Harima who has changed his name to Inugami-no-Sukune, becomes the leader of Inugami village where village folks enjoy prosperity. It seems like the peaceful life in the village lasts forever. However, pressures from the Imperial Court to exclude native gods to extend Buddhism rapidly increases. Just then a holy seat enshrining a native god is hardly destroyed by a minister's followers. Inugami finally stands against the Imperial Court. To save the village, he heads to Otsu hoping for assistance from Prince Oama, a younger brother of Emperor Tenchi who is rumored to be an advocate of native gods. However, Inugami is attacked by an assassin again.
