Original subtitles

During a war, a handful of warriors nearly obliterated the Imperial Army.

They were called the Ninku Unit.

The empire was barely able to defeat them,

so they set out to subdue the unit in fear of their powers.

Few even know about the real Ninku anymore.

After witnessing power far greater than their own at Ajirada's castle

Touji, Aichou, and Rihoko

decided to head to Ninku Village in search of clues to becoming stronger.

Damn, Fuusuke's taking forever.

How long is he gonna fret over this by himself?

Isn't it about time for him to catch up with us?

Don't get so bent outta shape.

He'll catch up eventually.

But I'm worried.

What'll happen if the Imperial Army finds him?

No worries there.

There's no way they could bring him down.

Guess you're right.

But what if he eats something weird and gets food poisoning?

No worries there, either.

He can eat enough for fifty people and not get sick.

But what if he gets lost?

There's plenty...

of room for worry.

His horrible sense of direction isn't normal.

Elsewhere, Fuusuke decided that the only way to melt Kisumi's frozen heart was to become strong.

He's rushing through the mountains to catch up with Touji and the others, but...

This is the tenth time I've hit this dead end.

Just as Touji had feared, he was utterly lost.

I've got it!

We're lost.

Don't get so angry.

We just have to send up a smoke signal.

I'm sure Touji and the rest will notice it and come save us.

There's a strong wind blowing to the northwest.

Hiroyuki, give me the smoke signaler.

Huh? That's strange.

There isn't any smoke.

This isn't a signaler!

It's d-dynamite!

The enemies!

Jeez, what a killer mistake!

I almost died.

You listening?

Why are you sleeping out here?

Is it fun?

Hey! You'll catch a cold if you sleep out here.

Hey, there's a cabin, so hang in there!

Mom, it's ready.

Drink this and get better soon!

Thank you, Kioteru.

Don't worry about it, Mom.

Kioteru, it's an air raid!

Mom!

Kioteru! No!

Excuse me!

Let me through!

Mom!

Mom!

Kioteru! Kioteru!

K-Kioteru...?

Kioteru!

Yo! You're finally up.

You did this?

That's right.

Drink this and get better soon.

It's good. Eat it.

Thank you, Kioteru.

I'm not Kioteru. I'm Fuusuke.

I'm sorry!

Looking at you reminded me of my son that I was separated from during the war.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry.

Now that I look closer, you don't resemble him at all.

I can't believe I confused you with Kioteru.

I see. So that Kioteru guy looks like me.

You look kinda like Mommy.

But Mommy's prettier, nicer, and smells better.

Oh, really!

Thank you. I'm all better now.

You should go home to your pretty, nice, good smelling mother.

I'm sure she's worried about you.

I'm traveling in search of Mommy.

I see...

You're a dirty mess!

I was searching in the forest.

It took forever to find that food.

Is it good?

These clothes are filthy!

How'd he get them so dirty?

You sure you shouldn't be sleeping?

Good morning!

I'm not such a weak woman that I need you to tend to me!

You shouldn't talk after all I did for you.

Hey, that song of yours...

What about it?

It's the same as the lullaby Mommy sang.

Do you have any idea where your mother is?

Nope. I was just five when we were separated.

I see.

You're just like us.

Both you and Kioteru were raised never knowing about a mother's cooking.

Is a mother's cooking sweet or bitter?

Wanna find out?

Then think of me as your mother and let me baby you.

But you aren't Mommy.

She sang that lullaby way better than you.

Sorry I'm a bad singer!

Come on in! Why are you acting so shy?

I'm coming in!

Where do you think you're touching?!

You may be a bad singer, but your boobs are bigger than Mommy's.

Stop that! Stop it! C'mon, Fuusuke!

Former Ninku First Squad Captain...

Fuusuke the Rat Ninja.

I was wondering what was keeping her.

I'm amazed how close she's gotten to the Zodiac Ninja.

This is our chance to raise the Kunoichi Unit's rank in the Imperial Army.

Emi, go report to our captain.

Okay!

Fuusuke, stop it!

Hiroyuki, come on in!

I got some firewood.

Huh?

Lady?

Where'd she go?

Lady!

Lady!

What a relief.

That was awesome...

My, if it isn't Fuusuke-kun!

Yep!

What is it?

Were you lonely with me gone?

W-Was not!

I just came to help out...

This is pretty big.

It's great!

I know!

Lady, I'll play that lullaby you were singing earlier with my harmonica.

Really?

Here I go!

What do you think, lady?

Pretty good, huh?

Huh?

I'm not lonely or anything!

Sayaka, member of the Imperial Army's special unit.

I thought you were just running late, but you're doing pretty good.

What do you mean?

There's no need to play dumb.

You've gotten so close to Fuusuke, the former Ninku's First Squad captain.

