Becoming the man
The Onin War led by the provincial warlords divided Japan into feuding fiefdoms and plunging the whole country into anarchy, culminating in a century of unending war, some of the heads of the clans were seeking alliances, to what seemed to be desperate or vain attempts to reunite the conflicting parts of Japan, they used to send their messengers with letters requesting the alliance. Other clans, in order to disrupt these alliances, killed those messengers and stole the alliance messages. Hiroshi Takahashi was one of the best of these messengers and he succeeded in delivering the messages of Lord Hayato to a number of allies. Kaito, Hiroshi's son, was his father's partner in his travels, those trips were additional training for Kaito, as he was the last heir of the Blue soul, the sacred katana that was made by the Gods themselves. Their last journey held the sorrows and pain that would turn Kaito into the man who would carry the family's difficult legacy.
