"NINJA WARS" "Why do people fight each other?" "Why do they kill each other?" "Although everyone says they advocate peace..." "Why does it happen?" "In Eiroku period [1558-1570], Japan was... in the middle of the Era of Civil Wars." "Some books from those days contain the name of the wizard, Kashin-koji." "He was said to have changed into a bird and to have revived the dead." "Who on earth was the man?" "That remains a mystery even today." "How beautiful it is." "Do you like it, Lady Ukyodayu." "I am so glad." "I appreciate it." "With your remark, I, Danjo Hisahide feel my effort of building this castle tower is rewarded." "Oh, you're joking again." "No, I'm not joking, Milady." "Danjo." "My wife is a naive person, so she cannot respond adequately." "Do not concern yourself about her so much." "Oh, excuse me." "My heart was captivated by her beauty, and without my knowing I behaved rudely." "I apologize." "Sir Danjo." "So, shouldn't the tea be ready by now?" "Yes." "I know." "Milady..." "The tea-ceremony master of the country, Sen-no-Soeki has made this tea with the best utensils of the country." "This is very good artistry." "This teakettle with the spider relief is too good for Matsunaga Danjo to possess." "It could not be helped." "He insisted it should be given to him for the opening of the tea-ceremony room." "That man is like an animal." "He looked at you as if he was watching a prostitute." "A prostitute?" "What's the matter, Shinzaemon?" "Please do not move." "What's wrong?" "Who are you?" "That's what one would expect of the head of the Yagyu manor, Shinzaemon." "You certainly detected my coming, Shinzaemon." "Speak your name!" "I am Kashin-koji." "Kashin?" "Kashin-koji." "Danjo." "I have come to realize your dream." "What?" "The one who captures the heart of Ukyodayu, the wife of your lord, Miyoshi Yoshioki will have the country in his hands." "My divination sign tells me so." "Is that true?" "Is that true?" " You should not listen to him, Sir Danjo." "This man is of an evil spirit." "Wait!" "Are you going to disobey me, Shinza?" "Do you want to turn Yagyu manor into a sea of blood?" "Sir Danjo!" " No, don't say it!" "Otherwise, the kin of Yagyu will be extinguished from this earth." "The tea ceremony is already over, Shinzaemon." "Danjo." "He is gone." "Tell me, Kashin." "How will I be able to get Ukyodayu... no, the country?" "You only need to trust my power." "What?" "Rasetsuho." "Who is that man?" "Just a little ninja." "Ninja?" "So, who sent him?" "But, this is splendid." "What this man did doesn't look humanly possible." "But this is a human being." "By the way, Danjo..." "From today, I will entrust my five disciples, including Rasetsuho to you, Danjo." "Capture the heart of Ukyodayu..." "And you will have this country under your rule." "Love potion." "It is a love potion." "Love potion?" "The mystery will begin soon..." "Kashin!" "I've done it." "Kagaribi, you've finally mastered Ninja Art Mikagetsu-ken." "Jotaro, I owe it all to your flute playing." "You have become a full-fledged female ninja." "From now on, you can fight enemies alone." "No." "I don't want to if I am not with you, Jotaro." "Kagaribi, you're not a child any more." "If I'm with Jotaro, I will fight enemies." "Wait!" "Kagaribi!" "Kagaribi!" "Kagaribi." "You will marry whomever is decided by the chief." "That is the rule." "I know." "But I have decided." "I will tell the chief that..." "No one but Kagaribi can be my wife." "Jotaro." "Kagaribi." "Why are you after us?" "Take off your hat!" "What do you want from us?" "Fubuki Jotaro, we do not have any business with you." "What we want is that woman." "What?" "Go tell the chief." "They aren't ordinary people." "But..." "Hurry, Kagaribi." "Go!" "Hurry." "Jotaro." "Go!" "This is Suijubo's secret