Abare Goemon Page #5

It will help to save your village too.

I'll tell you more when you're here.

Come quickly.

Come quickly.

What, what were you looking at?

Leave me alone

That's a letter from

Princess Azusa, isn't it?

None of your business.

Actually it is my business.

I know too much about it.

Hayato, it's an Asakura trap. Get it?

What have I done?

He the got the Princess

to ask you to come out.

Don't go if it's just to see her.

If you go knowing it's a trap,

you must be well prepared.

You know that this village will submit

to a powerful Daimyo sooner or later.

Square heads won't understand it.

But someone young may be

able to serve as a go-between.

You told us to defeat

samurai the other day.

Well, that's the ideal.

I'm talking about reality now.

It requires an adult

sensibility to discern them.

It will serve the village

whichever way you choose.

Well, I won't say which is better.

It's up to you to decide.

It doesn't feel so good to

betray the honest Go'emon.

Let's not do it.

But if you want to go,

I can mediate for you.

Want to take on a big job?

Well, I'm not encouraging you to.

Let's not do it.

Though Princess Azusa

will be disappointed.

Find him?

- No.

Muta'emon either.

It's strange they haven't

been around for 3 days.

I wonder if they went somewhere.

Don't be ridiculous.

Where would he go?

Split up and search the hills.

Emergency!

Emergency, Asakura's men are here!

Emergency!

Asakura broke our security point.

50-60 horsemen came out of nowhere

and set the hills in the back on fire.

The strange thing is that there was,

among their army, that drunk...

Muta'emon?

- Yeah!

His face and apparently...

Hayato's too.

What? Don't say a stupid thing like that.

Hayato was there too? You bastard!

I'm just reporting what I saw.

They say a woman's hair can

link even two great enemies.

We won this war now.

I'm beginning to hate you

for the first time in my life.

Hayato...

Are you going to fight

your friends and brothers?

For the sake of Kaga's Seven Clans?

Yes, and for you.

But, we're enemies.

Even so...

I'll do anything.

The most difficult thing,

a job no one else can do.

If you tell me to, I will do anything.

Hayato.

Don't let go of me.

Sow seeds in the rough soil

of May, don't wait for June.

Sew early and reap early.

During the harvest, waste no time and

don't let the samurai burn the crop.

Be methodical and effective.

Even if we don't come home,

don't stop working in the field.

That's the responsibility

of those who survive.

I know. Don't worry.

Off to the war! Beat the drums of war!

Go'emon of Shinobu attacked

Yaguchi Castle last night.

He is proceeding to Fort Saijo.

Just as I figured.

Tell Fort Saijo to fight back and

hold for as long as they can.

Hayato.

You're the captain of Fort Saijo.

Don't forget that.

Normally you would've have been decapitated

but you've been given special treatment.

Defeat Go'emon's army to

repay kindness to our lord.

Don't regard him as your brother.

You can't refuse.

You said you wanted a world without war.

The war will continue as long as

Go'emon doesn't submit to the samurai.

Defeat or eliminate your brother.

That's the only way to

make your wish come true.

That's what the Princess wants.

Hayato! Don't go! Stop!

What's the point of fighting

your own brother? Stop!

I'm fighting to end the war.

Forward!

He finally...

If Go'emon finds out that Hayato

is the commander of the fort...

He wouldn't attack so carelessly.

In the meantime we will in

Shinobu, razing the village.

Attack them in his absence?

If we attack the village in his absence,

Go'emon will surely lose heart.

We'll take this chance and

attack him with our full force.

That will ensure our victory.

Intruders!

Someone help!

Hayato went to Fort Saijo?

He's going to be killed either by

his friend or foe. Please save him.

He betrayed his village solely

for your love. I beg you please!

Wait! Wait!

Saijo... Fort Saijo is in danger.

The gate at the mountain

peak... the Shinobu men...

...broke through!

Your lives are in my hands.

Listen, move as fast as

you can down to the fort.

Don't hesitate. Don't be afraid.

Still your stomach and tighten your ass.

Don't forget that you're men of Shinobu.

Everyone, if you're nervous and stiff...

You're gonna drop your

belly button on the road.

Alright, that's the spirit.

Move out!

Shinobu men, listen well.

Guess who the commander of this fort is.

It's Hayato. Hayato!

Hayato is the commander of the fort.

You're lying. He can't be the commander.

He says he's the commander.

Everyone, don't be fooled.

Can you hear me, Go'emon?

The commander of this fort

is Hayato, your brother.

I'm gonna crush him!

It sounds like he's telling the truth.

Find out.

He's captured.

Shut up.

If Hayato is there, show him.

Hayato, if you're in there, come out!

If you're captured, yell something!

It's Hayato.

- Hayato.

Go'emon, if you want to negotiate

with Hayato, we'll accept.

But you must lay down your

weapons and hold your men back.

Three of you approach the gate.

The three of us will meet you.

What do you say?

Return Hayato to us!

It's cowardly to use him as a hostage.

He's not a prisoner.

He's the commander of this fort.

How about it Go'emon?

If you don't respond...

We'll attack you under his command!

Give Hayato back to us.

Hayato, come down!

Everyone, retreat! Retreat!

Retreat!

Hayato, kill yourself. Do it.

We'll watch your end. Kill yourself.

Go'emon, don't be stubborn.

Your brother has been

given a great honor.

Times have changed.

If you submit to us,

we won't treat you badly.

What do you say, Go'emon?

Shut up!

Hayato, say something!

Are you going to let the village, or

rather Kaga's Seven Clans die in vain?

No.

He's showing you villagers

how you should live.

Shut up! Let Hayato say something.

I'm speaking on his behalf.

You're lying!

He's the commander?

Only in a name. Hayato, say something.

You're being used as a puppet.

What a farce!

Hayato, are you going to

fight your blood brother?

Shooting arrows at your home village?

Do you call yourself human?

Go'emon, because he doesn't want

to shoot arrows at his home village...

He asks you to stop fighting and submit.

Shoot an arrow, if you want.

I won't back down.

No way in hell I'll submit to you!

Hayato, listen.

I've been fooled by samurai many times.

But I never dreamt I would

be betrayed by you!

Brother!

You can't go now.

Let me go. Brother, I...

Brother! Brother!

Hayato!

Brother, quick.

Hayato.

Brother, look! Hayato!

Brother!

Yatota, fight for his sake.

Take revenge!

Yeah!

Forward!

Push them back.

Kill them all. Bury them in flames.

Burn them down to ashes!

For Hayato's death, tomorrow

we will destroy Asakura's castle.

A woman like you alone, it's

dangerous. Do you still want to go?

I'm worried about the village

I left. Please let me go.

I see.

Oh, Saijo is burning.

Looks like Go'emon won the battle.
