THE SECOND ASSASSINATION

Who are you?!

Tl-IE RED Sl-IADCDVV Tl-IAT DISAPPEARED IN CDVVARI (Owarf n! Kfeta Akaf Kageboshr)

Look what you've done.

Now it's worthless.

Stop playing dangerous games around here.

Let me go.

Someone could get hurt.

All right, all right!

I'm sorry.

Really?

Will you buy some sakAQ to apologize?

Pardon me.

Is Sir Han-ko in?

Yes he is. Please, wait here.

Thank you.

What does she want with him?

I don't know, but it looks important.

I'm going to call him. - No. I'll go.

Mind the store for me.

That feels really nice.

Good.

So sorry. What did I trip on?

Madam. - Han-ko.

You should stop making so many female friends.

It's disgusting. - What do you mean?

There's another one here to see you. - Who?

Isn't her name Ivliyuki?

Don't fall for women like her, you may end up miserable.

She looks like the persistent type.

Novv, that would be nice.

Are you done already?

What do you mean? He gave you a nice long massage.

Okimi, she's through here!

Okay!

What a surprise. Your boss, he's?

Well, I don't know who your boss is.

I'm just surprised she let you go.

I convinced her to grant my request.

Even after I'm gone, please help the lady.

I'll let my chief know.

Are you taking a trip?

What's wrong?

It's personal. Don't mind me, please.

Please take care.

Excuse me.

Please give your chief my best regards.

Right.

Han!

What is it?

A samurai captured Sasuke.

This sakA© is tasty indeed.

Can you afford to buy all that sakA©?

Of course I can't afford it.

Why did you bring him here?

Miss! I'm running dry!

Coming!

Here you are.

The sakA© is sweet, and you're so pretty.

I'm so happy!

Are you still drinking?

Lad, drink with me.

I can keep drinking.

So, don't worry over me.

Sir, the sakA© isn't cheap here.

He can't afford to pay for all this.

Please, give him a break.

I see. Well, if you say so.

I can stop here.

Thank you!

Bye!

Hey! Wait!

Tell me who you are.

I'm just a top spinner.

Hey, lad!

There's something about you folk...

that's suspicious.

Stop it! I'm ticklish!

Han. - What's wrong?

ls this your lover?

Don't be rude. He's our...

No! No!

I'm sorry for the trouble the youngster caused.

Are you their big brother?

Serve him sakA©.

All right.

Hovv understanding.

That's going too far.

We're just plain folks here.

Forget it. I don't care who you are.

It's best not to get involved.

Thanks for the sakA©.

Sir! One moment!

We said, it's our treat.

I see.

My name's Yamanouchi Kanbei.

I'll see you again.

Yamanouchi Kanbei?

Who is he, anyway?

One of the top four Owari-Yagyu svvordsmen.

Oh, hello there.

Two of the Shogunate officials who opposed Elder Kuze

have been murdered.

And now Kuze has left for Owari.

Under secret orders from Lord Ivlitsusada of Kishu...

he's trying to get close to Lord Tokugawa Tsunanobu of Owari...

to undermine the Shogunate family

I understand.

So, the Shogunate family is in danger.

That's it.

Hanzo...

Please rush over to Ovvari

and find out the truth of the matter.

I refuse.

Hanzo...

We could care less who takes power.

I won't listen to that.

When there is disorder throughout the land,

it's the common people who will suffer the most.

That should trouble you.

I have one question for you.

Why did you let Ivliyuki go?

She's probably gone to Ovvari to pursue Elder Kuze,

wo killed her husband, Ivlakino Hyobu.

Why don't you ask me to save lvliyuki's life?

Halting the conspiracy that endangers the country...

is more vital than her personal vendetta.

Even after I 'm gone, please help the Lady

I care nothing for your noble cause.

But, I can't let the woman die in vain.

Men, Kuze is trying to destroy us.

Be very careful.

Did Kuze send you here?!

You may kill me, but justice will prevail.

Halt!

Kanbei, what a strange place to meet.

Yabuki, what have you done?!

Stay out of this!

We are following the SenseFs orders.

What?

Who's there?

What is the purpose of this carnage, Owari-Yagyu swordsman?

Who are you?!

Just a passing priest.

Kill him!

Withdraw!

Yabuki, withdraw!

Let's go!

Aren't you an lga Ninja?

Tarao Hanzo, I presume.

The sakA© this afternoon was delicious.

Hanzo, stay away from the Owari-Yagyu men.

Is that clear?