skill." "Is this...?" "He's dead, sir." "Kashin-koji..." "He's a ninja." "It seems that he deceived the enemy by pretending to be dead." "Is this...?" "She looks exactly like Ukyodayu." "I will have this woman." "Understand?" "I will have her." "We will give her to you, of course." "But, it will be after we take the source of the love potion from this woman." "Is that right, Kokuuho?" "What?" "That's right." "She is a virgin with complete purity." "And she is related to Ukyodayu." "The tears she'll shed when she'll be made into a woman by us will be the source of the love potion taught by Kashin-koji." "Wait." "Then, this girl is a relative of Ukyodayu?" "She is her twin sister." "Twin?" "Even if their father is an Ashikaga shogun, their mother is a married Christian woman." "That's why Ukyodayu was adopted by a court noble." "And this girl was secretly abandoned." "Is that right?" "Good." "If it's in order to make Ukyodayu fall in love with me, nothing will stand in my way." "Hurry and make this love potion." "Hurry." "No, no." "Please wait." "We need to mix more than 10 kinds of drugs imported from European countries with the tears of this woman and boil it down for about two hours." "And the kettle needed to boil it down..." "Yes..." "It should be the teakettle with the spider figure, the most famous one in the country." "Jotaro!" "Where is Jotaro?" "He's dead." "It's a lie!" "If you're sad, cry." "Cry!" "Hold a grudge against god!" "The first big mistake is that people love each other and trust each other." "Curse!" "Be crazed!" "And..." "Let us make you into a woman." "This is wonderful!" "What the..." "You!" "What are you going to do?" "Isaribi..." "Isaribi!" "Why you!" "Have you gone crazy?" "You're disturbing us." "Kill them!" "Don't let any of those monsters leave alive!" "Milord." "Are you going to kill me?" "Stop." "Stop!" "You're..." "I can't believe it." "And... why?" "Why are you wearing Isaribi's clothes?" "Isaribi..." "Isaribi, have you been revived, too?" "This..." "This head...!" "Doesn't happen often but I've made a little mistake." "Did you exchange their heads?" "It was a little failure that their blood didn't mix well and she went insane." "Their blood didn't mix well?" "Yes, but..." "Even if the face is Isaribi's, the body is that of a virgin with total purity." "So, Kagaribi's heart remains in this woman." "Then... then..." "This woman is..." "And that woman is..." "Please, Milord..." "Please treat me with affection..." "Me, with the same face as Ukyodayu..." "Please, now." "What shall we name this woman?" "Shall we call her "Onibi" [fire demon] from now on?" "Kagaribi!" "Kagaribi." "Cry!" "Cry until you run out of tears!" "I want your tears." "By mixing the tears and more than 10 kinds of drugs and boiling them down, this love potion is created." "And we take a little of this." "Please look." "After she drinks it, she will love the first man she sees." "Will she be like this?" "Will Ukyodayu be like this?" "Yes, she will be more than this." "With the two of us alone..." "Kagaribi!" "Kagaribi." "Jotaro." "You're alive." "I'm glad." "Who are you?" "Jotaro, Kagaribi has died." "What?" "Is that true?" "She died." "Don't touch me!" "Kagaribi was raped." "Raped?" "That cross..." "Jotaro!" "Jotaro." "Kagaribi is no longer near you." "She cannot be near you." "If I am with you, Jotaro, I will fight the enemies." "Kagaribi..." "What on earth..." "What on earth happened to Kagaribi?" "Hagunbo, trace that smell." "We underestimated her because she's a crazy woman." "Matsunaga Danjo and the five magic monks..." "Are you saying that they made you go through such a thing?" "Just because Danjo wanted to make your sister, Ukyodayu, love him!" "Just for that purpose." "Jotaro." "I cannot die..." "I cannot die as it