Yes, Hijutsu.
People only become friendly with you because they desire its power, Rokujo.
As long as you carry the Shinrabanshou within you, there will be countless numbers of people who will want to use you.
Your friends are no different.
What's wrong, Shiratama?
Good evening.
地を這うよに進んでは平凡な上昇繰り返す
chi wo hauyoni susunde wa heibon na joushou kurikaesu
I continue to crawl each and every day only to reach my everyday mediocre life.
刻まれた運命だってただ深呼吸
kizamareta unmei datte tada shinkokyuu
Even though my destiny is carved in stone, I'll just take a deep breath.
足りないのは分かっていた轟音につぶされそうな日々
tarinai no wa wakatteita gouon ni tsubusaresou na hibi
I knew it wasn't enough, when the passing days were crushed by the loud roars.
針のような雨もやんで君が来た
hari no you na ame mo yande kimi ga kita
The needle-like rain stopped pouring down on me when you arrived.
SHALALA
I THINK FOR YOU
SHALALA
NOT FOR MYSELF
SHALALA
I THINK FOR YOU
SHALALA
退屈はもう限界です
taikutsu wa mou genkaidesu
I can't take this boredom any longer.
立ち尽くしたステージで殴り返す勇気
tachitsukushita STAGE de naguri kaesu yuuki
Standing exhausted on this stage, I'll find the courage to strike back.
I DON'T CARE, I DON'T CARE
存在さえも君が笑うから
sonzai sae mo kimi ga warau kara
There you are laughing at my existence.
走り出したペースで流れてった風景
hashiridashita PACE de nagaretetta fuukei
The scenery flies by us running at our pace.
I DON'T CARE, I DON'T CARE, I DON'T CARE
正しいかどうかを確かめに行くのですか
tadashika douka wo tashikame ni yuku no desu ka
Whether it is right or wrong, shall we go find out?
Raimei-san.
Are you alive?
Raimei-san.
Miharu!
My head is killing me.
The Kira user took Miharu.
Let's go.
We've searched the entire city.
I see.
They didn't leave any traces so following their tracks would be impossible.
I'm going to Iga.
Wait a second!
You don't even know anything about the circumstances yet.
Even if you go, it'd be pointless.
Then, what are you saying I should do?
What else can I do?
Thobari-sensei, you don't look so well.
You've only just returned from Kanagawa.
You should rest.
You're right.
You guys should rest.
Sensei!
Just calm down and think for a bit.
I'm sure Miharu is fine.
Is there any guarantee?
It's all...
It's all my fault!
I never thought that the Kairoushuu would go after Rokujo before...
...finding the kinjutsu scrolls that are needed to unlock the mysteries of the Hijutsu.
I'm such an idiot!
It's not your fault, sensei.
We've already told Miharu's grandmother that he'll be staying over at Kouichi's house.
There's no reason to be in a panic.
Even though it would've been unreasonable, I should have been by his side...
Why did I only send you guys back with him?
I always regret everything in the end.
Even after all I said, I still couldn't do anything for him!
Sensei, calm down.
What if Rokujo got killed? Th-Then what would I do!?
Calm down!
Kouichi.
Yoite could've easily killed us...
But, we only fainted and were left with minor injury.
I'm not sure if it was an order from Kairoushuu, or if he acted on his own.
However, I can say with certainty that Miharu-kun will not be killed.
If you act like this, all the things you've said would go to waste.
I'm sorry. I'll rest for a bit and think things over.
The guy with the bed hair looks like he's about to collapse.
Leader, Yoite isn't here after all.
I don't think we can count on that Yamase guy.
All he did was blabber about how Yoite was following Rokujo Miharu.
He was only trying to get on your good side.
Yoite should be reaching his limit soon.
It'll be troublesome if you don't keep him under control.
Even if you ask me to do that...
It's impossible to keep up with his unpredictable actions.
He'll kill me if I try to get in his way.
To be asking me to control him...
That's too cruel.
