Gabimaru the Hollow, a former ninja assassin of Iwagakure who is known and feared as a heartless husk of a man, spends his days on death row wondering when an executioner skilled enough to so much as harm him will arrive, as he thinks nothing of seeing an end to his meaningless existence... Or so he thought. After a skilled female executioner belonging to the Yamada clan by the name of Yamada Asaemon Sagiri confronts him, she makes the young ninja open his eyes to the fact that he wants live in order to reunite with his wife and offers him a proposition: if he ever wishes to see his beloved wife again, he is, under the auspices of the shogunate, to embark on a perilous voyage to a mysterious mystic island said to house the Elixir of Life. Should he be the one among many rival death-row fiends and scoundrels to find the elixir and return with it for the shogun, he will earn a full exoneration, and, more importantly, a chance at an ordinary married life with the light of his life--the woman who made the world seem not so ugly. Gabimaru gladly accepts the task but soon finds out that he has recieved more than what he bargained for. Is what awaiting him and the others hell? Paradise? Or Hell's Paradise?

Chapter 93 of the Jigokuraku manga.

Isuzu remembers the time she felt a connection with Sagiri when they first met since they were females in the Yamada clan and asks that she come to her senses. Meanwhile, Gabimaru watches as the two shinobi, Kinkakubō and Ginkakubō, use Transformation Jutsu to reform their faces into the Iwagakure chief and Yui but says that he is not fooled by their scheme. Gabimaru figures that the next Gabimaru must be Shija, which the two verified and tells him that Kumokiri, along with two others have also died. They also insisted on telling Gabimaru that Shija killed the other candidates and that they still view him as the true Gabimaru, much to Gabimaru's annoyance. Gabimaru then wishes to know what the real reason for Iwagakure to be involved with the mission, however, Kinkakubō responses saying that it is a mystery to them what the chief is actually plotting. After they hear the sounding of the conch, signalling that they have acquired the Elixir of Life, Kinkakubō humbly asks Gabimaru to end his life by licking Ginkakubō's toxic saliva while adding that his honor will be preserved in Iwagakure.
