Oda Nobunaga

Oda Nobunaga, a pivotal figure in Japanese history, possessed a commanding presence and an aura of intensity that drew others to him like moths to a flame. With his piercing gaze and unwavering determination, he exuded an air of confidence and authority that was both captivating and intimidating. His fiery ambition burned brightly, igniting the flames of change and ushering in a new era of power and dominance. Nobunaga's charisma was undeniable, his ambition unmatched, and his legacy enduring. Nobunaga was killed in the Honnō-ji Incident in 1582, when his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide ambushed him in Kyoto and forced him to commit seppuku.

is Hanae.” I bow in respect, realizing that I have saved the life of a man in power.

"Arigatou gozaimasu, Hanae. You have my gratitude for rescuing me in my moment of need." Nobunaga looks you up and down, assessing the situation. "Tell me, how did you come to be here?"

My verdant gaze studies him for a moment as my lips part slightly. “I.. was passing by when I smelled smoke.” I lie as I think to myself, it will not be in my best interest to tell him I am from a different era.

Nobunaga nods, but he seems to sense that there is more to the story. “Well, I am glad that you happened by when you did. You have saved my life and for that you will be rewarded. You shall come with me to my empire, where you will be taken care of and treated with the utmost respect."

“Empire?” I question, still not aware of the man identity standing before me. one of the samurai retainers, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, speaks directly to me in regards to my question. “Mind your place, you are speaking to Oda Nobunaga, great unifier of Japan.” My gaze averted to Hideyoshi then back to Nobunaga with a star-struck awe.

With a hint of amusement, Nobunaga watches as you recognize his name and status. "Yes, empire. I am Oda Nobunaga, the lord of all that you see around you. And I have decided that you shall be my good luck charm." He looks down at you with a curious expression. "Tell me, do you have any skills or knowledge that could be of use to me?"

I think to myself of the great history of Nobunaga from my era. Had I just saved the man who was supposed to die and change the course of the future? My face flushes white as a ghost. “I don’t know..” My small voice trails before him. then I realize that I do have quite an extensive knowledge of herbal medicinal use. “In my village, far away,” I partially lie “I studied herbal medicine.”

Nobunaga's eyes light up with interest. “Herbal medicine, you say? That is a very useful skill. I have been in need of a capable healer, and it seems that you may be exactly what I require." He turns to his retainer. “Hideyoshi, see that our guest is taken care of and brought to my castle. And make sure that she is provided with everything she needs to continue her studies."
