After the fateful meeting, Kojiro Sasaki (Hiroshi Takeda) works hard to defeat Musashi Miyamoto (Mifune Toshiro). After that, Kojiro came to Edo to seek official position, during which he met Musashi, who was also in Edo, and the two agreed on a duel at the east gate. However, on the eve of the duel, Musashi wrote to request that the duel be postponed for a year. The next day Musashi and Chengtaro (Sakurai) and Kongoro (Tanaka) traveled to the countryside, where the master and apprentice hoed the fields while teaching farmers martial arts and resisting bandits. During this period, A Tong (8,000 grass embellishment) and Zhu Shi (Okada Jasmine son) successively came here to find Musashi, and Zhu Shi was unfortunately killed in the bandit chaos. A year later, Kojiro becomes a courtier of Hosokawa, and Yanliu Island will be a turning point for him and Musashi.
