[00:03] (Flashback) Onikobe
    Behind you!
[00:06] (Flashback) Saruta
    You'll go last.
[00:08] (Flashback) Saruta
    Is that all you've got, Onikobe?!

    Ninja Chief Kato.
[00:13] (Flashback) Kato
    What's the holdup, Ninja Lab?!
[00:15] (Flashback) Kato
    Hurry! Fire Escape!
[00:25] Hibi
    You fell for it!
[00:28] Hibi
    My name...
[00:29] Hibi
    is Miracle "Thunder" Hibi!
[00:39] Kuro
    A dual-edged blade that fully
    electrocutes him, as well...
[00:43] Kuro
    Launched through the
    electric parka made for Hibi,
[00:46] Kuro
    with his electrical resistance
    born from a lightning strike.
[00:50] Kuro
    The question is, how effective will it be on UN?
[01:07] Hibi
    Wh-Where is this strength coming from?!
[01:11] Hibi
    And the electricity's not working!
[01:18] Hibi
    Whoa—
[01:25] Hibi
    Life... flashing before my eyes...
    Master's... bald-ass head...
[01:35] Yamada
    Sorry, my bad! I'm not supposed to kill you.
[01:40] Yamada
    Next.
[01:42] Yamada
    That'd be you, Kuro-kun.
[01:45] Kuro
    Please-wait-one-moment.

[03:23] Noguchi
    I think I just heard
    screaming in the distance...
[03:28] Sato
    Yeah.
[03:30] Noguchi
    Why'd you leave class, Sato-san?
[03:34] Sato
    I thought I might land a scoop
    for the school newspaper.
[03:39] Noguchi
    I see.
[03:41] Sato
    What about you, Noguchi-san?
[03:43] Noguchi
    Me? Well, the director told me to run in
    the direction that had the fewest people.
[03:50] Noguchi
    Also, to follow the orders from
    the blackboard eraser cleaner...
[03:54] Noguchi
    which brought me here.
[03:55] Sato
    From the... blackboard eraser cleaner?
[03:57] Noguchi
    I-It's the truth, though!
[03:59] Sato
    O-Okay.
[04:00] Noguchi
    Come on! Stop avoiding eye contact!
[04:03] Noguchi
    I think the director probably
    put some kind of radio in it...
[04:08] Noguchi
    Don't walk away!
[04:11] Sato
    I actually love that kinda
    thing, so... don't worry.
[04:16] Noguchi
    Things have just been weird since
    Kuro-kun came by my room that night.
[04:26] Suzuki
    Sorry to trouble you...
[04:30] Suzuki
    but I could use a lift.
[04:35] Suzuki
    Noguchi, do you not know
    how to support someone?
[04:39] Suzuki
    This is why you can't score.
[04:41] Noguchi
    What does me scoring have to do with it?!
[04:43] Noguchi
    Sato-san, you help, too!
[04:47] Suzuki
    Nah. Sato's gonna be recording
    everything that happens, so that's out.
[04:52] Suzuki
    Better to lean on the girl who was
    at the top of the class caste system,
[04:55] Suzuki
    despite not being that hot or charming,
    and then let it all slip through her fingers.
[05:00] Noguchi
    Excuse me?!
[05:01] Noguchi
    Look, I don't know who you are, but—
[05:03] Sato
    Noguchi-san...
[05:05] Sato
    That look is perfect.
[05:08] Noguchi
    No photos!
[05:17] Noguchi
    Okay, we made it to the gym.
[05:19] Suzuki
    So far so good, I guess.
[05:23] Suzuki
    Sato. Make sure to get a good shot
    of my beautiful face, wracked with pain.
[05:27] Sato
    Got it.
[05:28] Noguchi
    Are we not in a rush?
[05:31] Director
    Looks like you made it safely.
[05:34] Director
    There's a door inside the room
    across from the stage.
[05:38] Director
    Head there.
[05:39] Sato
    It really did talk! Although
    this one's a fire extinguisher.
[05:42] Suzuki
    He's got stuff set up all over school.
