Masamori Sumimura looks on in shock as Ichirou Ougi creates a huge tornado around himself to demonstrate the difference in their power. Masamori notices that sea water is being pulled into the tornado, effectively draining the area. He tries to run, but even that proves difficult due to the land being drawn toward the tornado. Masamori finally creates an elongated Kekkai to help him escape and buy some time. He recalls his conversation with Okuni, where she cautioned him that Ichirou was a formidable opponent, and that it was best to resolve the matter with words. She encouraged him to wait until she brought evidence of Ichirou's crimes, but Masamori refused, insisting on handling things himself.
