The old man isn't here?
What's this mess?
It looks like someone's been here.
Maybe he was kidnapped?
No way!
Yukimura-sama?!
Without us even noticing...
That means it must've been done by someone skilled.
Come to think of it, has anyone seen Rokurou this morning?
No.
Nope.
I'm not interested in him.
Even Rokurou is gone... This isn't normal.
Yukimura-sama wasn't kidnapped.
He left at dawn.
He also left this letter for you to read.
A letter?
Good morning, brave ones.
I felt like going on a trip when I saw the morning glow,
so I've decided to go to a hot spring.
By the way, it's meant as a friendly get-together,
so I'm inviting you to come over to "my" place.
I made a map so you can get here rather quick.
Rokurou and I went ahead.
Let's meet at the Nekumuri village.
From Yukimura.
Oh, a hot spring!
Hot spring!
A hot spring?!
Ah, he's with Rokurou.
So this mess means...
He turned his room upside down and left like that.
Really... What is he thinking?

THE SIXTH
RUMBLING
IN THE
MOUNTAINS
The moment they heard about going to a hot spring,
they all fled somewhere.
Even Isanami... Where did she go to?!
So good!
You sure have a good appetite, Ojou-chan.
Besides, she's far too relaxed.
If an assassin showed up-
What are you doing, Kakei-san?
That guy has such brute strength!
That guy?
The guy leaving the restaurant without paying!
When I warned him, he went nuts.
You're wrong!
I'm only serving the Buddha as a humble servant!
Thus my actions are that of the Buddha!
Gladly giving food and drink to someone who serves the Buddha is only natural!
What are you saying?!
You're just eating for free!
By serving the Gods, I'm using energy and so I get hungry!
You don't think it's normal to get food?!
Huh?
You stupid?
Hurry up and pay already!
I don't have any!
He's saying it with a straight face.
You're the one who's shameless!
You've been eating for free all over the place, big guy?
You rogue!
I'm not a rogue!
I'm on a sacred journey.
Behold!

It's all for your self-interest, eh.
My name is Miyoshi Seikai Nyuudou.
I'm travelling around the various regions and searching for my long lost little sister!
Your little sister must be a monster then.
She isn't here; go look somewhere else.
I see.
He's obedient.
Wait up!
I can't let a hoodlum like you get away with this!
Kakei-san, things will get really complex, so...
You have to pay for the food and the things you broke.
You pay for it.
Besides, it wouldn't have turned out like this if you didn't break that wall when you flew through it.
What did you say?!
You're too weak.
There's a limit to how rude one can be!
Kakei-san!
I'll show you whether I'm weak or not!
Leave him alone, you idiot.
Are you going to stay silent when you're being made a fool of?
I'll return his brains to the right place!
This'll serve you right for pointing a gun at the Buddha!
Who are you calling a Buddha?!
S-Saya!
He bent the gun with his bare hands.
I mean... you named your gun?!
Kakei-san...
Watch out!
Heaven's Punishment!
You're overdoing it, you damned Buddhist priest!
Obediently receive the punishment of the Gods.
Don't start with those fake lines!
He blocked them with his muscles?!
You bastard... It really seems like you want the Gods' wrath.
As you desire, I'll show you the true strength of the Gods and the Buddha by crushing you!
Kakei-san!
You're in such a pitiful state, Saya.
This isn't good.
Purification of the Six Roots of Perception:
Homage to Infinite Light!
You monster!
You seem to be having fun!
You're my prey, Saizou.
I still have a score to settle with you.
Kamanosuke!
Let go of that!
You're a friend of these heretics?
I'll teach you the proper way, so get down here!
Damn you!
You can't win with just strength!
Let go!
Repent!
That damned muscle guy!
I told you to let go!
Disperse, you aberrations!
You insolent bastard!
You reap what you sow.
These guys are coming forth one by one.
What is this?!
A test from the Gods?
I see!
I can hear the voices of the Gods!
They're telling me to surpass this and improve myself!
Okay!
God!
I will accept this trial!
He's spitting out nonsense, but he isn't some ordinary guy.
My, my.
What's going on here?
Ana!
Since it was so noisy, I came to see what was happening.
If you don't finish this quickly, the inn will be destroyed.
Then help us out.
No way.
What?!
He's physiologically impossible for me to handle.