[05:45] Suzuki
    Creepy as it is, it came in handy this time.
[05:48] Director
    The fire extinguisher is actually
    wireless, so take it with you.
[05:53] Suzuki
    Noguchi, get the fire extinguisher.
[05:55] Noguchi
    Why me?!
[05:57] Sato
    Noguchi-san, that was a great expression.
[05:59] Noguchi
    No photos!
[06:10] Noguchi
    Hang on!
[06:12] Suzuki
    Look, if you hang tough,
    I can introduce you to a hot guy.
[06:15] Noguchi
    For real?!
[06:16] Director
    There'll be a small door beside the stairs.
[06:20] Director
    It's not locked, so head in there.
[06:23] Sato
    I found it.
[06:28] Sato
    There's a stairway that heads underground.
[06:31] Sato
    What should we do?
[06:34] Suzuki
    We'll just have to go.
[06:37] Director
    You three don't have much time.
[06:40] Director
    If you want to escape this
    school alive, hurry along.
[06:44] Sato
    Is this... beneath the gym?
[06:47] Sato
    And it goes on for a long way.
[06:50] Director
    This is directly beneath the gymnasium.
[06:53] Director
    But if Escape attacks,
    you'll still be caught in the blast.
[06:57] Director
    Keep moving.
[06:59] Noguchi
    Hey, what's this "Escape" thing?
[07:02] Suzuki
    Escape is a top-secret orbital
    weapons platform run by NIN.
[07:07] Suzuki
    Anyone who knows about it
[07:09] Suzuki
    tends to disappear, along with their entire
    family, so you're better off not knowing.
[07:14] Noguchi
    But you just said it! And I already heard!
[07:18] Suzuki
    All jokes aside, if we make it out of this alive,
[07:23] Suzuki
    I'll guarantee your survival.
[07:26] Noguchi
    Are you okay?
[07:28] Director
    Even getting to the closest exit will
    take you thirty minutes at this pace.
[07:34] Director
    Can you last that long?
[07:35] Suzuki
    Awfully considerate of you, for an enemy.
[07:39] Director
    An enemy, huh? Before the war,
    we were all the same organization.
[07:43] Suzuki
    You realize how long ago that was?
[07:45] Suzuki
    You probably weren't even born then.
[07:47] Director
    My father was one of the shinobi
    in favor of continuing the war.
[07:50] Director
    I've been influenced by him,
    for better or for worse.
[07:53] Suzuki
    It's because those warmongers went
    underground and kept up a pointless resistance
[07:57] Suzuki
    that the world of shinobi
    still doesn't know peace.
[08:03] Director
    You really think our absence would be
    all it takes for you to have peace?
SIGN    Nurse's Office
[08:11] Mako
    It's clear. Let's move on.
[08:15] Hachiya
    Right.
[08:18] Mako
    For now, let's find the director...
    rather, the clairaudience user.
[08:22] Hachiya
    Mako-chan, what's the connection between
    your organization and the clairaudience user?
[08:27] Mako
    Well, he's like a satellite unit...
    except he's an individual.
[08:33] Mako
    He's kept at a comfortable
    distance, basically.
[08:36] Sato
    Um, can I ask something?
[08:39] Suzuki
    Go ahead.
[08:41] Sato
    Does this mean that the world
    of ninja split in two after the war,
[08:44] Sato
    and now those two sides are enemies?
[08:48] Sato
    Sorry if I got it wrong.
[08:49] Suzuki
    That covers it.
[08:50] Director
    Sure does.
[08:52] Noguchi
    So casual! Why the sudden lack of gravitas?!
[08:55] Hachiya
    Why's he been here for decades?
[09:00] Mako
    I'd think NIN would know more about it.
[09:04] Mako
    This place used to be a facility
    for the Japanese army.
[09:07] Mako
    It was an underground laboratory for
    the organization that would become NIN,
[09:11] Mako
    as well as a communication hub for UN.
[09:16] Mako
    It's hallowed ground
    for all three organizations.
