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

==Description==
Naoe travelled to [[Nanatsumatsu]] to locate [[Wada Koretake]]'s chief Executioner.

==Dialogue==
Naoe reached the execution site near the town of [[Amagasaki]], overhearing the captives.
*'''Woman:''' ''Please. Let us go.''
*'''Man:''' ''[[Buddha]] protect us.''
*'''Elderly Woman:''' ''You'll all be reborn into hell!''
*'''[[Samurai]]:''' ''Shut up!''
*'''Naoe:''' ''If the guards see me, they'll kill them.''
Naoe got close enough to eavesdrop on the Executioner.
*'''The Executioner:''' ''I am honored to cleanse these lands of traitors to Lord [[Oda Nobunaga]]. Ha! Do not beg like your cowards. Your tears will not stop my blade.''
Despite her best attempts, Naoe was detected and the Executioner and thesurrounding [[soldier]]s attacked her.
*'''[[Shindo Hiroshii]]:''' ''Seize the [[shinobi]]! Put her with the rest of the prisoners.''
After taking care of the soldiers, Naoe faced the Executioner.
*'''Naoe:''' ''Where is Wada Koretake?''
*'''Shindo Hiroshii:''' ''(laughs) I will die before I say!''
*'''Naoe:''' ''So be it.''
After a while, Naoe defeated and killed the executioner, recovering a note from his body.

*'''Naoe:''' ''Kyonyo will be pleased to hear Koretake's location is exposed. We'll need those reinforcements.''
Before leaving, Naoe freed the remaining captives.
*'''Woman:''' ''You saved me!''
*'''Elderly Woman:''' ''Thank you.''
*'''Man:''' ''Thank you for freeing us.''
