Namenba infiltrates edo castle to speak to the shogun. She is intercepted by the iga kurokuwa, but although she kills them all, she suspects someone helped her. She dribbles a truth potion in the sleeping shogun's mouth and questions him. She finds that he knows nothing about joujin who appears to be acting without the shogun's authority. As she escapes, she encounters hadaebou who was her mysterious ally. At jison'in village the ninja girls discuss the dark moving castle or houren ( imperial carriage) which hibiki believes is transporting the joujinshuu. In takasaki castle, tadanaga tells hachiro about his encounter with joujin 6 years ago and the power he displayed. Tadanaga says joujin tricked him into killing the monkeys at sengen shrine and then built the murakumo with money he gave to joujin to build an imperial carriage in his mother's memory. He asks hachiro to destroy the murakumo and the joujinshuu inside, however hachiro refuses, not wanting the ninjas again to be pawns in a tokugawa power struggle. Angry, tadanaga calls on his samurai waiting outside to kill hachiro. They enter wearing eye-shades, but shaizou allows hachiro to focus his dojutsu technique through his moving eyes, forcing them to kill each other. Hachiro then leaves, but tadanaga orders him to be followed and killed.
