No!
Whoa. These are real Ninja!
Mm. Mm?
Hey, Chizu?
We're all over here.
On this side. The good guy side.
The not-Ninja side?
Usagi.
She's a Ninja.
What?
I'm sorry.
I tried to get you all out of here before they came.
I knew you were overqualified to sweep this place.
And underqualified to be a friend!
Chizu, you were told to leave the temple undefended.
Dispose of these obstacles.
What?
I… I won't do it.
I won't hurt them.
Not for you or anyone.
I raised you since before you could walk and this is how you thank me?
We're family!
-You kidnapped me from an orphanage. -So?
No one else wanted you, Chizu.
What happens to your friends now is on your head.
Ikuzo!
Hyah!
Stand back! I'm clear cutting.
Here we go!
-Hyah!
Nailed it!
Mm? Yeep!
-Tokage feet in my eye! -Huh.
-Uh. -That one's yours.
Hiya! Huh?
Oh!
Ah!
Oh.
Hey, give me some room.
Can't. Because we're losing.
This whole attack is pointless.
You, Neko Ninja, can't use the Ki-Stone anyway.
You don't know its secrets.
Don't I, Tetsujin?
Lady Fuwa.
I see you're still mad that I broke up with you.
What? I broke up with you.
And I only ever went out with you in the first place to find out about this.
You have the Scroll of Secrets?
But how?
How? How, I ask you?
Obviously, she took it.
To free the stone from its mooring,
lift from the four compass points at once.
Was the part about "never touch the Ki-Stone"
not in the scroll?
-Quick!
You have promise.
Thanks. I've been training.
Sorry. I meant you have my promise that you're going to die.
Hyah! Hyah!
No! My beautiful fur.
Another day.
Chizu, your payback will be painful
and it will require a large cleanup team.
A Ninja spy?
Explain yourself or I squash you!
I'm sorry. I--
I did as I was told.
The Neko Ninja Crew is all I've ever known.
I was brought up on fear and threats.
Until I infiltrated this temple, I never knew kindness,
or friendship candy.
It's a good thing you still have it, 'cause you're not getting any more.
I wanted to tell you about the attack,
but I was afraid of what Lady Fuwa might do. I…
I'm sorry.
A plant may sprout from a crack in the street,
but it can only thrive in healthy soil.
Normally I hate farming metaphors, but that's a good one.
This isn't over.
Lady Fuwa still has the scroll.
The Scroll of Secrets?
That was my little prank back when Fu-Fu and I were dating.
Oh, grow up.
I was worried that she might be after the Ki-Stone,
so I made a fake, old-timey scroll and casually mentioned it to her.
So years later, she sent Chizu here to take the bait.
Yep.
With a Neko Ninja, you've got to think a few years ahead.
Anyway, they can never steal the Ki-Stone.
It's 100% immovable, locked to the Earth's magnetic field.
It will be all right, Chizu.
They'll forgive you eventually, and Kitsune…
-Uh oh.
She shouldn't be out alone.
Lady Fuwa wants revenge.
We all need to be ready. We need to start sleeping in shifts and maintain--
You don't get to boss anyone around. Why would we listen to you?
-But the Ninja will find-- -I don't want to hear it.
You just betrayed everyone who cares about you.
We don't need you.
But we have to stick together!
-Actually, I gotta go too. -Yeep!
If I defeat those Yokai and get trained up by Karasu-Tengu, I can protect all of us.
Duty calls.
You're still going to let me… work here?
Yeah. But no New Year's bonus.
You never gave me one anyway.
You do not need to say anything to me.
But Kitsune, you broke her heart.
Maybe go find her,
bring her a present or something.
Ugh, I'm not picking up anything on the yo-yo.
There's never a Yokai around when you're hunting them.
Can you believe Chizu?
I mean, I can handle betrayal, but Kitsune?
She looked really hurt.
You should help me find Yokai. It'll give you something to do.
Okay, but I gotta do this stupid advertising gig first.
Why you gotta work so much?
To pay back the Bat Squadron.
Which is partly because of you.
Oh, right. My bad.
Ah, It's a short shift. I'll help you after.
Okay, I'm looking for Giman, the Deception Yokai.
It changes shape.
And Sakuran, the Distraction Yokai. It possesses objects.
So either one could look like anything.
Probably something deceptive or distracting.
Everything distracts you, farm boy.
Oh, come on, that's not--
Ooh my gosh, it's a trolley!
I wasn't distracted, I was just momentarily focused on--
Ooh, a bird!
Kitsune!
Kitsune? Where are you going?
Wait, wait, wait. You have to forgive me.
Not happening. Our whole friendship is one big lie.
It's not a lie and--
Come on, I didn't destroy you all like I was ordered to.
That's your defense?
"I didn't destroy you!"
That's all you've got?
Please.
Please, tell me what I can do to make this better.
There is one thing.
Never talk to me again.
I… um…
brought you a present.
Are these the knives that the Ninja threw at us?
Those are good blades. Top quality.
So your idea of a "gift" is a bunch of stuff that almost did me in?
When you say it like that, it sounds, um, less thoughtful.
But look at the edge on this kunai.
I can't look at your knife when it's stuck in my back.
Uh…
Hey, Mayumi!
