Welcome back!

Aokage!

What happened after we got separated?

The enemy captured me and threw me in a cell

But Yuri helped me escape

That man is lying

Huh?

He is a Genyosai minion in disguise

Better kill him

No no no no

Hey

Hey hey hey hey

He is not cut

He is my comrade

Right!

He is my brother

Yeah, my brother!

Wait... hold on

Brother

I did not know you cared that much

Akakage! That is why I believe him

See! That is the kind of man Akakage is!

There is no way he would kill old Kurobei!

Comrades are brothers

Lord Kurobei too was once a brother

Sorry I could not keep my promise

Tell Yuri for me

Rest easy

So you will not have to use this power

I will protect you

It is a promise

Then

The one who killed my father and mother

was Genyosai

Genyosai

Do not get the wrong idea

It does not mean I trust you

See you

We let the enemy slip away again

It is fine this way

Comrade, brother... you are too soft

You have them too, do you not?

Do not make me laugh

They and I are not the same caliber

Because our caliber differs

We can be brothers

Unlike brothers born of one womb

I do not know what you are saying

Whatever

We are leaving soon, right? For the Mori campaign

Very well

Don't die If you can

You too, don't die If you can

I'll be fine

Yeah

Why are you laughing?

Even I can tell

When did you stop looking away?

I hear you let the shadow escape

You acted on your own

I apologized to Genyosai

Blend with the wind better

You saw through us?

As expected of the famed Master Mugen

The wind smells different

Just that That is all

We are shinobi of the Oda clan

By our lord Oda Nobunaga, on a secret mission

We hunt Koga Genyosai leader of Kinme

But Kinme was first founded by Mugen

So we came here

I see

Genyosai has a mysterious sorcery that sees through hearts

He exposed me once

Among you, there is one who

does not believe in Kinme

What?!

You... you... huh?

Huh?

You spy of Demon King Nobunaga!

How did you know?

Receive Lord Kinme's divine punishment!

Mugen still visits Kasumi Valley

and urges believers to wake up

Nevertheless

Genyosai cannot see through him

nor is his mind controlled

You already know the answer

For example, this sword

I sense it but cannot see light

I knew it

Mugen

You are blind

Indeed

If you avoid Genyosai's eyes

he cannot see through your heart

nor expose your identity

And in the end you cannot be controlled

You came only to confirm that?

No not only that

To seize Genyosai alive I, Akakage, too

I wish to accompany you to Kasumi Valley

You coming with us to Kasumi Valley?

It is clear: if war breaks out Genyosai will use his followers as shields

A frontal assault will not work

I must decline

Huh? Why?

I cannot trust sword-bearers

Kinda sorry

We will not kill needlessly That is why we wish to join you

Then can you make me trust you

How

Well...

Yeah

Then please tell it

Your path here, so to speak

A story

A story?

Who starts? You go

I can't

Then

I will

Then I'll

Then I will

Please, go ahead

Well then

The founder's name is Genyosai

What is his aim?

From my lord

To seize the realm

We send shinobi to investigate

Born in Hida

Heir to the Kage clan that rules there The Kage clan? The one from the rumors?

That man

does not call himself a samurai A shinobi is a shinobi only in the shadows

That power

must never be shown to anyone in the light

That is his creed

We will hold a test to pick top ninja

Will you take it?

Nobunaga? Serve the Oda as a ninja?

I hate shinobi

to serve one

who calls himself Demon King

Not in the slightest

Do not anger me

When something irks you

you rage and force others to tiptoe around you

A toxic relic

Fool

Never call me a relic again

That was needless

Do not interfere

He got swallowed

What's wrong?

Now go

Not words of the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven

Stories about our Lord out there are lies

In truth our Lord

loves all living things and is a gentle soul who longs for peace

However

in these turbulent times

for Rule All Under Heaven by Military Force

and chooses not to deny such false tales

He chose to live as a Demon King

In this world

There are good lies and bad lies

Ninjutsu... Used well it can be a good lie

I am no ordinary shinobi

Can you handle me Lord Nobunaga?

Interesting

From now on

I will treat you as my brother

Wait wait

Brother

Did my lord say that to you?

Did you know?

News to me!

Annoying

Next is Aokage

I will not be outdone

I'll tell our friendship tale!

Help!

Please help me

Bandits are after me!

Huh?

You are the thief

How did you know?

Because

I can tell by your eyes

Interesting

Way too strong

You back then

Yeah me the one from back then

I am from Iga

I am a rogue shinobi from Iga

someone not a retainer of the Oda clan has slipped in

Yikes!

I want you to find that interloper now

You said we can tell by the eyes

Right?

You all realized it far too late

A woman?

Hey What is it?

I will not cut a woman

An honor to meet you I was delighted

Reinforcements are here!

You are alive, Hanbei

How did the examination go?

Not just this one, another

One to be the Oda clan's shadow

It is fine

Oh! We meet again!

So from now, I entrust it to the shadow

The enemy is Kinme Be ready and proceed with care

Yes

Why call yourself Shirokage?

Former strategist Takenaka Hanbei is dead

So I take a new name Then from this moment

You are Aokage

You are Akakage

Akakage

Akakage at your service

And that is how we became one

Hey

Hey

Hey

Next, Shirokage

After that the Lord sent Hideyoshi west

He decided to send Lord Kazumasu east on campaign

Well

But behind it

Shirokage... or rather

it was the wisdom of the genius strategist Takenaka Hanbei

At council the Lord sends Hideyoshi west

and Lord Kazumasu east on campaign

Hanbei What do you think?

Takenaka Hanbei is dead

Now I am Shirokage so...

Please, somehow

the greatest genius strategist

Lord Hanbei's wisdom we humbly ask

The greatest?

genius strategist

Uh-huh

Hideyoshi

peerless under heaven

and?

unheard of

and?

unprecedented

Hey hey hey Mitsunari Mitsunari Yes

peerless of all time

and?

unparalleled

and?

without equal

"I am supreme above and below the heavens"

Lord Hanbei

Please stop you flatter me too much

Your wisdom

Hideyoshi, please do as the Lord says

But still

If Hideyoshi and Lord Kazumasu are absent from Azuchi

Who will protect the Lord?

Surely not you lot

Do not worry

Not just us, Oda clan retainers are elite

What you should picture instead is a balance

A balance?

a thin defense at the center

attacking Mori and Hojo at the same time

when you weigh these two on the balance

taking Mori and Hojo at once is clearly heavier

clearly the wiser move

Besides you are at the center

High risk High return

It used to be

Low risk

High return

has become

I don't get a word of that

Lord Hideyoshi this is Western European language

Western European

Anyway I don't really get it but amazing

As expected I am supreme above and below the heavens

Huh He actually gets along with Hideyoshi

He is a strategist

News to me

News to me

That sounds fun too

I wanted to see you, Akakage

So shocked you cannot speak?

Demon King Oda Nobunaga

Revering him as kin is a mistake

Silence!

You were betraying the Lord?

Lord Kazumasu

Genyosai and I are brothers born of one womb

About that does my lord know?

After I fulfill my duty I will tell him

What is that duty?

Yes!

To kill my brother

Even at the cost of my life

What is a brother really?

Comrade

A brother is a comrade

A comrade is a brother

You and I too

A comrade is a brother

Is that so

Will you now trust us?

Yes I understand your purpose

In that case

Let us go

To Kasumi Valley

Oh

Lord Kinme show us your form

Receive Lord Kinme's divine punishment