SHADOW WARRIORS III

"Madam, I'm feeling poorly, from working too hard."

What a joke.

He has no dedication to work.

Hey, ugly! This water is lukewarm!

Okimi! The water's lukewarm!

I heard you!

Why do I have to be our stoker?

It's been a while.

Hovv long has it been?

The ladies' bath is disgusting.

Then, try bathing on the men's side.

I'm too embarrassed.

I have a favor to ask you.

My stoker went to the hot springs in Hakone.

Isn't Han feeling well?

If I let you use this private bath,

will you work in his place here?

There's no way I can do it.

So he can't do it.

Nagoya, in Owari province, is famous for its castle.

Being first among the family branches that can succeed as Shogun,

the Owari clan has a stipend of 610, OOO-koku.

OVVARI-YAGYU

(DVVAR l-YAGYLJ There are two factions of the Yagyu styfe of fencing.

OVVARI-YAGYU

(DVVAR l-YAGYLJ The Edo- Yagyu, with Lord Tajfma as head,

The Edo- Yagyu, with Lord Tajima as head,

held a 12, OOO-koku daimyo status, and was famed across the land

as the fencing school of the Shogunate family

However, the Owari- Yagyu here, was only a fencing school to the Owari clan,

with a tiny stipend of 500-koku.

They have tight security here.

That's because the Elder is here as a guest.

What do we do?

We'll manage somehow.

By the way, Kijiro, do you notice something?

What do you mean?

This isn't ordinary tile.

Let's take one to the chief.

The untapped power of the Owari-Yagyu is unlimited.

Exactly.

Truly promising.

Lord Kishu thinks you're the man behind Lord Owari.

He has very high expectations of you.

I am deeply honored.

Has Tokugawa Tsunanobu, the Lord of Owari, decided?

He just needs another push.

He has strong ambitions to reach for power.

Tell him he has great hopes of success when you meet him.

Then he will do as we wish.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's meeting.

Same here.

What is your name?

I'm Ohisa, daughter of the pharmacist, Kodamaya.

A woman with your beauty is rare even in Edo.

Elder, she truly seems to have caught your eye.

Ohisa, you are truly a fortunate woman.

It's auspicious indeed.

Sensei.

What is it?

Kanbei has just returned from Edo.

Inexcusable!

Kanbei!

You went to Edo without my permission...

and rebuked Yabuki and the rest for their actions.

Why did you interfere?

Answer me!

Sensei, hovv can you let Elder Kuze

talk you into murdering officials from the Shogunate cabinet?

If this ever became public,

the Owari-Yagyu school will be closed down!

You must be mad.

Kahbei, I'm doing this to make Owari-Yagyu highest of all.

I have the support of the Lord of Ovvari clan.

The Elder has the Kishu clan backing him.

Don't you get it?

No, I don't.

And I don't want to!

The Owari-Yagyu should live for fencing alone.

We should never take part in the secret deals

that go on in this government.

Please reconsider!

Stand up, Kanbei!

I'll punish your weak side, for defying me.

Kanbei, are you afraid?

Take the wooden sword!

If you can break my guard, then I'll think about it.

I'll take you on.

Incompetent!

SHADOW WARRIORS III

What?

You're sure that lady-in-waiting is Ivliyuki?

Yes, I'm positive.

I see.

So it's true, she's after Kuze.

Hovv reckless.

If they uncover her identity, she's dead.

She's too bold for a woman.

I hope Ocho can make contact.

Chief, please look at this.

This is lead.

The roof tiles of the Yagyu mansion are made of lead.

Hovv clever of you, Yagyu Renyasai!

In times of war, they can turn them into bullets.

According to the report from Sasuke,

there are a lot of weapons and munitions in Nagoya.

Which means, the lady is right.

The Ovvari clan and Kishu clan are joining forces,

to start a vvar against the Shogunate in Edo.

The Lord of Ovvari meets with Kuze tomorrow.

Their plans will become clear then.

Kobue, what are you doing here in Nagoya?

It's not like you to eavesdrop.

Did the Lady tell you to see it through?

Ivliyuki...

Assist me.

Hurry!

Ohisa.

For my husband!

Prepare to die!

Guards!

I am Ivlakino Hyobu's wife, Ivliyuki.

Don't interfere in my revenge!

You're Ivlakinds wife?

My lord.

I see.

Didn't you once serve Lady Honri-in?

I don't blame you for hating me, as an enemy.

I'll make you tell me where Lady Honri-in is.

Throw her in a cell.

Yes, sir.

IVIiyuki?

