You can accept The Butterfly Collector quest from the Gamemaker, who you can find right next to the Katano castle in the center of the Izumi Settsu region. She will assign you to find ten origami butterflies. All of them are located on trees in Osaka - they are hung exclusively in the main part of the city, so don't look for them on nearby islands or on the outskirts. Some butterflies are actually secret letters that will lead you on the trail of a kidnappers' gang operating in Osaka. To complete the task, you must find all the butterflies and kill all the kidnappers. Use observation mode to find targets.

You will get a lead on a kidnapper by finding a letter from that kidnapper. This will allow you to track down the target. Eliminating all targets and escorting their victims home will give you the information needed to kill the kidnappers' leader, Kacho.
- Shucho - head to the southern end of the city, near the bridge, where you will find a child. Talk to the little girl to find out that she escaped from her kidnapper. The kidnapper, Shucho, is on the nearby street. A guard stands right next to her, so if you want to kill her quietly, distract him with a shinobi bell, or you can throw a kunai or a smoke bomb at her. Not far, to the northwest of the fishing district, there is an open warehouse where you will find a clue about the gang leader.
- Richo - head out of the city, to the bamboo grove north of the castle. There you will find Richo - kill her quietly and open the hut in which she imprisoned the child. Follow the girl all the way to her mother to get the next clue.
- Mucho - head to the ruins of Kojo, on the island west of the city. Mucho will start running as soon as you approach - chase and kill her when you get away from the soldiers or kill her with a kunai. Talk to the kidnapped boy and follow him to his father. You will get a tip to talk to the paper seller - you will find him north of the temple in Osaka. After a short conversation, you will find out where the leader of the kidnappers is.
- Kacho - the leader is waiting in the Nishinomaru garden to the west of the castle in Osaka. Sneak in there to confront her - don't count on being able to perform an assassination, as soon as you get close, a cut-scene will start, after which you will fight with Kacho. She fights like a typical opponent wielding two knives, so she shouldn't cause you any trouble - just watch out for knife throws.
Completing the quest
After everything, return to the Gamemaker at Katano Castle. You will have to choose a name for her and decide whether to kill her or spare her. Canonically, the heroes decide to spare the woman. This will complete the mission.
