1: Oh, really?!
2: So he's still alive, huh?
3: What was his name again...?

02)
1: Kanbei, sir.
2: From the report of Gonnosuke, who we sent as an assassin, the man was sucked up into the rapids but managed to barely escape death.
3: Kanbei, eh? What a tough guy.
4: I suppose it'd be a waste to kill him, then.
5: We are having a harder time with him than we expected,
6: but with Gonnosuke...taking care of him and securing the scroll should only be a matter of time.
7: The scroll, huh...?
8: Where are you going, sir...?
9: Out for a little.
10: How long is a little...?
11: Right now Iga is surrounded by Oda forces. Going out could be a matter of life and death.
12: Where on earth could you possibly need to...

03)
1: I'll leave the land of Iga to my father.
2: The likes of Nobunaga...
3: could never possibly secure the heads...of both Hattori Hanzou and Hanzou the 2nd.
Chapter 24 - The Scroll of Momochi [7]

04)
1: See ya.
2: Yajirou-san...
3: Yajirou-san...
4(2b): Damn...dammit...

05)
1: Damn you bastards!!
2: Where are you aiming from? Stop hiding like cowards and show yourselves!!
3: I'm Kanbei of Momochi! I won't run or hide!!
4: Now come out and fight like men!!
5: Blow darts...
6: So you're the one who killed Yajirou-san...

06)
1: Are you the one who killed the man I owe my life to?!
2: The scroll you guys are after is right here!!
3: Just like you, this man was trying to bury it!!
4: And yet you...you...killed him...
sfx: gah
5: Let's fight fair and square, you coward!!
6: To think the day would come when I would hear the words fair and square from YOUR mouth...

07)
1: But cowardice was always your strong point, Kan-chan.
2: Gon-chan...
3: But fine. I'll fight fair and square just like you want.
4: If we fight fair and square, though, you have no hope of surviving.
sfx: chah

08)
sfx: zah
1: Hey...
2: Can I ask you something?
3: What?
4: Another cowardly plan?
5: Have you all always thought...
6: I was nothing but a coward?
7: On the contrary, how did you always think of us?
8: A group of fools stupid enough to always fall for your cowardly traps?
9: I...
10: I thought you were all...

09)
1: my allies...
2: Shinobi have no allies.
3: Therefore...
4: In a way, your cowardice is the most proper course of action.

10)
1: O...
2: The Oda army...

11)
1: Flee!! Get away!!

12)
1: Don't let Nobunaga get the scroll!
2: Ge...Gon-chan!
sfx: zah
3: Don't die, Kan-chan.
4: Until I kill you.
sfx: zah

13)
1: Wahhh!!
2: After him!!
3: Hiieee... x2
sfx: kaan kaan

14)
1: Haa x2

16)
1: I'm not anyone suspicious!!
2: Really, I'm not a bad guy...I just...have one request...
3: Anything is fine...
4: Please...feed me something...
5: Please...

17)
sfx: gafuh x7
2: Once you've finished, please leave.
sfx: gafuh x2
3: We don't have food to feed to people, you know.
4: It's just that this child begged and begged to let you eat...

18)
1: So you're eating her portion for today.
2: gah...
3: They took all the rice and vegetables we had...
4: and sent all our young men off to war.
5: All that's left in this village are the elderly, women, and children.

19)
1: Everything's getting worse and worse.
2: Everyone's struggling just to survive themselves.
3: No one has any emotion left over to spend on pitying others.
4: And yet, that stupid girl...!
5: Once you finish, please leave.

5: It's a rabbit!! Let's catch it and eat!

23)
1: What a pain in the ass...let's just go to the village!
2: There probably ain't shit to eat there.
3: Oh, they have stuff to eat, I'm sure...
4: What are you talking about, women?
5: Guehehehehhhhh!
6: Shall we be off?
