THUNDER BURGER
The Chase
Hey, did you guys hear?
A bandit broke into the archives.
I did hear about that!
So, what did the intruder steal?
Data on shinobi.
Data?
My family's company helped digitize the data
on the backgrounds and achievements of the shinobi of this village.
They made a copy of it and stole it!
Huh?
I don't understand why you'd need to do that.
That's the reason why it was stolen.
Paper is best!
I'm pretty sure you can steal paper, too...
Iwabe, that is ridiculous!
Everyone is talking about the break in.
So, it actually happened.
Yeah.
I heard from my dad that
the thief's a sketchy man wrapped from head to toe in a cloak.
Because of that,
they've tightened up security in the village,
mainly around the archives.
A mysterious perp, huh?
I wonder how they got in?
About that, my mom mentioned something interesting.
You know about the village's Sensing System, don't you?
It can immediately tell
when an unregistered person enters the village.
However, they didn't sense anything before or after the incident.
Then it's an inside job...
It means it's possible that there's a spy in the Leaf.
That hasn't been determined.
It seems the Leaf Police
will be carefully investigating that possibility.
Hey, hey!
Why don't we catch that intruder?!
Huh?!
It'll be fun, like a detective show!
It's full of mystery! It's a mystery!
Aren't you guys excited?
You're being influenced by some nonsense again...
We don't even know if the intruder is in the village.
They might have already left.
No, they're still here!
My intuition is telling me that they're still lurking around!
Your intuition again?
Well, it's pretty accurate, so I guess we could give it a try.
That's what I wanna hear!
I'm not into this, you know.
Just you wait, you data thief!
Ino-Shika-Cho is gonna put you behind bars!
My intuition tells me they're somewhere around here...
Oh, where are you, little intruder?
We're not looking for a cat.
If we could find them that easily, we wouldn't need the Leaf Police.
And besides, if it is an inside job,
they're probably nonchalantly walking around the village.
I'm not searching for the intruder,
but rather their secret hideout!
– A secret hideout? – A secret hideout?
That's right!
In the show, "The Dandy Handsome Detective,"
they said that old, abandoned buildings with a good view...
far away from where people congregate,
are the most suspicious!
I doubt you'll find something like that so easily...
Look, I found one!
Really?!
I can't believe she already found something.
Come on! Let's hurry up and go inside!
Excuse me! Is anybody in here?
It seems unoccupied.
There's no presence of chakra, either.
My intuition is telling me
there's definitely something fishy going on in here!
Look around some more, Inojin!
Okay, okay!
Looks like we can go upstairs.
Wanna go up?
This is the perfect location to watch the village...
Nah, it couldn't be.
I wonder if there's anything suspicious around.
Oh! I found something suspicious!
There's no way you could find something that easily!
That's—!
Move over, Cho-Cho!
What was stolen was data...
Is this a blueprint?!
To get in to steal?
Then I got it right!
My intuition is amazing!
Was this really the intruder's hideout?!
So, where's the stolen data?
It doesn't look like it's in here.
But Cho-Cho's intuition is proving to be quite reliable.
We might actually catch the intruder!
We won't know what we'll find.
Don't let your guard down.
Someone's downstairs!
What?!
We've got you cornered, you data-stealing intruder!
Intruder?
Me?
– Lord Sixth?! – Lord Sixth?!
So, what were you doing all the way out here?
Well, I was out for a walk and just happened upon this place.
Out for a walk?
We totally got you mixed up with someone else!
Sorry, sorry!
You were actually searching for the intruder's hideout,
weren't you?
– What?! – What?!
A large group of people would stand out
and there's the potential this was an inside job.
So, that's why you came alone...
But then, we suddenly appeared.
You got me.
You truly are Shikamaru's son.
So, you were investigating on your own
after hearing what happened from my dad?
Yeah. I figured that if they had a hideout,
it would be around here.
But that said, you kids are amazing.
I can't believe you found this place.
Well, we were just lucky...
Even if you are Lord Sixth, I won't let you steal my big catch!
I won't do that.
In fact, why don't we work together?
Find the intruder together?
That's right.
One of you is skilled enough to sense even me,
and another one has great intuition.
If we're staking out this hideout, I think the more the merrier.
I also happen to have these with me.
Ah!
What is it?
I'm out of potato chips...
Hey, come on...
Inojin here.
A man in a cloak is heading your way!
Really?
He just changed directions.
He's heading south.
Changed directions?
Can't say that for sure, it's not definite.
Did he notice us? Or maybe...
Anyway, we need to go after him!
That's right.
We can't let him get away.
Is that all right, Lord Sixth?
Yeah, let's do that.
Inojin, don't take your eyes off him!
You can count on me!
I doubt he'd suspect I'm watching him from the sky!
Where is he heading?
This is bad, Shikadai!
What's the matter?
He's heading towards a major street.
If he gets lost in the crowd,
I won't be able to follow his chakra at my skill level!
Should we get him before he enters the street?
Let's do it!
Hey, we still haven't regrouped!
It won't matter if he gets away!
He disappeared?!
Over there!
Damn it!
Inojin!
No good. I've lost sight of him as well!
Did he just give us the slip?!
I guess he even noticed Inojin.
It seems that he's sneakier than we thought.
Lord Sixth!
You're so slow!
You let him get away!
Now, now...
It's still too soon to give up.
Are you saying he went into the sewer?!
A shinobi must read
the hidden meanings within the hidden meanings.
I see...
He only made us think he disappeared into the crowd...
Lord Sixth is really something.
But where did he go from here?
He noticed he was being followed, so he abandoned his hideout.
Which means his next move is...
