-Mori Ranmaru
Ranmaru would wipe his blade on his shin, in that motion he would raise it again to prepare for anyone attempting to attack him while he was not looking. His men were doing very well, with only minor losses. Which were expected in wars, though this were short wars. The long was had yet to come, but Oda was prepared for them.
Ranmaru would continue attacking the archers along the wall span. Many had fallen now and the enemy ranks dwindled. His men fought to secure the gates to ensure no one escaped. He knew that his lord was outside, of course away a bit, but nonetheless he would slay any of Nobunaga's enemies.
-Oda Nobunaga
He scratched his chin as a breeze blew his hair back. His smile broke as he could see an approaching army. "Back so soon..." Nobunaga said aloud. As he could clearly see Oda banners on his own Samurai approaching. Hintsune Juyian had indeed impressed him. She was capable of securing a province before him.
Something he would not forget and would reward handsomely for it. If she wished to stay in Oda's employment, riches were sure to follow. As Nobunaga rewarded those who carried out his orders without regrets or questions. His aims were high and his ambition was not one to be trifled with.

Picking out Oda in the near distance, standing as a lone figure, Hintsune Juyian changed the armies steady pace into a forced march, before stopping them about 50 feet from Nobunaga. She would then move forwards towards him, taking the tied up Matsudaira Yoshiko with her.
"This was the leader of the enemy forces. Does he hold use to you? If not, he can die."
Straight to business, Juyian was aware that her lord was in the mist of a battle, even if he personally was not doing the fighting. Time was precious, and unsure how much of it he had to spare, she tried to get straight down to the facts.
"I won my skirmish with little losses, about just under a third of the enemy forces defected to us. The province is now secure and under our control. I figured I would come here to report and possibly assist."
On that note she would take a respectful bow and wait for her lords response.

-Oda Nobunaga
Nobunaga smirked. Juyian had accomplished the task given to her and in record time. He himself was still in midst of a battle though well on his way of success. "The leader is of no use, kill him. You have the right for being so successful." His smirk now was an evil grin. "As for these troops..." He looked into their faces at a distant. "They will be forced into our own ranks, I'm sure they won't object."
Hintsune Juyian had done well and pleased Nobunaga. Such a deed would not go unrewarded, but the reward would have to wait. Though he would indeed not forget her deeds. For the Demon King was cruel, but only to his enemies. His allies and loyal commanders were a different thing, they deserved the utmost respect and just rewards. "The battle is all but over. Order 1,000 of your Samurai to attack."
(Jump because a Turn Result here would not be necessary Alex, I know you know that I know that you know that it is cool :0 )

Listening to her lords words carefully, she would cut the throat of the tied up former general as she did so. Watching him pale and collapse to thr ground pleased her in a creepy kind of way. After Nobunaga had finished speaking, she would nod, and turn her back to him, headed towards the troops as she spoke.
"Yes. Their loyalty or their deaths are assured, that much is certain. I will send the Samurai as you have requested, but I will also set a Hex on the enemy troops, just to ensure minimal losses."
Having reached the troops by now, she would send out the order for 1000 Samurai to aid Ranmaru, and she personally would begin chanting for her Hex to take action.

Hintsune Juyian's 1000 Samurai would continue to carry out the orders already given to them. She would start to rest herself. The rest of the men would relax with and around her.
(Shortest, most un-inspired post ever. -_-)

-Mori Ranmaru
Most of the wall span was theirs now, as was the gates by now. Ranmaru was being very successful and in that moment reinforcements arrived. They were easily noticed by their Oda banners and colors. The reinforcing samurai would surely bring this battle to a close a lot sooner. His large katana slicing down the last archers around him and as the Samurai with him secured the section of wall.
-Oda Nobunaga
As Juyian left with her orders and 1,000 Samurai, Nobunaga would advanced towards the remaining reinforcements that were left behind by Juyian. He commanded to them. "Victory is ours, watch as we secure another province." His men inspired.

(Any troops killed/injured in this post do NOT count to troop totals within the battle, it is simply for fun, and to establish a roleplaying relationship with fellow players and opposing Factions.)
- The Fūma Apprentice
As the troops rested around their Generals, Nobunaga Oda, Ranmaru Mori, and Hintsune Juyian, they would sense an extra presence among them, an unfamiliar presence, and above all, a threatening presence, it didn't feel like they were being watched, more that they should be watching something, if any captains were to undergo a quick headcount, they would notice an extra Samurai, a Samurai who appeared to be doing nothing. And that same Samurai was there one moment, and gone the next, his clothing giving way to someone much taller, and more sinister looking that one could imagine.
"Let the shadows consume you" was all that was said before, with a wave of the hand, the figure disappeared as quickly as he came, within moments a small number of the Oda's troops lay dead, or severely bloodied upon the ground, the Ninja then brought his attention to Nobunaga and his Generals.
"My master sends his regards" he said simply before disappearing, anyone that had been educated well enough to understand what had just happened, would recognise the techniques of the Ninja from the Fūma Clan, 'Master' could only mean one thing, and The Apprentice knew that Oda would know who that was.
(Fyi, he's still there, and, as this is purely RP, and he's not participating in the actual battle, No troops were harmed in the making of this post)

