Ninja: "Ha! I found something! Bessho clan had an army gathering at the border of Mimasaka - even before the rebel took over. And by the way I poisoned their daimyo's son just for fun."
Takamoto: "What does that mean?"
Ninja: "He will recover after a season or two."
Takamoto: "I mean the army!"
Ninja: "Oh. That means Bessho was going to declare war on Urikami and attack Mimasaka. But we kind of prevented the war."
Takamoto: "Oh... a lost opportunity."
Ninja: "Lost one, gained one. If general Motoharu calls off my colleague in Bizen and stops burning down their castle gate every season, Urikami may get the idea to reclaim Mimasaka. Then that army will be frozen by me, and my associate can turn Bizen to rebel as well."
Takamoto: "That's... brilliant! You have a bright future in front of you!"
Ninja: "Thanks! My dream is to be people's hero and do everything free of charge!"