Getting out of the village, right?
Inform the jonin on watch about his plans and seal off his exits.
I'm going after him.
Huh? But—!
Judging by his movements earlier, he's probably quite skilled.
He even took down some jonin at the archives.
Sorry, but he's too dangerous for you guys.
That means he'd escape to the outskirts of the village...
That's right.
Keep an eye on the sewer pipe right outside the village.
We'll need a pursuit team.
Yeah. Dispatch the ones who were sent to the archives!
Thank you for reporting this to us.
Excuse me!
I guess we're not gonna get to catch a big one ourselves!
Well, if it means the intruder will be caught,
that's good, right?
He doesn't have anywhere to run to anymore.
Are we sure about that?
– Huh? – Huh?
Don't you think we're overlooking something?
Is the sewer really his only escape route out of the village?
Naturally, they closed the A-Un Gate...
What other option does he have?
That's true, but...
No way!
The Thunder Train?!
That's right.
There's a manhole inside the station as well!
If he gets on the Thunder Train leaving the village,
we can get a jump on him!
All right.
I can't make it there in time from here.
Exercise extreme caution when going after him.
Yes, sir!
This is bad. The Thunder Train is about to leave!
Will we make it in time?!
Leave this to me!
Partial Expansion Jutsu!
Whoa!
Hold on, you're not thinking of—!
Have a good trip!
Chubs is crazy!
But we managed to get here!
Shadow Paralysis Jutsu, complete!
All right, let's see your face.
What?!
A Shadow Clone?!
Then where's the real guy?!
I don't know.
But it's possible he was manipulating us from the beginning.
Does this mean he's used a different escape route?
Or... no way!
Maybe he has some other goal in mind.
I wanted to go capture the intruder too!
Stop whining.
They need people keeping watch here.
They figured out the Thunder Train, but they won't guess this.
This is what it means to read
the hidden meanings within the hidden meanings.
SECRET
Now then... This should be the place.
Could this just be what you're after?
The Sixth Hokage, Kakashi Hatake.
That was a close one.
If Shikadai hadn't contacted me,
I wouldn't have realized your true goal.
You anticipated what I would do, huh?
After the first attack,
you could have escaped the village under the cover of night,
but you didn't.
I figured out the reason for that.
The data that's being digitized involves
shinobi from after the Fourth Great Ninja w*r.
Anything before that is only contained within physical scrolls.
Which means,
the data you were after is only stored here.
But security was tightened after the first incident.
So, you tried to mislead us into thinking you were escaping the village
to get the guards away from here.
I see. The hidden within the hidden...
I must say, I can see why you used to be Hokage.
I have a ton of questions for you.
How did you slip past the Sensing System?
I'm going to reveal what's under that mask of yours.
Purple Lightning!
A Shadow Clone?!
Toad Smoke Jutsu!
He got away, huh?
And from what I saw,
he still had several more tricks up his sleeve.
Damn it, what a troublesome opponent.
The data itself... had nothing to do with my goal.
I didn't expect to take such risks to get it.
I suppose I'm just getting sentimental.
That said,
I wonder why Jigen isn't launching another attack to get Kawaki back.
He must have used up a lot of chakra in that last battle...
Which means—!
SENJU PARK
You guys are amazing!
I heard you cornered the intruder with Lord Sixth!
We're not amazing.
In the end, the perp got away.
And Lord Sixth did most of the work, right?
We've still got a long way to go.
We couldn't keep up with the battle of wits
between the perp and Lord Sixth.
However, the data was protected!
That's right.
I think you did more than enough.
That's true too!
We can try to get credit for a big one next time!
You're really optimistic, aren't you?
If I get depressed, I'll just get needlessly hungry.
And so...
Let's go drown our sorrows with desserts!
You guys are coming with me, okay?!
So early in the morning?!
You don't have anything better to do, right?
– Oh, sorry, but go on ahead of me. – There's dumplings, taiyaki...
There's somewhere I need to go.
MAKE-OUT v*olence
So, this is where you were, Lord Sixth.
Hey...
Sorry for not telling you
I was heading to the archives after you contacted me.
It's fine.
If you want to deceive your enemies,
you must first deceive your allies, right?
But in the end, the intruder got away.
We don't even know why he was after such old data.
About that... I realized something.
That old data only concerns shinobi from the past,
rather than the present, right?
Yeah, what about that?
This is just a theory,
but what if the perp was one of those shinobi?
If his chakra was registered with the village,
then the Yamanaka Clan's Sensing System wouldn't detect him.
Does that mean
the thief was once a shinobi from this village?
I don't know for sure, and this is just a wild theory.
But I think we should consider all possibilities.
That's what you taught me this time, Lord Sixth.
MAKE-OUT v*olence
They're growing up well...
The next generation seems quite promising.
It's been a while since I've seen your face.
You're looking quite bloodthirsty.
Amado...
Jigen is recharging in the back.
He's still only at ten percent.
If someone wants to see him,
it's either about something very important or...
They've come to k*ll him in his sleep.
The one who informed me of this opportunity
is none other than you.
Yeah, you got here quick.
Are you done with your business with the Leaf?
Yeah, this is the chance of a lifetime.
Where are the other Inners?
Everyone's out.
None of them will ever realize...
our...
true goal.
It's finally time.
Yeah, we're going to...
take Jigen down.
Looks like we've got ourselves a secret w*apon.
It's all thanks to the data you gathered in the Leaf.
It's always good to have a lot of secret weapons.
Especially since our opponent is Jigen.
You're right.
Well then, should we begin?
Understood.
Good luck.

All right then...
I wonder if they have good coffee over there?
