Edo city is novv crammed with masterless samurai

and tramps from other provinces.

Of course, this doesn't threaten the secure

government under Tokugawa lemitsu.

IVIATSUDAIRA IZO-NO-KAIVII NOBUTSUNA CHIEF OF THE COUNCIL OF ELDERS

But putting this aside, the conduct of these

rogues in our Shogurfs ovvn city...

may result in disgracirmg his leadership.

Chief Elder Matsudairds orders!

Expel all the masterless samurai and tramps

from Edo...

from this moment on.

Whether 0r not these retainers, especially of extinct lords...

are novv making trouble...

should be thoroughly checked.

Those who actively oppose your investigation

0r attempt t0 run away...

should be killed on the spot!

Now, the following places need a strict masterless samurai hunt...

Hovv foolish of them...

Run!

Chief...

HATTORI HANZO

His Excellency is dead!

It's the end of the world.

His Excellency is dead!

It's the end of the world.

SHOGUN TOKUGAWA IEIVIITSU DIED IN FEBRUARY, 1651

Chief! Something is going on.

Lords were summoned to Edo castle.

What?

They are rushing to the castle.

Sounds interesting.

Our chance has come at last.

Daimyo mansions will be short of guards.

All right. Lefs g0!

Intruders!

Look here!

Blame your extravagant life!

Be quiet!

Ivv0n't kill you.

Mortuary tablet!

Mortuary tablet!

Hey! You, sir.

Hovv about...

...vvearing this for once in your life?

Everybody tightens their purse strings.

Times are indeed bad.

Constables!

Constables are coming!

They are here!

Gather here, merchants!

I want all merchants over here quickly.

Are you a merchant?

We will confiscate all the goods here.

Oh, no, please!

Enough!

Excuse me, sir.

What is it?

Thanks. Patrol this area.

Idiot!

You fool!

Are you selling stolen goods?

N0, sir!

I'm only making a honest living.

Shut up!

LORD IVIITO, DEPUTY SHOGUN

HOSHINA IVIASAYUKI, LORD OF AIZU. IEIVIITSUS YOUNGER BROTHER

Did you wish to see me, sir?

Lord Aizu...

Ivvould like to knovv hovv you are planning to

conduct government affairs.

What do you mean, sir?

Novv that Iemitsu is dead...

you are his younger brother and...

an advisor to his son and the heir to the Shogun.

You are the key man novv.

Where is Lord Matsudaira?

Why didn't he attend the council at this critical moment?

Lord Hotta has just submitted his resignation t0 the Council.

Please allow me t0 follow the late Shogun t0 the grave.

Thank you for everything. Farewell, gentlemen.

AT 1O AIVI, LORD HOTTA FOLLOWS THE LATE SHOGUN TO THE GRAVE.

SHORTLY THEREAFTER, LORD ABE ALSO COIVIIVIITS SUICIDE.

I hear that Lord Hotta and Lord Abe followed the late

Shogun to the grave.

Isee.

You may g0.

D0n't let anyone enter this room.

Understood.

Those who burglarize the lords' residences and

cause a public nuisance...

are Iga ninja, after all.

Lord Naito!

Ivvill behead you in a memorial service to be held for the...

masterless samurai you l1ave killed.

Wait!

I knovv you are Hattori Hanzo.

Hanzo, Ivvould like you to meet a certain person.

Who is it?

You will see.

Come to Ryotokuji Temple at 1O tomorrow morning!

Come in.

Are you Hattori Hanzo?

Show me your face!

Behave yourself, Hanzo!

This is Lord Izu Matsudaira!

Lord Izu?

Anything wrong, Hanzo?

You are looking at me as if you l1ave seen a

ghost 0r something.

You are alive.

Yes, I am alive.

But I am only existing like a living corpse.

I must use an artifice which will make me come back

to real power.

Won't you give me a hand, Hanzo?

You will get whatever you name in return.

Either money 0r a position.

Or both.

I will give you what you would never be able to get...

in a lifetime the way you are.

Whafs my job?

Lord Aizu.

Kill him?

Whafs your answer?

The answer is no.

What?

I don't trust Shogunate people like you.

Watch you tongue, Hanzo!

Shut up!

Hovv did you treat the last Hattori Hanzo?

You threw him away like a rag after using him up.

We, Iga ninja, are not idiots who have forgotten

their grudge against you.

Isee.

But Hanzo...

I have already told you about such a serious matter.

D0 you think you will be able to leave here safely?

Sure...

