Three.
Massimo. The first Samurai agreed that the murder of children must be stopped. Both Samurai settled to fight in the forest away from the village so that their unconsciousness would not bring additional deaths to the village, though many villagers wanted to see the two Samurai battle in their unconscious states.

There was no talk between the two Samurai when they faced each other. The trees rustled in the wind when they charged each other. Within a few moments, all of the villagers witnessing the duel died by the undiscerning sword of the unconscious Samurai, as his final strike was through the neck of his Samurai adversary. As the Samurai’s head rolled to the side, the beheaded Samurai’s body continued to unconsciously attack and finally pierced his enemy’s lung, choking him in his own blood. Villagers later found the bodies of the dead villagers, a Samurai with his eyes wide open, and another decapitated Samurai whose head was found away from its body, with his eyes closed and smiling.
End. Closed and Smiling
