TOEI COMPANY, LTD.

About 380 years ago...

In Iga, the ninja's country...

There was the Momochi Clan, led by Momochi Sandayu.

And the Fujibayashi Clan led by Fujibayashi Natoto.

Many ninja of these two groups were fighting against each other.

It's the Chief's body!

Momochi Sandayu is dead!

Our terrible Code of Death is gone!

Great, isn't it?

That voice!

Chief!

Fools!

Do you think you can suceed rebelling against me!

Have you forgotten the ninja's code?

Let's run away!

Kill all of them!

Squad Chief!

No!

I refuse to die under the bonds of the Code of Death!

Stay away!

I'll take my own life!

Someday, we will...

Stop! Don't!

Old man!

Who are you, kid?

I'm Watari!

WATARl, THE NlNJA BOY Dai Ninjutsu Eiga Watari

Faint Shadow! Haze!

Gale! Clouds!

Ax! Death Ring!

And Throwing knives!

Where was he born?

Where did he come from?

Nobody knows, this little ninja boy!

Watari...

Why do you run away?

What's the matter?

Come back to the squad.

His tongue has been cut off.

Kanne broke the code.

He did?

The Chief ordered us to kill him.

If we don't, we'll be punished.

But...

This Cloud Squad will get into trouble because of him. So we have to kill him.

I'll kill Kanne.

Kanne, say your prayers.

Your weapon won't be able to beat my Death Ring.

See? My Death Ring is the strongest!

Kanpachi!

Did you kill him?

He was working with us 'til yesterday.

Killing my friend!

Even if it's my duty...

...I didn't want to do it.

Squad Chief!

What code did he break?

I don't know.

But anyone who breaks the code...

...will end up like him.

That's right.

Sir Joko!

How cruel the Chief is!

Did he cut off Kanne's tongue to keep him quiet?

Sub-Chief, do you know what code Kanne broke?

I don't know, either.

That's how the ninja's code is.

Just obey orders.

And sacrifice your lives for your duty.

You had better not try to know more than that.

Did Kanne know some secret of the code, then?

Perhaps.

Kanpachi.

Did he leave a note or anything?

No, sir.

That's strange.

He must have hidden it.

If you find out the secret, the Chief will try to kill you, too.

I'm your friend.

If I find it, I'll see you won't get into trouble.

Yes, he can talk with the Chief.

He even can get an advantage over him.

Shibutare.

Watch your words.

Someone may be listening.

The Chief is an awful person.

He always keeps an eye on us.

Are we being watched, then?

Look at your feet.

Poison!

We were overheard.

Sound of a flute!

Kanpachi.

What? That kid!

He joined us to get the Chief to help that sick old man.

He may have been watching us.

Transfiguration Art

To be ablet to escape from my Death Ring! Incredible!

Watari!

Were you sent by the Chief to spy on us?

No. I was just playing the flute.

Shut up! I must kill you since you were spying on us.

I wasn't.

You rascal...

I'm sorry, old man.

Is it you, Sir?

Please don't!

Chief.

Watari.

Where have you been?

Looking for medicinal herbs.

Four-leaf sorrels are very good medicine.

Really?

They're near the two-faced statue.

Go at once.

It's the two-faced statue.

Where are the four-leaf sorrels?

Four-leaf sorrels...

Here they are.

I'm in danger.

It's only a cat.

Gotta be careful. That's not an ordinary cat.

Oh, I'm cut.

Did you see that, Joko?

Why did you use that trick?

To test his skill.

Mr. Momochi. The trick he used is quite new to me.

Someone may have sent him here.

Shall we kill him?

There's something we must take care of first.

What is it?

It's this.

Cloud Squad?

If Kanne knew the secret of the code...

...he must have left a note.

But he didn't have it.

Possible.

It means a member of the Cloud Squad has it.

Kanne may not have left a note.

There's no proof.

So it's safer to kill all the members of the squad.

It's one of the lga code.

The man who tried to run away had it.

This is a ninja's note!

Is it a letter?

If it's true...

It's awful.

All the members of the Cloud Squad are here.

Under the Chief's orders...

...you are going to sneak into Samidare Castle.

Takeda's ninja are there.

Takeda plans...

...to conquer all of Japan.

That castle is his important fort.

It is closely guarded...

...as many samurai are trying to take it.

