After helping his people and driving back Mongols, Yu paid a visit to Sensei Ishikawa who was at the nearby survivor camp.

Yu:Sensei Ishikawa said he was here, but he's not here. Maybe someone has seen him.

He asks a peasant.

Yu: On looking for a samurai, an archer.

Peasant:The Sensei headed toward the coast. He said you should catch up with him to, "Join the hunt..."... And you'd know what that meant.

Dreams of conquest: Mission start.

Yu:I better start looking for him...

He starts traveling to where Sensei Ishikawa might be, and further down, he hears him.

Ishikawa:Come closer, fools! Find glory!

Yu: Sensei Ishikawa's in trouble.

Yu helps Sensei Ishikawa fight the remaining mongols and kill them. Once the fighting was over.

Ishikawa: Narukami! Over here!

Yu: You're wounded...

Ishikawa: I'll survive.

Yu:You should have waited for me at the camp.

Ishikawa:I had a lead on Tomoe. I couldn't risk losing her.

Yu:Were those archers her's?

Ishikawa:One of them shouted my name.

They suddenly hear a mongol horn...

Yu:More on the way. Tend to your wound. I'll take them.

A mongol squad attacks them, but Yu is able to defeat and send the rest running back to their camps.

Ishikawa:Not bad Narukami.

Yu:(Sighs)They had you surrounded.

Ishikawa:Tomoe taught them well.

Yu: That's not why they outmanoeuvred you.

Ishikawa:If you have an insight, share it.

Yu:You didn't notice them because you were too focused on finding Tomoe.

Ishikawa:Even I make mistakes, Narukami.

Yu:No you don't. Except with her.

Ishikawa:Hm... We should get moving.

They ride on horseback.

Yu:What do you know about the camp?

Ishikawa: Archers, for the most part. Tomoe has been seen with them on roads all over Akashima.

Yu:She won their trust.

Ishikawa:She's a useful tool to divide and conquer- for now.

Yu:Hm... Tomoe betrayed you before she sided with the mongols. But you never told me exactly what happened.

Ishikawa:She used my teaching to help a band of assassins. They paid well.

Yu:Still doesn't explain why she attacked you.

Ishikawa: Narukami. How does a samurai deal with an assassin?

Yu:You retaliated... Attacked her.

Ishikawa:I dealt with tomoe as any common murder.

Yu:She was your student.

Ishikawa:I don't make exceptions, Narukami.

Yu:First Hironori Nagao, now Tomoe.
