Ep. 8: Un flashback revela la propuesta de duelo ninja de Tenkai mientras Hachiro evade trampas y se alía con Gobo contra Joujin.

In a flashback to 18 years earlier in Edo Castle, Tenkai is seen proposing a ninja duel to the shogun to settle his succession and save a costly war between opposing samurai. In the present, Tadanaga's commander Bunnoshin, prepares to trap Hachiro, firstly by a group of archers commanded by a man with sensitive hearing who can direct their arrows to avoid Hachiro's Dojutsu technique. However a flight of crickets sent by Shichigen distracts him, enabling Hachiro to use his Dojutsu to destroy them all. The next trap uses riflemen commanded by the master marksman Gorouza the Hawk, but Shikibu first ambushes the riflemen, with Hachiro then killing the remainder. Gorouza prepares to shoot Hachiro, but soap bubbles he blew to show wind direction enable Hachiro again to use his Dojutsu and Gorouza shoots himself. Hachiro then refuses his comrades' help, wanting to seek revenge without spilling their blood. When Hachiro stops for food, he meets Gobo, High Priest Tenkai's ninja monk, who offers an alliance against the common enemy, Joujin, who now has additional forces called the Rain. Meanwhile Utsutsu and Rui investigate the Murakumo. They encounter what appear to be farmers, but they are Joujin's Rain fighters. Pursued by the Rain, the two ninja fight back with their special skills. At Suruga, Joujin confronts Tadanaga. (Source: Wikipedia)
