Outskirts of Kyoto.
At the foot of a densely wooded barren mountain.
A car stopped, the door opened, and Takeda threw Fujishisho and Matsubara Nitta, whose acupoints had been sealed, into the wild grass at the foot of the mountain, saying: "You two enjoy the natural scenery here."
Fujishisho and Matsubara Nitta glared angrily and opened their mouths to curse, but their mute acupoints were sealed, so no sound came out.
Takeda ignored the two, saying to the driver: "Let's go back."
Takeda got into the car, and it left as the engine started.
Shortly after Takeda's car departed, a gust of wind blew through the trees on the barren mountain, rustling leaves that fell onto the clothes of Fujishisho and Matsubara Nitta.
At that moment, the two saw a masked person in black clothing slowly descend with the falling leaves from the trees.
The broad black clothing fluttered like a flying bat descending from the sky.
The masked person landed in front of Fujishisho and Matsubara Nitta.
