I am Sarutobi Sasuke.
The grandson of the legendary Ninja, Sarutobi Sasuke.
His name is also Sasuke.
To rescue Oichi and the Takanami clan, Sasuke has gone
in to the arch enemy, Hattori Banzo's headquarter.
Die! Sarutobi.
There is no way Sasuke is dead.
Return... He will return... We promised so.
She keeps waiting for Sasuke.
Sasuke will return, right?
Yeah.
Mom! I am saved!
I am back.
Princess.
"Shinobi is like a wind in the society."
"Know the people and gather friends. Suppress own and promote others."
"That is the essence of Shinobi"
Sarutobi the Third
We got the both pieces to nail the Commissioner.
Why don't we get moving?
Ah...
Nothing is finished yet. But...
Waiting for the time of the providence.
Time of the providence?
The countersign pieces for secret Chinese trade are stolen.
Banzo! How dare could you show your face in front of me!
A useless crap!
Do you have anything to say?
I can cut you Iga people off any time I want.
Oichi, after this situation is settled, what are you planning to do?
Do you want to live with Sasuke?
Eh?
But, Sasuke is a Shinobi, after all.
That's alright, though.
It's fine to decide your own future by yourself.
Teach me the essences.
The essences?
The essences of “Hiden Shichijutsu”.
Just like dad was taught from your father Sarutobi Sasuke, teach me the same!
Ninn.
The essence "Ninn" (stealth) means to hide self both physically and psychologically.
Get the enemy by blending in to the dark without being noticed.
Sasuke! Eh?
That's not fair!
Fuu.
Wind cannot be caught.
It can change depending on the situation.
Katsu.
"Katsu" (vigor) is to use opponent's force to your advantage.
Dou.
"Dou" means to assimilate.
Being able to understand opponent’s need and to feel what they want.
Jinn.
Do you want to get me?
If human has two different minds, it would become fire.
Farther more, if you shake the fire, it would become a disaster.
Ouch! Hot! Wow! Hot! Hot!
Satsu.
Before important matter, you must deprive self.
Don't get your own emotion interfere with decision making process.
The essence, "Tenn" (sky, above, providence).
How can I get the essence, "Tenn"?
Tenn
Since Onimaru-san asked me, I have been investigating…
Ronins in the Miyako has been behaving suspiciously.
Old Keisetsu, too.
Sensei, too? Really?
That means...
They may be planning to get up to fight.
Rise in arms?
Finally.
I have been waiting for this moment.
It's finally the time of the providence.
We will finish it all.
Sasuke.
We are leaving shortly.
You became splendid.
Not at all...
Do you remember?
When you said about becoming Sasuke not like before.
Yes.
You became one.
Princess.
Lets
Mr. Keisetsu is finally up!
Why me?
Ronins finally revolted against the Commissioner’s oppression.
The number of ronins gathered in Kyoto was way more
than what Kitakura Harushige would have imagined.
Captured ronins are getting lauder.
Kill them. Yeah, but...
Damn ronins!
They are barricading in many places and planning to force direct petition.
Do something about it.
It is already out of our hands. We can no longer suppress them.
You failed, Banzo.
I have been following your orders, Sir Kitakura.
Shut up!
Fine. Leave! I don't want to see your face.
“Leave” means?
Never to show your face again.
You are fired!
How about the promise you made to promote our clan to be a Shogunal retainer?
Shut up!
You, worthless low class.
What?
What are you looking at?
I am the head of the Takanami clan Kyoto Mansion, Umemiya Shuzen.
I am here to see Sir Kitakura Harushige.
No! Everybody, No!
Mr. Keisetsu! Mr. Keisetsu!
Fire!
Father!
What an awful thing...
Sensei!
Sasuke-san!
Don't get caught. Split.
Saizo, Saboten.
Saboten, that way.
Saizo!
This way! Hurry!
Are you OK?
Hurry, that way.
Saizo, take care of Keisetsu!
