Title: Shogun Assassination Arc Part Two
Title: Ninja Village
Warning,Sign: Watch the Shogun Assassination Arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!
Hat: The Honnoji Incident.
Hat: Akechi Mitsuhide's betrayal sent Oda Nobunaga up in flames.
Hat: It is said that Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu, future shogun,
Hat: was isolated near Kyoto and found himself in his most severe crisis ever.
Hat: The ones who sided with him and escorted him safely to Mikawa
Hat: were us Iga ninjas, in what came to be known as the Crossing of Iga.
Hat: This led to Lord Ieyasu taking the Iga ninjas under his wing,
Hat: and to this day, we continue to guard the shogun family as the Oniwaban.
Hat: Zenzo! Go stand in the hallway!
Sac: Sensei, that moron's been out there for ages.
Zen: I'm sick of listening to that crap.
Zen: Who cares about loyalty?
Zen: Leave the lectures to the samurai.
Zen: We should just focus on reading Jump and refining our skills.
Hat: Your skills aren't good enough, either!
Hat: Zenzo!
Hat: Standing in the hallway won't cool your head, huh?
Hat: Go stand in the river Styx!
Zen: That's more like it. Ninjas need not lectures,
Zen: but practice!
Sac: Sensei...
Sac: We're tired of this routine.
Sac: How ironic.
Sac: The ninjas who escorted the shogun east in the past
Sac: are now heading back west, escorting the shogun out of Edo.
Kao: It'd be fine if it were the shogun.
Kao: But just look at the people we're guarding.
Dango,Sign: Dango
Gin: Hey, quit dawdling!
Gin: I said, bring out all the dango this shop has!
Shin: Don't anger us.
Kag: Keep looking down on me, and I'll have all you slaves beheaded!
Gin: Sheesh. Being a leader ain't easy, huh?
Gin: Tea!
Gin: Who'd want to pay these useless retainers yen per hour?
Hij: I make more than that!
Gin: I'm so damn irritated.
Gin: The irritation keeps coming at me in a three-shift rotation.
Gin: We're parading the shogun out in broad daylight,
Gin: but the enemy's not falling for the trap at all.
Hij: In what world would a shogun like you exist?!
Gin: Are they even trying to assassinate me?
Gin: If they're not up for it, I shall return home at once.
Gin: Show yourself already, assassin!
Gin: The shogun's right here!
Gin: Come at me whenever!
Hij: Cut it out!
Hij: You'll ruin the plan!
Kao: How far the Oniwaban have fallen.
Kao: Well, I guess we're not alone in that regard.
Kao: Even if Shigeshige-sama does escape safely to Kyo,
Kao: can he really hope to make a comeback after losing so much power?
Kao: Does this path even have a future?
Kao: Zenzo probably didn't come because he took that into account.
Kao: Remember how he always said
Kao: that the Iga ninjas simply sold out,
Kao: and we haven't changed since the time we switched allegiances at the drop of a hat.
Kao: That the shogun was merely the highest bidder for the Oniwaban's services,
Kao: and that we never had any notions of loyalty to begin with.
Sac: He's not like that.
Sac: Sure, he's not loyal in the least,
Sac: but he probably...
G: Sarutobi!
Sho: The duty of the Oniwaban isn't to protect the shogun,
Sho: but rather to protect the shogun's duty.
Sho: And the shogun's duty
Sho: is to protect the country and its people, even at the cost of his life.
Sho: If I become the shogun someday,
Sho: I hope we can fight together
Sho: for this country.
Mai: Sh...
Mai: Shigeshige-sama...
Zen: I'm sorry to say,
Zen: but you can't protect this nation as its shogun.
Zen: So give up your life to fulfill the shogun's duty,
Zen: and I'll fulfill mine.
Mai: Z-Zenzo!
Zen: Make sure to burn the events that transpired here into your memory
Zen: and tell future generations about it.
Zen: I'm the man who assassinated the shogun,
Zen: traitor to the nation, Hattori Zenzo.
Zen: I'm prepared to bear that cross for eternity.
Zen: Sheesh.
Zen: I can't say I like these rough jobs.
G: What the hell is this?
G: Where'd they come from?
G: I thought the radar wasn't picking anything up!
G: What are the escort vessels doing?!
G: We've lost contact!
