The Steam Ninja Scrolls: The Resurrection Hot Springs!
Miss Mirai!
Have you heard of the hot spring
where you can see people who've died?
People who've died?
Seeing the dead?
There's no way something like that is real!
It exists!
I've come all this way so I could see my late mother.
Oh, come on! No way!
I thought so too at first…
But then I thought it's probably worth checking out.
I really want to see my mother.
Don't you want to see your father too, Miss Mirai?
But I'm…
…afraid I won't be able to go.
I see.
I'm sorry… See you later.
That's right…I have a mission.
WOMEN / MEN
It exists!
I've come all this way so I could see my late mother.
There's no way it exists.
I thought so too at first…
But then I thought it's probably worth checking out.
I really want to see…
…my mother.
Don't you want to see your father too, Miss Mirai?
Tatsumi!
Miss Mirai?
On second thought, I'll go too.
Huh?
It's dangerous for you to go alone… I'd be worried.
Thank you.
Honestly, I was feeling a bit uneasy about going alone.
All right then, let's leave right now.
I heard you can only meet the deceased at night.
Got it.
Yeah…I'll think of this as an investigation.
Besides, as long as I'm back by morning…
I drew this based on all of the rumors.
But who knows if it's correct!
This place feels totally different at night.
Yeah, it feels more desolate since it was so lively during the day.
It gives off a different vibe. It's creepy.
It's just a banner.
That freaked me out. I'm such a scaredy-cat.
Yeah, but your reaction just now still doesn't top Guy's.
Huh?
Remember the night of the ghost fiasco?
YOUTH
It appeared!
He totally freaked out!
Really?
But what was even scarier than that…
In the room where they say an armored warrior appeared…
…was seeing Kakashi fast asleep was scarier than seeing a ghost.
That's for sure!
Are you thirsty, Miss Mirai?
A little.
There should be a spring around here.
Let's get some spring water there.
There it is!
Wow, it's so warm!
Here you go, Miss Mirai.
Thanks!
I hear people stay healthy in the Land of Steam
by sipping on hot spring water like this, as they walk!
Oh, is that so?
It tastes like iron.
What? I couldn't tell!
Despite my appearance, I'm still a shinobi, you know.
If you get to see your mom, what do want to talk to her about?
I want to…
…apologize.
Huh?
Actually, the day before my mom died…
we had a fight over something trivial.
I refused to give in
and didn't speak to her for the rest of the day.
The next day, I went to the hospital to apologize,
but she'd taken a turn for the worse and…
soon after…
That's why…
I want to say sorry to her.
I had no idea.
What about you, Miss Mirai?
Your dad was a shinobi too, right?
Yeah.
He was Mr. Choji's sensei, right?
He must've been an amazing shinobi.
Everyone says that…
but I have no idea since I've never met him.
If you do see him tonight, what do you want to say to him?
There's so much stuff I want to say to him and ask him.
Like what is the "King" that shinobi must protect?
Huh?
It's a quiz my sensei gave me,
but I heard my father was the one who gave it out first.
But I have no clue what the answer is.
Oh yeah, I remember you were asking Choji about it.
Yeah, but more than that,
I want to ask him why he died before I was born!
Oh, I guess that's not really a question.
Was there stuff you wanted to do with your dad?
Well…
Dad!
Miss Mirai?
Oh, sorry!
Is something the matter?
Oh, it's nothing.
There's so much I want to ask you, Dad!
We won't be able to cross.
I don't see any bridges around either.
I think we're headed the right way. Let's cross here!
What?!
Don't worry. Just follow me!
Oh, wait, Miss Mirai!
Okay, it's your turn, Tatsumi!
Oh.
Miss Mirai!
I can't!
I'm sorry!
Just hold on to me.
We'll cross it together!
Here we go, Tatsumi!
Huh?
Wow!
We did it!
Thank you so much, Miss Mirai.
Sorry I left you behind! All right, let's keep going.
Wow, you're awesome, Miss Mirai!
And you're beautiful! I bet you're really popular!
Huh? No way!
Well, I really like you, Miss Mirai!
If you weren't here, I would've never made it.
There's nothing to fear as long as we're together!
Right!
Oh?
There's a fork in the road.
But there's only one road on the map.
Hmm…
Which one do we take?
Yeah.
Excuse me…
Oh, I didn't mean to scare you.
Wow, you scared me!
