They made a quick deal. The geisha gets him out of the dungeon, and Kadzu helps her leave the city and find a safe place to live. The shinobi walked gloomily through the night forest, listening to her clumsy steps behind him. He was wounded. A piece of a broken arrow still stuck out of his shoulder. But he ignored the pain, since they did not have time to rest.

"Why are the people of the shogunate pursuing you? Why did he not like an ordinary geisha?"

He clenched his teeth from the pain in his shoulder when he moved his hand sharply and cursed silently. He won't last that long, the arrow needs to be pulled out.

"I'm not curious. This information will only help find the best safe place for you. Don’t try to lie."