They say the Fujibayashi's best ninja were killed there the other day.

The Fujibayashi men failed.

You must succeed all the more. Lord Momochi will be pleased then.

Fulfill your mission for the Momochi's honor.

Certainly, sir.

When you return safe...

...you will be promoted.

Sir Joko.

We'll take the castle.

Go!

Shibutare. Let's fulfill our mission.

We won't be killed like worms anymore.

What's that?

Cloud Squad Chief!

The Cloud Squad Chief...

Look!

What is it?

Shibutare, too.

All the members of the Cloud Squad were killed.

Because of the Code of Death.

I wonder why.

Only one slash.

A good swordsman did it.

If this was because of the note...

That's possible.

Joko was with the members of the squad.

He did it.

Wait...

It's not me.

Those ninja were my friends.

They were killed...

...because of Takeda's desire.

Takeda's desire?

I hoped they'd return safe.

I'll let the Chief know.

There are too many ninja in lga Province.

They're being mass-produced.

Mass-produced?

They kidnap children...

...to make them into ninja.

Piron.

This?

Train them severely, Donko.

Practice harder, kids.

It might have hit me.

How clumsy!

You can't throw knives like that.

Hold this.

Clumsy!

I'm sorry.

So sorry...

Forgive me, please.

That's why you're a failure.

I'll show you how it's done.

What's the big idea?

Who are you?

Me? I'm Watari.

Oh, the one that the lower ninja chief found.

I'm Kazura, the head of this school.

I'm Donko.

Piron.

Keisuke.

Santo.

Sasakiji.

Jiro, - That's enough.

So actually this is the place where children are abused.

They're only being severely trained.

By a failure like you?

Don't say that!

Did you come to disturb me?

Not exactly.

But let me give you a suggestion : Don't force them to be ninja.

You're giving me a suggestion?

Shut up.

Are you even a skilled ninja in the first place?

What? Shall we fight?

If you want.

Donko, watch this.

Watch my skill closely.

It'll be a big fight. A really big fight.

He was nothing.

Isn't that exciting?

Piron.

Drink it.

Look, boss!

Transfiguration Art!

Beat him!

You aren't bad.

You'll see.

Landslide!

At the school!

It's shaking.

No time to eat.

It's shaking!

Landslide!

Run!

Landslide.

Heisuke!

Santo!

Jiro, Sadakichi!

Heisuke!

Santo!

Kazura!

Jiro...

Boss!

Sadakichi!

Sadakichi!

That was dangerous.

Couldn't you help them?

I don't know...

Stupid! Fool!

It wasn't Donko's fault.

I went through a lot of trouble to train them.

I...

I shouted at them, but...

In my heart...

I really loved them.

Cheer up. Let's finish fighting.

So he made friends with Kazura.

We're friends now.

But...

The kids...

I'll show you my Faint Shadow Art.

I'll show you my Tanjin Art.

Tanjin Art?

Watch.

Kazura!

Me and my enemy will die together.

I hope you won't use that trick.

I'm still young.

Too young.

It's my turn next.

Throw the ax at me.

All right.

I'm gonna die...

Bottomless marsh!

Hold onto my ax, Watari.

Who is it?

Don't move, or you'll die.

Watari!

Moon Squad, for Oda's territory.

Dew Squad, for Echizen.

Earth Squad, for Kanto. Don't fail in your missions.

Did you call me?

Look at this.

What about it?

It's interesting.

Please tell me.

It says a ninja ran away from lga once.

A runaway ninja?

His name was Shikanme. He was the best ninja in lga.

Chief.

Why are you interested in him?

Watari's companion fits his description.

Then that old man...

He may be...

...Shikanme.

Practice hard, kids.

Kazura. We're friends now.

Right, Kazura?

I watched him die.

I didn't sacrifice my life...

...for my friend.

Drink some, big brother.

Thank you.

But...

Boss...

If you think of Watari so much, you'll get sick.

Forget him.

How can l?

I watched...

...him die.

Boss!

Watari!

He's alive.

People who have kind hearts...

...will always be saved just in time

As if an invisible hand is helping them

Although the Ninja's code is tough

Sometimes, you still can relax a little

Let's laugh and dance together

Don 't be afraid of that are different from you

Justice will finally win

I'll do anything to help you.

Honest?

