ACT 4 -The March at Sekigahara

"Time is an essence to victory" Ieyasu said to his men as they were preparing for the march. They were ready to move now to Sekigahara but they must also slip in unnoticed as Nami-Rei said.

 

The ninjas are also prepared now the only problem is that they are loking for their leader.

 

"Where is he?" Ryuuji asked

 

"Fear not for I have returned." Nami-Rei said.

 

"Master where have you been?" Ryaku asked.

 

"I just prayed for a little bit. Now we are ready to go." Nami-Rei added.

 

And so now they go to their march. As they went along, they passed through beautiful scenery. They saw rivers , forests and other things that made Japan a beautiful nation.

 

"It's really hard to believe that a beautiful nation like ours is at war with our own race." Ikeda said.

 

"I know. Why are there wars anyway? can't we just solve this by talking?" one of the soldiers said.

 

"Things were really simple back then, when talking was the only way to solve problems" Nami-Rei said.

 

"Yeah." The other soldier replied.

 

"After this war.. we will be at peace, I guarantee it." Ieyasu said with conviction.

 

"No peace will follow after this war....for I have seen what' is going to happen.... a bloody tragedy will happen in Ieyasu's shogunate.....The Bakumatsu will be ruined...." Nami-Rei thought.

 

"Are we there yet?" asked one of the impatient soldiers.

 

"Not by a long shot. Sekigahara is a really faraway place." replied by one of the lieutenants.

 

"Patience is a virtue young one" Nami-Rei said.

 

"Yeah but I'm gettin tired." the impatient soldier replied.

 

"I know. I'm tired too.." Nami-Rei replied.

 

"You don't look tired." the impatient soldier said.

 

Nami-Rei just chucjled a little and they moved on their way.

 

They were nearing their destination now. They are now in the outskirts of Sekigahara, when Nami-Rei sensed something unpleasant.

 

"An aura.....of an assassin." he thought.

 

Then as he sensed that the assassin was getting nearer he jumped then pulled out his sword and sliced the head of the assassin. The body of the assassin fell to the groung. Dead.

 

"They knew....that we were coming.." Kato said.

 

"Well....let's just see who stays alive....." Nami-Rei said as he prepared for the war that was about to unfold.
