The Tsutsui Agent
The Tsutsui Agentis found inKoriyama Castlein northwestern Yamato. He is in the courtyard directly behind the actual castle tower. He is heavily protected by a wide range of enemies. If you are comfortable with combat, you can smash in and kill him with Yasuke. Otherwise, using Naoe to sneak through the window of his building may be the prudent course of action. Make sure to complete the Messenger’s sub-quest at Koriyama Castle before leaving.

The Messenger
Once you’ve defeated the previous four agents, The Messenger’s location will be much easier to reveal. He can be found meditating at theKofukuji Templein theNara Heartlandregion ofYamato. The clues say that he only meditates at night, but we found him during the day, so that seems to not be the case.
