle school.
**[03:19] Ittoki**
The last bit, huh...
**[03:22] Ittoki**
You're right...
**[03:25] Ittoki**
Count me in!
**[03:32] Ittoki**
Count me out...
**[03:40] Ittoki**
Kousetsu...
**[03:41] Kousetsu**
What?
**[03:42] Ittoki**
Wouldn't it be less awkward
for you to walk next to me?
**[03:46] Kousetsu**
I see no reason to do that.
**[03:49] Ittoki**
Cold.
**[03:50] Kousetsu**
I'm just making sure you don't
skip your lessons.
**[03:53] Kousetsu**
Pay me no mind.
**[03:55] Ittoki**
How do you expect me to do that?
**[03:57] Kousetsu**
I don't like it, either.
**[03:58] Kousetsu**
I'm only doing this because your mom asked.
**[04:02] Ittoki**
You know, you don't have to listen
to other people's moms.
**[04:06] Kousetsu**
If we weren't childhood friends,
I wouldn't have.
**[04:09] Ittoki**
How is that a reason?
**[04:13] Kousetsu**
Annoying...
**[04:14] Ittoki**
What did you just say?
**[04:16] Ittoki**
It was hard to hear, so could you
say it again—with your mask off?
**[04:21] Kousetsu**
I don't take orders from you.
**[04:31] Coach**
Can I have a minute, Ittoki?
**[04:33] Ittoki**
Yes?
**[04:34] Coach**
Ittoki, what do you think about formally
pursuing gymnastics in high school?
**[04:38] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[04:39] Coach**
You'll be swamped with practice, but I really
think you can make it at the higher levels.
**[04:45] Ittoki**
Um... Well...
**[04:48] Coach**
No need to rush. I know you have
your family to think about, too.
**[04:53] Ittoki**
Okay...
**[04:55] Coach**
But I want you to think about it,
since you could definitely go far.
**[05:03] Ittoki**
My future path, huh?
**[05:08] Ittoki**
Crap, I'll be late to cram school!
**[05:14] Ittoki**
A little shortcut!
**[05:20] Ittoki**
My bad!
**[05:45] Ittoki**
Are you all right?!
**[05:47] Ittoki**
I'll call an ambulance right now!
**[05:49] Crowd**
What happened?!
**[05:49] Crowd**
Are you all right?
**[05:56] Middle-Aged Lady**
Like I said...
**[05:58] Middle-Aged Lady**
There was a bug in the greens
I bought from your place!
**[06:02] Tokisada**
Ahuh...
**[06:04] Middle-Aged Lady**
Don't just say "ahuh"!
**[06:05] Tokisada**
Oh...
**[06:06] Middle-Aged Lady**
No "oh," either!
**[06:08] Middle-Aged Lady**
Have you been listening to a word I've said?
**[06:10] Tokisada**
Yeah.
**[06:12] Tokisada**
Bugs are good if you deep-fry them!
**[06:15] Tokisada**
Ouch.
**[06:15] Kozo**
Tokisada! You little...
**[06:17] Kozo**
Get over here.
**[06:18] Reiha**
We sincerely apologize, ma'am.
**[06:22] Kozo**
Tokisada...
**[06:24] Tokisada**
Mr. Kozo, isn't it a problem to use
the merchandise to smack me?
**[06:28] Kozo**
I'll save these ones for myself!
**[06:30] Kozo**
Ugh, that's not the issue.
**[06:32] Tokisada**
Besides, that lady was
the usual complainer.
**[06:35] Kozo**
I know!
**[06:36] Kozo**
There are other ways to handle it!
**[06:38] Reiha**
I'll go out to the storefront.
**[06:40] Kozo**
Manager!
**[06:41] Reiha**
It seems Tokisada isn't suited
to customer interaction.
**[06:45] Kozo**
This guy is too much!
**[06:47] Reiha**
People are cut out for different things.
**[06:51] Reiha**
You can leave for today, but could
I ask you to pick Ittoki up?
**[06:55] Tokisada**
Okay.
**[06:56] Tokisada**
No trouble.
**[06:58] Reiha**
Make sure to clock out.
**[07:02] Tokisada**
Stingy...
**[07:05] Ittoki**
Thank you very much!
**[07:08] Ittoki**
Thanks for waiting, Uncle!
**[07:10] Tokisada**
Ittoki...
**[07:12] Tokisada**
Could you get a moped license
during high school?
**[07:15] Ittoki**
I've told you I don't need to be picked up.
**[07:17] Tokisada**
Corporate mandate.
**[07:19] Tokisada**
It's a bit of a pain in the ass.
**[07:21] Ittoki**
Jeez.
**[07:26] Tokisada**
You got involved in an accident?
**[07:29] Ittoki**
Yeah.
**[07:30] Ittoki**
Apparently, both their front tires burst.
**[07:32] Tokisada**
Any injuries?
**[07:33] Ittoki**
Nope.
**[07:36] Ittoki**
What?
**[07:37] Tokisada**
And you still go to cram school
after something like that?
**[07:40] Tokisada**
Being a goody-two-shoes sure is rough.
**[07:42] Ittoki**
Shut up.
**[07:45] Ittoki**
I have to put up with certain things.
**[07:52] Yuka**
I'm home!
**[07:53] Yuka**
I'll make dinner now.
**[07:55] Ittoki**
I'll help.
**[08:01] Ittoki**
You were pretty late today.
**[08:02] Yuka**
A complaining customer took a bit of my time.
**[08:06] Ittoki**
Isn't it tough on you?
**[08:08] Ittoki**
Once I start high school, I'll work
part-time to contribute to expenses.
**[08:11] Yuka**
It's fine.
**[08:12] Yuka**
We have your father's life insurance.
**[08:15] Ittoki**
Then, what if I take fewer lessons?
**[08:18] Yuka**
That won't do.
**[08:19] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[08:19] Ittoki**
I have to continue them in high school, too?
**[08:22] Yuka**
There's no reason to quit.
**[08:25] Ittoki**
Well, you know... There are a lot
of things that come with being young...
**[08:29] Yuka**
Youth is temporary,
**[08:31] Yuka**
but education will last a lifetime.
**[08:33] Yuka**
If you work hard now, it'll definitely
be useful in the future.
**[08:37] Ittoki**
Okay.
**[08:42] Ittoki**
You don't need to supervise
me in the morning, right?
**[08:45] Kousetsu**
It's a coincidence.
**[08:46] Ittoki**
A coincidence that happens basically every day!
**[08:49] Kousetsu**
You're too self-conscious.
**[08:51] Kousetsu**
Boys in puberty are such a pain.
**[08:53] Ittoki**
Puberty has nothing to do with this!
**[09:00] Kousetsu**
What is it?
**[09:02] Ittoki**
No... It's nothing...

*No way.*
**[09:08] Ittoki**
*For real?*
**[09:09] Ittoki**
*No way.*
**[09:11] Ittoki**
*This is real?!*
**[09:22] Tsubaki**
I'm Satomi Tsubaki.
**[09:25] Ittoki**
I'm Ittoki Sakuraba...
**[09:28] Tsubaki**
I know that!
**[09:32] Ittoki**
Oh, of course. Um...
**[09:36] Ittoki**
Y-You're a second-year, Tsubaki?
**[09:39] Tsubaki**
Yes.
**[09:41] Tsubaki**
Um...
**[09:42] Tsubaki**
I've been watching you all
this time, Sakuraba-senpai.
**[09:47] Ittoki**
Yes.
**[09:48] Tsubaki**
You bring everyone
together at school events,
**[09:51] Tsubaki**
and you liven everyone up,
like you're the center of the class!
**[09:54] Ittoki**
Not at all! They're just messing with me.
**[09:57] Tsubaki**
I heard you're really smart, too.
**[10:00] Ittoki**
Not at all!
**[10:02] Tsubaki**
I saw you yesterday, too,
**[10:04] Tsubaki**
when you dodged the truck...
**[10:06] Tsubaki**
You were so cool.
**[10:09] Ittoki**
Not at all!
**[10:10] Tsubaki**
Sakuraba-senpai!
**[10:12] Ittoki**
Yes?!
**[10:14] Tsubaki**
Will you
**[10:16] Tsubaki**
go out with me?
**[10:24] Ittoki**
I'm home!
**[10:26] Yuka**
Welcome back.
**[10:27] Ittoki**
Hey, about next Sunday...
**[10:30] Ittoki**
I'm going to a school info seminar,
so I want to skip gymnastics!
**[10:34] Ittoki**
It's fine, right?
**[10:36] Yuka**
It's a school thing. What can you do, right?
**[10:41] Yuka**
Did you get a girlfriend or something?
**[10:42] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[10:44] Yuka**
You're like an open book, Ittoki!
**[10:48] Yuka**
This is sudden, so you
didn't initiate, did you?
**[10:51] Ittoki**
Well, no.
**[10:53] Yuka**
Since she approached you,
how do you know her?
**[10:55] Yuka**
Cram school? Gymnastics? School?
**[10:57] Yuka**
Why did you decide to date her?
**[10:59] Ittoki**
You're asking a lot of questions.
**[10:59] Ittoki**
So many questions.
**[11:00] Yuka**
Is she cute? What's she like?
**[11:02] Yuka**
I really hope she's a nice girl!
**[11:05] Ittoki**
Well, I don't really know her,
so I'm not sure...
**[11:11] Yuka**
Is that so?
**[11:12] Ittoki**
Mom!
**[11:13] Ittoki**
This has never happened to me before!
**[11:16] Ittoki**
Things are finally starting for me!
**[11:18] Ittoki**
So, please let me go next Sunday!
**[11:22] Yuka**
No.
**[11:23] Yuka**
If it's after lessons,
it'll be too late at night.
**[11:27] Yuka**
You shouldn't date her, either.
**[11:30] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[11:31] Yuka**
Dating someone you've never even talked
to is insincere to the other person.
**[11:35] Ittoki**
That's a bit old-fashioned...
**[11:39] Yuka**
Your mother does not approve.
**[11:44] Ittoki**
Whatever.
**[11:50] sign**
I'm really looking forward to Sunday.♥♥
**[12:01] Ittoki**
Thanks, Uncle!
**[12:04] Ittoki**
I owe you one!

Iga Station
**[12:12] Ittoki**
Tsubaki!
**[12:14] Ittoki**
Sorry I'm late!
**[12:15] Tsubaki**
It's fine.
**[12:16] Tsubaki**
I just got here as well.
**[12:18] Ittoki**
So, where do you want to go?
**[12:21] Ittoki**
Yikes... I don't know what I'm doing.
**[12:24] Ittoki**
Sorry, um...
**[12:25] Tsubaki**
Um!
**[12:27] Tsubaki**
If you're okay with it,
**[12:30] Tsubaki**
would you like to come over to my place?
**[12:33] Ittoki**
*No way!*
**[12:34] sign**
Tsubaki
**[12:35] Ittoki**
*For real?*
**[12:36] Ittoki**
*This is real?!*
**[12:42] Ittoki**
So this is a girl's room...
**[12:45] Tsubaki**
Senpai!
**[12:46] Tsubaki**
Is tea all right?
**[12:46] Ittoki**
Yes! It's fine!
**[12:58] Ittoki**
So, what do you want to do? Watch TV?
**[13:02] Ittoki**
Do you want to play rock-paper-scissors?!
**[13:06] Ittoki**
Hey...
**[13:07] Ittoki**
Tsubaki?
**[13:14] Ittoki**
Wha—
**[13:17] Tsubaki**
Sakuraba-senpai...
**[13:22] Ittoki**
What are you doing?!
**[13:23] Ittoki**
Wait, is this real life?
**[13:25] Ittoki**
No, never mind! Put your clothes back on!
**[13:27] Tsubaki**
Senpai...
**[13:37] Ittoki**
Um...
**[13:40] Tsubaki**
You don't want to?
**[13:43] Ittoki**
It's not that I don't, but...
**[13:48] Tsubaki**
I like you!
**[13:51] Tsubaki**
Senpai!
**[13:58] Ittoki**
I'm sorry!
**[13:59] Ittoki**
I'm not mentally prepared for this!
**[14:01] Ittoki**
We basically just met!
**[14:02] Ittoki**
And there are a lot of things
we should worry about...
**[14:05] Ittoki**
I got it! Is this a prank?
**[14:08] Ittoki**
I bet someone is going to come
out from down here and scream,
**[14:11] Ittoki**
"You got pranked—"
**[14:16] Ittoki**
Wha—
**[14:20] Tsubaki**
I see.
**[14:21] Tsubaki**
You're really sharp.
**[14:24] Ittoki**
Tsubaki?
**[14:26] Ittoki**
What is this?
**[14:28] Ittoki**
What kind of prank is this?
**[14:29] Tsubaki**
Ittoki Sakuraba!
**[14:31] Tsubaki**
Die!
**[14:41] Ittoki**
Kousetsu?!
**[14:48] Kousetsu**
Jump and run away!
**[14:55] Ittoki**
What?!
**[14:56] Ittoki**
Somebody...
**[14:57] Ittoki**
Somebody help me!
**[14:58] Reiha**
Calm down, Young Master.
**[15:01] Ittoki**
Ms. Reiha?
**[15:02] Reiha**
Are you all right?
**[15:03] Ittoki**
Yeah...
**[15:04] Kozo**
We're sorry about this, Young Master.
**[15:06] Ittoki**
Even you, Mr. Kozo?
**[15:08] Kozo**
Our ineptitude resulted in you
having a scary experience.
**[15:13] Ittoki**
What about Kousetsu?!
**[15:14] Kozo**
She'll be fine, Young Master.
**[15:15] Kozo**
We'll be taking you to a safe place now.
**[15:18] Kozo**
For now, please trust us—
**[15:21] Kozo**
Young Master!
**[15:22] Kozo**
Things are going
to get unexpectedly rough!
**[15:24] Kozo**
Please put on your seat belt
and hold on tight.
**[15:42] Reiha**
Are you alright, Young Master?
**[15:44] Reiha**
Wake up, Young Master!
**[15:48] Reiha**
Young Master.
**[15:49] Reiha**
Leave it to us here and head back toward town!
**[15:52] Reiha**
Stay where there are lots of people!
**[15:53] Reiha**
Hurry!
**[15:57] Ittoki**
How did it end up like this?
**[16:07] Ittoki**
"Where there are a lot of people..."
**[16:10] Ittoki**
There's no one here!
**[16:12] Ittoki**
Where am I?
**[16:27] Officer**
Hey, you!
**[16:28] Officer**
What are you doing in a place like this?
**[16:30] Ittoki**
Officer! Perfect timing!
**[16:32] Ittoki**
I went to a friend's house and was
attacked by a suspicious person!
**[16:36] Ittoki**
Then I got kicked off the balcony,
an acquaintance kidnapped me,
**[16:40] Ittoki**
The car crashed and I ran,
and now there's a blackout!
**[16:43] Officer**
Okay, okay.
**[16:44] Officer**
Calm down.
**[16:45] Ittoki**
I'm telling the truth!
**[16:47] Officer**
Yeah.
**[16:48] Officer**
The power's out in this area temporarily
while a transformer's being installed.
**[16:52] Officer**
You hadn't heard?
**[16:53] Ittoki**
Is that what it is?
**[16:55] Ittoki**
I'm not familiar with this area, so...
**[16:57] Ittoki**
But I'm so glad...
**[16:58] Ittoki**
I found a person—
**[17:40] Tokisada**
Ittoki!
**[17:41] Tokisada**
How was your date?
**[17:43] Tokisada**
Were you able to at least kiss her?
**[17:45] Ittoki**
Uncle...
**[17:47] Koga Ninja 1**
The Demi-god...
**[17:48] Koga Ninja 2**
...Tokisada
**[17:51] Tokisada**
What a bother.
**[17:53] Tokisada**
If I don't get paid overtime for the
guy playing dead over there too,
**[17:57] Tokisada**
this job won't be worth it.
**[18:04] Tokisada**
Ittoki...
**[18:05] Tokisada**
Sorry I kept you waiting.
**[18:06] Koga Ninja 1**
He's fast.
**[18:07] Koga Ninja 2**
When did he—
**[18:10] Tokisada**
Well, then...
**[18:18] Tokisada**
It's time to work.
**[18:23] Tokisada**
Ittoki!
**[18:24] Tokisada**
Wake up!
**[18:25] Ittoki**
Uncle?!
**[18:26] Ittoki**
What happened? Who were those guys?!
**[18:29] Ittoki**
Why was I attacked?
**[18:32] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[18:33] Ittoki**
A dream?
**[18:34] Tokisada**
Just get out of the car.
**[18:35] Tokisada**
We're here.
**[18:36] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[18:39] Ittoki**
Where are we?
**[18:40] Tokisada**
Your family home.
**[18:42] Ittoki**
What?
**[18:42] Tokisada**
I'm going to park the car around the back.
**[18:45] Tokisada**
Go on ahead.
**[18:46] Tokisada**
I'll leave it to you, Kousetsu.

**[18:52] Ittoki**
Wha—
**[18:53] Ittoki**
Wha—
**[18:55] Ittoki**
What?!
**[18:57] Reiha**
The Village Chief is here.
**[19:12] Ittoki**
M-Mom?!
**[19:14] Yuka**
Call me "Chief" here.
**[19:16] ---**
Huh?
**[19:17] Yuka**
Listen carefully, Ittoki.
**[19:21] Yuka**
We are shinobi of the Iga village.
**[19:26] ---**
Shinobi?
**[19:28] ---**
Ninjas?!
**[19:29] Yuka**
That's right.
**[19:30] Ittoki**
Ninjas?!
**[19:31] Ittoki**
Ninjas?
**[19:33] Ittoki**
There's no way.
**[19:34] Ittoki**
You're the boss at a service area, right?
**[19:38] Yuka**
That is merely the face we show to the world.
**[19:42] Ittoki**
I never thought I'd hear
someone say that in real life.
**[19:45] Yuka**
Ninjas, who came into being
few hundred years ago,
**[19:49] Yuka**
have survived to the present day
under various guises.
**[19:52] Yuka**
There are still a handful of
villages around the country.
**[19:55] Yuka**
Their members have regular jobs,
and blend into society.
**[20:00] Ittoki**
And that's the service area?
**[20:03] Yuka**
Correct.
**[20:03] Yuka**
Ninjas must follow strict rules.
**[20:06] Yuka**
and by following those rules,
we avoid inter-village quarrels.
**[20:10] Yuka**
For the past few decades,
we have maintained a balance.
**[20:14] Yuka**
Of late, however, the Koga village has
been trying to destroy that balance.
**[20:20] Ittoki**
Koga?
**[20:23] Yuka**
Of the numerous villages that exist,
the Koga ninja wield the most power,
**[20:28] Yuka**
armed with tremendous wealth
and modern ninjutsu.
**[20:31] Yuka**
We found out that they are scheming
to take over our village, the Iga village.
**[20:37] Yuka**
This means that the ones who attacked
you were working for the Koga.
**[20:42] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[20:43] Ittoki**
Why?
**[20:44] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[20:45] Yuka**
The reason they were after your life...
**[20:48] Yuka**
is...
**[20:50] Yuka**
...because you are the 19th legitimate
successor to the storied Iga ninja lineage!
**[20:59] Ittoki**
W-What?!
**[21:00] Yuka**
The reason I raised you strictly
was all for this moment.
**[21:05] Yuka**
Ittoki!
**[21:07] Yuka**
Become a ninja!

EPISODE 1: A BOLT FROM THE BLUE
**[21:13] Ittoki**
I can't.
**[22:46] Koga Ninja**
Salute the Acting
Village Chief, Kidou!
**[22:53] Kidou**
Wounds of the body eventually heal.
**[22:57] Kidou**
However, wounds of the heart will
continue to ache into eternity.
**[23:03] Kidou**
We will continue to suffer the pain
of losing our village chief, Kishinmaru.
**[23:10] Kidou**
They will be made to pay for it.
**[23:14] Kidou**
Pain will be repaid with pain.
**[23:19] Kidou**
We will avenge Kishinmaru.
**[23:21] Kidou**
Vengeance against the Iga ninjas!
**[23:26] Yuka**
Irreversible.
**[23:28] Yuka**
Binding.
**[23:31] Yuka**
Such is the nature of making a choice.

**[00:01] Ittoki**
I can't.
**[00:02] Yumika**
Rest assured.
**[00:04] Yumika**
You possess enough of the
basic skills to be a ninja.
**[00:09] Ittoki**
Wait—
**[00:09] Yumika**
Given that Koga has taken open action
like this, Ittoki, to protect yourself
**[00:15] Yumika**
you need to—
**[00:16] Ittoki**
I'm telling you,
**[00:17] Ittoki**
I can't even believe ninjas
exist to begin with!
**[00:22] Kozo**
Excuse me.
**[00:24] Kozo**
Young Master.
**[00:25] Kozo**
Even at this moment, the Koga ninjas
are lurking about, aiming to take your life.
**[00:31] Kozo**
So please—
**[00:32] Ittoki**
Then let's call the police!
**[00:34] Kozo**
Ninjas can even outwit the police.
**[00:41] Kozo**
The only people you can trust are
your village and yourself.
**[00:46] Yumika**
Form your resolve, Ittoki.
**[00:52] Ittoki**
But...
**[00:54] Tokisada**
Excuse me.
**[00:55] Tokisada**
I'm going to borrow him for a bit.
**[00:57] Ittoki**
Wait, what—
**[00:58] Ittoki**
U-Uncle?!
**[01:00] Ittoki**
Wait!

MERCILESS CHOICES
**[02:34] Ittoki**
Ninjas... This is crazy.
**[02:41] Tokisada**
Well, you're not wrong.
**[02:43] Tokisada**
But choose right now:
become a ninja or die.
**[02:47] Ittoki**
You can't expect me to decide right on the spot!
**[02:50] Ittoki**
I nearly get killed, and you say it was ninjas?!
**[02:53] Ittoki**
Then it's, "be a ninja or else you'll die"?
**[02:55] Ittoki**
It makes no sense!
**[02:58] Ittoki**
How can I believe any of this?
**[03:00] Ittoki**
Life was normal until yesterday...
**[03:02] Ittoki**
I went to school, and studied... I intended to
go to the same high school as my friends!
**[03:07] Ittoki**
I had lots of things I wanted to do!
**[03:10] Ittoki**
Now all of a sudden...
**[03:12] Ittoki**
What the hell is a ninja?!
**[03:16] Tokisada**
Then, the third option.
**[03:19] Ittoki**
What?
**[03:21] Tokisada**
I'll help you escape until the heat dies down.
**[03:27] Ittoki**
You can do that?
**[03:28] Tokisada**
It'd be a huge pain in the ass, but sure.
**[03:32] Tokisada**
Yumika ordered me to run away
with you, if that's what you want.
**[03:37] Ittoki**
My mom did?
**[03:38] Tokisada**
No one knows this but Yumika and me.
**[03:42] Tokisada**
To escape without being noticed,
it has to be now.
**[03:46] Tokisada**
No matter what you choose,
no one will blame you.
**[03:50] Tokisada**
It's our fault that the Koga found out
about you and went after you.
**[03:56] Tokisada**
That's why Yumika felt we ought to
at least provide you some choice.
**[04:05] Tokisada**
Your father was the Iga chief.
**[04:08] Tokisada**
What?
**[04:09] Tokisada**
Because you were only a kid when
he passed, Yumika became chief
**[04:13] Tokisada**
and has been protecting the village.
**[04:17] Tokisada**
Yumika stepped into that role herself.
**[04:22] Tokisada**
Yumika is not a ninja.
**[04:24] Tokisada**
For her to just one day become
a chief of ninjas...
**[04:28] Tokisada**
It's similar to your situation now.
**[04:34] Tokisada**
So you decide, Ittoki.
**[04:41] Tokisada**
Ittoki.
**[04:43] Tokisada**
You might have been putting
up with a lot 'til now,
**[04:47] Tokisada**
but it's doesn't even compare to the
heavy pressure Yumika has endured.
**[04:52] Tokisada**
She has faced a world of
death and fictions alone,
**[04:54] Tokisada**
and shouldered the duties
and responsibility alone.
**[05:00] Tokisada**
That's who's telling you
it's okay for you to run.
**[05:05] Tokisada**
What do you choose, Ittoki?
**[05:09] Ittoki**
That's...
**[05:11] Tokisada**
Unfair, isn't it?
**[05:14] Tokisada**
Yet it's what we adults ask of you.
**[05:21] Ittoki**
I...
**[05:23] Ittoki**
I can't leave Mom alone.
**[05:28] Tokisada**
I see.
**[05:31] Tokisada**
Sorry.
**[05:38] Koga 1**
Ittoki Sakuraba is being sheltered
in the Iga ninja estate.
**[05:42] Koga 1**
He's out of our reach.
**[05:44] Tsubaki**
But we can't just go home like this!
**[05:46] Tsubaki**
We'd bring disgrace on Mr. Enbi's name!
**[05:49] Koga 2**
Koga does not suffer incompetence.
**[05:51] Koga 2**
We could be expelled, or worse.
**[05:53] Tsubaki**
I'll do whatever it takes.
**[05:56] Tsubaki**
Iga will pay!
**[05:58] Housen**
Mr. Enbi.
**[05:59] Housen**
Would I be correct in saying
**[06:02] Housen**
the attacks on Iga a few hours ago
were initiated by your subordinates?
**[06:06] Enbi**
So what if they were?
**[06:07] Housen**
The NSC has already caught wind.
**[06:09] Enbi**
We can't do a damned thing if we're
afraid of shadow hunters!
**[06:13] Housen**
Shall I explain the Three
Ninja Principles to you?
**[06:17] Enbi**
So now you're talkin' down to me, Housen?
**[06:20] Enbi**
Our chief was killed!
**[06:23] Housen**
Do you not see that you're
endangering the village?
**[06:28] Enbi**
Acting Chief...
**[06:30] Kidou**
There is no use in engaging
in internal quarrels.
**[06:33] Kidou**
Both of you remain dedicated
to the Koga village.
**[06:38] Housen**
I apologize.
**[06:40] Kidou**
Koga is strong. Iga is weak.
**[06:44] Kidou**
We can simply choke the life
out of them at our leisure.
**[06:53] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[06:55] Reiha**
Good morning.
**[06:57] Ittoki**
Good morning.
**[06:59] Reiha**
It's almost time for breakfast.
**[07:02] Reiha**
After that, we will discuss the next steps.
**[07:06] Ittoki**
Okay.
**[07:07] Ittoki**
I would appreciate that.
**[07:10] Reiha**
Well then, Young Master.
**[07:11] Reiha**
At present, school is too dangerous,
**[07:14] Reiha**
so you will take academic leave for a while.
**[07:17] Ittoki**
Then what will I do?
**[07:19] Reiha**
You will attend here.
***SIGN*** Kokuten Ninja Academy
**[07:22] Narrator**
Kokuten Ninja Academy is Japan's
only national ninja school.
**[07:28] Narrator**
Here, future ninja candidates work
on their training and studies.
**[07:35] Male Student**
I learned the importance of
friends through ninja training!
**[07:39] Female Students**
Ninjas are amazing!
***SIGN*** We Want You!
**[07:42] Juuzen**
You there, ninja hopeful!
**[07:44] Juuzen**
We're waiting for your admission!
**[07:47] Ittoki**
This was well made for a fake video.
**[07:50] Ittoki**
It had no ninja elements, though.
**[07:52] Reiha**
It's real.
**[07:54] Ittoki**
But anyone can watch this online, right?
**[07:57] Reiha**
That's why no one would think it's real.
**[08:00] Ittoki**
No way...
**[08:02] Reiha**
It's located in an area hidden to the public,
**[08:04] Reiha**
and it's even impossible for
non-student ninjas to sneak in.
**[08:08] Reiha**
They have student dorms,
so you can live in safety.
**[08:12] Reiha**
Plus, the school is operated
under the NSC's jurisdiction,
**[08:15] Reiha**
so it's the safest place for you.
**[08:17] Ittoki**
NSC?
**[08:18] Reiha**
The Ninja Academy's transfer
admission exam is in two days.
**[08:22] Reiha**
If you pass, your safety for
the time being is assured.
**[08:25] Ittoki**
In two days?!
**[08:26] Reiha**
We won't know the exam site until the day of.
**[08:30] Reiha**
So we will have Tokisada pick you up then.
**[08:36] Yumika**
Iga cakes make perfect Iga souvenirs!
**[08:38] Yumika**
Please give them a try!
**[08:41] Yumika**
Would you like a sample?
**[08:43] Housen**
No, thanks.
**[08:45] Housen**
I am Koga Holdings' sales director, Ban.
**[08:53] Ittoki**
What's that NSC thing you
mentioned, Ms. Reiha?
**[08:55] Reiha**
The National Ninjutsu Security
Measures Committee.
**[08:58] Reiha**
NSC for short.
**[09:00] Reiha**
There was a major war in the
shinobi world about 70 years ago.
**[09:05] Reiha**
It was a tragic conflict that
involved all villages.
**[09:08] Reiha**
The NSC was formed afterward,
to avoid further conflict between villages.
***SIGN*** Koga Holdings
Sales Director Housen Ban
**[09:15] Kozo**
You may say they're increasing
the wholesale price,
**[09:18] Kozo**
but we have a long relationship
with Ninman Confections.
**[09:21] Housen**
I believe I told you that Ninman Confections
will be a subsidiary of Koga Holdings.
**[09:27] Kozo**
Buying out business partners
to pressure another village...
**[09:31] Kozo**
Isn't this boundary infringement,
a violation of the Ninja Ordinances?
**[09:35] Housen**
The NSC has determined it does
not constitute infringement.
**[09:40] Kozo**
The NSC?!
**[09:43] Yumika**
I understand.
**[09:45] Yumika**
Then we accept those terms and look
forward to continued business dealings.
**[09:49] Kozo**
Boss!
**[09:50] Yumika**
If this makes the factory workers'
lives better, isn't it a good thing?
**[09:57] Yumika**
I hope to be able to further build our
positive relationship going forward.
**[10:02] Housen**
Likewise.

