2004, Competition
Three years pass, during which time Munezos mother dies and Samon marries Munezos sister. Kie marries the son of the wealthy Iseya family of merchants and Munezo firmly believes that she has found happiness. But then Munezo meets her one cold winters day and is shocked to observe how thin and dejected she looks. The sadness of her expression cuts him to the quick.
A few months later, Munezo takes part in some artillery training. When he hears that Kie has fallen seriously ill he rushes to her bedside at once. Furious to discover that the sick Kie has been relegated to a bed in a lowly storage cupboard, he indignantly orders her husband to begin divorce proceedings and takes the ailing Kie home to his own house. This is the beginning of a period of great contentment in Munezos life until a plan to overthrow the clan leader in Edo comes to light. Yaichiro, who appears to have been one of the clan members involved in the conspiracy, is being held captive in a tiny hut in the mountains. He manages to break free and, taking a hostage with him, barricades himself into a farmhouse. Of all people, Munezo is given the assignment to kill Yaichiro
