BLACKFOX: Age of the Ninja (ブラックフォックス エイジ オブ ザ ニンジャ)

Men,

what happens if she gets away?

Get away from us? That's crazy.

So is your impudence.

Stay back!

Now,

you die.

Jin! You must not kill her.

Or Lady Haku will kill you.

I got this!

Yeehaa!

Kokuryu! What are you doing?!

Sorry...Uto.

You die.

For once, I agree.

Wait up! Don't leave me!

Been a good girl, Miya?

Yes Father!

But, I want to go outside...

This is for your safety, my dear.

Understand?

I do.

I'm sorry! Don't hate me!

Hate you?

How could I?

As long as you don't use your power without my permission.

Really?

Of course.

I'm so relieved...

Listen. You are special, Miya.

Your heavenly power

was bestowed only upon you. It's a blessing.

What's this?

A lucky charm to remind you,

of your promise.

Father...

I must find the Foxes...

Foxes?

I loves me some fox meat!

Think you can escape the Negoro-shu?

I'll never forgive what you've done.

Never!

Let's go.

A few days earlier

That murdered magistrate...

Must've screwed over the wrong people.

No doubt. I hear it was the Foxes' doing.

The Foxes?

A clan goes by that name. Rumor has it they're hired killers.

That's scary! It's just a rumor, right?

- Maybe. Scary! - It sure ain't funny!

The Foxes...

Chihiro Yamamoto

Maimi Yajima

Sakurako Okubo

Mami Fujioka

Yuki Kubota

Kentaro Shimazu Hideo Ishiguro

Koji Nakamura Masayuki Deai Kanon Miyahara

Takeshi Masu

Yasuaki Kurata

Huh?

I don't get it.

The lance goes here...

Excuse me...

What am I doing wrong?

Hey!

How could you?

It's not yours to finish.

I'm sorry, it was...

...easy.

I know I'm no good at it.

I didn't mean...

Stop bothering me. Get lost!

Wait! Listen...

Take me to...the Foxes.

The Foxes?

I heard a rumor.

About a clan on this mountain that takes on any mission.

Oh? Never heard of them.

Please!

I must meet the Foxes.

Why?

I need their help.

I see.

In that case...

Kasumi! Get rid of her.

No! Don't!

Please forgive me!

I'm truly sorry...

She'll be fine.

Thank goodness...

So, what's your name?

Miya.

I'm Rikka.

Hey...

Come on.

You'll take me?

I'm curious now.

Can't find her!

Huntin' foxes maybe.

Foxes?

Stop joking around!

Foxes, you say?

What did the girl say?

Er, that she's lookin' for foxes!

Intriguing.

Our pride is at stake. Failure is not an option.

Your petty pride means nothing to me,

but failure concerns me greatly.

Shigetsugu.

We have until the date we agreed.

You do.

But your employer is not a patient man.

Is that so? I'll keep it in mind.

About that hawk...

You mean Kasumi?

My father made it long ago.

He must be a great man.

Be careful what you touch.

I guess I should.

The Foxes aren't agents of good.

To get what you want, you must pay a price.

I know.

From here on,

there's no going back.

I've made up my mind.

Fine...

State your business.

Well...I...

State your business, I said.

Miya.

I request your help.

You know...

...of we Foxes?

I do.

The Negoro-shu killed my father, Roren...

I seek...vengeance.

You father...was murdered?

One month ago...

Check.

Hey, you could go easy on me a little.

You wouldn't like it.

I wouldn't, but...

You're mean.

Are you... Shigetsugu's henchmen?!

"Henchmen"? How insulting.

Father!

Miya! Run!

They've come for you!

Silence!

Do as your father tells you, Miya!

Silence, I said!

Miya!

Run!

No!

Run!

Miya!

My mother died when I was young,

and my father

nurtured my strange power, and raised me with care.

But then...

This is

our entire wealth.

I hear much about the Negoro-shu.

However...

That may not be enough.

I will pay any cost, even with my life.

You are prepared to sacrifice yourself?

As you wish.

Wait!

Miya, are you sure?

If your father truly cared for you,

he wouldn't want this...

Stay out of this, Rikka!

Grandfather...

You are my grandchild,

but you have no right to defy me!

Thank you, Rikka.

But...

...it's my decision.

Please, avenge my father.

Very well.

As leader of the Fox clan,

and 6th head of the Isurugi family,

I, Hyoe Isurugi, accept your request.

What is it?

A night raid. By the Negoro-shu!

Engage them!

Show them how foolish they were to step into this foxes' den!

Rikka.

Take the girl.

Miya, come with me.

Come get kicked to Hell!

Should I run?

But I must wash these...

Forgive me! Forgive me!

I ain't hurtin'!

That's it, I'm running.

Where is she?!
