Forget! Forget, Miharu!
I want to stay apathetic...
...towards everything.
I...
My name is Yamase.
I will be replacing Sakamoto-sensei due to his extended illness.
This means I will be your substitute teacher for some time.
Miharu-kun.
Rokujo Miharu-kun.
Want to go home together?
Who are you?
Oh come on. You haven't remembered my name yet?
I'm Aizawa Kouichi.
The 'zawa' in Aizawa is the more difficult kanji.
The 'kou' in Kouichi is the same as in rainbow.
Being first in alphabetical order has always been a pet-peeve of mine since kindergarten.
Miharu-kun! Wait up! Hey!
Wait up, Miharu-kun.
Would it be okay if...
It's okay if I call you Miharu-kun, right?
I don't mind if you call me Kouichi.
Actually...
There's something I wanted to ask you.
My aunt told me to never lend money out to others.
No, that's not what I was going to ask.
It's not about borrowing money.
Yamase-sensei.
Excuse me.
Yup, goodbye.
I want you to join our association.
Association?
Yeah. Well, actually...
Aizawa!
As to be expected from Kumohira-sensei.
It's from my training back in the day.
Now, Rokujo.
You should train as well.
And to do that, you should join our association.
I was planning on asking Kumohira-sensei to be our club advisor.
It's fine if you think of us as more or less a PE club.
However, it's more broad than that.
It's not focused on one single thing.
Kendo, Karate, Aikido.
A martial art based on those...
Again!?
It might be a martial art, but our objective isn't records or medals.
The main focus is to purely train yourself.
So what is it?
A place where ninjas can practice ninja techniques, a ninja club.
You really look like you don't like the sounds of it...
Oh, Shiratama.
Your cat?
Please give it some thought.
You can give me your answer anytime.
See ya.
The wind is starting to stir...
Delicious! Miharu-chan, you're skills are inching ever closer to your aunt's.
You're still in 8th grade, right?
How admirable.
Note: TV Show Sign, This Country's Future.
So, as a politician, what do you think about the issue, Hattori Toujuurou-san?
Indeed.
It wouldn't be too far-fetched to say the faults of a capitalist society lie in its past.
The world as a whole must create one history, one country, and one religion.
This would, of course, require a great power.
But if you can obtain that, the future will most definitely change.
Hattori-san is always so amazing.
He is a rather good man.
Although, I don't have a clue what he's talking about.
Hello.
Welcome!
Oh, Thobari-sensei!
Yo, Rokujo.
I'm sorry. My hand slipped.
If you want members, you can ask someone else.
Rokujo, that's not my reason for asking. It's because you're being targeted.
Can't you feel it too?
Sensei.
Are you trying to say that you're the one targeting me?
Ow!
Even now, ninjas continue to live within the shadows.
Oh, I see.
Anyhow, listen up. There are two sides to everything.
Ninjas change their acts so that they can live on.
It's just that they don't reveal themselves in the real world.
Since childhood, I learnt the way of the ninja from my grandfather.
We ninja strive to exist within the real world.
And we call our own world "Nabari".
Kumohira-sensei, you're a ninja?
If you're a ninja where's your proof?
Proof?
Nin-nin.
How do I put it...
Wow! You're the real thing!
I'm trying to have a serious discussion with you here!
Listen. If something happens, its already too late.
Happens?
What will?
You might be killed!
The scene where the policeman said that sure was great.
Right?
Do you have business with me?
Yamase-sensei.
Have you been doing some kind of training?
Amazing senses you have there, Aizawa-kun.
Oh no.
What is it?
Note: Katsuo-bushi, small pieces of sliced dried bonito.
We're all out of katsuo-bushi.
I'll go buy some then.
Wait, Rokujo.
It hurts, Sensei...
It's true that I do feel something.
Like I'm being watched by someone...
Like I'm watching someone...
Awaken...
Soon...
Awaken.
Who?
Sensei, what are you doing?
Aizawa Kouichi.
Are you the Hijutsu?
Note: Hijutsu, Hidden Technique.
Note: Kairoushuu, Ash Wolf Clan.
To be expected of the Kairoushuu.
Your information travels fast.
So, it is you.
Who knows.
Don't play dumb! Spit it out!
Awaken.
Awaken...
Who are you?
Kouichi?
Yamase-sensei.
Miharu-kun! Run!
I see.
Rokujo Miharu. So you're the Hijutsu!
Miharu-kun!
O five elements of nature, lend me your strength.
With my power alone, I cannot carry two people very far.
I dont know what's going on...
But I'm the one being targeted, right?
Miharu-kun!
