He wants to use the sea as a passageway to get across the sea. He tells jingorou to keep a lookout for akeginum and the others. jinoh asks if he still feels that way. He says that even if he wanted to fight, he wouldn't be able to because he is blind for seven days and two nights. In five more days, he says, his vision will return and he will know that he is his true enemy. Tenzen says that .sama has already died and that there is no way he can marry a woman from the clan of the kouga ninjas.
