After he( shadow assassin) succeeds in taking Daimyo Tado's life, the woman who posed as the fortune-teller, a Kunoichi named Rinshi, appears and tries to kill Rikimaru, but fails thanks to the intervention of Tachibana Hyakubei, who was hired by Gohda.
After Lord Gohda's order, he(assassin shadow) heads back to the castle.
When he arrives however, he is attacked by the guards, who were ordered to consider him a traitor by Sekiya. who was actually Rinshi in disguise. Ayame and Kiku then flee the castle as the real Rikimaru arrives, and the two women head for a secret hideout suggested by Sekiya.
The Princess then reveals to be Rinshi in disguise and wounds Ayame, but Rikimaru arrives just in time to save her and kills Rinshi.
Gohda, noticing his castle in flames, realizes that it was all Sekiya's doing and orders he to get back there and eliminate him.
After he seemingly takes Sekiya's life and saves Kiku, Sekiya rises again and reveals himself to be Onikage, who then challenges he to a duel.
