In the village offujieda, Oboro sama is still waiting for the return of the scroll. He tells his servant, Kagerou, that it is a shame that he and the iga have to fight. He says that the pins soaked in the poison that cause intense pain are 18 miles away from sunpu and that he hopes to reach them the next day. Oboro says that they must first get the scroll and cross the names off the list, so that they can claim the total victory. In order to do this, he says, they need to first draw up gennosuke, who is blind, and let him run free. He then says that he will lure her to the temple, where her screams will serve them well. He explains that under normal breath, she is not poisonous, but when she is aroused, her breath turns into poison. He is going to test this theory. He asks if he has gotten what he told him on the ship to miya, and he replies that he is the only man who can be her husband. He also says that tomorrow, they will arrive at the sunpu temple as husband-and-wife.
