Isshin Ashina The Tengu of Ashina Isshin Ashina (Shura) Isshin, the Sword Saint

Overview

The Tengu of Ashina is a warrior dressed like a tengu who works for the Ashina Clan during a "rat extermination" in Ashina Castle.

Encounters

The Tengu tasks Wolf in assisting him with "rat" extermination, handing him the description of a rat. Awards Ashina Esoteric Text as reward for completion.

Later on, he is found in the Sunken Valley, surrounded by a few dead Interior Ministry Agents.

Tengu is actually Isshin Ashina. The old warrior has the Tengu costume hanging on the wall of his room, and both characters exhibit the same cough. Emma comments on Isshin sneaking out from time to time, and Wolf recognises Isshin if he talks to him for the first time after meeting the Tengu first.

Additionally, if Wolf misses the opportunity to receive the Ashina Esoteric Text from him as his reward for "rat extermination", Isshin will give it to him in his room.

Dialogue
First Meeting Another rat. Ah, but those eyes... a starving wolf. Before I kill you, tell me your name. Tell me your name! No name to give? You shinobi are all the same. You die nameless, with no one to mourn you. However... Your left arm. A prosthetic shinobi arm, it reminds me of... (Bursts out laughing) That's it... a one-armed Wolf. I like it! Which means... Sekiro. This is what I shall name you.
Speaking Again You just win your battles. That alone is the most important rule of the Ashina style.

Follow-up:I am the Tengu of Ashina! Come, Sekiro. Care to hunt some rats with me?
