We were walking to the gate of the castle it was around 50 meters away in front of us Riku was walking to Sagara's left while I was walking to his right Maeda was walking behind us the sounds of the town were all around us people talking and trading. I look around us and see many stores some selling simple goods like straw hats others selling more fancy goods like silk, and others were selling all kinds of crops rice, potatoes, beans,fruit,and others.

I believe it was around summer time in Japan at his time because it was very hot but it was not as hot as Afghanistan. It was so hot there that even the bottom of our rubber boots melted on the ground. So the heat did not affect me also being from Southern Cali helps.

Me and Sagara continue walking forward but Riku decides to stop and look behind us "Inuchiyo, why are you following us?" Maeda was about to retort but I cut her off "Let her if Nobuna needs us and Sagara then she might as well come with," She looks at me "I suppose she can."

Maeda looks at us with emotionless eyes from under her lion skin "Are you three going to have a threesome?" Riku looked shocked. But I began to laugh hard Sagara was just standing there with his eyes closed. Riku had a blush on her face "D-Don't be stupid!" Sagara simply sighs "Inuchiyo, go home" Then he opened his eyes and had a smile on his face "let us adults have some fun." After he said that I began to laugh so hard tears formed in my eyes.

Maeda poked one of Riku's boobs with her finger "Fun with fat?" Then Sagara slaps Maeda's hand away "Boobs aren't fat!" He had a passionate look on his face "they're filled with the men's hopes and dreams!" At this point I was dieing, as I was laughing I leaned against a building "Amen A-fukin-em!" I was still laughing, both Riku and Maeda looked at me questioningly.

In a minute I began to calm down I let out a few laughs here and there. As I was calming down the laughter of a little boy can be heard "How uncouth." I looked to see where the voice was coming from to see a little boy surrounded by girls wearing strange outfits.

One of the girls a red head was holding a purple banner with characters on it "I though I'd take a look at my sister's monkey." Sagara looks at the kid and lets out a huff "I didn't think I'd see this." I lean towards Riku "Uh who is that?" Pointing at the kid "That is Oda Kanjuurou Nobukatsu," I look at him "So he is supposed to be a prince?" Riku nods "I am an aide to Master Nobukatsu."

I looked at her confused "Isn't Nobuna your lord?" Riku shakes her head "Since I am his aide I'm under his command." I let out a chuckle Riku's eye brow raised "What is so funny?" I look at her right in the eyes a blush appears on her face "So thats that huh since im your retainer I have to follow his every order too huh." Riku nods.

I walked up to Sagara who was giving the kid a studying sort of look the the kid said "But maybe a monkey is a good match for my stupid and boorish sister."The girls around him began to Sagara began to walk towards the kid "So you're calling your older sister a fool?" I had a feeling he was going to insult the kid "You're the one who's a boor!" I knew this is one of the things I like about you Sagara you ain't afraid so speak you mind.

Riku walked up and grabbed Sagara "Monkey, hold your tongue." Sagara retorted "He's insulting Nobuna!" Riku responds with a serious tone "I'm minister of the Oda family, but my official position is Master Nobukatsu's aide I'm in his command."Sagara gives her a 'are you serious look' then the kid lets out his annoying laugh I dont know what it is about this kid I just dont like him. "You don't know anything, do you?" Sagara looks the kid right in eyes I was listing to every thing he was saying. "Like what my sister did at Father's funeral." I let out a huff "If I leave the country to her, Owari will be ruined"I let out a scoff "More like you will ruin it if you get control."I bet Sagara was thinking the same thing. Sagara stood up "Then,what about you?" The kid looks confused I let a smirk form on my face "what would you do with Owari?" The kid takes a bite out of something I dont know what that is "Do you have some ambition for the country?"

Then the kid as expected began to spout childish nonsense I face palmed hard when I heard about a national campaign to get everyone to eat rice jelly. Sagara looked at him with an un-amused expression. Then he said "I will bring all the cute girls to Owari!" I walked next to Sagara and saw his eyebrows twitch "That's still no good!" I was surprised I expected him to like it "if you can be a count then even I could!" The kid was nervous

"A-Anyway, my sister is a fool." He took 2 steps back "An embarrassment to the Oda clan!" My eyebrow twitched the kid continued "Even mother hated her since she was a child, never speaking to her." My eyebrow twitched harder this time You sure It was not you you fucking bastard that was a low blow Sagara's eyes opened a bit wider. "Violent,selfish, and always friendly to barbarians all she talked about were rifles and conquest I can see why mother didn't like her." I gave the kid an even harsher glare I think he did not notice it but I think he could feel it .I never thought I would get this angry with a kid on my entire life!

