== Training ==
Jinzaburo was considered the worst student of the dojo by his sensei, who had got the appointment through political connections, not because he could teach. Jinzaburo was appointed as Road's End Village's magistrate. The War of Dark Fire, Part 6, by Shawn Carman and Nancy Sauer
== War of Dark Fire ==
In 1171 the headman of the village, Aki, warned him of invaders and fire on sight. Jinzaburo ordered to evacuate the village and began to prepare for defence. He was visited by two Fushihai Henshin monks, who advised him the yobanjin Army of Fire was arriving, and he would be the only opportunity the village had to survive. They advised to use Naginata against the invaders. 
=== Wounded ===
The attack was another fight of the War of Dark Fire, and Jinzaburo killed the barbarians, saving Road's End, but his ankle was damaged without possible recovery. He was tended by the local healer, but another yobanjin force approached the village. The Master of Void Shiba Ningen aware of the attacks had arrived. He killed the barbarians transforming them in flowers. The toll was so high that the Elemental Master fell unconscious. Jinzaburo reached him and felt his ankle completely recovered. He returned with Ningen in his arms, and two unnoticed Fushihai following. 
== Destroyer War ==
In 1172 Jinzaburo under the command of the Phoenix Clan Champion Shiba Tsukimi fought the yobanjin Army of Fire during the Destroyer War. His honor in battle and bravado rejoiced even the dead souls who lived in the fields of Yomi. The Fields of Yomi (Imperial Herald v3 #4), by Nancy Sauer
