Within weeks, it was clear that Hoshi was smitten, and Giri's heart shattered. Giri became obsessed and quickly grew into hatred. The Darkness offered their shadow powers to Giri, promising that she would would be as remarkable as Eisai and steal Hoshi's heart away.

=== Mistress of the Ninube ===
By the time the Battle of Oblivion's Gate, Ninube Giri had almost completely forgotten herself. With the naming of the Lying Darkness, she found herself alone and abandoned. She was drawn to the Shadowlands alongside with other minions of the Shadows. Her connection to Nothing was enough to keep the Taint from consuming her completely, and she taught others how to harness the power of Shadow within them without attracting the attention of the new master of the Darkness, the Shadow Dragon. When one of her minions asked her name, she replied "Eisai," the only memory she truly had. The anger sparked by that revelation caused her to destroy the ninja that asked and none spoke their mistress' name anymore.
