After completing Act One of Ghost of Tsushima, many new main missions and side missions are unlocked. The first mission I started playing was The Headman, which is a part of The Tale of Lady Masako. This mission is basically part of Lady Masako's revenge story.
At the top of the list of those who killed Lady Masako's entire family was a traitor, Sadao. He was the headman of Kuta Farmstead. He had once worked under Masako's clan, and was even appointed to this position by Lady Masako's husband. But he later betrayed and was involved in the murder of Masako's family.
Now Lady Masako's first goal is to find Sadao and punish him. But the problem is that Sadao is very clever, so he is hiding somewhere. He could not be found. However, his brother Hachi is a little stupid. A while ago, he was seen heading somewhere in a horse-drawn carriage carrying food. Lady Masako thought that maybe Hachi was going to give food to his brother Sadao.
With this idea in mind, Sakai and Lady Masako decided to follow Hachi. Because if they followed him, they might find out where Sadao was hiding. They quickly headed down the road that Hachi had taken. After going a little way, they saw Hachi standing on the side of the road talking to himself. Listening to his conversation, it was clear that he was a bit of a stupid person. After a while, he drove forward again, and Sakai and Masako followed him quietly.
Later, they see Hachi stop by a group of bandits. The bandits ask him why he has come. Hachi says he has brought them food. The bandits then tell him to leave the food and leave, there is no need to go inside. Hachi leaves the food and leaves, and the bandits take the food and head towards their hideout.
Seeing this, Sakai and Lady Masako followed the bandits. From their conversation, it seemed that the bandits were not very happy with Sadao. They were saying that Sadao needed to be removed and a new headman needed to be found. After a while, they reached a small hut. There were two rooms and many bandits were guarding outside. Lady Masako thought that Sadao might be hiding here. So she didn't hesitate and started a direct attack. Jin Sakai was forced to join the battle.
Sakai first used his bow to kill the distant archers. Then he took his sword and started fighting the remaining bandits. The bandits were not very skilled fighters, so it was not very difficult to defeat them. With the help of Lady Masako, they killed all the bandits in a short time.
But even after searching the entire place, Sadao was not found. Lady Masako was a little disappointed. However, one important thing was found - Sadao's wife was there. Then Lady Masako had a new plan. She decided to interrogate Sadao's wife and find out where her husband was hiding.
