The Kouga come across Ogen's hawk carrying a scroll, and Saemon and Kagerou manage to make the bird drop it. Meanwhile Gennosuke and Hyouma encounter Tenzen, and Gennosuke tries to convince him to put aside their differences until he can talk to the retired shogun. Tenzen refuses, and overconfident at facing the two apparently blind men, Tenzen attacks them, not realizing that Hyouma also possesses the Dōjutsu and he opens his eyes and forces Tenzen to kill himself. At Chiryu on the Tokaido Road, Akeginu washes Oboro as she tries to remove the experience of being violated by Tenzen. Meanwhile, Koshirou wanders in the night, left behind by Tenzen, and eventually catches up with the three Kouga; Gennosuke, Kagerou and Hyouma. (Source: Wikipedia)
