They shout, "No, let us stay here!!" "You didn't even ask us!!" and "We don't wanna leave!!" His household is now growing too large, and the money is running low. Oden is scolded for lending more money to Orochi: "Why do you keep doing that!? You lent more money to that Orochi fellow, right!?" Oden admits that Orochi is on his own now after working for Yasuie, and says he cannot just leave him to die. The retainers try to train themselves, insisting, "We can do this!! Yasuie is no big deal!!" and chanting, "Tip... toe... slow and steady... This is the essence of walking like a ninja." Page 9: In Hakumai, Yasuie captures Oden's followers trying to steal money. He asks, "Why were you trying to steal so much money?" They answer, "Because Sir Oden needed money!!" Yasuie knows exactly what kind of people Oden has gathered, muttering, "That damn Oden... He sure recruited some odd characters..." Instead of punishing them, he says, "I will give you the money you tried to steal...!!" His own attendants panic that Hakumai will run out of money, but Yasuie gives even more and tells them, "Take this, too!! Use it wisely." When the retainers ask whether he truly loves Oden, he stares them down and prepares to explain what their loyalty must become.
