"My letter just said to come here and it was signed by somene called Yoshihairy if I can clearly see the letters"

Takeo stood up and walked towards a book. He opened it and then said "Dad". Rufus was confused, he stood up and went to see the book and saw that it was a book of poisons and antidotes. It was turned to a page that talked about Fugu Fish.

He then asked Takeo "Do you know anythig aboutthis book? Why did you say Dad?"

Takeo looked up to see Rufus beside him.

"My dad was an assassin, he was murdered. Poison from fish the Fugu killed him"

Rufus's confusion was gone. He went to start another conversation but thought not, both of them were silent for the next minute before Takeo said

"Sorry about that, i just never really knew my farther"

Rufus quickly decided to comfort Takeo

"Takeo your only human, it does not make you weak to feel sadness"

Suddenly a tremendous coughing fit was heard to the left of the two, making them both jump in fright, breaking the deep emotional moment. Moreover, the sight of this coughing and sputtering man was even more terrifying, considering the sword he was holding, which was incidently covered blood.

"well thats not a good start is it" ironicly remarked Yoshihairo - the sword-bearing cougher (coughing and spluttering partly from the frantic run and partly from the smoky scene that he'd previously been at). "I am Master Yoshihairo Boruton, Daimyo's head of security. According to my research I have before me the best ninjas of the east and the west. Time to put that to the test, should you wish to accept my challenge"

A messenger entered to the room and bowed to the men present. He then started to speak to Yoshihairo.

"I apologise for my intrusion but I bring a message from our hounourable Lord Hirotada. He has requested that you take a look at this message." The messenger handed over a small note and then quickly left. Yoshihairo read the note.

"Yoshihairo-san,

A short slim man wearing peasant clothing made his way into my hall earlier today with a ransom demand causing great insult. He is soon to return to his masters to inform them of my reply, which was less then polite. I want you to send who you deem necessary to follow this man back to his masters to find out who they are and where they are based. They are then to report directly back to me with their findings. This man should be found wandering around the market stalls; he will not be hard to spot, he will be flanked by guards.

How is the hunt for Motohisa goin? I have received no update in some time and I am growing impatient.

Hirotada."

A pale face. Yoshairo's thought racing: "Oh no, the daimyo probably knows about the samurai, and he was my only lead to finding the tatami master, what am I to do!". Suddenly it hit him: "The sword yes, thats a lead!"

Yoshihairo gulped before requesting that a message be sent to the daimyo. The message was: "Unfortunately, the samurai, whom I was interrogating has been killed. The killer is currently being identified. However, dont worry because I have a strong lead. Yoshihairo"

The messenger bowed and left to deliver the message.

Yoshihairo turned to the 'dynamic duo' and said "I realise this is all rather sudden, but ninjas have to be quick witted and always ready for any chalenge. Rufus, I want you to seek and spy on this man who gave the ransom demand. Find out who hes working for, slash with, and where he's based, what his plans are and report straight to the daimyo. Takeo, pack your bags, because your travelling to Kaga to find a man of this description: bald, fairly short, blue robes with red images. Find him, catch him, interrogate him, I need answers concerning the Tatami master. If these 'red images' happen to be dragons, tell me as soon as possible." He turns to walk away. As he's walking away he calls back "Oh and both of you, be careful"

Icorisu walked into the office of the daimyo's security not sure of what to say. he had resived the letter at the camp and had asked for the general to give him leave to do this as Bishamonten said this would be the second of three tasks to regain his honor

"Hello Yoshairo-sama I was given a message that I was to go here to join the security counsel I am Icorisu Nobunaga former master of the sword school of sagami pleased to make your acquainted it it seames I am the first one here I will sit over here to the right" he bowed and went to his seat

Suddenly, a man walks into the room with an entourage of 4 men, bringing with them an aura of surprising terror... This man means business. The man is of above-average height, wearing tattered garb of an artisan, covered with a large vestments akin to a nanban spanish poncho, which seems to have a bulge running down the man's right side... In the exact shape of a blade more than 3 ft long. All the men are wearing bluish black clothing, with the entourage noticeably carrying numerous throwing weapons and short blades. Icorisu glances over to the shortest one and ominously sees several vials of poison. The leading man holds up a hand to the approaching guards and the cease in their tracks. He clears his throat.