A true ninja silences their heart.
**[10:17] Suzaku**
I know, Dad.
**[10:21] Yumika**
Since tomorrow is exam day!
**[10:23] Ittoki**
Thanks.
**[10:25] Ittoki**
I am grateful for my food.
**[10:26] Yumika**
I am grateful for my food.
**[10:27] Yumika**
I used a nicer cut of meat today. How is it?
**[10:34] Ittoki**
It's just...
**[10:35] Ittoki**
The whole ninja school thing
still doesn't feel real.
**[10:39] Yumika**
Of course.
**[10:40] Yumika**
You'll have to wing it and try your best.
**[10:42] Yumika**
It's understandable to be nervous,
but I know you'll be fine.
**[10:50] Ittoki**
Dad was a ninja too, right?
**[10:53] Ittoki**
You told me he died in an accident,
but was it because he was a ninja?
**[10:59] Ittoki**
All those lessons I took were for this?
**[11:05] Ittoki**
Am I really gonna become a ninja?
**[11:11] Yumika**
You'll be fine. Come on, eat up.
Your food will get cold.
**[11:17] Ittoki**
Good morning.
**[11:18] Tokisada**
Hey!
**[11:19] Tokisada**
We don't have the exam location yet,
so just sit tight.
**[11:27] Ittoki**
Um...
**[11:28] Tokisada**
Hm?
**[11:29] Ittoki**
Is it really fine that I didn't prepare at all?
**[11:32] Tokisada**
Huh?
**[11:32] Ittoki**
Aren't ninjas more like, you know...
**[11:35] Tokisada**
Huh?
**[11:36] Ittoki**
Don't they use ninjutsu?
**[11:39] Ittoki**
Like breath fire or manipulate water,
**[11:41] Ittoki**
shouting "Fire Style Jutsu"
or "Water Style Jutsu"?
**[11:44] Tokisada**
Huh?!
**[11:46] Kousetsu**
What a pain.
**[11:47] Ittoki**
Did I say something strange?!
**[11:49] Ittoki**
I asked because it's a ninja exam.
Don't I need to practice things like that?
**[11:59] Tokisada**
Fire technique.
**[12:00] Ittoki**
What? Is this some game?
**[12:02] Kousetsu**
Water technique.
**[12:04] Tokisada**
Hey!
**[12:05] Tokisada**
And that's my coffee!
**[12:07] Ittoki**
No, really. What are you doing?
**[12:10] Kousetsu**
A technique involving fire is labeled fire.
**[12:11] Kousetsu**
Same for water.
**[12:13] Kousetsu**
Also, you can't make something from nothing.
**[12:16] Kousetsu**
You'll need to train.
**[12:17] Ittoki**
Uh... what do you mean?
**[12:19] Kousetsu**
I'm saying, to make fire,
**[12:22] Kousetsu**
you'll need something that burns
and something to light it.
**[12:23] Tokisada**
Yes?
**[12:24] Tokisada**
What?
**[12:24] Ittoki**
Uh... I'm lost.
**[12:26] Tokisada**
What?
**[12:27] Tokisada**
What?!
**[12:29] Ittoki**
What's wrong, Uncle?
**[12:30] Tokisada**
They told me the exam location.
**[12:32] Tokisada**
Let's go.
***SIGN*** Koga Service Area
**[12:39] Ittoki**
Koga?!
**[12:40] Tokisada**
They sure are raking it in.
**[12:42] Ittoki**
This is really the exam site?
**[12:45] Tokisada**
Eh, it should be fine.
**[12:47] Tokisada**
For ninjas, killing is generally forbidden,
so you won't die.
**[12:50] Ittoki**
That didn't stop all those ninjas before...
**[12:53] Ittoki**
Why do ninjas work at
service areas in the first place?
**[12:57] Tokisada**
Well, you know.
**[12:59] Tokisada**
Major roads have long been key in
the flow of info and goods, right?
**[13:03] Tokisada**
It's a vestige of that.
**[13:05] Tokisada**
Well... go get 'em, Tiger!
**[13:07] Ittoki**
What?
***SIGN*** Koga Service Area
**[13:09] Ittoki**

**[13:12] Tokisada**
Kousetsu...
**[13:13] Tokisada**
Time to focus. No more complaining.
**[13:16] Kousetsu**
I know.
**[13:18] Kousetsu**
We've got a job to do.
**[13:23] Ittoki**
They don't have signs or anything.
**[13:25] Kousetsu**
Ask the worker where the "ninja meal" is.
**[13:28] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[13:28] Ittoki**
Ask her yourself.
**[13:30] Kousetsu**
Just do it.
**[13:32] Ittoki**
Fine.
**[13:33] Ittoki**
Excuse me.

**[13:49] Kousetsu**
Stay alert.
**[13:51] Ittoki**
Excuse me.
**[13:58] Exam Administrator**
Everyone is here now,
**[13:59] Exam Administrator**
so we will begin the Kokuten Ninjutsu
Academy transfer exam.
**[14:04] Exam Administrator**
The test will be a mock-ninja
practical exam of "hide-and-seek."
**[14:08] Ittoki**
Hide-and-seek?
**[14:09] Exam Administrator**
Examinees will be split into
hiders and seekers.
**[14:14] Exam Taker 3**
Good luck.
**[14:16] Exam Administrator**
The hider will leave the back room first and
hide somewhere within the service area.
**[14:23] Exam Administrator**
A minute later, the seeker will
leave and the exam begins.
**[14:27] Exam Administrator**
The time limit is 10 minutes.
**[14:29] Exam Administrator**
Hiders not found within that
time pass the exam.
**[14:33] Exam Administrator**
Seekers who find and touch
their hider pass the exam.
**[14:39] Exam Administrator**
We will be constantly monitoring
through security cameras.
**[14:43] Exam Administrator**
If we see conduct prohibited
by the Ninja Ordinances,
**[14:46] Exam Administrator**
you will be disqualified immediately.
**[14:49] Exam Administrator**
The exam calls for clever
ploys from the hiders
**[14:52] Exam Administrator**
and espionage ability on the
part of the seekers.
**[14:54] Exam Administrator**
It will show your fundamental
ability as a ninja.
**[15:00] Kousetsu**
Never shoplift.
**[15:02] Kousetsu**
Ever.
**[15:04] Exam Administrator**
All right. Maiko Yasukawa.
**[15:06] Exam Administrator**
Please exit and go hide.
**[15:08] Tsubaki**
Yes, sir.
**[15:09] Tsubaki**
Good luck in the exam.

No way...
**[15:30] Exam Administrator**
Ittoki Sakuraba, begin the exam.
**[15:35] Exam Administrator**
Time has started.
**[15:36] Ittoki**
R-Right!
**[15:39] Ittoki**
*How?*
**[15:40] Ittoki**
*What do I do? What do I do?*
**[15:49] Tokisada**
I'll be confiscating this.
**[15:50] Koga Ninja 1**
Tokisada of the Iga!
**[15:52] Tokisada**
That's correct.
**[15:55] Tokisada**
Goodness.
**[15:56] Tokisada**
Don't go falling asleep on the job now.
**[15:59] Tokisada**
A hundred days without time off?! Good job.
**[16:06] Ittoki**
Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap.
**[16:11] Ittoki**
Kousetsu!
**[16:12] Kousetsu**
Shut up and listen.
**[16:13] Kousetsu**
If they find out I helped,
we'll both be disqualified.
**[16:16] Ittoki**
Kousetsu, Tsubaki is here!
**[16:18] Kousetsu**
It's not just her.
**[16:19] Kousetsu**
Koga ninjas have snuck in, and they're after you.
**[16:22] Ittoki**
Then I have to run!
**[16:23] Kousetsu**
You'll be failed and lose your
shot at the academy.
**[16:26] Ittoki**
The exam still goes forward?!
**[16:28] Kousetsu**
Uncle and I are taking care of them,
**[16:30] Kousetsu**
but they could be anywhere.
**[16:32] Kousetsu**
Stay alert.
**[16:38] Ittoki**
What?!
**[16:40] Mother**
Don't cry.
**[16:42] Kousetsu**
Heat Haze Type 3?
**[16:43] Ittoki**
What?
**[16:44] Kousetsu**
It uses Quantum Stealth and
3D meta-materials to...
**[16:47] Ittoki**
What?
**[16:48] Kousetsu**
It's optical camouflage!
**[16:49] Kousetsu**
Ugh, never mind! Just focus
on passing the exam!
**[16:53] Ittoki**
What?! But there's no way!
**[16:56] Father**
We can get you another one, okay?
**[17:01] Ittoki**
*Push through. Endure it.*
**[17:03] Ittoki**
*Right now, just focus on staying alive!*
**[17:09] Tsubaki**
Thanks for walking into my trap.
**[17:12] Tsubaki**
There are no cameras here.
**[17:14] Tsubaki**
Did you realize you were cornered?
**[17:16] Kousetsu**
Says who?
**[17:17] Tsubaki**
Keep fooling yourself!
**[17:34] Tsubaki**
Idiot.
**[17:43] Ittoki**
Okay!
**[17:49] Tsubaki**
I found you!
**[17:52] Ittoki**
There's a fire!
***SIGN*** Push hard
***SIGN*** Fire alarm
**[17:58] Ittoki**
Fire technique!

**[18:05] Ittoki**
I found her!
**[18:07] Tsubaki**
Ittoki Sakuraba!
**[18:14] Ittoki**
Kousetsu!
**[18:16] Tsubaki**
You bitch!
**[18:18] Tsubaki**
Screw you! That was my chance!
**[18:21] Tsubaki**
Damn it!
**[18:22] Tsubaki**
Let me go!
**[18:23] Tsubaki**
I swear I'll kill you, Ittoki Sakuraba!
**[18:27] Tsubaki**
If it's the last thing I do!
**[18:28] Ittoki**
Wait, let me touch her!
**[18:30] Exam Administrator**
The exam is over.
**[18:32] Exam Administrator**
Time was already up when you
activated the sprinklers.
**[18:37] Ittoki**
It can't be...
**[18:38] Exam Administrator**
Why did you do this?
**[18:40] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[18:40] Exam Administrator**
There are other counters for
optical camouflage.
**[18:43] Exam Administrator**
A ninja should draw as little
attention as possible.
**[18:48] Ittoki**
I didn't want to get anyone else involved.
**[18:53] Ittoki**
I thought I could get everyone
else out of danger this way.
**[18:59] Tokisada**
That takes care of that.
**[19:04] Tokisada**
Well, you failed. What's done is done.
**[19:07] Ittoki**
Now what do I do?
**[19:09] Tokisada**
You'll have to hide until the next exam.
**[19:11] Ittoki**
Where?
**[19:12] Tokisada**
Iga has an uninhabited
island with zero infrastructure,
**[19:15] Tokisada**
about four days away by boat.
**[19:17] Ittoki**
Please no!
**[19:19] Tokisada**
How nice! You'll get to enjoy
the quiet, slow life.
**[19:22] Ittoki**
This sucks...
**[19:23] Tokisada**
Hello? Good to hear from you.
**[19:24] Kousetsu**
You might also get a bill for
the damaged merchandise.
**[19:27] Ittoki**
Are you serious?!
**[19:28] Tokisada**
What?
**[19:29] Tokisada**
Okay...
**[19:31] Ittoki**
What is it?
**[19:32] Tokisada**
They said you passed.
**[19:34] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[19:34] Tokisada**
Well, congrats, I guess.
**[19:37] Tokisada**
Do your best to become a great ninja.
**[19:40] Ittoki**
Y-Yay?
**[19:44] Ittoki**
Should I be happy?
**[19:49] Goshogawara**
I am Goshogawara,
Captain of the 1st Division
**[19:52] Goshogawara**
of the National Ninjutsu Security
Measures Committee.
**[19:54] Goshogawara**
Under the Ninja Ordinances, we have
arrested Satomi Tsubaki and four others
**[19:58] Goshogawara**
for attempted murder and
misuse of ninja tools.
**[20:03] Tsubaki**
Forgive me.
**[20:04] Tsubaki**
Forgive me.
**[20:07] Kidou**
First, allow me to apologize
on behalf of my village.
**[20:15] Kidou**
However, the five that were arrested today
**[20:18] Kidou**
are individuals who disappeared last month.
**[20:21] Kidou**
Koga had been pursuing them as fugitive ninjas.
**[20:26] Kidou**
Still, they were originally Koga shinobi.
***SIGN*** Satomi Tsubaki
**[20:30] Kidou**
As Koga's Acting Chief, I thank
you for apprehending them.
**[20:37] Goshogawara**
Koga's actions of late have smelled rotten.
**[20:41] Goshogawara**
If anything more happens,
Koga will take responsibility.
**[20:53] Goshogawara**
Yes? This is Goshogawara.
**[20:56] Goshogawara**
What?
**[20:58] NSC 1**
Call an ambulance! Quickly!
**[20:59] NSC 2**
Y-Yes!
**[22:40] Mitsuhashi**
Why did you let Ittoki Sakuraba pass?
**[22:43] Juuzen**
The character for shinobi is
written with "blade" and "heart."
**[22:47] Juuzen**
You cannot be a shinobi without a heart.
**[22:52] Tokisada**
Pardon me.
**[22:53] Yumika**
It is clear that there was some Koga
scheme behind the transfer exam earlier.
**[22:59] Tsubaki**
Yes.
**[23:00] Tokisada**
I believe we ought to assume Koga's reach
**[23:03] Tokisada**
extends to the Ninja Academy
and even to the NSC.
**[23:06] Tsubaki**
And what about Iga village?
**[23:09] Tokisada**
We cannot be too careful.
**[23:12] Yumika**
Regarding the assassination
of the Koga chief, Kishinmaru.
**[23:14] Yumika**
What do you make of the assassination
of Koga Chief Kishinmaru
**[23:18] Yumika**
and the suspicion toward Iga?
**[23:20] Tokisada**
There is no doubt a traitor in the Iga village.
**[23:27] ---**
New faces.
**[23:29] ---**
Are they friend...
**[23:31] ---**
or foe?

No. I think.

A train? Where's the station?
**[02:41] Ittoki**
For real?
**[02:43] Tokisada**
Bon voyage!
**[02:48] Ittoki**
Is this really the right place?
**[03:02] Ittoki**
Have we just been in this
tunnel for three hours now?
**[03:05] Kousetsu**
Stop with the questions.
**[03:07] Ittoki**
But doesn't it make you nerv—

Huh?

Wow.

Oh, uh... How do you do?

We haven't met, have we?
**[03:43] Ittoki**
Th-That's right.

Hey, Kousetsu,

Oh.

I'm sorry.

Hey... you're...

Hey! Hey, you! How've ya been?

H-Huh?

Great from the looks of it.
That's awesome!
**[04:35] Ittoki**
Who're you?
**[04:36] Ittoki**
H-Hold on.
**[04:36] Kirei**
Oh, there's just heaps to catch
up on! Let's grab drinks and chat!
**[04:40] Suzaku**
Let's go.
**[04:43] Kirei**
Are you a transfer student?
**[04:44] Ittoki**
Yes.
**[04:45] Kirei**
I can't believe you did something
so clueless right off the bat.
**[04:50] Ittoki**
Did I do something?
**[04:51] Kirei**
Those guys weren't just Koga
ninjas, but elite ones to boot!
**[04:56] Kirei**
Careful. If you tick them
off, your school life's over.
**[05:00] Ittoki**
Thanks for the tip. I'll remember that.
**[05:03] Kirei**
I'm Kirei.
**[05:04] Ittoki**
"Kirei"... pretty? I mean,
I guess you are, but...
**[05:07] Kirei**
No, no, no! My *name* is Kirei.
**[05:10] Kirei**
Of course, I won't deny I'm pretty, too.
**[05:13] Ittoki**
Uh-huh... I'm Ittoki Sakuraba.
**[05:16] Kirei**
What's your village?
**[05:17] Ittoki**
Iga. Why?
**[05:18] Kirei**
Are you kidding? Iga? *The* Iga?!
**[05:21] Ittoki**
What do you mean?
**[05:21] Kirei**
I mean, *everyone*'s heard about
the Iga ninjas, even non-ninjas.
**[05:25] Kirei**
And sure, now you hear they're
poor, or fallen from glory,
**[05:29] Kirei**
or on the verge of collapse, but...
**[05:31] Ittoki**
That's not good.
**[05:32] Kirei**
My situation's not all that different,
so let's be friends, Ittoki.
**[05:37] Ittoki**
Okay.

Congratulations for reaching the next grade.

It's nasty but filling. And nasty.
**[06:37] Ittoki**
Why this?
**[06:38] Kirei**
You might tick them off.
**[06:41] Kirei**
The Koga ninjas have both money and power.
**[06:43] Kirei**
Plus overwhelming numbers.
**[06:45] Kirei**
You can't beat them, so it's better
to actively avoid the Koga students.
**[06:50] Ittoki**
So we can't even have the food we want?
**[06:56] Himura**
Hey, you. What're ya lookin' at?
**[07:00] Kirei**
Gotta go. I think something urgent
is gonna come up. Sorry, Ittoki.
**[07:03] Himura**
You tryin' to pick a fight or something?
**[07:06] Ittoki**
Is there a problem?
**[07:07] Himura**
Don't play dumb, asshole!
**[07:09] Ittoki**
Did I... do something?
**[07:11] Himura**
You bastard! You think you can screw with—
**[07:13] Suzaku**
Himura.
**[07:15] Suzaku**
If you're a ninja, silence your heart.
**[07:19] Suzaku**
For the next Iga chief to act like this...
Do you really not know anything?
**[07:26] Suzaku**
The Koga chief, the great
Kishinmaru, passed away.
**[07:29] Suzaku**
You Iga ninjas killed him!
**[07:32] Ittoki**
What?
**[07:36] Suzaku**
Kishinmaru was a great man, said to be
the most talented ninja in Koga history.
**[07:42] Suzaku**
He was unsurpassed in ninjutsu, and
most importantly, a wonderful person.
**[07:47] Suzaku**
He considered ninjas as a whole,
**[07:48] Suzaku**
not just Koga, and was trying to
compromise with the other villages.
**[07:53] Suzaku**
Kishinmaru was a great man.
**[07:55] Suzaku**
He never should have died!
**[07:58] Suzaku**
Koga will not forgive Iga.
**[08:00] Suzaku**
Your destruction will be certain,
thorough, and complete.
**[08:05] Tokisada**
Why didn't you say anything to Ittoki?
**[08:08] Yumika**
I was simply planning to tell him
once the truth had become clear.
**[08:12] Tokisada**
It's going to lead to even more trouble.
**[08:15] Yumika**
I can't change that.
**[08:16] Tokisada**
We need to get a little
forceful to get anywhere.
**[08:19] Tokisada**
I'll do anything you
order, including torture.
**[08:22] Yumika**
No.
**[08:23] Yumika**
Our grudge lies not with the traitor,
**[08:25] Yumika**
but with the fiend who would use a
person's weakness to manipulate them.
**[08:30] Tokisada**
So then we're keeping to the status quo.
**[08:33] Yumika**
Let's get back to work. Right now
let's accomplish the tasks we can.
**[08:40] Ittoki**
This is the dorm?!
**[08:42] Ittoki**
Honestly, it's better than home!
**[08:44] Ryoko**
This isn't it.
**[08:45] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[08:49] Ittoki**
Is this a haunted house?
**[08:51] Kirei**
It's your dorm.
**[08:52] Ittoki**
It's unfit for human habitation.
**[08:54] Kirei**
Hey! I live here, too, you know.
**[08:57] Ittoki**
That what was that other building?
**[08:59] Kirei**
That was the Koga dorm.
**[09:01] Ittoki**
Koga again?
**[09:03] Kirei**
Boys on the second floor. Girls on the third.
**[09:06] Kirei**
Well, see ya tomorrow.
**[09:08] Ittoki**
Yeah. Um, thanks for all your help.
**[09:11] Kirei**
That reminds me. How did
things go in the cafeteria?
**[09:14] Kirei**
Was it bad?
**[09:15] Ittoki**
Don't worry. I'm fine.
**[09:16] Kirei**
Sorry for splitting on you! But next
time, you should split too! Seriously!
**[09:21] Ittoki**
Yeah, okay.
**[09:29] Ittoki**
The lock?
**[09:31] Ittoki**
You're not gonna knock?!
**[09:33] Kousetsu**
The Koga are just tossing accusations.
**[09:35] Kousetsu**
Huh?
**[09:36] Kousetsu**
Thinking about it is pointless,
as is listening to an enemy.
**[09:40] Ittoki**
You say that, but someone I know
might have killed somebody.
**[09:45] Kousetsu**
You can't afford to spend your time
and energy on pointless things.
**[09:49] Kousetsu**
Those are better spent on training.
**[09:55] Ittoki**
Hey... thanks.
**[09:58] Kousetsu**
"Thanks"? For what?
**[10:00] Ittoki**
It's fine. Don't worry about it.
**[10:06] Mitsuhashi**
We're combining your two classes
for today's exercise.
**[10:09] Mitsuhashi**
You'll be learning hands-on how to
use Ninja Suits and Ninja Cores.
**[10:13] Ittoki**
Ninja Suit? Ninja Core? What're those?
**[10:16] Kousetsu**
Everyone else knows.
**[10:17] Ittoki**
Okay, but *I* don't...
**[10:19] Mitsuhashi**
Each case here contains a
general-purpose suit and core.
**[10:23] Mitsuhashi**
The principles are as you
learned in middle school.
**[10:25] Mitsuhashi**
Once you finish calibrations,
activate your suit.

Whoa!
**[10:43] Ittoki**
Like this? Is this right?
**[10:46] Ittoki**
Really?
**[10:53] Mitsuhashi**
This time, to get you used
to Ninja Suit performance,
**[10:56] Mitsuhashi**
we're having you go to the roof of the tower.
**[10:59] Ittoki**
Excuse me?
**[11:00] Mitsuhashi**
The principal is relaxing up
there with a supply of manju.
**[11:04] Mitsuhashi**
As proof you reached the
roof, bring back a manju.
**[11:07] Mitsuhashi**
However, the principal is a huge manju lover.
**[11:11] Mitsuhashi**
As long as his appetite lasts, he'll keep
snacking on the supply. Keep that in mind.
**[11:16] Ittoki**
Seriously?
**[11:18] Mitsuhashi**
This is your first practical drill.
**[11:20] Mitsuhashi**
Make good use of what you
learned in middle school.
**[11:22] Mitsuhashi**
Use what you learned in middle school
and show you're worthy to be a ninja!
**[11:25] Mitsuhashi**
Ready...
**[11:27] Mitsuhashi**
Begin!
**[11:33] Ittoki**
Kousetsu, I can't move... Why?
**[11:38] Kousetsu**
Insufficient studying.
**[11:39] Ittoki**
H-Help...
**[11:41] Ittoki**
Hey!
**[11:44] Koga Student**
The next Iga chief can't
even use a Ninja Suit right!
**[11:48] Himura**
Here's an idea.
**[11:50] Himura**
If he's that garbage, couldn't we kill
him and make it look like an accident?
**[11:54] Suzaku**
The principal is watching. Be smart.
**[11:57] Suzaku**
There's also...
**[12:03] Mitsuhashi**
Come on, Ittoki Sakuraba.
**[12:05] Mitsuhashi**
If you can't even do this, you could be
immediately expelled for lack of aptitude!
**[12:11] Ittoki**
I can't have that happen!
**[12:13] Mitsuhashi**
Then get in the game!
**[12:15] Mitsuhashi**
You, too! Get it together!
**[12:16] Ittoki**
Shit! I can't let this...
**[12:18] Ryoko**
Excuse me.
**[12:20] Ittoki**
Oh, Ryoko.
**[12:22] Ryoko**
I'll take a look, if you don't mind.
**[12:25] Ittoki**
Huh? What?!
**[12:26] Ryoko**
Oh my. This is some nice
stuff you're working with.
**[12:29] Ittoki**
Ah, ooh, wait...
**[12:32] Ittoki**
Stop. Ah!
**[12:34] Ittoki**
Ah! Stop!
**[12:34] Ryoko**
Correctly sizing a Ninja Suit
can be a delicate issue.
**[12:37] Ryoko**
It's not necessary with custom Suits,
**[12:39] Ryoko**
but with these school ones, you
have to do some adjusting yourself.
**[12:43] Ryoko**
Still, a difference of a just few
millimeters can affect power transmission,
**[12:46] Ryoko**
and sometimes it can work
against you so you can't move.
**[12:50] Ittoki**
Uh, um...
**[12:50] Ryoko**
Even so, I think general-purpose
Cores have a charm of their own.
**[12:55] Ryoko**
Since anyone can use them, anyone
can obtain the power of a ninja!
**[12:59] Ryoko**
This technology could be used to make
powered suits for regular people!
**[13:03] Ryoko**
The technology would truly help society!
**[13:07] Ryoko**
But ninjas have to stay in the shadows.
**[13:08] Ryoko**
How I wish I could bring this
tech into the light of day!
**[13:13] Ryoko**
Oh, pardon me! I let myself get carried away.
**[13:17] Ittoki**
It's fine...
**[13:18] Ryoko**
Okay, time to get moving.
**[13:23] Ittoki**
This is cool!
**[13:29] Ittoki**
Ahhhh!
**[13:31] Ittoki**
I'm gonna die!
**[13:36] Ittoki**
Ow.
**[13:38] Ittoki**
Huh? I'm okay...
**[13:41] Ryoko**
Isn't it wonderful?
**[13:42] Ryoko**
This is the power of Ninja Suits and Cores.
**[13:46] Ittoki**
A Ninja Suit and Core...
**[13:48] Ryoko**
Ninja Cores are a ninja device.
**[13:51] Ryoko**
They power ninja tools and suits.
**[13:53] Ryoko**
Truly you could call them the
"core" of modern ninja practices.
**[13:56] Ryoko**
But if your Core gets damaged,
your Suit will lose power,
**[14:00] Ryoko**
so be careful never to break it!
**[14:03] Ittoki**
Thanks for teaching me all that.
**[14:06] Ryoko**
It's no problem.
**[14:07] Ryoko**
Um, you see, I'm from the Saiga village.
**[14:10] Ittoki**
Saiga?
**[14:11] Ryoko**
Over the generations,
**[14:13] Ryoko**
the village has been a producer of
ninja tools, including Suits and Cores.
**[14:17] Ryoko**
So, um, you see...
**[14:19] Ryoko**
I just... love ninja tools.
**[14:24] Ittoki**
I see...
**[14:25] Ryoko**
It's rare to find a shinobi who knows
nothing about ninja tools, so I just...
**[14:30] Ryoko**
Oh, I forgot to mention!
**[14:31] Ryoko**
Each village's Ninja Suits and Cores
have their own characteristics—
**[14:34] Ittoki**
Uh, could we continue this after class?
**[14:37] Ryoko**
Oh, of course! Sorry!
**[14:59] Juzen**
Congratulations. You're the first one.
**[15:05] Suzaku**
You think your skill is enough
to protect your chief?
**[15:20] Kirei**
That was a lot!
**[15:21] Juzen**
Nice work. Want some tea?
**[15:23] Kirei**
Oh, yes, please!
**[15:27] Ryoko**
You're expending excess
effort. Trust the Suit more!
**[15:31] Ittoki**
I'm slowly... getting the hang of this.
**[15:43] Ittoki**
Kousetsu?
**[15:45] Ryoko**
How lovely. They're bringing out
100% of the Suits' capabilities!
**[15:48] Ittoki**
What?
**[15:53] Kirei**
Oh, hey. How can I help you?
**[15:56] Himura**
Hand over your manju.
**[15:57] Kirei**
What?
**[15:59] Himura**
There's no rule saying we can't steal them.
**[16:02] Ryoko**
We reached the second island!
**[16:05] Ittoki**
We're only halfway? It's so far!
**[16:10] Ittoki**
Ryoko, could you go ahead without me?
**[16:14] Ryoko**
Sure...
**[16:19] Ittoki**
Kirei?!
**[16:24] Kirei**
Oh, Ittoki.
**[16:26] Ittoki**
Who did this to you?
**[16:28] Kirei**
This really ferocious cat. It was hissing.
**[16:35] Kirei**
Just kidding. Some of the Koga
elites. They broke my Core, too.
**[16:40] Ittoki**
Let's report them to the teacher.
**[16:42] Kirei**
No. You heard the principal.
If you're not found out, you're okay.
**[16:46] Kirei**
I just wasn't paying enough attention.
**[16:50] Ittoki**
None of this is right!
**[16:58] Koga Student 1**
Hand over your manju.
**[17:01] Himura**
Oh, you're gonna pick a fight with Koga?
**[17:04] Ittoki**
Stop!
**[17:07] Himura**
What's this?
**[17:09] Himura**
I'm amazed you even got here, future chief.
**[17:12] Ittoki**
Return what you took.
**[17:14] Himura**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[17:21] Ittoki**
Damn it!
**[17:23] Himura**
What are you? A boar?
**[17:24] Koga Student 1**
Hey, this is self-defense, right?
**[17:26] Koga Student 2**
He started the fight.
**[17:28] Himura**
So, shall we say he got
carried away, to fatal results?
**[17:35] Ryoko**
I made it.
**[17:36] Juzen**
Nice work.
**[17:43] Himura**
Hurts, doesn't it? Getting
kicked with a Ninja Suit.
**[17:48] Himura**
Hey, be careful, man.
**[17:54] Himura**
You bastard...
**[17:59] (Flashback) Ryoko**
But if your Core gets damaged,
your Suit will lose power,
**[18:03] (Flashback) Ryoko**
so be careful never to break it!
**[18:08] Himura**
Why you!
**[18:11] Himura**
Give up already!
**[18:20] Himura**
That's it. Die.
**[18:23] Juzen**
That's enough.
**[18:27] Himura**
He attacked first.
**[18:31] Juzen**
Well, I'll have to punish both sides, then.
**[18:39] Juzen**
Wanna go to the infirmary?
**[18:43] Ittoki**
I'm... okay.
**[18:45] Juzen**
All right.
**[18:46] Juzen**
The manju will all be eaten
soon, so don't take too long!
**[18:57] Ittoki**
Here.
**[18:58] Kirei**
Huh?
**[19:00] Kirei**
I can't take this.
**[19:02] Ittoki**
It's not mine.
**[19:05] Himura**
Huh? Whe—
**[19:07] Mitsuhashi**
If you don't have it,
you'll have to start over.
**[19:10] Himura**
What?
**[19:10] Himura**
Hey, you two! You didn't—
**[19:16] Ryoko**
That little...
**[19:18] Himura**
You piece of shit!
**[19:24] Suzaku**
Your disgraceful display is over.
**[19:28] Kirei**
That was a dangerous thing to do.
**[19:31] Ittoki**
If you're not found out, you're okay, right?
**[19:36] Kirei**
This is far enough.
**[19:37] Ittoki**
What? But...
**[19:38] Kirei**
You haven't finished the
assignment yet, right?
**[19:41] Ryoko**
Ittoki?
**[19:42] Ryoko**
Are you okay?
**[19:43] Ittoki**
Ryoko.
**[19:44] Ittoki**
Did you finish?
**[19:45] Ryoko**
Yes. Now I just have to get back.
**[19:49] Ittoki**
That's great.
**[19:50] Ittoki**
Um... could you help Kirei for me?
**[19:53] Ittoki**
She's injured.
**[19:55] Ryoko**
Of course.
**[19:57] Ryoko**
You can go back and finish.
**[19:59] Ittoki**
Thanks.
**[20:03] Ryoko**
It was Kirei, right?
**[20:06] Kirei**
Ryoko, right? Thanks.
**[20:08] Ryoko**
Ittoki is wonderful, isn't he?
**[20:11] Kirei**
Isn't it a little embarrassing
to phrase it that way?
**[20:17] Juzen**
Oh, nice work.
**[20:20] Ittoki**
Thank goodness!
**[20:21] Juzen**
The character for "shinobi" is
written with "blade" above "heart".
**[20:26] Juzen**
You can't be a shinobi with just
a blade, much less just a heart.
**[20:42] Ittoki**
So...
**[20:44] Ittoki**
People are avoiding me. Yup.
**[20:47] Koga Student 1**
Poor guy. He just transferred
and already he's all alone.

