Hearing the song again, she turned and hoped to see her mother but saw [[Hattori Hanzō]] enter. Hanzō then placed the Mirror on its pedestal and revealed how [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] stole it back from the [[Templars]] and gave it to him upon request. Walking out, Hanzō told Naoe about how Ieyasu noticed her and [[Yasuke]]'s efforts and how the lord admired their work.<ref name="Meaning of the Blade"/>
 
Outside, Hanzō then admitted that he unknowingly gave the Imperial Regalia's location in [[Izumi Settsu]] and betrayed Tsuyu's trust over her choosing Nagato and building a family with him. Although he regretted it immediately, he failed to save Nagato and offered Naoe a place with him to find Tsuyu and to leave the Kakushiba ''ikki''. Angered, Naoe challenged Hanzō to a duel and ultimately bested him. While Hanzō waited, Naoe did not kill him. When Hanzō was about to leave, Naoe told him that revenge has led them both on a downward spiral. Forgiving him, Naoe offered him a place back into the league, to which he solemnly agreed, and together they would find Tsuyu.<ref name="Meaning of the Blade"/>

Concept art of Naoe at Masuda Iwafune

Asuka Rocks is a collection of rock structures situated in Nara in Yamato, Japan. Some of these rock structures are Masuda Iwafune, Kameishi, Nimenseki, Saru-ishi, and Sakafuneishi.

History[edit | edit source]

These rock formations were dated back to the 7th century Asuka period and composed mainly of granite. Since that time, they hold no religious significance or ties and remain a mystery.[1]

During her tenure as the Master Assassin of the Kakushiba ikki, Fujibayashi Tsuyu led a secret project at Sakafuneishi and requested the help of Tsubasa, whom she offered one more chance after her failed recruitment mission.[2] There, they constructed a secret base and storage for the Imperial Regalia.[3]
