The Samurai (1962)

Fate of a Ninja (5x10)

:

Shintarō ends up on the roof in a confrontation with Kotarō while the inn burns beneath them. The ninja who escaped the hut finally arrives at Oiso, badly wounded and hears that a little boy and a samurai were burned to death in a fire. He asks a man (Kotarō in disguise) to confirm this and he takes him to where the bodies are supposedly. Shintarō interrupts and there is a brief fight and Kotarō escapes with a leg wound as he runs up some stairs. Meanwhile Dōjin and his men continue to surround the hut as the Iga group is reduced to two, Tonbei and Koichirō. They prepare to take a last stand. Koichirō is killed and Tonbei is about to take his own life when Shintarō appears and attacks the Fūma. Kotarō calls his men off. Tonbei mourns the loss of his five comrades.
