Uh...didn't we already play this story arc at Carwen?
This time there's a twist -- The Hiryuu is only going to live for ten minutes!

Between the mountain with the magic plant and Castle Bal, we find a town that we can't go around, run by Ninja Wolf, an old friend of Galuf's. He challenges Unne to a duel, and attacks using one of Dorgann's techniques, which Unne recognizes.
Unne cuts Ninja Wolf in half, and they catch up on old times. Ah, nostalgia. Flashbacks are so gr...wait, what?

Now the people of Ninja Wolf's town come out of hiding. They are...unique.

The mountain climb is boring, so we'll skip to finding the Hiryuu plant.

Yeah, you should.
Well, we've got like 30 seconds left before the Hiryuu dies, best run on up to -- what's that, Lassie? Cara has cancer?
