After the battle he parts from Kansuke but falls ill on the street and is saved by YAZAKI Jugoro, vassal of the Suwas and his daughter Hisa. He becomes to serve the Yazakis and loves Hisa secretly.

And Yoshikiyo who is betrayed by some of his vassals escapes to Echigo at last.

Then Heizo serves the Uesugis who rule Echigo. He is ordered to tempt a young monk called Chokyu into killing Harunobu. He was born between Suwa Yorishige and his wife Nene but was forced to become a priest in his childhood. But it ended in failure and then he serves USAMI Tadamitsu, senior vassal of UESUGI Kenshin and participates in the fourth battle of Kawanakajima.

During the battle, he sees a man who is familiar to him. It is YAMAMOTO Kansuke who is dying but he is shot by arrow and falls down on the ground. After a while he stands up and tries to walk to Echigo where his wife Hisa and children Jugoro and Mitsu live. It is not clear whether he survives or not.