"My mother said that I should've been the one to succeed my father,not my foolish sister." I can hear the arrogance in his voice I really felt like punching the kid but Sagara beat me to it though he hit him less hard than I would of. Both Nobukatsu and Riku are shocked at what he just did. I just smiled "Never call your sister a fool again." Sagara had a very serious look on his face. "Next time you say that, I'll really whack you!" The kid held his head and began to walk back "You hit me! you've already hit me!" He sat down his girls comfort him "You're just a mere soldier!" He began to yell louder "I'll have your head!Off with his head!" I simply let out a dark chuckle everyone looks at me I walked up to the kid squatted so we are at eye level.

I was glaring right into his eyes he began to shiver and sweat under my gaze I put my hand in his head he flinches at my touch "Kid dont throw around threats you dont know when you might mess with the wrong people." Needlessly to say, he did not take that well "I-Is that that threat?!" I just let out a sigh and began to walk towards the castle gate Riku, Sagara ,and Maeda follow me.

We were in the council building Sagara was on his knees in front of Nobuna his hair causing a shadow over his eyes making them hard to see. OK still how are those shadows covering his eyes making them impossible to see but this is serious... "Do you realized what you have done?" I let out a sigh I was of course standing leaning on one of the pillars in this building the one that was closest to Sagara. "Master Nobukatsu ordered me to cut off monkey's head and deliver it to him." Nobuna was sitting there "Ah, right." Riku continues "If you refuse, he'll start another rebellion." I look up Another rebellion you mean he has rebelled before and you did not strip him of his rank and title the other times?! that is a load of BS! Nobuna just repeats what she said before. Maeda speaks up "So we'll give him head?"

I let out a frustrated yell and punch the pillar I was leaning on. My actions shocked everyone even Maeda "God Dammit!" I look at Nobuna "Is there a way to I dont know somehow be able to not have to kill Sagara!" Nobuna yells at me "AS if we would give him Monkey's head!"

"But the rebellion would be a problem." I look at Sagara "If the Oda family is divided in two.." He was cut off when Nobuna kicked something straight into his forehead. "Don't lecture me! Who do you think is at fault for this?!" Riku spoke in a wavering tone "If Master Nobukatsu rebels I will have to fight Nobuna so will Salvador." I let out a sigh Why are you calling him master is it a fetish of his or is he secretly a Time lord Then she started to stand up she drew her sword instantly "The only option is to cut off Monkey's head!" Sagara is panicked as he holds his hands up "Put your sword away!" I ran up to her and grabbed her hands to prevent her from bringing her sword down.

Then everyone even Nobuna even though she was on standing at the end of the room just a second ago put on of their feet on Sagara. "Katsuie calm down." Riku calms down a bit so I let go of here hands she let out a huff and with a blush sheathed her sword. "If a foot soldier hits him that's clearly unacceptable." Niwa began "But if he were higher ranked, a general for instance," I look at he and nodded "Then we could work something out with the kid." She nods back at me.

Nobuna looks at her "From a front line soldier to a general in one big leap, huh?" Niwa simply keeps that smile on her face "However, he'd have to earn that title." Nobuna looks down at Sagara and closes her eyes "3000 kan..." I look at her with an eyebrow raised "Use 3000 kan to bring me 8000 koku worth of rice in one week" Niwa tells Nobuna that he will only be able to buy 4000 koku "If he can not do that he does not deserve it." Sagara weakly tells them "So, you want me to get as much rice as I can at half the market rate." Sagara suddenly sits up with energy in his voice "Okay! scripted event time!" As soon as he said that I face palmed.

Nobuna had her arms crossed "If you can't do it in a week you're going to lose your head." I look at her "Ma'am." She looks at me "Yes what is it?" I give her a salute "Can I go with Sagara Ma'am?" She just simply nods her head. I help Sagara back onto his feet "Lets go buddy we've got things to do and were burning time." Maeda was also with us carrying a chests full of coins.

Me and Sagara hurried back to the barracks in town with our pace it took us 25 minutes. Sagara looked a bit tired while I was fine but Maeda was pretty tired from having to jog with that chests full of coins. After we caught our breaths Maeda asked the million dollar question "How are we supposed to be able to get the rice on time?" Sagara simply smiles "Dont worry, I have a way to make money that never filed me in a game." I rolled my eyes and face palmed. Maeda looked up at Sagara with curiosity "Game? I don't understand that either." Sagara looked back at her "Well, just leave it to me." Then Goemon just ended up appearing right next to me she was hanging from something but she startled me "Jesus Christ! Dont do that!" Goemon looked at me weirdly "Who's Jesus Christ?" I waved at her "Never mind..."

