    Reunited with her daughter Opal Tanaka, Shizuko taught her the ways of the clan in preparation of the impending forced marriage while maintaining the appearance of a humble servant to Lord Tatsuo. However in a bid to save her daughter, Shizuko attempted to kill Lord Tatsuo by slipping poison into his tea prior to the war about to be engaged in by the Clans Yashida and Tatsuo. Soon after, a Yashida ninja dispatched by Mariko Yashida rescued both her and Opal.
