S1·E22 Thoughts of a Friend! The Way of the Ninja and the Pride of a Saint!

Haruto, accompanied by Ryuhou, journeys to his home village in an attempt to come to terms with his past and regain his resolve. While there, Ryuhou learns that Haruto became a saint in order to follow the footsteps of his good friend and older brother figure Yoshitomi, the previous Wolf Saint. Yoshitomi had apparently been murdered by a masked silver saint in front of Haruto and the boy had been desperate for answers ever since. Haruto's fater, despite his disapproval of Haruto becoming a saint, helps him gain back his fighting spirit by staging an assassination attempt on his son's life.