G: Just who are they?
G: Wh-What's going on?!
G: The escort vessels in the rear suddenly fired.
G: No...
G: There's an unidentified fleet up ahead, too!
G: Were we betrayed? No way!
G: Only the best and most loyal retainers knew about this plan!
G: Y-You...
Sac: Really?
G: Yeah.
G: Two scouts and three patrolmen
G: were all taken out with one blow from behind.
Kao: How'd they slip through the Oniwaban's net?
Sac: Are you saying there are traitors among us?
G: That's highly likely.
G: Anyway, it's too risky to head west like this.
G: We should assemble the whole squad and investigate.
Sac: There's no need to go to such lengths.
Sac: There are no traitors here.
Sac: There are only
Sac: fakes who disguised their faces but couldn't disguise their k*lling intent.
Gin: Jeez.
Gin: They finally fell for the trap, huh?
Gin: Or should I say, we fell for theirs?
Sac: It's a game of deception.
Sac: We'd prepared body doubles of the shogun,
Sac: but it seems they'd snuck in body doubles of our allies.
Sac: In other words,
Sac: the enemy's using ninjas, too.
Kam: Look at them go.
Kam: Ninjas sure are amazing.
Kam: Just by sneaking a few in, you can walk all over the enemy.
Kam: They're almost like termites.
Abu: What kind of analogy is that?
Kam: I never knew anyone other than samurai were that strong!
Kam: I'm getting all fired up!
Abu: Please don't. They're on our side.
Kam: I know, I know.
Kam: This time, I'm competing with Shinsuke
Kam: to see who can take the real shogun's head.
Abu: We won't get a chance to do anything.
Abu: Get a load of that kid.
Abu: Isn't she the shogun's little sister?
Abu: A VIP like that doesn't even have a bodyguard.
Abu: It'll soon be the end for the main keep, as well.
Oki: Look, Princess.
Oki: That's the offal.
Oki: That's the liver.
Oki: And that's—
Soyo: No! Stop it!
Oki: Now...
Oki: What's next? The heart, or the tripe?
Oki: Good grief. Hijikata-san's instinct was right on the money.
Oki: I've been made to sneak right into the maelstrom.
Oki: What an honor.
Oki: A country samurai like me, getting to play the last retainer defending the main keep.
Oki: Both the enemy's head and my lord's are riding on my sword.
Oki: Don't give me that look, Princess.
Oki: I'm on your side, you know.
Kam: Oops, my bad.
Kam: I thought I could fly if I opened my umbrella,
Kam: but it didn't work.
Oki: Hey...
Oki: What kind of punk-ass Sheeta are you?
Kam: Don't give me that look.
Kam: I'm one of your kind.
G: Using ninjas to tear us down from the inside was impressive.
G: But you guys have made a huge mistake!
Tak: I figured, because I feel like I'm slicing through butter here.
Tak: Apparently we picked the wrong option.
G: Y-You bastards won't be able to take the shogun's head.
Tak: I never cared about that to begin with.
Tak: What we're after isn't the head,
Tak: but you guys, the shogun's limbs.
G: T-Takasugi!
G: Don't tell me you guys...
Tak: It's not just here.
Tak: We're targeting every area the shogun faction scattered to.
G: No way...
G: How'd you assemble such a massive force?
G: Who's pulling your strings? Where's the mastermind?
Tak: In the same hell you're about to go to.
Kam: All right. I'm done cleaning.
Kam: Now I can fight without worry.
Kam: You should hurry up and get rid of that, too.
Kam: You can't go all-out with her in the way, right?
Oki: Tell me, are all of you guys carrying umbrellas around all day without a care in the world
Oki: out of your g*dd*mn minds?
Kam: Aren't you the same?
Kam: Takes one to know one, as they say.
Kam: You don't actually care about the shogun, do you?
Kam: You've got the eyes of someone who flocked here 'cause you smelled blood.
Kam: The eyes of a k*ller.
Kam: Relax.
Kam: Even if you only fight criminals...
Kam: I'm one very heinous criminal.
Oki: Then...
Oki: Give me your best sh*t.
Oki: Try hitting here next time.
Oki: Take careful aim,
Oki: 'cause if you miss, you'll be the one with the hole in his chest,
Oki: Mr. Self-Proclaimed Space Criminal.
