3rd year in the Keicho period.

Shinshu-Outside of Ueda Castle 3rd year in the Keicho period.

Shinshu-Outside of Ueda Castle

Shinshu-Outside of Ueda Castle The great Hideyoshi has died.

Shinshu-Outside of Ueda Castle

In an instant, the entire country began a new war to gain supremacy.

Friends today, enemies tomorrow.

That's how quickly things change these days.

To survive in this age, feudal Iords must gather intelligence...

...from foreign territories...

...they do everything they can to stop information Ieaks in their own Iand.

Shinobi.

They are the ones...

...carrying out these duties in secrecy and who continue to fight.

A hot spring?

This is perfect.

Feels good!

Pretty Iittle bird is taking a bath?

I came here to take a bath, but I feel Iike a Iucky guy.

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No, no!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

Here I come!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

You!

I cut your main artery. You won't stop bleeding, Shinobi for Tokugawa.

You're a Iady ninja?

That's right.

Sanada Ninja - Kasumi I'm Kasumi of Sanada Ninja clan.

How foolish of me...

LADY NlNJA KASUMl 2 Love & Betrayal

We've sent out many Shinobi...

...but none of them have returned. Iga Clan - Hanzo Hattori

Iga Clan - Hanzo Hattori

I hate the Sanada clan.

Sanada of Shinshu is the only one siding with Toyotomi in this region.

They're just a nuisance to us Tokugawas.

I want to take them down in this next battle.

So...

I need you two to find a secret passage to Ueda castle.

Secret passage?

Iga lower class Ninja - Jinnai Kuroki Lord Ieyasu has tried once but failed.

According to their report, the castle town is Iike a maze.

Yukimura was inside the castle, but then a minute Iater he appeared before them.

Iga lower class Ninja - Akuta He used the secret passage...

Iga lower class Ninja - Akuta

Iga lower class Ninja - Akuta ...within the castle to get outside.

I don't see any other way.

If we can find that secret passage, we can make a surprise attack...

...when they come out.

Iga upper class ninja - Akanemaru PIus we'II have an advantage over them.

If the empress and the princesses decide to flee, we can capture them.

They must never find out about this mission.

If they find out that we know about the passage, they will never use it.

Jinnai, will you do it for me?

Yes!

Akuta?

Yes! I will do it.

Now, this is the map of Ueda castle.

I'm guessing the secret passage is connected to the main enclosure.

Who's there?

Hayate

It's Hayate.

He'II be a great help for us.

Hayate! Wait outside.

-Open it. -Yes, Lord.

Kasumi was thinking about the events that occurred 5 years ago.

She made a promise to her dying father that she'II protect her brother Kotaro.

She put her shame and grudge aside and became a Shinobi for the Sanada.

The ones that killed her father.

In order to protect her brother Kotaro...

...she didn't mind hiding away her sadness...

...even though she still Iooked young and pale.

That's what this admirable girl thought.

By the way, what is your name?

Kasumi.

Toukirou

Red-light district -Toukirou

He's a pretty good-Iooking guy.

So is the girl.

Seishiro Iida. Watchman for Ueda castle.

And the prostitute Kosode.

Seishiro's parents are not comfortable with the fact that Seishiro is...

... madly in Iove with a prostitute Iike Kosode.

Seishiro...

Seishiro.

Will you come again tomorrow?

I...I...

I feel the same way you do, but please understand.

No...no!

I don't understand. I don't want to understand.

Kosode!

Seishiro...

Bye.

PIease come again.

Fine.

I feel sorry for that girl.

Do you really feel sorry for her?

Oh yeah...that ointment.

Take good care of her.

Seeya.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

We should get going.

Garden at Ueda castle

Your face does Iook Iike a monkey.

I wonder who came up with an odd name Iike Kagezaru.

Stop Iaughing!

Kagezaru?

What do you want, girl?

I'm sorry, sir. It's just that he reminded me of someone I knew.

Someone?

Yes.

But now he's...

Dead?

Yes.

Why is he wearing a collar?

Sorry to hear that.

Let's go.

Yukimura Sanada

Sanada Ninja - Mufuu

Stop!

Stop the match!

Excellent.

Mufuu is a skilled swordsman.

I'm happy to see that you fought him well.

Hayate!

Hayate was raised by the stray dogs when he was Iittle.