Be my guest.
**[21:21] Ryoko**
We never finished our

**[21:24] Kirei**
Hey. I see we think alike.
**[21:31] Ittoki; Kousetsu; Ryoko; and Kirei**
I'm grateful for my food!

Hey. Still alive?

Evidence at the scene was nearly nonexistent.
**[00:27] Goshogawara**
Our one piece of evidence is that
lacerations from the murder weapon

are characteristic of Iga ninja sword wounds.
**[00:34] Goshogawara**
Accordingly, the 1st Division's
person of greatest interest is...

characteristic of Iga ninja sword wounds.
***SIGN*** - No suspicious people caught on surveillance cameras in the area - A forensic team investigated the murder scene (Given high probability of the culprit being a ninja, a wide area was searched) - No weapon, fingerprints, footprints, or articles found at the scene or in the vicinity - Sole piece of evidence: Lacerations from murder weapon are characteristic of Iga ninja sword wounds.

Hold on, sir! She's a rookie

**[02:46] Goshogawara**
You have an objection?
**[02:50] NSC 1**
No, sir.
**[02:53] Goshogawara**
What do you know of Tokisada Kaga?
**[02:56] Shione Kouzuki**
Nothing definite, aside from his
nickname "Tokisada the Demi-god."
**[03:00] Shione Kouzuki**
The anecdotes all sound like superstition.
**[03:03] Goshogawara**
Take a look.
**[03:08] Shione Kouzuki**
What's that black, haze-like thing?
**[03:12] Goshogawara**
*That's* Tokisada.
**[03:14] Goshogawara**
He's so fast that the surveillance
camera can only capture afterimages.
**[03:18] Goshogawara**
Operate under the assumption that the
superstitions surrounding him are all true.
**[03:36] Tokisada**
Hey there, Gantetsu.
**[03:38] Gantetsu**
Tokisada...
**[03:41] Tokisada**
I wanted to have a chat about something...
**[03:45] Mitsuhashi**
In two days, I'll administer a written test.
***SIGN*** Written test covering general principles of ninja tools
**[03:48] Mitsuhashi**
It will be a general test on
the workings of ninja tools.
**[03:51] Mitsuhashi**
The minimum ninja tools will be
provided, so study thoroughly.
**[03:55] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[04:02] Ittoki**
I'd like you to teach me about ninja tools.
**[04:04] Ryoko**
How wonderful! Gladly!
**[04:07] Ittoki**
I was pretty confident
in my academics, but...
**[04:10] Ittoki**

just reading the questions.

**[04:16] Ittoki**
That's why I'm studying!
**[04:18] Kirei**
What? You were trying to solve them for real?
**[04:21] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[04:22] Kirei**
Listen, a ninja tools exam is about using
ninja tools to steal the test answers.
**[04:27] Ittoki**
What?!
**[04:29] Kirei**
The day before the written exam, the
teacher hides the answers somewhere.
**[04:35] Kirei**
Your job is to get your hands on them.
**[04:40] Kirei**
And of course, if the teacher
catches you, you fail the exam.
***SIGN*** Safe
**[04:45] Ittoki**
Wait, really?
**[04:46] Kirei**
We only need one copy of the answers,
so let's all work together!
**[04:51] Kirei**
How 'bout it?
**[04:51] Ryoko**
I'm happy to join the team!
**[04:53] Ittoki**
You help too, Kousetsu.
**[05:03] Himura**
Hey, Suzaku, are ya really gonna
leave that Iga asshole alone?
**[05:07] Suzaku**
There's no need for me to act now.
The time will come soon enough.
**[05:11] Himura**
Then I'll be making a move of my own.
**[05:14] Suzaku**
Go right ahead.
**[05:16] Ittoki**
Huh? Like this?
**[05:19] Ryoko**
Ah, you have to be more loving with it!
**[05:23] Ryoko**
Jeez!
**[05:24] Ryoko**
I'll just do it!
**[05:27] Ittoki**
Sorry.
**[05:30] Ryoko**
Sorry about that.
**[05:31] Ittoki**
What kind of ninja can't
do his own maintenance?
**[05:35] Ittoki**
It's sad, right?
**[05:37] Ryoko**
Don't let it bother you.
**[05:38] Ryoko**
Most shinobi leave it to
their ninja tool craftsman.
**[05:42] Ryoko**
Also, I'm doing it because I like it.
**[05:45] Ryoko**
Look!
**[05:46] Ryoko**
Do you know what this mark means?
**[05:48] Ittoki**
Saiga village?
**[05:50] Ryoko**
The Ninja Gear, Cores, and tools the school
provides were all made by my village.
**[05:56] Ryoko**
I never get tired of seeing it.
**[05:59] Ittoki**
Ryoko, you want to be a ninja
tool craftsman, don't you?
**[06:02] Ryoko**
I do. But... if only things
were that simple...
**[06:06] Ryoko**
My father is the leader of Saiga village.
**[06:10] Ryoko**
But ever since I was little,
**[06:12] Ryoko**
he's been telling me he won't
let me succeed his position.
**[06:15] Ryoko**
He's told me to instead
live life like a girl.
**[06:19] Ryoko**
I had to push hard to get him
to let me attend the Academy,
**[06:22] Ryoko**
but he told me I have to cut ties with
the ninja world after I graduate.
**[06:27] Ittoki**
Why? I can see how much
you love ninja tools.
**[06:31] Ryoko**
I'm sure my father has his own good reasons.
**[06:35] Ryoko**
But to have the decision made for
me, irrespective of my wishes...
**[06:40] Ryoko**
It's hard to accept, you know?
**[06:46] Ittoki**
You're out there, right, Kousetsu?
**[06:49] Ittoki**
Me becoming a ninja already seems pretty
dubious, but village chief? It's ridiculous.
**[06:55] Ittoki**
How come it's not Uncle, or you, Kousetsu?
**[06:59] Kousetsu**
Ninjas value bloodlines.
**[07:02] Ittoki**
But with Ryoko...
**[07:03] Kousetsu**
They have their ways. We have ours.
**[07:06] Ittoki**
You'd actually be satisfied
with me as the chief?
**[07:10] Kousetsu**
I'd obey regardless. That's the ninja way.
***SIGN*** Height Limit

**[07:16] Gantetsu**
Sorry for greeting you
with a shuriken like that.
**[07:19] Gantetsu**
Word is things are tense
between Iga and Koga,
**[07:23] Gantetsu**
so I thought for sure you'd
gone and done something.
**[07:27] Tokisada**
Who do you think I am?
**[07:29] Gantetsu**
Aren't you Tokisada the Demi-god?
**[07:31] Tokisada**
I'm a salaryman with a low monthly income.
**[07:33] Gantetsu**
Then let's talk business.
**[07:37] Gantetsu**
Could Iga help me out and buy these?
**[07:42] Tokisada**
A ninja tool?
**[07:43] Gantetsu**
As a souvenir of a ninja
village, buy a toy ninja!
**[07:52] Gantetsu**
Neat, right?
**[07:54] Tokisada**
Yeah, no thanks.
**[07:56] Gantetsu**
With fewer ninjas, ninja
tools aren't selling.
**[08:00] Gantetsu**
I'm betting on these guys. Come on!
**[08:02] Tokisada**
We don't have money to gamble.
Try Koga or somebody.
**[08:06] Gantetsu**
They won't buy 'em.
**[08:08] Tokisada**
Aren't they your best customers?
**[08:11] Gantetsu**
Just recently, they came and
said they're shifting their
**[08:14] Gantetsu**
ninja tool orders to factories overseas.
**[08:18] (Flashback) Enbi**
If your outfit's willing to match
their prices, we'd consider it though.
**[08:22] (Flashback) Gantetsu**
Get serious! Is this some ploy to
get Saiga's skills for a pittance?
**[08:26] (Flashback) Enbi**
Not at all.
**[08:28] (Flashback) Enbi**
We've got a different job for your outfit.
Something only you can make.
**[08:32] (Flashback) Gantetsu**
Oh?
**[08:36] (Flashback) Gantetsu**
What?!
**[08:37] (Flashback) Enbi**
Money is no issue.
**[08:39] (Flashback) Gantetsu**
You people must be crazy!
**[08:41] Tokisada**
What were the blueprints for?
**[08:43] Gantetsu**
That I can't disclose.
**[08:45] Gantetsu**
I still have my professional obligations.
**[08:47] Gantetsu**
No point trying to get them from me.
**[08:49] Gantetsu**
He took all the documents
with him when he left.
**[08:54] Tokisada**
You gonna take the job?
**[08:55] Gantetsu**
It's a huge job that'll
take the whole village.
**[08:58] Gantetsu**
Taking it will effectively
make us Koga's slaves.
**[09:03] Gantetsu**
That said, if I don't,
Saiga village is finished.
**[09:07] Gantetsu**
Of course, I'm also considering
just ending it with my generation.
**[09:10] Tokisada**
You have a successor.
**[09:13] Gantetsu**
She's my darling daughter.
**[09:16] Gantetsu**
Far better to let her live happily in
the sun than force hardship on her.
**[09:24] Tokisada**
Seems a shame.
**[09:35] Enbi**
Take care of these tasks, too.
**[09:38] Secretary**
How soon?

You're a woman. Smile and be pleasant.
**[09:59] Kirei**
The safes with the answers were set up today.
**[10:02] Kirei**
There's more than one, so let's pick one
with as little competition as possible.
**[10:08] Kusunoki**
Hey, um, could we join you?
**[10:11] Ittoki**
Huh? Won't that bring trouble your way?
**[10:15] Kusunoki**
To be honest, I thought people like me
from a small village couldn't do anything.
**[10:21] Kusunoki**
But...
**[10:27] Kusunoki**
seeing you made me
feel like maybe we could.
**[10:34] Kirei**
All right! The mission is tonight.
**[10:37] Kirei**
Until then, let's hammer out our strategy!
**[10:51] Tokisada**
Now then, I guess I'll get to work.
**[11:07] Ittoki**
This is Woodpecker. We've reached the office.
**[11:10] Ittoki**
Owl, how's the coast?
**[11:12] Kirei**
All clear.
**[11:15] Ryoko**
Okay, let's use this to
scout things out inside.
**[11:18] Ryoko**
Take it away, Ittoki.
**[11:19] Ittoki**
What? *Me*?
**[11:20] Kousetsu**
That's a bad idea.
**[11:22] Ryoko**
I want Ittoki to experience
how wonderful ninja tools are.
**[11:25] Ittoki**
Um... it's a shuriken, but basically
it's like a drone, so...
**[11:30] Ryoko**
Correct. You'll control it with your device,
**[11:33] Ryoko**
and the image data from
the camera in the center
**[11:37] Ryoko**
will be displayed via a link with my device.

**[11:57] Ittoki**
All right. Come back.
**[12:06] Ittoki**
Oh, crap! Crap!
**[12:06] Kousetsu**
Hurry!
**[12:27] Kirei**
She's here! She's here!
**[12:29] Kirei**
We'll keep her busy! Find
a way to get those answers!
**[12:33] Ittoki**
Roger.
**[12:35] Tokisada**
Shit, the focus is off.
**[12:38] Tokisada**
Guess it's time for new contacts.
**[12:41] Tokisada**
I'm seeing a ton of cameras.
**[12:44] Tokisada**
As for systems...
**[12:45] Tokisada**
Ugh, they've got thermal sensors.
**[12:55] Tokisada**
So Heat Haze is a no go. What a pain.
**[13:05] Tokisada**
Ready... boom.
**[13:24] Shione Kouzuki**
Dang.
**[13:34] Ittoki**
Yeah, it's gone.
**[13:36] Ittoki**
Kirei! The key to the safe is gone!
**[13:38] Ittoki**
Ms. Mitsuhashi probably has it!
**[13:41] Ittoki**
*Can you get it from her?*
**[13:42] Kirei**
No way!
**[13:43] Kirei**
*We have our hands full just running!*
**[13:45] Kusunoki**
Let's split up!
**[14:00] Himura**
Hey there, shrimp.
**[14:02] Kusunoki**
Himura!
**[14:05] Kusunoki**
*Himura is after us!*
**[14:06] Ittoki**
Hello? Hello?!
**[14:08] Kousetsu**
I'm on it.
**[14:12] Ittoki**
Ah, what do we do now?
**[14:15] Ryoko**
I'll open the safe.
**[14:16] Ittoki**
You can do that?!
**[14:18] Ryoko**
It's a prototype, but it's Saiga's
newest lock-opening ninja tool.
**[14:22] Ryoko**
It's not school-issued,
so it's kinda cheating...
**[14:27] Ittoki**
If you're not found out, you're okay!
**[14:32] Ittoki**
Kirei! Buy us some time!
**[14:34] Kirei**
I can't get you much!
**[14:38] Ryoko**
It'll be done in one minute!
**[14:51] Tokisada**
Thirty-two minutes?! Piece of junk...
***SIGN*** Left 9, right 15, left 7

**[15:38] Ryoko**
It's open!
**[15:43] Ittoki**
We got 'em!
**[15:44] Ittoki**
Everyone, withdraw!
**[15:46] Kousetsu**
You leave first!
**[15:48] Kusunoki**
S-Sorry...
**[15:54] Himura**
We're done here.
**[16:02] Tokisada**
Hey. Good work.
**[16:15] Security Officer 1**
We've got something in the duct in
front of the president's office!
**[16:40] Shione Kouzuki**
Because of my error, I lost track of Tokisada
**[16:43] Shione Kouzuki**
and failed to gain any information.
**[16:45] Goshogawara**
Do you want off the assignment?
**[16:46] Shione Kouzuki**
No, please let me continue!
**[16:49] Goshogawara**
Then your assignment remains unchanged.
**[16:51] Shione Kouzuki**
What? Are you sure, sir?
**[16:53] Goshogawara**
I need people who don't lose heart
when faced with such an opponent.
**[16:57] Shione Kouzuki**
Thank you, sir!
**[16:58] Goshogawara**
Thanking me is a waste of time.
**[17:01] Goshogawara**
What about the Koga factory?
**[17:03] Shione Kouzuki**
Security was too tight for
just a foodstuff factory.
**[17:09] Goshogawara**
Any hard evidence of a second operation?
**[17:11] Shione Kouzuki**
Not that I encountered.

I wish I could see the looks on their faces!

I bet they were drenched in a cold sweat!
**[17:40] Himura**
I knew they'd never realize the answers had
been switched out, since they're idiots.
**[17:48] Ittoki**
It's over.
**[17:51] Ryoko**
Well,
**[17:52] Ryoko**
even though those weren't the expected
problems, I was able to solve them anyway.
**[17:57] Kirei and Ittoki**
What?!
**[17:58] Ittoki**
You solved them?!
**[17:59] Kirei**
You're kidding!
**[18:00] Ryoko**
I'm from Saiga village, after all.
**[18:02] Ittoki**
Ryoko, you'd be an excellent
ninja tool craftsman.
**[18:08] Ittoki**
It's crazy.
**[18:09] Ryoko**
Huh?
**[18:11] Ittoki**
To not get to do what you want
to do... It's just crazy.
**[18:16] Ittoki**
Is there no choice but to put up with it?
**[18:20] Ryoko**
I'm not going to give up!
**[18:27] Enbi**
Not only did a ninja get in,
but there's this bullshit?
**[18:31] Enbi**
I never instructed you to do this!

But the instruction memo was
right here, plain as day.
***SIGN*** Order toy ninjas from Saiga village 10,000 units Pay immediately!
**[18:43] Gantetsu**
Huh? A mistaken order?
**[18:45] Gantetsu**
Production's already begun, though.
**[18:48] Gantetsu**
We'll craft quality items worth the money.
**[18:51] Gantetsu**
I swear on our pride as Saiga village!
**[18:53] Tokisada**
Business seems to be looking up.
**[18:55] Gantetsu**
Tokisada...
**[18:57] Tokisada**
Cheaping out on an old model almost
bit me in the ass. Make me a new one.
**[19:02] Gantetsu**
I can't do it in one or two days.
**[19:05] Tokisada**
I guess your retirement's on hold until then.
**[19:09] Gantetsu**
When you get old, you
start talkin' to yourself.
**[19:14] Gantetsu**
Kidou came to see me several years ago.
**[19:18] Gantetsu**
He wanted a Ninja Core that could hold
**[19:21] Gantetsu**
far more energy than even
the best current Ninja Core.
**[19:27] Gantetsu**
I told him even we couldn't
do that and sent him away.
**[19:31] Tokisada**
Gantetsu...
**[19:33] Gantetsu**
Too much talkin' to myself.
**[19:38] Yumika**
Did you discover anything?
**[19:40] Tokisada**
Yes.
**[19:41] Tokisada**
I obtained intel from Saiga's leader.
**[19:44] Tokisada**
I believe Koga's aim is the secret
Ninja Core passed down in Iga.
**[19:50] Reiha**
Hold on a moment!
**[19:52] Reiha**
Does Iga's secret Ninja Core actually exist?
**[19:55] Reiha**
The stories say it was
a technology born in war
**[20:00] Reiha**
and then sealed away by the Iga chief,
a power too dangerous for human hands.
**[20:03] Reiha**
I always assumed it was a legend.
**[20:06] Yumika**
It does exist.
**[20:08] Ryoko**
The location of Iga's secret
Ninja Core is closely held,
**[20:12] Ryoko**
being passed only to the chief.
**[20:15] Yumika**
Should you wish to see it,
I cannot oblige. But it is real.
**[20:20] Kozo**
Then what is their objective in seeking it?
**[20:24] Yumika**
Koga is trying to start a war.
**[20:31] Kirei**
The cleaning penalty isn't so
bad when we do it together!
**[20:35] Ittoki**
Ryoko, you got a perfect score.
You don't have to clean.
**[20:39] Ryoko**
I want to help my friends.
**[20:42] Ittoki**
It's almost like we're at a
normal school, huh, Kousetsu?
**[20:46] Ittoki**
What gives?
**[20:48] Kousetsu**
There's a traitor among us.
**[20:50] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[20:51] Kousetsu**
It was most likely Koga that
switched out the answers.
**[20:53] Ittoki**
What?
**[20:54] Kousetsu**
They had to have known
which safe we'd target.
**[20:58] Kousetsu**
Someone is in contact with Koga.
**[21:00] Ittoki**
No way...
**[22:43] Karajishi**
The attempted assassination
of Iga's successor
**[22:45] Karajishi**
became unprosecutable with
the suspect's suicide.
**[22:48] Karajishi**
Kidou managed to fully slip away.
**[22:50] Karajishi**
It's frustrating.
**[22:52] Karajishi**
The 2nd Division stands ready
to assist you any time.
**[23:00] NSC**
Here are the results from
Satomi Tsubaki's autopsy.
**[23:04] Goshogawara**
Does anyone else know?
**[23:06] NSC**
It was done in absolute secrecy,
so no one knows but me.
**[23:11] Goshogawara**
A microchip was found in Satomi
Tsubaki's brain, purpose unknown.
**[23:26] Kousetsu**
It's foolish.
**[23:28] Kousetsu**
That's clear.
**[23:30] Kousetsu**
And yet,
**[23:32] Kousetsu**
the cycle repeats.

**[00:04] (Flashback) Kishinmaru**
My dream...
**[00:06] (Flashback) Kishinmaru**
is to create a world with no ninjas.
**[00:08] (Flashback) Suzaku**
What does that mean?
**[00:11] (Flashback) Kishinmaru**
Ninjas exist to protect peace in secret.
**[00:15] (Flashback) Kishinmaru**
Therefore, a world with no ninjas could
only arise from a world truly at peace.
**[00:22] (Flashback) Kishinmaru**
Don't you think?
**[00:25] (Flashback) Kishinmaru**
I don't want you or the

**[02:18] Mitsuhashi**
Now then, let's begin home room.
**[02:24] Kusunoki**
Ms. Mitsuhashi, where's Nemoto?
**[02:26] Mitsuhashi**
He started his long break a little early.
**[02:30] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[02:33] Kirei**
An early summer break...
**[02:35] Kirei**
I'm jealous.
**[02:36] Mitsuhashi**
Don't get into summer break mode just yet.
**[02:39] Mitsuhashi**
The end-of-term exam is next week.
**[02:42] Mitsuhashi**
It will be a practical exam conducted
jointly with all classes.
**[02:46] Mitsuhashi**
The exam is extremely dangerous.
**[02:47] Mitsuhashi**
Students are injured every year.
**[02:50] Mitsuhashi**
In the worst cases, there
have been fatal accidents.
**[02:54] Mitsuhashi**
A ninja walks shoulder
to shoulder with death.
**[02:58] Mitsuhashi**
Keep your wits about you.
**[03:02] Ittoki**
Are fatal accidents really that common?
**[03:04] Kirei**
From what I've heard, every
year there's one or two...
**[03:08] Kirei**
or maybe ten?
**[03:09] Ittoki**
No way!
**[03:11] Kousetsu**
Koga is sure to make a move.
**[03:13] Ittoki**
You think I could skip the exam?
**[03:15] Kirei**
You failed the ninja tool exam,
**[03:18] Kirei**
so if you play hooky now, don't
complain if you're expelled.
**[03:21] Ittoki**
Expelled?!
**[03:23] Kousetsu**
Uninhabited island.
**[03:33] Suzaku**
I *will* kill you.
**[03:41] Goshogawara**
Throughout the long history of ninjas,
**[03:44] Goshogawara**
Koga has always boasted the greatest power
**[03:47] Goshogawara**
and expanded its power by
swallowing up other villages.
**[03:50] Shione Kouzuki**
Acts of aggression are prohibited
under the Ninja Ordinances.
**[03:54] Goshogawara**
That's why they put financial
pressure on the villages.
**[03:58] Shione Kouzuki**
I would never let that stand!
**[04:00] Goshogawara**
But they can't fight back.
**[04:03] Goshogawara**
It was the previous chief, Kishinmaru,
who changed all of that.
**[04:07] Goshogawara**
Kishinmaru aimed to walk a path of peace
hand in hand with the other villages.
***SIGN*** Name Sex Village
***SIGN*** Kishinmaru Minobe Male Koga
***SIGN*** - The second son of Yuki Minobe.
- Graduated valedictorian of Kokuten Ninja Academy
and set a record score in the practical exam, which,
to this day, no one has surpassed.
- At 18, put down the Ise Nagashima Uprising in
cooperation with the NSC.
- At 20, at the Japanese government's request,
suppressed a terrorist group in perfect secrecy
without producing a single casualty.
- As a result of these achievements, became Koga
chief at the young age of 21.
- Pursued friendly relations with the villages that
had cut off relations and accomplished numerous
reforms, such as remedying economic disparities,
employment stabilization for public cover jobs, and
regulations on use of ninja tools of mass slaughter.
- Despite the discord resulting from Koga's long
period of domination, through patient diplomacy,
he brought about peaceful village unification and
alliances, which were estimated to involve roughly
half the villages in Japan.
**[04:11] Goshogawara**
He was even dubbed Koga's finest ninja,
**[04:14] Goshogawara**
and he was admired not just in Koga, but
by many ninjas, regardless of village.
**[04:18] Goshogawara**
And despite that, he was killed.
**[04:21] Shione Kouzuki**
I just can't fathom the motive.
**[04:24] Shione Kouzuki**
Even if we assume it was the
work of Iga village, why?
**[04:27] Goshogawara**
The current problem is that Koga
holds a fierce grudge against Iga.
**[04:33] Goshogawara**
All-out war is a hair's breadth away.
**[04:36] Goshogawara**
If that happens, great
harm not just to ninjas,
**[04:38] Goshogawara**
but also to ordinary people
will be unavoidable.
**[04:42] Goshogawara**
We must uncover the truth and resolve
the situation as soon as possible.
**[04:51] Housen**
That concludes my report.
**[04:53] Kidou**
What of the contract with Saiga?
**[04:55] Enbi**
It will... require more time...
**[04:57] Kidou**
They are necessary.
**[05:00] Kidou**
Use somewhat forceful
measures if you have to.
**[05:03] Enbi**
Yes, sir.
**[05:04] Kidou**
The meeting is over.
**[05:06] Kidou**
Housen, could we speak for a moment?
**[05:09] Housen**
Yes.
**[05:12] Kidou**
Have you spoken to Suzaku about the Academy?
**[05:16] Housen**
No... is there some issue with my son?
**[05:19] Kidou**
His grades are top of the class.
**[05:21] Kidou**
They say his brilliance ranks
alongside Kishinmaru's.
**[05:26] Kidou**
I was a disappointment who couldn't
even get in to the Academy.
**[05:30] Kidou**
You have a fine son.
**[05:32] Housen**
Thank you for those words.
**[05:34] Kidou**
As you can see, I'm frail
and could die at any moment.
**[05:38] Kidou**
The issue of who should succeed as
Koga's chief is always on my mind.
**[05:43] Kidou**
I consider Suzaku a fine candidate.
**[05:55] (Flashback) Suzaku**
I will be the one to carry on your will.
**[06:08] (Flashback) Housen**
Are you alright?
**[06:10] (Flashback) Suzaku**
I failed to truly comprehend
Chief Kishinmaru.
**[06:16] (Flashback) Suzaku**
Why did he seek peace so dearly?
**[06:19] (Flashback) Suzaku**
It was because he knew the pain of loss.
**[06:22] (Flashback) Suzaku**
Once you experience pain,
hurting others becomes difficult.
**[06:29] Kirei**
Let's tackle the practical
exam with our Old Dorm team!
**[06:32] Kirei**
This'll be strategy meeting number one!
**[06:34] Ittoki**
Sorry!
**[06:36] Ittoki**
I won't join you this time.
**[06:37] Kirei**
What? How come?
**[06:39] Ittoki**
I don't want to cause problems for you.
**[06:43] Ittoki**
Well, good luck!
**[06:50] Kousetsu**
This is good. Now the
traitor can't do anything.
**[06:54] Ryoko**
Ittoki.
**[06:55] Ryoko**
It's only a prototype, but it's Saiga village's
latest ninja tool for use in disguise.
**[07:00] Ryoko**
Please take it.
**[07:02] Ryoko**
When paired with a Ninja Suit, it can
disguise your whole body and even your voice.
**[07:07] Ryoko**
Compared to previous models, it
can hold way more disguise data,
**[07:12] Ryoko**
so you can turn into nearly
anyone in the Old Dorm—
**[07:14] Ittoki**
Thanks, but I'm fine.
**[07:16] Ryoko**
Please, take it.
**[07:18] Ryoko**
The Academy hasn't handed out
any ninja tools for disguising,
**[07:21] Ryoko**
so the Koga students won't
expect you to use one.
**[07:24] Ryoko**
It's sure to come in handy.
**[07:26] Ittoki**
If they were to find out I'm using
it, it'd put a target on all of you.
**[07:32] Ryoko**
You're always concerned
about other people, Ittoki.
**[07:37] Ryoko**
Ittoki, I'm concerned about you.
**[07:43] Ittoki**
Why'd you just waltz in here?
**[07:45] Kousetsu**
In the practical exam, we'll attack.
**[07:48] Ittoki**
What in the world are you talking about?
**[07:50] Kousetsu**
I'll take down Suzaku.
**[07:51] Ittoki**
Excuse me?
**[07:52] Kousetsu**
His intent to kill is real.
**[07:54] Kousetsu**
If you fight him, you'll be killed for sure.
**[07:59] Ittoki**
So I'll strike first and defeat him.
**[08:01] Kousetsu**
You find a way to take care
of the other Koga ninjas.
**[08:05] Ittoki**
No.
**[08:06] Kousetsu**
Yumika has ordered me to protect you.
**[08:09] Ittoki**
That doesn't matter!
**[08:11] Ittoki**
You might be k-killed too!
**[08:15] Kousetsu**
That's always a possibility.
**[08:18] Ittoki**
Not the point! What, so you're
willing to die for someone like me?
**[08:22] Kousetsu**
That's life as a ninja.
**[08:25] Ittoki**
What the hell?!
**[08:26] Ittoki**
Kill, be killed...
It's all totally messed up!
**[08:30] Kousetsu**
That's life as a ninja.
**[08:34] Ittoki**
Don't follow me!

