Ittoki the Ninja Kousetsu and Tokisada refuse to let Ittoki confront Kidou on his own and accompany him despite his protests. Upon entering the Koga tower, they are immediately attacked by a horde of Asuras. Ryoko and Kirei arrive to hold them off, with Kirei apologizing to Ittoki for her betrayal. The trio continue their way up the tower, with Tokisada and Suzaku staying behind to occupy more Koga ninja, though Suzaku is badly wounded in the process.

Kidou activates his own Ninja Core and attacks Ittoki and Kousetsu, though thanks to the Iga Ninja Core, Ittoki is able to defeat Kidou and leaves him to be apprehended by the NSC...
