'''Chef Hong''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] and [[Yasuke]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived through the [[Animus|Animus EGO]].<ref name="ACSH">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''</ref>

==Description==
Naoe and Yasuke travels to [[Hiruga Bay]] to look for [[Samemaru]], a [[Piracy|pirate]] involved in the massacres of the {{Wiki|Niwa clan}}.

==Dialogue==
Naoe and Yasuke reached the [[Inokuma Hamlet]] in [[Lake Suigetsu]] and overheard on a nearby couple.
*'''Man:''' ''The next time those pirates break something of our son's, I'll show them.''
*'''Woman:''' ''Stop. I want the children to have their father.''
They overheard an elderly man by the dock and approached near him.
*'''Elderly Man:''' ''No one touch my boat, you hear? It is mine! If anyone wants to use it, that'll be a million koku of rice! And mackerel! Know what is good for you! Walk away from my boat!''
Defying the elderly man's orders, Naoe and Yasuke took the boat and rode out to the lake.
*'''Elderly Man:''' ''Eh! (sighs) Bring me back some mackerel?''
Naoe and Yasuke rode the boat to Hiruga Bay, passing under an arch under a rock formation.

*'''Naoe:''' ''How did this come to be? Did a god carve that arch?''
After a short ride, she reached Hiruga Bay, which was heavily guarded by pirates.
*'''Naoe:''' ''Hiruga Bay. A perfect spot to remain out of sight. Now to find Samemaru.''
After she infiltrated the area, she heard a certain tune.
*'''Naoe:''' ''That tune. I've heard it before. At [[Nagahide Estate|Niwa's Estate]].''
After a short exploration, Naoe recovered a note in one of the huts.

*'''Naoe:''' ''Samemaru and his mysterious partner are meeting in Obama. I need to find out who this partner is.''

Naoe and Yasuke explored another side of the hideout and found the lair where Samemaru resided in. Outside the hut, they eavesdropped on two pirates.
*'''Pirate Thug:''' ''Weren't we supposed to ship off the new batch? Where is Samemaru, and where are the captives?''
*'''Pirate Archer:''' ''Last I heard, Samemaru had to leave again. A meeting with someone important.''
*'''Pirate Thug:''' ''We can be important too! Bah. I'm so hungry. Wish I had some of Hong's noodles.''
Naoe and Yasuke entered the hut.
<tabber>
|-|Naoe=
*'''Naoe:''' ''A nasty lair for a nasty man. A clue might be here.''
Naoe read a note on the table.

|Text=Samemaru,<br>Enough with the petty squabbles. Did I not tell you about the Niwa warehouse? Did your men not extract several valuable goods from there, enabling you to earn coin?

}}
*'''Naoe:''' ''The man we are hunting is using Samemaru and his pirates to murder the Niwa clan.''

==Outcome==
Naoe and Yasuke investigated Samemaru's hideout in Hiruga Bay, uncovering his meetings with The Performer at a certain estate in Obama's Samurai Yashiki District.
