Do not worry.
I will protect you.
What is this?
All you have to do is wish for it.
Everything here exists for you.
Knowledge is limitless.
What do you desire?
Tell me your desires.
Miharu.
I am Shimizu Raimei.
A samurai!
I was a bit scared.
I was a hundred times more scared, honestly.
Thank you.
So that's how it was...
Even though Miharu is irresponsible and unemotional, he isn't cold-hearted at all.
All right! Then let's go!
To where?
The village of Fuuma.
Fuuma ninjas take turns casting a mist technique that hides the entire village.
Wasn't there supposed to be a mist technique hiding the village?
This is impossible.
Something is coming.
These people are Fuuma ninjas.
Hang in there!
I'm a Fuuma ninja too.
What happened?
Kai-Kairoushuu.
What?
There were five of them.
We tried to stop them...
But, they managed to get into the village.
One of them was a monster.
A monster!?
He was the one who took down the mist technique... Everyone's...
Don't speak, I'm going to treat your wounds now.
Only her body is in shambles...
...not even her clothes have been harmed.
This couldn't be...
No, it's impossible.
I beg you!
Note: Kinjutsu, Forbidden technique.
Please protect Fuuma's kinjutsu scroll...
I-I beg you.
My, my. You should have just answered us truthfully.
Kairoushuu!?
Now, please answer our question.
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
Now that's he dead, who are we going to question?
A hidden door? What an old trick.
So they escaped to the outside?
Which means, they probably have it.
We need to contact Kotarou-dono quickly.
Where's the kinjutsu scroll?
From the back of the house...
He's by himself? This we can handle.
What about the back of the house?
I suppose there's no point in answering now.
Man, these guys weren't that skilled, even with all their big talk.
I've found you.
Damn it.
Hey.
Thanks.
Is it really okay to leave Shinrabanshou alone?
I would believe so. It doesn't seem like he can activate it yet.
It should be fine, even if we leave him alone for a bit longer.
But before that there's something else that must be done.
Do you mean Fuuma?
Note: Jounin, highest ranking ninjas.
I've already sent five jounin.
Will it be all right with only five?
Note: Kira, a type of forbidden technique.
The Kira user is with them, there's no reason to worry.
That's true...
...if it's that child.
We are currently working with the government to construct new sewer pipes.
It's about time we execute the real plan.
And for that we require Fuuma's kinjutsu scroll, right?
Exactly.
If you had just handed that over before...
...none of you would have died.
Every single one of you ninjas, who serve under a general, are such stubborn idiots.
To be using a gun...
Do you think it's weird that a ninja would be using a gun?
There's nothing exciting about using ninja techniques all the time.
Even more so than being stubborn, you have the era mixed up.
Listen up, the 21st century is the era of individualism.
There's no mistaking it, this is Fuuma's kinjutsu scroll.
Nicely done, Yukimi-san.
Our boss will be most pleased for a job well done.
Who knows? This thing might not even be useful.
However, we'll need this kinjutsu to obtain Shinrabanshou, right?
I guess so.
It's a rule in the ninja world to return after a mission is complete.
Yoite, we're leaving now.
You bastards!
New people keep on showing up...
Watch out!
These guys are strong.
These guys are on a totally different level compared to the ones we fought in Banten.
Four people...
Actually...
It's really only three, this is quite a surprise...
Man...
Yoite, take care of that one.
That's...
My, my. This wouldn't have happened if you would've just let us have it.
Hmm?
Hey.
Shinrabanshou is here.
Are you serious?
That kid who's just staring?
For him to come out to a place like this...
Things have really turned troublesome now.
What should we do?
Shimizu, what happened to Fuuma-dono?
He's probably not in the village.
If he were here, he wouldn't have let this happen.
This isn't good.
What is Kotarou doing at a time like this?
Dammit! The kinjutsu scroll is this village's soul.
I'll definitely get it back.
Wait, I understand your feelings, but we need to stay calm.
You should be able to sense our enemy's level of power.
