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.'' | |||

*'''Samurai 1:''' ''I still grieve Lord {{Wiki|Asakura Yoshikage|Yoshikage}}'s passing. Without his guidance, life has no meaning.'' | |||

*'''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.'' | |||