Of course.

Shut down the school, then.

The school...?

Watari.

Wait.

Many ninja are killed because new ones are mass-produced.

Is that my fault?

If the school is shut down, no more ninja will be killed anymore.

Don't you think so, Kazura?

But...

Kazura!

Who is it?

Sister.

Yours?

I'm Tsuyuki.

He's my friend.

Kazura!

What's so funny?

Watari isn't dead.

I must get rid of him quickly.

Kojiro.

My men were killed by Mori's squad.

Who's that boy, Kazura?

I'm Watari.

He joined us while you were away.

Really?

But he's such a small boy.

I'll be going.

Come again.

I'll go with you part of the way.

You two won't need me.

What are you talking about?

You blushed.

I like Kojiro.

He's Chief of the Flow Squad.

He has wonderful skills.

Is your sister going to marry him?

I hope so.

Do you really want to quit being a ninja?

Under the Chief's orders...

I may be forced to take a journey again.

Kojiro!

Tsuyuki.

I won't be able to marry you unless I quit.

Will the Chief let you quit?

If he won't, I'll even run away.

But we have that awful code.

That's right.

My friends are killed one after another.

The other squads are upset.

The other squads, too?

When things are at the worst, we'll break the code.

Chief!

I overheard.

You can get married.

Can we?

But before you do...

You two must fulfill your last mission successfully.

What mission?

Go to Samidare Castle and kill it's master.

If we can do it?

You can be man and wife.

We'll go.

To Samidare Castle!

"I'm going to Samidare Castle. Tsuyuki".

What do you want, Momochi Sandayu?

Fujibayashi Nagato.

I sent a traitor...

...to Samidare Castle.

He's tough. Be sure to kill him.

My bloodthirsty men...

...will be licking their lips.

Many more men...

...will be killed after this.

Are you going to do it, at last?

I must keep the secret of the code.

Anyone...

...who tries to know it will be killed.

Like this?

Confound it!

I wonder who Momochi was talking with.

I'll go anyway.

What is that skill?

The "Cast-off Skin" Art?

Amazing skill!

I wonder...

...who he was.

You're Dojun, with the Fujibayashi.

Chief of the Rain Squad? Out of my way.

You must have come to feel out the situation of this fort.

Idiot!

It would be futile even if all of you attack me.

Shut up! Let's kill him!

Watch the power of my weapon.

That ninja...

That's the fortress of Fujibayashi, Momochi's rival in lga.

All right.

How was it, Dojun?

You were right. There was a ninja near the statue.

Was he watching us?

You killed him, didn't you?

I couldn't. He was very tough.

You're the Fujibayashi's Sub-Chief. And you let him go?

Next time...

I'll kill him.

Like this.

You!

Back off, or you'll get hurt.

You're brave for a Momochi.

Not so brave.

I'm sorry I must take your life.

He's gone!

Be calm!

It's only "Faint Shadow".

Throw your knives.

Body Separation!

Don't let any of them get away!

Kill all of them!

Look for him!

See? Just an impertinent trick!

What an awful kid he is!

I'll get him.

Kazura, I'm going to Samidare Castle. Tsuyuki.

Let's go.

Kojiro.

What is that?

Takeda's ninja!

We were waiting for you, Kojiro.

You know my name?

This place is a hell for ninja.

Those who broke the code of lga are sent here.

Code of lga?

Then you...

We're the Six lga Ninja. I'm Toriko.

Tsubuki.

I'm Kagetsu.

I'm Yosame.

Shijima.

Shiwa Hanzaki.

You belong to the Fujibayashi.

Why pretend to be with the Takeda?

They were never here to begin with.

They cleared...

...out of this castle a long time ago.

It's an empty castle now.

So that's it...

We'll kill the girl, too.

Our purpose is to erase all of you who oppose the code!

You wanted to quit being a ninja.

It's against the code. So you were sent here.

Go to hell, traitorous ninja.

Are you all right?

You can't escape!

Run away, Tsuyuki.

I won't.

Kojiro!

Tell them the truth of this castle.

Yes.

Tsuyuki, go!

Kojiro will melt away in Hanzaki's arms.

Kojiro!

I'll die with you.

They seem to have been killed.

Dojun...

...and Joko are the same man. No one knows it.

Kazura!

Kazura must have gone to the castle, too.