is." "Kagaribi..." "I will definitely avenge you." "I'll drop Danjo and his five monsters into hell..." "And I'll make sure to protect your sister." "Jotaro." "Kagaribi." "Jotaro." "Please think of this as Kagaribi." "Kagaribi." "Jotaro..." "Jotaro..." "Do not trust the woman who has Kagaribi's face now..." "Kagaribi." "What's wrong with your nose?" "He sprinkled some powder of prickly ash." "He must be carrying that injured woman." "Destroy the demons with our love." "Kagaribi, I killed one of them." "Why?" "I'm sure I..." "We are immortal." "We'll take that teakettle." "Kokubo!" "Chief!" "Premises of Hattori Hanzo" "Chief." "Chief, Kagaribi was..." "Say no more." "Jotaro, who decided Kagaribi was to be your wife?" "You have violated the rules..." "If you insist on fighting those men leave the Iga clan." "Chief..." "Thank you for taking care of me for so long." "Throw that away." "It is a source of misfortune." "I won't throw it away." "Kagaribi was killed for this." "It's also the proof of Danjo's evil." "Do not follow him!" "Goodbye, Jotaro." "Hattori Hanzo drove the youngster away from Iga manor?" "Hanzo..." "Sensing that his manor will be destroyed, he tries to survive by cutting off his tail." "It seems so." "My four comrades are searching for that youngster now." "He will be found soon." "In three days in Todaiji temple..." "The "prayer for peace" ceremony by the Miyoshi family will be held." "By having Ukyodayu drink the love potion by then..." "I want to show Yoshioki her love for me." "Teakettle." "The teakettle." "Jotaro will come to Todaiji temple, Milord." "What?" "Jotaro must have heard about Ukyodayu from Isaribi, who had the heart of Kagaribi." "Jotaro will surely come to Todaiji temple for Ukyodayu." "Jotaro is that kind of man." "It may be as Onibi says." "Isaribi's body and Kagaribi's head..." "She must sense something." "Because something inside her tells her." "Milord..." "What?" "By the technique of dazzling monk soldiers..." "I will take the country." "Three days later..." "Todaiji Temple" "Who are you?" "Where are you monk soldiers from?" "The technique of dazzling!" "What?" "Monks from some unknown temple have attacked?" "Yes." "We don't know what this is about." "Damn!" "They set fire to Daibutsu-den!" "[building that holds the great image of Buddha]" "Kill them!" "Kill them!" "Milady!" "Milady, please go first!" "Who are you?" "What are you doing?" "Damn you!" "Have you gone crazy?" "Milord!" "Milord!" "Milady..." "Milady was..." "What happened to my wife?" "She was... taken by an unidentified man... and..." "They went toward the Daibutsu-den." "What?" "Lord!" "Milord!" "Milady!" " Watch out!" "Milady." "I'm all right." "Milady, please stay here." "I'll look for medicine to cool your temperature." "Wait." "What is your name?" "My name is Jotaro." "Jotaro..." "Lord!" "Lord!" "Please wait!" "Shut up!" "Lord, it's dangerous to ride a horse in wilderness alone." "Lord!" "Don't come near me!" "Lord!" "Lord!" "Is Kashin-koji a fool?" "Say something." "Milord." "I heard that Jotaro entered the fire by his own choice." "His own choice?" "Jotaro is a ninja." "He must be somewhere with Ukyodayu..." "I'm sorry I'm back so late." "I went far for this today." "It is a new wonder drug that'll cool down your temperature." "Why are you so nice to me?" "Why did you help me?" "You can tell me now." "Milady." "Please only think getting well as soon as possible." "If you get well, you can return to your mansion in Kyoto." "I am not upset being here." "I want to stay here." "Jotaro, I don't know why, but..." "I want to stay with you." "I want to stay with you forever." "Kagaribi." "Kagaribi?" "Milady." "Kagaribi was a woman who was to be my wife." "Is that so?" "This is... her keepsake." "Milady..." "I will tell you