Description

Those Taken, Those Taken From While Iga managed to survive Koga's assault, many other ninja clans are attacked and destroyed. With Yumika's death, the Iga clan is left in turmoil as Ittoki officially succeeds her as the 19th head of the clan. With many Iga members clamoring to retaliate, Ittoki decides to wait until Yumika's funeral is complete. Ryoko and Kirei return to their villages, only for Ryoko to find her father having had his hand cut off by the Koga and Kirei barely escaping a Koga assassination attempt thanks to her father sacrificing himself. Shione passes information to Tokisada revealing the NSC is planning to make their move against Koga and that Kousetsu had a mind control chip implanted into her as a sleeper agent. Tokisada reveals he knew Kousetsu is actually one of Kidou's illegitimate children, but Yumika decided to adopt her anyways. He also tells Ittoki that Kousetsu resisted the mind control so she could not have killed Yumika, meaning there is still a traitor in Iga. Meanwhile, Suzaku attends Yumika's funeral and pays his respects while arguing Ittoki over the need for vengeance. Suzaku then returns to his home where he finds a recording left behind by his father, proving that Kidou murdered Kishinmaru as part of a plot to eliminate all ninjas in Japan. Ittoki then tells Yumika that he has decided he will lead the Iga in his own way, and asks Tokisada for his help.
