**[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.
***SIGN*** Koga Holdings
Sales Director Housen Ban
**[10:09] Housen**
Suppress your bloodlust, Suzaku.
**[10:11] Suzaku**
I'm attempting to.
**[10:13] Housen**
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**
Will I really be okay?
**[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.
**[13:34] Store Employee**
Yes?
**[13:35] Ittoki**
Where can I find the "ninja meal?"
**[13:40] Store Employee**
Right this way.
***SIGN*** Caution!
***SIGN*** Caution!
***SIGN*** Automatic. Tap to open
**[13:43] Store Employee**
Go straight and all the way back.
**[13:45] Ittoki**
Okay.
**[13:47] Ittoki**
Is this really the place?
**[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.
**[15:11] Ittoki**
S-Same to y—
**[15:17] Tsubaki**
Let's try our best,
**[15:20] Tsubaki**
Sakuraba-senpai.
**[15:22] Ittoki**
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!
**[18:01] Ittoki**
Water 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?