Oki: Quit looking down on Earth's policemen.
: Was that
Kam: from a corpse?
Soyo: Okita-san!
Soyo: Okita-san!
Mai: Princess!
Soyo: Gramps!
Soyo: You're all right? Hurry and escape!
Soyo: Wait, Okita-san got caught up in an expl*si*n.
Soyo: And Brother still hasn't...
Soyo: Where is he?
Soyo: He's all right, isn't he? Tell me he's okay!
Soyo: Why won't you answe—
Mai: Princess...
Oki: Could you quit wasting time and take her away already?
Mai: O-Okita-dono!
Oki: Get going.
Oki: Just one of these monsters would be a handful, and there are ten.
Oki: I don't know how many minutes I can buy you.
Abu: Hey, Commander.
Abu: This is why I told you not to do anything stupid.
Kam: Talk about a fragile ship.
Kam: Things were just getting good, too.
Abu: Yeah, they were getting good.
Abu: A few inches over, and I could've bid farewell to a real pain in the ass.
Kam: Give me a sec. It'll be taken care of soon.
Abu: No can do. I'm not going down with this ship.
Abu: Besides, it's all taken care of already.
Zen: Give it a rest.
Zen: Haven't you had enough?
Zen: If it's a head you want...
Zen: If it's the shogun's head you want, it's right here.
Kag: Gin-chan, these guys...
Shin: Sacchan-san!
Sac: All the scouts have been taken out.
Sac: Judging from their techniques, they're most definitely Iga people.
Shin: Iga people?
Sac: People from the ninja village that gave birth to us Oniwaban.
Shin: Then your brethren are doing this?
Sac: Within the Iga-style ninjas,
Sac: the Oniwaban is a branch of sorts that was hired by Lord Ieyasu.
Sac: But those who stayed behind in Iga hold no loyalty toward the shogun family.
Sac: They're a band of mercenaries that only look out for themselves.
Sac: And now they've moved out to take the shogun's head.
Sac: No, this is more like...
Sac: The ninja village itself has turned into the shogun's enemy.
Sac: Who could be mobilizing such a huge force?
Sac: The only ones capable are the three great ninjas who rule over Iga!
Sac: Head of the Fujibayashi Clan, Fujibayashi Gaimon.
Sac: Head of the Momochi Clan, Momochi Rappa.
Sac: And the head of the Hattori Clan,
Sac: Hattori Zenzo.
Zen: This is the end.
Zen: Your lord is already dead.
Zen: Whatever you were supposed to protect is now gone.
Kam: Who's that?
Abu: He works fast, all right.
Abu: Hattori Zenzo, the cornerstone of the Shogun assassination plot,
Abu: and one of the leaders of Iga.
Zen: I don't recall ever leading such an unruly mob.
Zen: I could've handled this myself, but now you've made a mess of things.
Abu: Well, aren't you a confident one?
Zen: Yeah.
Zen: Feel free to examine it.
Zen: It's most definitely Tokugawa Shigeshige's head.
Abu: So you really could k*ll your former lord.
Zen: He was the one who said he would protect the country and its people.
Zen: If his head could put an end to pointless conflict, I'm sure he was glad to give it.
Oki: Pointless conflict?
Oki: That's rich, coming from a guy who didn't fight to protect a thing.
Zen: Send word to all the units.
Zen: Tell them this little ruckus is over,
Zen: and that they ought to work smart.
Oki: Hold it!
Abu: I guess it's about time.
Abu: Let's go.
G: What about him?
Abu: Leave him.
Abu: They don't even have a reason to fight anymore.
Abu: Hey, Commander!
Abu: Good grief.
Abu: Both these morons still have their game faces on.
Oki: Know that Earth has a custom known as battles for revenge,
Oki: Criminal.
Kam: I'll keep that in mind,
Kam: Policeman.
Sac: I can't believe you were on their side.
Sac: Just what are you plotting?
Rap: Ninjas carry out their missions in silence.
Rap: Hand over the shogun or these whelps will die.
Rap: That's all you're getting from me.
Gai: Momochi, you should spell it out.
Gai: Tell them that they stand in the way of our success.
Rap: Silence, Fujibayashi.
Gai: So you really don't know what state the ninja homeland is in right now.
Gai: Six months ago, cannonballs rained down from the sky above Iga.
