Kaido's forces and Orochi's men shout, "Kill what is left of the Kozuki clan!!!" "They have no weapons!!" and "Exterminate them until the last!!!" Shinobu, exhausted and breathing "Huff huff," gives the fleeing retainers the swords that let them fight back. They cut through attackers in a burst of motion, and one enemy screams, "AARGH!!!" As the battle scatters around them, a retainer gasps, "Thank you so much for the swords, Shinobu!!" She answers, "You're welcome!!" Page 4: Kin'emon takes command while the wounded group runs. Kiku calls, "Hey, Master Kin!!" and Kin'emon declares, "We all decided to become vassals without being invited!! It's for you to choose!!" Kiku answers, "Yes!!" The others ask, "Can I consider myself a Kozuki vassal?!" The urgency explodes again when the minks clash with pursuers. Nekomamushi tries to restrain them: "Inuarashi, Nekomamushi!! Calm down!!" But rage breaks out. Someone snarls, "It's like you were the one who killed Lord Oden... You moron cat!!" Another bites back, "You are a bit disloyal to worry like that about what the enemies think!!" and the accusation continues, "Wouldn't you be the spy about whom Kaido spoke, by any chance, dog?!!" A warning cuts through the quarrel: "Look behind you!!" The enemies close in, and the retainers shout, "Don't help them, we don't have time!!" while the two minks continue raging: "Inu, Neko!! Bunch of fools!!"
