In this chapter, we learn that jousukeudono and kouga fell into the trap set up by the iga, and that they have been killed. The iga are now able to track down and kill all of the remaining members of the clan, and they will be able to use them as leverage against the ogens. They are also able to trap and kill the remaining shobogen, who has gone to sunpu with danjou, and who has passed a scroll similar to the one on which the jousses are hiding. . They also learn that the carriage belongs to jimushi, a member of the same clan as ogen. They have some questions for him, and he is not getting away. They want to know where he is and what he is doing here. They know that ogen has not returned from Sunpu, so they need to find him immediately. They ask rousai to go ahead and find shologen, who is also on the scroll, and kill him while he is still alive. They do not want to let him go because they are worried about ogen, but they also want to find out how the ten ninjas of the kumadani sect use their techniques. They need to know how they can track down jimus, and what they can do to him if he does not come back with them.
