At the Ryouzanpaku dojo, Akisame saw that Apachai was hammering a doll on a tree, worried that Kenichi might be in danger again. Shigure explained to Akisame about that hammering nails into a doll on a tree a hundred times will make the spell work while Akisame tried to warn them of the consequences. The elder chased Apachai and Shigure away for nailing another of the elder's good pine trees.
