There-upon, Kurando, who had mastered the art of Ninpo and surpassed all others in bravery, was ordered to take on the heavy responsibility of rescuing the emperor. At that time Kurando was handsome young man of sixteen and therefore disguised himself as a lady in waiting and strolled into Kazian-in residence. Carrying the Emperor on his back he crept down the corridor, but was discovered by a small rank of ordinary soldiers.

With a Kiai he jumped down in front of the gate with the Emperor still on his back, and became surrounded by a general and his samurai from every direction. Putting the Emperor down in the shadow of the tree, Kurando took his Naginata in one hand and shouted, “Who is your Leader?” As Kurando fought the enemy soldiers which were cut down like grass.
