He stood there at the water’s edge for what seemed like ages. This wasn’t the first time Hayate had lost someone and he was brought up knowing that the world was a dangerous place. But never had he imagined that he would be the cause of his clan’s extermination. A swell of emotions billowed with the man as he let them all come rushing out. Nothing could have ever prepared him for this.
Hayate Amatsukami, Yamato spoke out for the first time since his injuries. The last of the Amatsukami, Inheritor of pain, you know the truth.
Just then Hayate was teleported into some kind of dreamlike state. He could see Akashima and the Akatsukami estate. He could see the Shogun’s army as they bombarded the area with mortar fire and arrows. He could see himself and the Corpse King defending what they considered to be their home. Hayate could see as Hiruzen tore off his arm.
Then Hayate could see the Corpse King fleeing. Running as fast as it could to get away from the Shogun. Running to save Hayate’s life and preserve what little it could of its master’s dignity. Hayate watched as the beast traveled for hours until I collapsed just outside the Lolitches’ farm house. Suddenly it became clear why the Corpse King had been gone for so long. Yamato fought even after Hayate had been defeated and was the reason the last Amatsukami was even alive.
Thank you my friend. Hayate telepathically said to Yamato as he blinked back into the present. we will make him pay for this.
Hayate had decided that it was going to be his life's mission not only to kill the bastard Hiruzen but also to make sure nothing like this would ever happen again. He declaired it his dream to see the world not run by corrupt people instead to see a world run fairly.