[09:20] Noguchi
    What even is this place?
[09:24] Suzuki
    A secret exit to the underground
    tunnels used by Under Ninja,
[09:27] Suzuki
    and the remains of a secret workshop.
[09:29] Director
    Impressive.
[09:32] Mako
    Any guard for that kind of place would
    need ties to all three organizations.
[09:37] Hachiya
    "So the clairaudience user
    has ties to UN, too?"
[09:42] Mako
    I'm just boots on the ground.
    I don't have all the details.
[09:48] Mako
    Sorry to change the subject, but...
[10:00] Mako
    I believe he's here.
[10:08] Mako
    Stay behind me.
[10:13] Mako
    I've never resented my lack
    of ability like I have today,
[10:17] Mako
    but I'll do whatever it takes
    to absorb his attack.
[10:20] Mako
    Use that chance to get away, Shion-kun!
[10:25] Saruta
    Hiding behind a girl's skirt?
    Damn, you're one privileged little bastard!
[10:30] Saruta
    Hachiya Shion, the grandson of Tara,
    one of the seven NIN leaders.
[10:36] Saruta
    My real target...
[10:39] Saruta
    is you!
[10:47] Hachiya
    I know.
[11:10] Saruta
    Hopping off my shoulder when I'm invisible...
[11:13] Saruta
    Seems like a risky move, grandkid!
[11:18] Hachiya
    You went a little kill-crazy.
    The smell of blood is all over you.
[11:22] Hachiya
    And in close-range combat, you don't need
    to see someone to tell where they are.
[11:27] Hachiya
    Didn't you undergo nighttime CQB training?
[11:31] Saruta
    I'm impressed, grandkid!
[11:33] Saruta
    But I guess nobody would follow a dumbass,
    even if he was next in line for the top.
[11:38] Mako
    I couldn't tell at this range at all...
[11:40] Mako
    And I hope my own body odor was okay.
[11:43] Hachiya
    I'm your real target, then?
    Who put you up to this?
[11:49] Saruta
    Gotta say, I'm amazed a lowly ex-genin like
    myself gets to talk to a big shot like you.
[11:54] Saruta
    Just goes to show you never know
    what turns life is gonna take!
[11:58] Hachiya
    That life has just about run out, in your case.
[12:15] Hachiya
    Escape has locked on to you.
[12:18] Saruta
    You're bluffing. They're not gonna
    fire when you're right here.
[12:22] Hachiya
    I would think you'd understand
    how ruthless NIN can be.

[13:00] Ranran
    Margin of error is +/- 10 meters.
[13:03] Ozu
    Aw, come on!
[13:06] Ozu
    Don't you dare catch Hachiya-kun in this!
[13:08] Ozu
    Cancel the shot! Right now!
[13:09] Ranran
    I can't operate Escape from here.
[13:12] Ranran
    And fire control requires
    a jonin's authorization.
[13:17] Ozu
    I gotta figure this out!
    What are the bosses thinking?
[13:21] Ozu
    Are they cutting Hachiya Shion off?
[13:25] Ozu
    With the successful brain transplant of
    Tara, head of the seven NIN leaders,
[13:28] Ozu
    the succession system might be finished.
[13:31] Ozu
    Is this part of a clash between the old
    administration and the potential new one?
[13:45] Hachiya
    Mako! Shoot him!
[13:46] Mako
    Right!
[13:51] Saruta
    That weapon's a projectile?
[14:08] Ranran
    The targeting signal is gone.
[14:11] Ranran
    Escape's firing sequence
    is automatically shutting down.
[14:25] Hachiya
    He must've struck her as he ran...
[14:30] Hachiya
    Mako, I would've died if it wasn't for you.
[14:33] Hachiya
    You have my thanks as the future head of
    the seven NIN leaders, Hachiya Tara Shion.
[14:47] Hachiya
    I will never forget you.
    Please watch over me.
[14:52] Hachiya
    Until the day I am the leader of the seven.
[14:57] Noguchi
    Exit... Where's the exit?
