You've certainly...
...managed to make quite a mess of my garden.
I think it's about time for you to leave here.
Farewell.
Begin treating the wounded and confirm the current situation.
Hurry!
Understood.
I believe the wound will heal, however...
...we will have to wait and see if your eyesight comes back.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Uh...
Oh, there's no reason for you to worry about your teacher.
His body had several lacerations and he suffered a concussion to his skull.
Even the wound to his ribs is deep.
But, before he could have his head blown away...
...our leader saved him, just in the nick of time.
Since you yelled out so loudly, we could easily figure out where you were.
Juuji-kun.
Leader.
How is everyone doing?
Current ninja herbal medicines surpass modern medicine, so...
...everything will be all right.
I-I'm okay.
That's good to hear.
How is Raimei-kun?
Fortunately her injuries were minor.
Pleasure to meet you. You must be Rokujo Miharu-kun.
It must've be tough.
Is it all right?
The Kinjutsu scroll was stolen.
Well, there wasn't much that could be done, so don't let it bother you.
What a miscalculation...
Who would've guessed there'd be someone using the Kira technique.
Kira?
Yes, by injecting your opponent with your ki...
...you can focus the damage solely to their body.
It's a very frightening technique.
However, you must trade your own life force in exchange.
That makes it twice as scary, right?
That's why they're called Kinjutsu.
It's a good thing that the enemy ran off.
It's possible that even I could've been beaten up.
As our leader you should speak with some dignity.
Leader, is now a good time?
I understand you're here to borrow some of my wisdom, but...
...we'll have to save it for later.
There was an unexpected number of injured people and some even died.
In order to explain this event to the people of the real world...
We'll have to cook up some reasons for the deaths.
Are you wondering why no one is crying or feeling sad for their friends who've just died?
No.
As ninjas, we're prepared for such ends.
I'm done contemplating!
That black-clothed bastard...
I'll definitely win next time!
Your futons are here.
This isn't a hotel so help yourselves.
We've finished cleaning the two rooms next door so you can each have your own room if you'd like.
Later.
Thank you very much.
Let's go, Kouichi.
Eh? Where?
To train.
What? Now?
We don't have time to be resting if we want to become stronger!
Wa-
I'm injured here.
Are you coming too, Miharu?
Oh, right, then just stay here and rest up.
Let me rest up too!
Fuuma ninjas...
Everyone was injured...
...and some killed.
That person wearing those thick clothes...
...what was he?
Yoite...
Does Kairoushuu really want the Shinrabanshou that badly?
Stop!
That was the first time I've ever screamed so loudly.
My throat hurts.
My fellow companions.
As you all know, today our Kinjutsu scroll, Tenpenka, was stolen from us.
Note: Tenpenka, literally means change or mutation.
Additionally, today we have lost several of our friends.
The Iga village has chosen a user for their Kinjutsu, Kira.
Its power is beyond exceptional.
As brave-hearted Fuuma ninja who live in this ever-changing era...
...and as fellow ninjas living in the world of Nabari...
...we must suppress Kairoushuu's hunger for power.
And stop the utilization of the Hijutsu.
This is our mission.
My fellow brave-hearted people, please lend me your strength!
Now.
Let me introduce our guest.
The owner of the Shinrabanshou, Rokujo Miharu-kun.
That kid's the one?
Someone that small has the Hijutsu?
In order to free himself from the control of the Hijutsu, Shinrabanshou...
...he came all the way from Banten village.
Feel free to speak, Miharu-kun.
The Hijutsu was created by someone a long time ago, right?
There should be no need for people to risk their lives...
...and die for it, right?
Even though he's the one who's in so much danger, he such a kind child.
So admirable.
No, I'm not.
I've heard you've written several scrolls about ninja techniques.
Yes, other than just the Kinjutsus of other villages, I know almost everything there is to know about ninja techniques.
Then, when you're able to remove Shinrabanshou from my body...
...wouldn't you want it for yourself?
Miharu-kun... Do you not trust me?
To think such things...
Isn't it obvious I would want it!?
The scroll that holds the wisdom of all creation.
After going through the hardships of living in the world of Nabari...
...it would be the greatest reward ever.
Since it's a reward, isn't it all right for me to use it for a little?
Come on, Miharu-kun.
If I were to obtain the Hijutsu...
Will you hear me out?
I see! So you will hear me out!
I'll beat the crap out of the Kairoushuu.
For those people to come walking into my village...