Hey, you, rhino guy, whom I obviously know,
based on your expression.
-Shoes. -I want those shoes.
This is your… advertising gig?
Mayumi sends people to Hashimoto Alley, I send them to Kobayashi Alley.
We kind of keep score.
Give me an hour and we can go look for Yokai.
Hashimoto Alley! Right this way.
-Shoes. -I want those shoes.
Best bargains at Kobayashi Alley!
Yeep-yeep!
-What amazing shoes! -Great!
-Oh my gosh. -I have to have those shoes.
Not bad, Mayumi.
Oh my gosh. What amazing shoes.
-Shoes. -Must have those shoes.
Shoes. I want those shoes. Shoes go on feet!
She is shoe… I mean, good.
Spot, look. There's a Yokai nearby!
Yeep. Yeep-yeep.
I don't see anything here that looks obviously, you know, Yokai-ish.
I mean, I…
-I…
I really want those shoes.
That's what I'm after!
No, pastries.
I need pastries.
It's all I can think about!
Really, guy?
How does that sign keep changing?
And why is it so… distracting…
D-d-d-distracting!
The sign is Sakuran,
-the Distraction Yokai! -Yeep!
Kitsune!
Whoa.
-Hyah!
-Yah!
Gen, it's a Sign-Yokai.
-Not now, I'm-- -No, for real!
Sakuran is a Sign-Yokai. And it's possessing Mayumi.
Just like that Hat-Yokai possessed Lord Kogane.
Hey, I'm working here.
-Why don't you use your sword?
I don't want to hurt Mayumi.
Ikuzo!
Whoa!
Yokai, I know you're in there! Yah!
Hi. I'm Sakuran, your Distraction Yokai.
I know you are.
Karasu-Tengu sent me to defeat you.
Ugh, the crow lady? Hate her!
Hey, instead of defeating me,
wouldn't you rather buy this lovely bracelet?
So… pretty.
No! I have to eat… No, I have to defeat… something.
Maybe you should defeat…
…bad breath!
Ugh, yeah. Maybe you're right.
-I'm gonna shred you, sign!
Good boys deserve chewy treats. Get your treat today!
I mean, honestly? Those treats did look pretty good.
-A true samurai
needs true samurai weapons!
Man, that's a nice sword.
Gotcha!
Weapons! I gotta have them!
Huh? I've got to stop looking at those ads.
You cannot help yourself. The distraction is irresistible!
Behold. The mightiest of dartboards!
My ancestor doesn't belong on a dartboard.
Unless it's a respectful tribute dartboard,
which isn't a thing.
I will defeat you!
Wouldn't you like a yogurt?!
Karasu-Tengu will become my sensei!
The fanciest of all hats!
And I will become a samurai like Miyamoto Usagi.
And I will clear his name!
What? Ooh!
Ikuzo!
-Hyah!
Let me go!
Hey! Look at that airship!
Do you guys hear sirens? What kind of bird is that?
-Stop trying to distract us. -Are you running a fever?
Am I? Do I look flushed?
Ah! What color is my tongue?
-Gen! Come on, man.
Wow, he was easy.
Yeah, no. You say "sniffles" to him and, boom, he's at the hospital.
Friends again?
Don't even.
Three visits in one week. So happy.
What are today's symptoms, Gen?
I have a fever, I'm flushed, and my tongue is the wrong color.
-I think I have another invisible rash. -Oh, Gen.
You're such a good patient.
So good.
Uh-oh! What's this?
It's a buzz saw horn.
Aha!
Attachment disorder.
We have a diagnosis.
This time, you need surgery for sure.
Ooh! Dibs on the appendix.
Yay!
Wait, do rhinos even have appendixes?
Only one way to find out!
Ah, ah!
There it is.
Rhinos do have appendixes.
I knew it!
Yay, appendixes!
Wait, which side is my appendix on?
I don't know, let's check the appendices.
Yay, appendices.
-Oh! Look out!
Ah! I wasn't sleeping!
How about some mochi ice cream?
Coming through, coming through.
Oh. Hey, Spot.
-Who wants to do a sing-along?
Urban Yokai number two of three!
Yeep!
That hurts a little more every time.
Did you see your ancestor again?
He snuck into a palace, but he didn't hurt anyone.
Well, maybe a couple of guards, but he must have had a reason.
And, he didn't murder the Shogun, I'm sure of it.
The past never makes sense until you have the whole story.
Like, okay, here's the whole deal on me and Lady Fuwa.
Every detail.
I like 'em fit and fuzzy. Always have.
So, we are both…
-Leaving now! -Huh?
Go, man, go!
Keep it up.
You guys are doing great!
More to the left.
I'm gonna have lunch brought in so we can keep working, okay?
Go, man.
Chikabuma, you creatures generate a force
much greater than I would have guessed.
It's a scientific mystery, baby.
And FY-Information,
calling us "creatures" is kind of off-putting.
That is a lot of gold, man.
We gotta dig that out.
No!
Continue moving forward!
We are close to reaching the item I need.
The key to everything!
The Clavis!
But it is gold!
Yeah.
When I activate the item,
such things as gold will no longer have value.
All you know will change.
Yeah, and I'll be on top.
Chikabuma!
