yoyakeIf you have read this sequentially, you may notice that I changed "upon completing (insert mission requirement here)" to "upon completing mission". SIMPLE REASON: easier to manage, and looks much neater since what I did before was simply parroting what the mission blurb is asking you to do. (I wanted to go back and change it for Kawagoe Castle and Itsukushima to standardise everything, but I'm lazy. Then again, it's just something minor, so I'll come back to that when I have time.)

Opening Narration:
In Kantō, after the night battle at Kawagoe Castle, the samurai from each region fought amongst themselves for supremacy.
The battle between Ujiyasu Hōjō, Shingen Takeda and Kenshin Uesugi became known as the Three Kingdoms of Kantō.
The Takeda, Hōjō and Imagawa formed a grand alliance, and the Takeda expanded their territory in northern Shinano.
The ruling families that lost their land to the Takeda turned to rely on Kenshin, who was a principled man. Kenshin was not about to ignore this.
When the great rivals Shingen Takeda, the Tiger of Kai, and Kenshin Uesugi the Dragon of Echigo, met at Kawanakajima, it was their third confrontation.
The conflict between the Dragon and the Tiger was about to begin again...

Pre-battle event: Words to Live By (Aya, Kenshin)
- Uesugi Army: Camp -
Aya: Our adversary Shingen is a brilliant strategist and a deadly tactician. That is how he came to be called the Tiger of Kai.
Aya: Kenshin, how do you feel facing such a general in battle?
Kenshin Uesugi: The stars hold my fate.
Kenshin Uesugi: My armor is on my chest. My deeds rest at my feet.
Kenshin Uesugi: I face the enemy with open arms. I will suffer no wounds.
Kenshin Uesugi: Fighting for death, one lives; in fighting to live, one must surely die.
Kenshin Uesugi: If one leaves home and never thinks of returning, one will return. But expect to return, and the way will be closed.
Kenshin Uesugi: Uncertainty may be the only way, but never the way of the warrior.
Kenshin Uesugi: We must know perfect certainty.
Aya: What splendid clarity, Kenshin. You will bring peace to Shinano and to the world.

Post-battle event: Nemesis (Aya, Kenshin)
The rivalry between Kenshin and Shingen was not to be settled there, and persisted through the next battle.
Aya: Kenshin, you seem in high spirits.
Kenshin Uesugi: Sister. Today, I found my nemesis.
Aya: So you've finally found him, your equal in all things martial.
Kenshin Uesugi: My nemesis is Shingen Takeda, Sister.
Aya: No longer will you claim victory before you have a chance to demonstrate the full extent of your genius.
Kenshin bowed deeply, turned on his heel, and vanished into the throng of soldiers.
Aya: Ah, Kenshin. Where are you headed, Kenshin? You think of only one thing.
Kenshin walked out of the crowd of soldiers toward MC.
He had taken note of MC's fine work in the battle.
Kenshin Uesugi: You are still refining your spirit. Vanquish wickedness, and spread righteousness. Dispel the evil before you, and find the path.
With that, Kenshin spun on his heel and headed deeper into the camp.
MC ruminated on Kenshin's words, trying to discern their meaning.
They were the words of a man who understood that MC's mind was not yet made up; that an unwavering ambition had not yet been acquired.
There was no need to panic. Encouraged by the words of the God of War, MC made for the next field of battle, in an attempt to find that path.
