Tonbei returns with his group to the temple to rescue Shintarō and Kaori but realises something is amiss when he sees the carrier Kitobō was in. He returns to the Iga meeting place and prepares for the Fūma attack. Kotarō uses Kaori as bait to lure Shintarō into the temple while the Fūma go to the Iga Ninja Mansion to take the Wind Thunder mirror. Shintarō manages to kill the Fūma ninja holding Kaori in the temple and goes to the Iga Ninja Mansion where he takes on Kotarō in a duel. Both are slightly wounded.
