Honorable Taisho Sulu,
It is with a heavy heart I announce here today. Due to constraining circumstances I am forced to withdraw my sword from the Emperor's service. I ask it to be returned to Him so it may still bear the honor of striking down all who oppose Him. I ask this so I may continue to live out my days in a manner of peace on Kyushu, bringing life to the economy rather than death.
To my good friends Machi Touken and Kiyoshi Raidon, I wish you well in your continuing struggle for a peaceful Kusari.
