Chapter 5 - Sengoku Era

I heard news that war broke out through Japan. After spending the night at Shyeena's house I told her that I needed to go back to protect my homeland. This is my 2nd month in Italy. Me and Shyeena patched things up and are now a couple again. She said she wanted to go with me, so here we are on a ship heading back to Japan. It took me 2 years to get here from Japan so I knew that this would be similar. I've got my own crew and we're sailing. It took such a long time to sail because of pirates and because we have to take one ship from Italy to Spain, board another ship, then sail around Africa. Then we sail in between Austrailia and New Zealand, then sail north where Japan is. The worst of my travels was when I was approached by a grand ship. It attacked us automatically. I sent Neil to swim and board the ship killing everyone on board while me and my crew focus on destroying the ship.

"Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire, Full Sail, Stop The Ship We're Boarding!"

I weakened the defenses just enough to destroy the masses.

Shyeena jump onto the ship to join Neil in combat.

I wielded two swords

Neil wielded a sword and a machete

And Shyeena wielded a sword and a musket.

We ALL dual-wielded two weapons.

We killed most of the enemy crew and they surrendered I collected metal, wood, and lots of gold. The enemies revealed they were pirates from Madagascar. At the time we were sailing down the Indian Ocean towards Australia.

When we made it to Japan we landed at Kochi. My allegiances lay with Hideoshi Hashiba. He and Mitsunari worked for the Assassin's.

In 1577 Hashiba's Forces and me attacks Kozuki Castle in Harima Province. I proved myself to be worthy to be apart of Hashiba's men.

The year after we finally capture Kozuki Castle for Nobunaga Oda. A big man who wore on dark colors and was almost intimidating to look at.

We still attack Harima Province. Soon we attacked Bessho Nagaharu in Miki Castle.

In 1581, we took the Mori Clan's Tottori Castle after a 200 day siege. I fought and rested. Millions dead from me. I'm a killer but I don't regret a single death.

1582, we lay siege to Takamatsu, a fortress in Bingo that belonged to the Mori Clan.

June 20th 1582

We lost an important man today. Nobunaga was killed. It was bad news to everyone.

June 25 Hideyoshi arranges for the surrender of Takamatsu, then marches against Akechi.

July 2 Hideyoshi defeats Akechi Mitushide at the Battle of Yamazaki (Settsu)- the latter is killed soon afterwards.

1583

May [Toyotomi] Hideyoshi defeats Shibata Katsuie's troops at Shizugatake in Omi. Katsuie commits suicide soon afterwards and Echizen passes to the Niwa.

Oda Nobutaka is besieged in Gifu by Toyotomi troops and commits suicide

1598

August Hideyoshi establishes a council of regents (Tokugawa Ieyasu, Meada Toshiie, Môri Terumoto, Ukita Hideie, and Uesugi Kagekatsu)to rule while Hideyori comes of age.

September 18 Toyotomi Hideyoshi dies.

He died! It was horrible for all of us only a decade later he retired then died.

1600 August 22 Ishida Mitsunari issues a statement denouncing Tokugawa Ieyasu; Ieyasu responds with preparations for war.

With Hideoshi dead, the remaining forces split into two West and East. Mitsunari Ishida vs. Ieyasu Tokugawa!

I became a ninja. But now it was time I became a Ninja-Assassin. My legend was born and I found out Altair was my Ancestor and that Ezio was my great-grandpa's distant cousin. But what weird names these were. I like english names from Britain. I'm gonna move their once this is over. My sons name is going to be english and he will live in England.

It all started when the Western Forces besiege Fushimi Castle. I killed lots of captains and leaders using by black ninja out fit but with the peaked hood of an assassin with the insignia. Under a month we captured the Castle.

Then Sekigahara where I'm at now but 19 days before I had a son with Shyeena. I told her that these are troubled times and that she should move to Britain. I named my son Amadeus Kenway. She left 3 days later. Now here I am in this battle in Sekigahara. Seems like the men we hired are traitors! Dammit Hideaki. Lots of defectors but Ishida wants us to die warriors! I'm going to die! May this be my final entry so that descendants may look upon me.
