"I have no obligation or reason to tell you all the details." "Then..." "Dealing with unexpected situations is also the job of a general." "so be it." "So that's how it was..." "Everything is a trial." "and I have lost face." "I might not have come back unharmed." "Is the One-Eyed Dragon that strong?" "Yes!" "He is very strong." "Strong enough to shake my soul." "Sasuke Sarutobi reporting." "Good work." "What of Sunpu?" "who is after Date." "I see." "That is what I expected." "Prepare for battle." "We head to Imagawa." "Sir!" "Leader!"

"Did you think I'd lose?" "No." "It was something Takeda's spy said." "I took into consideration that what he said was true. would have died." "I got too heated." "I need to go cool down." "Will you depart for Oshu tomorrow?" "No." "I didn't come to Musashi to enjoy the scenery." "Then we need our scout to return before we decide." "I expect Imagawa will soon withdraw their troops." "You already knew?" "I suspect that Takeda will be there first to try and save them." "right?" "I doubt they fought at Kawanakajima." "they must have decided to fight another day." "That guy..." "It might be interesting to run ahead of Takeda and capture Imagawa." "What do you have in mind?" "but it's called..." "The Woodpecker Strategy." "Sounds like a fun game." "Kojuro." "Wh-What?" "!"
