Summary
- Iga, 1560
The two strangers, a shinobi and a rōnin, discuss their next steps as the rōnin recalls his time in his home region of Iga. He recounts the rumors of the Imperial Regalia being placed in a tomb but could not confirm. Knowing that they will attack soon, the rōnin plans to take the head of Momochi Sandayu as a trophy while the shinobi doubts his cohort. With their designated target, the shinobi advances with his team as both leave their meetup while Tsuyu had been eavesdropping on their conversation.
At their hut, Hattori Hanzō finds Fujibayashi Masayasu awake and studying and tells him to be on patrol. Masayasu states that he wants to learn quicker to be like them and then thanks Hanzō for his help. He continues to explain that since the day they met, he saved them from the corrupt samurai and continues to help him while he trains. Appreciated, Hanzō was about to respond until they are both caught offguard from an attack. The intruder happens to be one of the strangers, the shinobi. Hanzō tells Masayasu to run and to find help as he deals with the shinobi. The shinobi asks if he remembers him as Hanzō recalls him to be a failed applicant for Sandayu.
Meanwhile, Masayasu runs through the grounds but finds a wounded Konan, who states that multiple enemies are attacking them in multiple directions. Before he could leave to inform Sandayu, Masayasu comes face-to-face with a lone rōnin. The rōnin then asks sternly about the location of the Imperial Regalia. Realizing that this man must be with the Templars, Masayasu equips himself with his kusarigama and refutes that he knows the Imperial Regalia's location. Instantly, the rōnin attacks Masayasu, who blocks his attack. Masayasu then runs away further into the bamboo forest and starts to hide due to the rōnin's size and strength. While Masayasu is hiding, the rōnin tries to goad Masayasu into the open but nearly avoids a thrown shuriken.
The rōnin starts to look around and sees a figure with the kusarigama. Attacking quickly, he realizes that it was just the weapon and Masayasu's robes on a stick post. Upon this revelation, he begins to scramble and look around the bamboo for Masayasu. Instantly, Masayasu attacks him with his kunai and strikes the rōnin in the neck.