Ana.
He's making me wet just by looking at him.
You...
I'll handle him alone.
Argh.
Do your best.
Come!
Come whenever you like.
What's with all this noise?
And as I see, they're our people.
Seems like it.
Who is that?
He's emitting a strange aura.
I won't hold back then!
Amen!
Go for his legs, Kamanosuke!
Don't order me around!
Now, Kamanosuke!
Don't order me!
He's good.
What are you saying?
Whatever it is, there's no doubt about my judgement.
Huh?
Already they're attacking with Saizou in the centre.
Die!
Huge Whirlwind!
You idiot!
Don't do a move like that here!
Serves him right!
Perfection of Wisdom!
Idiot!
You heretics!
All of the Gods and the Buddha.
Get away from him, Sasuke.
Only those who believe will be saved.
Great Mountain Rumbling!
That's too bad.
Your weak point is...
Give me a break.
But you can't possibly have muscles in your head.
So, which God will you be asking for help from?
You damned Buddhist priest!
Good job.
Everyone!
I won the dango eating tournament!
The prize was a mountain of dangos!
You're so annoying!
I'll give everyone one-
Who's that?
That hairpin... could it be... Isanami?!
Eh, how come you know my name?
Who are you?
I'm... your brother!
Who is?
I've been looking for you, little sister!
My dangos!
Don't touch him, Isanami!
There's nothing wrong with siblings hugging each other, right?
Right?
Pervert!
What are you talking about?
It's weird to suddenly hug someone!
Didn't you mention something about not having relatives?
I don't know this guy!
I'm not lying!
Besides, he doesn't even resemble me!
What are you doing?!
Don't get so close to guys!
You'll become filthy!
Why do I have to be told that by you?!
Because I'm your brother!
I'm telling you, who is?!
You dropped all my dangos!
Eh, that's...
Isanami.
Okay?
Okay.
I told you not to get close!
Stop!
If you're saying that you're my brother, stop this violence.
They're all important people to me.
O-Okay.
Besides, what's with this appearance?
Aren't you just an outlaw?
It's embarrassing.
E-Embarrassing?
Yeah.
Reflect on your actions!
Yes.
Fix the things you broke!
Yes.
I'll listen to you properly once you've finished.
Really?!
Okay!
He's weak against his little sister, eh.
Now that that's decided, I'll clean it up!
You guys help, too.
Don't kid me.
Do it yourself.
Let's go.
We'll wait at the hot spring health resort.
Yes.
Say, are you okay?
I probably shouldn't wake him.
Hey, start repairing already!
Okay!
Leave it to your brother!
But...
What a gathering of weird people.
It's only normal that Isanami and I don't look alike.
We're not blood-related.
Both Isanami and I used to be orphans.
The Shinto priests of Izumo Temple raised us.
The priests...
By the way, I was the one who found Isanami.
She was left at the Shinto shrine's archway back when I was eight years old.
No way!
You don't look suspicious,
but your clothes are somewhat different than usual.
I left Izumo back when I was fifteen years old.
After travelling around the various regions and learning about Shinto and Buddhism, I came to a conclusion:
All of the Gods and the Buddha are the same!
Only those who believe will be saved!
That's not something a humble servant of the Buddha would say.
What is it, you damned guy?!
It seems like it's been a while,
but how come you immediately knew it was Isanami?
I knew as soon as I saw that hairpin.
She's the only shrine maiden protecting that Kushimitama.
So it is real?
But I don't really remember you.
That's not strange since I've changed quite a bit on my long journey.
Look.
This is a picture from when I was fifteen years old.
Oh, Onii-chan!
He used to be there!
Ah, you finally remembered?
Let's hug for our reunion!
No!
I got it.
This must be some kind of fate.
If you'd like, you can stay at my place.
I-I'm grateful.
Yukimura-sama employed him, the guy that makes me wet.
Say, I can kill him, right?
Right?
Whoa, this is amazing.
Ah, sorry.
Take your time.
This is pretty good.
How about one?
I'll take it.
There's food, too.
This place is impressive.
I told you, I'm rewarding you for your hard work.
This is amazing.
My first bath in a half year!
Get into the bath after you've washed your body.
For purification!
Are you okay with taking a bath with guys?
Don't say anything.
We can only confirm it by seeing it with our own eyes.
