He notices, strangely, that not one of the attackers was killed. There aren't clues as to the killer's identities, but he notices that many of the dead were killed in clean blows, suggesting that the assassins had the advantage of surprise.
He moans out loudly. "Ahhh, I need your men to...attack...the castle...ah! Cause a distraction, and my men will kill my father. Oh, yes... Then, I will open the gates for Clan Yokuboo, and take down the Kasawara banners."
Jian finished his investigation, and returned to Sanada.
"The guards were good, very good." He grabs his chin, thinking quietly. "I do recognise it. It's the symbol of a very dangerous shinobi, a mad dog cast out from his clan for his bloodthirst. If he's after us... This could be bad."
Her daughter smirks, bouncing as she rides the young lord. Leaving the castle, Kina recieves many looks, a woman of her beauty and proportions almost unheard of in such a backwater, but she manages to get out of sight and enter the specified warehouse. As the slave walks in, she feels the back of her kimono lifted up to expose her skin, and a powerful slap impacts against her ass cheek. For all his frailty, Hattori has always been good at striking her ass with just the right amount of force to drive her crazy. She feels the young lord lean in towards her neck. "Report."
'It would be,' Jian nodded but his eyes narrowed, 'But why would one of our Samurai be clutching his medallion in his hand? They were all killed very cleanly, I didn't see any signs of struggle. And if he wanted to leave his calling card, he'd leave it on Lord Jurobei, no? It's a bit too convenient, like someone planted that medallion on the corpse to lead us on a wrong trail.'
Sanada goes deathly quiet. "Yes, now that you mention it, it seems...easy. But Midori-san wouldn't..." He trails off, before answering the question. "There's a shinobi here with us in the capital, but she wasn't a bodyguard, and she can't betray lord Yokuboo. All of Clan Rai are cursed into loyalty."
He blanches. "Err, not technically, sir, but I do go into the storerooms next to them, and the door isn't always guarded, so I guess I could go into them. I have no reason to, though, as my back isn't strong enough to carry the barrels."
"I'm surprised. They're a clan of kunoichi who serve the Yokuboo. Jurobei placed a powerful curse on them, making it impossible for them to harm him." He shakes his head. "Still, I'll need to find and talk with this shinobi, in case she can give us some insight." Sanada puts his hand on Jian's shoulder. "Sorry for snapping at you earlier, lad. You've done good work so far. Would you care to be the one to talk with this kunoichi? Her name is Inazuma."
Hattori grips her hair, pressing her down on his cock until his long Yokuboo cock is deep in her throat, her nose touching his pelvis. He holds her there, unable to breathe, as he begins to speak. "Hammer and anvil, eh? Not a bad plan, but I will modified. If my troops attack the walls first, we will lose men. Not many, but a few, and I see no reason why we should lose our men when the Chiitaan clan could lose theirs. Besides, I have no intention of being 'let' in. I will enter the castle on my own terms. Inform the young prince that he's to begin his attack first. When there's chaos inside, we'll launch our side of the assault. You secured Sugo's defection?" He pulls her off of his dick, so she can answer. "Inform him that his first assignment is to attack the gatehouse and open the gate, when he hears the sound of combat from the tenshu."
He nods. "Very well. It's clear to see that you're a better man than your father. I'll have the kunoichi found, and we'll go to her together. In the meantime, get some rest."
Chitsukiko meets him, taking him back to her room. "So..." She trails off.