We're here to rescue you. Be patient.

It's been a while, miss.

Go back and tell Hanzo...

to stay away from the Ovvari-Yagyu.

Or l'll kill him the ne>

Go now! Someone is coming.

TOKUGAVVA TSUNANOBU, LORD OF OVVARI

TCDKLJGAVVA TSLJNANCDBLJ, LCJRD CDI: CDVVARI Lord Kuze Yam ato,

Lord Kuze Yamato,

I've cleared the room as you wished.

Tell me your thoughts.

Thank you.

What do you want of me?

If I may humbly speak up.

Lord, this is your chance to overthrow the Shogun,

and rule the land.

What makes you say this, out of the blue?

My lord, this is the time to make your decision.

Are you saying that I have a good chance of success?

Precisely.

If the 610,000-koku Ovvari clan and the 550,00-koku Kishu clan

join hands, it can happen.

The non-hereditary lords upset with the Shogunate,

and many powerful small clans will also support us.

My lord, this is not the time to hesitate.

If you will give the order, l, Yagyu Renyasai will be your vanguard.

I promise my service will please you.

My lord!

Please leave everything to me!

I'll know nothing about it.

Do as you wish.

This is disturbing news.

My lord!

Please wait!

You're Kanbei, one of Yagyu's four best fencers.

What do you want?

My lord, please don't join in their conspiracy.

What good will it do to cause chaos and bloodshed?

Starting a vvar is dangerous folly.

Stop talking nonsense. I know nothing of this.

My lord, please wait. - Enough!

My lord!

Kanbei! Are you insane?!

My lord!

Traitor!

You're expelled!

You can die in jail.

SHADOW WARRIORS III

Our lord has given the order to overthrow the Shogunate.

It's time to show the true mettle of the Ovvari-Yagyu.

The Kishu clan have joined hands with the Ovvari clan.

Men, the Owari-Yagyu will soon be the

greatest fencing school in the nation.

My plan is working.

If we start Ovvari clan fighting a desperate battle

with the Shogunate, both sides will bear losses

and start to falter.

Then, Kishu clan will have the

forces to crush them both at a stroke.

Kishu will rise to power and rule Japan.

Indeed, sir.

Everyone, listen up.

Our opponents are the feared Ovvari-Yagyu.

It will be a desperate struggle to defeat them.

We'll fight, harder than ever.

All right, let's go.

Hovv admirable...

to stake your life on this vendetta.

I will stake my life for the Ovvari-Yagyu, too.

Ivliyuki, was it?

I'll get you out ofjail.

Will you lend me your sash?

Hey! Anybody out there?

This woman is calling you!

What is it?

What do you...

If you want to live, hand over the key.

Kill him!

Wretch!

Withdraw!

I don't wish to kill my own comrades.

Prepare to die!

Lord Kuze Yamato...

l, Yamanouchi Kanbei, shall take your life.

You lunatic!

Stop!

Lord Kuze Yamato.

Yagyu Renyasai.

I bear witness to your treasonous conspiracy!

You? lga ninja worm!

Enough of this nonsense!

Kill him!

IVIiyuki!

Hold on!

Please, take revenge.

Can you kill me, your master, with your skills?

If my father is my opponent, I Will kill him.

If the Buddha is my opponent, I Will kill him.

If my teacher is my opponent...

I'll kill him, too!

My body is steel...

My mind is empty...

Evil shall be destroyed!

Ivliyuki, take your revenge!

Ivliyuki.

Hanzo...

I've fulfilled my husband's wish...

Tarao Hanzo...

Challenge me.

And why are we fighting?

There is no conspiracy by the Ovvari-Yagyu.

There is only the madness of Yamanouchi Kanbei.

Please, go along with my madness.

I know nothing about an Owari-Yagyu conspiracy.

They are strictly devoted to their fencing.

Kanbefs wish was respected.

The Owari- Yagyu were known to be devoted to fencing,

for many years without dying out.

I promise, Ivliyuki...

that I will build a world where women won't...

end up so sadly, like you.

Oh Han, it feels so good.

Really?

Welcome. - ls Han here?

Wait a moment.

Okimi, it's all right.

I'm the owner here.

Please, call Han outside.

He can't come out during working hours.

He knows I'm coming. Please call him out.

I'll go and get him. - I'll go.

That hurts.

Just this time.

You have lovely skin.

Really?

Shall I wash down the front, too?

So sorry. I tripped.

Are you all right? - Sorry about that.

A pretty one's here to see you.

Pretty? Really?
