Usagi Yojimbo #13

The assassins have discovered that Usagi is a traitor, intent on thwarting their plan to kill the Shogun's emissary. They imprison the entire village in the storehouse and are ready to burn it with a moment's notice if he does not go through with the plan. Usagi is able to release his old friends Mariko and Kenichi, but they cannot return with help in time to prevent the assassination.
