Koshirou hears a voice claiming Oboro was killed by Saemon and urges him to kill her, but the voice belongs to Saemon. The woman he embraces is actually Kagerou, who kills him with her poisonous breath. When Oboro and Akeginu discover Koshirou dead, Akeginu becomes distraught and repeatedly stabs Hyouma's lifeless body in anger. Ofuku travels secretly by palanquin to Ise, where she encounters the two remaining Iga, Akeginu and Oboro. She reveals that the war concerns the Tokugawa successor. This conversation is overheard by Gennosuke, Saemon, and Kagerou, who are concealed nearby. Meanwhile, Tenzen uses his regenerative powers to resurrect his body.