A-As if I'd take a bath with you!
I don't need hot water, the river is enough for me!
That's too bad, I'd wanted to see.
What did you want to see?
You're all really stubborn, whether it's you or Kakei.
Talking about Kakei-san, I haven't seen him since I arrived.
He left a while ago.
He left?
He said he wanted to travel the various regions and train some more.
He needs to repair his rifle, too.
But that's rather sudden.
That's because he knows my laws.
As a Samurai.
What if he doesn't come back?
That'll be it then.
He was only working under me until he finds a more capable master to serve.
For men, there's nothing better than putting one's life at risk for something he loves.
That's what we are like.
Sounds like a phrase you'd use to keep your subordinates in line.
There are times when your followers will think you're stupid.
You really are too much for me, old man.
Eh, what's with this hair?
Where's it coming from?!
Sasuke!
Damn you, don't put animals into the water!
What are you saying?
Stop it!
I'm eating.
Such a disgrace.
This is their territory.
Right now people are using it.
Get them out.
I refuse.
Yukimura-sama gave me permission.
What?!
Old guy!
The bruises are gone.
What could that have been?
I can't stand it any more, I'm at my limit.
You're not tired, Ana?
I don't really enjoy hot springs.
What?
Even though we're both girls, why is it so different?
Having big ones has its own problems, too.
The areas under my breasts get wet when I sweat and they make my shoulders sore.
What?
Are you bragging?
I'm not.
It's better to have smaller ones.
I want to have bigger ones!
What?
Just the steam is getting to me.
Want to have a cold drink?
Ah, that's a nice-
Ah, the steam is in the way.
Yuki... Yukimura-sama!
Are you having fun? Isanami?
Pervert!
Don't worry, I'm not interested in you.
Isanami!
Did you call your brother?
You guys... what do you think you're looking at?!
W-Wait, Ana, don't do it!
Iga's Epigone Ice Technique: Blooming Ice Spears!
Yukimura-sama.
Idiot.
As if I'd take a cold bath.
This is no fun!
I thought there would be more to get my blood boiling if I stayed with Sanada.
And whenever I think of settling the score with Saizou, someone always gets in the way!
What?
Weren't you taking a bath with your friends?
It's up to me to decide when I get out.
What are you doing?
It has nothing to do with yo-
You... don't tell me you really did go into the river.
I like beautiful things.
You're all cold.
Are you an idiot?
Even your nose is all red.
Since Ana froze the hot spring, we can't use it to warm you up.
Don't joke with me!
I'll be sure to be the one who kills you!
Remember that, you shit!
What good is it to say that now?
What is...
What...
What is this?
He didn't even do anything, so why am I running?
Wait!
Calm down!
I'm feeling anxious because I haven't had a good fight recently.
Argh! Shit!
It pisses me off!
Amaharu!
Ama-
Shit!
You piss me off!
Amaharu!
I've calmed down.
Amaharu?
It's because of Saizou.
It's because he touched my hair.
A sensation I've never felt before;
a warm hand that doesn't seem to have a thirst for blood.
I don't think of him as a companion.
To me, he's not like that.
I don't want to see him now.
If I'm going to face him, it would have to be a battle with blood.
Just thinking of it makes me excited.
An unbelievably pleasant feeling!
Is that what Saizou makes me feel?
He's the only one who can make me feel that way!
But... that pleasant feeling right now was totally different.
Argh, I don't get it!
Why are you here?
Amaharu is mine.
Amaharu?
Ah, this?
It feels so good.
Can I make cloth out of him?
No!
Argh, my head really hurts.
Bathed too long?
No, it's because I was frozen by Ana, and then taken out by your spell.
So, what will happen?
There's nothing but for me to go.
You too, of course, Rokurou.
Me too?
Looks like it's going to be a long trip.
Written Invitation
You want to summon everyone in order to show off your powers, eh?
Sounds like that old Tanuki...
...is finally ready to make his move.
Ah well, a letter from Tokugawa.

Hey Ana, what are you doing?
Hurry up already.
No way.
Because he just walked by!
What did?
Ana, Saizou, what are you doing?
The party is starting-
Isanami, calm down and walk a little-
What is this?!
I'm gonna slip on this road!
I told you, it makes me get so wet.
Seikai, wipe the floor.
