Kinji has now become an “apprentice” disciple of Yoshitaka and joins the rest of the team in ninjutsu training. Since he attained his abilities through self-schooling, he knows nothing about the basics. It is then that he decides to train from zero by himself. A young boy who had stayed for extra baseball practice sees Kinji training. Then, the dream eating Yokai, Baku, appears and attacks the boy. Takaharu appears and shields him, but both their dreams get eaten. Also, Kyuemon has broght back the last member of the Kibaoni Army, none other than Gengetsu’s wife, the Lady of Kibaoni's house, Ariakenokata!