Ivvill manage to get out of here without any harm.

Rir1-Py0-T0h-Sha...

KaiJirrRestuZaFZen.

Rin-Ry0-T0h-Sha-Kai-Jin-Retsu-Zai...

After persuading Hanzo...

Ivvas planning t0 g0 ahead with the help of both the

Koga and Iga rminja.

But you are my only reliable support novv.

We l1ave got to kill Hanzo first.

Hovv did it go, Chief?

Lord Izu is alive.

But word is out that he is dead.

And there was a monster there.

Monster?

He is all black from head to toe.

He may be 120's tool, but I wonder who he is.

Be quiet 0r you will be killed.

Who are you?

My name is Upper Hanzo. Remember that.

Young Lord is only eleven years old.

There might appear men who want to control him.

Then political turmoil vvill come next.

So don't rest on your position, even if you earned it easily.

What are you after?

I came to sell my skills to you.

What do you want?

The reinstatement of the Hattori family.

If I refuse...

will you g0 t0 the others with my head?

The vvise man knows hovv to wait for a chance and select his master.

S0 Ivvill leave you tonight.

The time will come when you will need me badly.

Just keep your eyes open.

D0n't tell me what to do.

Ivvill see you again.

Long time no see, Upper Hanzo.

It's you, Lower Hanzo.

Where are you? Come out.

Just keep walking.

Walk straight ahead.

D0n't be arrogant.

Whafs your business in a sarnuraFs mansion?

Offering my services.

Hovv foolish!

Are you still engaged in burglary?

S0 what?

Ivvill steal vvlmateverl can from the Shogunate.

You think small.

What?

Novv is the time of political disturbances.

Why not seize the whole country?

The whole country?

I gather Lord Aizu is our trump card.

If vve assist l1im, in holding the reins of the Shogunate...

vve will be able to rule over the land.

Lord Aizu is also a Shogunate man.

I can't trust him.

You haven't forgotten hovv the Shogunate treated

OUI' PFEdECESSOI'...

Have you?

You mean our father?

That's right.

Despite his services, the Shogunate was harsh to him...

and caused him to die.

Both of our houses risked themselves for the Shogunate

as spearheads.

And many died in their struggles for the Shogunate.

But once peace reigned over the land...

they vvere neglected for they knevv too much.

And finally...

That's enough!

Listen, Hanzo!

Never forget this lwmiliation.

I will protest t0 the Shogunate against this injustice,

with my death.

You must live and dedicate your life...

t0 the prosperity of the Hattori with Lower Hanzo.

Hanzo! You haven't killed anyone yet.

Kill me novv and inherit all of the Iga ninja's fighting spirit.

Father!

Father!

Behead me, Hanzo!

Bring my head to the Hanzo Gate and display it!

Hang it high on the Hanzo Gate.

D0n't hesitate!

Behead me quickly, Hanzo!

D0 it novv!

Father!

D0 a good job, Hanzo!

I have never forgotten my father even for a moment.

Ivvill avenge myself on them in my ovvn way.

The best way is t0 pair up with someone in the Shogunate.

But you might parallel our predecessor.

Iam different from him and I am sure Ivvill succeed.

Won't you lend a hand?

I'm content to be a thief.

Ivvill g0 my ovvn way.

Suit yourself.

Hey, won't you come to my place?

Kohagi will be happy to see you.

Some other time.

I l1ave got something to do.

Ialso l1ave many followers with the same aim in life.

Earn five ryo per head today.

Ivvill make 1O ryo...

Have a nice day.

We are off!

Whafs wrong, Koroku?

They are all gone.

Why are you still here?

G0 quickly, Koroku!

Whafs the idea?

Dorft!

Stop it. Please!

Koroku, no! Please!

Stop it!

You fool! Stop it!

Stop it, Koroku! Please!

Please!

Whafs wrong?

Tell me what is wrong.

Ivvet my pants!

N0! Stop it!

What did you do to Kohagi?

Nothing, Chief!

Brother, stop it!

Forgive me, Chief.

D0n't hurt him.

Brother!

Sorry.

You idiot!

Are you all right, Kohagi?

You fool!

It's time t0 think about your future.

Right, Kohagi?!

You can't stay with us any longer.

I met Upper Hanzo last mght.

You had better g0 to his place.

You like l1im, don't you?

What on earth have you been doing?!

The tramps in Edo just keep growing in number!

Why can't you control them?!

If this job is too tough for you, hand in your resignation!

