Despite
not
being
the
best
samurai
in
Kamigawa
in
fact,
hes
better
known
as
a
blundering
oaf
Shadow
-
tail
is
still
a
kitsune,
and
as
such
can
traverse
wooded
areas
with
ease,
with
sandaled
feet
barely
touching
the
ground
with
each
stride,
creating
little
more
than
a
ghost
-
like
blur
of
fur
through
the
trees
in
silence
.
Snap
Okay,
near
silence
.
Gods,
are
the
twigs
here
brittle
.
He
expected
someone
to
give
him
a
disapproving
glance
for
making
the
noise,
usually
someone
with
some
rank
in
the
Daimyos
army
.
Hardly
a
day
out
of
his
clans
home
goes
by
without
someone
chewing
him
out
over
something
that
happened
around
him
.
But
as
long
as
he
may
live
.
Konda,
or
anyone
else
in
Kamigawa
for
that
matter,
knows
where
he
was,
or
even
cared
he
thinks
.
And
he
is
convinced
that
its
his
own
fault
he
was
there
.
It
was
him
that
charged
that
kami
that
brought
him
here
first,
and
his
family
followed
him
.
Thats
a
small
blessing,
his
family
being
with
him
.
Thatll
keep
him
from
ending
up
a
ronin
in
this
new
world
.
But
still
--
He
found
the
older
one
.
It
wasnt
hard
to
find
with
the
scent
she
had
.
He
remembers
when
he
got
wasabi
up
his
nose
by
accident
.
She
had
a
faint
smell
similar
to
that,
thought
it
was
a
light
warmth
compared
to
that
burning
heat
that
ruined
his
sense
of
smell
for
a
week
or
two
.
