Blurb
While our heroes are visiting their friend Sanpei’s home in Ninja Village, Chief Hanzo is captured by a group of mysterious ninja! Their leader is Kagetomo, a gifted ninja who has decided that he should be chief in Hanzo’s place.
Sanpei and his brothers are determined to free their chief, and they confront Kagetomo and his forces head on, with the help of Ash, Serena, and Clemont. During the battle, Ash’s Frogadier evolves into an immensely powerful Greninja! The ninja force is defeated, and Kagetomo sees the error of his ways and decides to refocus on his training.
Ash and friends stay to enjoy the village festival, where Hanzo names Sanpei’s oldest brother, Ippei, as the next chief. After our heroes depart, the middle brother, Nihei, tells the others that he saw something in Ash’s Greninja that reminded him of the village’s ancient hero...
Plot
<-- The episode starts with Ash and Sanpei battling Heidayu. When Shinobu and Serena escape Team Rocket using the ninja body switch, Kagetomo's Skarmory blast Team Rocket out of the village. When Ash an Sanpei were about to loose against Heidayu, Saizo comes in to battle with his Barbaracle. At that time Kagetomo's ninja force retreated with Heidayu saying "But it looks like i have bought enough time".
Later Saizo tells everyone that it was Kagetomo and his henchmen who kidnapped the chief. Saizo explains to Ash and his friends that Kagetomo was a poerful ninja from ninja village who ran away with his follower Heidayu because he was denied the position of chief due to his thirst for power. Later one of the ninjas had found that Chief Hanzo was being held captive at Otori Mountain. Then everyone goes to rescue the chief. -->

Trivia
Errors
- After Ash's friends notice Team Rocket, Dedenne can be heard despite not being physically present and Bonnie's bag being closed. This was fixed in the dub.
- After returning to the Ninja Village, the webs on both Ash's and Sanpei's Greninja's feet are missing.
- At the end of the episode as Ash and his friends walk away, the patch of brown fur on Pikachu's tail is missing.
XY099 error 1.png
The web on both Greninjas' feet are missing.
Dub edits
- The title card segment in the dub features Serena's old design.
- After Frogadier evolves into Greninja, Serena says "Next time it'll be our turn, Braixen," referring to wanting Braixen to evolve. In the original, she simply calls for Braixen to prepare to attack.
- When Bonnie, Dedenne and Squishy are cheering, the order of Dedenne's speaking is different in the dub than the original Japanese version.
