Forget! Forget it all, Miharu!
I want to stay apathetic...
...towards everything.
I...
My name is Yamase.
Note: Board, Yamase Masami.
I will be replacing Sakamoto-sensei due to his extended illness.
Meaning, 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 grandmother 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 club.
Club?
Yeah. Well, actually...
Aizawa!
As 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 club.
I was planning on asking Kumohira-sensei to be our club advisor.
It's fine if you think of us as something like a PE club.
However, it's broader 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 purely to 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 sound 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, your skills are inching ever closer to your grandmother's.
Note: Sign, Onomiyaki Taibanten.
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 isn't too far-fetched to say that 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.
They just don't reveal themselves to the real world.
Since childhood, I learned the ways of the ninja from my grandfather.
We ninjas, 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!
That scene where the policeman said that, sure was great.
Right?
Do you have business with me?
Yamase-sensei.
Are you doing some kind of training?
Amazing leg work you have there, Aizawa-kun.
Oh no.
What is it?
We're all out of bonito flakes.
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.
As expected of the Iga's 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. You're the Hijutsu!
Miharu-kun!
O five elements of nature, lend me your strength.
With my power alone, I can't 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!
Paralysis Seal!
What is this?
All you have to do is wish for it.
I exist to give you everything you desire.
Knowledge is limitless.
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 Seal!
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 or flesh.
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 ninjas a very long time ago; an ultimate 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.
Bit by bit...
That's impossible.
If it were possible...
...someone would have done it long ago.
The reason why there are still ninjas in this day and age...
...is all due to rivalling villages trying to obtain the Hijutsu.
We should be wary of the people from the Iga village, who are also related to the creation of the Hijutsu.
The faction 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.
In other words, you.
Remember this. Never give the Hijutsu to another.
And, do not give it to me.
Rokujo. Your boring life is over.
You will become stronger than anyone!
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 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 did 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.
Until you have become the ruler of Nabari, and bring an end to this history of conflict between ninjas for the Hijutsu...
I swear upon my life and honour, that I shall follow my way of the ninja.
I pledge to thee.
Oh yeah, bonito flakes, bonito flakes.
Wait a minute!
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.
Note: Paper, Club Application and Ninja Club.
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.
