“ | A shinobi only uses their blade to uphold justice. A shinobi without righteousness in their heart, is not a true shinobi. | ” |
— Ai Tennoji's master |
"The Vagaries of Ai and Mai" (
Summary
Shy and Utsuro Karakururi fight while Ai Tennoji reminisces about the past, after Mai deserted Soga Village. Her master has told her Mai was no longer a shinobi, as she used her blade not for means of justice. As she left the room, a child approached her, asking if Mai would be back, and Ai lied to him into saying that she would. Many were sent to find Mai, but none has returned.
Shy calls out to her and ends up being slashed in the chest to protect Ai, who was distracted. She tries to convince her sister once more, but then Utsuro shows her all the broken swords of those who were sent to search for her. Ai decides to hesitate no more and charges against Utsuro, ultimately stabbing her. It was, however, Utsuro's objective, as she fusions with Ai.
