The Japanese empire 6

Takahiro threw his katana on the floor and turned towards yoshiyuko "I do not believe what he said.

I believe it's really you father." Takahiro assured.

"I have to tell you why I came, I won't be staying longer than a moment."

"Why leave so soon?, you haven't even seen mother, we haven't spent much time and you're going already" Takahiro strained.

"I needn't show myself to my wife, yoshiyuko said,

I don't want her to feel the way she felt the day I died."

"Then why have you come to me?," Takahiro said looking confused, who would return from the dead for no reason other than to reunite with his family.

"Son, the time has come when japan would be made mighty amongst nations and empires, fearless towards the ottomans and terrible towards empires." Yoshiyuko said, he look at his son with a seriousness,

"I deem that unachievable." Takahiro replied.

"Deem it whatever you may, but I have something for you." Yoshiyuko dipped his hands into his pocket, and brought out a folded map, he stretched it towards takahiro, he took the map, untied it's ribbon and regarded where the map led, from Japan, it led to south eastern of the Amazon, not too far from Argentina and Brazil,

"Where does this map lead?." Takahiro asked.

"The golden city, bring gold to your kingdom, make it wealthy by selling to other empires, the Romans, Egyptians, Ethiopians, it shall cure poverty in our land,

The gold will be enormous, use some to build arms, golden ships , sieges and catapults, take over kingdoms, expand our land, and be the supreme overlord, it's almost too much power," yoshiyuko laughed maniacally, and thunder struck when it wasn't about to rain, it struck fear into everyone who were before him, a laugh that seemed a replica of a witches laugh, a few of the ronins mowed, could gen be right, a few thought.

They we surprised as well, given the Emperor didn't consider what gen told him about yoshiyuko being a witch, even after he laughed like one.

MOMENTS LATER.......

Takahiro stood, pondering in his mind, the event that took place moments ago, yoshiyuko had disappeared already into thin air,

Takahiro had the map in his hands, spread before his face, reading it with altmost attention,

With mimes and signs, osako told the ronins to wiggle their chains slightly, to cause a little clatter of noise, a few adhered to his orders, most of the ronins like bunji never did as if osako told him anything, such activity could bring harm to him and everyone, he thought staying quiet would spare him the ordeal of an iminent harm, part of bunji's mind still told him death would or could be the only thing that will or can spear him the ordeal of the Emperor's punishments.

Bunji thought about sasaki, the fourteenth Ronin, who death has spared him the ordeal of the Emperor's treacherous punishments, bunji wished for his, that moment, and wished it would come by his own hands, and not the emperor.

A few Ronin writhed their chains slightly, whilst the emperor was still in a deep ponder, the ronins created a medley of noises, they did as osako said without knowing clearly what he intends to do, with a medley of noise.

Osako jumped down from his chains, his chains dangled, producing clicking sounds, it brought no attention to him, for the other ronins were writhing their chains.

To those around, the Emperor and the samurai's, the clicking sound had become a normality, so they blurred over the clicking sounds.

Osako picked up the gureto sodo, (the Emperor's katana) dropped further away from his left side, where gen was hung, the katana was paltered with blood, dripping out from Gen's body up the chains, osako picked the katana up silently, osako approached a samurai from behind, and drove the katana into his back it extended out of his belly.

It alerted the rest, including the Emperor, the samurai's drew their katanas, one of the samurai's who was closer to osako, swung his katana towards osako's neck, osako crouched slightly the katana swayed across his hair, it sliced the upper part of his hair, osako sliced the samurai's stomach, blood gushed out, he dropped to the floor, the last samurai rushed at osako,

Osako braced, keeping his katana in a position of use, the samurai swayed his katana vertical towards osako's head, to slice him into halves, osako raised his katana horizontally above his head, fierce impacts rammed on his katana, he almost lost guard, but he tightened his grip on the ground, the samurai kept swaying his katana at osako,

Osako stepped backwards, the samurai persisted and kept coming at him, whilst swaying his katana at him,

Osako reached the ends of the keimusho Conner, he couldn't mover backwards anymore, for he has been obscured by a wall, the samurai smirked at osako before swaying his at him, osako rolled on the ground away from him, osako came at his back and drove his katana into his back neck, it extended out of the samurai's front neck, blood gushed out, the samurai gasped for air, the katana had torn his wind pipe, making breathing impossible, the samurai dropped to the ground, and faded bit by bit.

Osako left him, and walked towards the Emperor looking fierce, the emperor stepped backwards, shivering in fear, it didn't take long for him to reach the ends of the keimusho, he leaned at the walls, osako came to him, took the map yoshiyuko gave him with all authority.

"You don't know what that is, do you?." The Emperor said. While leaning on the wall,

"It's a map leading to the golden city." Osako replied.

The Emperor came out of a lull, he felt he had gotten osako's attention and he wouldn't slice him with his sword.

"What do you intend to do with it, you haven't a ship that could convey you and your men over the oceans."

The Emperor said, osako frowned at the Emperor it seemed to osako he was about play some tricks on him.

"Me and my men shall find those gold's, and build our own Empire." Osako said.

"Build an Empire with me, it's more promising.

The Emperor opened his arms, as a call for osako to embrace his words.

Than your unclear vision." The Emperor added.

Osako smirked, in his mind he called the emperor's words artificial,

Osako sliced the emperor's right hand with his katana, a bright stroke appeared on it, with blood making its way out of it.

"If you scream I kill you." Osako said to the Emperor.

He didn't object and kept his mouth sealed.

5 minute later, osako freed all the ronins, they all could barely walk firmly on feet due to weariness, osako tied the emperor to a chain, and left with his fellow samurai's,

Getting out of the keimusho wasn't the main problem but rather getting out of the Edo castle.
