"Who are you?" "Someone who opposes the Toyotomi clan." "Send my regards to Hideyoshi." "Damn you!" "Damn you!" "Father!" "Watch out!" "Goroichi." "It's you again." "What are you doing here?" "Father, I've been waiting for you." "You're troublesome." "You'll get lost in the woods one of these days." "Father, will you teach me some ninja skills this time?" "You know I haven't got time for that!" "Where are you going!" "?" "Go play with Gonkuro!" "Who was that!" "?" "Who's there?" "Oh, it's you." "That really hurt." "I was just taking a good nap." "And I was dreaming I was about to eat this huge bun and..." "Father, you're so cruel!" "You old goat!" "Where did your father go?" "He went that-a-way." "I see." "He went to see Momochi Sandayu the greatest ninja master of all the Iga." "It's obvious, your father doesn't have time to spend with you." "What?" "Gonkuro, you fool!" "My father is the most distinguished because he's the number one ninja expert." "I see what you mean, but..." "Someday I will also become a great master ninja, just like my father." "You will?" "Come on!" "Turn into a toad!" "Hey!" "Don't!" "You can't go!" "Stay here!" "Let me go!" "I'm a bird!" "I'm a bird now!" " Don't go!" "Let's go home!" "Look!" "A bear!" "A bear?" "Come and catch me!" "Catch me if you can!" "Now you're trapped!" "I'm getting outta here!" "Boss!" "Boss!" "Master..." "This is a letter from Toyotomi Hideyoshi, regarding an invitation for Tozawa Hakunsai." "I see." "You must have taken great risk to obtain this letter." "Yes." "And the purpose to this letter is to protect their project  to build a hidden fortress in Osaka castle." "If this project falls into the hands of Tokugawa Ieyasu the power of the Toyotomi will collapse." "Master." "Now is the time for Ieyasu to gain power..." "And never let power go to Hideyoshi!" "I see." "You have been denying Tokugawa's invitation just to take this opportunity for the Igaryu clan to go out into the world." "Now, the opportunity has come." "Yes." "Sagiri, is that you?" "Yes!" "I have returned." "Good news." "We're finally going to the Tokugawa." "Yes, the time of the duel has come between Tozawa Hakunsai of Koga and Momochi Sandayu of Iga." "Torawakamaru." "Torawakamaru!" "Torawakamaru!" "Father!" "You imbecile!" "You lack skills." "Take a look at the forest." "What happened?" "Are you okay?" "To be saved by Master Hakunsai..." "It is truly an honor." "Dairikimaru..." "I see that it's been a labor to get the letter from Hideyoshi to me." "However, I cannot accept." "Why is that?" "Now is the age of the younger generation." "I will be sending my son, Torawakamaru." "Thank you very much." "I wouldn't be able to go home alive if I let the letter get stolen and the request denied." "Now that I'm safe... ..I will send regards from my lord Fukushima Masanori." "That crafty person who stole the letter..." "He must be a professional skilled ninja." "Don't you think so, Torawakamaru?" "Yes." "And I suspect Momochi Sandayu of Iga is probably behind this." "Perhaps even the Tokugawa." "Suruga" "Sumpu Castle Castle of Tokugawa Ieyasu" "What?" "Momochi Sandayu?" "Yes, milord's often requested Momochi Sandayu has finally arrived." "And he has brought along a strange man by the name Ishikawa Goemon." "Sado..." "Goemon." "Idiots, settle down!" "Settle down!" "Where's Sandayu?" "Milord..." "I am Momochi Sandayu." "Very worthy of you, Sandayu." "I am impressed." "It is my honor." "Now the lord would like to say something important to the two of you." "Gonkurou!" "Father!" "Gonkurou!" "Father!" "Dear god..." "I'm lost in the woods." "From now on, I'll listen to my father." "Please show me the way to get home." "I'll show you the way, boy." "You mischief child!" "I take you home." "Do the ninja stance." "Now, close your eyes." "God, that was terrible!" "God, you lied to me!" "How could you!" "Oh, it's a samurai." "You scared me." "Kid, where are you from?" "I'm from the mountain of Iga." "Iga mountain?" "You came all the way from Iga?" "That's outrageous." "Okay, I take you." "Hop on my back." "Mr. Samurai, I hope you're not a kidnapper." "Don't be stupid." "Come on." "Look, now close your eyes and count - one, two, three, okay?" "Go on, count." "Okay." "One..." "Two..." "Three..." "Four..." "Here we are." "You can open your eyes now, kid." "Wow, it's is really the mountain of Iga." "Mr. Samurai, do you have ninja skills?" "My father is a master of the ninja arts." "His name is Ishikawa Goemon." "Do you know him?" "Come and pay a visit sometime to learn some more skills." "But not now." "Why is that?" "He is visiting a castle." "A castle?" "Which castle?" "How should I know?" "Oh