Well, he'll probably be back after a little while, right?
Yukimi-kun.
You do understand that we are criminals trying to bring about a revolution in the world, right?
Of course, we must always follow and obey the leader's orders.
But, in the real world I'm working as a writer.
Right now, I have to start collecting data for my next article.
I have to eat some ramen at Onimichi.
Once you've found Yoite...
...call my secretary and you will receive your next orders.
Understood.
Dammit.
He doesn't care one bit about my feelings.
This is why I hate brats like him.
Yoite.
Kumohira-sensei told me that the Kira technique eats away at your life.
Are you going to die for the sake of the Kairoushuu?
Even though you'll die, you still want the Hijutsu?
I'm not alive, therefore I'm not scared of dying.
There's a lot of bamboo here.
Yeah, I guess.
Sit.
Watch out for snakes, though.
Where are the other Kairoushuu?
They have nothing to do with this.
I just want to have a conversation with you.
I want you to grant my wish.
You too?
I wish that I never existed in the first place.
You want to die?
That's not it.
I want you to change the past so that I was never born.
It's fine if you don't understand.
Since it's better if you didn't know at all.
This is something a Kira user cannot do.
I understand.
But...
Even if you ask me, I can't use it.
This wisdom is too much for me to handle.
When the information starts to overflow, my head feels like it's going to explode.
I need to train my mind in order to use it, but the way I am now...
On the other hand, if you clear those requirements, the wisdom is yours.
What do you plan on using it for?
Nothing at all.
I just want to return to the life I had before.
Why?
The Shinrabanshou is yours.
Therefore, it's fine for you to use it.
"The people who desire to change the laws of the universe cannot be forgiven."
Is what Kumohira-sensei said.
People are already doing more than enough of what they please.
That doesn't matter to me.
Being indifferent, huh?
Haven't you ever thought about saving someone?
Is there anyone you hold dear to you?
Not showing any care, and ignoring everything you see in front of you.
Is that your way of life?
Rokujo Miharu.
It's because I made a promise.
A promise?
With who?
I don't know.
But, probably...
You're keeping a promise with someone, but you don't know who?
If someone was to tell you to do something...
...would you just live by going with the flow and accepting things as they are?
Then, make it so you can use it.
For my sake, make it so.
If you can't, then I will take it for myself.
If you try to forcefully take it away from me, the Hijutsu will just escape.
Aren't the Fuuma ninjas also thinking about it as well?
That's why they are collecting the kinjutsu to create a new technique to secure the Hijutsu.
Even if you forcefully take the Shinrabanshou from me...
...you might die trying to fuse yourself with it.
No matter what choice you make, you don't have much longer to live, Yoite.
Give me Rokujo!
I don't have enough strength left to take your life.
If I bring the Shinrabanshou back,
I may still have a future.
In this world, wisely using the powers you have will determine your victory or defeat!
The victor has the privilege and freedom of destroying anything that gets in their way.
They do!
Come, Rokujo!
Come with me!
Where do you think you're going?
Watch.
He came here to die.
The man who is crying out still isn't in despair.
You're like that too, right?
But even still...
It's pointless...
You're more dead inside than I am.
One:
Should the Hijutsu be removed; how that person uses it and what happens to this world doesn't matter.
Two:
Use it for your own sake.
Three:
Use it for my sake.
Choose one of the three choices.
However, should you pick one or two, I will immediately kill your friends.
Why?
If I kill your friends...
You wouldn't think about committing suicide or getting revenge, right?
Since, you're indifferent.
That's...
If you say it has nothing to do with us...
...are you trying to say we have nothing to do with you?
Stay close to us, Miharu-kun.
I will not keep any more secrets from you, and I will never betray you.
Trust me.
Then...
...there's no reason for me to keep them alive.
Dispel.
A fragment of my life force is injected into a person's body when I use the Kira technique.
Should I die, all of those fragments will also die; along with any person who carries those fragments.
Therefore, if you were to kill me here...