But we are in mourning for Tokugawa lemitsu.

And Lord Aizu has forbidden any needless killing.

Shut up!

Disregard the orders!

Just do exactly as Itell you!

Who is that black monster who works for Izu?

Nothing to say yet?

Ivvill fix you so you never say another vvord.

Whafs wrong?

What are you doing here?

Hey, what are you doing here?

Look! He is trying to speak!

Did you hear that? He is Lord Naito!

He must be out of his mind.

Move away!

Unfasterm the fetters!

We shouldn't l1ave done that, Chief.

The cops are making a frantic search for the culprit.

Chief!

He is right.

We had better leave Edo novv.

D0n't talk such nonsense!

We will be arrested soon.

Tens of thousands of people live in this town.

That's why vve are safe here.

That's right.

We are safe as long as vve slip in among the crowds.

Id0n't mind moving out if you feel uneasy here.

Open the window, Koroku.

I have been unhappy with that a long time.

The sight of the castle cuts me t0 the quick.

Lefs move out!

We are moving out, Koroku.

G0 to Upper Hanzds.

Brother!

Okay?

G0 to Upper Hanzo!

G0 on!

Kohagi!

Who sent you here?

My brother told me to look after you.

What a man!

Can I stay?

Look Kohagi...

This isn't a place for a woman.

300,000 ryo is an exorbitant sum of money.

Even leading Edo merchants like us cannot raise the money easily.

You must do it.

Hovv long do I have?

Within three days.

That's impossible!

D0 you want to see lmrdheaded Lord Aizu come to power?

He will issue a regulation on debt cancellation once he comes to power.

Under the regulation, people will be entitled t0 cancel their debts.

He's even planning t0 restrict the prices of rice, salt and lumber.

But, if I come back to power, there will be no problems for you.

I don't think the 300,000 ryo is too much for that.

All right, Sir.

What are you planning t0 do with the 300,000 ryo?

Hovv you are going to contribute the money is vvritten here.

100,000 ryo to Lord Mito.

30,000 ryo to Lord Kishu and Lord Ovvari respectively.

25,000 ryo to Lord Sakai.

25,000 ryo to Lord Ii.

25,000 ryo to Lord Izu Matsudaira.

Eat it up!

25,000 ryo to Lord Iga Naito.

20,000 to Lord Abe.

20,000 to Lord Nagai.

Is that all?

We will manage it.

Is the chief in?

He is upstairs.

Where do vve g0 next?

Wealthy merchants will deliver their money t0 some lords for Izu.

S0 we will steal it.

That sounds interesting.

But this job won't be easy as our previous jobs were.

What do you mean?

I met the monster at Izu's mansion again.

Is he a Koga Ninja?

Yeah, his gang will be on the alert in armticipatiorm

of our attack.

We will have to beat them for Iga's honor.

Fight to the death.

Come up, everybody.

You idiot! These are the deputy Shogurfs goods!

Get away!

It was a trap!

Put out the fire!

Chief, this is hopeless.

Therés no chance against them.

Shishido!

Ready!

Here we g0!

Daigg!

Rir1-Py0-T0h-Sha-Kai-Jin-Retsu-Zai-Zer1.

Attack their left.

Chief!

Yamahachi!

OTAKIIVIURA, CHICHIBU PROVINCE

Hovv can I pray for you?

Pray for the l1ealtl1 of the nevv Shogun.

Because the young lord is susceptible to sickness.

Certainly, Madam.

Chief, Kohagfs back.

Kohagi?

Kohagi.

Whats the matter?

Tell me what lmppened!

Now, tell me!

Kohagi!

Whafs all this about, Upper Hanzo?

I brought her back to you.

Whafs wrong with my sister?

Brother!

Stay away!

Hanzo, listen to me.

Now, listen!

Stop it!

Chief, stop fighting!

Novv stop it!

We l1ave no time for a family fight!

D0n't talk so big.

Brother!

I married her off to you.

Take her back to your place.

Now, listen to me!

N0!

Hanzo!

Hovv can I live in peace with her when you are in trouble?

You badly need every hand you can get.

Is the Koga the enemy?

Their chief is Koga Shirobei.

He is a monster.

Koga Shirobei...

Ivvill kill him.

It's no time for you to g0 on being a loner.

He will track the Iga rminja until he exterminates them.

Ivvill stand up to him.

I rmeed your help.

In order to hold power under Aizu

we l1ave to kill Izu and Shirobei by any means.

I'm not interested in holding power.

