As the Tokugawa clan's messenger, Nobuyuki heads to Aizu to inform the Uesugi clan of their punishment following the battle of Sekigahara. He meets Kanetsugu Naoe, who refuses to accept the severe, and almost cruel, demands, but Nobuyuki refuses to budge too. On the other hand, while Yukimura escaped the death penalty, he was leading an empty life, without being able to find the "meaning of his life" that Nobuyuki had asked him to reconsider. But one night, things start to get noisy in his vicinity.
Well, I hear the Uesugi clan would rather 
go to war than submit to the Tokugawa,
سمعتُ بأن عشيرة الأوئيسوغي تفضّل أن تخوضَ حرباً عوضاً عن الاستسلام لتوكوغاوا
Ich hörte, bevor sich die Uesugi den Tokugawa
unterwerfen, ziehen sie lieber in den Krieg,
Se dice que los Uesugi prefieren librar guerras
 antes que obedecer a los Tokugawa.
Se dice que los Uesugi 
prefieren dedicarse a la guerra
Uesugi prendra les armes
Ho sentito che gli Uesugi
 preferirebbero la guerra
Bom, eu ouvi falar que os Uesugi preferem 
ir à guerra do que de submeterem aos Tokugawa,