I would like to ask for your cooperation.
I don't know of any Hijutsu though.
We only have business with what's inside of you.
Once we have captured you...
We can prove that the Kairoushuu are worthy of becoming the rulers of Nabari.
Ruler of Nabari?
Miharu-kun!
Kouichi?
You're coming with us.
No!
Why don't you kill them?
Don't tell me...
He can activate it already?
You don't like being used, right?
Miharu...
Who are you?
Everyone wants you.
Who the hell are you?
What is this sensation?
You have to fight.
Stop.
Relax. I will protect you.
H-He activated it!
Are you serious!?
Rokujo!
Why?
Kouichi...
Rokujo! Aizawa!
Stop!
Soul Seal!
What is this?
All you have to do is wish for it.
I exist to give you everything you desire.
It could be knowledge you don't possess.
Time. Nature. Even the secrets of people's hearts.
If you desire it,
Shinrabanshou will grant you that desire.
What do you desire?
Tell me your desires, Miharu.
Forget!
You idiot.
I'm sorry.
I was trying to place a part of the Hijutsu into the katana and seal it.
Did you think you could stand up to that with your level of power?
Miharu. What is wrong?
Why do you not desire anything?
Rokujo!
Fission!
You were so close...
I don't need anything.
You will definitely call me.
Definitely.
I thought that was the only way to stop the Hijiutsu from activating.
I'm really sorry.
But I really did try to avoid hitting any bones.
That wasn't an activation.
It was just the wisdom of the Hijutsu overflowing.
Rokujo doesn't have the power to activate it in his current state.
That too, is part of the Hijutsu's power.
What's Hijutsu?
Note: Shinrabanshou, means all things in nature.
Shinrabanshou...
A weapon created by ninja a very long time ago; an ultimate ninja technique.
That ultimate power, the Shinrabanshou, is hidden within you.
Well, even though it's a scroll, its not written in ink.
This scroll has already fused itself inside your body.
But, using such a large amount of power is hard to control.
It's hard enough to get your body to accept the scroll in the first place.
Then, activating it into some kind of technique is even harder.
According to the legend, those who have tried to force it to activate...
...had their brains destroyed.
But why would it choose someone like me?
I don't really need this Hijutsu.
Take it out already.
That's right. It might be hard to take it all out at once.
But bit by bit.
That's impossible.
If it were possible...
...someone would have done it long ago.
The reason why there are still ninja in this day and age...
...is all due to rivalling villages trying to obtain the Hijutsu.
We should pay most attention to the village related to the creation of the Hijutsu.
The ones working on their own.
Kairoushuu.
Kairoushuu?
That's right.
The people who attacked us earlier.
Right now, they're the ones holding the most power in Nabari.
Kairoushuu's objective...
...is to obtain the Hijutsu.
Which belongs to you, Rokujo Miharu.
Remember this. Never give the Hijutsu to another.
And, do not give it to me.
Rokujo. Your boring life is over.
You will stand on the throne of Nabari!
And stand on the throne of Nabari!
Rokujo!
Become the ruler of Nabari!
Rokujo?
Aizawa! Rokujo has...
I refuse to take part in this.
I've already decided not to get involved.
Relax.
It's not like we're going to kill you.
I'll just bring you to my comrades.
But before that, so that you never forget me.
I'll cut you a parting gift...
...right on your face!
After your mission is completed you are to return.
It's one of the Ninja's oaths. Have you forgotten?
Don't you dare touch my cute students!
Return and tell your boss.
I will not hand over Rokujo Miharu!
Miharu-kun.
Are you starting to understand the situation you're in?
Why?
Why are you two get hurt for my sake?
Quit it already. It has nothing to do with you.
What do you want?
I am a ninja from the village of Banten.
Kumohira Thobari Durandal.
In the real world, I work as an English teacher at Banten Middle School.
Become the ruler of Nabari and bring an end to this history of conflict between ninja for the Hijutsu.
I shall follow my way of the ninja.
And pledge my life and honor.
I pledge to thee.
Oh yeah, katsuo-bushi, katuso-bushi.
Hold your horses!
I just want to return things to the way they were.
Yamase-sensei was unfortunately involved in a sudden accident.
And thus, I have become your new substitute teacher.
So that means, Rokujo.
Join our association.
Huh?
It's still an accomplishment to discover who is the bearer of the Hijutsu.
And now...
For the first time in 10 years let us lift the blind.
The time for our Kairoushuu to obtain the Shinrabansou has come.
What is an enemy?
What do they think about?
I doubt I should ever have to know such things.
That's what a ninja is, right?
Next time: Raimei Arrives.