"I am Kenshin, of the province of Mino. My family was killed in a Hattori raid when I was 12, sparking my thirst for revenge and training in the art of ninjitsu. I wish to offer my services and become a lieutenant of your new security team. These are my loyal allies, trained in deception, assassination, and scouting. If you need a man killed or an army stopped, we will happily carry this out... With precision."

A guard overcomes presence of Kenshin and his shadowy assailants and speaks up

"you dare enter this house of the exalted and honored Daimyo, and speak with such insolence?! You will die, you filthy peas---"

The guard stops in a flash as Kenshin lunges and puts a wakizashi at the the base of the guard's Adams-apple. The movement was barely seen.

"speak again, and you will never speak again."
Kenshin brings the wakizashi back to it's sheathe, walks calmly to the opposite end of the room and sits down with his cohorts. Taking a scroll with a shogi board sketched on it, he begins a game with the shortest assassin of the group. Looking over to Icorisu, he smirks and tips his tattered, straw kasa to where his entire face, except for his mouth are engulfed in shadow. Satisfied with his entrance and intimidation, he begins his game, awaiting the other applicants.

"Thank you, I will have your release paper's signed up soon." Hirotada turned away from the cell door and set off up the eerily damp and dark corridor of the prison. He had just finished an enlightening conversation with one of the new prisoners. He had been informed of some interesting developments, developments that did not come entirely as a shock but it was reassuring to have his suspicions confirmed.

After traversing half the castle he finally reached his destination, the Security Council. The guards that were stood outside the door hastily slid it open and Hirotada entered. He looked around and noticed two new additions, most likely men who had taken up his offer of a job here after just missing out on an officers role. Everyone hastily stood up, clearly they were not expecting the Daimyo to enter the council chambers in person.

"Greetings to all of you. I will do my best to keep this brief." Hirotada took a few more steps inside the chambers and then indicated for everyone to take their seats once again.

"As the Tokugawa wage war against the second superpower of Japan and as we expand ever closer to the gates of Kyoto, there are going to be several people who do not take kindly to such advancements. I have made many enemies throughout my time as head of this clan and it was only a matter of time before one of them or the Shogun himself sought underhanded ways to bring our clan to its knees. I am not about to allow that to happen."
The goal of this council here is simple. You will all take responsibility for ensuring that Mikawa is suitably defended should things turn sour in the future. " Hirotada reached into his Kimono and pulled out a large sack. He threw it onto the ground next to Yoshihario.

"This is enough Koku to accomplish what I ask. I want this Council to ensure that we have eyes and ears across the city, rooting out any problems before they become too large and reporting anything out of the ordinary. I also want you to start to muster a force together to defend the city. There will be hundreds of men willing to give their lives for this clan, find the best of them and bring them into your ranks. Once your force is complete, I expect it to be making regular patrols around the city looking for trouble. If any is encountered you have my full authority to snuff it out by any means necessary."

"Yoshihairo you are in charge of co-ordinating this effort, ensure your fellow council members are put to good use, there is much work to be done. My officers and I are busy enough with the war against the Hattori, we cannot be sidetracked by other matters. That is all."

Hirotada nodded at the men present and left them to ponder what he had said.

After the daimyo left the room, Kenshin folded up the scroll and placed it in his knapsack. Motioning to his men he walked over to Yoshihairo and Icorisu, bowing to them.

"allow me to introduce my group as it seems we will be working together and it makes little sense to not trust each other fully, with such an important task given to us. Shingen, our subterfuge expert. There is nothing he can not see or reveal. Daisuke, our interrogator. There are no secrets safe from him. Hikaru, our saboteur. There is nothing he can not destroy or stop in its tracks. And finally, Yuki, our assassin. There is no one she cannot... Remove from our sights."

At this point, Icorisu looked over to Yuki, the shortest one who played the shogi game, was a woman. Noticing his stare, Kenshin spoke up.

"do not be off put by her sex, I assure you, she is truly fearsome."

Yoshihairo cleared his throat and began.

"I do not need to reiterate the importance of this council. Kenshin, would you be able to better assess this rebellion or recruit willing citizens to our cause?"