I'm alive.
**[09:04] Reiha**
How is the young master doing?
**[09:06] Yumika**
He seems to be safe.
**[09:09] Reiha**
I'm glad.
**[09:11] Yumika**
Is the Ninja Academy a fun place?
**[09:14] Yumika**
I've never been, so...
**[09:17] Yumika**
I never heard much about it from
my husband, Hidetoki, either.
**[09:21] Reiha**
Are you worried about him?
**[09:24] Yumika**
I was just thinking about how he must resent me.
**[09:30] Juzen**
Staying up late, young man?
**[09:34] Ittoki**
I'm sorry. I'll go back to my dorm soon.
**[09:37] Juzen**
Come with me for a bit.
**[09:44] Juzen**
Sorry to make you humor an old man.
**[09:48] Ittoki**
No, it's nice. Thank you.
**[09:53] Juzen**
Too hot?
**[09:55] Ittoki**
No...
**[09:57] Ittoki**
It's just... Are ninjas killers?
**[10:01] Juzen**
The Three Ninja Principles are, "Do not be
discovered. Do not kill. Do not betray."
**[10:06] Ittoki**
I was told my father died
because he was a ninja.
**[10:11] Ittoki**
I was told that Iga killed Koga's chief,
**[10:14] Ittoki**
and because of that, they want to kill me.
**[10:17] Ittoki**
Is that what being a ninja means?
**[10:22] Juzen**
A peaceful world with no
war, crime, or killing...
**[10:27] Juzen**
That's a fairy tale.
**[10:29] Juzen**
But it's too precious a thing to give up on.
**[10:33] Juzen**
That's why ninjas have shouldered
the dirty work in the shadows.
**[10:38] Juzen**
To protect the fairy tale we call peace.
**[10:42] Juzen**
You're not the first kid to ask me
that sort of question, you know.
**[10:47] Juzen**
Kishinmaru Minobe did, too.
**[10:50] Juzen**
And also Hidetoki Sakuraba.
**[10:53] Juzen**
Your father.
**[10:55] Juzen**
After hearing what I said, they
both gave the same response.
**[11:01] Juzen**
"That's not what I want to be."
**[11:13] Ittoki**
Thanks for the tea.
**[11:24] Ittoki**
You're here, aren't you, Kousetsu?
**[11:28] Ittoki**
What do you want me to do?
**[11:31] Kousetsu**
The exam tasks you with taking
a Ninja Core from someone.
**[11:35] Kousetsu**
Take my core from me.
**[11:37] Ittoki**
Ha ha. Very funny.
**[11:39] Kousetsu**
Huh?
**[11:42] Ittoki**
Damn.
**[11:43] Kousetsu**
Stale. Crude.
**[11:45] Ittoki**
Shut up!
**[11:46] Kousetsu**
Still, using a surprise
attack was very ninja-like.
**[11:52] Kousetsu**
Fighting head-on is reckless.
**[11:55] Kousetsu**
There's only one way to survive.
**[12:00] Ittoki**
* Lie in wait, and take the*
* opponent by surprise!*
**[12:07] Ittoki**
*If I fail, run immediately.*
**[12:10] Ittoki**
*Run! Run! Run!*
**[12:15] Kousetsu**
I'll strike Suzaku immediately.
**[12:17] Kousetsu**
You lie in wait and grab someone's Ninja
Core, then stay hidden until the exam ends.
**[12:24] Kousetsu**
Let's make this your first ambush point.
**[12:26] Ittoki**
Got it.
**[12:32] Kousetsu**
Back to training.
**[12:33] Ittoki**
What? Hold on!
**[12:44] Suzaku**
This will let us take Ittoki
Sakuraba down for sure.
**[12:49] Himura**
Are you serious, Suzaku?
**[12:55] Himura**
You think we'll go along
with a plan like this?
**[12:58] Koga Students**
Yeah!
**[12:58] Koga Students**
It's nuts!
**[12:59] Koga Students**
He's crazy!
**[13:02] Suzaku**
If you don't like it,
**[13:04] Suzaku**
then prove you're superior to me.
**[13:07] Suzaku**
We're doing all of this for Koga.
**[13:11] Himura**
I'll do it! Ain't no room
for cowards in Koga!
**[13:19] Suzaku**
Offer your lives for the
late Chief Kishinmaru!
**[13:29] Mitsuhashi**
We will now conduct the
end-of-term practical exam!
**[13:33] Mitsuhashi**
You pass if you obtain another student's
Ninja Core within the time period.
**[13:38] Mitsuhashi**
If you lose your Ninja Core, you fail.
**[13:42] Mitsuhashi**
Additionally, use of ninja tools
to injure or kill is prohibited.
**[13:47] Mitsuhashi**
Now, begin!
**[13:53] Ittoki**
Kousetsu!
**[13:54] Ittoki**
If things go wrong, run.
**[13:56] Kousetsu**
They won't.
**[14:05] Himura**
As planned, Vajra and Kundali
head to point Fifth Hot Hell.
**[14:17] Koga Students**
Vajra and Kundali, at point Fifth Hot Hell.
**[14:20] Koga Students**
Storming in!
**[14:34] Kousetsu**
That whittles their numbers down
quite a bit. Good work...
**[14:37] Kousetsu**
*Traitor.*
**[14:39] Kusunoki**
What?
**[14:40] Kusunoki**
H-How?
**[14:42] Ittoki**
We threw that map away on purpose.
**[14:50] Kousetsu**
What're you doing?
**[14:51] Kousetsu**
*Hurry! Take his Ninja Core and hide!*
**[14:54] Ittoki**
I know.
**[14:57] Kusunoki**
I had no choice.
**[15:02] Kusunoki**
They threatened to crush my village
if I didn't do what they said.
**[15:07] Kusunoki**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[15:17] Himura**
What is it?
**[15:18] Kusunoki**
*I found Ittoki.*
**[15:24] Himura**
What happened?
**[15:48] Himura**
Operation complete. I'll handle the rest.
**[15:52] Ittoki**
What?
**[15:54] Ittoki**
No way!
**[16:05] Himura**
It's comical how well Suzaku's plan worked.
**[16:09] Himura**
Suzaku complimented you.
**[16:11] Himura**
He said we couldn't beat you even
if we all took you on together.
**[16:21] Himura**
We won't let you get away, even if it kills us!
**[16:27] Mitsuhashi**
An explosion?
**[16:28] Mitsuhashi**
Contact the medical team!
**[16:59] Suzaku**
This is nothing compared to Koga's pain!
**[17:07] Ittoki**
Run!
**[17:09] Suzaku**
Are you kidding me?!
**[17:17] Ittoki**
*Run!*
**[17:18] Ittoki**
*Run!*
**[17:20] Ittoki**
*Run!*
**[17:22] Suzaku**
I can't believe such sorry ninjas...
**[17:25] Suzaku**
Why Chief Kishinmaru?!
**[17:28] Suzaku**
Why'd you kill him?
**[17:30] Suzaku**
Why did you destroy Chief Kishinmaru's peace?
**[17:34] Suzaku**
Know pain!
**[17:39] Ittoki**
I refuse... to die.
**[17:41] Suzaku**
Accept the punishment for Iga's sin!
**[17:44] Ittoki**
Shut up!
**[17:47] Ittoki**
*You're* the killer here.
**[17:50] Suzaku**
Silence.
**[17:51] Suzaku**
If you don't experience pain, you
people will repeat your same mistake.
**[17:55] Ittoki**
It's people like you that repeat them!
**[17:58] Ittoki**
There's no reason that makes
it okay to kill someone!
**[18:01] Ittoki**
We have to endure the pain.
There's no other choice!
**[18:04] Ittoki**
Otherwise, even more people
get hurt. I won't accept that!
**[18:11] Ittoki**
I refuse... to die!
**[18:15] Suzaku**
So that's...
**[18:16] Suzaku**
your definition of justice?
**[18:24] Ittoki**
Run!
**[18:26] Ittoki**
Run!
**[18:28] Ittoki**
And then...
**[18:40] Suzaku**
You coward!
**[18:43] Suzaku**
Don't run from me, Ittoki Sakuraba!
**[19:01] Ittoki**
I don't like you.
**[19:03] Ittoki**
But...
**[19:05] Ittoki**
I don't want you to become a killer.

Thank you for allowing me to
stay here for the summer.
**[02:05] Kirei**
I'm K-Kirei Kisegawa.
Thanks for letting me stay.
**[02:08] Yumika**
Please, sit up.
**[02:11] Yumika**
Ryoko, I was sorry to hear what happened.
**[02:17] Gantetsu**
They said the machinery
caught fire in the night.
**[02:20] Tokisada**
Or that's how Koga made it look.
**[02:23] Gantetsu**
Either way, it's the end
of the line for Saiga.
**[02:26] Tokisada**
What'll you do?
**[02:27] Gantetsu**
We'll take that job Koga offered.
**[02:30] Gantetsu**
It means in the end we're
their subcontractors.
**[02:33] Gantetsu**
But you know, I won't forget.
**[02:37] Gantetsu**
I'm just worried about Ryoko
**[02:40] Tokisada**
We've wound up having to babysit
the kids over summer break.
**[02:44] Tokisada**
Another one or two won't make a difference.
**[02:48] Gantetsu**
Are you sure?
**[02:49] Tokisada**
Iga welcomes all who come
and pursues none who leave.
**[02:54] Yumika**
Please relax and make yourselves at home.
**[02:57] Ryoko**
I appreciate your hospitality.
**[03:00] Ittoki**
These rooms are yours.
**[03:01] Kirei**
Wow! It's like we're staying
at a ryokan! Awesome!
**[03:04] Ryoko**
Thank you so much for all of this.
**[03:07] Kirei**
Sorry again for just
tagging along with Ryoko.
**[03:11] Ittoki**
Don't sweat it. Your dad's on
a long-term mission, right?
**[03:13] Ittoki**
Plus, now I get to spend
summer break with my friends.
**[03:17] Kirei**
All right! Let's do all everything
there is to do in Iga!
**[03:20] Ittoki**
Yeah! Though there's nothing
but mountains and rivers.
**[03:23] Kousetsu**
Keep your guard up.
**[03:24] Ittoki**
I know. I know.
**[03:25] Tokisada**
Ittoki, it's about time to go.
**[03:27] Ittoki**
Okay!
**[03:29] Ittoki**
Do whatever you'd like to relax.
**[03:30] Kirei**
Oh, where are you going?
**[03:32] Ittoki**
It's the anniversary of my dad's death.
**[03:34] Kirei**
Oh... I see.
**[03:37] Kirei**
In that case, we'll explore
the estate for a while!
**[03:42] Kirei**
So old... I wonder how long it's been here.
**[03:48] Kirei**
Camouflage for the high tech.
***SIGN*** Successfully infiltrated Iga. As expected, estate security is thorough. Don't forget to pay up once I send good intel.
**[04:23] Suzaku**
Dad.
**[04:25] Housen**
What is it?
**[04:27] Suzaku**
I want to be put in the front-line
unit for the mass assault on Iga.
**[04:31] Housen**
Where did you hear that?
**[04:32] Suzaku**
Talk is already going around.
**[04:34] Housen**
Merely a proposal by a small
minority of leadership.
**[04:37] Suzaku**
And what is your position?
**[04:38] Housen**
I heard several Koga students were
injured in an accident during the exam.
**[04:43] Housen**
What do you have to show for such casualties?
**[04:47] Suzaku**
I won't mess up again.
**[04:50] Housen**
You aren't someone who messes up.
**[04:53] Housen**
Didn't you want to protect
Chief Kishinmaru's ideals?
**[04:58] Housen**
A peaceful world with no ninjas.
**[05:00] Housen**
You held back to protect that vision.
**[05:02] Housen**
Am I mistaken?
**[05:05] Suzaku**
You always told me to silence my heart, Dad.
**[05:08] Suzaku**
So I tried to silence my rage toward Iga.
**[05:12] Suzaku**
But because of that, I developed doubts.
**[05:15] Suzaku**
I'm going to listen to my rage.
**[05:27] Shione Kouzuki**
I discovered this while tailing Tokisada.
**[05:30] Shione Kouzuki**
They don't correspond to
any current ninja tools.
**[05:32] Shione Kouzuki**
Koga is trying to create something
new using Kishinmaru's body.
**[05:37] NSC A**
In Koga village, there is talk spreading
of launching a mass attack on Iga.
**[05:41] NSC A**
This may have some connection to that.
**[05:44] Shione Kouzuki**
Captain, may I give my opinion
on this investigation?
**[05:47] Goshogawara**
Go ahead.
**[05:48] Shione Kouzuki**
Is it not Koga that we should be
investigating right now, rather than Iga?
**[05:52] Shione Kouzuki**
We cannot neglect to resolve the past case,
**[05:55] Shione Kouzuki**
but I believe preventing a greater tragedy
to be of greater importance.
**[06:00] Goshogawara**
This all remains speculation.
**[06:02] Shione Kouzuki**
But, sir!
**[06:03] Goshogawara**
Emotions dull your instincts.
**[06:06] Goshogawara**
Refrain from disclosing these
facts to the other divisions.
**[06:10] Shione Kouzuki**
Why?
**[06:11] Goshogawara**
Unconfirmed information only muddies things.
**[06:14] Goshogawara**
You are to continue to
investigate Tokisada Kaga.
**[06:18] Shione Kouzuki**
Yes, sir...
**[06:22] Tokisada**
Should I take us directly to the cemetery?
**[06:24] Yumika**
There's somewhere I'd like to stop by first.
**[06:32] Reiha**
Yumika...
**[06:34] Reiha**
Thank you for coming to visit.
**[06:39] Yumika**
How is he?
**[06:41] Reiha**
I feel like he's smiling a bit today.
**[06:45] Reiha**
This is my husband.
**[06:49] Reiha**
It happened five years ago, on a mission.
**[06:52] Reiha**
He hasn't woken up since.
***SIGN*** Sakuraba Family Grave
**[06:58] Ittoki**
I forgot to tell you, but the
principal mentioned Dad.
**[07:02] Yumika**
He did?
**[07:03] Yumika**
What did he say?
**[07:04] Ittoki**
That if being a ninja only
meant doing dirty work,
**[07:07] Ittoki**
he didn't want to be one.
**[07:09] Yumika**
That does sound like him.
**[07:13] Yumika**
Your father would even accept ninjas
from other villages as part of Iga.
**[07:18] Yumika**
Welcome all who come.
Pursue none who leave.
**[07:21] Yumika**
He was trying to change the
ninja world through that policy.
**[07:24] Ittoki**
Oh...
**[07:26] Yumika**
It's still far from his ideal.
**[07:30] Yumika**
Your father, Hidetoki, died during
a mission with Tokisada.
**[07:35] Yumika**
Even now, Tokisada still
blames himself for that.
**[07:41] Yumika**
And as chief, I too have sent many
people on dangerous missions.
**[07:47] Yumika**
I was also the one who ordered
Reiha's husband on his mission.
**[07:53] Yumika**
When you become a ninja,
**[07:54] Yumika**
there will be times when you must
bear sins that will never be erased.
**[07:58] Yumika**
You must always be prepared for that.

**[10:18] Kirei**
Wait, for real? Me?
**[10:20] Kirei**
Oh my...
**[10:22] Ittoki**
Your swimsuit isn't even visible.
**[10:25] Ittoki**
I mean...
**[10:26] Ittoki**
Sweetfish! Let's catch sweetfish!
**[10:28] Ittoki**
Before night falls, sweetfish!
**[10:31] Ryoko**
I brought some ninja tools that might help.
**[10:33] Ittoki**
Oh! Thanks!
**[10:35] Ryoko**
This is an explosive.
**[10:37] Ryoko**
At this size, it has roughly the power of a grenade!
**[10:39] Ryoko**
It blows up a five-meter radius!
**[10:41] Ryoko**
This is a thousand-needle bomb.
**[10:42] Ryoko**
It explodes like a cluster bomb
and shoots a thousand needles.
**[10:46] Ittoki**
Won't those blow the sweetfish to bits?
**[10:49] Ryoko**
That's a good point.
**[10:54] Ittoki**
Kousetsu?
**[11:01] Ittoki**
Wow.
**[11:03] Kirei**
She's like a bear.
**[11:04] Kousetsu**
Labor.
**[11:06] Kirei**
All right! Let's see who catches the most!
Who'll reign supreme at sweetfish fishing?
**[11:21] Kirei**
There!
**[11:24] Kirei**
Got one!
**[11:25] Kirei**
Gotcha!
**[11:27] Kirei**
Hey, they're biting every cast!
**[11:29] Ittoki**
You're good at this, Kirei.
Is there a trick you use?
**[11:32] Kirei**
Hmm, I might just be suited
to this style of fishing.
**[11:37] Kirei**
You take a decoy sweetfish and throw
it into another sweetfish's territory.
**[11:41] Kirei**
When the sweetfish comes to
chase it out, you hook it.
**[11:46] Kirei**
All sweetfish hate the decoy.
**[11:50] Kirei**
It's like I'm describing myself...
**[11:53] Ittoki**
Why do you say that?
**[11:56] Kotarou Fuma**
*Put on an act.*
**[11:59] Kirei**
You see, I don't have a village.
My parents are freelance ninjas.
**[12:05] Ittoki**
I didn't know those existed.
**[12:07] Kirei**
Freelancers are in a weak position, so
they have to rely on larger villages.
**[12:12] Kirei**
But they don't get to stay long.
**[12:14] Kirei**
It's like they're getting
chased out of the territory.
**[12:18] Kotarou Fuma**
*Never drop the act.*
**[12:25] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
Never trust people.
**[12:27] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
Our ancestors were slaughtered
because they trusted others.
**[12:32] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
Respond!
**[12:34] (Flashback) Kirei**
Y-Yes, sir.
**[12:38] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
Where did you get this?
**[12:41] (Flashback) Kirei**
F-From a friend.
**[12:43] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
Through trickery?
**[12:45] (Flashback) Kirei**
No. It was...
**[12:48] (Flashback) Kirei**
a gift.
**[12:50] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
Foolish.
**[12:54] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
People are merely food.
**[12:56] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
Growing attached to your
food will just hold you back.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
Deceive.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
Never drop the act.
**[13:04] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
Lies alone will protect the Fuma.
**[13:07] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
You will succeed as leader of
Fuma without anyone realizing it.
**[13:12] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
Live only for that purpose.
**[13:16] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
Do it.
**[13:26] Ittoki**
All this time, I've been
meaning to thank you, Kirei.
**[13:29] Kirei**
Oh? What for?
**[13:31] Ittoki**
It was never my plan to become a ninja.
**[13:34] Ittoki**
I didn't even know ninjas
existed in the first place.
**[13:37] Kirei**
Huh? Even though you're the next chief?
**[13:39] Ittoki**
Yeah. So when I started
ninja school, I was anxious.
**[13:43] Ittoki**
But you came over. You helped me.
**[13:47] Ittoki**
You made everything okay.
**[13:49] Ittoki**
You aren't a decoy sweetfish.
**[13:52] Ittoki**
You're a kind person who will extend
a helping hand to someone who's alone.
**[14:03] Kozo**
Wow. Thank you very much.
**[14:06] Ittoki**
What are you going to do with so many fish?
**[14:08] Reiha**
Today the ninjas of the village gather
to remember the previous chief.
**[14:13] Ittoki**
What? Then you've been doing it every year?
**[14:16] Ittoki**
I didn't know.
**[14:18] Reiha**
Before now, we'd been hiding everything
involving ninjas from you.
**[14:22] Kozo**
Oh, I'm so moved that the day has
come when we can do this together.
**[14:27] Kozo**
I have just one more task for the two of you.
**[14:30] Ittoki**
Okay.
**[14:32] Ryoko**
Is there anything we can do to help, too?
**[14:35] Kozo**
No, no. You're our guests.
**[14:38] Kirei**
Those who don't work don't eat!
**[14:40] Reiha**
Then let's head to the kitchen.
**[14:56] Tokisada**
Mmm. This is pretty good.
**[14:58] Ittoki**
Uncle, you've been avoiding
work this whole time.
**[15:01] Tokisada**
I just worked. I checked for poison.
**[15:03] Ittoki**
Everyone else is working so hard.
**[15:07] Ittoki**
They're good people,
**[15:09] Ittoki**
to go to this much trouble.
**[15:12] Tokisada**
This is all for Yumika.
**[15:15] Ittoki**
What?
**[15:15] Tokisada**
After the previous chief passed,
**[15:17] Tokisada**
this organically started as
a way to cheer Yumika up.
**[15:21] Tokisada**
Now it's grown into this huge event.
**[15:25] Tokisada**
Take Kousetsu.
**[15:27] Tokisada**
You know how she has no family.
**[15:30] Ittoki**
Yeah.
**[15:31] Tokisada**
She was abandoned.
**[15:33] Ittoki**
What?
**[15:34] Tokisada**
But Yumika took her in and raised her.
**[15:37] Tokisada**
Because of that, she would
do anything for Yumika.
**[15:40] Tokisada**
Most of these people are
indebted to Yumika like that.
**[15:43] Tokisada**
That, or they just like her.
**[15:47] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[15:53] Tokisada**
Hup.
**[15:54] Tokisada**
Want one?
**[15:56] Shione Kouzuki**
Am I that bad at this?
**[15:59] Tokisada**
From my perspective, most people are.
**[16:02] Shione Kouzuki**
Did your people really kill Chief Kishinmaru?
**[16:07] Tokisada**
What kind of investigator just
comes out and asks that?
**[16:16] Shione Kouzuki**
It's darn good.
**[16:20] Yumika**
Everyone, let's enjoy ourselves
**[16:22] Yumika**
knowing that the previous chief,
Hidetoki Sakuraba, is here with us.
**[16:27] Everyone**
I'm grateful for this food!
**[16:34] Tokisada**
Now it's time for me to sing!
**[16:36] Kozo**
Somebody take his booze away!
**[16:39] Tokisada**
I know you wanna hear the sound of my soul!
**[16:42] Ryoko**
Go for it!
**[16:43] Ryoko**
Whoo-hoo!
**[16:44] Ittoki**
This is kinda unbelievable...
**[16:46] Chikamatsu**
We're ignoring hierarchy and
formalities tonight, so excuse him.
**[16:50] Shiota**
Everyone is happy that we were
able to reach this point.
**[16:54] Shiota**
When the previous chief passed,
Iga nearly broke apart.
**[16:54] Tokisada**
...where we walked beneath the sun!
**[16:59] Shiota**
It was Yumika that brought
us all back together.
**[17:04] (Flashback) Tokisada**
Out of the way.
**[17:08] (Flashback) Reiha**
Kozo!
**[17:09] (Flashback) Tokisada**
The chief was killed!
**[17:11] (Flashback) Kozo**
That was an accident!
**[17:12] (Flashback) Tokisada**
It wasn't!
**[17:14] (Flashback) Tokisada**
I saw it.
**[17:15] (Flashback) Tokisada**
I'll kill them all!
**[17:16] (Flashback) Kozo**
Will nothing but death cure your stupidity?!
**[17:18] (Flashback) Chikamatsu**
But Kozo, if we don't do anything,
what example will Iga be setting?
**[17:23] (Flashback) Kozo**
You too? Do you hear yourself?
**[17:25] (Flashback) Chikamatsu**
Now that our chief is dead, other
villages will try to take advantage.
**[17:27] (Flashback) Chikamatsu**
That is the very reason we need
to demonstrate Iga's strength!
**[17:31] (Flashback) Shiota**
Are you crazy? That could spark a war!
**[17:33] (Flashback) Yokogawa**
We should just expel him
from the village already.
**[17:36] (Flashback) Yokogawa**
His only talent is killing!
**[17:39] (Flashback) Yokogawa**
We should have driven him out sooner!
**[17:41] (Flashback) Tokisada**
Don't get in my way.
**[17:43] (Flashback) Reiha**
This is no time for infighting!
**[17:45] (Flashback) Reiha**
The next chief hasn't even been decided yet!
**[17:48] (Flashback) Tokisada**
No one can take his place!
**[17:49] (Flashback) Kozo**
So a demi-god can't change his nature.
**[17:52] (Flashback) Kozo**
You were drunk on your power,
but the chief protected you!
**[17:56] (Flashback) Kozo**
You as good as killed him!
**[17:58] (Flashback) Yumika**
Please stop this.
**[18:01] (Flashback) Yokogawa**
You're a god of pestilence.
**[18:03] (Flashback) Shiota**
Block the exits! Don't let him leave!
**[18:05] (Flashback) Yumika**
Stop this.
**[18:07] (Flashback) Chikamatsu**
Just let him go! It's better
than having deaths in Iga!
**[18:10] (Flashback) Reiha**
Stop! Put down your weapons!
**[18:12] (Flashback) Kozo**
Tokisada!
**[18:13] (Flashback) Yumika**
That is more than enough!
**[18:16] (Flashback) Reiha**
This is dangerous, Yumika!
**[18:17] (Flashback) Chikamatsu**
You aren't a ninja! Stay back!
**[18:29] (Flashback) Yumika**
When they lose what they
protect, people lose their way.
**[18:34] (Flashback) Yumika**
What you need is not revenge,
**[18:38] (Flashback) Yumika**
but to remember what you should protect.
**[18:42] (Flashback) Yumika**
He loved the village of Iga.
**[18:46] (Flashback) Yumika**
In order to bring happiness to
Iga and calm to the ninja world,
**[18:50] (Flashback) Yumika**
he gave everything.
**[18:52] (Flashback) Yumika**
Yet look at yourselves. Do you feel no shame?
**[18:55] (Flashback) Yumika**
Did the man you called "chief" die
**[18:57] (Flashback) Yumika**
to protect idiots who would turn
their blades on each other?
**[19:02] (Flashback) Yumika**
The thing we can do is endure,
**[19:04] (Flashback) Yumika**
and carry on Hidetoki's will.
That's all there is.
**[19:10] Tokisada**
That's what they call—
**[19:11] Kozo**
Give it a rest!
**[19:14] Background character**
Well done!
**[19:17] Yokogawa**
It's because of Yumika that we
can smile together like this.
**[19:26] Ittoki**
Um, Chief.
**[19:28] Yumika**
We aren't observing formalities right now.
**[19:31] Ittoki**
You wanted to protect the
village, didn't you, Mom?
**[19:37] Ittoki**
I still need to strengthen my resolve,
**[19:40] Ittoki**
but I see that Iga village is a good place.
**[19:46] Yumika**
Ittoki, there's something
I need to discuss with you.
**[19:55] Kirei**
I'll be back.
**[19:57] Kozo**
Please, tell me... what is the
young master's life at school like?
**[20:02] Kozo**
You know how Kousetsu is. I can't ask her.
**[20:06] Ryoko**
Ittoki is a wonderful person.
**[20:08] Kirei**
Yup, he helped me right
after transferring in.
**[20:12] Kozo**
Is that so...
**[20:13] Kirei**
Um, I... a bear! I wanted
to hunt a bear, so...
**[20:17] Ryoko**
A bear?
**[20:18] Kozo**
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
**[20:21] Kozo**
To be honest, I was worried.
**[20:24] Kozo**
He had to give up his old life
and part with his friends...
**[20:26] Kozo**
I'm sure he must have felt quite lost.
**[20:29] Kozo**
He's had so much placed on his shoulders just
because he was born the son of the Iga Chief.
**[20:35] (Flashback) Kotarou Fuma**
Carry out your destiny as one
born into the Fuma village.
**[20:39] Kozo**
That's why it gives me such peace of mind
to see the Young Master smiling again.
**[20:43] Kozo**
I'm grateful to you.
**[20:45] Ryoko**
I didn't do anything.
**[20:48] Kozo**
The young master told me.
**[20:50] Kozo**
Because of you two, he can
enjoy life at the Academy.
**[20:54] Kozo**
He considers you dear friends.

**[22:49] Shione Kouzuki**
Yes, 2nd Division Captain Karajishi.
Do you need something?
**[22:53] Karajishi**
Could you tell me where Goshogawara is?
**[22:55] Shione Kouzuki**
I was told he's on a solo mission today.
**[22:59] Karajishi**
Have you ever found his actions suspicious?
**[23:02] Shione Kouzuki**
What?
**[23:04] Karajishi**
Forget I said anything.
**[23:09] Juzen**
Is there no other option?
**[23:11] Goshogawara**
No. The situation is now
highly unpredictable.
**[23:15] Goshogawara**
I'd like the Academy to be fully sealed off.
**[23:20] Goshogawara**
I will call together all ninjas
and convene a Ninja Grand Council.

**[00:01] Yumika**
Ittoki, I'm going to tell you
about Iga's secret Ninja Core.
**[00:05] Ittoki**
A... secret Ninja Core?
**[00:08] Yumika**
It was sealed away because
its power was too great,
**[00:11] Yumika**
and its location has been
passed down only to chiefs.
**[00:15] Yumika**
It is a weapon.
**[00:20] Yumika**
This is the registry of Iga ninjas.
**[00:24] Yumika**
Once your name is recorded here,
you will be a true Iga ninja.
**[00:29] Yumika**
Are you prepared to make that commitment?
**[02:07] Kirei**
What, are you that upset school is starting?
**[02:10] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[02:11] Ittoki**
No, it's just...
**[02:13] Ryoko**
This was a really fun
summer break, wasn't it?
**[02:16] Ittoki**
Hey, um...
**[02:18] Ittoki**
Once you graduate, does that
mean you're a full-fledged ninja?
**[02:21] Kirei**
What do you mean?
**[02:23] Ittoki**
I mean, um... I'm wondering when
you start feeling like you're a ninja.
**[02:29] Ryoko**
Good question...
**[02:32] Kousetsu**
You just do one day.
**[02:33] Ittoki; Ryoko; and Kirei**
Huh?
**[02:34] Kousetsu**
Before you know it, you do.
Everything works like that.
**[02:37] Ittoki**
Is that how it works...
**[02:42] Kozo**
Young Master! Emergency!
**[02:44] Kozo**
The Academy is closing temporarily.
**[02:46] Ittoki**
Huh? That's sudden. Why?
**[02:48] Kozo**
They say it's due to large
numbers of absences.
**[02:51] Kozo**
But most likely that's an excuse.
**[02:52] Kozo**
Everyone come with me for a moment.

