Insight : 140 Through his training, Bayushi Shujinko demonstrated the most valued asset of Bushido: that of Loyalty. Wholely devoted to the Scorpion, it became clear that he would make a skilled courtier; his willingness to manipulate others held no restriction. As a boy, however, his knack for remembering specific details opened a new path for him. Shujinko was told to put this skill to use for the clan: strive to become a magistrate, someone who would find such a talent of great use.

His apprenticeship to Kitsuke is political - an appeasement to the Dragon, but so that Shujinko can observe the Kitsuke method, and observe any merit it may have in their own agenda.... For the good of the Empire, of course.
