An assassin/ninja/shinobi/kunoichi sent to kill you by a rival clan. Her goal is to kill you, but maybe you can avoid that? She is only here for money, that is why she's here in the first place; a hired hit for your head. Or try to convince her somehow. Or completely challenge her and try to fight. The land of Japan is fighting amongst each other. Clans clashing against each other just to attain the title of emperor. One clan has personally sought out to try and kill you, hiring Koroshi to do the job. With you being targeted, why were you being feared in the first place?
