"Chu, Si, Makato, Rei, Jin, Yu, Meiyo"
"These are the principles of Bushido, what it truly means to be Samurai, Nagumo," his father, Akari, told him. "Above all else in life one must maintain all of these."
"Yes father," The young child of five years told his father. Later that day his father left for battle under the banner of Morimoto Nakamura, the leader of the Imperial Army. For days it is said the battle raged against the evil Hanzagiri brothers, Diamyo's Lahan and Daizen. Lord Morimoto returned from battle, his father did not.
Morimoto came to the home of the Izuzki clan bearing bad news to Nagumo, his brother Hirohito, and to their mother, Isa Izuzki. " Akari fell in battle I am sorry, with his dying breath he asked me to take care of his family until they can take care of themselves," It shall be as you say my lord," replied Isa.
A few weeks later, Wei Hanzagiri, the Empress took her life by Seppeku, and Lord Morimoto Nakamura became emperor of all Tokuno. The boys, Nagumo and Hirohito both became studied experts of Bushido, while their mother Isa, became a prominent figure within the imperial court.
One day The Emperor called Nagumo to speak with him in private. "How may I serve you my emperor?" Nagumo fell prostrate as entered the Emperor's private home.
"Nagumo San, there will always be a need for the samurai to protect our beloved country. I have been considering reorganizing the Imperial Army to better do so." "How my Emperor?" "It shall be divided between specific jobs that both samurai and ninja can both best accomplish given their respective skills. We would need Samurai dedicated to being a mounted unit, Samurai dedicated to being foot infantry, and of course ninja for jobs that the samurai traditionally are not responsible for." "Your excellency, how do you intend to bring about this change? The samurai have been decimated in the continuing battles against the Hanzagiri." " I am aware of this problem young Nagumo. It is you that must see this task done, I am going to appoint you to an important position, that I am going to create. The position will be that of Shogun, the unquestioned Leader of the Imperial Army. "My Emperor, I am honored by such an appointment, however, I am not worthy to lead your army, as I am still young in the eyes of many of the Imperial court." "I will deal with the court Nagumo, you see to the rebuilding of the Imperial Army." "I will my Lord, again I am honored and I live only to serve you."
That was the beginning of the Tokuno Imperial army as we know it today. Shogun Nagumo Izuzki, founded the Tokuno Light Calvary Regiment, befriended the Samurai, Ardrion Kobushi Hitirra, and soon after the Kobushi Clan became a prominent part of the imperial Army. The Blue Lotus Clan, having been a stalwart protector of the new Nakamura line of Emperors, has also become an integral part of the Imperil army.
Unfortunately, the honorable emperor did not live to see his plan realized, he was dishonorably assassinated by the Hanzagiri, and his daughter Miko became Empress after her rescue by the Blue Lotus at the hands of the Hanzagiri
