Chapter 1-1-2

Suemoto SATOMI had a legitimate son named Yoshizane SATOMI. At that time, he was still a young man who was not even 20 years old, but he and his father had been in the siege for three years in both the literary and military arts. On the day of the fall of the castle as well, he had cleared the enemy's camp ahead of the army. My father stopped me when my feelings of valor were heightened and I proceeded to say, ``Let's fight against an even stronger one and die in battle.''

"Yoshizane! A true samurai is prepared to suddenly be decapitated. It's natural for you to think that today is the last day of your life, but if you and I die at the same time, Satomi's blood will be gone." It is the greatest misfortune for our ancestors.Since we have come so far against the forces of Kyoto and Kamakura, I will take responsibility for what we have done so far and make this defeat the last.You will survive this battle. Wait for the right time and rebuild the house again. Hurry up!"
Yoshizane obediently refuses to listen,
"I understand how my father feels. But even a small child would never run away even though he knew what would happen to his parents. I was born as a samurai and am 19 years old. If you are made a laughing stock of, you can't go on living calling yourself Satomi."
and hung up.

My father said, ``Yoshizane, I understand your feelings. was Yoshisada Nitta.However, when it disappeared, I became a follower of the Ashikaga clan in Kamakura.Your grandfather served your predecessor, and I served your child, and for the sake of your child, I showed my loyalty. I'm going to die. Now that I've exhausted my will. Do you need any more martyrdom? If you don't listen to my wishes after saying this, don't think of me as your parent anymore."
and shove.
Yoshizane has no words to respond to his father's reasoning, and bows his head to the neck of the horse and sheds tears. As soon as the drops fall on the grass, the cries of the battlefield ring out.

Suemoto glared at the enemy army, thought ``there will be no more chances,'' and sent a signal to Ujimoto Sugikura and Sadayuki Horiuchi. Then the two of them moved together,
"We will accompany you from now on. Let's go."
While saying that, he skillfully controlled the horse Yoshizane was riding and ran toward the west.
"A long time ago, Kusunoki Masashige must have had the same feeling when he exchanged his son Masayuki from Sakurai's stable."
Compassionate, the remaining soldiers watched this place with deep emotion. When Suemoto sees off his child heading west,
"There's nothing left to remember, let's do the final battle"
With that, he pulled a horse, laid out a formation of crane wings with less than ten soldiers, and slipped into the vortex of the large crowd.
"I entrust everything to Yoshizane's future"
Suemoto and the others killed many enemy soldiers, but eventually they ran out of strength and were beaten. Its blood stains the grass and leaves of the plains and then becomes buried in dust.