everything." "Do you believe me?" "I trusted you from the beginning." "I entered the fire with you." "Milady." "Jotaro, I'll return to the mansion..." "But, in your physical condition..." "I'm all right." "I will disclose everything to Yoshioki and pay off my sister Kagaribi's old debts." "Milady!" "It's my duty as her sister." "I'll be all right." ""A monster has located you. "" ""He will come back with his comrades." "Get away. "" ""Hurry!"" "Who wrote that?" "I do not know." "But..." "We have no choice but to believe this now." "They're not here." "They got away!" "Jotaro." "Milady." "Jotaro, I'm sorry." "Where are they?" "Where did they go?" "Jotaro." "To fight those demons' evil power..." "You need an equivalently strong heart to trust people." "You have that heart." "Please tell me your name at least." "I don't need a name." "Milady..." "Jotaro." "I shall surely tell about the teakettle to my husband." "Jotaro." "I will certainly take Milady safely to her mansion." "Farewell!" "Do not die, Jotaro!" "Those five monsters..." "Who is that man named Jotaro?" "He's a young man dressed like a mountain ascetic who helped me." "Milord, that man..." " Silence!" "If he had the teakettle with the spider figure that Sen-no-Soeki presented to Matsunaga Danjo..." "He must be a thief." "Wife, your mind is disturbed now." "Milord." "Matsunaga is a horrible man." "How many times do I have to tell you before you understand?" "Matsunaga Danjo is the chief vassal of the Miyoshi Family." "Are you telling me to believe a thief..." "And the men dressed in black who brought you here?" "Milord." "Don't you believe anything I said?" "You don't believe a single thing." "The teakettle and Matsunaga..." "Wife." "I will give the teakettle back to Danjo." "So do not touch it!" "Understood?" "Jotaro." "Kagaribi." "You do not have to be so surprised." "Kashin knows everything thoroughly." "Is the love potion made from the teakettle at Miyoshi's mansion?" "And Ukyodayu too?" "Kashin, we have to hurry and settle this." "Release me from your spell!" "Kashin!" "Kashin!" "Kashin!" "Hurry!" "You don't have to hurry." "You have those five magic monks." "And this woman." "Too." "Sooner or later..." "What?" "Will Onibi be...?" "Damned Jotaro..." "Who were those people on horses who took them away?" "The chief will find out who they are sooner or later." "My hunch tells me..." "That they are definitely not people of the Iga clan." "I can rely on the chief's hunch, but I cannot rely on your hunch." "Bastard." "You've been resurrected many times thanks to me." "You cannot underestimate a doctor." "That's true." "Thank you, doctor." "Now, you are no longer immortal." "Jotaro." "Let's forget everything..." "And let's live happily together." "Jotaro." "Please tell me one thing." "Who were those men dressed in black and riding horses?" "Jotaro." "You will tell me, won't you?" "Kagaribi." "Who were those men dressed in black on horseback?" "Kagaribi." "I know now." "You're the monster who didn't show its face." "I could have stolen your heart if you had held me longer." "It was unexpected to be disturbed by a dead woman!" "What are you telling me?" "Jotaro set the fire?" "No, it's not true." "I heard Jotaro confessed that he had set fire to Todaiji temple." "Anyway, it was judged that he will be beheaded." "Beheaded?" "And also..." "Danjo will come to our house soon to apologize for the inconvenience caused by the thief at his castle." "Everything will be settled if we return the teakettle then." "That will be good." "That will truly be good." "Jotaro will be beheaded?" "What?" "Ukyodayu disappeared?" "Without saying where she's going and by herself, she left dressed in travelling clothes..." "Do not joke!" "I will certainly find her." "Milord." "I will be Ukyodayu." "While