The Path He Walks was a virtual representation of one of Yasuke's genetic memories, relived through the Animus EGO.

Description

Yasuke travels to Kyoto to seek out his old friend, the Jesuit Luís Fróis.

Dialogue

Yasuke arrived at the Jesuit Residences in Kyoto, where he met his former associate Luís Fróis at the pond.

• Luis Frois: Do my eyes deceive me? Diogo, is that you, my friend?
• Yasuke: (laughs) I am called Yasuke now, Luis.
• Luis Frois: (laughs) Right! It will take some time for me to get used to that.

Frois approached Yasuke.

• Luis Frois: Time has robbed us of each other, my friend. I had hoped dearly that we would meet again.
• Yasuke: I feel the same.
• Luis Frois: We did not talk much when we last met. Circumstances were difficult, so to speak. But look at you now—samurai in your own right! To think this is your reality.
• Yasuke: Hm. Much has happened since.
• Luis Frois: I will not tell you lies. Things have been trying since Lord Nobunaga's death. The realm is unbalanced, and no one knows from which direction the next army will come. But I have been keeping above ground. Oh! I have also been hearing rumor of an interesting duo, a shinobi and a samurai, causing no small chaos in this land.
• Yasuke: (laughs) After Lord Nobunaga's death, I have been running with a band of... allies, you could say. We are a varied mix, but we share ideals.
• Luis Frois: It is tragic how he left us. (sighs) To put your trust in the wrong hands...
• Yasuke: I will forever be indebted to Lord Nobunaga, he who honored me. At the very least, he found death the way he wanted to.
• Luis Frois: As much as we wish to be the masters of our fate, Christ has his own grand designs.

Yasuke followed Frois to a tree by the pond.

• Luis Frois: Why have you come to me? I take your return to Kyoto as no coincidence.

Yasuke took out the letter he recovered from Duarte de Melo and handed it over to Frois to read.

• Yasuke: I found a letter. I cannot fully understand it, so I was hoping you could tell me.
• Luis Frois: It is an oath to the Templar Order.
• Yasuke: You know them.
• Luis Frois: Si (Yes). I have heard of them when I was in Italy. The Pope and three great houses were involved. The House of Borgia was one of them, a prominent noble family. They caused a lot of turmoil in Rome. Their thirst for power nearly ruined the city. I was there before I worked with Valignano.
• Yasuke: What happened to them?
• Luis Frois: Eradicated, mysteriously. They say a secret organization put an end to their conspiracies, but not much is known. This letter is addressed to Duarte de Melo. Does this name mean anything to you?
• Yasuke: He was a slaver. Someone who did not deserve the mercy of death.
• Luis Frois: What happened to him?
• Yasuke: I ended his life.
• Luis Frois: Was he someone you knew?
• Yasuke: He was someone from my past. Another demon.
• Luis Frois: It says here that someone called Kimura Kei is training a group of secret warriors at a school in Kii. They will serve someone called... Nuno Caro.
• Yasuke: Caro.
• Luis Frois: You know this name?
• Yasuke: I worked for him. Before you and I met.
• Luis Frois: Ah, I remember when we pulled you out! That piece of wood you were drifting on was at the end of its life.
• Yasuke: It is good that you found me Luis. Let us leave it at that.
• Luis Frois: Even more fortunate for us. You were a great asset to Valignano. You've never painted a clear picture of how you were left floating in the open sea as you were.
• Yasuke: I was on a ship with a few others. It was destroyed.
• Luis Frois: Well, safe to surmise that this Duarte de Melo, and Nuno Caro, are part of the Templar Order.
• Yasuke: Hm. Then I must find this Kimura Kei.

Outcome

Yasuke was reunited with Frois, who helped provided some information regarding the Templar Order that Duarte, Kei, and Nuno were part of.