[15:00] Suzuki
    Over there. Look at that tunnel.
[15:04] Suzuki
    They're filled with concrete now,
[15:07] Suzuki
    but they used to lead all over the place.
[15:10] Suzuki
    I heard there was one that
    went all the way to Nagano.
[15:17] Suzuki
    Let's take a break.
[15:19] Suzuki
    Anyway, this is our best hope for an exit,
[15:21] Suzuki
    because there are plenty of other
    holes like that leading out of here.
[15:27] Sato
    Um... I have another question.
[15:30] Sato
    What did the secret workshop make?
[15:33] Suzuki
    I could tell you,
[15:35] Suzuki
    but I think our fire extinguisher
    probably knows better.
[15:38] Director
    Take a look at the massive space you're in.
[15:42] Director
    What comes to mind?
[15:45] Noguchi
    It's so huge...
[15:47] Sato
    Yeah.
[15:48] Suzuki
    They manufactured counterfeit bills.
[15:50] Noguchi
    You answered anyway?!
[15:52] Suzuki
    In the 1980s, when people above ground
    were enjoying the so-called bubble economy,
[15:57] Suzuki
    these guys were down here,
    steadily churning out counterfeit yen.
[16:02] Suzuki
    There's even a theory saying that's
    how the bubble actually burst.
[16:07] Suzuki
    Theories on how it turned out vary. Maybe the
    copies were so good, no one ever noticed...
[16:11] Suzuki
    Maybe someone noticed, but let it continue.
[16:13] Sato
    That's a lot of theories.
[16:15] Suzuki
    Anyway, since the bubble burst,
    Japan's economy has been trending downward.
[16:20] Suzuki
    And at the same time,
    UN has secured access to massive funding.
[16:23] Director
    Although we paid no small cost in personnel.
[16:29] Director
    The battle when NIN finally discovered
    these tunnels... was gruesome.
[16:36] Director
    That was before they had Escape, after all.
[16:40] Director
    A lot of the tunnels were bombed,
    burying people alive inside them.
[16:46] Director
    The women and children who
    were working in the workshop
[16:49] Director
    were slaughtered without mercy, too.
[16:53] Suzuki
    You make it sound like you were there.
[16:55] Director
    That's because I was. I saw it myself.
[17:01] Suzuki
    I see.
[17:02] Suzuki
    I think I understand why you're here now.
[17:07] Director
    As the sole survivor, the government,
    NIN, and UN decided
[17:13] Director
    that my tangential relationship to all three
[17:15] Director
    earned me a role as the
    gravekeeper for this place.
[17:19] Suzuki
    Tell me, girls,
[17:21] Suzuki
    doesn't this place seem a little big
    for just printing counterfeit bills?
[17:26] Noguchi
    More questions?
[17:27] Sato
    I mean... it's not like
    I've ever made any myself.
[17:30] Suzuki
    When it comes to making counterfeit yen,
[17:32] Suzuki
    the printing and ink can be handled
    with standard equipment.
[17:37] Suzuki
    The kind that's easy to acquire.
    The real trick comes down to the paper.
[17:42] Suzuki
    The ingredients for and manufacture
    of the paper is difficult.
[17:46] Suzuki
    What NIN was shocked to find
    when they discovered this place
[17:50] Suzuki
    was a massive paper-producing operation,
    bigger than what even we could manage.

[20:21] Kuro
    I guess the poison darts didn't work, either.
[20:24] Kuro
    The waiting didn't seem to matter.
[20:35] Kuro
    So it's not just electricity.
    She's resistant to poison, too.
[20:40] Kuro
    Wait, look at those muscles.
    Maybe the dart didn't even penetrate?
[20:45] Kuro
    This sucks.
[20:46] Kuro
    I was hoping to chip away at her stamina,
    but that's not gonna fly with this monster.
[20:52] Yamada
    Wow, amazing! You use swords, Kuro-kun?
[20:55] Yamada
    Hang on a sec.
[20:57] Kuro
    Hell no, I'm not waiting. What're you, stupid?
