"Witness the might of the Sanada." - Yukimura Sanada at every turn in SW2

Chapter 4

E-on had awoken early the morning of the battle, he decided to spend the time he had untill the start of the battle to plan out how you would approch the fight, but considering he was brand new to the army he had no weapons apart from the standerd Kitana, and considering his job was to protect Ina, he really didn't need to spend time on startigy.

As he was thinking, Hanzo Hattori snuck up on him.

"You seem troubled, E-on." Hanzo said. "Is it about the battle?"

E-on jumped up high in the air. "Where did you come from?"

"I told Ina, the Shadow is always present." Hanzo replied.

E-on just sulked, of course he would answer that way, Hanzo is like that to eveyone.

"So whats gotten you so worked up?" Hanzo asked. "If it is the battle don't worry, just stay with Ina and you will be fine. With that Hazo walked away from E-on. Once again leaving him to his thoughts. But he didn't have too long to think as everyone came to the field from they're tents, the battle was starting, first though Oda and Tokugawa had to decide where the armies would be at.

"As you know we will be fighting the Asai and Asakura today," Ieyasu started. "I expect great things from all of you."

E-on just listened to Tokugawa's speech, not really paying attetion untill the assigments came up.

"Ina you will attack the Asakura front lines, E-on make sure you protect her." Ieyashu said.

This assingment bother E-on and he voiced his dicomfort. "Lord Ieyasu, with all due respeact, why is Ina attacking the Asaukra front lines? Shouldn't someone like Tdakatsu have that job?"

Shortly after he expressed his thoughts however, he was met with Ina's angry voice.

"I am just as tough as my father." Ina said. "And I will prove it by taking down the Asakura."

Ieyasu finally spoke up "E-on, I know it seems strange , but Tadakatsu trusts her and you to handle it, besides Tadakatsu must stay back to defend the base in case something where to go wrong. Plus you two won't be alone, Hanzo will be nearby helping the Oda with the Azai."

That put, E-on's mind at rest, knowing that Hanzo would be nearby on the battle field, but there was still something bothering him, this time it was one of the allied units on the battlefield.

"And what about Magoichi Saika?" E-on asked. "Can we trust him in this battle?"

Now it was Tadakatsu's turn to speak. "Yes, we can trust Magocihi to help in the battle, However, E-on if you see him keep him away from Ina."

Now that was weird, if they could trust Saika why did E-on pretty much have to protect Ina from him? It made no sence.

"Father, I can take care of my slef." Ina said. "The one known as Magoichi won't be a problem for me."

"Daughter," Tadakatsu began. "You don't know Magoichi like the rest of us do."

Okay, now E-on was even more confused, what was so bad about Magoichi Saika.

Just then the drums of battle sounded pulling E-on from his thoughts.

"Eveyone to your stations!" Ieyasu shouted. "We will show them what the men of Mikawa can do!"

To be continued.

I will start the battle next chapter, I'm thing about breaking the battle up, starting with the battle with the Asakura, then the meeting with Saika after the first day, and then the retreat of the Asakura. remeber this will manly follow the Tokugawa so this battle will be the only battle that Azai/Asakura will be in.

See you next time.
