USAMI Sadamitsu sends Heizō to Suruga while NAGAO Kagetora's second visit to Kyoto. He orders Heizō to tell Chōkyū, former Toraōmaru who becomes a monk to kill TAKEDA Harunobu and tells what he should say in Suruga. But Hisa is afraid that her husband is sacrificed by Sadamitsu. She hopes that he will hold his life dear. Heizō says he will do it for justice but Hisa tells him if Chokyu succeeds in it, Heizō will be punished anyway.


In Kai, a girl is born betweeen Yoshinobu and Aya and Yoshinobu is so delighted with it. It is informed to IMAGAWA Yoshimoto. Jukeini tells him that Aya takes the backbone out of Yoshinobu as TAIGEN Sessai said. Then one of his attendants appears and tells him that a man called YAZAKI Heizo from Echigo visits him. Heizō meets Jukeini and tells her that he served the Suwa clan before and makes effort to avenge SUWA Yorishige. Jukeini is astonished whether he knows the Imagawa ckan is related to the Takeda clan, but she brings him to Zentokuji Temple.


At Zentokuji, Heizo tells Chōkyū that his father committed hara-kiri leaving the will that he should succeed him and his half sister Yu-u hime became a concubine of Sjingen as Sadamitsu told him. Chōkyū asks him what happened afterwards and then Jukeini says severely.
"She was killed."
She says that Yu-u hime was a caged bird after having given birth to a son and died of illness. In addition, she tells him that he is ignored in the Takeda clan and then he resolves to revenge himself on Shingen. He asks her to let him pass and secretly departs for Kai with the guidance of Heizo who disguises himself as yamabushi.


On his way, Chōkyū asks Heizō if he has a family or not and he answers that he left his family in Echigo. Chōkyū decides to go to Kōfu by himself and advises Heizō to return home. And Kansuke admires that Shirō who is guarded by AKIYAMA Nobutomo, keeper of Takatō Castle becomes sturdy. He instructs him in strategy but Shirō seems to be bored with it. Kansuke persuades him that he should learn it for the Takeda clan or Suwa clan.


After that he returns to Kōfu and learns that a young monk often visits O-Goto hime from Ritsu. She goes to Sekisuiji Temple where she lives and says that Shingen will visit there tomorrow. Hagino is dissatisfied that Shingen occasionally visits O-Goto hime but Sanjo Fujin is satisfied with her first grandchild. And Chōkyū meets Shingen at the temple on the following day. Heizō, who secretly sees how the land lies is found by his old friends, Denbée and Takichi.
"It's you, Heizō! What are you doing here?"
But he is dump as an oyster.


They suspect his behaviour and let Kansuke meet him. Kansuke remembers the words of Ritsu and presses him hard to tell him who the monk is. At last Heizō asks him to stop the monk who is former Toraomaru. And at sekisuiji, Chōkyū tells "Heiké Monogatari" to the women and Mari hime but Shingen takes a nap. Chōkyū approaches him to put a sleeved coverlet over him and then he takes a dagger from his bosom to kill him. However he gets up suddenly and shouts him that he knows everything. Then Shingen takes him to Tsutsujigasaki and tells him about Ōi Fujin who looked after him when he was a child. Shingen plans to take him in  but Yoshinobu opposes it violently.


Then Chōkyū approaches him to show just as he is. Though Kansuke tries to stop him, Chōkyū watches for his chance and draws Yoshinobu's dagger to kill him. But Hagino tries to intervene them and killed by Chōkyū. Shingen orders his vassals to confine him in a temple. Kansuke who returns home hears that both Takichi and Denbée made Heizō escape. He is so angry with it but Denbée says it's plotted by Jukeini. Kansuke is surprised and damns her.