I found him by accident and raised him to be the man he is now.

He doesn't speak our Ianguage, but he has a keen sense of smell.

But he will only Iisten to me.

If I can be part of this clan...

Hayate and I will promise you that we'II do a much better job than others.

Mufuu!

Yes, Lord.

Do you think we can use this dogman?

Yes, Lord...

Lord Yukimura sure Iikes unusual things.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

You're just Iike any other person, Master Mufuu.

Hayate Iooked Iike Kagezaru. Isn't that's why you Iooked so surprised?

It's a trap for those who knew Kagezaru.

Could it be Tokugawa?

I don't know about that.

But we have to find out the truth. Until we do, stay close to Jinnai.

Yes, Master.

Hayate always Iistens to Jinnai.

If Jinnai is a Shinobi of Tokugawa, then we have no choice but to fight.

PIease help me! I'm begging you!

What's the matter? Did you have a bad dream?

Where am I?

It's my house.

PIease try to relax.

My father was executed even though he was innocent.

My mother killed herself.

And my old servant was attacked by a robber during our trip and...

Looks Iike you've been Ieading a good Iife. But it must've been painful for you.

PIease don't Ieave me!

This house isn't that great.

But please stay here and rest for a while.

Excuse me.

I'II be one of the gate keepers from now on.

I'II be one of the gate keepers from now on. Castle gate /Outer enclosure West

Castle gate /Outer enclosure West

My name is Jinnai Kuroda. Castle gate /Outer enclosure West

I'm Seishiro Iida.

I've been a gate keeper ever since my father Ieft this position.

Is that right? Your father too?

Well, Iet's just hope that we can get promoted soon.

Good day.

Outside Ueda castle Outer enclosure East

Shut up!

You saw someone suspicious?

This attire belongs to the Shinobi of Tokugawa!

Well, let's just hope that we can get promoted soon.

Intruder!

There's an intruder!

I heard one of the guards named Seishiro Iida...

...took down one of the Shinobi of Tokugawa.

Yes.

He was promoted. Now he's a guard for the inner part of the castle.

That fool...

What do you think?

I believe the Shinobi was killed by someone else.

I Iooked at the corpse...

But I just can't believe Seishiro killed him.

I believe that sword wound was from a Shinobi.

Today is Jinnai's first day as an off-duty guard.

Be careful!

Yes, Master.

I can't believe that girl Kosode...

Hey, go take a Iook.

I don't want to.

Stop complaining and go take a Iook!

Okay, okay.

Oh, welcome.

You have a prostitute by the name of Kosode?

-Yes. -Kosode...

We sure do. Are you sure you want her?

Don't come back Iater asking for your money back.

Hey, hurry up and get her!

Kosode!

I'm definitely going to buy you out of here, then you're going to be my wife.

Kosode.

I'm happy, Seishiro...

You have a customer, Kosode.

Stop sobbing!

You know us prostitutes can't pick and choose which men we want, don't you?

That's enough.

PIease enjoy.

Have Iots of fun, okay?

Did you get dumped by the man you Ioved?

No!

This is interesting.

I can't see.

What is he doing?

Stop it!

Yes...yes...

She tried to refuse at first. So why is she doing it?

Yes...yes...

Yes...

I think I'II die...

Why do I shed so many tears?

How come I feel so sad?

You know how to treat women better than dogs, Jinnai.

No, it's because of the drug.

But the Sanada Shinobi who's after me...

She has a weak heart.

She's nothing but a child.

I see...

At the brothel, huh?

And?

I guess if he's a man, he'd do it with her.

A prostitute who uses her body to get money from men.

A Iady ninja who deceives men.

Don't you think you two are alike?

Kasumi.

Don't get upset from things Iike that. This is nothing.

I don't care about that!

This is the end of my report for today.

Both my father and mother approve of you, Akuta.

If you Iike you could...

Yes.

I envy you since you're simpleminded.

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Are you okay?

What the hell did you do?

PIease stop!

Miss, he's not a man. He won't understand unless I do this.

I'm sorry, Hayate.

This is an important period. Do you understand?

What is with those eyes?

Even I know that the girl is a Shinobi of Sanada.

If you do something stupid and she suspects us...

You idiot!

You just Iisten to what I say.

Got it?

I'm sorry. You got punished because of me.

Let me just put some analgesic on you.

What's wrong?

I think I'm going to melt.

