Narrated by Aki 

After some time of Munenori showing me how to use the rifle. 

Munenori: You're getting pretty good! 

Bang! Bang! 

Munenori: This rifle can do ranged shots, so take your time and line up the shot. 

Aki: Right... 

Munenori looks up to the stars. 

Munenori: Must be midnight by now... 

Suddenly Goemon jumps over the garden wall. 

Goemon: Aki! We just got word from a lower ninja. Mitsuhide is going to Honno-ji! 

I pull up the rifle and slip it into my kimono. 

Aki: Goemon take me there. 

Goemon: Where did this fire come from? 

Munenori: I'm pretty surprised by it as well.

Goemon takes me to Honno-ji. We meet up with Hanzo and the others. Goemon picks me up and jumps into a tree. We're all looking down at Honno-ji. 

Hanzo: Are they keeping Kuma in there? 

Munenori: It won't be easy to get inside. 

Hanzo: Yagyu, thanks for helping us, but you serve the Tokugawas, we can't mix you up in this. 

Hanzo and Munenori look at each other. 

Munenori: What are you thinking? 

Hanzo: We're going to attack Honno-ji. 

Munenori: ... 

Hanzo: We will use the strength of all the ninjas and kill Nobunaga. People will die, but as long as he lives we have no future, but you have to protect you own group. 

Munenori: that's true, but I am also the head of the shadow Yagyu. 

Hanzo: ... 

Munenori: Who I might just help out. 

Hanzo: Yagyu... 

Munenori: look, if you go from the front you won't win. You need guns all around. Shoot from all directions and they will be confused. Then in the dark attack from all the sides, also, fire arrows. He will have to come out because of the smoke. 

Hanzo: ...Alright. 

Munenori: It's dangerous either way! 

Hanzo: I know... 

Hanzo lifts his hand and signals the gunners to start firing at the temple. 

Bang! Bang! 

Samurai: What's going on?!? 

Samurai: Someone is shooting at us! 

BANG! BANG! 

Samurai: Where are they shooting from?! 

The samurai start running around at the sound of the gun shots. Hanzo then sends the signal for the fire arrows, setting the temple roof on fire! 

Samurai: Shit! They are going to smoke us out! 

Hanzo and the others rush into the temple. 

Hanzo: Prepare yourself! 

Slice!  

Hanzo cuts down one samurai after the other! 

Sasuke and Jen Jen are back to back. 

Sasuke: Come and get it!
