	Infiltrating the camp, Atsuko takes out her jet black disguise and disguises herself as a guard. Making her way towards the quartermaster's tent, she is approached by a sergeant and freezes. In the instant he grabs her shoulder, Atsuko lies and states she wants to use the officers' toilet. The sergeant almost has her reprimanded but she manages to bribe him with enough for him to look the other way. However, she runs away until the sergeant was no longer there. At the tent, she slices an opening and finds the quartermaster alone. Holding her tanto to his neck, Atsuko demands the battle plans while he rejects her out of fear. However, Atsuko threatens him with going after his family if he does not comply and remain hushed about giving the plans.

	The quartermaster relents and gives her the plans. To get past the barricades, he gives a signed order from him to go by unnoticed. Believing he is going to die, the quartermaster is relieved when Atsuko spares his life. However, she mentions if he betrays him, then she will enact vengeance on his family. He closes his eye in doubtful hope and opens them to see the ninja was gone.		The quartermaster relents and gives her the plans.

	Atsuko runs through the chaos among Kayano's camp and makes her way to his tent. There, she sees her mentor Takeko fighting two samurai Saizu and Masajiro. Attempting to attack Masijiro, she is pushed back as he easily blocks her attack. Masijiro easily sees through Atsuko's disguise while he fights her while Saizu versus Takeko. Saizu blocks every one of Takeko's attack but fails to land a hit himself. Atsuko and Masijiro are in a deadlock until she pushes him back. However, breathless from killing Yoshisada and running, Atsuko almost loses concentration as Masijiro almost kills her.

However, breathless from killing Yoshisada and running, Atsuko almost loses concentration as Masijiro almost kills her.

	Meanwhile, Nobusuke easily kills Kayano's men and faces Kayano, who offers anything to stay alive. When wanting the ~~Masume~~, he gives it only to die from Lloyd splitting his head. Looking around, Lloyd sees Ibuka curled up and tells Nobusuke to deal with it as he takes ~~Masume~~. Disgusted, Nobusuke holds Ibuka up and kicks him back out of the tent. Outside, Masijiro begins to critique her until he falls forward from Ibuka being tossed out of the tent onto him. Losing his sword, Masijiro sees Atsuko about to kill him but she finds an opportunity and lands a fatal blow on Saizu. Alone, Masijiro thanks Atsuko for sparing him while escaping the fight on his horse.		Meanwhile, Nobusuke easily kills Kayano's men and faces Kayano, who offers anything to stay alive.

	While Takeko and Atsuko face off against Nobusuke, Lloyd tries to escape with the sword, regardless of his losses. Nobusuke loses the fight quickly by the two women. However, Lloyd is stopped by Ibuka and tries to kill him. Ibuka blocks his attacks and Lloyd realizes he is nearly surrounded. Trying to escape, Lloyd is jumped on by Atsuko, but manages to toss her off. Escaping into the woods, he feels elated that his mission was a success. Yet, he feels and sees that the ~~Masume~~ is gone. Ibuka wakes up from the fight and finds his sister all bloody and exhausted. Giving him the ~~Masume~~, they are soon surrounded by Katamori and his men. Under his questioning, Katamori asks what has happened. Before he could speak, soldiers shout out how he faced Lloyd but mistaken the samurais' death was his actions too.

	Ibuka asks for his punishment for failing to protect Kayano. However, Katamori sees the bodies around him and relays that his opponents were far greater and he survived and won back the ~~Masume~~ greatly. While Ibuka is taken for celebration and mourning Kayano, Atsuko and Takeko grow enraged from what transpired in front of them.		Ibuka asks for his punishment for failing to protect Kayano.

	The Emperor looks at his map and notices how his ~~masses underweigh the~~ Tokugawa's armies. Parkes tells him that size is not the most important part in their war as they possess modern technology of machine guns and cannons. They all know that the time of the samurai was near its end and that it was no match against their guns. Meanwhile, Lloyd arrives back at his lodgings at Edo Castle and ready to shower. However, a guard tells him that there is a visitor for him. Annoyed, he receives a shadowy figure from the Templars and is reprimanded for losing the ~~Masume~~. Insulted, Lloyd keeps his emotions stable and asks what to do next. The Templar tells him to win the war and crush Tokugawa's forces.

	Atsuko, posing again as Tasuke, is riddled with questions about her whereabouts and if she saw Ibuka fight. When she tells the truth of killing two samurai, the other soldiers laugh. Despite the chaos, the army keeps moving. The ~~Masume~~ is kept in Katamori's possession, where security and protection are not matters of concern. During her free time, she practices with Takeko and starts to practice their flexibility. One moment, Takeko asks Atsuko of what she thought of her brother but Atsuko is silent. Atsuko tries to backtrack but Takeko notices that Ibuka is a coward as well. Atsuko asks why she even asked while Takeko responds she wants to understand what motivates Atsuko and how to use her properly.

