What am I lacking?" Honestly, I don't think he did, because he didn't show up the next day, and if he got it, he would have come back for more, if only to gather more intelligence for his own ryu).

Just out of interest ( okay...i'm curious... ) what do you mean with KSR?
Kashima Shinryu...Katori Shintoryu...?
And if it's Kashima Shinryu...are you talking about a member of the Kashima Shinryu, headed by Seki Humitake...or the followers of Inaba Minoru?

As i said...just out of interest...