Is this your first time kissing?

Yes.

I've heard about it.

I see.

I want to be with you Iike this forever.

-I don't want you to go to work either. -I can't do that.

I don't want you to.

When I was traveling, I heard there's a secret passage from the castle.

I'II sneak in through that passage to see you.

You know about that passage, don't you?

No, even if there is a passage, I wouldn't knowwhere it is.

Liar!

I'm telling you that I don't know.

You say that you're heading to work...

...but you're probably going to see a prostitute...

...named Kosode.

-How do you know about her? -So it's true.

No!

I'm not interested in a prostitute who sleeps with any man.

My feelings are all for you, Akuta. I want you to believe me.

Then show me that you're serious.

I want you to find me that secret passage.

Fine.

I promise.

I'm happy.

A month has passed. I don't see any suspicious activity.

Jinnai is guarding the eastern part of the outer enclosure.

What about Toukirou?

He goes there when he is off duty.

He's there tonight again.

He Ioves women, eh?

It must've been hard for you. He was always putting on a show for you?

What's wrong?

I saw him going in and out of Toukirou.

Are you telling me that you didn't check on him when he was inside?

-Keep an eye on him a Iittle Ionger! -But...

I want you to go there right now! You're too soft, Kasumi!

I hate brothels.

Those places are filled with the ugliness of humans and sadness of women.

You're really something, Jinnai.

What is the current situation at Ueda castle?

They're still keeping an eye on me.

If they catch me doing something suspicious, I'II be in Iots of trouble.

You can't make a move until you gain their trust, huh?

Both you and Akuta need more time.

But after they stop watching me...

I can use Hayate to get things done.

He can sniff out the human scent Ieading to the secret passage.

Make sure you get the job done.

I know how important this mission is.

I just need a Iittle more time.

Fine.

I'II go and tell Hanzo that you'II get it done by the next off duty night.

Left batto-jutsu...Iga Ninja?

Now that you know our secret...

I can't just Iet you go.

How many times do I have to ask you?

Tell me where the secret passage is.

I'm telling you that I don't know!

I guess you really don't know.

Kill me!

-I want you to kill me! -I can't do that.

I don't care how you die, but Jinnai is going to take all the blame for it.

AII our hard work is going to be wasted.

I want you to promise me that you won't speak to anyone about tonight.

I can't do that!

Stop it!

No!

Promise.

Stop it!

No!

No!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Let me go.

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it!

That prostitute Kosode is going to get killed. I have to do something.

I won't Iet you reveal our secret.

On Anchi Sowaka...

On Anchi Sowaka...

On Anchi Sowaka...

On Anchi Sowaka...

On Anchi Sowaka...

Kotaro?

Kotaro?

Kotaro!

Hey, where do you think you're going, Kosode? You're not going anywhere!

As Iong as I'm running this business, I won't Iet you do just whatever you Iike!

No, no!

Look!

We can make Iots of money with this one.

Kosode, take good care of her.

She Iost her memory...

...but she was able to flee on her own.

Shinobi acting on instinct, huh?

Jinnai is going to get the job done very soon.

What about me?

Hanzo said you two should come back together.

You should wait at the Toukirou.

Yes.

Akuta was a Iady ninja for the enemy?

You don't sense anyone watching me?

I guess they trust me now.

What, Seishiro?

Are you saying that a Iady ninja from the enemy side is staying at your place?

I was fooled by her.

You were fooled? I see.

It seems Iike there might be others involved as well.

That's terrible news.

Did you report this to anyone?

If I did that, then Akuta will...

Are you saying that you fell in Iove with this Iady ninja?

Then maybe I should report this.

No.

I'II report it.

I'm sorry for getting you involved in this conversation.

If you can, please try not to tell this to the others.

I understand.

Hayate!

You'II have to make good use of that nose tonight.

Are you awake?

You're all right now. My name is Kosode.

What's your name?

I don't know.

Who am I?

Where am I?

You're at a brothel named Toukirou.

Brothel?

You were seriously wounded. You should Iie down a bit more.

Excuse me.

Ah, Kasumi.

-So this is where you were. -Hey!

How dare you come in here Iike this?

I was the one who found this girl!

Then what do you want me to do?

This. I want you to pay me the kind of money she's worth.

Welcome.

I'm sorry to ask you this but...

Can you give me back this girl?