It amuses me to be able to change time and history.
He's always like this, so don't worry about it.
Would you like to try take over the world!?
There's nothing we can do when he becomes like that.
Oh! I almost forgot, also I would...
...get all the women in the world to fall in love with me.
I'll put the "Fuuma Village Paradise Dream" into action!
I get goosebumps thinking about it.
If I could do that I would want that wisdom so bad.
Understand, Miharu-kun?
Humans have a limit to the amount of knowledge and intelligence they can hold.
No matter how hard I try...
...I can only know as much any other human.
However, Miharu-kun.
You currently hold knowledge that is beyond what a human could attain.
A knowledge that surpasses human capacity could also be known as God.
Everyone has something they desire.
Of course, I'd be glad to help you out.
However, you understand, right?
For someone who has no desires in the world of Nabari, it'd be best if you became stronger.
I might come after you too if my feelings happen to change.
Miharu.
You shouldn't let it bug you too much.
Kotarou is lying about 90 percent of the time.
Kouichi, if I were able to use the Hijutsu, what would you do?
What would I do?
What would you want?
Miharu-kun.
Didn't we come all the way here to help you find clues to seal it away for eternity?
We never had any intentions of using you.
When Shinrabanshou had seemed to activate that time,
were you really trying to save me when you stabbed me?
It'd be best if you don't involve yourselves with me.
The capture of the Fuuma scroll has been confirmed.
But how did you guys manage to find its hiding spot in Fuuma?
Who knows.
Why not ask the one who found it?
Eh? Isn't he...
I was wondering what kind of strong guy he might be...
But he's nothing but a cute looking kid.
Hey, stop that! Yoite, cut it out!
Yoite!
Seriously.
If you killed the courier, the mission would've been totally messed up.
I have no idea why you got so angry, but...
...since we act as a group, we shouldn't be ignoring our leader's orders and acting on our own.
Huh?
Hey, don't die on me yet.
To use Kira on something like that...
Isn't it stupid to waste your life and die like this?
You're just so weird.
I'm broken.
Whatever.
To not involve yourself in things other than your mission...
...is also another rule of being a ninja.
So, shall we head off to Iga Village?
There are currently 853 people viewing.
But it's probably more than that.
For busy people of the modern age, it's got to be the internet.
Those Fuuma people sure are outdated, hanging out deep in those mountains.
Oh, the boss's lecture is about to start.
I extend my gratitude to those who are watching.
I am the leader of Kairoushuu.
Hattori Toujuurou.
Not bad, Raimei.
You're doing pretty good for your age, Saraba.
My age...
...you say!?
Who's doing good for their age?
You are! You!
Rokujo.
Are you okay?
Did Fuuma-dono save us?
Yeah, he did.
Today is?
Sunday afternoon.
Only a day has passed.
Where's Aizawa and Shimizu?
They're safe.
I said all those conceited things...
There's no meaning to it if I can't protect him.
In the end I couldn't do anything.
I was the one who couldn't do anything.
Kumohira-sensei.
When you're trying to save someone, you have to consider your own safety too.
If you can't say, "I'm happy we're together."
Then you can't save that someone.
That's what my aunt told me.
That's all.
Rokujo.
You don't seem too happy.
What's wrong?
Nothing, it's just...
Just?
It's fine, I won't lose.
What happened, exactly?
Really...
I just got bullied a bit by Kotarou-san.
Fuuma...
Oh, Thobari-kun, I see you're awake now.
What did you say to Rokujo?
Nothing, really.
I only scared him a tiny bit.
Fuuma-dono!
Thobari-san! Please pull yourself together.
Miharu, you've been playing your tricks again, haven't you?
Are you okay?
Thobari-san!
What are you talking about?
Shall we begin with the main topic?
If there's anything I know that may be of use to you, I'll be glad to help.
Your questions?
Yes, Thobari-kun's neighbour Miharu-kun.
I don't need the Hijutsu.
If there's a way to remove it, please tell me.
There is a way, but...
The results aren't very favourable.
Shinrabanshou completely fuses itself within a person.
If that person were to forcefully remove it...
...he'll die.
In other words, as long as the owner of the Hijutsu, Miharu-kun, doesn't die...
...he'll never be free from the Hijutsu.
If he were to die, it would simply move on to a new host.
Concerning the Hijutsu...
...how much do you know, Miharu?
I know it's not a book.
It's inside of me.
