IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WARRING STATE PERIOD...

Oichi Kittan, you better give up and face the facts as an honorabIe ninja.

Kittan, do you pIan to go to the Takeda and disappear?

I don't know. - What?

I don't know untiI I try...

I, Suzumeno Saburoza wiII teach you, it's not that easy.

Oh, it's you who cIaims that the best ninja of the Takeda...

Suzumeno, a human being can't act onIy by pIans.

It's heart. FoIIow your heart.

Takeda Shingen... bah!

I miss seeing him.

He's just Iike a coId and smeIIy fish.

One more animaI, come out!

I give up!

I am Doko Harima and I'm quite famous in Kanto.

Why are you giving up?

This isn't a suitabIe career for me.

I think, this job is not worth putting my energy into.

Then, why did you foIIow me?

To kiII you!

But I reaIized, I can't kiII an inexperienced man.

And...

And?

You might be stronger than I am...

I watched you, and you didn't give him a chance.

You don't seem Iike a ninja.

You're right!

Being a ninja is not my styIe.

Oh! Here's some food.

Between Takeda's castIe and Kiso vaIIey...

you kiIIed eighteen men, incIuding Suzumeno. Saburoza.

WeII done.

You aIso did a good job counting...

If you're right, next wiII be number 19...

Why are you foIIowing me?

I was going to ask you the same question.

Why do you keep waIking in front of me?

If you try something, I'II kiII you.

Same here...

but that scar of yours keeps bothering me.

Scar? I have no scar.

No need to hide it.

You do have at Ieast one broken rib.

It must have broken when Saburoza's sword guard hit your chest.

Is it painfuI? - No.

You're bIuffing.

You better stay around here untiI winter's over and then caIm down.

CaIm down? - Yes.

He's Takeda Shingen. He's not that easy.

He wiII find me no matter where I am...

You maybe right.

He wiII come Iooking for me no matter where or what.

It must be hard to being chased.

What? - Wait!

By the way... Iet me ask you something.

If... if I am the person who is chasing you...

what wiII you do?

I wiII kiII you.

You Iook serious.

But I don't want you to do that. Do you know why?

I guess you don't.

Then I wiII teII you...

If I get kiIIed now, Japan's history wiII change...

You stiII don't get it, do you?

You are most confused.

You don't know the man's determination to become the ruIer of this country.

Let me ask you this...

If you succeed in getting away, what are you going to be?

I wiII be the ruIer of the country someday.

What's so funny?

Excuse me!

If you have to, can you kiII even your own famiIy?

No, I don't think so...

If you try to be ruIer of this dangerous worId, you have to have the guts to.

Otherwise, you better give up.

Maybe, it's too soon to be threatening you.

Or you shouId find a sponsor.

A sponsor? - Yes.

You Iook around and find a person you can take advantage of.

An exampIe...

An exampIe... who?

How about Kinoshita Tokichiro?

Kinoshita?

Tokichiro...

Don't you know him?

I don't know such a name.

Such a name?

If he is Iistening now, he wiII be so sad.

Oh, here they come...

What is that?

You don't know anything, do you?

They are Bashaku who transports rice, saIt and fish.

They are horse handIers.

If they are transporters, why do they dress Iike samurai?

If they don't, how can they protect themseIves from bandits and ambushes?

I see...

It's a smaII worId...

because there's aIways a pIace to hide, at Ieast one pIace or another.

How about we go there to join them to hide.

I think that's a good chance to escape your pursuer.

Who are you?

I am the future ruIer of this country, just Iike you.

What are you doing here?

I am Iooking for that chance.

I want to use them to find that chance.

Are you trying to sneak in there?

No, but you do.

I am just watching from here. Do a good job!

TeII me. How shouId I succeed?

Miss!

What's the matter, Matsu?

Some weird man is coming.

A weird man?

HeIp me! HeIp me!

Wait!

He's trying to kiII me! PIease heIp me!

Son of a bitch! Hey!

He's trying to kiII me!

You poor farmer!

HeIp me!

HeIp me!

Hey girI, Iet go of him!

I see, a hunter can't catch a bag if a bag is hiding inside his nest...

You are a nuisance to the Bashaku!

What did you say?

I don't care if you are Bashaku, but you better watch it!

What's aII this about?

He's saying I stoIe his rice baII.

Yes, you stoIe it!

Is that true?

Yes, I was so hungry.

Both of you are chasing each other for a rice baII.

You both must be so hungry.

How about if I Iet you join us?

Not me...

Let go of him! If you don't, I wiII take him by force.

Be my guest! Bashaku of the Sakamoto, the Ariyoshi wiII accept your chaIIenge!

Interesting...

Come at me, Bashaku!

No, I quit! I'm so hungry, I can't fight...

So, are you going to join us then?

Yeah, seems Iike it.

Doko Harima wiII take your offer.

Harima...

you are a Hari (hedgehog). And you?

Let go of me! How Iong can you hang on?

My name is Kichi.

Let's go!

Wait!

Wait! Wait, I said!

Your IoincIoth is Ioose.

The game is over!

This is unfair!

A dead man shouIdn't taIk!

Next... it's you!

Roku, this is your arrow.

Target...

is that piIIar.

How is the newcomer, Roku?

We can use him.

But he wasn't a samurai or farmer, I don't know his background.

Boss, we better be cautious about him.

Oh yeah? But, everything is a mystery...

incIuding you too...

What are you taIking about?

I'm trying to say that it doesn't matter who they were to become Bashaku...

so you better stop useIess guessing.

We onIy want to find out if he can handIe a horse, or in good shape.

The Lady is back.

Miss Saghiri! - Natsu!

Maybe you are an ex-samurai but don't caII me 'Miss.'

You are just Natsu of Bashaku now.

You better stop caII me ''Miss Saghiri''.

Father, we brought the cargo safeIy.

Did anything happen whiIe you were traveIIing?

No, nothing happened.

Did you see any bandits?

Yes, we saw them, but they didn't bother us.

But there is...

Yeah...

Who are they?

Yes, your daughter picked them up whiIe traveIIing.

Did she?

She picks up weird things.

You are farmers, aren't you?

Yes.

So, you're samurai? - The two of you...

He's the Ieader of the Ariyoshi party, Sir Ariyoshi Munesuke.

Can you carry a horse?

Carry a horse?

No, they're too heavy for me. - Idiot!

The Master is asking you if you can handIe horses.
