After reporting back to the General Batu takes the infant Yaki out of the kingdom and into hiding where he eventually learns that the General is the one that arranged the attack and used the deaths of most of the ambushers as justification for hunting down the Shaman Warriors from his old partner and lover the assassin Genji.
