to defeat Ranmaru, Mitsuhide, and Hanzo to get the weapon while staying close
to Goemon. As you approach each officer the mission will activate to defeat
them. Also when you near them run up to them to get more time while Goemon gets
there because he will not stop to fight anyone. After you defeat Hanzo a supply
team will appear in the center of the map and you can now leave Goemon to go
get it. Matsukaze or another horse could be a big help.

This is a very tricky weapon to get. Basically you'll have to have Keiji Maeda
slay Nobufusa Baba, but it is not that easy. Here's a little guide made by
JZaber. This is a very in depth way of obtaining this weapon and try this and
it should work. Having the Matsukaze Saddle equipped will be a big help to
you.

1) Ok! Now start racing for Nagashino right away, once you get there, quickly
kill the general and gate captain. The quickest way, use the C4 attack to do
serious damage and take them out.

2) Good, now get back on your horse, and race towards Nobufusa's position. The
quickest way is to take the first open gate when you enter the main camp,
it'll be right in front of you. Get as close to Nobufusa's position as
possible. A cutscene will occur.

3) Ok, here's where the chaos begins. Now, there are 3 generals you need to
kill quickly, Nagahide Niwa, Toshiie Meada, and Kazumasu Takigawa. Takigawa
should be close since your heading for Nobufusa's position. Now quickly kill
Kazumasu and any musket units nearby. Killing the captain makes all 4 regulars
go away.

4) Ok, now head for Toshiie's position. He'll be close, so kill him quickly and
then head for Nagahide's position. At this point Katsuyori might say something.
Don't waste time here, kill Nagahide quickly while the speech is still going.

5) I recommend you save here. Now Katsuie Shibata is your next concern. Head
for his position, killing any troops around Nobufusa as you go. (Trust me,
he'll die if you leave him with 1 peon troop.) Kill the gate captain near
Katsuie to stop the flow of enemies near Nobufusa, now knock Katsuie off his
horse and kill him quickly.

6) Now, either during or after you kill or are killing Katsuie, an ambush group
will ambush Katsuyori. Get back to your horse and mount him quickly. Now head
for Ieyasu Tokugawa's position, you'll see why. Knock him off his horse and
kill him quickly and kill the gate captain near him if you like. Now get back
on your horse! 

7) Save here. Now race towards Nobufusa's position and kill any leftover
enemies near him, shouldn't be too many at this point. Now bolt to Katsuyori's
position. Help him out and kill a couple of the troops inside. Your biggest
concern right now is Mitsuhide Akechi, he's the only dangerous general at this
point. Kill him and resume killing normal troops. Sometimes the gates in the
back are sealed, so kill the 2 gate captains if they are.

8) We're near the finish line! By now Hanzo should have reached Nagashino. Now,
you have to be quick here, either go by foot or on horse, but get to Nagashino
and kill Hanzo, then head back to Katsuyori. Save here. Here comes the tricky
part.

9) Ok, now head for Keiji. Hit him ONCE so he'll follow you. He should have at
least more than or half his health. Get him to follow you to Nobufusa's
position, on foot or horse it don't matter. Keep close to Keiji as you go, get
too far and he'll start to head back. Lead him past any other generals and to
Nobufusa. If Nobufusa is on his horse this'll be easy, either way, get close
to Nobufusa and stop. Keiji will smack Nobu and you with his spear. This is
good. Now Nobu will fight Keiji. Now, get out of the way!

10) This is it, the last hurrah! Head back to Keiji and Nobufusa's position.
They should be engaged in combat. Don't get involved unless Keiji looks to be
losing. Keiji should slay Nobu. This is good, you'll get a message "Nobufusa
Baba has been slain!" "Reports show he died bravely defending the flank!" Keiji
should now say "A true warrior's death. I wish I could go that beautifully one
day." All this time you should be moving back to Katsuyori's position.

11) If all was done right, and if Katsuyori is out of danger, the supply team
should appear. They will us the same path Hanzo used to reach Nagashino. It's a
slim path next to the main camp. Now race to their position, horse is faster.
Kill the supply captain, and you now have your Douji-Kiri! Save here I guess.
Katsuyori should be retreating to the south, you can go defend him just in case
you want to see this operation safe to the end. Once he retreats, you clear the
stage and get your Douji-Kiri!

Yukimura will charge into the enemy camp. Assisst him like the mission says and
when you get trapped defeat enemies until the gates open and make sure Yukimura

Play the New Officer's "Battle of Okehazema" stage. The goal is to defeat all
enemy officers, excluding Nobunaga Oda, before Nobunaga reaches the Imagawa
camp. The supply team will appear in the Oda camp, defeat the captain for the
Benkei. Here's some advice. Equip Matsukaze or the Arabian horse. First, go
straight up towards Nobunaga and eliminate Hideyoshi, make sure you get him out
of the way. Then circle around the map, first take out the officer in the Oda
camp and continue around into the middle and finish the rest off. Then race
toward the supply team and kill the captain.