Kairoushuu of Iga are after it.
And even Kotarou wants it too.
Note: Book, Shinrabanshou History.
All of the history concerning the Hijutsu is in this book.
Thanks.
The Hijutsu was created during the Sengoku era.
Note: Sengoku Era, Era of the Warring States, a conflict in Japan that lasted roughly from the middle of the 15th century to the beginning of the 17th century.
The Hijutsu of the world of Nabari...
...was an object of fear that would cause immense harm towards the world.
Our ancestors decided it should be eliminated.
The leaders of Fuuma, Kouga, Togakushi, Banten and Iga cooperated together.
They sealed the Hijutsu together...
...and killed the first owner of the Hijutsu.
By doing that, they thought that would eliminate the threat of the Hijutsu.
However...
The Hijutsu was reborn.
Yes.
The second owner received the same fate, but the end result was still the same.
And now it is the modern age.
No longer are there any friendly relations between villages.
However, there is no definite proof.
Note: The big words are village names. The names in brackets are the names of their respective Kinjutsu.
Note: Iga (Kira).
Kairoushuu of Iga, are now thinking of ways to the use of the Hijutsu.
Note: Fuma (Tenpenka)
And we, of Fuuma, are against this idea.
Note: Togakushi (Izunashingan)
The Izuna creed of Togakushi and Kouga, a village that was proud of their powerful Bushi army...
Note: Kouga (Daya)
...both crumbled due to the occurance of the Meiji Restoration.
Note: Banten (Engetsurin)
Without a village, Banten, a division of Iga, was on the verge of destruction.
Miharu-kun, no matter what happens...
...even if you were to be killed, the Hijutsu would just move on to a new host.
To stop this never ending cycle, we need to find a method that lets you live.
In order to remove the Hijutsu safely and destroy it completely...
I will perform ninja technique research.
I will be the one to develop this new ninja technique.
A new ninja technique?
Even though the aim and the usage are different...
Kairoushuu must be thinking of the same thing.
Then their reason for taking our Kinjutsu...
Exactly the same reason.
Once they have completed their research on the Kinjutsus collected from the other villages...
...they will use them to remove the Shinrabanshou from Miharu-kun.
Eh!? Why are you leaving?
Why do you have to act like you don't care at a time like this!?
Even if I don't do anything...
It looks like Kotarou will give it his all anyway.
Worry not.
I'll be sure to put everyone to work.
Thobari-kun, where is Banten's leader now?
He isn't present.
I'm taking his spot temporary.
Then, you wouldn't mind if I gave you a mission, right?
Thanks for coming!
Even I do not know the extent of its wisdom.
Also, it doesn't fall in the category of ninja techniques.
He sure talks well, as usual.
Since the birth of mankind, just how many times must we tell ourselves...
...that the next era will be peaceful and have equality.
Will we ever be satisfied?
The world is waiting.
A new path has opened up.
Everyone is waiting for a king with revolutionary knowledge, who's born in the world of Nabari...
The way things are now, people will never change.
We will be helping humanity evolve.
According to our Hijutsu research...
If we are able to utilise the Kinjutsu scrolls from the various villages...
We will be able to remove the wisdom of the Shinrabanshou from its owner.
However, it hasn't been confirmed which village's Kinjutsu is able to perform such a feat.
Is there a chance that the stolen scroll, Tenpenka, can do this?
Yes.
Just yesterday...
...a team was sent to the Fuuma village...
...and they succeeded in obtaining the Kinjutsu scroll.
Now I ask the rest of you...
I would like you to help obtain the remaining three Kinjutsu scrolls from Kouga, Izuna, and Banten.
And also, I would like these scrolls brought back to me.
The Kinjutsu scrolls?
In order for the enemy to create a new technique...
...they desire to obtain all of the villages' scrolls.
However, let's use their plan as an opportunity...
...and use my ninja technique research to our advantage.
If other villages decide to help us please do it quietly...
...if not, would it be better if it was stolen from us?
Wouldn't that make us the same as the Kairoushuu!?
Yes, it would.
Did I ever say what we were doing was just?
Now, it's time you start acting like ninjas.
This is your mission...
In order to keep the Shinrabanshou safe...
This is your mission.
In order to take possession of the Shinrabanshou...
...and to fulfill our ambition...
All ninja villages will be out on the hunt.
Everyone desires...
...what's inside of me.
The Shinrabanshou...
...may no longer exist.
Next time: Greed.