	Atsuko replies that she feels offended to be used as a tool but Takeko explains they are all tools and know little. However, Takeko states that they all work to better the lives of the people of Japan. She also states that Ibuka is now seen as a demi-god over the actions he took credit for, but it leads to jealousy from his fellow soldiers. Thus, Takeko tasks Atsuko to be near her brother and watch him by any means to disguise herself.

	Katamori readies his men with the best stallions and sees an incoming Takeko, who pleads for her warriors to fight alongside them. However, Katamori instructs and orders her and her women to fight and defend the ramparts. Takeko angrily accepts the order while Katamori insults her while leaving. Meanwhile, Lloyd and Parkes discuss how his Excellency expects to win in sake for their commercial treaties.

	The Imperial forces attack in the morning and Katamori unleashes his samurai at their artillery immediately. In a matter of time, the Imperial cannons stop firing while Lloyd sees their soldiers in disarray. Lloyd leads the charge and resurrects confidence into his gunners and soldiers. Then, he notices a shouting Katamori with the ~~Masume~~. Lloyd goes and fights against Katamori. At the ramparts, Takeko disobeys her orders and leads the women to the battle below them. Jumping into the icy moat, Takeko and her women attack the Imperial forces circling Katamori. Takeko and Atsuko quickly kill their enemies but their numbers begin to dwindle.

	Reaching Katamori, Takeko brings her coalition to aid Katamori. However, a stray bullet hits Takeko in the chest while Atsuko runs to her aid. Bleeding profusely, Takeko tells Atsuko to behead her corpse in order to stop those parading her head as a prize. Reluctant, Atsuko takes Takeko's naginata, beheads her dead mentor, and throws it into the moat. In front of her, a soldier with a katana comes and she tries to attack him but realizes it is Ibuka. However, the loss of concentration has Lloyd slice her stomach and knock her out. Believing herself dead, she believes she will see her parents and Takeko soon.

	Ibuka had convinced Katamori earlier to have Takeko and her women at the ramparts. When fighting, he finds out Atsuko is with him below and then hears her cries of pain. Ibuka goes to aid his sister but sees Lloyd in front of him. Katamori comes and attacks Lloyd but the Englishman swiftly beheads him. While most watch their defender die, Ibuka grabs the ~~Masume~~ while Lloyd attacks him. Realizing who they are to each other, Ibuka tries to check on Atsuko while deflecting Lloyd's attack. However, Lloyd lands a fatal blow on Ibuka's stomach with the boy holding his hand on his stomach.		Ibuka had convinced Katamori earlier to have Takeko and her women at the ramparts.

	However, Ibuka feels relief as death is imminent and fights back for the first time. Lloyd tries to kill him but Ibuka fastily avoids his attack and sprays his blood from his wound onto Lloyd. In a matter of seconds, Ibuka beheads Lloyd with the ~~Masume~~ while he goes to carry Atsuko out of the battlefield. Killing anyone in his way, Ibuka sees the battle is lost but not his sister. Meanwhile, Imperial soldiers are betting on Ibuka's survival until a samurai ends their bet and dissolves their union. Masajiro orders them to leave while he looks Ibuka carrying Atsuko.

	Atsuko awakes at a stream with her injuries wrapped. With only a tanto, she hears someone coming but falls due to her injuries. Masajiro comes and asks her to stop as he tells her what has happened. It has been a week and the shogun's side retreats while the Emperor is officially in charge with a new name. He also tells him that Ibuka died that day he saved her. Atsuko did not care for the war but begins to cry over her brother's death. However, Masajiro tells her multiple times that he died a hero, killed Lloyd, and rescued her from the battlefield. Atsuko soon asks why Masajiro saved her. Initially joking that the world needs someone like her, Masajiro tells her to rest.		Atsuko awakes at a stream with her injuries wrapped.

	Atsuko awakes again at night time while Masajiro explains why he saved her. Atsuko begins to believe that he loves her until he offers her a place in the Assassin Brotherhood. Shocked, Masajiro reveals that he has been keeping an eye on her since their initial fight and has been close to Lloyd since the beginning. Masajiro reveals himself to be Matsuo and works for Jules Brunet. Matsuo shows her the ~~Masume~~ and explains how their war is not over. She asks if the Emperor is their enemy and their mission of free will is true. He replies yes and after some pondering, she accepts the offer.

	Elsewhere, Brunet and Parkes meet and each has a cup of tea while Parkes exclaims they won the battle. However, while Brunet states the [[Assassin-Templar War\|war]] will be theirs, he continues to wonder about the Emperor's newfound power. Parkes concludes that it will be a peaceful era and that the Emperor has begun his reign under a new name, Emperor Meiji.
