You’ve finally met Ibuki, who you helped defend a village in Iga from a ruthless warlord. They asks for your help again, this time to hopefully put an end to Nakatomi’s reign of terror. This time, you will be meeting them north of Hijiyama, immediately northwest of the marker for Hijiyama Fort. This guide will detail your siege of Hijiyama Fort, as well as the correct answers needed to not only romance Ibuki, but also recruit them as an ally.
(1 of 2) Ibuki will be found by the Hijiyama Camp, north of the Hijiyama name on the map.

Help Kyobei¶
Before you go charging into the fort, there is an instance where you can choose an answer to flirt with Ibuki. When prompted with the option, pick I am here to help. Since you are restricted to using Yasuke here, there is really no need to try and be stealthy, so it’s fine to charge right into the fort. Run up the main path and smash down the gate to get inside, where you’ll be greeted by some enemies. Two of them will likely be using the blue-colored attacks, so watch the colors carefully and adjust your blocking/dodging accordingly.
Bust through the gates until you reach the next area with enemies, which should include a heavy with a club. You will want to be extra careful here, as there’s an alarm bell, so if you see an enemy with their level as red, then you want to prevent them from climbing the ladder with the alarm bell. Of course, you can also quickly climb up to the bell and sabotage it, although if you’re already Wanted, then this won’t do anything to help with that. Since this mission requires you to be Yasuke, you can’t leave the fort and switch to Naoe to get rid of the Wanted status, either.
(1 of 3) Some of the enemies in the fort will present a little more challenge than the others.
Kill Nakatomi¶
As you enter the next area, there will be a scene with Kyobei, where you’ll have to make a decision. If you wish to make Ibuki an ally, then choose Fight with us, Kyobei and get ready for battle. The goal here is to kill Nakatomi, although there will be other enemies that’ll attack you, too. The worst one is definitely the one with the fan, who can drop some exploding “mines” on the ground, so look for that one first. As far as Nakatomi goes, she’s not too tough, since she doesn’t seem to have any armor and her attacks are easy to read.
Once Nakatomi is dead, you will likely still have to clean up the rest of the enemies, since you won’t be able to speak with Ibuki until the coast is clear. Note that it doesn’t matter if Kyobei survives the fight or not, as that doesn’t have an impact on Ibuki joining the League, nor if you can get romantic with them. If he does die, you can meet up with Ibuki back in Kashiwara Village. They will be by the bridge to the east of the village, just north of it, along the western shore.
Speak to them there and when given the choice, pick The flower itself is most important and Your mind works in beautiful ways. The first one might not matter, but it’s better to be safer than sorry and the second one will continue the romance with Ibuki. The next morning, you will have a chance to have Ibuki join your league, so make sure to pick You don’t have to be alone for them to become your ally. There is still one more quest left for Ibuki, which will be back at your Hideout.
