疾風迅雷 忍び道 – Shippuu Jinrai Shinobi Michi

With Lightning Speed, the Way of the Ninja

Nin! Nin! Nin-nin-nin!

Blending in the dark, until I fulfill my duty (nin-nin ni-ni-ni-ni)
With yellow-lightning speed, I run to and fro

One, one so shy
Two, too gloomy at times
Three, thrice the amount of energy recovered, nin-nin

Every day is spent in diligence — shuriken, shadow-running (nin-nin ni-ni-ni-ni)
The words of others matter not, for I shall see my task through

Though I mean well, I find myself running in circles yet again
Fallen leaves flutter about
“Ninja Art! Sleep It Off To Forget-no-Jutsu!”

With lightning speed! (Ai!) Until I obtain true strength
Tears will simply be nin-nin-nin-nin
My enemy is my own self
With lightning speed! (Ai!) Though I may evade, shrouded in smoke
I will not run from my weak self
That is the way of the ninja
Ninja-go, Ninja-be, Ninja-way! Ai!
Nin! Nin! Nin-nin-nin!

Contrary to my intentions, just taking a glance (nin-nin ni-ni-ni-ni)
Turns my ears crimson — I’ve messed up yet again

Four, forlorn cowardice
Five, fighting ever so meekly
Six, simply forcing myself to toughen up, nin-nin

What meaning in my existence could there even be? — As I struggle day after day with those thoughts (nin-nin ni-ni-ni-ni)
I’m fine as I am — There lies power in the words of my friends

With lightning speed! (Ai!) Though solitude accompanies ninjas, even then
The loneliness will also be nin-nin-nin-nin
For I am not alone
With lightning speed! (Ai!) Though time may vanish like a flash of light
Friendship, love — all be eternal
That is the way of the ninja
Ninja-go, Ninja-be, Ninja-way! Ai!

“Meeting everyone has truly, truly brought me great happiness!
All of you have my utmost undying gratitude!”
“Shuriken, shu-shu-shu-shu!”
“Shuriken, shu-shu-shu-shu!”
“Makibishi, po-po-po-poi!”
“Makibishi, po-po-po-poi!”
“Suiton, pushu—!”
“Suiton, pushu—!”
“Bunshin, bu-bu-bu-bun!”
“Bunshin, bu-bu-bu-bun! Bun! Shin!”1
“Shuriken, swoosh-swoosh-swoosh!”
“Shuriken, swoosh-swoosh-swoosh!”
“Caltrap, bam-bam-bam!”
“Caltrap, bam-bam-bam!”
“Water-escape, fshh—!”
“Water-escape, fshh—!”
“Cloning, bu-bu-bu-bun!”
“Cloning, bu-bu-bu-bun! Bun! Shin!”

As my back braces against the raging wind
With utmost stealth, today is another day I protect smiles
That is the way of the ninja
“Ninja Art: Smile-no-Jutsu!”

With lightning speed! (Ai!) Until I obtain true strength
Tears will simply be nin-nin-nin-nin
My enemy is my own self
With lightning speed! (Ai!) Though I may evade, shrouded in smoke
I will not run from my weak self
That is the way of the ninja
Ninja-go, Ninja-be, Ninja-way! Ai!
