The Battle of Gohda Harbor saw the final defeat of the Burning Dawn. Ayame, who had stowed aboard the Fire Demon, killed the ninja inside the ship, while Rikimaru and the samurai killed those outside. Gohda's forces counterattacked, led by Tachibana Jubei and assisted by Rikimaru. She targeted Gohda Castle, firing several shots from the harbor and damaging the castle badly. When the Azuma Ninja tracked Tatsumaru to the caverns, Kagami realized she had been discovered and launched the completed Fire Demon. The Burning Dawn leaders escaped past Ayame, fleeing back to the Kansen Caverns. He got the upper hand on his former comrade, but found himself unable to take Tatsumaru's advice, and was injured by Tatsumaru and disarmed by Kagami. Rikimaru arrived back first, killing off the Burning Dawn ninja in the village before facing Tatsumaru. Tatsumaru himself injured Lord Gohda and killed the Azuma leader, Shiunsai. The Burning Dawn ninja cut down all the occupants of the Azuma Village, ninja and civilian alike, with considerable ease. Rikimaru eliminated the Burning Dawn ninja in the temple and Ayame saved the village, but in their absence, Kagami and Tatsumaru attacked the Azuma Village. However, to avoid her ninja having to fight Rikimaru and Ayame, she sent Suzaku to attack a temple, while she and Tatsumaru assailed Gohda's secret Quarantine Village. Incensed, Kagami planned to kill the occupants of the Azuma Ninja Village as a warning to others who might oppose her.
Ayame followed the Burning Dawn's trail to Kubon Island and killed off the rest of the Baliosung Gang. Rikimaru killed Kamadoma and the other Burning Dawn Ninja on Demon Mountain, then discovered Kagami's Secret Harbor, at which she had been transporting slaves, and wiped out the Chinese pirates there. The kidnapping activites came to light after a short time, and the Azuma Ninja were dispatched to stop them. Kagami also hired the Chinese Baolisung Gang to kidnap even more villagers.
Other Burning Dawn operatives, such as Kamadoma on Demon Mountain, ran their own kidnapping operation. The kidnapped villagers served as slaves in the construction. The Burning Dawn's construction of the Fire Demon was behind schedule, and in order to speed things up, Kagami sent her Lords to kidnap villagers from Gohda's province. Tatsumaru was made the newest Lord of the Burning Dawn, replacing and taking on the identity of Seiryu. Inside, the Burning Dawn ninja had been constructing a massive warship, the Fire Demon, with enough weaponry and armor to challenge the samurai. Tatsumaru and Kagami dueled, but their fight was interrupted when the cliff they were battling on collapsed into the sea, taking both combatants with it.īoth warriors survived the fall, and Kagami carried Tatsumaru to shore when they washed up near the Kansen Caverns. Below, the watching Nyogetsu Ninja fell on Toda's samurai, slaughtering the entire army in simultaneous attacks. Stepping to a precipice overlooking the army's camp, she set fire to his head in a prearranged signal. After Toda was defeated in battle by Tatsumaru, Kagami took advantage of her lord's injuries and decapitated him. When Lord Toda invaded Gohda's province during Motohide's rebellion, he took his retinue of ninja with him. Tatsumaru killed Seiryu, knocking him off the roof with a slash from Izayoi, and pursued Kagami. She escaped, leaving her comrade Seiryu, the Blue Dragon to fight Tatsumaru.
Tatsumaru ascended to the peak of the castle and confronted Kagami. Most of those who were present were killed by Azuma Ninja Tatsumaru and Ayame. Kagami and several of her ninja participated in Gohda Motohide's attack on Gohda Castle, dispatching several samurai. She seems not to have recruited from outside her own clan, with the possible (but unclear) exception of Suzaku. Whether she recruited every member of the Nyogetsu Ninja is unknown, but the vast majority seem to have been swayed to her cause. The five leaders supervised an army of hundreds, if not thousands, of ninja.Īfter Seiryu was killed by Tatsumaru, Tatsumaru himself took on the identity of Seiryu and became the new Blue Dragon, as well as Kagami's second-in-command.Īppearance suggests that Kagami had been planning the Burning Dawn for a long time before it actually came to light. The Burning Dawn was led by Lady Kagami, who was assisted by four captains, each with the title of "Lord of the Burning Dawn".