By any chance, are you two headed to the hot spring
where you can see the dead?
Are you going there too?
I was just there.
We couldn't figure out which road to take.
It's at the end of this road.
If you'd like, I can take you to the entrance.
Oh, thank you.
So, were you able to see the dead?
Yes, of course.
Really?
I saw my older brother.
I'm so happy I was able to tell him
about me, my family and other things!
He was so worried about us when he died
so I'm sure he's feeling relieved now.
I see.
Relieved, huh?
I wonder if Dad sees me, if he'll feel relieved too?
The hot spring is on the other side of the basin of that waterfall.
These girls are here for the Resurrection Hot springs.
It's in the back there. Please come in.
Okay, I'll be going now.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I hope you two can meet your loved ones too!
It's so dark.
I smell sulfur.
We're almost there, Miss Mirai!
Yeah.
Look over there!
Soon…
I'll see Dad.
Dad!
There are so many people.
Yeah.
Oh? Are you two here for the hot spring too?
Yes.
Both of you?
Yes.
So that means there are twenty of us now?
Yes, we finally have enough.
What? What do you mean?
We were told they need twenty people for the ceremony.
I've been waiting almost a month here.
That long?
But the people over there have been taking good care of us.
I see.
But thanks to you two showing up,
I can finally see my friends!
So, who are you here to see?
I came to see my mother.
And my dad, for me.
I see. I'm here to see my whole family!
I can't believe I'll see them soon.
Right?
Yeah, I can't wait.
We're pretty lucky we're able to see them as soon as we got here.
I know.
Thank you for waiting. I'll now take you to the next room.
Your wishes are finally about to come true!
– Yay! – Yay!
Please watch your step.
Finally!
I can't wait.
It was worth coming all this way, wasn't it, Miss Mirai?
Yeah…
Ancient ruins?
Yes, I heard this place was chosen because it was secluded.
Who would've imagined there would be
such a beautiful place at the back of the cave?
I totally agree.
All right, everyone. Please come inside!
This is Lord Ryuki.
Welcome.
You have come all this way
in an endless quest to fulfill your wish.
I will now grant you your wish.
Excuse me!
Yes?
How do you plan on letting us see the deceased?
What?
Hey, why would you ask that?!
If there's a non-believer among us, we all won't get to go in!
Miss Mirai!
No…
I understand where you're coming from.
It's fine, let me answer your question.
There was once a shinobi who used jutsu
to reincarnate the dead from the great wars,
so he could rule the shinobi world.
I've heard about this…
He used the dead as soldiers.
If I'm not mistaken it's called the Reanimation Jutsu…
It's a Forbidden Jutsu.
It was a Forbidden Jutsu that not only desecrated the dead,
but also required a living sacrifice.
I researched this jutsu and was able to master a Reanimation Jutsu
that wouldn't dishonor the dead and doesn't need a living sacrifice.
For those who didn't get a chance
to express their feelings to someone before they died…
And for those who died without being able to
express their feelings to someone….
It was all for them.
After undergoing strict training, I was able to acquire this jutsu.
Yes, to grant everyone's wishes,
Master Ryuki works himself to exhaustion to perform this jutsu.
You there.
Y-Yes!
Tell me your name and the person you wish to see.
My name is Misato.
The person I want to see is my friend, Kikuna.
Miss Misato. Please come over here.
Okay!
Dressed in those robes, go on and face the afterlife.
What?
Kikuna, is that you, Kikuna?
I finally get to see you!
I'm so glad! I'm so glad!
Was she able to see her?
So that means we'll be able to as well?
Yeah, we'll get to see them!
Good thing we came, right, Miss Mirai?
Yeah, you're right.
All right, everyone.
So who's next?
Yes.
Okay then, please tell me your name and who you wish to see.
Yes, my name is Tatsumi.
I want to see my mother, Asami!
Come this way.
Tatsumi?
What?
That voice? Is that you, Mom?
I can hear you! I knew it. It is you, isn't it, Mom!
It's me Tatsumi!
Tatsumi.
Mom.
I'm so happy!
And what about you?
I'm Mirai Sarutobi.
Please let me see my father, Asuma Sarutobi.
Sarutobi…
All right then, come this way.
Dad!
Did you hear it? The voice of your loved one?
Was that my dad just now?
I've met Asuma before in the other world.
He's wanted to meet you for a while.
In the other world? Is that true?
You made it here, because Lord Jashin has guided you.
