Thanks to the powers of Tattoo, the group was able to find Elektra and her protegees in no time. Kirigi killed McCabe, Elektra's "manager", and then followed the woman, Abby, and Mark Miller in the woods. During the following battle, two of the Hand ninja were killed, but Elektra was defeated, and Kirigi himself captured Abby. In that very moment, Stick and his men appeared and stopped the Hand ninja, forcing them to flee.

Kirigi was then contacted by Elektra herself, and they came to an agreement. The two of them would fight, and if Kirigi won, he would have Abby. If Elektra won, the girl would be free forever. Kirigi accepted, and the two met in the same house in which Kirigi killed Elektra's mother.