Faint Shadow! Haze!

Gale! Clouds!

Ax! Death Ring!

And Throwing knives!

Where was he born?

Where did he come from?

Nobody knows, this little ninja boy!

There's no one here.

Come out, Watari!

Wait!

Who are you?

Shijima.

Where's Kazura?

I don't know.

Where are Kojiro and Tsuyuki?

I don't know.

Can you get smaller, too?

I can.

See?

You really don't know where Kazura is?

Shut up!

Tsuyuki!

Kazura!

Watari!

Kid.

I was waiting for you.

Who are you?

I'm Yosame, one of the Six lga Ninja.

I'll attack you with "Darkness!"

In this darkness...

You can't use your "Faint Shadow."

How shall I defend myself?

The Black Sword!

Die, kid!

No...

Where could Kazura be?

Watari!

Kazura!

Hurry...

You're bleeding.

The Six lga Ninja did this?

Yes. Fujibayashi's men.

They killed Tsuyuki and Kojiro.

I'll avenge them.

No, you can't!

You must stay still.

I'll bring the old man.

I caused you enough trouble.

I'll do it alone.

Definitely!

You're the Six lga Ninja, right?

Watari! Let me take your life!

I've got no time to show you my skill.

Bye!

What? The forest is gone.

Witness my Ninja Skill "Kakatsutsumi!"

Moths!

Hard to breathe...

No oil.

Damn...

I can't move...

It's about time I killed him.

Toriko.

It's you!

I won't let Watari die.

Poor boy!

To fight against the infamous Six lga Ninja...

...must have been hard.

Are you still there?

two of you?

How dare you kill our friend!

We'll kill you for the Six lga Ninja's honor.

It was to save Watari.

I'm not a killer like you.

Oil!

Kugutsume!

They're dead!

Kazura was hurt.

What did you say!?

Prowler!

Kill him.

I'll get revenge for my sister.

Finish him.

Get away, Watari!

Don't be stupid!

I'm your friend!

I'm happy to see you.

Watch my "Tanjin."

Don't do it.

I'll avenge sister myself.

No, stop!

Good bye, Watari!

Watari, watch this!

What's that noise?

Fujibayashi exploded with his fortress.

Fujibayashi Naoto, dead?

Our plan to make the ninja fight each other is foiled.

We must think out a new plan.

I'll return home.

Who's here?

Joko.

Chief. Why do you look puzzled.

What's so funny, Dojun?

It's very funny.

You're Joko? Fool!

I'm Joko, Sub-Chief of the Momochi.

Fool! Don't you know that Joko...

...and Dojun are the same man?

What?

Look.

Your disguise didn't work.

You betrayed yourself, Joko.

I wanted to see your trick myself.

What? Who are you?

Chief! Fujibayashi Castle exploded...

two Sub-Chiefs!

That man is a fake.

He tried to take my life.

He must be a spy.

Kill him.

Wait.

Look at him closely, my friends.

It's Kojiro himself!

I thought you were dead.

Watari's friend helped me out of the moat of the castle.

Sandayu.

Joko.

Now I know your terrible deeds.

We'll fight for Kojiro!

Many of our friends...

...and Kazura and Tsuyuki died...

...because of Joko!

All of you...

Kill Kojiro and Watari!

Don't listen to him.

Kill them quickly!

Have you forgotten the code?

Wait!

Everyone...

To make you men work like slaves...

They divided lga into two territories.

And they made you fight against each other.

two secret passages...

...Iead to both castles.

That's the secret of the lga code.

Damn...

How could the Chief do that?

He's been fooling us.

He's a devil...

...in human form.

Wait, wait a second.

I've been just working under orders.

Whose orders? Answer me.

My orders.

You, the Sub-Chief, have been pulling the strings...

...behind Momochi and Fujibayashi?

In this position, I can know about my men better.

Why you!

Fools!

You lower ninja can never get me.

Watch my "Vacuum Slashing!"

Watch out! - Die!

Joko!

Take away the kids.

I won't let you escape.

Stop.

Landslide!

Watari!

Joko, I'll avenge the late Kazura.

Come at me, kid.

This is for Kazura!

Wind! Storm!

Courage! Wisdom!

Bird! Flame!

Transfiguration!

Under the sunset, in the wilderness...

He keeps traveling onward!
