Ninja Kamui

Now we can finally talk.

Higan.

I've made sure this call can't be intercepted by anyone.

So don't worry.

- Who is this? - I can't tell you that yet.

Why not?

You're heading for AUZA City, right?

The whole place is protected by a multi-layered security system.

It's going to be impossible for you to get past that

and find a way into the city alone.

Let me help you.

You really think I would trust a voice over the phone?

Learning about others but letting them learn nothing of you in the process.

That is the true essence of a ninja's cunning.

That verse... a ninja poem.

You and I are in similar circumstances.

An exiled ninja?

If you want to fulfill your objective,

then wait for me at the location that I'm about to send.

Whether or not I'm worthy of trust is up to you.

NINJA KAMUI

I love daddy because he protects everyone from the bad guys.

- Come on. - Aren't you gonna answer that?

It's just my wife. I need to stay focused on the investigation.

But we don't even know if that eyewitness report is legit or not.

They say the guy was asleep at the wheel.

I've been calling you nonstop.

I thought I could handle the challenges

of marrying and having a family with an FBI agent,

but I was wrong.

How are you feeling?

Damn it, Ducky, you almost gave me a heart attack.

Claimed they're gonna help, huh?

How can you be sure this person is really another exiled ninja like you?

They knew a poem that was only passed down in the old organization,

and nobody has spoken of it since we came to this country.

So you're telling me that's enough to win your trust?

This mystery person knows what they're talking about.

The complexity of the city's security system is no joke.

Like, I'm pretty sure literally only a ghost could get past it.

But what if all of this is a trap?

- Then I'll kill them all. - Did you just say that out loud?

Remember that our alliance is only temporary.

Okay, now, how are we going to get into the city?

Considering my last chat with our boss, they got eyes on me already.

Oh, yeah. There's no doubt about that. Let's just call it quits.

Come on, now. You're the one who said the best way to get the dirt on AUZA

was to find a way into their headquarters.

- And I agree with you on that. - But I never said it was possible.

- Well, there's got to be some way-- - Nope. Can't be done.

- Why not? - Don't worry. We'll be fine.

- I found another good lead. - Really, now?

There's this community of users on the dark web

who've been keeping tabs on AUZA's actions.

They claim AUZA is plotting to take over the world

and that they're building weapons of mass destruction.

So they're another bunch of loony conspiracy theorists.

But why go out of the way to put it on the dark web?

- Better safe than sorry, I guess. - I found the location of the site admin.

He claims to be one of their former researchers.

- Great. - He's pretty far away from here, though.

That's not an issue. I'll be going alone.

- What? - You've done enough for now.

I'll take it from here.

This is a job for old-timers like me who've got nothing left to lose.

There is no way I'm letting you hog all the glory on this.

What?

We're on the verge of uncovering AUZA's dirty secrets,

and with any luck, we may get our hands on some of their cutting-edge data!

That stuff could be worth thousands!

No, I would go as far as to say millions of dollars.

Are you serious?

That's the deal. We're still in this together.

Stay on your toes.

Mind if I ask you something?

Did your wife know? Did you tell her what you were?

She did, because Mari was also a ninja.

Do ninjas normally have families?

No. The two of us broke the code.

What code?

Ninjas must be emotionally detached, even from their allies.

I see.

You broke the code and chose your family.

That's fantastic! He's quite the fighter, isn't he?

Just one of those mass-produced units alone

can destroy an entire army platoon, and it wasn't even a match for him.

He is quite the gladiator, isn't he?

I bet you're itching to screw him, aren't you?

No, depraved little man.

Oh, please. I'm a businessman, you see.

I don't do any fighting, nor do I want any victories.

I need data.

What happens if he shows up? You gonna bend over for him?

That's what my talented secretary is here for.

- Isn't that right? - Correct.

Hey, Dilly, what kind of techniques did he use to tame you?

Sir, do I have your permission to share the details of your techniques

with this sick bastard?

Let's not right now. Also, watch your language.

My apologies, sir.

So, does anybody have a plan? You must realize that he's headed here.

No need for concern. The city's defenses are 100% impenetrable.

Wait. Hold on. You mustn't say something like 100% so casually, Aska.

Probability is a... Pardon me.

Big D?

Big D? Are you listening?

Let me just say, my fresh cut is looking superfly today.

And if this ninja dares to try and mess up my new fade, he's dead.

Lovely. What about the bush down by your Big D--

That's enough mindless chatter.

We all know Higan is a force not to be trifled with.

So the plan remains the same.

We must learn how his technique works in order to eliminate him.

- And what about his FBI friend? - He's powerless against us.

We can deal with him if he ever becomes an issue.

Don't make this any more complicated than it needs to be.

You're not the boss of me. You can't order me around.

But I agree with your assessment.

Hey, Dilly, how far do you think that ninja will get?

- Why? Are you concerned about him? - No, I'm very excited.

Why do you think I joined forces with you guys in the first place?

Fingers crossed, hopefully we can get some data on our prototype.

Hope he doesn't die too quickly.

Just say the word, and I will exterminate him, Master.

You aren't going anywhere. I will send the others after Higan.

We will force him to reveal his secrets to us.

Their deaths will not matter to the organization.

Nevertheless, it's only a matter of time before our task is completed.

We of the ninja clan are bound by the code,