Gai: The village was att*cked by a strangely-dressed mob carrying umbrellas.
Gai: If we defied them, they would burn down the village.
Gai: But if we helped assassinate the shogun,
Gai: we'd be hired as the new Oniwaban for the reformed government.
Gai: That was the deal they offered us.
Sac: You actually took that cheap bait?
Gai: Didn't you people do the same before?
Gai: We lagged behind you during the Crossing of Iga,
Gai: but it's our turn this time.
Rap: It appears we were too late.
Rap: The Hattori brat has already taken the shogun's head.
Rap: Too bad, Fujibayashi.
Rap: The Hattori Clan will hog all the glory again.
Gai: No.
Gai: There's still plenty of glory to go around.
Gai: Men!
Gai: We don't need this trash anymore!
Gai: k*ll as many as you can and cover yourself in glor—
Hij: I know you went out of your way to give that order,
Hij: but we don't take orders from you.
Kag: Toshi!
Hij: Don't call me that.
Kon: True that. There's only one man in this entire country who can order us around.
Gai: When did you bastards...
Gai: Quit standing around and k*ll them!
Gai: Momochi, you too—
Rap: I'm sorry.
Rap: I'm not obligated to take orders from a traitor who was in cahoots with the enemy, either.
Gai: Momochi, you couldn't have!
Rap: I'd already accepted a request, you see.
Rap: How about this for an idea?
Rap: Let's have the highest-ranked person here take charge.
Gai: N-No way...
Gai: You can't be...
Sho: I order you as shogun.
Sho: Take out the rebels.
Gai: I-It's the shogun?!

Zen: Welcome to ninja country.
Sho: They're precious friends.
Kag: Gin-chan! Sho-chan!
Abu: Can you protect this country?!

Oki: Hold it!
Abu: I guess it's about time.
Abu: Let's go.
G: What about him?
Abu: Leave him.
Abu: They don't even have a reason to fight anymore.
Abu: Hey, Commander!
Abu: Good grief.
Abu: Both these morons still have their game faces on.
Oki: Know that Earth has a custom known as battles for revenge,
Oki: Criminal.
Kam: I'll keep that in mind,
Kam: Policeman.
Sac: I can't believe you were on their side.
Sac: Just what are you plotting?
Rap: Ninjas carry out their missions in silence.
Rap: Hand over the shogun or these whelps will die.
Rap: That's all you're getting from me.
Gai: Momochi, you should spell it out.
Gai: Tell them that they stand in the way of our success.
Rap: Silence, Fujibayashi.
Gai: So you really don't know what state the ninja homeland is in right now.
Gai: Six months ago, cannonballs rained down from the sky above Iga.
Gai: The village was att*cked by a strangely-dressed mob carrying umbrellas.
Gai: If we defied them, they would burn down the village.
Gai: But if we helped assassinate the shogun,
Gai: we'd be hired as the new Oniwaban for the reformed government.
Gai: That was the deal they offered us.
Sac: You actually took that cheap bait?
Gai: Didn't you people do the same before?
Gai: We lagged behind you during the Crossing of Iga,
Gai: but it's our turn this time.
Rap: It appears we were too late.
Rap: The Hattori brat has already taken the shogun's head.
Rap: Too bad, Fujibayashi.
Rap: The Hattori Clan will hog all the glory again.
Gai: No.
Gai: There's still plenty of glory to go around.
Gai: Men!
Gai: We don't need this trash anymore!
Gai: k*ll as many as you can and cover yourself in glor—
Hij: I know you went out of your way to give that order,
Hij: but we don't take orders from you.
Kag: Toshi!
Hij: Don't call me that.
Kon: True that. There's only one man in this entire country who can order us around.
Gai: When did you bastards...
Gai: Quit standing around and k*ll them!
Gai: Momochi, you too—
Rap: I'm sorry.
Rap: I'm not obligated to take orders from a traitor who was in cahoots with the enemy, either.
Gai: Momochi, you couldn't have!
Rap: I'd already accepted a request, you see.
Rap: How about this for an idea?
Rap: Let's have the highest-ranked person here take charge.
Gai: N-No way...
Gai: You can't be...
Sho: I order you as shogun.
Sho: Take out the rebels.
Gai: I-It's the shogun?!
