Honzu sat on the roof to evaluate the situation. Distant cries alerted him to the fact that the Guards had found the lifeless body of their Lord. If he wished to escape Honzu still had to cross the wall that protected the Palace because the underground tunnel that he had used to enter would be compromised.

From where he sat the Western Tower seemed the best way out. Just two Guards stood in his way. He needed to outsmart them instead of fighting them. With a sharp turn of his wrist he threw the hira shurikens directly at their legs, and they fell to the ground screaming.

Honzu ran past them and jumped down the City Walls disappearing into the darkness of the night.
