The Island of Treachery
Oh! I can see it now!
It's a big island, isn't it?!
I'm going to level up on this island!
You're really something, Ehou!
Uh-huh!
Today, we'll be training outdoors by spending the night on this island.
Long ago, this used to be the village's training grounds,
but now, it's an uninhabited island.
There are many areas that haven't been maintained,
so please proceed with caution.
Hey, Sensei? Thank you.
Huh?
We know how you worked everything out with the Academy
to hold this outdoor training exercise.
To make up for the school festival!
Thank you very much, Hana Sensei.
Sensei...
Thank you!
Everyone!
Let's make lots of fun memories!
Yeah!
I'm so glad.
Everyone was looking forward to the school festival,
but it got cancelled because of me.
No one thinks that!
Thank you.
Now, I can have fun times with everyone again.
You're overreacting.
We'll have lots more fun things to do before we graduate!
You're right.
Oh! Kikuchiyo!
Are you all right, Kikuchiyo?!
Why is there a trap?!
What's going on?
That hurt, didn't it, Kikuchiyo?
It doesn't look like he'll be able to walk on his own.
Who placed this here?
Oh, no!
Do you know something?
Well, I heard a rumor...
that a Rogue Shinobi escaped to this island after killing someone!
What?
A killer Rogue Shinobi?!
It's just a rumor!
Apparently, a Rogue Shinobi, wanted for murder,
lurked in the abandoned training grounds.
A-Are you serious?
Is that Rogue Shinobi still on the island?
I don't know.
According to the rumor,
they apparently escaped deep into the forest.
Do you think... they placed this trap?
How long ago did this happen?
That trap isn't very old.
And even if there was a Rogue Shinobi,
it's not possible for them to hide on this island for very long.
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
There have been cases of shinobi who had hid on islands for years
with no idea that the war had ended.
What's going on?!
We don't know!
Did you search thoroughly?
It's nowhere!
What's the matter?
Our food is gone.
What?!
It's gone...
It's really gone!
Is it going to be delivered here soon?
No one's coming until the ship taking us home arrives tomorrow.
So, does that mean we're stuck on this island,
that might have a killer Rogue Shinobi on the loose,
until tomorrow without any food?
This can't be happening!
N-No way!
What are we going to do?
This certainly is a problem.
We have to get through this somehow.
Y-Yeah!
I'm so sorry.
This is my fault.
Sensei! We're Academy students!
We'll be totally fine spending a night on an uninhabited island.
Yes, indeed!
Please don't be so sad!
Thank you, Himawari!
Everyone going out to procure rations
must work in three-man teams.
Absolutely do not go off on your own.
But we're short one person.
In that case, why don't you add someone
who can locate things to your team?
Let's see...
How about someone who can use a drone, like Neon?
I agree!
Sounds good.
Then let's go get Neon and head out.
Yeah!
Are you going to look for food?
Yeah!
We'll stick together and work within each other's sight.
Don't let your guard down.
Something bothers me about that incident with the trap earlier.
I'll stay near Kae, just in case.
But if anything happens, yell for me.
Thank you.
You brats got lucky.
If I didn't have to remain in the Leaf to continue my mission,
I would have killed you all instantly.
We're going now, Miss Himawari.
Okay!
Well, see you later.
Whatever.
Taking out their searching abilities
will make my job easier to do.
Hana Sensei, we can't get the fire lit!
Hold on! I'm coming over now!
I found some edible wild plants.
You found some already?
There's a game trail here.
Wild animals know where good things to eat grow.
That's amazing, Osuka!
When I was little,
I lived in the mountains when I tagged along with my mother
during the filming of a movie she was starring in.
During that time, a mountain guide showed me the basics.
Osuka's a pro with survival skills.
Even when we're walking through town,
she always finds edible wild plants!
What are you doing?
I'm making a floral arrangement for Hana Sensei.
A floral arrangement?
Yeah!
She works so hard for us, so I wanted to thank her.
Okay.
But you should stay a little closer to everyone else.
Kawaki...
Are you still guarding me?
Yeah.
But the matter's been resolved, hasn't it?
That's true.
I feel like there's more things further in.
But we shouldn't go in too far.
It should be fine!
What was that noise just now?
Was it an animal or something?
Would it come this close to people?
No way...
Could it really be a Rogue Shinobi?
Let's find out, Neon.
What?!
What's going on?
Let's go get everyone.
Where could it be?
It's not here.
Found it!
My drone!
Did it get caught on something?
In an area with such good visibility?
It's never crashed in a place where there's nothing around.
Did it malfunction?
I don't think that's possible, either.
I just did maintenance on it.
Could it be... the work of the killer Rogue Shinobi?!
– No way! –
That can't be!
They've lost their searching abilities.
Everything else will be like taking candy from a baby.
Sensei!
Here you are!
What is it?
This is for you, Sensei!
You made this? For me?
Yes!
It looks good on you!
I'm truly grateful, Sensei.
Thank you. I'll cherish it.
Take a look, Himawari. Kae gave this to me!
What's the matter? Why are you in a rush?
Neon's drone is...
So, there really is a Rogue Shinobi, after all...
I'm scared, Ran!
I'm scared, too.
This is bad.
I want to leave this island as soon as possible.
Everyone, calm down!
Why don't we search the island and make 'em come out?
