Meet Hattori Hanzo on the Roof of a Building in Tealeaf Village

Searching for a Spy Walkthrough

# Walkthrough
1
Join up with Hattori Hanzo and go down to the lowest level of the village, then up the first set of stairs to the right, leading to a broken staircase.
2
From there, go to the left for a second set of stairs, and turn right to get to the top of the broken staircase. There will be an enemy crouched over a corpse. Search the corpse for the Abandoned Shrine Key.
3
Go back down one set of stairs and head north to the other end of the village. There will be a door you can unlock with the key.
4
On the other side of the doors, go up the stone steps and into a courtyard where there are a group of enemies you must defeat.
5
Defeating the first wave of enemies will summon another wave and the yokai Kyokotsu. Defeat this enemy to proceed.
6 Speak with Hattori Hanzo to complete the mission.
