Summary
- Iga, 1560
Fujibayashi Masayasu jumped from the shadows and strikes the rōnin down with a kunai to the neck. With his opponent down, Masayasu starts to realize that he killed the intruder. While speaking the last rites to the man, the rōnin punches him and stands up. While impressed of his skill, the rōnin states that he missed the intended spot and was never able to kill him. Masayasu then throws dirt in the rōnin's face and tries to take ahold of the ōdachi but is kicked harder away from it. While nearly beaten, Masayasu asks his attacker why he works for the Templars to steal back the Imperial Regalia from the Assassins.
The rōnin explains that he is not interested in the fight between the groups and that he and his fellow cohorts were contracted to find the Assassins in Iga, acquire the Imperial Regalia, and give it to his employer. Otherwise, everything is of no consequence to him. Walking towards Masayasu, he takes off the kunai from his neck and nearly strikes Masayasu. Immediately, Momochi Sandayu jumps from the shadows and slices the rōnin's arm off with his katana. Masayasu stands up while Sandayu congratulates him on discovering more information from the enemy but states that he is not directly linked with the Templars. Tying up loose ends, Sandayu almost strikes down the rōnin but stops after hearing a noise. He advises Masayasu to never linger on striking down his enemy and to control his emotions.
Hearing more blades in the bamboo, Sandayu tells the shinobi surrounding him and Masayasu that they are cowards and have no honor while the shinobi start to move in closer. While they faced off against the shinobi, Kuroiwa Gonjou-rou ran from the scene. One of the shinobi orders the rest to attacck and kill the both of them. However, Sandayu hears a slight noise and tells his attackers that they are predictable. Out of the shadows, Tsuyu kills five of the shinobi while four more surround her.
Without a sweat, Tsuyu manages to cut them down easily. With the last one surviving, the lone shinobi asks who she is. She states that she is an Assassin who "works for the light," before she kills him. She turns to Sandayu and reveals that she has a message from her mentor Alvaro Catarribera and how she caught sight of the attackers beforehand. She explains that the message was that she will leave Iga immediately to help out her mentor.
