[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.

[02:54] Reporter
Here in Chukyo Nature Park, the African
daisies have bloomed en masse.
[03:00] Reporter
This is an extremely rare phenomenon
and has drawn many visitors.
[03:01] Ittoki
Why are we watching this?
[03:02] Tokisada
It's a code.
[03:03] Ittoki
Huh?
[03:04] Kozo
They're convening a Ninja Grand Council.
[03:05] Reporter
According to experts—
[03:07] Kozo
It can only be convened on the
command of the head of the NSC.
SIGN Exhibition Days before opening: 96
Let's bloom African daisies at night!
[03:12] Kozo
The leaders of all the prominent
villages are called
[03:15] Kozo
to form a high council
of 13 ninja clan heads.
SIGN Flowers that bloom at night:
African daisies
[03:17] Kozo
The meeting decides the future
for all ninjas in Japan.
[03:23] Kozo
It has been a full 70 years
since a Council was last convened.
[03:27] Amadeus
Jesus!
[03:28] Amadeus
Come on. Are you kidding me?
[03:30] Flight Attendant
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
They haven't sniffed anything out, have they?
[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.

[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

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.
[21:14] Ittoki
As such...
SIGN Ittoki Sakuraba
[21:19] Ittoki
As an Iga Ninja and the 19th
legitimate successor to the Iga lineage,
[21:24] Ittoki
I, Ittoki Sakuraba,
wish to serve as acting chief.
[21:30] Kozo
Young Master...
[21:38] Ittoki
Just until my mother comes back.
[21:45] Karajishi
Iga Chief Yumika Sakuraba,
[21:50] Karajishi
I sentence you to death.
SIGN Episode 7:
Where Does Justice Lie?
[23:25] Kousetsu
The sun sets.
[23:27] Kousetsu
That's the signal to start.
[23:30] Kousetsu
It can't be stopped.
[23:33] Kousetsu
Next time on Shinobi no Ittoki
