Nenki explains to Hotarubi that he killed Kouga but let Saemon escape, noting her realization that his finger bandage matches Saemon’s injury from impersonating Yashamaru. Hotarubi understands that Nenki is actually Saemon in disguise, but it is too late as he kills her. Her body falls into the valley, releasing a swarm of butterflies. Meanwhile, at Kuwana Port, Tenzen and the four remaining Iga board a boat to reach Miya Port and arrive at Sunpu first. They are unaware that Gyoubu is watching them. Tenzen arranges to be alone with Oboro, attempting to convince her to join their fight.
