History
In early 1582, the Iga kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe tracked down the leader of a local kidnapping ring to the garden. Finding a small residence besides the garden, she found the leader Kacho and confronted her. Kacho met and expressed her disappointment over her daughter's betrayal before attacking Naoe. Naoe managed to best and kill Kacho but not before revealing the Gamemaker's part in her criminal enterprise.[1]
Later in the year, the Kakushiba ikki members Naoe and Yasuke traveled to the garden after following a clue leading to Akane, a kunoichi in the employ of Genzaburo. A former Bessho clan commander, Genzaburo ordered Akane and her fellow unit members try to kill his former soldier Koshiro,[2] who aided Naoe and Yasuke take down their leader and Shinbakufu member Bessho Harumasa.[3] Arriving at the garden, they secretly trespassed while Akane played a performance with her biwa set. Confronting her, they assassinated Akane and collected a bow The Poisoner's Message from her personal effects.[2]
