Shinobi no Ittoki episode 9, titled In the Light of Dawn, will see the Iga ninjas gather to protect their village from the Koga invasion as their first line of defense has been breached. The anime recently dropped a preview teaser in which it was shown that Reiha had taken charge of Iga’s command center.

As the acting chief of Iga, this will be a crucial time for Ittoki to protect his village and prove his worth as the rightful successor after Hidetoki.

A brief recap of the previous episode

As Gashogawara went missing, Genji took charge of the NSC and promoted Shione to the 1st Division. Genji blamed Iga ninjas for being involved with Gashogawara’s disappearance. However, Shione found his accusations suspicious and wanted her team to follow the last given orders of the latter.

The Iga villagers discovered that their clan chief, Yumika, had been sentenced to death by NSC under false charges. Ittoki ordered Tokisada and Kousetsu to rescue his mother without voluntarily seeking banishment from the clan to protect Iga’s impression.

Kidou killed Housen after he asked him to reconsider attacking the Iga village. The Koga ninjas successfully breached the first line of Iga’s defense with the help of their Asura bots.

While rescuing Yumika, Tokisada and Kousetsu got surrounded by Genji and the entire NSC force. Suzaku found out that Kidou killed his father.
