But their arrival in a small Wah village is met with unexpected problems as Houben, a powerful Buddhist monk, wants Harima dead. With the help of the Ku clan's wolf gods who protect the village's environment, he survives the assassination attempt. After tensions settle, Saruta uses his established reputation in Wah to convince the villagers to welcome Harima into their community.
