	Following the loss of all of her subordinates, Saito was recruited by Edward into the Zhang Wei Union.

	In 1725, the [[Templars\|Templar]]-affiliated [[Shimazu clan]] began a search for the lost [[Khmer Empire\|Khmer]] city of [[Angkor]] and dispatched [[Shimazu Saito]] to look for leads in [[Macau]].

	The tensions between the Japanese and mixed-blood ninja culminated during a mission to acquire a confiscated [[opium]] shipment from a [[Far East Company]] [[ship]] on Sun's behalf. While Saito fought against Edward, who sought to destroy the shipment, the Japanese ninja expressed their discontent over their treatment and got into a fight with the mixed-blood ninja.
