SIGN NSC Headquarters
[00:23] Goshogawara
Evidence at the scene was nearly nonexistent.
[00:27] Goshogawara
Our one piece of evidence is that
lacerations from the murder weapon
[00:30] Goshogawara
are characteristic of Iga ninja sword wounds.
[00:34] Goshogawara
Accordingly, the 1st Division's
person of greatest interest is...
SIGN 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.
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.

[02:19] Shione Kouzuki
I apologize for arriving late!
[02:22] Shione Kouzuki
I am Shione Kouzuki, assigned
to this unit starting today!
[02:26] Goshogawara
Apologizing is a waste of time.
[02:28] Shione Kouzuki
Yes, sir!
[02:29] Shione Kouzuki
I'm honored to be working in the same group
[02:31] Shione Kouzuki
as the Captain of the 1st
Division and Head of the NSC!
[02:35] Goshogawara
Niceties are also a waste of time.
SIGN Koga Chief Kishinmaru Minobe's Murder - Initial investigation

[02:37] Goshogawara
I'd like you give you the task
of tailing Tokisada Kaga.
[02:41] Shione Kouzuki
Yes, sir!
[02:42] NSC 1
Hold on, sir! She's a rookie
still short on experience!
[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
It's so overly technical I'm lost
just reading the questions.
SIGN Ninja Tools Test
Example Problems
[04:14] Kousetsu
Idiot.
[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.

[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.

[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.

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

it's like a drone, so...

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...

[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

Thanking me is a waste of time.
[17:01] Goshogawara

[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

do that and sent him away.

[19:40] Tokisada
Yes.
[19:41] Tokisada
I obtained intel from Saiga's leader.

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

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.