The one who was with you in Fuuma...
Along with the two in Banten who have fragments of my life force within them.
Four people would die.
How is it? Can you see?
If I dispel it, the fragments and my control are no more.
I can see.
It's like Yamase said, I won't live much longer.
You should quickly learn how to use the Hijutsu and grant me my wish.
You understand, right?
So, from the very beginning I didn't have a choice.
If I pick one or two everyone will...
I won't let you die alone.
If I pick three, what will happen?
Because, I'm your ally.
Everyone would hate me and that would be goodbye.
Go, Rokujo!
That doesn't matter, though.
It's ridiculous that anyone should die for my sake.
That's right...
It's not like I'd give anything in return.
Even if they're nice to me, it just puts me in a bind.
I don't deserve to be helped...
...by anyone.
I choose three.
I'm okay, I don't feel lonely.
It seemed like the most relaxing.
This secret is ours alone.
Before my existence can be erased from this world, I will help you no matter what it is.
I will help you become the ruler of Nabari!
For the time being, let's go along with the collecting of the kinjutsu.
Kinjutsu, unlike normal ninja techniques, contain special knowledge and techniques.
I'm sure you'll find clues on how to use the Shinrabanshou from them.
Why do you say that?
They don't use the five elements like normal ninja techniques.
To gain the abilities of a kinjutsu, the user will bring about risks to his mind and body.
Though the level of risk might not be the same.
I believe your Hijutsu is probably the same way.
I recited the kinjutsu scroll and gained the abilities of Kira.
That's why I'm sure, if you're able to read a written scripture of the Shinrabanshou...
Perhaps you'll be able to use it.
Are you trying to tell me to write a scripture for the Hijutsu from the information found in the kinjutsu scrolls?
Correct.
Just like Kairoushuu and Fuumas, who are trying to create a new technique to extract the Shinrabanshou from you...
We will write a scripture from the kinjutsu scrolls that we can use to our benefit.
What's wrong?
It's just, it's been a long time since I've talked so much, so I'm exhausted.
Are you okay?
For now, we should just go along with our respective villages, as we always have.
Will I see you again?
Goodbye, Yoite.
Goodbye, Miharu.
Welcome.
Mi-
Ro-Rokujo!
Rokujo! You're okay!
Rokujo, Rokujo, are you okay?
Sensei, what's wrong?
Miharu only went over to Kouichi's house.
Right, Kouichi-kun?
Yes.
Has Thobari-sensei always had this kind of personality?
Welcome back.
Well, I won't ask where you went.
As long as you didn't kill the little devil child, everything is okay.
Hey, you didn't kill him, right?
At least spare me the grief of that.
I didn't kill him.
Then all is good.
Truthfully, the leader told me to go out looking for you.
If only I didn't have to eat at five different ramen restaurants...
I really don't want anymore ramen.
Yukimi.
What is it?
Am I...
...alive?
Of course you're alive.
But...
...no one notices that I am.
Does it seem...
...like I don't notice you?
There's no doubt that you are alive.
You are breathing, after all.
To be involved with someone...
To live, means doing something for the sake of someone else.
Huh?
The real world is full of pain.
The world of Nabari is too.
The pain continues to gather and cause more pain.
Despite it all, why do people still involve themselves?
Because in the end, people can't go on living without doing so.
That's just how it is.
The only thing I am able to do is hurt people and nothing else.
I'm certain I'm not alive.
Here, lemonade.
Everything will be fine if you just do what you're told.
Whether you're alive or dead, the door here will always be open for you.
Whether it be rain or shine, whenever you feel like it, you can just come back here.
Well, back to work.
I feel sick.
Huh!?
Honestly, kids really tick me off.
Crap, if I don't submit this article within the hour I'll be fired!

We will look forward and embrace our never ending dream.
To destroy the Hijutsu and become a king...
Or to gain control of it and become a king...
No one knows yet.
Not even me.
Next time: The Heart's Decision.