But I will do anything in the world to kill them.

Thank you, Hanzo.

Whafs Izu's next move?

He will kill Lord Aizu and Lord Nagai, his roadblocks.

Sorry to l1ave misunderstood you.

Kohagi!

TOKUGAWA IETSUNA TOKUGAWA IEIVIITSUS HEIR

I'm Nagai Shinarmo, a nevv member of the Council of Elders.

It is a great honor and privilege t0 accept the appointment.

I'm prepared to sacrifice my life...

for the successful completion of your inaugural ceremony as Shogun.

Your Excellency...

Shinarmo, thank you.

Lord Nagai...

I am Jokai, I pray for the young lord,

to protect him from evil.

There is only one month left till his inaugural ceremony as Shogun.

In order for him to complete it successfully in the presence of the envoy.

Ivvould like to propose that he visit Nikko.

Would you please consider it?

Visit Nikko?

Yes. Before his inaugural ceremony, the late Tokugawa lemitsu

went there t0 report it t0 Tokugawa leyasu's grave.

That's why he became such a distinguished Shogun.

His mother vvas greatly impressed by his homage...

Lord Nagai, don't let Lord Aizu attend the Council tomorrow.

Tomorrow's Council, tomorrow's Council...

Kill him who would become a great obstacle to the Shogunate.

Kill him.

Lefs talk over dinner.

Help yourselves.

In starting the nevv government...

Ivvould like to enforce strict official discipline.

Under the late Tokugawa lemitsu, there were some...

who tried to enrich themselves by taking advantage of his favor

and their position.

So at tomorrow's Council...

Shinano?

Lord Nagai, don't let Lord Aizu attend tomorrow's Council.

Tomorrow's Council, tomorrow's Council...

Kill him who would become a great obstacle to the Shogunate.

Kill him.

Lord Nagai, what is wrong?!

Wretch!

Are you out of your mind, Lord Nagai?!

Shinarmo, cairn down!

My Lord! Please cairn down!

MY Lord!

Cairn down!

Just keep quiet!

Keep this incident a secret!

Shinarmo died of a sudden illness. Cover it in this way.

Understood?

MY Lord!

Who is there?

You vvere trapped, weren't you?

What do you mean?

Lord Nagai didn't g0 mad.

It's an enemy trap t0 discredit you and Lord Nagai

at the same time.

Who are you?

But Nagai couldn't l1ave doublewrossed me.

Right.

But if there is a monster who can drive him mad?

Who can it be?

Koga Shirobei.

A Koga mnja?

He must have cast a strange spell over Lord Nagai.

Koga Shirobei has some technique through

which he can control anothefis mind.

Was Nagai controlled by him?

And the one who controls Shirobei is Lord Matsudaira.

Look...

Lord Matsudaira followed the late Shogun t0 the grave.

He is still alive.

And eagerly awaiting a chance to return to power.

Come on in!

I saw him alive.

Who is this?

Hattori Hanzo.

Hanzo?

And you are?

I'm also Hattori Hanzo.

What?

The Iga rminja l1ave Upper and Lower Hattori.

I belong to the Upper Hattori.

He is from the Lower Hattori.

The Upper lives like a shadow, and the lower lives like grass.

The Upper lives with noirninja under an alias.

The Lower rides the tide and appears if he is needed.

Isee.

Ivvill hire both.

What do you want?

The reinstatement of the Hattori.

As Shogurfs agents?

N0. As direct retainers of the Shogun.

The first Hattori Hanzo was entitled t0 receive 5,000 koku

as a direct retainer of Tokugawa leyasu.

Cut it out!

But the second Hanzo was demoted t0 the Shogurfs agent.

And rny father was ordered under confinement for knowing too much.

He committed suicide in anger.

Novv the Hattori family is all in needy circumstances

without social status.

I will certainly grant your wish.

What about the other Hanzo? What do you want?

Tell me your wish.

Id0n't know.

I'm a casual sort of person.

I will think about it after I kill Koga Shirobei.

Lefs g0!

Here comes Lord Matsudaira.

Lord Aizu, I l1ave just heard that

Lord Nagai passed away recently.

He was your righthand man.

I'm terribly sorry.

Whats the matter?

You look so pale.

In fact, I'm shocked.

I thought you, Lord Kaga, and Lord Tsushima...

followed the late Shogun t0 the grave.

Who told you that?

Since the Shogun has passed away, everyone is acting strangely.

S0 you came, Izu.

Lord Mito, I haven't seen you for quite a while.

