Following the death of the false goddess, Chōsokabe Motochika, Katsusada Shishauezaemon calls upon her father's soul, Chōsokabe Kunichika, to glean some information about what happened to the Chōsokabe Clan. Although acerbic in manner, Kunichika reveals that it was Motochika who led the clan down this dark, void-ridden path, and that her soul likely no longer exists in any way that Shishauezaemon can use. What's more, the fallen shaman informs Shishauezaemon that it was Momochi Sandayu who was hired to assassinate Hashinara Yoshiyuki. Sandayu is now dead, but the force behind the assassination, the dark ninja's employer, remains unknown.
