When he regained consciousness, he happened to witness the scene of Ii Naosuke's head being severed and taken away.
Their own lord was killed, and his head was taken... Such humiliation, Kohagihara Hideyoshi could never tolerate!
Driven by this surge of grief and indignation, Kohagihara Hideyoshi felt a new strength welling up within him.
With this newfound strength, Kohagihara Hideyoshi, ignoring his own injuries, stubbornly pursued Arimura Jisaburo and Hirooka Sonosuke.
His footsteps were muffled by the wind and snow.
Furthermore, Arimura Jisaburo and his companions were heavily injured and in an extremely poor state, so they completely failed to notice the pursuer behind them...
Kohagihara Hideyoshi successfully closed in on Arimura Jisaburo from behind and, without hesitation, raised his sword and slashed!
The blade struck the back of Arimura Jisaburo's head, cutting open an extraordinarily horrifying gash.
