Hotarubi meanwhile leg is hurt and she tries to cross a log in order to make it across but instead she slips and falls off. I guess he is thinking of how different she can seem to be when thinking about her man and when she can be on the warpath and really mad. Focus back now to Zaemon as he is going after Hotarubi, he hits the butterflies with a knife and finds out that he has been tricked, and he thinks of when she thought he was Yashamaru when she cried and went into his arms, and also the time when she got mad at him for finding out that Yashamaru was killed by him and Gyobu. Oboro then cries as we come back from flashback mode and the Iga hear hear her cry and just look sad at what is happening to their leader.

She gets all happy and they look as the seasons start to change from winter to spring. Gennosuke then looks into Oboro's eyes and says that when he looks into her eyes it makes him glad they met. She says to Gennosuke that she wants to know if has made his mind and that if he wants her as a wife and just for him to say that to her. Focus now to Oboro as she is having a flashback to when her and Gennosuke were talking about their future. Jingoro makes a comment that he should of killed Gennosuke when he had the chance but Oboro wouldn't let him. They wonder if Hotarubi and Nenki have found where the Kouga are hiding, and Tenzen just hopes that they don't get into trouble.

Oboro, and the remaining Iga members are at a house just trying to stay warm as the rain is making it rather cold. She thinks about when Zaemon said that she is disgusting and she tends to her wound and goes after Zaemon. Though Hotarubi is not there as she is hiding on the roof. Hotarubi butterflies then go away and Zaemon goes after them. Zaemon says that he can take Hotarubi herself and that for Kagero to go look after Gennosuke. They are still chasing her and Zaemon throws a knife at her and it wounds her.

As we last left off, Zaemon and Kagero chased after Hotarubi.