Good idea.
There are 19 of us.
We can win with numbers.
You shouldn't be too optimistic.
First, the Ninja Hound was disabled, and right after that, the drone.
Our searching abilities have been greatly diminished.
Harika's insects can search too, right?!
No... I can't use my insects over a wide range.
Compared to Kikuchiyo and Neon's drone,
my searching abilities are significantly weaker.
Does that mean we wouldn't even notice
if the Rogue Shinobi snuck up close?
No way...
Damn it! Is this the end for us?!
Everyone, calm down.
It's all right. I'm sure it's all right...
From here on, remain where someone can see you.
Absolutely do not do things on your own.
We have to make sure we don't go near the forest.
Kande, do we have enough food?
Yeah. Given how much everyone gathered earlier,
it's more than enough.
Please take care of meal prep right away.
Our anxiety will be quelled by a full stomach.
Is that all right with you, Sensei?
Yes.
Everyone, let's work together to overcome this adversity!
Yes, ma'am!
What are you doing?
According to Mimi,
the food stolen from Kikuchiyo was placed in the trap.
Does that mean...
Kikuchiyo was the target from the very beginning?
A Rogue Shinobi targeting Kikuchiyo...
What does it mean?
No way, Kawaki...
Do you still believe the assassin who targeted me is still alive?
I don't have proof, but...
Sorry, it's just a hunch.
I see.
Thank you for always watching out for me.
That's my mission, after all.
No, I guess that's not the only reason.
What?
I got to experience all sorts of things.
I never even thought of going to the Academy.
How should I put this?
It's been fun.
Kawaki!
I've had fun too!
Don't you actually mean nuisance?
That's not true!
You, Himawari, and everyone in class...
If any of you were missing,
I would have never had such a fun time at school.
Listen, once this extracurricular lesson is over...
I'll be returning to the Land of Bamboo.
I see...
Did you tell everyone?
Not yet. But I'm going to.
Oh, man!
After we all finally got to be such good friends, too!
And in the end, we never were able to
perform the play for the school festival.
It couldn't be helped.
After what happened, it wasn't possible to give it another try.
That's... true.
Miss Kae!
Konashi?
This is my latest creation.
Please sample it!
Thank you.
I also have some for you over there, Master Kawaki.
I don't need any!
No, you must try it!
Please! Please!
Hey, quit it!
What's the matter?
Hana Sensei!
Did something happen?
Oh, Sensei, where are your flowers?
What?!
After all the effort you went through to give it to me!
Where did I drop it?
I'll help you look for it!
I'm so sorry...
Is that one of Konashi's sweets?
Yeah, it's good.
Hey, you said you sent in the drone after hearing a noise in the bushes, right?
Did you notice anything else?
The way the blades were broken
looked as if they were cleanly sliced.
Also, I thought it was strange that it was so badly damaged
after falling from that height.
I might be overthinking it, though.
In the end, we never found out what made that noise, did we?
Yeah.
Oh, that's right!
That drone should have recording capabilities.
It was destroyed pretty badly.
I hope the data's still intact.
How about this?
It's on screen!
Amazing!
That's a Kaminarimon Company product for you!
You can't tell anything from just that much, huh?
You're right.
Let me see it again!
Huh?
Please!
Okay.
That's...
Come with me for a minute.
Huh?
What's the matter?
Did you notice it?
Notice what?
It was on screen!
Right before the drone crashed...
there were Wind Style flower petals on screen.
Wind Style flower petals?
Aren't those the ones...
No way!
Hana would have known
that our searching abilities would be diminished
if Kikuchiyo and the drone were disabled...
Are you saying Hana Sensei's
the assassin who's targeting Miss Kae?!
I don't want to believe that's the case!
But I can't deny the possibility!
She's the one who suggested that Neon be added to the search team.
And she's the one who brought us to this island.
Still, I just can't believe it.
Hana Sensei's so nice.
I can't believe she'd do something like this.
This is—!
This is bad!
It's not here either, is it?
Maybe I dropped it when I went to get water from the river.
It's in the forest. Let's try going there.
But you said that it's dangerous to go off on our own.
I'll be with you!
It should be fine for a little bit.
You went through the trouble to make me a present,
so I really want to find it.
Where are you going?!
Huh?
Kawaki?
Come over here, Kae!
What's the matter?
Sensei...
There are some questions we'd like to ask you.
Sensei!
Miss Kae!
What are you doing, Sensei?!
Please let go!
Wait!
Why you—!
Sensei!
That's not the Hana Sensei I know.
I'm sure someone switched places with her!
I haven't switched places with anyone.
That's not possible!
Hana Sensei is kind,
and even though she can be somewhat unreliable,
she always thinks of us first.
She's the best teacher!
I do cherish all of you.
You're the best cover for hiding within the village.
What?!
That's why I indulged you.
You all seemed to enjoy yourselves during the flower viewing.
You bastard!
Wind Style: Scattering Blossoms!
Kawaki! Himawari!
Wait!
Sensei!
Don't do it!
Too late!
My mission's complete!
Miss Kae!
Kae!
No way...
Why would Hana Sensei attack Miss Kae?
She was the assassin targeting Kae!
That's not true! It can't be!
You saw it with your own eyes, didn't you?
Kae was killed right before our eyes!
Hana was deceiving us all this time!