Fuusuke-kun's a former Ninku captain?!

No way...

So you approached Fuusuke without realizing it?

Makes sense.

Your boldness surprised me

since you're so stupid you're only good for gathering information in small towns.

So you approached him in ignorance.

It doesn't really matter.

Fuusuke has let his guard down around you.

It's perfect.

What is?

It's perfect for killing a Ninku.

Kill him? Kill Fuusuke-kun?

That dagger's deadly poison spreads throughout the body in mere moments.

This knife was drenched in the same poison.

Kill Fuusuke with this.

Now make us proud!

There's no way I could...

kill Fuusuke-kun.

C'mon!

Almost got ya!

Ow...

What's wrong? You don't look too good.

Did something sad happen?

Not really.

Then smile, lady.

I don't feel like it right now.

Really?

Stop it!

C'mon! Smile!

I said I don't feel like it!

I hate dirty children.

Have you ever brushed your teeth?

Quit breathing your stinky breath on me!

Lady, do you hate me now?

I never liked you!

I see.

Wait! Wait, Fuusuke-kun!

Fuusuke-kun, where'd you go?!

Fuusuke-kun!

Fuusuke-kun...

Lady,

I brushed my teeth!

So please don't hate me.

I could never hate you, Fuusuke-kun!

I was being silly earlier.

I'm sorry.

So you don't hate me?

Of course I don't!

Of course I don't...

Fuusuke-kun, sorry I can't explain things.

But I just can't stay with you any longer.

Where do you think you're going?

Why haven't you killed Fuusuke?

Are you ignoring your orders?

We'll kill you if you do.

Kill me if you want!

I just can't kill Fuusuke-kun.

Whenever I look at him,

I remember Kioteru, my son that I was separated from during the war.

Do you realize what you're doing? You're betraying our captain!

You owe him your life!

The only reason we're even alive is because

our captain saved our lives when we were dying during the war.

Have you forgotten?

Captain, there's a survivor!

Are you okay?

Who're you?

The Imperial Army's special unit, the Kunoichi Unit.

I haven't forgotten.

Women always lose their loved ones during war.

I pulled through when times were tough because I had to survive.

If I could put an end to this era just a little quicker...

If I could prevent another woman from suffering like me...

So I became a Kunoichi.

That's why I was fine with not joining the regular army and doing the dirty work.

But I can't kill that child!

You...

just don't get it!

We'll really kill you if you don't change your mind!

Stop it!

Captain Maki!

Sayaka, we will have to kill you if you disobey your orders.

But we won't let you off that easy this time.

Wh-What do you mean?!

The Imperial Army has found your missing son.

His name is Kioteru. Isn't that right?

Where is Kioteru?!

We found him while out on a mission.

The army is taking care of him.

So Kioteru's okay?

Yeah.

The army has prepared a school for Kioteru as well as a home for the both of you.

A happy life as mother and son awaits you.

Really?!

But that won't happen if you disobey my orders.

Why are you hesitating, Sayaka?

Even though Fuusuke's a child,

he's a surviving member of the Ninku that defied the empire.

But...

Cast aside your hesitation.

You feel for him because you were together a while.

That's all.

You must kill him for the army as well as for yourself and your son!

That's the only way.

If you can't stab him, then peel that apple with that knife and feed it to him.

Very well.

I will personally kill former Ninku First Squad Captain, Fuusuke!

The wind blowing against my cheeks soothes my wounds.

hoho ni ataru kaze ga kizu wo keshiteyuku

I can hear your voice both near and far.

kimi no koe ga tooku chikaku kikoeteru

Our promised land isn't all that far away.

yakusoku no basho nara sonna tookunai

Let's use that as our starting point as we set forth once more.

mou ichido koko kara arukihajimeyou

The sky we look upon is endless as it spreads out for all eternity.

miageru sora hateshinaku towa ni hirogaru

Just as my dream is about to fade away,

shibomikaketa yume ga mata

someone makes a noise and wakes me up.

oto wo tatete me wo samasu yo

I cry in anger, laugh, and love someone.

naite okottari, soshite warattari,

dareka wo aishitari

Flowers always bloom before withering away.

itsumo hana wa saki soshite chitteku

But, even so, tomorrow will still come.

sore demo ashita wa yatte kuru

I want to believe in someone, after I free myself from love and everything.

ai wo toki hanachi subete wo toki hanachi

dareka wo shinjitai

There will always be a tomorrow

itsumo kaze wo kanjiteru kokoro ni

as long as my heart can feel the wind.

itsudemo ashita wa yattekuru

Lady, why are you holding a knife?

I get it! You're going to peel an apple, right?

It looks delicious.

Why do you look so sad?

Did something sad happen?

I'm so worried!

Next episode: Sad Partings!

Things look pretty rough again.
