Plot summary
Edward Kenway overhears the workers talking about Hendrik's log being bought by Madam Lee. Yet, his current objective is to steal enough salt and sugar for the village without being detected. Before he could act, Edward sees a bomb thrown inside the storehouse and everything catching on fire. Using this attack as a distraction, Edward jumps down and starts to loot the items. Trying to past by the workers, he is noticed but states to the workers that the fire requires their attention. Unfortunately, the workers are quickly cut down by ninjas, who begin their attack on Edward.
Three ninjas attack Edward, who dodges their attacks. Quickly, he kills the three ninjas with ease and shocks the two remaining ninjas on horseback. The two ninjas begin to shoot at Edward, who hides behind some crates. Dodging one of the ninjas, he jumps over one of them and kills him instantly. Scaring the other ninja, Edward sees him fleeing and throws a sword into the ninja's horse's leg. Stuck, the last ninja tries to stab Edward, but Edward disarms and holds his blade to his throat. Edward tries to interrogate him but the ninja states he knows about the Assassins. The ninja himself proclaims to be part of the Shimazu clan before committing suicide with Edward's blade.
In the Animus, Noa recognizes the word of the Assassins and recalls a conversation with Shimazu Sei. Dr. Shimazu Sei explains that the war between Templars and Assassins has left bloodshed and trails of violence, mostly due to the Assassins' cause for freedom. However, Noa retorts that the Templars are no better, due to them kidnapping him and others and being used as lab rats. Noa states he will see what the truth through his time in Edward's memories.