I'm glad you are in good health.

Lord Aizu...

I l1ave something Ivvant to talk to you about.

Listen to me carefully.

In fact, I called Matsudaira who was in mourning.

May I ask why?

I'm averse to the idea of following 0ne's lord to the grave.

Id0n't believe in sacrificing a capable

man for the sake of a cruel custom.

Nagai Shinarmo passed away suddenly.

It's high time Matsudaira revived the position.

He will be of help to you.

I beg your pardon, sir.

I'm afraid I can't believe that Lord Mito said that.

Zusho, silence!

But, my lord!

We are different from those court nobles and

merchants in Kyoto.

We need t0 reiterate the honored samurai spirit.

But if you ignore the samurai spirit you will degrade the nevv Shogun

and shake the Shogunate to its foundations.

Who is this?

Aoyama Zusho.

He was appointed as a valet to our young lord.

Zusho, your story makes sense.

But, you are chained to an 0ld-time custom.

It's our duty t0 serve the nevv Shogun after

his father passed away.

We must be loyal to the nevv Shogun as his predecessor.

Serve the Tokugawa family.

That's the sincerest vvay of the samurai.

That's nonsense!

Zusho, behave yourself!

Damn Aizu...

He has guessed what happened to Nagai and challenged us.

Shirobei...

We must take the next step.

Are you ready'

The young lord will g0 to visit the Nikko Shrine soon.

THE NIKKO ROAD

Make way for the procession...

IIVIACHI INN, NIKKO ROAD

Sir Yata!

Ivvas to wake up the young lord when Ifound

his mother and the housemaid vvere like this...

and the young lord was gone.

Zusho!

We were framed.

Matsudaira did this.

We must find him before the Imperial envoy comes.

Koga Shirobei did it.

He plotted all this knowing the young lord would stay here.

Where is the young lord?

I l1ave no idea.

Where is Koga Shirobei?

Ivvish I knew.

Please, you are our only hope.

Get the young lord back.

Lord Hoshina is counting on you.

Someone used sleeping incense and guided Shirobei.

There was a spy around our young lord.

What do you want?

Kohagi!

I brought her as I promised.

Let me take responsibility for her.

Good! I'm glad you l1ave decided.

N0. I need her help.

The young lord was kidnapped.

What?

Ithirmk Koga Shirobei did it on Matsudairds order.

I have no evidence yet.

But, someone guided him from the inside...

To find out...

You need Kohagi in the castle.

It's vitally important t0 get the young lord back.

I refuse!

Is Kohagi just a tool to feed your ambition?

We can't help you.

I'm not interested in rising t0 the top like you.

We will kill Shirobei and Matsudaira never the less.

Hanzo.

Wham

Brother!

Ivvill g0.

You may be killed!

I'm aware of that.

Kohagi is your wife anyway.

D0 what you like!

Brother!

Have you been well, Father?

Young lord...

Where is my young lord?

Reverend Jokai has arrived, my lady.

My lady!

Leave her to me.

When the young lord is found, she will be fine.

Ivvill pray for her first.

I understand it is urgent.

Lord Aizu...

Is it true that the young lord disappeared on his way to Nikko?

It is true.

Someone kidnapped him.

Lord Aizu!

Why did you hide such an important crime?

If something happens to mm...

I was worried that this news could panic the people.

We are searching for him secretly.

D0 you have any clue as to where he could be?

N0, not yet.

Sir Hoshina, you are at fault for this gross blunder.

Take responsibility.

Kohagi!

Kohagi!

Kohagi!

Kohagi...

Chief!

Rir1-Py0-T0h-Sha...

KaiJirrRetsuZaFZen.

Chief!

Koroku!

Koroku!

S0, you are a Koga mnja?

You killed my sister.

You are Koga Shirobefs daughter, Chisato, aren't you?

Where's the young lord?

You scum!

KOHAGI

A Iga rminja attacked you...

Was it Hanzo?

You gave your body to him!

Kill yourself.

Slit your belly and...

die with your enemy's child.

You have tried to overthrow the government.

You kidnapped the young lord.

The maids told me you did it.

Confess your guilt!

Where did you hide the young lord?

Confess!

It was a set up.

I knovv what you want.

You want to make me a scapegoat for your crime.

You have committed a fraud against the public.

You are a traitor who would do anything for your ambition!

Hold your tongue!

You must be destroyed by someone who cares about...

his country!

Silence, Zusho!

Wait, Matsudaira!

