It seems there are ninjas preparing to defect from the village.

The chieftain has personally ordered me to eliminate anyone acting suspicious.

I'm sure that you'll both get similar orders soon.

And how are you going to handle it?

Well, by killing the traitors, of course.

Even if they turn out to be friends you hold dear?

The organization has given me everything...

my name, my pride, and my reason to live.

This is the only place for me.

Ninjas are meant to serve the greater cause,

and those who threaten it

shall be eliminated.

Zai!

We've done everything that we can.

He may not accept it now,

but I'm sure the day will come when Zai will understand.

It's time to make our move.

Even in the face of lightning that tears the heavens apart,

there is no greater majesty than today.

Secret art... thunderclap.

You can revive all you want.

I'll just keep killing you over and over!

The quiet lake gleams in the morning sun

with not a ripple from any boats to be found.

Secret art... serenity.

He's honed his five senses to their peak.

No. Even beyond that.

You must have known they were planning to defect.

Why did you let them escape?

Not going to talk, are you?

It should have been obvious that becoming an exiled ninja

would mean death.

You brought this all upon yourself, Higan.

You were a fool to ignore the code and scorn our cause.

This never would have happened otherwise.

We didn't ignore it.

Mari and I realized that no code or cause

was worth following if it robbed us of our ability

to love and protect the things we held dear.

We made a choice.

You once said the organization was the only place for you.

But the two of us could never belong in that village.

Then why did you accept the pact that we made together?

Why did you lead me on with all that crap?

If I accompany you two, will I see new horizons?

Is that possible?

Let's journey together.

It was the first time in my life that I truly believed I'd made friends.

You betrayed more than just the village. You betrayed me.

I meant everything I said because you were another one of the people

that both of us held dear to our hearts.

- Which is why we considered-- - I've had enough of your bullshit!

That design, I recognize it.

I did it to make sure that we never forgot you.

We always wanted to go on that journey

and find those new horizons that we spoke about with you.

Shut up! You're just trying to trick me again.

I will not stop, not until the ninja are dead.

I have to bury the organization that you said meant everything to you.

It's the only reason I came here.

There's an easy way to prove which one of you is correct.

You should both just fight it out.

I came to prove to you that what I believe in is right.

I'm not wrong. You will see one day.

Mari said something once.

If Zai ever shows up,

I intend to let him do what he wants.

Whether he's driven by the code or by his hatred,

the very least we can do is to make sure he spares Ren,

whatever the circumstances,

because Ren is the one, the only one who can show Zai those new horizons.

This small bundle of life will make him understand

that even people like us can find our own futures.

I'm certain of it.

Listen, Zai, we can settle this later.

We must sort out our present instead of our past.

Damn it. Got to be a way. Got to be a way.

- Please don't scare me like that. - Lock the door next time.

Where's Ducky?

He got a message challenging him to a duel,

so he went to some scary ruins that used to be a ninja hideout.

- A duel. With who? - Beats me.

Shit. Talk about bad timing.

What happened with that big idea of yours?

- No luck. Just made things worse. - Worse?

- The feds will be coming for us soon. - What about you? You get the data?

Yeah, I found the partition that it was saved on.

- But you still don't have it? - I can't go any further than this, dude.

Everything requires Emma's biometric signature.

I tried to force my way in, but nothing has worked.

I even searched the lab and back, but I couldn't find any fingerprints,

much less a strand of her hair.

She's like sentient security software that leaves no frigging trace.

Everything that we've done is going to go up in smoke

unless we get our hands on that data, damn it.

Don't take it out on me. You're the one who screwed things up.

Care for a drink?

Care for a drink, just like old times?

I love daddy because he protects everyone from the bad.

This is a lovely drawing.

It may seem like a curse to you now,

but there might come a time down the road when it proves to be useful.

Hello. Apologies for the sudden call.

I just wanted to have a little chat with you.

Do you remember the first time we met?

When the Secretary of Defense told me

they had assigned ninjas to be my bodyguards,

I thought it was some kind of stupid joke.

But, you know, I was struck by your integrity

and how you never let emotions get in your way.

It left a profound impact on me.

That's a huge part of the reason why I agreed

to create the Gusoku gear for you guys.

Not to mention, I thought it was an ideal way

to further test and refine my company's technology.

I had fun with it.

It was really exciting.

But I guess you didn't feel the same way, did you?

Things are not looking good, sir.

We've already obtained all the development data

on the reactor and the Gusoku gear.

It shouldn't be difficult for us to establish our own production line.

Then it's time to take our leave.

So, old man,

did you honestly think that I wasn't going to catch on to your plans?

I've constantly said that my goal was to change the world.

However, I don't think I've ever shared the concrete details of my plan with you.

You know something, Yamaji? I'm sick and tired of this world.

But the energy that AUZA's currently developing is akin to a miracle.

And once I obtain it, the world is going to change drastically.

It will bring momentous improvements to people's everyday lives

and gradually solve every major problem the world faces.

Naturally, war will also change.

Weapons will become so powerful that the common sense of today

won't be able to handle them anymore.

And under my control,

humanity will take its next step in evolution.

I promise that I'll put all the data I got from you guys to good use.

Farewell, Yamaji.

Joseph,

I remember it all.

Every last detail.

But how?

Sayonara.

Who is that?

Suspect spotted.

Currently in pursuit of their truck going northwest on highway 16.

Requesting immediate backup.

Mr. Joseph, sir, come with us.

Dilly.

If I was here to kill you, you'd be dead already.

Wait! There's a helicopter up on the roof.

It's too late for that.

We'll head for the lab.

Stop the car. Pull over right now.

Exit the vehicle, and put your hands on the ground.

It's up to you now.

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

This is it. This is it. This is it! This is it!

Yeah, baby!

Hey, Emma's fingerprints should be on this.

How long do we have until they get here?

Don't worry. Just keep hacking. I'll go buy you some time.

It's all or nothing now.

Yeah. I can already see the sorry look on that loser CEO's face.

Don't worry. I've got your back.

Just relax. I'll deal with them even if you miss.

Hell, yeah.

You know, playing with a real gun

is way more fun than playing FPS video games.

Yamaji.

Your methods cannot change the world.

Guess I'm not the only one with a big head.

Dilly... Yet another traitor, I see.

A traitor?

As I recall, you were the one

who ordered me to act as Joseph's bodyguard, were you not?

Very well. Then, let's find out if you can uphold those orders.

Forgive me.

Dilly.

Dil... ly.

We've just gotten a new lead on the location of two exiles.

One is Higan.

The other is Mari.

And on top of that,

they have a child. All of them must die.

This is in the name of our great cause.

Zai, I trust you. Get it done.

You really like looking at the stars, don't you?

Not really. I gaze at them to remember,

reflecting on the time in my life when I was weak, could only stare at the ground.

It's how I maintain discipline.

Every ninja that is part of our organization has an unfortunate past,

but, personally speaking, I refuse to let it be a curse that holds me down.

It's history. We cannot pretend it doesn't exist.

True.

But we are always free to choose which direction to focus ourselves in.

It's possible for us to look into the future

instead of always being stuck in the past.

What do you mean by future?

I'm not sure yet, but someday I think I'll figure it out.

Then perhaps that is the new horizon we seek.

I sure hope so.

Mari said something once.

I think Ren is the one who can show Zai those new horizons.

This small bundle of life will make him understand

that even people like us can find our own futures.

I'm certain of it.
