Hidden valleys, bamboo forests, rooftops... Every corner of the Scarlet Shadow bore witness to their battles. Every time Hayabusa won, Hanabi would ask,"Why did I lose...", but he would only shrug in return. Hayabusa had long accepted that he possessed no extraordinary talent. In pursuit of his brother's nindo, he trained alone, until he finally understood that the relationship between ninja tools and ninjutsu was like that of scarlet and shadow—two sides of the same coin. They were inseparable. The Scarlet Sect and Shadow Sect surely knew this too, yet they chose to remain fixated on winning over each other. But illusions will eventually shatter. The genius ninja Hanzo broke into the forbidden grounds, stole the sealed weapon Ame no Habakiri, and fled. Hayabusa's brother, who had gone with him, vanished without a trace. Overnight, Hanzo became the Scarlet Shadow's greatest threat, and peace teetered on a blade's edge. To capture Hanzo and retrieve the cursed weapon, both sects dispatched their best, and both Hayabusa and Hanabi were among them. Before departing, Hayabusa received a secret order from his father: "Reclaim the Ame no Habakiri for the Shadow Sect, and kill Hanzo and anyone else who stands in your way." Strangely, the order made no mention of his brother. Filled with doubt, Hayabusa tracked Hanzo's trail—he had to find him. During his pursuit, Hayabusa discovered Hanabi lying on the ground, surrounded by ninjas from both sects writhing in agony. As Hayabusa tried to wake Hanabi, a malevolent aura struck at him. He gripped his blade tightly. Then, he saw a familiar yet strange figure—it was his brother, radiating with murderous intent. He saw blood staining his brother's hands... He saw the light had vanished from his eyes... No matter how Hayabusa called out, he was met only with increasingly violent attacks, each aimed to kill. Never had Hayabusa imagined the moon could become so blood-red. Darkness engulfed Hayabusa's heart. He lowered his blade as his brother rushed toward him. "Hayabusa, don't you dare lose to anyone but me!" Hanabi's voice echoed in his memory, like a flame igniting in his heart. Deep within, Hayabusa saw the moonlight, and beneath it, Hanabi. Hanabi's eyes burned as she looked at Hayabusa while gently twirling her Higanbana, "I'm going to surpass you." In that instant, Hayabusa regained consciousness. With one hand, he formed a seal, activating Quad Shadow to send forth four shadows that restrained his opponent with lightning speed. He gripped his blade and struck without a moment of hesitation. Hayabusa watched as the murderous aura gradually dissipated along with his brother's image, revealing Ame no Habakiri's true form, glaring with rage and laughing maniacally. The cunning Ame no Habakiri had tried to use illusions to exploit the weakness in human hearts, only to encounter such resilience within. Breaking free from the illusion, Hayabusa was no longer bound by the darkness. Though he knew Ame no Habakiri was powerful, behind him stood Hanabi, Kagura, and the unknown fate of his brother. He had no choice but to stand up. Even without the moon's guidance, a shadow must forge its own path. "Wherever I shall go, I do so without fear."