Kill him!

Wait, Matsudaira...

You will be judged before the lord...

and sent to Hell for sure!

"Lord Hoshina Masayuki...

"you are incapable of assuming your duty.

"Therefore, you are to be released from that duty. "

Shirobei?

I hid the young lord in the castle.

You moved him to the castle?

D0n't vvorry, sir.

It's the most isolated part.

People are afraid to g0 there and there are no guards.

It's the best place t0 hide him.

But, Shirobei...

hovv are vve going to reveal the young lord?

I'm worried that someone will expose our plan.

We Koga rminja have devoted our lives to you, my lord.

D0n't lose your courage novv.

Therés rmthing to vvorry about.

All vve have to do is proceed as vve planned.

If you can't do it...

leave the matter of the young lord t0 me.

Chief!

Here comes Shirobei.

Shirobei!

Hold on!

Chiefn

Get back.

I'm glad the two Hanzo are here.

Shut up, villain!

I'm Lord Matsudairds man.

Whafs wrong with that?

He will be rmumber one soon.

The outcome is clear.

It makes no sense for the Koga and Iga r1injat0 kill one another.

Why don't you make a pact with us?

What do you want?

I will get many treasures when Matsudaira comes into power.

Ivvill give you seventy percent of it all,

if you withdraw from this right novv.

It's too late.

I refuse.

We Iga rminja l1ave our ovvn pride.

You fool...

As a ninja, I only tried to save your life.

Shirobei, where is the young lord?

You insist on reaching him?

G0 ahead and try to if you can.

He's in the castle turret.

The castle turret?

Stop it!

Shirobei tricked us.

He performed a clever trick by hiding him in the castle.

Chief, what will we do?

Since Shirobei told us about the turret...

there must be many, many traps.

We must be very careful.

But vve must rescue him at any cost.

There must be a way.

All right!

I don't knovv hovv this will turn out...

but vve will do our very best.

Our best?

We will break the turret if worse comes to worse.

What?

If vve can't really beat them...

vve will destroy the turret.

That is vvar.

Our enemy, the young lord, and all of us...

will die.

Senior, just remember this.

What vve are risking our lives for is notjust one boy.

We will plunder the young Tokugawa lord...

and vve will blackmail Matsudaira and his l0vv-life creatures.

Ippeu

Tsukumo, you g0 first with Tochimaru.

Hide in the turret and prepare t0 destroy it.

We have only five days before the imperial envoy comes.

D0n't make any mistakes.

We can't afford it.

Certainly.

Senior, you got it?

MARCH THE 18TH

MARCH THE 19TH, THE NEXT DAY

Not yep

That's a tough turret.

It isn't that easy.

God! I l1ave a toothache.

We can't wait any longer.

Wait a little while.

If vve don't hear from them, vve will g0.

Chief!

Mimisuke!

Chief!

Did you do it?

Lefs g0!

Cairn down!

Make sure everything is ready.

We will leave here one after the other, quietly...

and vve will meet in Myojin woods in half an hour.

Who's there?

Chief!

Are you Koga Shirobefs daughter?

Die!

Let me kill her!

Chief!

What brings you here?

Why did you spare my life?

I am the one who killed Kohagi.

You would l1ave to do it anyway if you were ordered to do so

as a rminja must.

You are carrying my child.

Ivvill never bear it.

Iga 0r Koga, the child is innocent!

You are my wife.

Ivvouldrft lie to you in the name of our child.

I can't return to the Koga any more.

You are planning to kill yourself, aren't you?

D0n't g0 t0 the turret, please.

You will never come back alive.

I don't want to die alone.

Wait!

If you and I die, there will be no one to carry on.

You must survive by all means.

I pray I will see you again!

Chief!

I will leave the rest to you.

Chief!

Koga Shirobei?

You are a tough Iga rminja.

You made it this far.

Give us the young lord.

Take him if you can.

Destroy the turret! Bring it down!

Destroy the turret!

D0n't be in such a hurry.

Destroy it!

Senior!

Hit it!

My world spins on even as you kill me.

S0 long as Matsudaira Izu-n0-Kami holds the reins of power...

you will remain in total darkness.

Senior!

Forget about me!

Save the young lord!

Young lord...

The Imperial envoy and his party will arrive soon.

I understand... It's time to g0.

The young lord has arrived!

The young lord has arrived!

The young lord has arrived!

Intruder!

Get him!

Lord Matsudaira!

Lord Matsudaira!

Lord Matsudaira!
