3 Answers Reflect 3 Different Characteristics

During 16th century, there were chaos and wars in Japan. That period has been called as the Sengoku period, it is when most mighty warriors and brave samurais were born.

Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu and three of the most powerful and famous landlord by that time. Hideyoshi is the subordinate of Nobunaga, while Ieyasu is the loyal friend and ally of Nobunaga. The power of controlling Japan just slipped from the hand of Nobunaga, to Hideyoshi and finally Ieyasu. This is how destiny went.

This historical stories of Sengoku Period are very famous among Japanese, and nearly everyone of them know about it. It's like Three Kingdoms and Genghiz Khan for chinese history, Alexander the Great and Troy for western histories, Hang Tuah and Kesultanan Melayu for our countryland's history. I would highly recommend you to google search it to know futher about it.

Let's begin with their conversation.

Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Ieyasu were observing birds. Someone brought up a question. What would you do if the bird is not singing.

Hideyoshi : I will do anything to make the bird happy so that it will sing, like providing it with food.

Ieyasu : I will just simply wait until the bird want to sing.

Nobunaga : I will kill it. Why should I do anything else?

At the end, Nobunaga nearly take over all Japan. However, he was being betrayed by his own retainer and was killed in a resort. This incident is well-known as Incident at Honnouji, the Japanese still mention about it nowadays.

Then the power took over by Hideyoshi, and slipped to Ieyasu's hand when Hideyoshi died. Ieyasu lead his troop to defeat Hideyoshi's son and completely annihilated Toyotomi's Forces after the win at Sekigahara.

The story told us that "Patience is the key to success." If you are interested, please search it. Perhaps one day we can sit down and chat about it. Until now, none of my friends know about story in Sengoku Period. Hope that there will be one soon. ^^