"I will go to the castle town of Kyoto and begin my work. My cohorts will be able to gather information about this arising threat and report back to me. I have an old acquaintance in Kyoto who will be able to aid us. If either of you need to contact me, there is an old man who runs an inn at the crossroads outside of Mino. Give him your message, and he will relay it to me via carrier pigeon. That being said, I would like to coordinate our groups efforts with Icorisu. What do you suggest, newfound ally?"

Icorisu stands an expression of anger "We have all seen or heared of the crime that has come or worse I propose we go to the people to gather support against our foes like any Hattori agents random raids or Bishamonten forbid a coordinated assault by nanban who don't like us who dare side with the shogun over thier daimyo. Kenshin you are no doute connected to mant mercenary groups we can gather and I have friends in all the major warrior trainers all samurai of Yari bow naginata no-dachi and katana we could have thousands flock to our banner to defend thier home and loved ones!"he visably calms "And also I would like to go out snd start the recrutment of major clan members to aid in this venture." with that he sat prepared for any responce "then alost as an after though he says and also I would like to lead our forces if and when we face these rebellious knaves in battle"

Kenshin crossed his arms.

"you are right in the assumption of my connections. If you would wish to go for the direct approach, we shall do that. I propose gathering those trained in riding horses. We can recruit 3-4 troops of Yari cavalry, and pair them with the same number of bow cavalry. Then have them patrol around Mikawa each season. If they engage in any traitorous rebels, we give them preset orders for the bows to harass the enemy, while the heavy cavalry swing around and batter their rear. Do you approve of this?"

"I agree with that suggestion whole heartily but I would agree with a combination of bath the Direct and more...quiet approach use you men to the best of their abilities but I would like you to promise me the right to lead any major battles due to the fact that if we fight an expirienced general it would be better to have the most expirienced general lead us

He did not mention the if he fights a grand battle he could regain much favor with Bishamonten

"I have no objection to you leading, as I am merely interested in providing tactics for you and I also prefer to pull the strings."

Kenshin looks around and motions to Shingen.

"after reviewing the situation in central Honshu, I suggest a course of action against Iga." said Shingen, his voice strong and firm, yet soft "The quality ninjitsu school and criminal network located in the city and province will aid the daimyo and Tyne nation. If I can infiltrate the city, I will report back with their defences. Then Yuki can follow me and eliminate any serious threats. The monk in the province will have no chance to incite revolt much to the Daimyo's chagrin, and it will aid our efforts to control it. I will report soon."

With that, Shingen gave a map to Kenshin, bowed to Icorisu and Yoshihairo, and walked out of the room. Kenshin sat down, gesturing the others to do the same, he removed his kasa, and overturned it, revealing a variety of notes about troop movements and, most menacingly, a short dagger in the nanban style. He then laid out the map and several figurines.

"here is our position in the Kyoto region. The Daimyo's son, Ieyasu, is located with a tactically superior force in Tamba, with a relief force outside the fortress. The army stopped by one of the daimyo's ninja would not be able to take it on it's own. We also have another full army in omi, which is the choke point between Hattori and Tokugawa lands. Our position is easily defended, and Shingen's proposal makes sense. Depending on the numerical and building strength of Iga, we could probably take it easily with that relief force outside of Tamba. I have also suggested to the Daimyo in a private letter on a course of invasion towards the back of Hattori territory, but we can discuss that later. I will stay here, along with Daisuke. Yuki and Hikaru, I want you to follow a day's journey behind Shingen and wait for his orders."

Yuki and Hikaru stood up, and acknowledged with a quick bow and "hai"

When they left, Kenshin turned towards Icorisu and extended his hand.

"take this with you when you leave for Mikawa. It is a nanban 'florin', much different from our koku. When you arrive, take this to the governor, he will recognize it as a sign from me, he will aid your recruiting efforts. If you are captured and replaced with an imposter, he will not show this coin and will be imprisoned. I pray this does not happen, but as we have many enemies, we must ensure who our allies really are. Do not lose it."

As Icorisu pondered over the coin, Kenshin whispered a command into Daisuke's ear.

"now" Kenshin said "what would you suggest we do with our metsuke and monks?"

"fair enough, your friends can identify you. As for agents, I propose that we send 2-3 well trained metsuke into Hattori lands to bribe and arrest their agents. Our ninjas should stay near Kyoto to intercept any threats. Perhaps our monks would be better used in the middle Hattori territories to incite revolts to split the lands of the Hattori in 2. Does this sound agreeable?"
