A Call To Arms! [Recruitment]

[Kenshin Uesugi]

The time was now. There was no denying it. With the mighty Oda Clan making land changing moves and conquering everything they saw fit, it would only be a matter of time before they would arrive here. The people, with no firm leader in control right now, would then be forced to live under his cruel and ambitous ways. This was not the life he wanted for his people. The people, who had always been there for him. Even when he was just a teenager. Now grown up, it was his time to protect them. It was his time to save the lands and expand. That would have to come later though, because of the lack of man power he currently held.

"It seems the Oda are looking to unify this land through means of conquest. By just looking at the fast pace he has been moving, it seems he is indeed a powerful foe. However...I must protect my people. I will protect Echigo."

It was going to take more than saying that though. The people needed more than just some person who made claims. No, they needed some body to go out and act. They needed someone strong, someone who they could rely and put all their trust in. More importantly, they needed someone who would fight for peace and tranquility. They needed a warrior. They needed a leader. Kenshin...was their leader. He was guided by justice. He would make sure that peace would come to this land, and if he were to fail doing so, then he would still continue on valiently to his death. This was what drove him. Peace, justice, honor, and tranquility.

Kenshin would find himself in a Buddhist Temple upon opening his eyes. It seems that he had been praying. Praying for his people and believing in Bishamonten to give him strength to survive in these turbulent times. Standing up to his full height, the Uesugi Clan's God of War would begin to make his way out of the upper room he was inside and towards a nearby balcony. Upon making it to the fresh air outside, his black and icy eyes would scan his surroundings. He watched as the busy people roamed the streets. Some waved to acknowledge his presence while others bowed. These people believed in him and there was no doubt in his mind that they were willing to put their lives on the line for him. The people held such loyalty. Within a few minutes, people would being gathering outside the temple to see just what the fourth son of Nagao Toamekage had to say.

"People of Echigo...my family, it has come to my attention that the Oda Clan have been seemingly conquering land at a seemingly fast pace. I know some of you worry that without no one of real leadership here, that Echigo just might be conquered. I stand here to say...fear not. I am here by making my claim to protect Echigo and eventually Tohoku. For those who are not afraid...follow me. Honorable warriors, take up your swords and spears and march with me into the battlefields!"

A thunderous applause would then follow the speech. It would seem the people here were indeed willing for someone to lead them to a place of serenity. Kenshin Uesugi...would be that someone.
