Transcribed by Ugokoyama Bata, the Red Oni @Lojo613

 

 

1. In this time of crisis, there are no Nobles and no Peasants. Every soldier must be a Samurai and a Shinobi. I shall need one army, united and singular in its purpose, to liberate our land. The Army of Uncle O!

 

2. The state is the culmination of the collective labor of all our ancestors. Therefore, to work against the state is to dishonor all our ancestors.

5. A good soldier understands that the land is his greatest weapon. Where the brush is thick, it invites traps, fortifications, and ambush.

Nourish and protect your land, and it shall deliver victory!

36. Come the right moment, even the pawn can bring you victory. 

 

37. Food for my people, prosperity for my country, this is all I want, all I understand. 

 

38. All my life, I have served my people with all my heart and strength. If I should now depart from this world, I would have nothing to regret, except not being able to serve more and longer!

51. The army must be one with the people so that they see it as their own. 

 

52. There is an old Oyashiman fable called “The Foolish Old Man Who Destroyed a Mountain.” A foolish old man gathered his two sons, and with shovels and picks began to tear down a mountain. The wise old man told him “give up on this task, you shall die before it is complete.” The foolish old man replied “and my sons will continue this task, and their sons shall continue, and so on. High as these mountains are, they cannot grow any higher and with every bit we dig, they will be that much lower.” This is the philosophy of our state and of this war as well.

O UNCLE MY UNCLE!!!

[Nen 250]

A depressed former paladin--now full-time bodybuilder--sat in a dark alleyway in Saki-Gaki brooding over the defeat of Zanu. Upon reading the Shugo's wisdom he suddenly stood up and rejoiced in enlightenment, a single tear falling from his eye,

 

"SUBERASHIII. TO SKIP LEG DAY IS TO FOREGO MY PATRIOTIC DUTY!"

 

He then departed the city to go squat sacks of rice in the storehouses.
