Rurouni Kenshin Comic Introduction:
At the age of seventeen, Musashi and his friend Bennojo leave their home province of Tajima to fight in a war. However, their army is defeated, and the two of them narrowly survive, fleeing the battlefield to save their lives... As deserters, they are pursued by samurai who aim to eliminate the remnants of the defeated army. They are helped by a mother-daughter pair, Akage and Otsu, allowing Musashi and Bennojo some respite. Later, due to an enemy encounter, Bennojo and Akage abandon Musashi to save themselves and flee. Musashi returns to the Miyamoto village to inform Bennojo's family about what happened, but along the way, he is pursued for breaking through a checkpoint... Upon returning to the Miyamoto village, Musashi is trapped by Bennojo's mother, the villagers, and the authorities. To break free, Musashi puts up a fight. Meanwhile, due to the incompetence of the soldiers and the desire to resolve the situation quickly, Sessaku sets off with Ayako to capture Musashi. Weakened by hunger and moved by Ayako's appearance, Musashi eventually collapses in her arms... After regaining consciousness, Musashi finds himself hanging from an ancient tree in front of the temple. Left to endure the elements for many days, teetering on the brink of life and death, Musashi is saved by Sessaku, but Sessaku takes him to a "graveyard"...
