Returning to Iga Tubagakure the Iga group comes across Okoi. They feign friendliness, however Okoi is suspicious and takes off, chased by Nenki. Using his excessive body hair, and bo staff Nenki knocks out Okoi, but Tenzen decides to keep her as a hostage rather than kill her. Even more concerned about Gennosuke following the Iga raid, Hyouma suspects that the truce may be over, and sends Gyoubu and Saemon to follow the Iga. Meanwhile, as Yashamaru returns from Sunpu, he is concerned that the Kouga may already have acted on the annulment of the truce. He is interrupted by Kisaragi Saemon who pretends to be Tenzen, so Yashamaru tells him about the end of the truce and the scrolls with the ten names. Shocked, Saemon reveals his identity and Yashamaru attacks him, but he is caught and choked by Gyoubu who was hiding within a wall. Yashamaru's death is witnessed by one of Hotarubi's butterflies. Tenzen and his group return to the Iga Tsubagakure with Okoi as their prisoner while Saemon takes the face of Yashamaru and prepares to infiltrate the Iga. Gennosuke and Oboro are still unaware of the events unfolding around them. (Source: Wikipedia)