Kairoushuu...
...currently holds the more powerful cards.
Se-Sensei.
This is the ninja rule number two: Victory by running away!
Showing our backs to enemy isn't samurai-like at all!
Actually, we shouldn't have entered the village in the first place.
That ninja with the hat is most likely...
...the monster.
Dispel seal!
Aizawa, Shimizu, take care of Rokujo.
Sensei, what about you?
I'll keep these guys busy...
...so go on without me.
Kouichi, this way.
Miharu, get ready to run.
At times like this these, I should be the one to divert enemy's attention.
Wait, Raimei.
Welcome home.
After them.
To have a chance to kill this many Kairoushuu members so soon...
Get going!
Oh, that's pretty amazing, missy.
For a ninja to be carrying around such a long sword, are you pretending to be a samurai?
I'm not pretending, I am a samurai!
Samurai, huh? Now that I think of it, there's someone like that at our place too.
Where is he?
Where is that person!? Answer me!
What is it, missy? Someone you know?
Don't run away!
Where that person is, what that person is doing, I'll force you to tell me!
I thought their skills were dull, but they can run like monkeys.
Leave this to me.
Miharu, Kouichi.
Brat, if you try to act smart you'll only get hurt.
That reasoning of yours is quite regrettable.
You're even more of a brat when you use such weak tactics.
Even though I gave you a warning.
Because I'm a kid, you let your guard down.
I suppose you did pretty well, making such a happy face like that.
Ninjas fight each other with their lives on the line.
If you're sympathetic with the enemy...
...you might as well leave the world of Nabari.
However, capturing the Hijutsu wasn't part of my mission, right?
It's my policy to not put extra effort into things outside of the mission outline.
Well, let's just consider this fateful encounter a unfortunate event.
Wait! What's your name!?
It'd be best not to stop him.
Good choice, four-eyes.
If we meet again, I'll tell you then.
See ya.
Yoite, we aren't in any hurry to obtain the Shinrabanshou.
Hurry up and head back already.
Kumohira-sensei.
There might be Kairoushuu still around.
Staying here would be dangerous.
But...
Leave that guy to Thobari-sensei.
Right now, our duty is to take you to somewhere safe.
Raimei-san is right.
There's no mistaking it.
Kumohira-sensei.
Stay back.
This guy is using a kinjutsu, Kira.
Kinjutsu!?
Miharu, you idiot!
Note: Ki, one's spiritual energy, often referred to as "chi" in Chinese martial arts.
Fundamentally, it's similar to Chinese breathing techniques, it's source of power flows from his ki.
Striking his opponent with his own ki...
...he takes control of their flesh and blood.
The ki he uses to strike with, must be a fragment of...
...his own life force.
I've been hit.
Di-Dispel seal.
Dispel it!
Aizawa!
He's fast!
Rokujo!
You're bleeding...
Shinrabanshou-dono.
It bothers me if you look away...
Your technique still isn't done with me, right?
Kumohira-sensei!
Run away!
Go!
You're only...
...after me, right?
Let go of my teacher.
You idiot.
Everyone else has nothing to do with this.
Therefore...
...what is it that you want?
If I'm your target, then I'll go to the Iga village or wherever you want.
Don't screw with me.
No matter the sacrifice, never give up the Hijutsu to anyone.
To no one!
And also, if you say something like that, our reason for being here for you would be meaningless.
If you say it has nothing to do with us...
...are you trying to say we have nothing to do with you?
Would it have been better if we weren't involved at all!?
I...
I made a promise with you that I wouldn't let you die.
Now hurry up and get out of here.
And no matter what, meet with Fuuma-dono!
Go! Rokujo!
Stop it!
Stop!
My, my.
I never thought someone could undo the mist technique in such a short amount of time.
Even still, this troubles me quite a bit.
You've managed to make quite a mess of my garden.
Once you've removed Shinrabanshou from my body...
...wouldn't you want it for yourself?
I rather not be involved.
Next time: The Ordered Mission.
