    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.

    Apologizing is a waste of time.

[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

[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

[10:15] Kusunoki
    To be honest, I thought people like me
    from a small village couldn't do anything.
[10:21] Kusunoki
    But...

    seeing you made me
    feel like maybe we could.

    When you get old, you

[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.

[19:40] 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.

[20:53] 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.
[23:34] Kousetsu
    Next time on Shinobi no Ittoki 
    episode 5: "Cycle of Pain."