-Oda Nobunaga
Ahead of the troops that Hintsune Juyian had brought as reinforcements, Nobunaga would be disciplining his troops. As he noticed that one samurai was odd. Not that the colors were wrong, they definitely portrayed 'Oda'. Something did catch Oda's eye, his suspicions confirmed. The 'odd samurai' began to advance forward and incapacitate one of the Oda Samurai. His words that of caution. "My master sends his regards."
A sure threat and one that Oda Nobunaga would not take softly. "Men, prepare yourselves! We deal with these Ninjutsu master's known as Ninja." His hand now scratching his chin. "Do not fear them, the Oda Samurai are well trained and with me at its helm, no one shall stand before us." His words more of command and decree. All those loyal to the Oda, specifically the samurai, were in awe. As Nobunaga took the warning from the Fuma ninja quite softly, but was preparing his men in awe inspiring words.
In his own mind Oda knew who these ninja's master was. One Fuma Kotaro, a man he had experience with. 'The Winds of Chaos' was a title this ninja had acquired. Oda would now have to proceed more cautiously with his next plans. For he had plans for everything and was well prepared.
-Mori Ranmaru
Advancing along the wall span, his samurai with him, the enemy archers fell with ease. Their training obviously lacking in close quarters combat, Ranmaru's unit was doing very well. With so few left he could not help but notice the Oda reinforcements aiding the bulk of his own unit throughout the fort grounds.
"Victory is close at hand!" His voice full of spirit, he was young. His large katana hacking down men in one or two slices. The Samurai unit with him was doing very well. Being better close quarter fighters, their blades aimed for enemy necks and torso's.

- The Fūma Apprentice
A dry smile formed on the invisible Ninja's face, the Oda seemed less disconcerted by his presence than most, this either showed well contained fear, or, sheer arrogance, either one would play it's part when his master begun his advances, their numbers had grown drastically in only a short time, and, they would continue to do so until the entire land was brought under his masters rule, his smile faded however as he chose his next move, appearing once again before them, disguised as Oda Nobunaga himself, imitating the Oni King's gesture perfectly, simply watching carefully, his weapons were concealed perfectly, and he would be unable to attack, he'd have to time this perfectly
"Oda Nobunaga, I suggest you bow before the Winds of Chaos, for we are many, and unnecessary death seems a small bit ridiculous, do you not think, as a great man yourself? he asked simply, still in the form of Nobunaga himself, he merely watched and waited for an answer, and he highly doubted that the man's own men would strike him without his orders..

Hintsune Juyian would watch this commotion with confusion and slight awe. Being rather dazed and having to rest, she couldn't truly figure out what was happening, so she mumbled an order to the defected Ashigaru.
"Something is happening regarding our lord. Deal with it."
Noticing their ladies rather disoriented state, those that were not with Ranmaru fighting their hardest and those that were not just transferred over to Oda would surround Hintsune Juyian and attempt to protect her.

Turn Results: The wall was almost clear of the enemy archers, due to Mori Ranmaru's effort. Juyian's reinforcements are well sweeping through the fort and a mysterious Ninja has appeared and begun impersonating Oda Nobunaga. They are communicating among each other, the real Nobunaga and the Ninja look a like.
Troop Counts:
Oda: 2,920 Samurai Reinforcements: Hintsune Juyian- 2,932 Samurai 965 Ashigaru (defected)
Ota: 240 Ashigaru 80Archers

-Oda Nobunaga A threat from the Fuma ninja, Nobunaga would take this with a grain of salt. Though he would not show it. This ninja insulted him in front of his men, to keep his authority his words would be strong. "I fear no 'winds of chaos' and certainly not a man who hides in the shadows and copies me and can not be himself!
His right hand lifted his dark blade. Lowering it swiftly in front of the Fuma Ninja, an obvious threat. His eyes darken as his left hand raised into a fist towards the ninja. "The Oda fear no one." His words confident and strong. Surely inspiring his men.
-Mori Ranmaru Swiftly, his large katana fell a few more helpless archers. The battle was coming close to an ending. His men all confident with Hintsune Juyian's reinforcements. He counted as many more died by his blade. How many had he killed, five, ten? He did not know, but it really mattered not.
The battle was surely to end soon, but Ranmaru was away from his master's side for far to long. A bad feeling crept over Ranmaru. He was always at his side, defending him.

- The Fūma Apprentice.
The younger Ninja smirked visibly as Oda threatened him, holding back a slight laugh in order to speak "I am the apprentice of the lord of my clan... I do not impersonate fools, I become better versions of them, while retaining your form, I am faster, smarter, and above all, unstoppable to all but my master, you say you do not fear the winds of Chaos... This, is a foolish mistake, and one that will cost you dearly"
His voice bounced around the men before he transformed back into his real self, still smilling as, in the same movement, he visibly moved for his twin shuriken, if any were to try and stop the movement, they would not live to regret it, he was not intending harm, merely a small gesture of his own strength. As his hands grasped the two large weapons, his arms snapped to his sides and they flew from his hands, spinning around him in his critical strike, a very small number of Ashigaru were struck by the flying weapons and seemed to just fall apart as the blade's, sharpened by the severe winds on the Fūma's home Island, passed through skin, sinew, muscle and bone like it were all paper and wood.
"Farewell, fool-king of the Oda" Was the last thing seen or heard of the Ninja before he faded away into nothing.
(Troops injured/killed in this post do not affect troop totals at the turn results.)
