11

Five Leaves kidnaps the heir of Kanou house, but the head of the house only agrees to pay half of the ransom. The messenger requests that the hostage be killed in secret because he is not of his father's blood. The youth cannot believe this, but Ichi instructs that the hostage be released now that he knows the truth about his paternity. Ichi's actions suggests to Masa that Ichi himself had been kidnapped some time ago. Souji's old acquaintance, Jin, arrives for a few days and is looking for Seinoshin. Later that night, Jin catches up with Ichi and asserts that he is Seinoshin of Bakuro, but Masa intervenes and he leaves. Later, Masa confides in Ichi that he handed over his position to his younger brother while he tried to deal with his "weakness" and has since found a place which suits him in Five Leaves. Masa then questions Souji about Ichi and the old man tells a story of years earlier when he ordered Ichi to kill one of his men who had offended another gang. (Source: Wikipedia)
