On the riverbank, you’ll find an arrow with a note attached. Examine the arrow to read the message, which simply says,

“Help, trapped inside.”

Atsu will realize the arrow was likely shot from somewhere nearby, pointing you toward a small homestead where the sender is hiding.

Track down Taizo

Follow the river east until you come across a small hut guarded by Nine Tails shinobi. These enemies are on the lookout for Taizo. Take them down.

Once the immediate guards are dealt with, check the house. The lower floor is empty, so look for an open window on the upper level. Climb inside to find Taizo hiding.

Speak with him, and he’ll explain that the Nine Tails are after Ran, the Bowyer. He’ll give Atsu the Charm of Raining Arrows. This charm allows Atsu to fire quick arrows at enemies without aiming. Note that while it makes combat faster, it does not allow for headshots.

Clear the path and ride with Taizo

With the charm in hand, step outside with Taizo and use it to eliminate the enemies around the homestead. Once the area is safe, mount your horse alongside Taizo.

Ride through the area toward Ran, taking out shinobi on the way with the charm. You don’t need to aim for headshots, but the charm makes clearing groups much faster.
