Although it is pleasing to see inadequacy replaced the previous leader of the Asai clan has reappeared, although we are unsure why they would have vanished in the first place we have reason to believe they are infected. Comm from an unknown source.
This is of course rather embarrassing for the Shogunate but even more a threat to your legitimacy. Should Sakurai return and turn out to not be infected there is a high chance of further instability within that clan, perhaps we could kill two birds with the one stone.
If you are interested in repairing your clans standing with the Shogunate and remove this thorn in our sides I'll be happy to hear any Ideas you may have.
Arigato,
Heung Hideyoshi,
Shogunate Treasurer and Representative of Shogun Hideyoshi.