Would you like some champagne?
**[03:32] Amadeus**
Sorry. I have business to attend to.
I'll get off here.
**[03:35] Amadeus**
Pray for my safe travels.
**[03:37] Flight Attendant**
Very well, sir.
**[03:40] Kozo**
We Iga ninjas hold a seat
on the high council.
**[03:45] Kirei**
I'd never heard of a Ninja Grand Council.
**[03:47] Ryoko**
It has a stiff and formal sound to it.
**[03:50] Ittoki**
So... it's as big a deal as it sounds?
**[03:52] Kozo**
I was told that in the last Council,
**[03:54] Kozo**
an armistice was signed to suspend
the state of war between the villages.
**[04:00] Enbi**
Blasted shadow hunters...
**[04:02] Enbi**

**[04:04] Kidou**
No need to hesitate.
**[04:06] Kidou**
Proceed with your work undaunted.
**[04:11] Kidou**
Come, Housen.
**[04:13] Housen**
Yes, sir.
**[04:15] Goshogawara**
With the holding of a Ninja Grand
Council come special precautions.
**[04:19] Goshogawara**
Though they normally abide
by the non-aggression pact,
**[04:22] Goshogawara**
village leaders will be
gathered in one place.
**[04:25] Goshogawara**
You must employ strict vigilance.
**[04:27] Goshogawara**
Dismissed.
**[04:29] Shione Kouzuki**
Captain!
**[04:30] Shione Kouzuki**
Why did you not inform us?
**[04:34] Goshogawara**
Because I judged it not to be necessary.
**[04:36] Shione Kouzuki**
Not even the agenda for the Council?
**[04:39] Goshogawara**
I intend to assign the security
of the meeting room to the 1st Division.
**[04:42] Goshogawara**
It will become clear then.
**[04:45] Shione Kouzuki**
I keep being led around by the nose.
**[04:49] Shione Kouzuki**
I joined the NSC out of
a desire to do what's right.
**[04:53] Shione Kouzuki**
But now, I can't even tell
what the right thing is.
**[04:57] Shione Kouzuki**
And so I'd at least like to
understand the mission I'm on.
**[05:01] Goshogawara**
What makes something "right"?
**[05:03] Shione Kouzuki**
What?
**[05:06] Goshogawara**
Until you can answer that,
just focus on the task before you.
**[05:15] Yumika**
Take care of things while I'm away.
**[05:17] Reiha**
Yes, ma'am.
**[05:19] Ittoki**
Um...
**[05:21] Ittoki**
Should I, as heir, be going as well?
**[05:24] Yumika**
A kid's job is to study.
**[05:26] Yumika**
Don't neglect your studies just
because your summer break is longer.
**[05:30] Ittoki**
Okay.
**[05:34] Yumika**
I'll be back later.
**[05:37] Ittoki**
Have a safe trip.

**[06:21] Kozo**
Gantetsu Suzunone of Saiga
village should back us up.
**[06:25] Kozo**
And also Tamayo Katori of Bizen.
**[06:27] Yumika**
Tamayo... I haven't seen her in a while.
**[06:31] Kozo**
You're the only one who's ever won
that stubborn old woman over, ma'am.
**[06:35] Yumika**
Take care not to let any comments
like that slip during the Council, please.
**[06:40] Kozo**
Pardon me, ma'am.

noble Iga ninjas for you.
***SIGN*** Kuroudo Dazai of "Kurohabaki," Mutsu
**[07:06] Yumika**
Excuse our tardiness.
**[07:08] Kozo**
If you hadn't gone the wrong way...
**[07:10] Enya**
Oh, Tokisada the Demi-god!
**[07:12] Enya**
Remember me? We fought to kill
each other several years ago.
***SIGN*** Enya of "Uesugi Tradition," Dewa
**[07:16] Tokisada**
Huh...
**[07:17] Enya**
I'd heard you'd lost your
fangs. I see it's true.
**[07:21] Enya**
Same for you.
**[07:22] Juzen**
Fighting has never been my strong suit.
Aren't you mistaking me for him?
***SIGN*** Juzen Jiraibou of
"Ichizen Tradition," Owari
***SIGN*** Musou Benkei of "Shadow Taisha," Ureshino
**[07:30] Enya**
I hate types like him.
**[07:32] Enya**
I hate stiff meetings even more!
**[07:35] Yachiyo**
Pipe down, pipsqueak.
**[07:37] Enya**
What's that?
**[07:38] Yachiyo**
Oh, you're sensitive about it.
***SIGN*** Yachiyo Mochizuki of "Takeda Tradition Wandering
Priestesses / Covert Agents," Kai
**[07:41] Yachiyo**
Forgive my rudeness.
**[07:42] Enya**
You wanna die, cosplay hag?
**[07:45] Yachiyo**
I wouldn't mind settling
Kawanakajima here and now.
**[07:49] Goshogawara**
Be quiet.
**[07:51] Goshogawara**
This meeting is for discussion.
There is no need for violence.
**[07:55] Iboro**
He's right, Ms. Yachiyo.
Why dishevel your lovely outfit?
***SIGN*** Iboro of "Hachiya Troupe," Izumo
**[08:00] Yachiyo**
Your smirking face is as irritating as ever.
**[08:03] Mandara 1**
Irritating.
***SIGN*** Mandara Samuragouchi of
"Mukyokuryoujou Tradition," Suruga
**[08:05] Mandara 2**
Irritating indeed.
**[08:09] Amadeus**
The players are all present.
Let's start the show.
***SIGN*** Amadeus Yoshinaka Nishina of
"Togakure Tradition," Shinano
**[08:13] NSC A**
Be prepared to act at any moment.
**[08:15] NSC B; C and Shione**
Right.
**[08:16] Goshogawara**
*With everyone here,*
**[08:18] Goshogawara**
I shall now begin the Ninja Grand Council.
**[08:21] Kozo**
Hold on a moment. I don't see
anyone from Saiga village.
**[08:25] Housen**
Saiga is now under Koga's umbrella.
**[08:27] Everyone (?)**
What?
**[08:29] Housen**
Saiga's workshop officially
became our subsidiary.
**[08:32] Housen**
This is the result of a mutual agreement.
**[08:34] Housen**
Thus, Saiga withdraws from participating,
**[08:36] Housen**
saying it will follow Koga in all decisions.
**[08:40] Kozo**
Something is amiss.
Tamayo isn't here from Bizen either.
***SIGN*** Samon Katori of "Bizen Tradition," Bizen
**[08:46] Housen**
The Fuma are now under our umbrella as well.
**[08:50] Ninokuru**
The chief cannot attend,
so I am here as a proxy.
***SIGN*** Kisuke Ninokuru "Houjou Tradition Fuma Clan," Sagami
**[08:55] Yachiyo**
Please, *you're* the chief.
Fuma's done this charade for 500 years.
**[08:59] Iboro**
Well, it's understandable you'd be wary.
**[09:02] Amadeus**
It's the first Grand Council in 70 years.
It would come as quite the surprise.
**[09:07] Goshogawara**
I'll get straight to the point.
**[09:08] Goshogawara**
*The Ninja Ordinances have been broken,*
**[09:11] Goshogawara**
* and the balance we have protected over*
* all these years is being threatened.*
**[09:15] Goshogawara**
By Koga village.
**[09:22] Dazai**
You mean the little thing
between Iga and Koga?
**[09:25] Dazai**
That's a minor—
**[09:26] Goshogawara**
On the contrary.
**[09:27] Goshogawara**
I believe Koga's actions extend
to the entire country.
**[09:31] Housen**
Based on what?
**[09:33] Goshogawara**
You stated earlier that Saiga
became a subsidiary.
**[09:36] Goshogawara**
Where, precisely, are they working?
**[09:39] Housen**
A Koga Ninja Tool factory.
**[09:41] Goshogawara**
There is no record of Saiga working
**[09:43] Goshogawara**
at any of Koga Holdings'
officially registered facilities.
**[09:48] Goshogawara**
Instead, most of the members of Saiga
seem to have suddenly vanished.
**[09:54] Goshogawara**
It does not end there.
**[09:56] Goshogawara**
There have been frequent cases
**[09:57] Goshogawara**
where small-scale villages
are never heard from again.
**[10:01] Goshogawara**
And at the Ninja Academy, I hear voluntary
withdrawals far exceed normal numbers.
**[10:05] Juzen**
That is correct.
**[10:10] NSC A**
So the captain was investigating Koga
for acts of aggression...
**[10:14] Shione Kouzuki**
But why did he hide it from us
and investigate alone?
**[10:18] NSC C**
It must be because Koga's influence
reaches everywhere, including the NSC.
**[10:23] Amadeus**
*I see. If true, that* is *a problem.*
**[10:26] Togakure (still Amadeus?)**
What does Koga have to say about this?
**[10:28] Kidou**
Only that it is entirely groundless.
**[10:30] Enya**
Guess we're done now.
**[10:33] Goshogawara**
Then let me hear
from everyone gathered here.
**[10:36] Goshogawara**
If Koga has acted against your village,
I'd like you to testify here and now.
**[10:42] Goshogawara**
For Ninja Ordinances violations,
affected party testimony holds great weight.
**[10:47] Goshogawara**
Depending on the testimony, Koga's chief
may even be arrested on the spot.
**[10:53] Shione Kouzuki**
So *this* was the purpose
of the Grand Council.
**[10:55] NSC B**
Koga is powerful.
**[10:56] NSC B**
Arresting them will prove difficult,
**[10:58] NSC B**
but with the council on our side,
if we surround them and cut off escape...
**[11:02] Enya**
*Nothing to say here.*
**[11:04] Enya**
I can't say the relationship is that close,
but I don't recall any problems either.
**[11:09] Dazai**
Me neither. To begin with, Kurohabaki
has long had deep ties to Koga.
**[11:15] Goshogawara**
Chief of Togakure.
**[11:16] Amadeus**
These days my battleground
extends outside Japan, so no.
**[11:20] Iboro**
For me, my concern lies much more
with my fans than my village.
**[11:24] Amadeus**
Exactly! We're attempting to turn
ninjas into a global business.
**[11:30] Goshogawara**
Chief of Bizen.
**[11:31] Samon**
Uh, I...
**[11:37] Samon**
have nothing to report.
**[11:50] Dazai**
What the hell?
**[11:52] Dazai**
We convene a damn Grand Council,
and it's all, "There have been no problems"?
**[11:56] Amadeus**
This is rude of me to say,
**[11:59] Amadeus**
but aren't Koga and Iga in a sense
both guilty aggressors?
**[12:01] Enya**
Just how did they kill the mighty
Kishinmaru? I'd love to hear it.
**[12:08] Kidou**
*Captain Goshogawara, it is as you've heard.*
**[12:12] Kidou**
It appears you were worried over nothing.
**[12:16] Yumika**
I do believe I have yet to give *my* answer.
**[12:19] Kidou**
Watch what you say.
**[12:22] Kidou**
It's somewhat hard to listen calmly
to the words of a filthy chief killer.
**[12:28] Yumika**
Regarding that, I say only
that it is entirely groundless.
**[12:32] Yumika**
I ordered no such operation,
**[12:35] Yumika**
nor is there anyone in Iga
who would do such a thing.
**[12:39] Yumika**
It is a false allegation
you leveled against us.
**[12:42] Yumika**
We investigated Koga and obtained evidence
**[12:46] Yumika**
that they're developing a new Ninja
Tool... or should I say "weapon."
**[12:50] Yumika**
Furthermore, we have information that
they're targeting Iga's secret Ninja Core.
**[12:55] Yachiyo**
Ohh, so that's real.
**[12:58] Yumika**
Koga is attempting to use false
vengeance as a pretext to invade Iga
**[13:02] Yumika**
and expand its power.
**[13:05] Yumika**
In response to this, Iga is prepared
**[13:08] Yumika**
to destroy its secret Ninja Core.
**[13:13] Dazai**
Are you sure? Isn't it a valuable deterrent?
**[13:16] Yumika**
We passed it down over generations
to pay respect to our ancestors' greatness.
**[13:21] Yumika**
The secret Ninja Core was sealed away to
avoid great bloodshed, in the first place.
**[13:27] Yumika**
If it stands to ignite
a conflict in the present,
**[13:30] Yumika**
then to bury it forever would also
be following our ancestors' wishes.
**[13:35] Ninokuru**
You think you can fool us
with hackneyed pretty words?
**[13:38] Ninokuru**
Steal, scheme, kill, sneak.
**[13:40] Ninokuru**
That is a shinobi's true desire.
**[13:45] Yumika**
That is the way of the past.
**[13:47] Yumika**
We are not in the ninja glory days
of the Warring States period.
**[13:50] Yumika**
What is needed of us now is
not military might and scheming,
**[13:54] Yumika**
but for us to protect the people's
harmony. Is that not so?
**[13:58] Yumika**
Iga will let all that has happened
be water under the bridge.
**[14:02] Yumika**
In exchange, we ask one thing.
**[14:05] Yumika**
Do not take anything else from us!
**[14:13] Samon**
I testify that Bizen
**[14:15] Samon**
has experienced Koga aggression!
**[14:17] Samon**
The Kusunoki house has
already been scattered.
**[14:20] Samon**
And the branch families' small
villages have fallen as well.
**[14:24] Samon**
We no longer have the power to fight back!
**[14:28] Samon**
I'm sorry I couldn't speak up immediately.
**[14:31] Samon**
Grandmother was pained
by the village's steady collapse,
**[14:34] Samon**
and she took her own life.
**[14:37] Samon**
Seeing all of that happen, I...
**[14:42] Yumika**
Thank you for your courage.
**[14:46] Iboro**
What would you say a show needs?
**[14:51] Iboro**
It's love and peace.
**[14:54] Iboro**
The Hachiya make their
living through entertainment.
**[14:57] Iboro**
But it's a fickle industry.
**[14:59] Iboro**
That unreliability and fragility
was used against us.
**[15:01] Iboro**
And now I alone am supporting
the entire village.
**[15:06] Iboro**
It's all because of Koga.
**[15:09] Amadeus**
Iboro...
**[15:11] Yachiyo**
It would appear none of us are unaffected.
**[15:21] Enya**
Dazai...
**[15:23] Dazai**
When you get old,
**[15:25] Dazai**
you find things that are more important
than favors and indebtedness.
**[15:28] Amadeus**
Then I take it all of you are testifying?
**[15:32] Amadeus**
I have my own piece to add as well.
**[15:34] Amadeus**
You got a little too naughty, Kidou.
**[15:37] Goshogawara**
A village's chief must take responsibility
for the crimes of the village.
**[15:42] Goshogawara**
I arrest you on suspicion
of violating the Ninja Ordinances.
**[15:48] Kidou**
I will go willingly.
**[15:51] Shione Kouzuki**
Thank goodness.
**[15:53] Housen**
Captain Goshogawara, has Chief
Kishinmaru's killer still not been found?
**[15:58] Goshogawara**
The matter is currently under investigation.
**[16:00] Housen**
I pray a just decision is rendered.
**[16:05] Karajishi**
Pardon the interruption.
**[16:07] Karajishi**
I am Genji Karajishi,
Captain of the 2nd Division.
**[16:11] Shione Kouzuki**
Why is Captain Karajishi here?!
**[16:13] Goshogawara**
Is it an emergency?
**[16:14] Karajishi**
Yes. I am here to report that
conclusive evidence has been found
**[16:18] Karajishi**
that Koga Chief Kishinmaru
Minobe was killed by Iga.
**[16:26] Goshogawara**
Proceed.
**[16:27] Karajishi**
Due to the jamming by the culprit,
there was no security footage of the scene.
**[16:33] Karajishi**
Or so the 1st Division concluded.
**[16:37] Karajishi**
After investigating independently,
the 2nd Division
**[16:40] Karajishi**
succeeded in extracting trace
fragments of that data.
**[16:47] Karajishi**
See for yourselves.
**[16:54] Kozo**
You call this blurry video proof?
Don't be ridiculous!
**[16:58] Karajishi**
What's important
isn't the video but the audio.
**[17:01] Kozo**
Audio?
**[17:01] Karajishi**
Each village's Ninja Cores
are custom devices.
**[17:05] Karajishi**
It is known that there are subtle differences
**[17:08] Karajishi**
in the sounds their internal
structures produce.
**[17:11] Karajishi**
This security camera recorded
the audio at the scene.
**[17:15] Karajishi**
Analysis shows the frequencies
and wavelengths emitted
**[17:19] Karajishi**
are a 99.7 match for an Iga Ninja Core.
**[17:23] Kozo**
This is nonsense!
**[17:25] Karajishi**
This conclusion was reached using
the latest in ninja forensic technology.
**[17:30] Karajishi**
It seems like sufficient evidence to me.
**[17:32] Karajishi**
What about you, 1st Division Captain?
**[17:37] Karajishi**
A village's chief bears responsibility
for the village's crimes.
**[17:40] Karajishi**
Will you come with me?
**[17:45] Karajishi**
That won't help your chief.
**[17:48] Yumika**
We have done no wrong.
**[17:51] Yumika**
We need only prove our innocence.
**[17:54] Yumika**
Tokisada! Remember what
you ought to protect.
**[18:00] Yumika**
Tell Ittoki this for me.
**[18:04] Yumika**
"Take care of Iga."
**[18:09] Goshogawara**
The Ninja Grand Council is now concluded.
**[18:21] Ittoki**
They arrested Mom?!
**[18:24] Kozo**
But we are innocent.
**[18:26] Kozo**
There is nothing to worry about.
Keep a level head.
**[18:30] Kirei**
Are you okay?
**[18:31] Ryoko**
Stay calm.
**[18:32] Ittoki**
Yeah.
**[18:34] Kousetsu**
I'll do anything. Tell me how
to rescue Yumika.
**[18:37] Tokisada**
Make no moves right now.
**[18:39] Tokisada**
Ittoki, I have a message
from Yumika—I mean the chief.
**[18:44] Tokisada**
"Take care of Iga."
**[18:51] Ittoki**
Kozo.
**[18:52] Ittoki**
Ms. Reiha.
**[18:53] Reiha**
Yes?
**[18:53] Ittoki**
Uncle.
**[18:54] Ittoki**
I have a request.
**[18:56] Ittoki**
I'd like you to gather
the members of Iga village.
**[18:58] Enbi**
The NSC arrested the acting chief
because of an Iga plot!
**[19:03] Enbi**
This is a declaration of war from Iga!
**[19:06] Enbi**
We will fully mobilize.
Steel your conviction!
**[19:11] Enbi**
We must annihilate the village of Iga!
**[19:17] Goshogawara**
I will have you all handle the interrogations
of Koga's acting chief and Iga's chief.
**[19:22] Shione Kouzuki**
What about you?
**[19:23] Goshogawara**
I have something to investigate.
**[19:24] NSC A**
So you're going it alone again.
**[19:27] Shione Kouzuki**
I will follow your orders.
**[19:28] Shione Kouzuki**
But we cannot help you
if we're always being left out.
**[19:32] Shione Kouzuki**
Captain, please trust us.
**[19:36] Goshogawara**
Then here are my orders.
**[19:38] Goshogawara**
From here on, act according
to your own sense of justice.
***SIGN*** Analysis Room 2
**[19:46] Goshogawara**
Why was he hiding this until now?
**[19:53] Goshogawara**
That's...
**[20:01] Goshogawara**
Karajishi!
**[20:03] Karajishi**
Are you losing your edge?
**[20:05] Karajishi**
This is Koga's latest model.
**[20:08] Karajishi**
To think I managed to sneak up on you.
**[20:10] Karajishi**
Three cheers for scientific advancement.
**[20:13] Goshogawara**
To think you'd sink to this...
**[20:15] Karajishi**
You're one to talk.
**[20:17] Karajishi**
Your favoritism toward Iga is inexcusable.
**[20:19] Karajishi**
They killed Koga's chief, you know.
**[20:22] Goshogawara**
There's something rotten about that video!
**[20:25] Goshogawara**
It can't be accepted as evidence!
**[20:27] Karajishi**
I swear.
**[20:29] Karajishi**
There's just no reasoning with you.
**[20:32] Chikamatsu**
Kozo! Will Yumika really be okay?
**[20:36] Kozo**
No need to worry! She'll be back in no time!
**[20:38] Shiota**
But in the worst-case scenario...
**[20:40] Kozo**
She'll be fine!
**[20:42] Yokogawa**
Even though it's temporary,
it's hard to stay calm without her.
**[20:45] Tokisada**
Oh?
**[20:47] Kozo**
Young Master?
**[20:48] Kirei**
He looks so funny!
**[20:51] Ittoki**
Do I stand here?
**[20:52] Reiha**
Yes. Right there.
**[20:54] Ittoki**
Um...
**[20:56] Ittoki**
Everyone, please be seated.
**[20:58] Ittoki**
I believe you are all aware,
as you know, of the news
**[21:02] Ittoki**
that the chief is absent due to...
myriad circumstances.
**[21:07] Ittoki**
With the chief absent, in accordance
with the Ninja Ordinances,
**[21:11] Ittoki**
we must select an acting chief.

As such...

***SIGN*** EPISODE 8 DUSK
BRINGS A STORM
**[02:51] Karajishi**
Seventy-two hours have passed without
any contact from Goshogawara.
**[02:56] Karajishi**
Accordingly, as of this moment,
**[02:58] Karajishi**
all authority as head of
the NSC passes to me.
**[03:02] Shione Kouzuki**
Hold on!
**[03:03] Shione Kouzuki**
I thought Captain Goshogawara
was on a solo mission!
**[03:06] Karajishi**
The 2nd Division will look
into Goshogawara's whereabouts.
**[03:10] Karajishi**
Also, Kidou Minobe will be
released without indictment
**[03:14] Karajishi**
due to insufficient evidence.
**[03:16] Karajishi**
Regarding Yumika Sakuraba, she has
been determined to be the mastermind
**[03:19] Karajishi**
of the plot to kill Koga's chief.
**[03:22] Karajishi**
In accordance with the Ninja
Ordinances, she will be executed.
**[03:26] Karajishi**
That is all.
**[03:26] Shione Kouzuki**
Please wait!
**[03:28] Karajishi**
Ah, yes. One more thing.
**[03:30] Karajishi**
Ms. Shione Kouzuki.
**[03:31] Karajishi**
I appoint you Captain of the 1st Division.
**[03:37] Karajishi**
Work hard as Goshogawara's successor.
**[03:42] Shione Kouzuki**
Everything about this stinks!
**[03:44] Shione Kouzuki**
The fact that the captain is gone,
Karajishi's command—
**[03:47] Shione Kouzuki**
all of it is fishy!
**[03:49] NSC A**
We know. None of us are satisfied
with what's happening.
**[03:52] Shione Kouzuki**
I believe Karajishi is involved
in the captain's disappearance!
**[03:57] Shione Kouzuki**
The way he treated Iga
and Koga is clearly improper!
**[04:00] Shione Kouzuki**
And with what happened at
the Ninja Grand Council, Karajishi—
**[04:03] NSC B**
Give it a rest!
**[04:04] NSC A**
The NSC must remain absolutely neutral.
**[04:07] NSC A**
Have you forgotten that basic principle?
**[04:10] NSC A**
Right now, *you're* the captain.
**[04:12] NSC A**
The captain can't lose their cool.
**[04:16] Shione Kouzuki**
I'm not fit to be captain.
**[04:18] Shione Kouzuki**
It's obvious—to no one more than me.
**[04:21] Shione Kouzuki**
And the reason he designated
me captain despite that
**[04:24] Shione Kouzuki**
is that it's more convenient for him.
**[04:27] Shione Kouzuki**
Doesn't that mean there's some reason
Karajishi doesn't want us to act?
**[04:32] NSC B**
For now, let's figure out
where Captain Goshogawara is.
**[04:36] NSC B**
We'll start there.
**[04:38] NSC A**
But we've been taken off all investigations.
**[04:41] NSC A**
We'll be violating orders if we take action.
**[04:46] Shione Kouzuki**
The last orders the captain gave us...
**[04:50] Shione Kouzuki**
Remember what he said?
**[04:55] Karajishi**
How do you like the accommodations?
**[04:59] Karajishi**
Come now. Don't glare at me like that.
**[05:02] Karajishi**
I came here today with good news.
**[05:09] Karajishi**
The acting chief of Koga, Kidou Minobe,
has proposed a deal with you.
**[05:16] Karajishi**
I have deemed the proposal to be beneficial
to the NSC and ninjas as a whole,
**[05:22] Karajishi**
so I am considering altering
your death sentenc—
**[05:24] Yumika**
And the offer is that I hand
over the secret Ninja Core?
**[05:29] Karajishi**
It would be sharing technology
for the sake of peace.
**[05:32] Yumika**
I decline the offer.
**[05:33] Kidou**
The secret Ninja Core
is the progenitor of Ninja Cores,
**[05:37] Kidou**
as well as a limitless energy source.
**[05:40] Kidou**
That's right, isn't it?
**[05:42] Kidou**
If that were combined with modern technology,
**[05:45] Kidou**
it would bring about great
developments for ninjas.
**[05:50] Kidou**
How could there be any reason
to seal it away, or worse, destroy it?
**[05:56] Yumika**
It's the same reason you don't
let a baby hold sharp objects.
**[06:00] Kidou**
I am perplexed.
**[06:02] Kidou**
You aren't even a ninja.
**[06:05] Kidou**
Why would you throw your life away like this?
**[06:09] Kidou**
Is it that your ego as the Iga Chief—
your pride—drives you to do so?
**[06:17] Yumika**
I doubt you would understand.
**[06:28] Karajishi**
Your punishment is set
to be carried out tomorrow.
**[06:31] Karajishi**
Make your decision by then.
**[06:44] Kirei**
Hark! I verily as the something-th
successor to Iga...
**[06:52] Ittoki**
Cut it out! Give me a break.
**[06:55] Ryoko**
Kirei is just trying to cheer
you up with humor. Right?
**[06:59] Kirei**
What?
**[07:00] Kirei**
That's—
**[07:02] Kirei**
Sure, let's go with that, I guess.
**[07:05] Kirei**
Just me being the nice
Kirei you know and love.
**[07:08] Ryoko**
Ittoki, you're remarkable.
**[07:10] Ryoko**
Despite the circumstances,
you're carrying out your role.
**[07:13] Ittoki**
But Ryoko, your dad and village are also...
**[07:17] Ryoko**
He's the picture of a stubborn craftsman,
**[07:21] Ryoko**
so I'm sure he's just completely
absorbed in his work.
**[07:26] Ittoki**
You're welcome to stay here
as long as you need.
**[07:31] Ryoko**
I offer my humblest thanks, Acting Chief.
**[07:34] Kirei**
I shall humbly piggy-back on
your magnanimity, Acting Chief.
**[07:39] Ittoki**
Cut it out!
**[07:40] Tokisada**
Ittoki. Kousetsu. Come with me.
**[07:55] Kozo**
They're executing the chief?!
Are you sure that's true?
**[07:58] Tokisada**
The information comes
from the NSC. It's solid.
**[08:00] Chikamatsu**
To hell with that!
**[08:01] Chikamatsu**
Hey! Gather everyone who can move!
**[08:03] Reiha**
And then what?
**[08:05] Chikamatsu**
We rescue the chief. What else?
**[08:08] Kozo**
Hold on.
**[08:08] Chikamatsu**
What reason is there to stop me?
**[08:10] Kozo**
This would be declaring war on the NSC!
**[08:14] Kozo**
It would turn everyone against Iga.
It could bring down the entire village!
**[08:19] Chikamatsu**
This is no time to sit back and debate!
The chief's life is on the line!
**[08:24] Reiha**
Whatever we choose to do,
we don't have enough information.
**[08:27] Reiha**
First, let's calm down
and assess the situation.
**[08:30] Tokisada**
The sentence will be carried out tomorrow.
**[08:32] Tokisada**
If we don't decide now,
it will be too late.
**[08:40] Kozo**
It's too cruel to put this on him.
The rest of us can handle this.
**[08:43] Tokisada**
Ittoki, expel me from the village.
**[08:47] Tokisada**
I'll save Yumika.
**[08:49] Tokisada**
If you expel me first, Iga won't
be deemed responsible.
**[08:52] Kozo**
No. That will only serve
as a stopgap measure.
**[08:55] Shiota**
But they've destroyed the rules.
What other path is there?
**[09:00] Reiha**
But then what about Tokisada?
**[09:02] Tokisada**
There's no right choice.
You can only choose the least bad option.
**[09:07] Tokisada**
Ittoki.
**[09:23] Ittoki**
Kou...setsu...
**[09:25] Kozo**
What are you doing? Release him!
**[09:27] Kousetsu**
Expel me. I'll go save her, too.
**[09:30] Kousetsu**
I can't understand your hesitation.
**[09:32] Kousetsu**
I have no family.
**[09:35] Kousetsu**
None.
**[09:37] Kousetsu**
Only Yumika...
**[09:48] (Flashback) Yumika**
What's wrong, dear?
**[09:51] (Flashback) Yumika**
Where are your mom and dad?
**[09:58] (Flashback) Tokisada**
We should place her with an orphanage.
**[10:01] (Flashback) Yumika**
She can be my child.
**[10:14] Kousetsu**
She's all I have.
Isn't she all you have too?
**[10:19] Kousetsu**
If you won't give the order,
I'll do it anyway.
**[10:21] Reiha**
Calm down!
**[10:22] Reiha**
You, too, Tokisada.
**[10:23] Reiha**
What will you do afterwards?
**[10:25] Kozo**
We can't have you or the chief running
for the rest of your lives!
**[10:28] Kousetsu**
Shut up! It's better than losing her!
**[10:31] Ittoki**
K-Kousetsu...
**[10:34] Ittoki**
Thank you.
**[10:43] Ittoki**
I will not expel them.
**[10:45] Ittoki**
Rescue the chief as Iga ninjas.
**[10:54] Ittoki**
Every moment matters. We can't avoid
taking somewhat forceful measures.
**[10:57] Ittoki**
Set off after making full preparations
**[11:01] Ittoki**
so as not to be found out
by Koga or the NSC.
**[11:04] Ittoki**
Also,
**[11:07] Ittoki**
do as much as you can not to hurt people.
**[11:11] Tokisada**
Yes, sir.
**[11:12] Ittoki**
Kousetsu, I leave Mom in your hands.
**[11:16] Ittoki**
As for the rest of you,
**[11:17] Ittoki**
I task you with gathering information
to prove the chief's innocence.
**[11:21] Ittoki**
If we can't rely on the NSC to do it,
we'll have set things right ourselves.
**[11:26] Kozo**
Yes, sir.
**[11:27] Ittoki**
We...
**[11:30] Ittoki**
We have done nothing wrong.
**[11:32] Ittoki**
And so we'll hold our heads
up high and prove that!
**[11:38] Ittoki**
Thank you for all your assistance.
**[11:47] Enbi**
Welcome back, Acting Chief.
**[11:50] Kidou**
I'm holding a meeting.
Summon the executives.
**[11:55] Enbi**
It's finally happening, isn't it?
**[12:01] Secretary**
*Acting Chief, you have a visitor.*
**[12:04] Kidou**
Who?
**[12:05] Secretary**
Suzaku Ban.
**[12:09] Kidou**
Let him through.
**[12:12] Kidou**
Did you know about this?
**[12:14] Housen**
No, sir.
**[12:17] Suzaku**
Pardon my interruption.
**[12:19] Suzaku**
I came because I have information
to give directly to the acting chief.
**[12:24] Suzaku**
I received a report from a spy I sent to Iga
**[12:27] Suzaku**
that Tokisada Kaga has left the village
and headed to recover the Iga Chief.
**[12:35] Suzaku**
Given that Iga's greatest
asset will be absent,
**[12:37] Suzaku**
I believe now is the perfect
chance to attack.
**[12:41] Kidou**
Good work. You may leave.
**[12:47] Suzaku**
Though it is presumptuous, I have
a request I'd like to make, Acting Chief.
**[12:51] Suzaku**
When the attack on Iga occurs,
might I be included in a front-line unit?
**[12:58] Kidou**
I have heard of your excellence.
Your proposal is quite welcome.
**[13:03] Housen**
Hold on, sir. Suzaku is still a child.
**[13:06] Suzaku**
Thank you for this opportunity.
I will not disappoint you.
**[13:09] Housen**
Suzaku!
**[13:10] Kidou**
Go meet up with the units being formed.
**[13:14] Suzaku**
Thank you, sir.
**[13:17] Housen**
Suzaku!
**[13:19] Suzaku**
I'm not a child!
**[13:21] Suzaku**
I'll decide what I do with my life.
**[13:28] Housen**
Is using force to twist
others into submission
**[13:31] Housen**
part of Chief Kishinmaru's ideals?
**[13:35] Suzaku**
Backing down now would
only make me a coward.
**[13:52] Kidou**
This meeting to make the final decision
on whether to attack Iga will now begin.
**[13:56] Kidou**
Enbi.
**[13:57] Enbi**
Yes, sir.
**[13:57] Enbi**
We were able to deploy more
Asura squads than anticipated.
**[14:01] Enbi**
If we add the Koga units to the equation,
**[14:04] Enbi**
we'll have a force roughly
ten times the strength of Iga's.
**[14:06] Enbi**
Further, after tracking Tokisada's movements,
**[14:10] Enbi**
we confirmed he has left the city of Iga.
**[14:13] Enbi**
We lost track of him afterwards,
**[14:14] Enbi**
but it seems safe to conclude he is
indeed heading to rescue Iga's chief.
**[14:18] Enbi**
With him out of the way, victory is certain.
**[14:21] Kidou**
Housen.
**[14:23] Enbi**
What is it?
**[14:26] Housen**
I...
**[14:27] Housen**
oppose the attack on Iga.
**[14:31] Moderate Faction**
We support Housen's position.
**[14:34] Enbi**
You bastards were running
around conspiring in secret?
**[14:38] Enbi**
What're you chickening out for?
**[14:40] Housen**
To start with, the Asura are unfinished.
**[14:42] Housen**
To introduce them on the front
line in a large-scale battle
**[14:46] Housen**
without prior operational
success is premature.
**[14:48] Enbi**
And how many years will it take if
we go through all that crap?
**[14:52] Enbi**
We have numbers. Crushing
a puny village is small—
**[14:56] Housen**
We must not underestimate Iga's strength!
**[14:58] Housen**
This operation isn't like the others.
**[15:00] Housen**
Great damage to Koga will be unavoidable.
**[15:03] Enbi**
This is vengeance for Chief Kishinmaru!
**[15:05] Enbi**
Of course we're prepared
to shed blood for it!
**[15:10] Housen**
Revenge has no shred
of rationality or productivity.
**[15:14] Housen**
We cannot expose Koga
to danger for such a thing.
**[15:17] Housen**
Up to now, I considered
a little fighting inevitable
**[15:20] Housen**
for the ultimate benefit of the village.
**[15:23] Housen**
But I can confidently state
**[15:26] Housen**
that this operation is folly
that will close off Koga's future.
**[15:31] Housen**
Please, sir. Reconsider.
**[15:36] Kidou**
Very well.
**[15:40] Housen**
Thank you, sir, for—
**[15:51] Kidou**
Housen, you are always right.
**[15:55] Kidou**
I'm sure you must be right
this time as well.
**[16:00] Kidou**
But...
**[16:01] Kidou**
Koga has no place for cowards.
**[16:06] Tamura**
Hey, how do you think Ittoki is doing?
**[16:08] Boy 1**
Nobody can get in contact with him, right?
**[16:11] Tamura**
He's probably found a cute girlfriend
in Tokyo and forgotten all about us.
**[16:16] City Announcement**
*An important city-wide announcement.*
**[16:18] City Announcement**
* Due to a fire at a chemical*
* plant outside the city,*
**[16:21] City Announcement**
*there is a risk of a toxic gas leak.*
**[16:23] City Announcement**
*Please take shelter indoors promptly.*
**[16:25] Tamura**
What? Gas?
**[16:26] Boy 1**
Whoa, it's for real. It's on the news.
**[16:29] Leader**
Hey! Stop! Stop!
**[16:31] Employee**
What's going on?
**[16:33] Leader**
Unexploded ordnance was found in the area.
**[16:35] Employee**
What? Like a bomb?
**[16:37] Leader**
We're pulling out for today.
**[16:39] Kirei**
Hey, it looks like it's bad news
all around out there.
**[16:44] Ittoki**
What? Toxic gas?
**[16:46] Kirei**
And unexploded ordnance.
**[16:51] Kirei**
Huh? Is the signal bad?
**[16:54] Ryoko**
Do you think Kousetsu is okay?
**[16:58] Kozo**
Acting Chief, we have an emergency.
**[17:00] Ittoki**
I just saw the news.
**[17:02] Kozo**
That's all Koga information manipulation.
**[17:07] Kozo**
When ninjas launch a large-scale attack,
**[17:10] Kozo**
doing it at night isn't enough
to conceal everything.
**[17:13] Kozo**
You have to block your
target's eyes and ears.
**[17:16] Kozo**
Judging by the methods used, it's safe
to assume this is Koga interference.
**[17:21] Ittoki**
But... that would mean...
**[17:23] Kozo**
Yes. It's a clear violation
of the Ninja Ordinances.
**[17:26] Kozo**
Koga has decided to invade
Iga village by any means necessary.
**[17:30] Kozo**
This is war!
**[17:45] Reiha**
We'll make this the command center
and last line of defense.
**[17:49] Reiha**
We'll ready Iga territory
to respond to attack.
**[17:52] Ittoki**
Good. Proceed.
**[18:08] Reiha**
This way.
**[18:16] Shige**
I never thought we'd use
this in my lifetime.
**[18:38] Shige**
Fire Technique Defense
System fully deployed.
**[18:41] Shige**
Launch!
**[18:51] Shige**
Yes!
**[18:57] Shige**
I'm not done yet!
**[19:13] Shige**
I'm happy to die a shinobi's death.
**[19:23] Kozo**
Shige!
**[19:24] Reiha**
That's 21% of the detected Koga forces down.
**[19:29] Reiha**
First defense line breached.
They're about to enter the city.
**[19:38] Chikamatsu**
They can't just do
as they please in our village.
**[19:40] Yokogawa**
We'll take everything they did to us
'til now and pay it right back to them.
**[19:46] Shiota**
Ms. Tsune.
**[19:47] Shiota**
You can relax at home.
**[19:49] Tsune**
It's my village. I want to protect it.
**[19:53] Tsune**
Here they come.
**[20:03] Security Guard**
Hold on, you two.
**[20:06] Tokisada**
What's up?
**[20:07] Security Guard**
What're you doing over here?
**[20:09] Kousetsu**
Like, going to the concert!
**[20:12] Kousetsu**
Like, whoa, this guard is scary!
**[20:14] Kousetsu**
Help, Poobear!
**[20:16] Tokisada**
Hey, bub! Wha'd'ya think
you're doin' to my honeypie?
**[20:19] Security Guard**
This area is off limits.
Authorized personnel only.
**[20:22] Security Guard**
Just leave, please.
**[20:23] Tokisada**
Bingo.
**[20:28] Tokisada**
We break through and scram
before NSC reinforcements arrive.
**[20:32] Tokisada**
Ready?
**[20:34] Kousetsu**
Ready.
**[20:50] Tokisada**
We came to get you.
**[20:52] Yumika**
Tokisada! Kousetsu!
**[20:53] Tokisada**
No time. We'll talk later.
**[20:56] Yumika**
Why?
**[20:57] Tokisada**
It was the acting chief's decision.
**[21:01] Tokisada**
He's doing well.
**[21:05] Yumika**
Kousetsu.
**[21:08] Yumika**
Thank you.
**[21:19] Tokisada**
That's nasty of them.
**[21:21] Karajishi**
Now what do I do?
**[21:23] Karajishi**
There's no punishment more severe than
what you were sentenced to already.
**[21:26] Karajishi**
You're under arrest for
escaping from custody.
**[23:02] Captain**
Now we split into front-line
and defense line units.
**[23:05] Captain**
We need to gain control
of their headquarters by dawn.
**[23:09] Moderate Faction**
*Su-ku... Suzaku!*
**[23:11] Moderate Faction**
*Your father...*
**[23:12] Moderate Faction**
*Kidou killed him!*
**[23:15] Moderate Faction**
*You're in danger, too. Run as—*
**[23:18] Captain**
Now we get revenge for Chief Kishinmaru!
**[23:26] Kousetsu**
The fight ends, and dawn breaks.
**[23:30] Kousetsu**
What is left in your hands?
**[23:34] Kousetsu**
Next time on *Shinobi no Ittoki*