Goemon looks at the both of us "I'm told you need lots of rice the Kawanami ninjas were originally thieves breaking and entering is a si-sim... simple task for us." Sagara did not look amused neither was I "Don't stutter when you talk about doing something illegal." Then a smile formed on his face "You don't need to do anything like that were fine." Goemon objected "But its 8000 koku!" I gave her a smile "We just need to increase our 3000 kan to 6000 kan and Sagara here has a way of doing that." Then I whispered under my breath "Even if it may be very unreliable."

Sagara began to explain his get rich quick then spend it all of rice plan "First, we need to use all the money to buy goods here in Kiyosu." So thats what this town is called "Then we will take the bough goods to a town where their worth more sell them there and buy more goods and take them to another town and sell them for more again." I nodded "If we keep doing this, making 6000 kan won't take any time at all!" he sounded proud of himself "I learned this trick in the Romance of Two Kingdoms and Age of Exploration!" After his explanation I asked Goemon if she had anyone that could help us she did I told her to meet us at the market place with them.

She promptly left to get them "Alright lets go to the market!" I say enthusiastically both Maeda and Sagara looked at me funnily "We have some shopping to do!" When we got to the market Goemon was waiting for us with a tall bald guy with a matchlock on his back, A guy who seemed like he was in his mid 30s who was wearing a weird hat and big guy with a beard and something on his back.

We bought spices from the market place and loaded them onto the carts there were 4 of them and had to be moved by a single person Sagara,Maeda,and Goemon just rode on the carts while me and the other guys had to pull the carts. It took us around 5 hours to get to the next village when we got there the other two guys were beat while me and the bearded man were laughing at them.

It took us around 7 days in order to get all the money and the shack was filled with coins Maeda and Nene were buried in it while Sagara was was celebrating by tossing the money around "With this much money the ladies will flock to me!" I rolled my eyes and smiled "Remember man we have to use this money to buy rice not attract girls also the deadlin-." I cut myself off "WAIT IT TOOK US 7 DAYS TO GET ALL THIS AND WE HAVEN'T GOT ANY RICE!" Sagara realized what I was saying. Then Maeda decided to make things worse "The deadline is this evening." Every single one of us freezes "Crap" well said Sagara well said, crap indeed.

Me,Inuchiyo, and the others began to buy rice from the towns around the area I just hope Sagara bought himself some more time or we might not make it in time. Our convoy of rice was heading to Kiyosu but as we were heading back we ran into a problem by problem I meant soldiers there were 20 of them and they set up a blockage to stop us as I tired to approach them they shot arrows at me one of them bounced of my helmet while another hit me in the chest but my vest managed to stop it before it could do any that was where my luck ran out an arrow implanted itself into my thigh I let out a hiss as I felt the pain I got down in a crouching position.

I was crouching on the road as I took aim at the bandits with my M4 I had my gun set to semi-automatic I sighted a bandit notching an arrow I and pulled the trigger the shot is heard around the field the bandit I aimed at fell dead to the ground. The foot soldiers thinking I was just holding a fancy looking matchlock charged at me. I stood up and began to walk backwards with pain due to the arrow in my thigh. There were 17 of them charging at me they were armed with spears and swords.

I took aim and began to fire at them gunshots heard all the way to the convoy and beyond. The soldiers were still around 130 yards away and closing I already got 8 shots off taking down in turn 8 bandits they fell with screams of pain some fell down dead before they hit the ground. I decided to go automatic I switched to fully automatic and began to spray at the group of bandits approaching us.

I was firing small bursts into the group the effect was both instant and horrific the bandits just get cut down in 20 seconds they met the same fate as the 8 I shot down before letting out screams when I finished them off I heard a *click* leave my gun. I ejected my mag and opened a pocket in my vest and pulled out another mag then inserted it into my M4 then I pulled back the charging handle to chamber a round.

I took aim at the last 2 left "Surrender now or I will shoot!" They were both terrified but they drop their weapons and began to run away. I aimed at them and put pressure on the trigger... the trigger was slowly being squeezed then I let out a sigh and removed my finger from the trigger and lowered my gun putting on the safety. Goddammit I got trigger happy I used up an entire magazine but I still have 4 left not including the one in my gun now.

