Dialogue

First dialogue

• Ieyasu: You are the one they call Taka? Hanzo spoke highly of you.
• Taka: I am. Hattori Hanzo was a good friend.
• Ieyasu: To me as well. His death raises many questions. Did you investigate?
• Taka: Yes, but found few answers. The fire left little in the way of evidence.
• Ieyasu: What do you suspect?
• Taka: Hanzo had plenty of rivals, but few with the will and ressources to mount such an attack.
• Ieyasu: Then the culprit is meaningless. We must focus on those who do have such resources and will. Only one name comes to mind.
• Taka: You suspect Hideyoshi is behind this?
• Ieyasu: I do, and I would use this travesty to rally more allies against the Toyotomi. But I require proof.
• Taka: Where would you have me look?
• Ieyasu: Date Masamune. He may serve the Toyotomi, but he has no love for them. Still, be cautious as you approach him. His single eye is sharp; more so than most others with a full pair.
• Taka: As is his sword arm, from what I have heard.
• Ieyasu: Also true. I hope that yours can match his, should it come to that.

Reaching Date Masamune

After having killed many groups of Bushi (samuraïs), Rappa (ninjas) and Teppo-shu (archers), around thirty of each, Taka reached Date Masamune.

• Taka: Masamune. I would ask you something.
• Masamune: And I will not answer.
• Taka: Are you not concerned with what I might ask?
• Masamune: I already know. You ask me to betray my allegiances.
• Taka: I seek information, not politics.
• Masamune: You were sent here by Tokugawa Ieyasu, were you not?
• Taka: Yes. To seek out whoever was responsible for Hattori Hanzo's death.
• Masamune: Does he truly suspect me?
• Taka: He suspects you might be able to lead me to the culprit.
• Masamune: And if I refuse to talk?
• Taka: Then you will know no quarter when Ieyasu lays claim to this land.
• Masamune: Ha! So he's set his eyes on Hideyoshi. And I am just another bumbling fool standing in the way.
• Taka: You're no fool.
• Masamune: You are, if you throught it was going to be so simple.

Finding Toyotomi Hideyoshi

After having subdued Date Masamune and killed many guards of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