**[00:04] Shione Kouzuki**
Excuse me.
**[00:06] Shione Kouzuki**
You'll have to return that.
**[01:58] Shiota**
Don't tell me these are...
**[01:59] Kozo**
The enemy are Koga ninjas and, according
to reports, mechanical ninjas.
**[02:05] Ittoki**
You mean they're robots?!
**[02:06] Ryoko**
I've never heard of such a thing.
**[02:09] Reiha**
Their units are composed of one Koga
ninja and several mechanical ninjas.
**[02:14] Reiha**
There are a total of 48 Iga
ninjas on the front lines.
**[02:17] Reiha**
Koga's forces number 250
just in front-line units.
**[02:22] Kozo**
On top of that, they have nearly
the same number in rear units.
**[02:26] Kozo**
This is a rough estimate, but they appear
to have a 10-fold advantage in numbers.
**[02:30] Kirei**
Wouldn't it be better to run away?
**[02:38] Tokisada**
Take Yumika and escape.
**[02:40] Yumika**
Take care of this.
**[02:44] Karajishi**
Don't let them get away!
**[02:48] Tokisada**
This is a pain. Come at me all at once.
**[02:50] Karajishi**
Attention all units:
**[02:52] Karajishi**
Neutralize Tokisada Koga.
Live capture not required!
**[03:08] Yokogawa**
Are you all right?
**[03:11] Chikamatsu**
Yes... You know, these guys
aren't so tough one-on-one.
**[03:15] Chikamatsu**
There are just too many. It's endless.
**[03:18] Ittoki**
What is everyone's status?
**[03:19] Reiha**
They're repelling the attacks.
**[03:21] Reiha**
But no matter how many they defeat, the
machines are immediately replenished.
**[03:26] Reiha**
The more time passes, the greater our
disadvantage with our inferior numbers.
**[03:29] Kirei**
Doesn't that sound like game over?
**[03:32] Kozo**
We have a chance once Tokisada returns.
We'll have to hold out until then.
**[03:40] Ittoki**
Could we have everyone hole
up here until Uncle returns?
**[03:44] Reiha**
The enemy's numbers are too great.
**[03:46] Reiha**
I'm not sure the estate's defense
systems could hold out...
**[03:49] Kozo**
No, it's too risky to concentrate
our forces in one place.
**[03:53] Kozo**
We'll have to go on like this.
**[03:58] Ryoko**
Did you notice something?
***SIGN*** Remaining Battery
***SIGN*** Mid-sortie
***SIGN*** Returning On Standby
**[04:00] Ittoki**
Why are they being so cautious?
**[04:04] Ittoki**
They greatly outnumber us, so they
could just attack all at once.
**[04:08] Kirei**
A bunch of them got blown up when they tried
to force a charge through the tollbooth.
**[04:12] Kirei**
Maybe they rethought things?
**[04:13] Ittoki**
Even after that, Koga's
numbers are overwhelming.
**[04:17] Ittoki**
They shouldn't have any
reason to be so cautious.
**[04:19] Ryoko**
Um, can you tell what proportion of Koga's
force is made up of mechanical ninjas?
**[04:24] Kozo**
It's been reported that each unit
comprises one Koga ninja and four machines.
**[04:30] Kozo**
As for the composition of
the rear units, I can't say.
**[04:33] Ittoki**
So the vast majority are mechanical ninjas.
**[04:36] Ryoko**
That may have some bearing on
the strategy Koga has taken.
**[04:40] Ittoki**
True.
**[04:41] Ittoki**
Could we have everyone report anything
they've noticed about the machines?
**[04:45] Ittoki**
Even the smallest detail might be helpful.
**[04:48] Ryoko**
If possible, I'd like to have a
mechanical ninja brought here.
**[04:52] Koga Ninjas**
Currently, 29% of the Asura units have
been destroyed. Zero human casualties.
**[04:58] Koga Ninjas**
Most likely, we can suppress
Iga within one hour.
**[05:01] Enbi**
Hurry up and die, Iga bastards!
**[05:05] Tsune**
Sorry for the wait.
**[05:07] Ittoki**
Thank you very much.
**[05:11] Reiha**
Two ninjas wounded in the Sparrow Unit!
**[05:12] Kozo**
Ms. Tsune, please go support them.
**[05:14] Tsune**
You got it.
**[05:16] Reiha**
Wounded in the Shrike and
Woodpecker Units as well!
**[05:18] Reiha**
Medical units, go render aid!
**[05:35] Shiota**
Ms. Tsune!
**[05:37] Tsune**
You didn't quite manage to die, eh? Come on.
**[05:41] Shiota**
It was sloppy of me.
**[05:45] Ryoko**
As inelegant as I thought.
**[05:48] Ittoki**
Did you learn something?
**[05:49] Ryoko**
Ninja Cores are ultimately
tools to pair with Ninja Suits
**[05:51] Ryoko**
to bring human physical
abilities beyond their limits.
**[05:55] Ryoko**
This is so highly inefficient—
**[05:56] Kirei**
For normal people, please!
**[05:58] Ryoko**
Kirei, could you move all day
on a single grain of rice?
**[06:02] Kirei**
No way.
**[06:03] Ryoko**
It's the same for these machines.
**[06:05] Ryoko**
The amount of energy supplied by
the Ninja Cores in these units
**[06:09] Ryoko**
is far too low for the
requirements of the body.
**[06:12] Ryoko**
I'd expect the mechanical ninjas to
be able to operate for an hour max.
**[06:18] Kozo**
A report from Shiota!
**[06:20] Shiota**
* One of them retreated unnaturally*
* on the verge of dealing a finishing blow.*
***SIGN*** Audio call
**[06:24] Shiota**
* It ran off and a different*
* mechanical ninja attacked.*
**[06:28] Shiota**
*It could've killed me, but it didn't.*
**[06:31] Kirei**
Could it have withdrawn
because it ran out of energy?
**[06:35] Ittoki**
Thank you, Mr. Shiota.
That's extremely helpful.
**[06:38] Shiota**
*Over and out.*
***SIGN*** Audio call
***SIGN*** Call ended
**[06:40] Ittoki**
If the mechanical ninjas' weakness
is insufficient energy,
**[06:42] Ittoki**
that explains why Koga is
after Iga's secret Ninja Core.
**[06:47] Ryoko**
With the technology behind the secret
Ninja Core's unlimited energy,
**[06:50] Ryoko**
the energy problem would be solved.
**[06:53] Kozo**
If they were ever to be
able to make that happen...
**[06:56] Ittoki**
Right now, what we need is a
way to force their retreat.
**[07:00] Ryoko**
I have an idea.
**[07:02] Ryoko**
These Ninja Cores are like
rechargeable batteries, as it were.
**[07:06] Ryoko**
Based on the report just now,
**[07:08] Ryoko**
they most likely have a base
somewhere for recharging energy.
**[07:13] Ryoko**
I imagine they're maintaining
a constant rotation
**[07:16] Ryoko**
by sending new machines in
while the previous ones charge.
**[07:21] Ittoki**
If we take that out, that will
stop the mechanical ninjas!
**[07:23] Ryoko**
Yes, but Koga would want
to hide their weak point.
**[07:28] Ryoko**
They probably forced that charge
with the trucks as a diversion
**[07:32] Ryoko**
so that they could transport the
charging system via another route.
**[07:36] Ittoki**
Can we compute where that base is?
**[07:39] Reiha**
I'll work backwards from
the operational time limit.
***SIGN*** Security Checkpoint: Display Hide
***SIGN*** Abnormality Detection: None
**[07:42] Kirei**
We have to search this whole area?
**[07:44] Ryoko**
The charging system ought
to be quite large.
**[07:48] Ryoko**
Since it would have to
be transported by truck,
**[07:50] Ryoko**
limit the search to inconspicuous places
with level ground and road access.
***SIGN*** Security Checkpoint: Display Hide
***SIGN*** Abnormality Detection: None
**[07:55] Reiha**
Results in. There are
five potential locations.
**[07:58] Reiha**
If we send two ninjas to scout each spot...
**[08:00] Kozo**
We can't. The front line would collapse.
**[08:03] Kozo**
We have to form a single scout group
and have them search one by one.
**[08:07] Kozo**
It'll take time, but it's all we can do.
**[08:11] Ittoki**
I'll go.
**[08:13] Kozo**
You can't! It's too dangerous!
**[08:15] Ittoki**
Everyone else is risking their lives.
**[08:19] Ittoki**
I don't want any more of
our people to get hurt!
**[08:23] Kozo**
It's still unacceptable. To send
a child to a battlefield is—
**[08:27] Ittoki**
*I* am the current acting chief!
**[08:30] Ittoki**
It's my job to protect Iga.
**[08:35] Ryoko**
Allow me to join you.
**[08:37] Ittoki**
I can't let you do that!
**[08:39] Ittoki**
I can't drag you into Iga's problems!
**[08:41] Ryoko**
The mechanical ninjas were
made by my father!
**[08:45] Ryoko**
Something Saiga village made
is being used as a tool of war.
**[08:49] Ryoko**
I can't sit by and do nothing!
**[08:52] Ittoki**
But...
**[09:02] Ryoko**
Let me repay you and everyone in Iga
for all the kindness you've shown me.
**[09:09] Ittoki**
Ryoko...
**[09:15] Ittoki**
Please help me.
**[09:18] Ryoko**
Yes, sir.
**[09:20] Kozo**
Just promise me one thing.
**[09:23] Kozo**
That if things get too dangerous,
you'll come straight back.
**[09:27] Kirei**
Um, I...
**[09:31] Kirei**
I don't think I'll be useful,
so I'll sit this out. Sorry!
**[09:37] Kirei**
I'm sorry.
**[09:38] Ittoki**
You don't have anything to apologize for.
**[09:41] Ittoki**
Once it's all over, let's
hang out at the river again!
**[09:45] Ittoki**
Ryoko, is there anything you need?
**[09:47] Ryoko**
Yes. Could you lead me to where
you keep your ninja tools?
**[09:50] Kozo**
This way.
***SIGN*** They're targeting your base. Ittoki has
**[10:12] Karajishi**
You damned demon.
**[10:18] Karajishi**
Where have you been all this time?
**[10:21] Karajishi**
No matter. I'll overlook
the violation of orders.
**[10:25] Karajishi**
We're capturing Tokisada Koga.
**[10:27] Shione Kouzuki**
Captain Karajishi of the 2nd Division.
**[10:29] Shione Kouzuki**
You are under arrest.
**[10:35] Karajishi**
So you're an Iga turncoat?
**[10:37] Shione Kouzuki**
Who're ya callin' a turncoat?
You're the traitor here!
**[10:41] Suzaku**
We arrested Koga ninjas attempting to burn
**[10:45] Suzaku**
Captain Goshogawara's body at an
NSC-owned cremation facility.
**[10:51] Shione Kouzuki**
You are suspected of murdering
Hayato Goshogawara.
**[10:55] Shione Kouzuki**
Surrender quietly.
**[10:57] Karajishi**
Why, you—
**[11:05] Shione Kouzuki**
Put down your weapons!
**[11:07] NSC 1**
You're letting him go?
**[11:09] Shione Kouzuki**
Right now, we need to prioritize
aid for NSC agents and
**[11:12] Shione Kouzuki**
getting our situation under control.
**[11:23] Higher-up**
Karajishi... has been arrested.
**[11:27] Higher-up**
Tokisada escaped. He's expected
to return to Iga soon.
**[11:31] Enbi**
Hey, the hour is long past!
What the hell is going on?
**[11:35] Koga Ninja**
Iga's resistance has been greater than expected.
**[11:37] Koga Ninja**
But by morning, they'll definitely—
**[11:39] Enbi**
That'll be too damned late!
**[11:41] Enbi**
Go all-out, rear units included,
and finish it in 30 minutes!
**[11:48] Yumika**
That's...
**[11:49] Tokisada**
*Chief...*
**[11:50] Kousetsu**
Uncle, Iga is blanketed in fog.
**[11:52] Tokisada**
* That's a Koga tactic. The*
* village is being attacked.*
**[11:56] Tokisada**
Electromagnetic interference is
keeping me from reaching anyone.
**[11:59] Tokisada**
I don't know the situation inside.
**[12:00] Kousetsu**
What should I do?
**[12:01] Tokisada**
*Leave the area and hide.*
**[12:03] Yumika**
I'm returning to the village.
**[12:05] Yumika**
What chief would run when
her village is in danger?
**[12:12] Tokisada**
*As you wish. Kousetsu, can you do it?*
**[12:15] Kousetsu**
I'll do it even if I can't.
**[12:17] Yumika**
Ittoki...
**[12:18] Kousetsu**
Don't worry.
**[12:21] Kousetsu**
He comes through when it counts.
**[12:29] Ittoki**
There are so many.
**[12:31] Ryoko**
With the charging station so close, the
machines won't have to conserve energy.
**[12:35] Ryoko**
If we're spotted, it's all over.
**[12:38] Ryoko**
There are also plenty of guards.
It's dangerous.
**[12:40] Ryoko**
We should go report back.
**[12:44] Ittoki**
Is it time for the rotation?
**[12:46] Ryoko**
It doesn't feel right for that. And most
of the Koga ninja guards are gone...
**[12:54] Ittoki**
Ryoko, is it possible for us to
destroy that thing right now?
**[12:58] Ryoko**
That's reckless. We should
go back and get help!
**[13:02] Ittoki**
I don't know why, but their
defense is thinner than normal.
**[13:05] Ittoki**
This moment is an opportunity
to end the battle.
**[13:08] Ryoko**
But...
**[13:10] Ittoki**
I noticed you aren't saying it's impossible.
**[13:13] Ittoki**
Help me do this.
**[13:16] Ryoko**
Ittoki, you really always
put others before yourself.
**[13:22] Ryoko**
I had a feeling you might want
to try something reckless,
**[13:25] Ryoko**
so I brought the grenades we
didn't use when we were fishing.
**[13:30] Ryoko**
If we use them on the charging system,
**[13:32] Ryoko**
we can initiate a massive explosion
through a chain reaction.
**[13:36] Ryoko**
It should destroy the nearby
mechanical ninjas as well.
**[13:39] Ryoko**
However, I expect doing so
will be quite difficult.
**[13:42] Ryoko**
They'll need to be placed
directly on the charging system.
**[13:47] Ittoki**
Directly on it...
**[13:50] Ryoko**
Yes. A nearly impossible task.
**[13:52] Ryoko**
Which is why we'll use *this*.
**[13:55] Ryoko**
It'll jam the instruction
transmission mechanism,
**[13:58] Ryoko**
then the self-repair program will—
**[14:00] Ittoki**
Uh... the short version?
**[14:01] Ryoko**
It'll stop the mechanical ninjas from
moving, but only for about 10 seconds.
**[14:05] Ryoko**
That's the best I could
do on the fly like this.
**[14:08] Ittoki**
That's amazing, Ryoko. Thanks.
**[14:10] Ittoki**
You can head back first.
**[14:13] Ryoko**
I'll be in charge of this one.
**[14:16] Ryoko**
A ninja tool crafter's job
is to provide support.
**[14:19] Ryoko**
It would sully Saiga's name
for me to bow out here.
**[14:25] Ittoki**
Thank you.
**[14:46] Himura**
You...
**[15:01] Himura**
Hey, there, Future Chief.
**[15:05] Himura**
Now I can finally kill you.
**[15:08] Himura**
This ain't school.
**[15:13] Ittoki**
Damn it!
**[15:37] Ryoko**
Ittoki. Ittoki.
**[15:40] Ryoko**
Ittoki!
**[15:43] Ryoko**
We did it, Ittoki! Let's get out of here!
**[15:52] Ryoko**
Ittoki?
**[16:00] Ittoki**
Kirei!
**[16:03] Kirei**
Good morning.
**[16:05] Ittoki**
Why?
**[16:07] Kirei**
"To deceive your enemy, first deceive
your allies." As the saying goes.
**[16:12] Ittoki**
Thank you.
**[16:15] Kirei**
Hey! I can run on my own!
**[16:18] Enbi**
Damn it! What the hell are
the defense units doing?!
**[16:21] Koga Ninja**
Charging station damaged!
The front is going to collapse!
**[16:25] Enbi**
We don't need the Asuras to
defeat the likes of the Iga!
**[16:27] Koga Ninja**
Annihilating Iga without the
Asuras will not be possible!
**[16:30] Koga Ninja**
Please, order the retreat!
**[16:40] Reiha**
A convoy likely carrying the
Koga units has left Iga!
**[16:43] Kozo**
We've won!
**[16:45] Ittoki**
Thank goodness.
**[16:46] Kozo**
* Still, promise never do*
* anything like that again!*
**[16:50] Ittoki**
Sorry...
**[16:51] Tsune**
*Nobody should be lecturing him right now.*
**[16:55] Tsune**
*I offer my deepest thanks, Acting Chief.*
**[16:57] Yogawa?/Yokogawa?**
* We can't call you "Young*
* Master" anymore, can we.*
**[16:59] Chikamatsu**
*Please continue to protect Iga.*
**[17:02] Kirei**
That's right, Acting Chief.
**[17:08] Shione Kouzuki**
Tell me everything.
**[17:10] Shione Kouzuki**
Was it on Kidou Minobe's orders that
you killed Captain Goshogawara?
**[17:14] Karajishi**
I suggest you choose your words carefully.
**[17:17] Karajishi**
I am the head of the NSC.
**[17:19] Shione Kouzuki**
Did you betray the NSC for Koga
so you could get that position?
**[17:22] Karajishi**
I will remain silent until my lawyer arrives.
**[17:25] Shione Kouzuki**
Would that be one of Koga's
exclusive private lawyers?
**[17:28] Karajishi**
Surely that's not so strange.
**[17:31] Shione Kouzuki**
They aren't going to defend you.
**[17:33] Shione Kouzuki**
The Koga ninjas who were attempting
to burn Captain Goshogawara's body
**[17:37] Shione Kouzuki**
gave statements saying you were
the one who committed the murder.
**[17:41] Shione Kouzuki**
And that they only took the job to burn
the body, with no connection to Koga.
**[17:47] Karajishi**
Hogwash.
**[17:49] Shione Kouzuki**
Even after Koga abandoned
you, you'll still serve them?
**[17:54] Karajishi**
You think you can get me to
crack with some clumsy bluff?
**[18:00] Karajishi**
What's that look supposed to mean?
**[18:02] Shione Kouzuki**
If you're truly NSC, then do what's
necessary to serve justice.
**[18:08] Karajishi**
Don't you dare look down on me.
**[18:11] Karajishi**
This isn't over.
**[18:20] Reiha**
Yumika!
**[18:21] Kozo**
Welcome back, ma'am!
**[18:23] Yumika**
Is everyone all right? What about Ittoki?
**[18:25] Kozo**
We are. Ittoki protected the village
splendidly as acting chief.
**[18:31] Yumika**
I'm glad to hear it.
**[18:32] Kozo**
Kousetsu, well done escorting her back.
**[18:44] Yumika**
Kousetsu?
**[18:52] Kousetsu**
Get out. Don't let anyone come in.
**[18:55] Kozo**
What're you doing, Kousetsu?
**[18:56] Kousetsu**
Do as I say, or she dies.
**[18:59] Yumika**
Kousetsu!
**[19:00] Kousetsu**
Hand over Iga's secret Ninja Core.
**[19:03] Reiha**
*Acting Chief! Emergency!*
**[19:05] Reiha**
*Kousetsu has... betrayed us!*
**[19:08] Reiha**
She's holding the chief hostage!
**[19:14] Yumika**
Were you waiting for this
moment the whole time?
**[19:17] Kousetsu**
Keep quiet.
**[19:19] Yumika**
Who are you?
**[19:20] Kousetsu**
Keep quiet!
**[19:24] Karajishi**
Hand over the Ninja Core.
**[19:27] Kousetsu**
Hand over the Ninja Core.
**[19:31] Yumika**
Kousetsu.
**[19:33] Yumika**
Snap out of it!
**[19:36] Kousetsu**
Don't move!
**[19:43] Kousetsu**
If you don't obey, I'll kill you.
**[19:48] Kousetsu**
Stay back!
**[20:00] Yumika**
I see how hard you're fighting.
**[20:08] Yumika**
No matter what happens, you'll
always be my daughter.
**[20:28] Kousetsu**
M...o...
**[20:32] Yumika**
Kousetsu!
**[20:34] Yumika**
Kousetsu!
**[20:46] Yumika**
Ittoki...
**[20:49] Ittoki**
Where's Mom?
**[20:50] Kozo**
We have the estate surrounded
and are attempting learn more.
**[20:54] Kozo**
We're going in!
**[20:56] Ittoki**
Mom!
**[20:58] Ittoki**
Mom!
**[21:04] Ittoki**
M-Mom?
**[21:21] Kozo**
Kousetsu!
**[21:22] Kozo**
Why?!
**[21:23] Kozo**
Why...

THOSE TAKEN,

**[00:56] Reiha**
we now need to complete the procedures
to officially make you Chief.
**[01:00] Ittoki**
Uh-huh...
**[01:01] Reiha**
Tokisada has custody of Kousetsu
and is hearing what she has to say,
**[01:06] Reiha**
but it is nearly certain that Kousetsu will
be deemed responsible for Yumika's murder.
**[01:11] Reiha**
You... will also have to
decide her punishment.

Uh-huh...

**[01:29] (Flashback) Tokisada**
Leave Kousetsu in my custody.

I'll find out everything she knows.
**[01:33] (Flashback) Tokisada**
No matter what it takes.

It's no use. It's not working.

