Itachi forces Hibukuro to surrender and has him is shot in the legs with arrows. Four years later the family is poor and hungry, with Hibukuro crippled and Ojiya is unable to provide for the three of them. They come across a devastated village and Dororo finds the victorious samurai roasting meat, when suddenly the surviving villagers attack and kill them. As the food is about to be distributed, Dororo grabs the meat and runs off. The villagers catch Dororo and the family is driven out of the village. Hibukuro tells Dororo that the ones who wage the war are responsible for the ruin of the country and its people. Hibukuro come down with a fever, and while Ojiya is gathering water, a passing princess offers food to Dororo. Hibukuro refuses the food, insults the princess, attacks her retainers and then is killed in the ensuing fight. Winter arrives, and eventually cold and starving, Ojiya dies in the snow leaving Dororo all alone. In the present, Dororo's fever subsides. (Source: Wikipedia)