yeah, he said Sumpu castle or something." "He will be busy there." "So, he wont be back for few days." "I will see you again soon, kid." "Thank you again, Mr. Samurai." "Take care." "Good bye." "Osaka Castle castle of Toyotomi Hideyoshi" "Milord!" "What's going on?" "Some strange person is on the rooftop." "What?" "On the rooftop?" "Yes!" "Lord, perhaps an expert ninja..." "What?" "An expert ninja?" "No need to worry, Milord." "He was sent by Master Hakunsai." "I am the Koga ninja master Tozawa Hakunsai's son, Tozawa Torawakamaru." "I am pleased to be in the presence of Milord." "Torawakamaru." "I, Lord Hideyoshi, am pleased to meet you." "Come closer." "Please excuse the sudden disturbance." "I'm pleased to have you here, Torawakamaru." "Father." "Yes." "I, Hideyori, wish to have a request." "Speak up." "Hideyori would like to see Master Torawakamaru's ninja skills." "Sure." "Would you please show some of your ninja skills." "Certainly." "Go ahead." "Pardon me." "That's enough." "Come on down." "Admirable performance." "It's my pleasure." "But that's not all." "Milord, please take a look at the tower." "I beg your pardon." "Last thing, I have a souvenir for the young master." "What is it?" "Wonderful!" "Great job, Torawakamaru!" "Hideyori, would you also like to become a ninja expert?" "Father, it's a contradiction, but I would rather have an expert as my follower." "Well said." "You are truly my son." "Masanori, guide Torawakamaru to a private room." "Torawakamaru." "Come closer." "The reason of invitation is that we have an assignment for you." "There are still some people trying to attack us, the Toyotomi clan." "For that, I have a plan to build a fortress around this Osaka castle." "This project is in the hands of Fukushima Masanori who is in charge to raise the fortress." "And..." "I would like you to use your talented ninja skills to protect this project." "If my plans are stolen my power will collapse and this world will again be in chaos." "So, for the sake of world peace, your job is to guard my project." "Is that understood?" "Mother." "Hey, it's mine!" "It's mine!" "Hey, what's the idea!" "She said thank you..." "When I hear her sweet voice, my heart beats so fast." "Don't say that loud." "What if they hear you." "Every time I see Sagiri, I gain lots of energy to concentrate on my job." "Concentrate?" "What are you saying?" "You're only starring at her." "That's what you're up to." "Idiot." "I'm looking at that little princess." "What if something happens to her." "What are you saying?" "The little princess is over there but I see your eyes are looking the other direction." "That's because I am worried what if a kidnapper walks in." "So first, I'm looking here, and then the little princess goes over there but Sagiri is still here." "And then my eyes are just stuck looking at her." "So, then you are starring at her." " No, I'm not." "Then what do you call it?" "I'm gazing a view." "Oh, you're gazing." "Yes." "What a dirty mind." "What, you little...." " The lord has returned!" "The lord returned!" "Oh, what is it?" " Sagiri..." "Sagiri went too." " Really." "Hey, wait!" "Father, welcome back home." "Oh, it's Nene." "Good girl, good girl." "Ms Sagiri." "Ms Sagiri, where have you gone?" "Hey!" "Cut it out already." "She's obviously not here." "I can't." "From tonight there's a newcomer, a ninja expert, strictly guarding this place." "That's right." "Then let's get some rest, shall we?" "Okay." " Let's rest." "However, that ninja expert..." "He looks very young and naive." "I wonder if he's alright." "Who knows." "Maybe, it's an old man behind a mask." "You're right." "Even though he looks handsome, in realty he might have an ugly flat face." "Why a flat face?" "Why're you getting mad?" "How would you like me laughing about your face?" "Nonsense." "Let's get some sleep, shall we?" "Okay, let's sleep." "What are you trying to do?" "What are you talking about?" "You hit me, didn't you?" "Nonsense." "You hit me." "I didn't." "But, it really hurts." "It's strange." "Wait." "Maybe a ninja thief sneaked in." "A ninja thief sneaked in?" "A ninja thief!" "Who are you?" "Damn it!" "Let's go!" "Wait!" "Mother!" "Thief!" "Wait!" "Who's behind this?" "No!" "If you're a ninja, don't ask such questions." "I see." "You have good ninja skills." "It's same skill as Momochi Sandayu." "You must be from Iga." "Kill me!" "I can't." "I don't appreciate a life spared by an enemy." "Don't neglect your life." "Now, I am ashamed." "I have nowhere to go." "Go ahead and kill me." "Don't forget the importance of human life." "We will meet again." "Sir Masanori!" "Torawakamaru..." "I don't know how can I repay you for