The identity of the mysterious Kamen Rider Hattari
is uncovered to be Rentaro's best friend, Icchy.
Konjo Isamichi.
And only moments after this surprise revelation,
Shinobi is attacked by a swarm of shurikens.
What will happen to Shinobi?
The eastern skies are set ablaze
Dyed in a crimson red
I'm trapped amidst a dream and reality
And now my heart begins to beat
Walking a fateful path
Guided by a shining light
Leading towards the truth
That twirling oath will dance throughout the vast sky
And transcend the limits of our time
Take my hand and walk the path of Shinobi
My dearest Shinobi!
I've been wanting to see you!
- Hey, come on now!
You're so cool!
Is today the day you show me who you really are?
Sorry, but could you not...
Man! He ran away again!
Volume: The Dark Ninja's Assassination
NEXT NINPOW!!
Even with this power...
I lost against Kamen Rider Shinobi.
I can't reveal who I am until I've bested him.
I'd be completely humiliated if I don't!
Icchy!
What is it, Rentaro?
Seems as though Iroha's shurikens
were all bent out of shape.
Pretty strange how that happened.
Don't you think?
Isamichi.
I'm sorry!
It was all my doing!
I tried to sabotage Iroha's success...
It was terrible of me.
Would it really bother you so much if Iroha won?
It'd all be over!
At my company...
office romances are forbidden!
If she won, she'd be getting a job at my company.
Actually...
Truth be told... I wish for her to be my secretary this very instant.
Isamichi, here is your tea.
Thank you.
But, it's impossible for us to be together at the office.
If only office romances weren't forbidden!
I see, that's why you did all that?
That's kind of a low move.
I regret it so much I could die.
I'm such a fool.
Wait, then...
who did I throw a shuriken at?
If it was Icchy, he would have had an injury.
But it doesn't seem like he does.
Then that would mean... it was someone else?
Who the heck could it be?
Ren!
You're still here? What about work?
Forget that, how was the tournament?
I made it to the finals!
Oh, really?
So don't worry about me, go to work.
Well then!
Break a leg!
Rare to see him so obedient...
And now!
First thing, find that person who was injured.
Are you okay?!
They're dead.
This is a professional's handiwork.
The Rainbow Serpents' assassination unit has sent out the Dark Ninja.
Most likely in search for the princess' location.
Could it be...?
Iroha's identity got out?!
Without further ado, we will be moving on to the final stage.
Second stage preparations have been completed.
For the final match,
The ninja to take this scroll within the time limit will be the winner.
These guys look pretty strong.
I want to support Iroha.
But I don't want her to win.
However, there will be an additional special rule.
A special rule?
Killing any challenger other than yourself...
will result in an automatic win, regardless of the time limit.
Kill?
What the...?
Papa didn't tell me anything about that.
Now, let the match begin!
Who are those guys?
Could Papa have made a secret rule I didn't know about again?!
Transform!
NIN-WHO?
NIN-ME! NINJA!
ENTER THE SHINOBI!
Shinobi!
Wait!
Wait, Shinobi!
I'll fight with you!
Stop, Iroha!
I'll be the one to protect you.
Not a chance. Shinobi will do!
That Shinobi...
So you were behind all this.
Dark Ninja!
So you've figured me out, huh?
I can't believe the professional assassin would show himself.
Before I rip your heart out of your chest, I have only one thing to ask.
You are always lingering around that woman. Why is that?!
What are you on about?
Whenever that woman is in trouble, you always show your face!
You targeted that girl just to lure me out?
What relationship do you have with that woman?
Why are you interested in that?
Your target is my life, isn't it?
Have it your way.
Today is the day I take your life!

NIAGARA NINPO!
Who was that?!
The one to defeat Shinobi
stands before your very eyes.
Hey! W-wait!
If you're gonna swing that thing,
then swing it over there!
Hey! Could you stop for a sec?
Exposing your identify is my top priority!
Now, show me who you are!
- Hey, hold on!
Quit it!
I won't let you win! I'll prove how much more handsome I am than you!
I'll be the one to protect you.
Not a chance. Shinobi will do.
What are you blabbering about?
Hey there!
You want to know Shinobi's identity?
Correct!
Then lend me your strength. We will unmask Shinobi together.
Alright! I'm in!
Shoot. My transformation was broken.
Why?
I have to transform again.
Wait!
The gourd!
What...? Rentaro?
Rentaro! Wait, I mean...
You there. Have you seen Shinobi?
I think he went that way.
I see. Thank you, citizen!
Hold it right there, Shinobi!
I can't let this go on.
I need something to hide my face.
The cloth I took from Icchy?
Better than nothing I guess.
So you were Shinobi this whole time?
Ninpo: Self-Snared Snake Technique!
My body won't move.
You're helpless when you aren't transformed!

Next Time on Rider Time Shinobi:
The battle's now at a KAPOW time!
Time for Shinobi to hit a HIGH-TEMPO!
Hit me with the POLE for that victory POSE!
But what's at the end for them to SHOW?!