Saboten, guard everybody!
Today, I am here to discuss...
About your desire toward our Takanami clan's port.
What are you talking about?
Conspiring to deprive the Takanami clan for conducting illegal
foreign trade to enrich your own wealth is no forgiving matter.
Quiet!
Farther more, suppressing ronins ruthlessly without
knowing their suffering to gain own power.
You are not worthy of being a samurai.
You are pissing me off!
Alert! Alert! Alert!
Intruder alert! Get it.
We have captured a Chinese merchant, Cho-Shuryu.
Depending on your answer, all your misconducts
will be notified to the officials in Edo.
Could you please dismiss your plan of depriving the Takanami clan, or not?
Please give me your answer!
Understood.
What did you understand?
I will give up... The Takanami clan.
Sir Umemiya Shuzen, did you hear that?
Yeah!
Precisely.
We Shinobis are always keeping our eyes on you.
Don't forget that.
Sasuke-san, thank you. I didn't have to die.
That's good.
This society won't stay like this forever.
That's right.
Sensei, survive and live your life.
If you survive, something will change.
But, where shall we go now...
There is one!
Ahead of this road. A village where I grew up in.
I will take you there if you want.
Not much there, though...
Sensei.
OK.
Fortune awaits you everywhere.
Home is where you make it, right!
You all, is it OK?
This way. Follow me.
Farewell.
See you again.
Banzo. The commissioner’s conspiracy is all up in the air.
Quit working for him.
I am not interested in such a thing.
I am killing you.
Now is the time to settle the long lasting rivalry against Sarutobi family.
What do you gain from that?
What did you get from winning the battle by killing enemies?
Don't gloss it over like that. This is the only way for us Shinobis.
Die!
After all, you are a decedent of loser.
Die and regret for not standing on the same side with the political power.
No! I am a grandson of a man who fought by following the providence.
A son of a man who fought for the virtue.
I am...
Sarutobi Sasuke!!
You want to become Sasuke who is not like before...
You must be able to do it.
Kill me.
Give me the finishing blow.
No.
Are you still a Shinobi!?
I do not kill anyone.
That is...
My Shinobi prerogative.
Sasuke.
Our lord said he was very grateful toward you.
Um, yeah...
Because of your hard work, our clan was saved.
Thus, he said, if you want, you could join our clan as a fellow comrade.
A comrade?
What's the matter?
Um... No...
Do I need to answer now?
I know, I know…
Why don’t you discuss with Oichi or something...
Sasuke.
Yes.
Job well done!!
I wonder if I was able to become a Gorota-rock.
Eh?
Princess told me.
There is no such a thing as useless in this world.
I said it.
I didn't imagine things would turn out to be this way.
Agree...
To think back now, so many things have happened in this short period.
Yes.
Princess
Yes.
About my future after this...
I have decided.
Ah... I don't get it!
Isn't it a pity to waste this chance?
You would be able to stay with Oichi.
That's OK.
What about you, Saizo?
I am going to Osaka and study business.
I will stay in Kyoto.
There are a lot of cute guys here.
Don't fall for a monk again.
Yeah.
Where are you going, Sasuke?
Not sure... It's up to which way the wind blows.
The society for a Shinobi to live as a Shinobi may be finished already...
That may be true...
Sasuke is trying to seek his own future by himself.
That's how it should be.
Did you tell him that?
I think I did.
Then, what's your plan?
Continue staying in Miyako.
Alone?
This one is you.
How about the other one?
You!
Sasuke.
Princess.
I had one thing to tell you.
I will stay in Miyako and train myself to be a good wife.
Ah... yeah.
I was in love with someone, but he dumped me.
However, days I have spent together with him were the treasure of my life.
Over the years, when I have children and
grandchildren, I would like to tell them about it.
Princess.
Farewell, Sarutobi Sasuke.
Yes. Oichi-sama.
I will watch you. Go ahead.
Thank you.