risking your life to return the project plans to its rightful place." "I was only protecting the project." "But I failed to stop them from kidnapping Nene." "Taking an innocent child..." "That's a very unethical thing to do." "That damn Ishikawa Goemon!" "What?" "Ishikawa Goemon?" "Yes, that thief had left this letter." "That's the Iga crest." "I, Ishikawa Goemon, am taking Nene as a hostage." "He said Sumpu castle or something." "He won't be back for few days." "Milady, I will bring Nene back to you." "Even at the risk of my life." "Lemme go!" "I wanna go home!" "Lemme go!" "Boss, welcome back." "Who is this?" "Avery useful hostage." "Lock her up." "What are you doing?" "I wanna go home!" "Mother!" "Father!" "Be quiet!" "Stay her!" "Quiet!" "If you don't be quiet, a ghost will get you!" "I'm scared!" "Gonkuro!" "Yes!" "I'm coming!" "Don't you dare try to escape." "If you do, a bear or a wolf will come out and bite you." "What are you doing, Gonkuro?" "Hurry up!" "Yes, I'm coming!" "...he keeps on calling..." "What's your name?" "I'm Nene." "Nene?" "What a funny name!" "How rude!" "And you?" "I'm Goroichi." "Are you a hostage, too?" "No." "My father is the lord in this area." "The man who brought me here?" "My father brought you here?" "Where are you from?" "My father is Fukushima Masanori." "He's a great general." "Then he must be strong like my father." "Your father is evil!" "Cut it out!" "I don't forgive you saying bad things about my father!" "If he isn't evil, then why did he kidnap me and bring me here?" "Maybe because you did something bad." "No, no." "I was sleeping quietly." "Sleeping quietly?" "I don't understand." "Hey, Goroichi." "I'm starving." "Please, bring me something to eat." "Bossy little girl." "Alright, wait here." "I bring you something good." "Do it as arranged." "Yes, sir." "Look." "After you finish eating, get back inside." "Come here." "Eat this." "Thank you." "Hey, I just heard a horse." "Yes, it must be my father going out." "I can ride a horse too." "Really?" "I will be able to ride on the clouds someday, too." "Really?" "On the clouds?" "I will use my ninja skills to fly, and see the moon and stars closer." "Take me with you!" "Girls can't go." "No way, no way!" "I'll take you." "Hey, teach me some ninja skills." "Alright." "No." "It's like this." "Ready?" "Dairikimaru!" "Dairikimaru!" "Take a look at this." "I would like to request a fair deal." "An exchange of Nene for the plans of the project." "Come and hand us the project, and we will release Nene." "One condition..." "We'll accept only one person to pay us a visit for the deal." "Ishikawa Goemon." "This is..." "Don't be fooled." "We cannot tolerate this." "We need to set up an army to take her back." "Milord, we can't." "Wait until Torawakamaru returns, and we'll handle the situation." "Please give us more time." "Hideyoshi and Masanori must be in panic now." "I just want to see their faces." "Just as we planned." "I made an arrangement of an exchange between Nene and the project." "Sagiri..." "I assume that you haven't forgotten the commandment of the Iga." "The ninja are not to be merciful to others and are not to receive any mercy." "This is all so confusing." "I feel so ashamed." "What?" "I learned to be sympathy towards others." "You fool!" "Having a life spared by enemy, you've disgraced the Iga name!" "I'll send you to hell!" "Wait." "She's not worth killing." "From today on, you're banished." "Please leave now." "Hello there." "I see." "You were tried through commandment." "Wait!" "Where are you heading?" "If you're a ninja, don't ask such questions." "We will do our best to show how good the Iga are." "Power will certainly fall into your hands." "By the way, our hatred enemy, I hear he's a youth of the Koga." "You clumsy fool." "I am Tozawa Hakunsai's son, Tozawa Torawakamaru." "I came here to take Nene back." "Step back, little monkey." "This is palace of Lord Ieyasu." "Be quiet!" "Where is Nene?" "Damn it!" "Little monkey..." "This is a rope tied using an Iga technique." "No matter how much you struggle, the rope won't loosen up." "Spend the rest of your life clearing up your mind." "Torawakamaru..." "Torawakamaru isn't back yet?" "I can't wait any longer!" "We're going for the rescue!" "Dairikimaru, gather an army." "We can't." "We definitely can't!" "Nonsense!" "Lord, I give you a word." "Torawakamaru will definately be here!" "Please!" "Torawakamaru!" "What a pitiful sight you are!" "Father!" "You used your techniques with all your might." "How could you end up like this!" "This way, you are no match with Momochi Sandayu." "Now, I will pass the secrets of the Koga style ninja arts to