Summary While shikibu kora is being fitted for new armor, gorone explains that he must move like a rhinoceros, wandering in a single direction. Suddenly, the ninjas detect that they have intruders, and hachisu goes to intercept them. She shoots two of them, but the third, a huge one-eyed man wrapped in torn bandages is not affected by her bullets and manages to corner her. Shikibu arrives and grabs him, but he has same strength abilities as shikibu and he forces shikibu and hachisu to fall into a rocky crevasse. In a flashback, shikibu is shown as a young boy, wrapped in bandages when he is told by a priest of his fate, to wander alone and have no friends. While hibiki leaves the village, carrying a new set of armor for shikibu, shikibu suffers in pain from his own unprotected body as it bursts off pieces of his remaining armor. Hachisu removes her clothes and wraps him to relieve the pain, reminding him that his job is to protect their leaders. Hibiki encounters the bandaged intruder, but he covers his eyes to protect himself from her ability. However, hachiro appears and catches the intruder unaware, piercing him with his sword before he again disappears. Hachisu and shikibu then emerge to find the wounded intruder, but this time shikibu uses all his strength to kill him.
