Leonardo's daimyō betrays his vassal by stealing a pair of katana Kubira had given them, framing the turtle for their theft, and banishing him from the village, threatening to kill the turtle's wife and daughter Yumi if he should ever return. The daimyō then sends the masked Yumi to assassinate him, but when confronted with the turtle, Yumi disobeys her orders and refuses to kill her father. Leo instructs Yumi to sneak back into the village and spirit her mother to safety.
