Kaiba Hanamaru

"I look at the feats of certain shinobi and, for but a moment I believe them to be Gods. But then I remember that, no matter how powerful they become, they are no more than mortals. It is for this purpose that I travel as an envoy for the Samurai. I'd like to remind Shinobi of their mortality and, by doing so, foster the friendship that has long been avoided between us."