She went missing. I was searching for her since Iast night.

Yes.

But...

But?

She's acting weird.

She doesn't even know her own name.

Oh?

Let me see.

Kasumi?

Kasumi?

Miss.

Can you bring me a washtub filled with water?

Water?

Yes.

Looks Iike somebody's playing tricks on her.

Water is going to fix the problem?

Yes.

Sure, I don't mind bringing it.

They erased her memory... I guess they're getting impatient.

I was tricked?

Yeah.

By one of the Tokugawa.

I'm going to cut the bad substance that's blocking your memory.

I want you to Iook carefully without being afraid.

Rin.

Pyo.

Tou.

Sha.

Kai.

Jin.

Retsu. Zai.

Zen.

Master Mufuu!

Why are you here?

Where are we?

Your memory was erased by hypnosis.

I heard you talking.

She's back to normal.

Yes.

Kasumi?

She's the one who saved your Iife.

My name is Kosode.

Thanks.

I'm Kasumi.

Kasumi.

I don't care how you die. Jinnai is going to take all the blame for it.

Master Mufuu!

Ueda castle/Main enclosure secret passage

Come on, Kasumi!

Yadesawa - Goshinboku

I didn't know it was connected to the Goshinboku.

Mufuu!

Jinnai Kuroki.

So you were a Shinobi of Tokugawa.

I can't Iet you Iive.

Kill him, Hayate!

Hayate! Stop!

Hayate!

I just cut your hand.

Hayate!

Hayate, we don't have to fight anymore.

You're free now.

Stop fighting.

You should stop too, Master Mufuu!

Hayate?

Hayate!

I don't want you to die! Hayate!

He had fighting in his nature.

Hayate!

Hayate!

Hayate!

I can't believe she was acting out her part.

Akuta Ioves me.

She won't Ieave me.

Akuta Ioves me.

What's wrong? AII of a sudden...

I thought you were going to disappear from my sight.

I will always be by your side, Seishiro.

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

Let me share my feelings with you.

Seishiro.

Looks Iike your medicine worked really well.

He's able to walk now. AII thanks to you, Kosode.

But I'm really glad.

Hayate.

Hayate.

It's time to say goodbye, Hayate.

You have to flee.

I want you to be free.

Okay?

Eat it.

You can't Ieave this place, right?

Yeah.

This body is just a tool.

I began to think that way after meeting Seishiro.

Now I feel much better.

My heart belongs to Seishiro only.

You're a strong girl, Kosode.

I was just a prostitute with no one to depend on, but Seishiro gave me...

...the hope to Iive.

I promised Seishiro that I will marry him.

Isn't there someone you Iike, Kasumi? What about Hayate?

Hayate will never get used to me.

Why do you say that?

Is it because of that master?

That's not it.

Liar.

I'm serious.

But I have a Iittle brother.

Since our parents died, I'm here in Ueda to work on my own.

I see.

So you have a Iittle brother.

I envy you.

His name is Kotaro.

I only get to see him once in a while.

I can even risk my Iife for Kotaro.

Me too.

I can risk my Iife for Seishiro as well.

I want to see Seishiro.

I want to see Kotaro.

Seishiro.

It turns out that I have to Ieave this place.

What?

I knew it! You were deceiving me all this time!

What are you doing?

I saw you speaking to a Iady ninja.

Oh Senshiro, so you knew about it?

I gave up on Kosode for you.

I even betrayed Lord Yukimura!

You couldn't find the secret passage after all. Don't make such a fuss.

I heard lida committed suicide with his lover.

Her name was Akuta and she was really gorgeous.

I heard he was madly in love with her.

They were found dead after making Iove. They really must've Ioved each other.

Kosode...

He'II come on the night when Jinnai is off duty.

This will be an avenging battle.

Kosode...

Jinnai.

You swapped women?

Yes.

Kosode committed suicide by hanging.

By the way, Jinnai, what happened to Akuta?

Akuta?

You mean the woman who committed suicide with Seishiro Iida.

What about her?

What are you doing?

Stop playing games, Shinobi of Sanada. Akuta is a Iady ninja of Tokugawa...

Die!

Stop right there, Kasumi! He's no ordinary man.

Hayate!

You're switching sides?

Kasumi!

Stop!

Stay back!

This is between him and me.

2 years Iater.

September of the fifth year in Keicho.
