On his way to Kyoto to stop Shishio, Kenshin visits his old master, Seijuro Hiko, the swordsman who once taught him the Hiten Mitsurugi style. Without mastering its ultimate technique, he cannot hope to defeat Shishio. But the reunion reopens an old wound: Kenshin once defied his master's teachings to throw himself into the revolution. Meanwhile in Kyoto, Shishio's Ten Swords begin to move, and shadows creep toward Kenshin's friends. What must one abandon in order to grow stronger? Under his master, Kenshin questions anew the meaning of a sword that protects life.

Reconciled with his master, he steels his resolve to face Shishio. In Kyoto, Aoshi and the Ten Swords' Sojiro maneuver ominously as the stage for the final battle is set. This volume is the deepest exploration of Kenshin's inner self, a run-up to the all-out war to come.
