In the days that followed, the bandit-suppression campaign unfolded in full swing. Through the arduous efforts of numerous shinobi, the campaign achieved remarkable results.

Furthermore, because the funds provided by the Daimyo were exceptionally generous, a considerable surplus remained even after the bandit-suppression mission was successfully completed.
