This guy looks like the guy from Samurai Warriors 4 Yoshitsugu Otani

Long story short

Yoshitsugu was standing in a hallway and the faint smell of a cigarette was in the air as he looked right front of him was a man sitting down reading a newspaper while smoking taking a quick look at Yoshitsugu who looked completely covered in wounds and was bleeding heavily but somehow his leprosy was gone as he felt or thought, he was able to stand without sitting on a palanquin anymore which shook his mind but the moment he thought of that he was sinking down a portal that enveloped him whole.

'What happening now!?' he thought while grasping air as he tried to escape which was futile.

The battles he had fought while serving under Toyotomi Hideyoshi was plenty enough for him to be experienced and the arts of war while he had a mind of a strategist and the will of a warrior he still was quite the scholar as he read many things and chronicled some famous stories while serving or he did it at his own leisure which kept him quite sharp when his mind was called into action at times in need especially he was loyal to his friends and was hailed as a hero after he met his own demise at the battle of Sekighara

But for now Yoshitsugu felt his destiny had changed after going against the current that had swiped his compatriots life in order for peace to exist in the sengoku jidai era that was a turbulent and chaotic era for changes and conquest. But even so Yoshitsugu felt to always go against the current no matter what even if he's on the losing side he always went against the current that was meant to destroy all that was weak while the strong prospered from the chaos called Sengoku Jidai.

Yoshitsugu felt he had a purpose and felt the love when he was serving in the Toyotomi army who had accepted his disease even Mitsunari Ishida had grown accustomed to his leprosy enough to drink from the cup that had a bit of his disease left on it which sparked quite tales to be told later down the line as he Otani managed to secure many victories like in the Korean Invasion there where Yoshitsugu distinguished himself enough to be greeted as a hero when he got back to Japan. Yoshitsugu was quite adept at sea battles it was said.

For now whatever this journey may bring he will persevere the burdens and go against the current as he always has and will

Yoshitsugu Otani has much to do in this new brand world as he's gonna either do great things or bring catastrophic calamities.

'Wherever a may turn up I will have to proceed with caution' he thought as his body felt encumbered with the wounds he had been inflicted with as he laid bleeding as he finally landed on the soft patchy green ground that felt smooth as his wounds seeped with blood as he laid on the ground in agonizing pain wincing while putting pressure on his own wounds as he crawled towards near a tree to nestle upon to rest up and heal himself first as he applied pressure to keep the wound in check while creating a tourniquet out of nearby items that was lying on the ground close by him, Yoshitsugu was quite resourceful in keeping himself alive while he now was gazing around him seeing a lush forest filled with critters

'Judging by this ground and the soft patch of green grass, I've might be near a settlement because they draw water from the lake' he had his eyes stared at the lake for a second but then something dawned on him

"My leprosy it's gone!" he discovered his illness was gone that kept him from socializing with certain others people, Yoshitsugu drew his mask down and began touching his smooth silky skin as he felt no leprosy was attached to it no longer 'This is quite fortunate of an event' he smirked happily to himself while cleaning his wounds by crawling towards the lake and then began using anything useful nearby to keep his wounds and grievous bleeding at bay for now

'If i to survive this world am to need of tools to close up these wounds' he thought to himself while crawling through the wavy green grass patches

Yoshitsugu felt the heavy burden as he felt every inch of his body in pain but he managed to ignore it by simply being himself as he kept calm and pragmatic in which sense of direction he should head to, he managed to get up and stand properly by leaning up against a tree as he noticed a tall fort close by that had smoke coming out of it 'I should head there' he gripped his katana 'Nobitsura Kage' hilt and began walking towards the fort while clutching his wound around his waist area

'Dammit the wound seem to get the better of me' he was getting more exhausted each step he took as he neared the fort

Am almost there his mind raced as his body began to falter each step he took as he began to feel heavy while his vision began to blur like before when he suffered near blindness in battle which made it all to difficult the ashigaru men had to carry him in a palanquin and he had a soldier keep everything in order for him while he gave out commands, but this time is gonna be different than before.

Yoshitsugu Otani managed to get to his destination as he walked through the ruins of an old fortress and into the bonfire that was lit around the bonfire was certain individuals that reeked of battle and blood lust but only thing that came towards Yoshitsugu's mind 'I made it' as he fell forwards towards the ground
