			Naoe and Yasuke traveled to the town of [[Shingū]] in eastern Kii. By the shore, they found the [[The Pathway Yamabushi\|yamabushi imposter]].
			*'''Naoe/Yasuke:''' ''A traveling Yamabushi... With a weapon? He is one of the imposters I've been searching for.''
			*'''Yamabushi:''' ''Come, my fellow wanderers! Cross my path and see what happens! Come! Join my list of death!''

			Naoe and Yasuke then headed north to eastern coast of Kii and found a [[Path of the Chosen\|trail]] off the main road leading up the mountain's cliffside. They overheard a pair of children talking about an attack by a yamabushi.
			*'''Child 1:''' ''A Yamabushi attacked my brother! On the way to the shrine! He... he ran away up the cliffside. Climbing and leaping like a monkey!''
			*'''Child 2:''' ''You're telling stories.''
			*'''Child 1:''' ''Am not! I can show you my brother's bloody bandages.''
			*'''Child 2:''' ''Gross! Okay, show me.''
			Naoe navigated her way up the trees and fallen tree logs, reaching the cliffside. Inside a small cavern, she found a body.
	*'''Naoe:''' ''Another victim of this imposter.''		*'''Naoe:''' ''Another victim of this imposter.''

	*'''Naoe:''' ''What?''		*'''Yamabushi:''' ''Takes a lot to get all the way up here. I'll hang your corpse somewhere special.''
			\|-\|Yasuke=
			*'''Yasuke:''' ''It looks like I'm not the only one on the trail today.''

			*'''Yamabushi:''' ''You may be on our side, but you're not one of us. Leave my hunting grounds or be hunted yourself, samurai.''
			Yasuke ignored his words and attacked him.

	*'''Clifftop Yamabushi:''' ''Die!''		*'''Clifftop Yamabushi:''' ''Die!''
	[]		After an intense fight, Naoe and Yasuke eliminated the Clifftop Yamabushi.
	*'''Naoe:''' ''That man was deranged. How long has he been out here, hunting people? How long has he been alone? And he said, "For Lord Nobunaga." Another Yamabushi imposter with that name on his breath.''		*'''Naoe:''' ''That man was deranged. How long has he been out here, hunting people? How long has he been alone?

			</tabber>
			Naoe and Yasuke traveled to [[Mount Hiei]] in Omi to track down the last [[The Pond Yamabushi\|imposter]]. Passing by a pond, they overheard a couple talking.
			*'''Man:''' ''I went to meditate on the mountain near the shrine, and I felt like I was being hunted.''
			*'''Woman:''' ''Your mind was wandering.''
			*'''Man:''' ''No! I felt it. Like something was lurking in the shadows. Waiting for me.''
			Naoe and Yasuke went pass the pond and up the mountain finding a meditation spot near a shrine. Naoe sat down and performed her ''[[kuji-kiri]]''. Halfway through, she felt an approaching presence from behind. Just as an individual swung his blade, Naoe dodged and found herself confronted by the yamabushi imposter. Yasuke joined her in defeating and eliminated the enemy, recovering a note from his body.

'''The Tournament''' 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 meets a ''{{Wiki|yamabushi}}'' named [[Genpaku]] in [[Yamato]].

==Dialogue==
At the entrance to the [[Path of Serenity]], Naoe and Yasuke found the ''yamabushi'' Genpaku standing next to a shrine. As they approached him, the monk freaked out and took a guarded stance.
*''"Genpaku:''' ''Step no closer, stranger. I am no imposter.''
Naoe and Yasuke approached and spoke to him regardless.
*'''Genpaku:''' ''Don't hurt me, please!''
<tabber>
|-|Naoe=
*'''Naoe:''' ''What? I wouldn't hurt you.''
|-|Yasuke=
*'''Yasuke:''' ''What? I would not hurt you.''

*'''Genpaku:''' ''Yoshiharu may be short-tempered, but I am glad he sent you my way. How is he?''

*'''Yasuke:''' ''Both he and his granddaughter are safe. But on the road, they were attacked by someone pretending to be a Yamabushi.''

|-|If The Monk's Wake is not completed=
*'''Naoe/Yasuke:''' ''What do you mean "them?"''
</tabber>
*'''Genpaku:''' ''Suddenly rumours of murderous monks are everywhere. True Yamabushi are ascetic wanderers. We shirk earthly pleasures to connect deeply with nature. It is our practice. Accomplished Yamabushi exorcise evil spirits. We are healers.''
*'''Naoe/Yasuke:''' ''So these imposters not only give a bad name to your practice, they harm others.''
*'''Genpaku:''' ''They wear our robes as costumes. A cover to attack unsuspecting innocents. Stop them. Bring peace to our mountains again.''

==Outcome==
Naoe and Yasuke assisted Genpaku in eliminating the ''yamabushi'' imposters, clearing their name of their violent deeds.
