Summary
It was blasphemy to live so close to the divine and be ignorant of its splendor, sitting at the foot of the heavens and playing at war with the chosen people. It isn’t just taking a scrap of rugged land. The old gods of Ashina and the new have one thing in common— they must be worshipped where they have been nurtured. Where they live in the earth and the water and the air and the sky.
They cannot take Ashina without killing gods, and the Ashina cannot let it pass. It is not a gentle place. It’s beauty comes with unfathomable cruelty.
It is still his home.
Isshin thinks of himself when he was young, and it reminds him of Kenjiro. He tore through the land and he tore through people and he tore through relationships with retainers and friends and family.
Isshin was going to tear the world apart if he could not have what he wanted. What he felt that he was owed. The world didn’t owe him anything but he was young and strong and stupid and none of that mattered. Isshin would see Ashina soil under his feet before he died.
Isshin would end his life peacefully in the lands of his forefathers, or he would kill himself trying.