you." "Sagiri!" "You have no time to lose." "Goemon is using Nene for an exchange with the project plans." "What?" "Hurry!" "Thank you." " Don't mention it." "I'm just returning you a favor." "Hurry!" "Take care." "Damn you, traitor." "Step back!" "I'm looking for Ishikawa Goemon!" "I am Yamashiro Dairikimaru." "So, you've finally arrived." "I see." "You're Goemon." "I came alone, as according to the deal." "Release Nene." "Give me the project plans first." "Alright." "You tricked me." "Just watch what I'm going to do." "Torawakamaru!" "It's you again, little monkey." "You mean old bastard..." "Tormenting an innocent child and trying to steal the power from a lord...." "Goemon, prepare to die!" "Princess, are you alright?" "Nene!" "Goroichi!" "Hurry!" "We're going to ride that horse!" "I'm scared!" "It's alright." "I'm here with you." "Dairikimaru!" "We're here to give you a hand!" "Torawakamaru!" "It's Lord Masanori!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "It's great you're back safe." "All thanks to this amulet." "Thank you for bringing back my daughter." "I am very grateful." "May I ask your name?" "Goroichi." "And who is your father?" "My father is Ishikawa Goemon." "Goemon!" "?" "You're Goemon's son?" "Lemme go!" "Lemme go!" "Get in!" "Open the door!" "Open the door!" "Shut up!" "Stay quiet!" "I haven't done anything wrong." "If you don't shut up, I'll bite you!" "Idiot!" "If you don't open, I'm gonna pee in here!" "Oh no!" "We can't let him do that." "Open up!" "Open up!" "You little bastard!" "Just hurry up!" "Don't try anything stupid." "Listen!" "Listen!" "My father is back!" "What?" "The lord is back?" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Goroichi, now is the time." "Hurry!" "Nene, I'm going." "I will take you." "That's okay." "I go by myself" "You'll get lost." "Take me to the clouds next time!" "Sure, I will." "Good bye." "Good bye!" "What a disaster!" "How pitiful!" "My apologies." "Now I have to make the ultimate decision." "A request of a ninja competition will be held in the arena." "We will have Momochi Sandayu of Iga challenging Tozawa Torawakamaru of Koga." "The challenge will be accepted." "Sado..." "HIdeyoshi has accepted the challenge." "Wonderful!" "Sandayu, I wish you good luck." "Goemon, your role is very important." "If you succeed, you will be rewarded greatly." "Now, we shall begin the ninja competition." "Momochi Sandayu of Iga." "Tozawa Torawakamaru of Koga." "Prepare yourself, Sandayu." "Give up, Torawakamaru." "Father!" "Father!" "Father!" "Father!" "What are you going to do with my father?" "Goroichi!" "Shut up!" "Take the kid, too!" "Father!" "Father!" "Sit down!" "Sit down!" "How dare you!" "Who gave you the order to stab Lord Hideyoshi?" "No one!" "This is my will and no one else's doing!" "It's to show Hideyoshi my spirit!" "Shut your mouth!" "You are convicted along with boy for interrupting a fair duel." "No matter what you say, I'm only regretful that I couldn't fulfill my duty." "You bitter enemy!" "Masanori, I will have both of them executed in a boiling pot." "Father, wait." "What is it?" "Father, what about the boy?" "That's none of your business." "Go on." "Milord, wait." "Isn't there any way to spare the boy?" "Even if he may also be to blame, he's only a child." "Father, please forgive him." "Mother, please listen to me." "Milord, please." "Torawakamaru..." "I'm Hideyori's mother." "I do sympathize for the child." "Milord, please spare the life of the child." "It doesn't matter." "A child is a child..." "But he's still the child of an enemy." "He might grow up looking for revenge." "Milord!" "It is an exchange of words, but please leave the child to me." "I promise I will raise him to become a good man." "Father, I beg of you." "Please!" "Milord!" "Milord!" "Alright." "You may take the child." "The project is in secure, and Lord Hideyoshi is satisfied." "Yes." "And I am going on take Goroichi with me to a journey and training." "Goroichi!" "What is it?" "This is for you." "Thank you." "When you become an expert, take me with you to ride on the clouds." "Sure." "Next time we meet, I will take you." "We'll be leaving." "Take care of yourself." "Goroichi, be a great person." "Yes." "Goroichi, would you like to ride on the clouds?" "Oh, you can do that?" "Mr. Samurai, was my father really a bad person?" "No, your father was strong." "A great master of the ninja arts." "Really?" "He is watching over you, wanting you to become a great person." "Father, don't worry." "I'll grow up to be a great person." "Hey, take me to ride on the clouds!" "Shall we go then, Goroichi?" "Translated by Mitsuru Subtitled and Mastered by Cannibal King"
