Saiga is seen in a mountainous area as two warriors approach him. They report that their hideout was attack by the Kuremisago traditonalists but luckily the women and children were able to escape. Saiga is surprised that the fighting is still going on despite both sides being constantly attacked. The two warriors express their confidence that they will win in the end as they have Senzui (the strongest in the Kuremisago) and Saiga from the Fūrinji clan on their side, and they swear their lives to Saiga. Suddenly Saiga kills the two warriors with a thrust through their throats as he states that he holds the men to their word.
