The Kouga approach Miya Port while Tenzen survives Gyoubu's attack and prepares to fight back. They engage in a cat-and-mouse game, taunting each other about past events between the Kouga and Iga. Gyoubu recalls training with his father and developing a hatred of the Iga. Akeginu stains Gyoubu with blood, allowing Tenzen to track his movements and slay him with his sword. Only four ninja now remain on each side. On the border bridge between Owari and Mikawa, the Kouga discover the body of Gyoubu embedded within a wooden crate.