What? You can't! Get her to a hospital!
**[01:41] (Flashback) Ittoki**
What the hell are you doing?
**[01:45] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Let go of me!
**[01:46] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Mom is alive! She has to be!
**[01:50] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Why?
**[01:51] (Flashback) Ittoki**
*Why?*
**[01:52] (Flashback) Ittoki**
What did we ever do?
**[01:54] (Flashback) Ittoki**
What did Mom ever do?
**[01:57] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Why did this have to happen?
**[02:10] Enbi**
The annihilation of the Hachiya Troupe,
Bizen, and Kurohabaki is complete.
**[02:16] Enbi**
I'll recall the dispatched units and
prepare for the second assault on Iga.
**[02:21] Enbi**
I swear that we will take Iga and
avenge Chief Kishinmaru without fail.
**[02:26] Kidou**
I feel as if I've heard that before.
**[02:30] Kidou**
You promised certainty and delivered
failure. Why should I trust you?
**[02:37] Kidou**
This is your last chance.
**[02:45] Moderate Faction**
It would be wisest not to return to Koga.
**[02:48] Moderate Faction**
Kidou intends to kill anyone who
does not conform to his vision.
**[02:53] Suzaku**
Why was my father killed?
**[02:56] Moderate Faction**
He suggested abandoning the
plans for armed suppression.
**[02:59] Suzaku**
Why would he...
**[03:01] Moderate Faction**
Kidou is out of control.
**[03:03] Moderate Faction**
And so—
**[03:04] Suzaku**
Iga killed Chief Kishinmaru.
**[03:06] Suzaku**
Crushing Iga is right.
**[03:09] Moderate Faction**
Kidou's approach will lead to
large losses for Koga too.
**[03:12] Suzaku**
You can't accomplish anything
if you're afraid of losses.
**[03:15] Suzaku**
Doesn't that just mean he
ultimately lacked courage?
**[03:18] Moderate Faction**
You're wrong.
**[03:20] Moderate Faction**
He cared most for the future of the village.
**[03:23] Moderate Faction**
He was trying to protect your future.
**[03:26] Moderate Faction**
Your father was no coward.
**[03:34] Moderate Faction**
For now, stay hidden.
**[03:37] Moderate Faction**
You mustn't die as well.
**[03:50] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Hey, do you think I'll be,
like, your average salaryman?
**[03:53] (Flashback) Yumika**
Sounds wonderful to me.
**[03:55] (Flashback) Ittoki**
But don't you, you know, want
me to be something incredible?
**[03:59] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Like a world-famous artist,
or a millionaire or something.
**[04:03] (Flashback) Yumika**
I can't wait.
**[04:04] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Then, what if I didn't work, stayed here,
and did nothing but play video games?
**[04:10] (Flashback) Yumika**
Well...
**[04:11] (Flashback) Yumika**
As long as you're healthy.
**[04:12] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Come on, Mom...
**[04:13] (Flashback) Ittoki**
You don't have any expectations for your son?
**[04:16] (Flashback) Yumika**
I want to look forward to whatever happens.
**[04:18] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Huh?
**[04:20] (Flashback) Yumika**
The thing is, Ittoki, my greatest joy comes
from seeing what you do with your life.
***SIGN*** Ittoki
Sakuraba
**[04:42] Reiha**
Ittoki Sakuraba is hereby the
19th chief of the Iga ninjas.
**[04:57] Kozo**
I know things are hard right now, but...
**[05:00] Ittoki**
Yes?
**[05:01] Kozo**
We must decide what course Iga will take.
**[05:04] Chikamatsu**
I can't take it anymore!
**[05:06] Yogawa/Yokogawa?**
We'll avenge Chief Yumika without fail!
**[05:09] Kozo**
In response to this incident, you must
be prepared to take strong measures.
**[05:14] Ittoki**
But...
**[05:14] Kozo**
Koga's aggression extends to
villages across the country.
**[05:17] Kozo**
They will certainly not
give up on attacking Iga.
**[05:20] Chikamatsu**
We gotta get 'em back before they get us!
**[05:22] Shiota**
Tokisada, what's going on with Kousetsu?
**[05:25] Tokisada**
The investigation is ongoing.
**[05:26] Shiota**
If she doesn't have information on
Koga, we ought to execute her already!
**[05:32] Chikamatsu**
What reason is there to let a traitor live?
**[05:35] Chikamatsu**
Don't tell me—
**[05:36] Kozo**
That's enough!
**[05:38] Kozo**
Now is not the time for that discussion.
**[05:40] Yogawa/Yokogawa?**
What is the point of this discussion?
**[05:43] Yogawa/Yokogawa?**
Delaying things is how Yumika got killed!
**[05:46] Reiha**
Koga must have its forces spread
thin all over the country.
**[05:51] Reiha**
This may be our only chance for victory.
**[05:56] Chikamatsu**
Let's raid them!
**[05:57] Iga ninja (ad lib)**
Yeah. He's right.
**[06:01] Ittoki**
U-Um!
**[06:04] Ittoki**
C-Could this decision wait
**[06:07] Ittoki**
until after my mother's funeral?
**[06:14] Ryoko**
Um, I'm going to return to my village.
**[06:19] Ittoki**
What? What about your dad?
**[06:21] Ryoko**
He just contacted me.
**[06:23] Ryoko**
He said he had gotten too absorbed
in his work and forgot to contact me.
**[06:27] Ryoko**
You can see where my ninja
tool mania comes from.
**[06:29] Ittoki**
I see.
**[06:30] Ittoki**
I'm happy that you can go back.
**[06:32] Ryoko**
The only thing is, he said
he's in the hospital.
**[06:36] Ryoko**
Still, it's my father we're talking
about. I'm sure he's fine.
**[06:40] Ryoko**
For a craftsman, injuries come with the job.
**[06:43] Kirei**
Then maybe it's time I head home too.
**[06:45] Kirei**
Can't stay forever.
**[06:47] Ryoko**
I appreciate being allowed to stay so long.
**[06:49] Kirei**
Yup.
**[06:51] Ittoki**
It was no problem.
**[06:52] Ittoki**
Actually, I'm sorry you got
wrapped up in our problems.
**[06:58] Ryoko**
Would it be all right for me to
attend the funeral as well?
**[07:03] Ryoko**
Your mother was truly kind to me.
**[07:05] Ittoki**
Of course. Thanks.
**[07:08] Ryoko**
What about you, Kirei?
**[07:09] Kirei**
What? Oh, me?
**[07:15] Ittoki**
You don't have to force yourself to go.
**[07:16] Kirei**
Huh? It's not like that!
**[07:18] Kirei**
Really. It's just that...
**[07:21] Kirei**
Uh... I'll go if I can.
**[07:24] Ittoki**
That's what you say when you're not gonna go!
**[07:26] Kirei**
Aw, man, I...
**[07:28] Kirei**
It's not like that. My bad.
**[07:31] Kirei**
I'm sorry.
**[07:38] Shione Kouzuki**
Don't you need to be working?
**[07:42] Tokisada**
We don't have any customers.
**[07:45] Shione Kouzuki**
There's a rumor spreading about that
fog being due to a chemical spill.
**[07:50] Tokisada**
Talk about reputational damage.
**[07:52] Tokisada**
Bankruptcy's only a matter of time.
**[08:02] Tokisada**
You aren't here to arrest me?
**[08:04] Shione Kouzuki**
No. To request your cooperation.
**[08:06] Shione Kouzuki**
It's bringing Koga to justice that
takes top priority right now.
**[08:10] Tokisada**
So your outfit's internal
conflicts have been settled?
**[08:13] Shione Kouzuki**
Genji Karajishi is in confinement.
**[08:15] Shione Kouzuki**
NSC founder Juzen Jiraibou is serving
as provisional head of the organization.
**[08:23] Tokisada**
That old man, eh?
Well, I guess it'll be fine.
**[08:27] Shione Kouzuki**
We will make Koga atone for its crimes.
**[08:30] Tokisada**
We'll see, but I won't get my hopes up.
**[08:34] Shione Kouzuki**
Here's a report on Karajishi's
connection to Koga,
**[08:37] Shione Kouzuki**
as well as data from a certain
register Karajishi had.
**[08:41] Tokisada**
A register?
**[08:43] Shione Kouzuki**
An individual from your village
was listed in the register.
**[08:48] Shione Kouzuki**
Could you tell me about the relationship
between that individual and Koga village?

**[08:55] Ittoki**
Take care.
**[08:56] Ryoko**
Ittoki, about Kousetsu...
**[09:01] Ryoko**
I just don't believe that Kousetsu did it.
**[09:05] Ryoko**
The Kousetsu I know is frank to a fault.
**[09:09] Ryoko**
She isn't the sort of person who
lies, much less betrays people.
**[09:14] Ryoko**
Sorry. Maybe I'm just soft.
**[09:17] Ittoki**
No, I... That's what
I'd like to believe too.
**[09:20] Kirei**
But, you know, what if—
**[09:24] Kirei**
Oops! I forgot!
**[09:27] Kirei**
Well, 'til next time!
**[09:28] Ittoki**
What the heck?
**[09:29] Ryoko**
Let's see each other when we can!
**[09:30] Ittoki**
Yeah. See you.
**[09:33] Tokisada**
Ittoki.
**[09:34] Ittoki**
Uncle?
**[09:36] Tokisada**
I'll let you see Kousetsu.
**[09:49] Ittoki**
Kousetsu!
**[09:54] Tokisada**
I had to tie her up to keep her
from trying to kill herself.
**[09:58] Tokisada**
Tell us what happened again.
**[10:03] Kousetsu**
A bell rang inside my head.
**[10:06] Kousetsu**
After that... I only
remember small fragments...
**[10:11] Kousetsu**
The next thing I knew...
**[10:14] Kousetsu**
She was on the floor, covered in blood!
**[10:22] Kousetsu**
Kill me!
**[10:24] Kousetsu**
I have no reason to live anymore.
**[10:28] Tokisada**
I know what happened to you now.
**[10:31] Tokisada**
Koga was developing the
technology to control others
**[10:35] Tokisada**
through a microchip implanted in the brain.
**[10:37] Tokisada**
Satomi Tsubaki. The one who
first tried to kill Ittoki.
***SIGN*** Sex: Female - Blood Type: B Birth Details Weight: 3005g Chest: 34.5cm Special Findings: None Adverse Reactions and Allergies: None Prior Illnesses: None
**[10:41] Tokisada**
There was a chip implanted in her head too.
**[10:45] Kousetsu**
You're saying... I had one?
**[10:49] Ittoki**
But why would Kousetsu have one?
**[10:51] Tokisada**
Kidou was implanting chips in
children he had with mistresses
**[10:55] Tokisada**
and sending them to other villages.
**[10:57] Tokisada**
In short, he was creating unwitting spies.
**[11:03] Tokisada**
Kousetsu.
**[11:04] Tokisada**
Kidou is your father.
**[11:13] Ittoki**
But that's...
**[11:17] Kousetsu**
How long have you known?
**[11:21] Kousetsu**
Uncle, I'm sure you would've been
able to investigate whose child I was.
**[11:26] Kousetsu**
You don't mean... all this time?
**[11:29] Tokisada**
Karajishi had hidden the part about
the microchips within the NSC.
**[11:32] Tokisada**
I had no way of knowing.
**[11:35] Kousetsu**
But knowing I was Kidou's daughter
should've raised suspicions.
**[11:39] Kousetsu**
I wasn't worth... You should've
thrown me out or killed me!
**[11:45] Tokisada**
Do you think Yumika would
have ever done such a thing?
**[11:50] (Flashback) Tokisada**
That girl is the daughter of
**[11:53] (Flashback) Tokisada**
the Koga Chief's older brother
Kidou Minobe and a mistress.
**[11:57] (Flashback) Yumika**
And?
**[11:58] (Flashback) Tokisada**
The mother is already dead.
**[12:01] (Flashback) Tokisada**
Kidou has other kids, but he
hasn't acknowledged a single one.
**[12:06] (Flashback) Yumika**
In that case, she has no parent
we need to return her to, right?
**[12:11] (Flashback) Tokisada**
We ought to leave her with some orphanage.
**[12:14] (Flashback) Yumika**
Were you able to learn her name?
**[12:15] (Flashback) Tokisada**
Huh? Of course not.
**[12:18] (Flashback) Yumika**
Then we'll have to decide
on a name, won't we?
**[12:21] (Flashback) Tokisada**
Are you serious?!
**[12:22] (Flashback) Tokisada**
It's crazy to raise a child
of the Koga Chief's bloodline!
**[12:26] (Flashback) Yumika**
Iga welcomes all who come
and pursues none who leave.
**[12:30] (Flashback) Yumika**
Isn't that what your chief is always saying?
**[12:34] (Flashback) Yumika**
What do you think a child
this young is going to do?
**[12:39] (Flashback) Yumika**
Hmm...
**[12:41] (Flashback) Yumika**
How about Kousetsu? Written "red snow."
**[12:46] (Flashback) Yumika**
Your hands and cheeks were
bright red in the snow.
**[12:49] (Flashback) Yumika**
And that's how we found each other.
**[12:52] (Flashback) Yumika**
You'll be my daughter.
**[13:01] Ittoki**
Uncle, doesn't this mean
Kousetsu was being controlled?
**[13:05] Ittoki**
So then Kousetsu isn't at f—
**[13:07] Kousetsu**
It's my fault!
**[13:08] Ittoki**
No! You didn't do anything wrong!
**[13:11] Kousetsu**
But she's dead because of me. I...
**[13:15] Kousetsu**
I killed Yumika!
**[13:17] Kousetsu**
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
**[13:20] Ittoki**
Kousetsu...
**[13:22] Tokisada**
I've watched you your whole life.
**[13:25] Tokisada**
I'm also the one who taught
you your ninja skills.
**[13:28] Tokisada**
That's how I know for sure.
**[13:30] Tokisada**
If you had done it, the wound
would've been different.
**[13:34] Tokisada**
The reason you don't remember is
that you resisted the brainwashing.
**[13:38] Tokisada**
You tried to protect Yumika to the end.
**[13:55] Tokisada**
The traitor is someone else.
**[14:01] Someone**
*Yes, Chief Kidou.*
**[14:02] Kidou**
Were you the one that killed Yumika Sakuraba?
**[14:06] Someone**
* Yes. Because she refused to reveal*
* the secret Core's location,*
**[14:10] Someone**
*and Kousetsu's brainwashing wore off.*
**[14:12] Someone**
*I was forced to make the call.*
**[14:14] Kidou**
In the end, project C1 was a prototype
rife with uncertain elements.
**[14:19] Kidou**
In fact, you could say it produced
fine results for a defective product.
**[14:24] Someone**
* Though Ittoki Sakuraba has*
* officially become chief,*
**[14:27] Someone**
* Iga remains in a state of confusion,*
* and he has failed to take command.*
**[14:33] Kidou**
I see...
**[14:34] Someone**
*What should my next move be?*
**[14:36] Kidou**
You need do nothing else. Just send reports.
**[14:40] Someone**
*And my compensation?*
**[14:41] Kidou**
That will come when Iga has collapsed
and I possess the secret Ninja Core.
**[14:46] Kidou**
It won't take long.
**[14:49] Kidou**
My opponent is...
**[14:52] Kidou**
a child.
**[14:55] Kirei**
I have returned.
**[14:58] Kirei**
I will give my report.
**[15:00] Kirei**
For just over a month,
I infiltrated Iga village and—
**[15:02] Kotarou Fuma**
No need.
**[15:06] Kirei**
Why?
**[15:07] Kirei**
I swear I haven't betrayed the—
**[15:09] Kotarou Fuma**
Being friend or foe no
longer matters to Koga.
**[15:13] Kirei**
No way...
**[15:14] Kotarou Fuma**
Accept it without worry.
**[15:17] Kotarou Fuma**
I will ensure the Fuma line continues.
**[15:19] Kirei**
I don't believe this. You sold me out?!
**[15:21] Kotarou Fuma**
I believe I taught you to deceive all.
**[15:25] Kotarou Fuma**
This is goodbye, Kirei.
**[15:31] Kotarou Fuma**
Fuma will survive!

**[16:37] Kozo**
As you wish.
**[16:45] Ittoki**
What're you doing here?
**[16:47] Suzaku**
There is no Iga or Koga when it
comes to mourning the departed.
**[16:58] Suzaku**
Ittoki Sakuraba.
**[17:01] Suzaku**
How does it feel to have your parent killed?
**[17:08] Suzaku**
Coward.
**[17:14] Ittoki**
Why don't you understand the obvious?
**[17:17] Ittoki**
Of course I'm devastated that
my mom died! Of course it hurts!
**[17:22] Ittoki**
You have feelings too, don't you?
**[17:26] Ittoki**
What good is vengeance?
**[17:27] Ittoki**
You take, you kill, and does it
make you feel any better?
**[17:31] Ittoki**
Right now, even after hitting you,
**[17:34] Ittoki**
all I feel is pain.
**[17:36] Ittoki**
How long does it have to keep happening?
**[17:40] Suzaku**
Until every village lies down before Koga.
**[17:42] Ittoki**
Why the hell is that?
**[17:44] Ittoki**
Weren't you doing this to avenge your chief?
**[17:46] Suzaku**
Chief Kidou means business.
Iga has no path for survival.
**[17:50] Ittoki**
What does Koga want to accomplish?
**[17:54] Suzaku**
I don't know.
**[17:56] Suzaku**
My father opposed the village's assault,
**[18:00] Suzaku**
and was killed for it.
**[18:02] Suzaku**
He was someone who worked his

**[18:05] Suzaku**
I'm sure my father wasn't wrong.
**[18:08] Suzaku**

**[18:11] Ittoki**
And you're still going to fight?
**[18:15] Ittoki**
What the hell for?
**[18:18] Suzaku**
That's all I have left now.
**[18:50] Kishinmaru**
*Why did you make something so dreadful?*
**[18:53] Kidou**
* For the world, and by*
* extension, for humanity.*

* The path you're taking leads*
* only to destruction and ruin.*

* My ideal is the same as yours: a world*
* at peace, with no need for ninjas.*
**[19:06] Kishinmaru**
*Brother, what are you trying to do?*
**[19:09] Kidou**
*Kill all ninjas.*
**[19:11] Kidou**
* And then this country will be ruled*
* from the shadows by me and the Asuras.*
**[19:16] Kishinmaru**
* That isn't peace. It's*
* dictatorship and domination.*
**[19:20] Kishinmaru**
*It isn't too late!*
**[19:22] Kishinmaru**
*Please stop your plan.*
**[19:24] Kidou**
*You wouldn't understand.*
**[19:28] Kidou**
* You were blessed and loved, while*
* I was only ever given pain.*

A letter arrived from Kidou Minobe.
**[19:56] Ittoki**
A letter?
**[19:57] Kozo**
It says to hand over the secret Ninja Core
and vacate Iga village without condition.
**[20:03] Chikamatsu**
Asshole!
**[20:04] Shiota**
I'm sure he intends to
kill us all either way.
**[20:08] Kozo**
This is a declaration of war.
We can't be spineless.
**[20:12] Kozo**
Harden your resolve, sir!
**[20:14] Ittoki**
Take a moment to calm down.

Chief!
**[20:17] Ittoki**
This is a decision that may result in
deaths. I can't make it right away.
**[20:21] Kozo**
Shouldering that is the chief's duty!
**[20:24] Kozo**
Your mother fulfilled her role admirably!
**[20:27] Chikamatsu**
What reason is there to hesitate?
**[20:30] Chikamatsu**
If we don't respond, we'll just be killed.
**[20:32] Yogawa/Yokogawa?**
Think of what they did to your mother!
**[20:35] Kozo**
There is but one path left to us!
The only way to protect Iga is to fight!
**[20:39] Ittoki**
To decide now would be...
**[20:42] Ittoki**
Just give me some time.
**[20:45] Kozo**
You have just told us to sit and wait to die.
**[20:49] Kozo**
Your mother protected Iga.
Are you going to let Iga die?
**[20:56] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Mom.
**[20:58] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Do you think we could ever
have lived normal lives?
**[21:02] (Flashback) Ittoki**
I can't even imagine it anymore.
**[21:05] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Even though, until recently, I couldn't
even believe ninjas were real.
**[21:10] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Even so, I still don't
completely feel like a ninja.
**[21:14] (Flashback) Ittoki**
But it's not that I want to run away.
**[21:18] (Flashback) Ittoki**
I've managed to get past being
so sad I don't want to do anything,
**[21:22] (Flashback) Ittoki**
as well as the temptation
for revenge against Koga.
**[21:25] (Flashback) Ittoki**
I want to protect what you
wanted to protect, Mom.
**[21:28] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Because it's also the
thing I want to protect.
**[21:32] (Flashback) Ittoki**
No, it's nothing as cool-sounding as that.
**[21:36] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Like I thought, I wasn't
cut out to be chief.
**[21:41] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Still, my mind is made up.
**[21:43] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Sorry, Mom.
**[21:45] (Flashback) Ittoki**
I'm going to do things the way I want.
**[21:50] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Tokisada.
**[21:52] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Help me accomplish this.
**[23:26] Ittoki**
No one knows what lies ahead.
**[23:30] Ittoki**
Move forward despite that.
**[23:34] Ittoki**