the true Ukyodayu is away from home..." "I will claim to be Ukyodayu and enter Miyoshi mansion." "What?" "And I will play the role of the one who captured Lord Danjo's heart." "There's no need for her to drink the love potion." "If Miyoshi Yoshioki, who is in love with Ukyodayu happens to die of something..." "Ukyodayu is a daughter of the shogun." "You will have an enough ground to take the country under your rule." "The country..." "But, if..." "Milord." "In case the true Ukyodayu..." "I will behead her as an unpardonable impostor." "That is what is expected of Kashin-koji." "What's the matter?" "Could you do what I asked?" "Yes, I'll do it if it's for you, Miss Onibi." "Jotaro, hurry." "You..." "I've come to help you." "I'm Ukyodayu." "Milady." "Why are you doing such a dangerous thing?" "I tricked the gatekeeper into fetching the key." "Jotaro, we must hurry." "Let's go." "The true Onibi went to Kyoto, disguising herself as you." "You disguised yourself as Onibi to come here." "This is fate." "Jotaro." "Milady, let's go." "You monster!" "What's the matter?" "Catch them!" "Hold them down!" "Hold them down!" "Jotaro!" "Jotaro!" "Jotaro!" "Jotaro!" "I am glad that you've come back safely." "And you no longer have any sign of the madness you had." "I feel that I cannot believe it's true." "Wife." "Wife." "Wife." "You..." "You are..." "Wife." "Wife." "Who are you?" "I am Milady's new waiting maid." "My name is Chidori." "Chidori?" "Milord, don't you like me?" "No, I like you." "I like you very much, Chidori!" "Tomorrow..." "Lord Danjo will come to pay his respects to you." "Milord, you will do exactly what I whisper into your heart." "All right?" "Yes." "Yes." "Milady!" "Milady!" "The man in black..." "The case of Todaiji temple..." "And the case of the teakettle with the spider figure are attributable to my lack of virtue." "I am very sorry." "Yes." "Yes." "It's all right." "Everything is all right now." "This is the teakettle that was stolen." "Take it." "This is truly the one stolen from the castle." "I accept this with appreciation." "Please wait!" "Milady has already come back..." "Please wait!" "What on earth is happening?" "There are..." "There are two of you." "Milord..." "This woman is a fake." "No." "The fake is that woman." "Milord." "Please do not be deceived!" "Milord, that woman is the fake." "The voice is somewhat..." "But..." "But..." "It is as if looking in a mirror..." "But there cannot be two." "But..." "But..." "The impostor must be killed!" "Milord!" "Milord..." "Please hurry..." "Kill the impostor." "Milord." "I cannot tell." "I cannot anymore..." "I cannot tell anything anymore." "Milord!" "Lord!" "Lord!" "Lord!" "Quiet down!" "Quiet down!" "Quiet down!" "Lord Miyoshi Yoshiaki went crazy and killed himself." "From now on..." "Guard of the Miyoshi Family's territories is taken over by Matsunaga Danjo, chief retainer of the family." "Nothing is better than the real thing." "Isn't that right, Lady Ukyodayu?" "Drink!" "You drink this!" "Drink this and then look into my face." "Burglar!" "Burglar!" "Kill him!" "Kill him!" "Danjo!" "Look at this, kid!" "Jotaro!" "You're a fool, kid!" "Who are you?" "Shinzaemon!" "Lord Yagyu!" "Danjo!" "Take this!" "Damn you, Kashin-koji." "Jotaro!" "Jotaro!" "Damn you, Kashin-koji." "Come out!" "Jotaro!" "Jotaro!" "Milady." "Jotaro!" "Jotaro!" "Jotaro, I'm glad you are here." "The five monks were not unskilled." "Kashin!" "You are..." "Kashin-koji!" "Jotaro!" "Milady!" "Jotaro." "Milady." "Damn you, Kashin." "Jotaro, do not come any closer." "Don't come any closer." "Don't come any closer, Jotaro!" "Don't come any closer!" "Please destroy the demon with our love." "Jotaro." "I love you, Jotaro." "Please destroy the demon with our love." "Jotaro." "Love potion..." "Fools..."
