In this short scene, we learn that the Ashina clan is planning to punish the two women who have protected them. They're planning to hang the women from the castle's observation tower and chain them to crucifixes outside the castle for three days. They also plan to blindfold the women and tie them up in a watchtower. The Ashinas' youngest son, Jyubei, tells them that they're missing the two hori women. He begs them to take him with them, but they refuse, saying that the man they've been looking for is the sworn enemy, Yagi, of the clan. They all rush off to the castle.