**[00:09] Ittoki**
Thank you, everyone, for
gathering here today.
**[00:14] Ittoki**
I have determined Iga's reply to Koga
Acting Chief Kidou Minobe's letter.
**[00:22] Ittoki**
I will cede Iga's secret Ninja Core to Koga.
**[00:25] Ittoki**
My demand in exchange
**[00:27] Ittoki**
will be that Koga acknowledge Iga's autonomy.
**[00:32] Kozo**
Hold on, sir.
**[00:33] Kozo**
Does that mean you're surrendering to Koga?
**[00:36] Ittoki**
It is not a surrender.
**[00:38] Ittoki**
It is an offer of terms
for an agreement in which
**[00:41] Ittoki**
Iga maintains the independence and
autonomy it has heretofore possessed.
**[00:45] Yokogawa**
Will they accept a demand like that?
**[00:48] Chikamatsu**
No, this is wrong! Anything that
means handing over the Core is wrong!
**[00:52] Kozo**
To begin with, Chief, do you believe
Koga will honor its promises?
**[00:56] Ittoki**
Countermeasures are in place.
**[00:57] Ittoki**
No matter what any of you say,
I will not be changing course.
**[01:02] Kozo**
Tokisada, what are *your* thoughts on this?
**[01:05] Tokisada**
I...
**[01:07] Tokisada**
abide by the chief's decision.
**[01:12] Ittoki**
Just think about the situation.
**[01:15] Ittoki**
In a fight against Koga's ninjas and
hundreds or thousands of machines,
**[01:19] Ittoki**
do you believe Iga can survive?
**[01:21] Chikamatsu**
Like I've said many times, we just need
to attack Koga before they attack us!
**[01:26] Shiota**
Better to risk everything than
to sit and wait to die!
**[01:30] Yokogawa**
Let's go avenge Chief Yumika,
with every ninja in Iga!
**[01:34] Reiha**
I don't imagine any of us
feel this path is right.
**[01:38] Reiha**
But at this point,
**[01:39] Reiha**
for Iga to survive,
**[01:41] Reiha**
there is no other path!
**[01:47] Ittoki**
Very well.
**[01:51] Ittoki**
If you cannot abide by my
decision, then leave Iga.
**[01:56] Ittoki**
I will strike your name from
the register and expel you.
**[02:00] Reiha**
Do you really mean that?
**[02:02] Ittoki**
I do not wish to do this either.
**[02:05] Ittoki**
However, I believe that once time
has passed and you have calmed down,
**[02:09] Ittoki**
you will all understand.
**[02:12] Chikamatsu**
This is bullshit!
**[02:16] Tokisada**
I will regard further outbursts
as mutiny against the chief.
**[02:20] Ittoki**
This concludes the meeting.
***SIGN*** Reconciliation
**[02:35] Shione Kouzuki**
What?
**[02:36] Juzen**
That's it. Meeting over.
**[02:38] Shione Kouzuki**
Hold on, sir!
**[02:40] Shione Kouzuki**
Reconciliation? With Koga?!
**[02:41] Shione Kouzuki**
What's going on?
**[02:43] Juzen**
The Iga Chief made the request personally
**[02:46] Juzen**
that we serve as witnesses for
the conclusion of a peace treaty.
**[02:52] Shione Kouzuki**
The Iga Chief requested it?
**[02:53] Juzen**
The NSC will accept the request.
**[02:57] Shione Kouzuki**
This makes no sense!
**[02:58] Shione Kouzuki**
Koga isn't even trying
to hide its mass murders,
**[03:01] Shione Kouzuki**
much less its Ninja Ordinances violations.
**[03:03] Shione Kouzuki**
We should round them all up at once!
**[03:06] Juzen**
There's no evidence.
**[03:08] Juzen**
The ninjas from the destroyed villages
are nearly all dead or missing.
**[03:13] Juzen**
At this point, Koga's only established
crime is its assault on Iga.
**[03:18] Shione Kouzuki**
But sir, someone needs to stop them.
**[03:21] Juzen**
What's important is reaching a settlement.
**[03:24] Juzen**
Iga has promised not to pursue
charges for Koga's aggressions
**[03:27] Juzen**
and to provide Koga with the secret Core.
**[03:32] Juzen**
In return, Koga would pay damages,
**[03:36] Juzen**
and both sides would promise complete
nonaggression toward the other.
**[03:40] Juzen**
In the event of a violation,
the NSC steps in immediately.
**[03:46] Juzen**
This will allow us to put a collar on Koga.
**[03:50] Shione Kouzuki**
After all they did, we're just going
to let them get away with most of it?
**[03:55] Shione Kouzuki**
Are you saying we can
uphold justice like that?
**[04:00] Juzen**
The job of the NSC
**[04:03] Juzen**
is to uphold *peace*.
**[04:06] Juzen**
The issue going forward will be
**[04:08] Juzen**
Iga's secret Ninja Core once
it passes into Koga's hands.
**[04:12] Juzen**
To ensure it is not put to military
use, our job will be to monitor Koga
**[04:16] Juzen**
and keep them in check.
**[04:20] Juzen**
If anything, the test of the NSC's
reason for being is yet to come.
**[04:25] Enbi**
What, and just wag our tails for the NSC?
**[04:28] Enbi**
Don't you have any pride?
**[04:31] Koga Higher-up E1**
We *would* obtain the secret Ninja Core,
**[04:33] Koga Higher-up E1**
but the treaty provisions
prohibit military use.
**[04:37] Enbi**
Those pieces of shit! What good is
it if we can't use it in the Asuras?
**[04:41] Koga Higher-up E2**
This is a pretty smooth move they've made.
**[04:44] Enbi**
We should turn this crap down!
**[04:47] Koga Higher-up G**
Are you suggesting we oppose the NSC?
**[04:52] Kidou**
It would not be wise to start something
with the NSC at this moment.
**[04:56] Enbi**
Then we're going to accept the peace treaty?
**[04:59] Kidou**
No.
**[05:00] Kidou**
We'll get our hands on the secret Core first.
**[05:03] Kidou**
We will postpone our reply to the NSC.
**[05:06] Kidou**
We'll use that period to prepare
a second assault on Iga.
**[05:10] Enbi**
I expect gathering the personnel
and deploying the Asuras
**[05:14] Enbi**
will require quite some time.
**[05:16] Kidou**
No matter.
**[05:17] Kidou**
Stamp out Iga and take the secret Ninja Core.
**[05:22] Enbi**
I'm sure the NSC will have
something to say about that.
**[05:25] Enbi**
But as long as we complete the Asuras...
**[05:30] Kidou**
Yes,
**[05:33] Kidou**
that will be checkmate.
**[05:40] Shione Kouzuki**
Come on, girl.
**[05:44] Shione Kouzuki**
There has been no reply from Koga
regarding the proposed peace treaty.
**[05:48] Ittoki**
I see.
**[05:50] Ittoki**
Would it be possible to have you arrange
an opportunity to talk with them?
**[05:53] Shione Kouzuki**
They have been refusing all
talks with the NSC as well.
**[05:57] Shione Kouzuki**
I... doubt it will be possible.
**[06:01] Ittoki**
I understand.
**[06:03] Ittoki**
Thank you for taking the trouble
to come all the way here.
**[06:06] Shione Kouzuki**
No,
**[06:08] Shione Kouzuki**
it was our failure to act that
forced you into this position.
**[06:14] Shione Kouzuki**
I am deeply sorry.
**[06:17] Ittoki**
Please, raise your head.
**[06:19] Tokisada**
You only did your job.
**[06:24] Shione Kouzuki**
I'll be going now.
**[06:28] Ittoki**
Wait.
**[06:32] Ittoki**
Could I consult with you on something?
**[06:36] Kirei**
Ryoko!
**[06:44] Kirei**
What did I expect?
**[06:57] Kirei**
Knock, knock!
**[07:01] Kirei**
I'm coming in!
**[07:04] Ryoko**
I'm sorry. I have to keep
working on this part.
**[07:07] Kirei**
Oh, sorry, sorry...
**[07:12] Kirei**
It's awful that everything's
been burned down...
**[07:15] Ryoko**
Things break. They can be fixed again.
**[07:19] Kirei**
You could take a break...
**[07:22] Ryoko**
No, I can't.
**[07:26] Ryoko**
This is the only thing I can do.
**[07:31] Ryoko**
Ninja tool construction and maintenance.
That's the job of Saiga village.
**[07:37] Ryoko**
Even if there's no one else here...
**[07:41] Ryoko**
I...
**[07:47] Ryoko**
I'll never...
**[07:50] Ryoko**
be all that strong...
**[07:54] Ryoko**
I'm the same as a ninja tool.
I need a wielder.
**[07:59] Ryoko**
On my own... I'm useless.
**[08:04] Kirei**
You're amazing, Ryoko.
**[08:06] Kirei**
Even all alone,
**[08:09] Kirei**
you're trying to fulfill your duty.
**[08:12] Kirei**
I...
**[08:14] Kirei**
wasn't able to do that.
**[08:19] Kirei**
You see, my dad...
**[08:21] Kirei**
he died.
**[08:23] Kirei**
Still, I wasn't sad one bit.
**[08:27] Kirei**
I hated him.
**[08:29] Kirei**
He trained me to lie and betray everyone
to ensure our puny village's survival.
**[08:35] Kirei**
You know, it's poetic. In the end,
he was betrayed by Koga and died.
**[08:41] Kirei**
I felt relieved.
**[08:42] Kirei**
I was finally gonna be free.
**[08:45] Ryoko**
Free from what?
**[08:47] Kirei**
Passing intel on Iga to Koga.
**[08:51] Kirei**
That was my job as a Fuma ninja.
**[08:55] Kirei**
You know, Ittoki's mom's death was my fault.
**[08:59] Kirei**
What happened to Iga village
was also because of me.
**[09:03] Kirei**
Because I told Koga that Tokisada was gone.
**[09:09] Kirei**
I'm sure of it.
**[09:13] Kirei**
And so... in the end I betrayed
everyone... hurt everyone...
**[09:19] Kirei**
and all I had left was my life...
**[09:22] Kirei**
Nothing else.
**[09:24] Kirei**
But the terrible things I've done
**[09:30] Kirei**
will never go away.
**[09:40] Ryoko**
That may be true,
**[09:42] Ryoko**
but you're still my dear friend.
**[09:44] Kirei**
Were you listening?
**[09:45] Kirei**
I was lying to you and everyone.
**[09:48] Ryoko**
What about just now?
**[09:55] Ryoko**
Everything about your father? About Fuma?
**[09:59] Ryoko**
The tears you're shedding now?
**[10:03] Ryoko**
Is that all a lie?
**[10:09] Ryoko**
Kirei, the time I spent with you was real.
**[10:14] Ryoko**
I...
**[10:18] Ryoko**
believe that
**[10:19] Ryoko**
in my heart.
**[10:38] Secretary**
*You have a call.*
**[10:40] Kidou**
From who?
**[10:41] Secretary**
*I do not know.*
**[10:42] Secretary**
*He only said to put him through to the chief.*
**[10:44] Secretary**
*The call is from Mr. Housen's home number.*
**[10:50] Kidou**
Put him through.
**[10:52] Suzaku**
*Chief Kidou. It has been some time, sir.*
**[10:55] Suzaku**
*This is Suzaku Ban.*
**[10:57] Kidou**
What do you want?
**[10:58] Suzaku**
* I found a video file with audio*
* that my father was hiding.*
**[11:05] Kidou**
*Did you watch it?*
**[11:06] Suzaku**
Yes, sir.
**[11:07] Kidou**
*Did you show anyone?*
**[11:10] Suzaku**
No.
**[11:11] Suzaku**
*I wish to turn this file over to you, sir.*
**[11:15] Suzaku**
*I am not like my father.*
**[11:18] Suzaku**
This file is proof of my loyalty.
**[11:23] Suzaku**
Grant me a place to die as a Koga ninja.
**[11:28] Kidou**
*I will send someone over.*
**[11:30] Kidou**
Hand over the file and then rendezvous
with the Second Iga Assault teams.
**[11:42] Ittoki**
Should I take this to mean
you have made your decision?
**[11:45] Kozo**
I will speak and represent
the consensus of Iga.
**[11:50] Kozo**
We firmly reject the conclusion
of a peace treaty with Koga.
**[11:55] Kozo**
To toss aside the Iga spirit is to
toss aside being an Iga ninja.
**[12:02] Ittoki**
So then, you will accept expulsion?
**[12:06] Kozo**
No.
**[12:07] Kozo**
We wish for you to renounce
your authority as chief, sir.
**[12:13] Kozo**
The burden of Iga village is
too great for you to bear.
**[12:17] Kozo**
This is our fault for failing
to see something so obvious.
**[12:23] Kozo**
We will not install a new chief.
**[12:26] Kozo**
From now on, we'll all protect Iga together.
**[12:33] Ittoki**
I will not vacate the position of chief.
**[12:35] Ittoki**
I cannot give away the final
thing my mother entrusted to me.
**[12:41] Kozo**
I can't hold it in any more!
**[12:43] Kozo**
What you said is like the whining of a child.
**[12:46] Kozo**
What Chief Yumika entrusted to you was not
the position of chief, but Iga itself!
**[12:50] Kozo**
And you're about to toss that aside!
**[12:53] Kozo**
Can you look your mother
in the face like this?
**[12:58] Ittoki**
I will not be dissuaded.
**[13:01] Ittoki**
If you are going to continue your
opposition, I will expel you.
**[13:13] Kozo**
So we're out of other moves to make.
**[13:15] Kozo**
We'll start preparing at once.
**[13:37] Koga Ninja 1**
*Target not found.*
**[13:39] Koga Ninja 1**
*Appears to have fled.*
**[13:41] Kidou**
Go after him at once.
Make sure you retrieve the file.
**[13:45] Koga Ninja 1**
Understood, sir.
**[13:47] Suzaku**
When is the assault on Iga?
**[13:49] Koga Ninja 1**
Tomorrow... at midnight.
**[14:00] Tokisada**
What are you doing?
**[14:04] Tokisada**
What is it?
**[14:04] Kirei**
Um, is Ittoki here?
**[14:08] Tokisada**
He can't see you right now.
**[14:10] Tokisada**
I can bring him a message.
**[14:17] Kirei**
"I'm sorry for lying to you and
betraying you all this time."
**[14:22] Kirei**
Could you tell him that for me?
**[14:24] Tokisada**
You mean how you used that
bird to pass Koga intel?
**[14:27] Kirei**
You knew?
**[14:31] Kirei**
I know I did something unforgivable.
**[14:34] Kirei**
It's my fault that Ittoki's mom...
**[14:37] Tokisada**
No. The true traitor is someone else.
**[14:41] Tokisada**
It remains true that you created one
of the factors that put Iga in a corner.
**[14:46] Tokisada**
But at the same time, Iga owes you a lot.
**[14:49] Tokisada**
It was you that blew up the
charging station, right?
**[14:55] Tokisada**
That makes everything even.
**[14:57] Tokisada**
Oh, about your message. I'll have
to wait a while to deliver it.
**[15:02] Tokisada**
Ittoki is fighting on his own right now.
**[15:06] Tokisada**
I don't want to ruin that.
**[15:28] Ryoko**
Get that where it needs to be.
**[15:53] Kozo**
We will now restrain the chief
and obtain the secret Ninja Core.
**[15:58] Kozo**
Tokisada is currently out
on the chief's orders.
**[16:03] Kozo**
There's no one inside but the
chief and Kousetsu in the cellar.
**[16:07] Kozo**
All of you will keep watch on the
perimeter in case Tokisada comes back.
**[16:12] Reiha**
What if the chief flees?
**[16:14] Kozo**
Then capture him promptly.
**[16:16] Kozo**
Be a little rough if necessary.
**[16:19] Kozo**
I will retrieve the secret Core myself.
**[16:22] Kidou**
A coup d'état, eh?
**[16:24] Kidou**
Iga has fallen as low as it could.
**[16:27] Reiha**
* Kozo intends to make the chief*
* release the seal on the secret Core*
**[16:29] Reiha**
* so it can be used as a*
* trump card to fight Koga.*
**[16:32] Kidou**
Tokisada's absence is an
opportunity. Don't waste it.
**[16:35] Kidou**
Get ahead of Kozo and obtain the Core.
**[16:37] Reiha**
*But—*
**[16:38] Kidou**
Do it.
**[16:39] Kidou**
There's a life you want to save, isn't there?
**[16:43] Kozo**
The chief is currently in the inner room.
**[16:45] Kozo**
We'll carry out the plan in ten
minutes. No one leave your post.
**[17:04] Kozo**
What are you doing here?
**[17:09] Kozo**
I told you not to leave your post, Reiha.
**[17:14] Kozo**
I can't believe it was you.
**[17:27] Ittoki**
* It was not Kousetsu that killed the*
* previous chief, but a traitor in Iga.*
**[17:32] (Flashback) Ittoki**
As things stand, Koga will
always have the upper hand.
**[17:36] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Right now I want to prioritize identifying
the traitor above all else.
**[17:40] (Flashback) Kozo**
I see. So threatening everyone with
expulsion was a way to buy time to do that.
**[17:47] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Kozo, I need you to put on an act.
**[17:52] (Flashback) Kozo**
Why did you decide to trust me?
**[17:56] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Because I believe the people
of Iga trust you most.
**[18:00] (Flashback) Ittoki**
If you were the traitor, then
I couldn't trust anybody, could I?
**[18:05] Kozo**
How long?
**[18:07] Kozo**
Don't tell me it was you
that killed Chief Yumika!
**[18:10] Reiha**
What's the point of asking that now?
**[18:12] Reiha**
All you need to do is kill me right now.
**[18:14] Kozo**
How could you? Do you realize how
much blood was shed because of you?
**[18:18] Reiha**
How can you devotedly serve Iga?
**[18:22] Reiha**
Has Iga done anything for you?
**[18:24] Reiha**
It's poor, and it's weak. And on top of that,
**[18:29] Reiha**
it took my husband from me.
**[18:32] Reiha**
And yet she would only ever
tell me to bear the pain.
**[18:37] Reiha**
Kidou told me he'd save my husband!
**[18:40] Reiha**
That's why I clung to him!
**[18:41] Reiha**
What's wrong with that?
**[18:46] Kozo**
He was only using you.
Why can't you see that?
**[18:51] Reiha**
I'm not strong enough to be
able to live with so much pain.
**[18:58] Kozo**
What did you take?
**[18:59] Chikamatsu**
Oh no!
**[19:00] Shiota**
Hurry! Make her vomit it out!
**[19:01] Chikamatsu**
We need to get her to the hospital!
***SIGN*** To all the Iga ninjas, First, I respectfully offer my sincere apologies for deceiving you and testing you to find the traitor. I did it all for the sake of making peace between Iga and Koga a reality. But I am forced to say that may well be impossible. As a result of Tokisada's investigation, it has become clear that Koga Chief Kidou Minobe's true objective...
**[19:09] Ittoki**
*To all the Iga ninjas,*
**[19:13] Ittoki**
* First, I respectfully offer my*
* sincere apologies for deceiving you*
**[19:16] Ittoki**
*and testing you to find the traitor.*
**[19:21] Ittoki**
* I did it all for the sake of making*
* peace between Iga and Koga a reality.*
**[19:26] Ittoki**
* But I am forced to say that*
* may well be impossible.*
**[19:32] (Flashback) Ittoki**
The Koga Chief's aim might
not be revenge against Iga,
**[19:35] (Flashback) Ittoki**
or even to gain power and
control over the ninjas.
**[19:39] (Flashback) Ittoki**
I realized that from talking to Suzaku.
**[19:42] (Flashback) Tokisada**
His killing of high-ranking ninja Housen
Ban deviates from the expected course.
**[19:47] (Flashback) Tokisada**
I'll investigate.
**[19:49] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Thanks.
**[19:51] Ittoki**
*As a result of Tokisada's investigation,*
**[19:53] Ittoki**
* it has become clear that Koga Chief*
* Kidou Minobe's true objective*
**[20:00] Ittoki**
*is to exterminate all ninjas.*
**[20:04] Suzaku**
You're investigating my father's death?
**[20:11] Suzaku**
This has all the information you
want. I don't need it anymore.
**[20:17] Suzaku**
Stay out of my way.
**[20:19] Suzaku**
That's all I ask.
**[20:21] Ittoki**
* Most likely, by the time you are reading*
* this, Koga will have Iga surrounded.*
**[20:27] Ittoki**
*Absolutely do not fight them. Just run.*
**[20:30] Ittoki**
*As long as you are all alive,*
**[20:33] Ittoki**
*Iga village can continue on.*
**[20:36] Chikamatsu**
Don't tell me he...
**[20:36] Ittoki**
*Do not fight them. Just run.*

*What I was actually trying to accomplish was...*
**[20:43] (Flashback) Tokisada**
While investigating the
mechanical ninja warehouse,
**[20:46] (Flashback) Tokisada**
I saw signs that the vast
majority had been moved.
**[20:49] (Flashback) Ittoki**
To attack Iga, no doubt.
**[20:51] (Flashback) Tokisada**
Yes. That is practically certain.
**[20:54] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Is there no way to negotiate?
**[20:57] (Flashback) Tokisada**
The Koga Chief appears to have cut
off all contact with the outside.
**[21:00] (Flashback) Tokisada**
Direct negotiation would be tough.
**[21:04] (Flashback) Ittoki**
When Koga attacks Iga,
their defenses will be thin.
**[21:07] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Find out when the attack will be.
**[21:09] (Flashback) Ittoki**
I'll go in alone and negotiate
with Koga's chief.
**[21:12] (Flashback) Tokisada**
That won't work.
**[21:14] (Flashback) Tokisada**
However much their defenses thin,
**[21:16] (Flashback) Tokisada**
the Koga headquarters will
still have formidable security.
**[21:20] (Flashback) Ittoki**
No. With the secret Ninja
Core I can break through.
**[21:25] (Flashback) Ittoki**
It's the only way to stop
Koga without hurting anyone.
**[21:33] Ittoki**
*This is not for revenge.*
**[21:35] Ittoki**
*It's for my mother,*
**[21:37] Ittoki**
*it's for Iga,*
**[21:40] Ittoki**
*and most of all,*
**[21:47] Ittoki**
*it's for me.*

Don't let the chief die!
**[22:26] Kozo**
No!
**[22:28] Kozo**
If we go, the chief's
actions will be in vain.
**[22:31] Iga Ninja 1**
But...
**[22:32] Kozo**
Our chief is fighting right now.
**[22:35] Kozo**
Everyone,
**[22:38] Kozo**
do you still have the resolve to protect Iga?
**[22:42] Kozo**
We'll disobey just one of the chief's orders.
**[22:46] Kozo**
We'll fight here.
**[22:49] Kozo**
To prevent Koga from catching on to the
chief's plan, we'll keep them busy here.
**[22:54] Kozo**
That will both protect
Iga and help the chief.
**[22:59] Kozo**
But you must swear not to die!

**[00:15] Ittoki**
You're ignoring my orders?
**[00:22] Ittoki**
Listen to me! Go back!
**[00:24] Tokisada**
I cut ties with Iga.
**[00:27] Tokisada**
You aren't my chief. Who cares about your orders?
**[00:30] Ittoki**
I need you to listen to me!
**[00:32] Tokisada**
What a pain...
**[00:34] Kousetsu**
Still so childish.
**[00:37] Kousetsu**
I won't obey your orders.
**[00:43] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Kousetsu, do you still want to die?
**[00:48] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Mom said something to me once.
**[00:51] (Flashback) Ittoki**
She told me her greatest joy comes from
seeing what her kids do with their lives.
**[00:59] (Flashback) Ittoki**
I'm sure she's watching to see
what you do with yours, Kousetsu.
**[01:03] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Could that be reason enough for you to live?
**[01:10] (Flashback) Ittoki**
Take care of things here.
**[01:15] (Flashback) Tokisada**
Koga is going to attack.
**[01:18] (Flashback) Tokisada**
Make sure the Iga ninjas successfully escape.
**[01:20] (Flashback) Tokisada**
Those are the chief's orders.
**[01:23] (Flashback) Tokisada**
The plan is for the chief to charge into
Koga headquarters alone while that happens.
**[01:29] (Flashback) Tokisada**
You can break the chip
in your head with this.
**[01:31] (Flashback) Tokisada**
The only thing is, *you* might break first.
**[01:36] (Flashback) Tokisada**
I want to help Ittoki.
**[01:50] Kousetsu**
I'm here because this is what I want to do.
**[01:57] Kousetsu**
Thank you.

**[03:52] Enbi**
At the stroke of midnight, we'll
begin the second assault on Iga.
**[03:56] Enbi**
We'll settle the battle for
certain within 30 minutes.
**[04:05] Receptionist 2**
Senpai, does this late-night reception work
not violate the Labor Standards Act?
**[04:12] Receptionist 1**
That sort of thing flies in Koga.
**[04:23] Receptionist 1**
Might I ask what your business is here today?
**[04:30] Ittoki**
I'd like to meet with Koga's chief.
**[04:35] Enbi**
Get me the security feed!
**[04:38] Enbi**
Ridiculous!
**[04:39] Enbi**
What the hell do they think
they can do with just three people?
**[04:42] Koga Higher-up E**
But Tokisada is among them!
**[04:44] Kidou**
Is that supposed to be a problem?
**[04:48] Enbi**
Activate all the Asuras in the building!
Recall the deployed units as well!
**[04:57] Koga Ninja 1**
It's no use. We can't reach
headquarters through Iga's jamming.
**[05:00] Commander**
So they caught wind of our movements.
**[05:03] Commander**
No matter! Begin the second
assault on Iga as planned.
**[05:09] Kozo**
Stay alive and protect Iga.
**[05:12] Iga Ninjas**
Yes, sir!
**[05:23] Ryoko**
This'll stall them for at least two minutes.
**[05:25] Ittoki**
Ryoko!
**[05:27] Ittoki**
Kirei?!
**[05:28] Kirei**
H-Heya!
**[05:31] Ryoko**
It looks like there are no
issues with what I sent.
**[05:34] Ittoki**
What are you two doing here?
**[05:36] Ryoko**
I came to take back what was taken from me.
**[05:38] Kirei**
I'm her escort!
**[05:41] Ryoko**
Kirei, don't you have something to say?
**[05:44] Kirei**
Oh, uh...
**[05:46] Kirei**
I changed my look! Whaddya think?
**[05:49] Ryoko**
Kirei.
**[05:56] Kirei**
I'm so sorry!
**[05:59] Kirei**
I was deceiving you the whole time.
**[06:03] Kirei**
I was... passing intel to Koga.
**[06:07] Kirei**
So I came to make amends.
**[06:11] Kirei**
Because I want to stay friends with you!
**[06:17] Kirei**
That's all!
**[06:26] Ryoko**
You three go on ahead!
**[06:28] Kirei**
Leave this to us! We'll handle things here!
**[06:31] Tokisada**
Don't be reckless
**[06:33] Kousetsu**
Be careful.
**[06:38] Ittoki**
Thanks.
**[06:54] Ittoki**
I only came here to talk.
**[06:57] Ittoki**
I don't want to fight you if I can help it.
**[06:58] Koga Higher-up G**
It's a little late for that!
**[07:05] Ittoki**
Stay back.
**[07:27] Koga Higher-up F**
Now!
**[07:30] Ittoki**
Uncle!
**[07:31] Tokisada**
Kousetsu!
**[07:35] Ittoki**
Kousetsu.
**[07:38] Tokisada**
Go.
**[07:47] Tokisada**
Give it your best shot.
**[08:02] Kirei**
Ryoko, another immobilizing thingy!
**[08:04] Ryoko**
We used them all!
**[08:05] Kirei**
That's a nasty little joke you just told.
**[08:08] Ryoko**
It's the truth.
**[08:09] Kirei**
Then we'll just have to take 'em out!
**[08:12] Ryoko**
Right. Let's give it all we've got!
**[08:19] Himura**
Ugh. What is this bullshit?
**[08:22] Enbi**
We'll end this quickly and go crush Iga.
**[08:25] Kousetsu**
*I'll* take care of them.
**[08:27] Kousetsu**
Kousetsu.
**[08:29] Himura**
You! Why?
**[08:47] Ittoki**
Let's go.
**[08:53] Suzaku**
I have something I want to ask you two.
**[08:55] Himura**
Bastard...
**[08:56] Enbi**
So you're here to get revenge for Housen.
**[08:58] Himura**
You're a traitor!
**[08:59] Suzaku**
If I didn't come here to do this,
I'd be betraying myself.
**[09:21] Kidou**
So that's the secret Ninja Core?
**[09:24] Ittoki**
It's what Iga's chiefs protected
at the cost of their lives.
**[09:28] Ittoki**
And what you were willing to
destroy everything to get.
**[09:32] Ittoki**
I offer it on these conditions:
**[09:34] Ittoki**
that you make no moves
against other villages;
**[09:37] Ittoki**
that you destroy all your mechanical ninjas;
**[09:40] Ittoki**
that you admit to all your crimes;
**[09:43] Ittoki**
and finally, that you give up being a ninja.
**[09:47] Ittoki**
Swear these things.
**[09:49] Kidou**
I refuse.
**[09:50] Kidou**
The fact that your blade isn't pointed at
me means that you have no intent to kill.
**[09:56] Kidou**
Or more accurately, you lack
the mettle to kill someone.
**[10:01] Kidou**
Countless Koga ninjas will be returning
here after crushing Iga village.
**[10:09] Kidou**
All I have to do is wait.
**[10:12] Kidou**
Your little act of rebellion is finished.
**[10:18] Ittoki**
I want to confirm something.
**[10:21] Ittoki**
Why are you trying to destroy
every village and all ninjas?
**[10:26] Ittoki**
Why...
**[10:28] Ittoki**
did my mother have to die?
**[10:33] Ittoki**
You didn't want to become a ninja.
**[10:36] Ittoki**
But you had no choice but to be one.
**[10:38] Ittoki**
So you didn't want there to be
any more people like you, right?
**[10:44] Ittoki**
So that no one else would have to suffer.
**[10:49] Ittoki**
Being born to a ninja family means
you have your life decided for you,
**[10:53] Ittoki**
you endure pain, and you have
dirty work forced on you.
**[10:57] Ittoki**
Could it be that a desire to change that
**[10:59] Ittoki**
is what led you to try to
make yourself the last ninja?
**[11:03] Ittoki**
Could it be that you're a
kind person, deep down?
**[11:07] Ittoki**
If that's the real reason you hate ninjas,
**[11:13] Ittoki**
then I'll forgive you.
**[11:17] Himura**
Dammit!
**[11:18] Suzaku**
Answer me. What do you two
think of Koga's current state?
**[11:23] Suzaku**
Say you use the Asuras to kill every ninja.
What lies at the end of that path?
**[11:27] Enbi**
The powerful will stand on
top, and the weak will die.
**[11:31] Enbi**
We'll just repeat that.
**[11:33] Enbi**
Your old man died because he spouted
soft crap like, "What about the future?"
**[11:39] Suzaku**
I see.
**[11:41] Himura**
Bastard. What will opposing
the chief get you?
**[11:45] Himura**
You planning to take his place or something?
**[11:48] Suzaku**
I am.
**[11:49] Himura**
Wh—
**[11:50] Himura**
Enough with your bullshit!
**[11:53] Himura**
I'll absolutely never follow you!
**[12:00] Suzaku**
Kidou Minobe doesn't have a heart.
**[12:04] Suzaku**
So I'm going to remake Koga!
**[12:14] Kidou**
You must have been born blessed
and grown up being loved.
**[12:20] Kidou**
You're banking on a conscience
that I do not possess.
**[12:27] Kidou**
But then, neither do you.
**[12:32] Kidou**
The reason I killed your mother
was just that she was in the way.
**[12:37] Kidou**
And the reason I want to crush Iga,
destroy every village, and kill all ninjas,
**[12:43] Kidou**
is just that they're an eyesore.
**[12:46] Kidou**
You're seeking closure for your
beloved mother's death, aren't you?
**[12:51] Kidou**
You want to believe there was some grand
reason for why your lives were ruined.
**[12:57] Kidou**
However, the reality is
**[12:59] Kidou**
that my reason for killing her was trivial.
I squashed her like I would a bug.
**[13:05] Kidou**
It's nothing more than that.
**[13:07] Kidou**
Are you still able to forgive me,
**[13:10] Kidou**
Ittoki Sakuraba?
**[13:13] Kidou**
We're all demons just below the surface.
**[13:17] Kidou**
If you want to avenge your
mother, now is your only chance.
**[13:21] Kidou**
Draw your blade, coward! Kill me!
**[13:31] Kousetsu**
Ittoki.
**[13:35] Ittoki**
You're right.
**[13:37] Ittoki**
We'll be going now.
**[13:40] Kidou**
So you'll play the angel until you die.
**[13:45] Ittoki**
I have nothing more to discuss with you.
**[13:49] NSC 1**
Video and audio recorded. We have everything.
**[13:52] NSC 1**
We can go any time.
**[13:56] (Flashback) Ittoki**
I'll get testimony from Koga's chief
**[13:58] (Flashback) Ittoki**
that he ordered the aggressions
against the villages.
**[14:01] (Flashback) Shione Kouzuki**
Testimony?! But how?
**[14:03] (Flashback) Shione Kouzuki**
Don't tell me you plan to enter Koga.
**[14:08] (Flashback) Shione Kouzuki**
You get the evidence.
In exchange, I look the other way.
**[14:11] (Flashback) Shione Kouzuki**
Is that it?
**[14:13] (Flashback) Ittoki**
I am making this request of you on
Tokisada's counsel, Captain Kouzuki.
**[14:20] Shione Kouzuki**
Sir, permission to go in.
**[14:25] Juzen**
Granted.
**[14:27] Shione Kouzuki**
All agents, move in!
**[14:30] Shione Kouzuki**
Prioritize rescuing the wounded!
**[14:32] Shione Kouzuki**
Secure a route to the top floor!
**[14:38] Ittoki**
The rest is the NSC's job.
**[14:41] Ittoki**
Surrender quietly and accept your punishment.
**[14:44] Kidou**
As if a mere child...
**[14:48] Kidou**
Fine, then.
**[14:57] Ittoki**
Kousetsu!
**[14:58] Kidou**
Why?
**[15:01] Kidou**
Why do you resist?
**[15:13] Kidou**
You have no chance of winning.
**[15:14] Kidou**
You had to know you would perish eventually.
**[15:18] Kidou**
So don't fight it.
**[15:20] Ittoki**
Don't make light of me.
**[15:24] Ittoki**
What reason could I possibly have
**[15:27] Ittoki**
to give up on what I hold dear?
**[15:40] Kidou**
You invent ridiculous ideals and
persist with your revolting angel act.
**[15:46] Kidou**
Bound by fantasy, you'll die
having accomplished nothing.
**[15:50] Kidou**
Your actions
**[15:52] Kidou**
are pointless! Worthless!
**[15:56] Ittoki**
You're wrong.
**[15:58] Ittoki**
Protecting what's dear comes from
the will to preserve things.
**[16:04] Ittoki**
Risking your life to keep something going
**[16:08] Ittoki**
is what it means to live!
**[16:15] Kidou**
Don't latch onto me, you insect!
**[16:58] Tokisada**
The NSC will be here soon.
Can you hold out until then?
**[17:02] Suzaku**
*I'll*... take care of Kidou....
**[17:06] Tokisada**
Okay.
**[17:09] Suzaku**
Dammit.
**[17:13] Kidou**
Do you think I feel guilty?
**[17:19] Kidou**
You were born blessed.
**[17:22] Kidou**
I was born defective.
**[17:27] Kidou**
You're so merciful, you can't even
kill your parent's killer.
**[17:32] Kidou**
I'm so merciless, I would even kill an infant.
**[17:38] Kidou**
We turned out the way we had to.
**[17:42] Kidou**
I have not a single thing to repent.
**[17:46] Kidou**
I am who I am.
**[17:50] Ittoki**
All just excuses.
**[17:53] Ittoki**
You talk like you're the victim, like you
couldn't help it, like you're blameless.
**[18:00] Ittoki**
You know that's not true.
**[18:02] Ittoki**
You just ran away from
the unfairness of it all.
**[18:06] Ittoki**
Everyone struggles with unfairness
from the moment they're born.
**[18:10] Ittoki**
It never stops.
**[18:13] Ittoki**
Because the world isn't fair.
**[18:16] Ittoki**
But you have to tough it out.
**[18:18] Ittoki**
You have to grit your teeth and bear it.
**[18:21] Ittoki**
No matter how much it hurts...
**[18:24] Ittoki**
You have to live despite it!
**[18:30] Ittoki**
Are you okay, Kousetsu?
**[18:33] Kousetsu**
Yeah. I'll manage.
**[18:35] Kidou**
How very
**[18:37] Kidou**
kind you are.
**[18:55] Tokisada**
I did this completely on my own! Got that?
**[19:01] Ittoki**
Uncle, don't!
**[19:04] Tokisada**
This is my job.
**[19:08] Tokisada**
It doesn't have to be your burden to bear.
**[19:11] Tokisada**
You don't need a babysitter anymore, right?
**[19:15] Tokisada**
Oh... Kousetsu...
**[19:18] Tokisada**
Smile now and then.
**[19:23] Tokisada**
Welp, see ya.

**[19:28] Shione Kouzuki**

On suspicion of attacking Koga

**[19:39] Shione Kouzuki**
I swear,
**[19:41] Shione Kouzuki**
I won't let you get away!
**[19:48] Ittoki**
Ready to go?
**[19:51] Kousetsu**
Yeah.
**[19:53] Ittoki**
What'll you do now?
**[19:56] Kousetsu**
It doesn't matter.
**[19:58] Ittoki**
What do you mean?
**[20:03] Kousetsu**
I can do... anything.
**[20:07] Ittoki**
I see.

**[21:49] Shione Kouzuki**
That's good to hear.
**[21:50] Kozo**
As for Tokisada, it's been nothing
but radio silence from him.
**[21:54] Shione Kouzuki**
You guessed why I'm here.
**[21:56] Kozo**
You know, I think he's not running, but
protecting us from the shadows.
**[22:03] Shione Kouzuki**
In a certain sense, that's
very like a shinobi.
**[22:06] Kozo**
Are you still going to punish him?
**[22:09] Shione Kouzuki**
I'm just going to do my job.
**[22:13] Gantetsu**
Hey, Ryoko!
**[22:15] Gantetsu**
When you get a chance, can you
give my prosthetic a once-over?
**[22:19] Ryoko**
Sure thing!
**[22:20] Iboro**
Now then, a question for the leading
actress, Ms. Kirei Kisegawa.

Fire away!
**[22:25] Iboro**
What was your impetus
for becoming an actress?
**[22:28] Kirei**
Well...
**[22:29] Kirei**
I'm a liar, you see.
**[22:31] Iboro**
That's your reason?
**[22:34] Kirei**
So I decided to tell
lies that make people happy.
**[22:41] Suzaku**
We will now begin the meeting.

Ittoki says today's his first day at work.
**[22:50] Kousetsu**
I think he'll stick with it, but I also
feel like he might quit after three days.

What do you think, Mom?
**[23:11] Boy's Mother**
I'm so sorry! Thank you so much!
**[23:14] Ittoki**
Don't be sorry. I'm glad he's okay.
**[23:17] Ittoki**
Here. You dropped this.
**[23:19] Boy**
Thanks.
**[23:22] Boy's Mother**
Never do that again!
**[23:26] Boy**
Hey, mister,
**[23:28] Boy**
are you a ninja?
**[23:29] Boy's Mother**
Come on. What kind of question is that?
**[23:34] Ittoki**
A ninja?
***SIGN*** The End
**[23:37] Ittoki**
You know there's no such thing.
