*'''Yasuke:''' ''What kind of a man is he?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''What kind of a man is he?''
*'''Oda Ronin:''' ''More of a talker than a fighter. As is the case with such men, his words shouldn't be trusted, yet... might prove useful nevertheless.''

*'''Yasuke:''' ''Should they do so in my presence, it would be an unfortunate mistake.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Should they do so in my presence, it would be an unfortunate mistake.''
Yasuke left the inn and traveled to Koyasan, reaching the [[Okunoin Cemetery]] where he found a large gathering of ronin.
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Kumabe Ujiie should be close. I will walk among the ronin. See if I can find him.''
He eavesdropped on a nearby pair of ronin after crossing a bridge.
*'''Ronin Staffmaster 1:''' ''Surely no one had a better command of cavalry than Lord [[Uesugi Kenshin]].''
*'''Ronin 3:''' ''After {{Wiki|Battles of Kawanakajima|Kawanakajima}}, I suspect the {{Wiki|Takeda clan}} would agree.''
He found a ronin kneeling in front of a gravestone.
*'''Ronin 4:''' ''I am lost, my lord. Our clan, a mere shadow. The shame I feel... unbearable.''
Opposite him, Yasuke found two ronin that served the {{Wiki|Asakura clan}} kneeling in front of another gravestone.
*'''Samurai 1:''' ''I still grieve Lord {{Wiki|Asakura Yoshikage|Yoshikage}}'s passing. Without his guidance, life has no meaning.''
*'''Samurai 2:''' ''I hear there is a man who recruits the forsaken. Offers fresh hope.''
*'''Samurai 1:''' ''With our lord gone, our clan is a waning dream.''
*'''Samurai 2:''' ''We should find Kumabe Ujiie and hear him out properly this time.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''They are men of courage, honor, and loyalty. It pains me to witness so much squandered potential.''
Nearby, Yasuke found two ronin wearing [[samurai]] armor that had served under [[Takeda Shingen]].
*'''Ronin 5:''' ''Remember {{Wiki|Battle of Mikatagahara|Mikatagahara}}, serving under Lord Shingen?''
*'''Ronin 6:''' ''We were true Takeda that day. The [[Oda clan|Oda]] and {{Wiki|Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa}} clans stood no chance.''
After looking around for a while, Yasuke found that a shrine had been erected for his former lord Nobunaga.
*'''Yasuke:''' ''It is too soon for Lord Nobunaga to have a shrine here... In his absence, I can make use of this one to catch the eye of Kumabe Ujiie.''
Near Nobunaga's shrine, Yasuke found a ronin praying in front of a shrine for Takeda Shingen.
*'''Ronin 7:''' ''Lord Shingen, your valor was unmatched. Our clan lost a true leader.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''The grief, the shame, the hopelessness.''
Behind the Nobunaga shrine, Yasuke eavesdropped on two samurai who served the {{Wiki|Mori clan}}.
*'''Samurai Duelist:''' ''Lord [[Mōri Motonari|Motonari]] was unrivaled in cunning and courage.''
*'''Ronin Staffmaster 2:''' ''At {{Wiki|Battle of Miyajima|Miyajima}}, the {{Wiki|Ōuchi clan|enemies}} of the Mori met their match.''
Yasuke went back down and prayed in front of the shrine to Nobunaga.
*'''Yasuke:''' ''My lord, your vision and courage guide us still. The wisdom you impaired and the battles we faced together have deeply shaped me. As your humble servant, I am forever grateful and honored to have served alongside you.''
As he expected, Kumabe Ujiie arrived and took notice of him.
*'''Kumabe Ujiie:''' ''Can that be Oda Nobunaga's famous giant?''
Yasuke spoke to him.
*'''Yasuke:''' ''You know me. But who are you?''
*'''Kumabe Ujiie:''' ''A humble purveyor of hope. Kumabe Ujiie. At your most esteemed service. I serve a most illustrious lord. The legend, Kimura Kei.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I have not heard of him.''
*'''Kumabe Ujiie:''' ''He's a seeker of lost souls. Men of substance, now adrift, drowning in their shame. He offers the guidance they yearn for.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I am one such seeker of guidance. I would like to meet this Kimura Kei.''
*'''Kumabe Ujiie:''' ''Good, good. Come with me. I will show you the way to enlightenment.''
Yasuke followed Kumabe Ujiie and his guards.
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Is Lord Kei here?''
*'''Kumabe Ujiie:''' ''You will soon know. Come. We will gather the rest.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''So many ronin join Lord Kei's cause.''
*'''Kumabe Ujiie:''' ''Lord Kei does not only welcome former samurai. He accepts all warriors eager to learn. Be they [[ashigaru]]... or foreigner.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''From whom does your lord take his commands?''
*'''Kumabe Ujiie:''' ''There's some [[Nuno Caro|southern barbarian]] he answers to. Of fairer complexion than you. But that arrangement is a mere formality. Lord Kei is independent in his efforts.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Why would heally himself with a foreigner, then?''
*'''Kumabe Ujiie:''' ''His actions do not always seem agreeable to his allies, but soon you will witness the success of his methods. He believes in the cause, not its foreign advocates.''
Ujiie's group met up with more ronin followers.
*'''Kumabe Ujiie:''' ''Here you are. Follow me.''
Yasuke continued following Ujiie's group while asking more questions.
*'''Yasuke:''' ''You claim Lord Kei plans a coup against his commander. Does he not fear the consequences if his plans go awry?''
*'''Kumabe Ujiie:''' ''Lord Kei is a stranger to fear. He once sacrificed the eldest of his two daughters in exchange for victory.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''His youngest must worry what will become of her future. As for Lord Kei, he sounds formidable.''
*'''Kumabe Ujiie:''' ''Indeed. He possesses an unwavering conviction and a resolute purpose.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''And what does he hope to achieve?''
*'''Kumabe Ujiie:''' ''Control. Order. Discipline. Unlike Nobunaga, Lord Kei does not hide what he is. He embraces it.''
The group reached more ronin who wishes to join Ujiie's group.
*'''Kumabe Ujiie:''' ''Sorry to keep you waiting. This way.''
Ujiie's group soon reaching the assembly point, where he addressed the group of eager recruits including Yasuke.
*'''Kumabe Ujiie:''' ''Let us commence.<br>I see potential in each of you. The road ahead is challenging, but with hard work, you may one day join the ranks of the [[Saiseisha]]. To get to the training ground, head southwest. May your dedication and discipline guide you to greatness.''
As the group scattered, Yasuke reflected on what had transpired.
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Perhaps Kimura Kei can guide me to Nuno Caro. He is no better than [[Duarte de Melo]]. Another power-hungry man willing to go to any lengths to expand his influence. No matter the cost.''