I let out another hiss of pain as I looked down at my right thigh I saw the arrow sticking out of it I rolled up my pants over the arrow and saw and felt the blood running down my leg into my boot. I sat down and took off my boot to prevent any more blood from flowing into it. Maeda and Goemon run up to me with a few others "Ar-A...Are you ok?" Goemon asks me I let out a grunt "I'll be fine just place me in the back of one of the carts." They nod Goemon, Maeda and others from the convoy lift me up and place me the back of the first cart. "Im sorry but we did not being any medical supplies." I gave Goemon a smile "I'll be fine as long as I dont end up getting an infection there is not much blood coming out so we should be able to get me medical attention when we get back." Goemon nods "This should help though." She grabbed her black scarf and warped it around the wound I nod a her.

The convoy got moving again when they cleared the blockade which took 1 hour. I was looking out the back of the cart with my uninjured leg out of the back I watched as I saw the line of carts moving. I was pressing a hand against the wound to add pressure and maybe stop the bleeding until we get back then they will have to pull the arrow out of my leg. I looked at the sky the oranges and yellows were still more stunning and bright than back home. I let a sigh I just hope we get back fast enough before Sagara loses his head.

The sun was starting to set as we could see the town and the castle. I looked back at my leg and saaw blood staining Goemon's black scarf she warped around my leg.. Both Maeda and Goemon went forwards to stop the princess from beheading Sagara when we just arrive. I look up to see the sky slowly change from those oranges and yellows to purples and dark blues. We were close to the town we were just a few minutes away from entering the town. I looked behind us to see the sun starting to set.

Then we entered to town and for some reason I felt like singing and I decided to give in.

Pov change to Nobuna's Room

Nobuna was about to cut off Sagara's head she had tears in her eyes as she was about to behead then they both heard a familiar voice singing a song

Little girl, Little girl why are you crying? Inside your restless soul your heart is dying.

Nobuna blinks and looks out her window to see a massive convoy of carts bringing rice. Sagara stands up and sees the convoy too and lets out a sigh of relief.

Little one, little one your soul us purging of love and razor blades your blood is surging.

Then Goemon and Maeda arrive "Princess sto-" they cut them selves off when they see both Sagara and Nobuna staring out the window then they hear the song. The singer's voice picks up and is heard around the castle.

Runaway, from the river to the street and find yourself with your face in the gutter.

You're a stray, for the Salvation Army, there is no place like home when you got no place to go.

Nobuna and everyone else hurries to the balcony the princess was amazed at how much there was. They looked down to see me I wave up at them.

Pov Salvador

When i finished waving I decided to continue.

Little girl, little girl you life is calling the charlatans and saints of your abandon

Little one, little one the sky is falling you lifeboat of deception is now sailing

In the wake all the way no rhyme or reason your bloodshot eyes will show your heart of treason

Little girl, little girl you dirty liar your're just a junkie preaching to the choir

Runaway from the river to the street and find yourself with your face in the gutter

You're a stray for the Salvation Army, there is no place like home when you got no place to go

I looked at the balcony so see they are still there staring at me I look around to see others doing the same thing.

The traces of blood always follow home like the mascara of tears from your getaway.

Your walking with blisters and running with shears So unholy, sister of grace.

I finished the rest of the song in a minute. I looked around and got up on my legs and started limping towards the gate. Then one of the guys from our trips with Sagara during the week walked up to me he had a matchlock on his back and was bald . He brings my arm over my shoulder. "Hey what was that song called you just sang?" I smile as we walk into the castle "It was called Viva la Gloria-little girl " We reached the entrance to the castle "Thanks ill take it from here." He nods and removes my arm form his shoulders I enter the castle with my hand on the gate door to support me so I dont have to put much weight into my injured leg.

Then I hear Niwa yell at Nobuna who was on the balcony with everyone else yell "Disaster, Master Nobukatsu has rebelled He raised an army at Suemori Castle!" Nobuna looked shocked "Wh-why?" Maeda tells Nobuna that "Soldiers tried to stop us I believe they were Master Nobukatsu's also they managed to wound Salvador during the fight but he managed to take them all down with his firearm."I began to limp my way next to Niwa I was still holding mt boot in one of my hands I leave a small trail of blood as I was limping. Niwa ran up to me and let me put my arm around her back "Ill bring you to your room and treat your wounds." I look and her "Thanks this arrow in my thigh is starting to bother me a lot." Niwa began to help me to my room.

Authors notes: Hope you guys liked this chapter also as said the song is called Viva la Gloria-little Girl by green day I recommend you guys check it out its a nice song any way this chapter is significantly bigger than my other ones also it looks like I lied about the history thing as well... any way hope you enjoyed it this is Rodavlas signing off. :3
