'''Wolves and Foxes''' 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 travels to [[Yamashiro]] with [[Yasuke]] to look for [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]].

==Dialogue==
Near Uji Tawara, Naoe heard sounds of battle and gunfire. As she got near, she noticed a [[Iga ikki|group]] of [[Iga]]n ''[[shinobi]]'' fighting against the forces of [[Akechi Mitsuhide]].
*'''Naoe:''' ''Are those Igans against Mitsuhide's army? I need to help.''
Naoe assisted her fellow Igans in eliminating the group of [[ronin]] hired by Mitsuhide. After doing so, she went to where Ieyasu was at, under a hut protected by a band of Igan ''shinobi''.
*'''Igan Shinobi 1:''' ''Is that the daughter of [[Fujibayashi Nagato]]?''
*'''Igan Shinobi 2:''' ''She died in the [[Tenshō Iga War|war]].''
*'''Igan Shinobi 1:''' ''No, that's her! She survived.''
*'''Igan Shinobi 2:''' ''Maybe it's her ghost.''
As she approached, Yasuke joined her.
*'''Castle Commander:''' ''Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu! Raise your heads.''
As Naoe and Yasuke got on their knees, the commander stepped aside to allow Lord Ieyasu to speak to them.
*'''Tokugawa Ieyasu:''' ''Timely assistance, Yasuke. I am pleased to see you survived Lord [[Oda Nobunaga|Nobunaga]]'s betrayal.''
The two of them bowed.
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Thank you, my lord. I honor Lord Nobunaga's alliances.''
*'''Tokugawa Ieyasu:''' ''I admire your loyalty. The line does not seem as clear in these tumultuous times. I extend my gratitude to your friend as well. What is your name?''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Thank you, Lord Ieyasu. I am Naoe.''
*'''Tokugawa Ieyasu:''' ''Naoe... ah. The Fujibayashi child.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''You know me?''
*'''Tokugawa Ieyasu:''' ''My [[Hattori Hanzō|associate]] once extended my protection to you. Before the regrettable events of Iga.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Hattori Hanzo served you.''
*'''Tokugawa Ieyasu:''' ''And he continues to do so. A resourceful and loyal man. I count on his support. He will arrive soon. And he will be surprised to see you alive.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Is he escorting you out of the {{Wiki|Kansai}}?''
*'''Tokugawa Ieyasu:''' ''Observant. As most Igans. I am opting for the best strategy the situation prescribes. The [[sword]] may win this battle, but patience will win the war.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''But Mitsuhide got ahead through aggressive means, my Lord.''
*'''Tokugawa Ieyasu:''' ''And yet, in the end, restraint will triumph and ensure prosperity.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''But your forces could help [[Hashiba Hideyoshi]] and the [[Oda clan]].''
*'''Tokugawa Ieyasu:''' ''What would this accomplish? For more than 100 years, vengeance, power, and treason have led to this endless cycle. It will drive Hideyoshi just as it drives Mitsuhide. I stood by Lord Nobunaga's vision, But his [[Honnō-ji incident|assassination]] will have wolves tear each other apart for power. In this moment, it is wiser to be a fox.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Yes, Lord Ieyasu.''
*'''Tokugawa Ieyasu:''' ''The aim is peace. We will usher the people there carefully. It is useless to harm a bird to make it sing. Best to wait for its song.''
Ieyasu looked to his right and saw Hanzo waiting in a distance.
*'''Tokugawa Ieyasu:''' ''Ah, our friend in common has arrived.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Hattori Hanzo.''
*'''Tokugawa Ieyasu:''' ''I hope we can one day continue this conversation. Thank you, both. Your help will not be forgotten.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Until we meet again, Lord Ieyasu.''
Ieyasu then prepared to leave with his Igan followers. Naoe and Yasuke got up.
*'''Naoe:''' ''I should talk with Hanzo. By myself.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''If you need me, you know where I am.''
Naoe left to meet with Hanzo on the road nearby. As she approached, Hanzo left to continue down the road, causing Naoe to follow as well.
*'''Naoe:''' ''Where is he going?''
They reached a tree near the river. Hanzo leaned against the tree and Naoe approached him.
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''Alive, are you?''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Surviving.''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''Your father?''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Dead.''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''Hm. I offered him life and he choise death. Stubborn until the end.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''That's not what happened. You knew [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|what]] he was hiding.''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''The more important question is whether you know.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''A fancy lacquered box.''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''You don't know [[Imperial Regalia of Japan|what's]] inside.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''My father died protecting it. That's all that matters to me.''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''And of course, now it is lost.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''I will find it.''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''You don't have to be a fool like he was. Abandon this quest.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''No. I made a promise.''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''It is a path that only leads to death.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Then why am I still standing?''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''It killed your father, and it killed your [[Tsuyu|mother]]. It will kill you next.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''What does this have to do with my mother?''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''It has everything to do with Tsuyu.<br>You were robbed of an exceptional woman. The best warrior I have ever met.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Tell me more.''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''It's a complicated story and I am not much of a storyteller. But I knew her as well as Nagato did.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Were you close to my father?''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''We were different in every way. The highborn war prodigy and the humble {{Wiki|jizamurai}}'s son. But we were like brothers.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''What changed?''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''Our views. Time. The world is always moving.<br>But most of all, it was those cursed boxes.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Boxes? There's more than one?''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''That is all I will say. Abandon this foolish quest and work with me.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''I gave my word.''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''Open your eyes, Naoe. The world is changing. Your skills have value. Come with me.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''And be the tool of yet another power hungry demon like you?''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''I am not the one chasing ghosts. There is much you don't know.''
Naoe drew our her [[Hidden Blade]].
*'''Naoe:''' ''Enough riddles!''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''You wield your father's blade, but you don't even know what it stands for.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Then tell me!''
*'''Hattori Hanzo:''' ''Just like Tsuyu. I never could change her mind.<br>If this is the path you choose, you will walk it alone. In [[Izumi Settsu|Settsu]], there is a [[Old Kofun|kofun]]. You will find the answers you seek inside.<br>I have to go. My client waits for me. And Naoe... If you ever pull a blade on me again, I will kill you with my bare hands.''
Hanzo took his leave while Yasuke arrived to check on Naoe.
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Are you all right?''
*'''Naoe:''' ''I... I don't know. I think I'm scared.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Well. You are the most courageous person I have ever met. That must count for something.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''It will have to. You can't come with me this time, Yasuke.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''We all have secrets, And we all have to face them one day. Just know that your allies will be there for you if you need us.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''What would I do without you?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I really do not know. Hey! You've got work to do. Get to it.''

==Outcome==
Naoe and Yasuke met with Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was temporarily retreating from {{Wiki|Kansai}}. Naoe later met Hattori Hanzo, who directed her to a [[kofun]] in Settsu to find the answers she needs regarding her father and mother.
