The Dragon daimyo were ordered to prepare their bushi, the Dragon must move beyond their borders at last. Mitsu accompanied Mirumoto Hitomi, who led the Army of the Rising Wave marched to Otosan Uchi A Call to Witness (Dragon Clan letter) to aid the Prince. The army entered into Lion territory bypassing the Lion-controlled bridge and crossing the Drowned Merchant River. In the middle of the disputed territory west of Toshi Ranbo, not far from the Lion city of Oiku, Mitsu decided to interven against a group of rōnin who were torturing peasants. Hitomi rebuked his decision, which had put the mission in jeopardy. Eventually they were intercepted by a Lion army led by Ikoma Tsanuri, who granted them safe passage so long as they did not interfere their conflict with the Crane, continued eastward and did not turn back.

=== Aiding the Prince ===
When the Army arrived Otosan Uchi, Hitomi moved inside the city to meet the Ruby Champion Agasha Sumiko. In the meantime, Mitsu noticed that the Imperial prince Hantei Daisetsu was fleeing the capital with Iuchi Shahai, realizing that Daisetsu was the Prince his Lord had ordered to aid. Daisetsu's goal was to reach Khanbulak, and from there it would be only a small step to leave the Empire. The trio took different nicknames, Minoru for Mitsu, Kane for Shahai, and Akio for the Crown Prince. Eventually they reached a monastery inside the edge of Dragon lands, where a group of Perfect Land followers formed by two rōnin, Ichirō and Satto, and three peasants, Torao, Hoshu, and Yuki, offered them shelter for the winter.
