Since most acts of seppuku are completed by an assistant, this is no small request and may serve a dual purpose.Of course, this honors the young Yoshii Toranaga, but it also requires him to prove his ability even though he is just a kid.“Perhaps we will meet again in the afterlife, ” Mizoguchi told him before opening his belly and waiting for Hideyoshi to complete his task.“Maybe I will be the one holding the sword.”Yoshii Toranaga had a crucial meeting with his half-brother Saeki Noburyu, which will determine the future destiny of Yoshii Toronaga.
