I dont' want bodyguards

One thing is I don't want body guards.  The thing is that I can't be in all places at once.  I think it be best for the Sparrow to split up into small groups while they serving in other lands.

It would be good for the Sparrow Daimyo to train in Sparrow Kenjutsu.  After all if he is to lead the Clan he ought to know they fighting techniques.  After all what example would that set.  Perhaps the Daimyo could even improve the style.  For example, perhaps together they could come up with some forms for the Sparrow Bushi.  Sparrow clan has Crane roots, so that influence should be apparent.  Though, perhaps some Eagle Claw might be good as well.  I would like to see different weapons utilitized in forms, so that a Sparrow learns more than one weapon.

Also he could work with the Shugendo.  As the Sparrow are not known for their Shugendo.  Perhaps they could exchange knowledge.  This might form the basis of a study group.  Which someday might form a Sparrow Shugendo School.

Though the Daimyo of the Sparrow would be willing to give the Suzume family the rights to his life story.  These rights have been offered several million dollars.  So this ought to be more then enough to provide for the needs of twelve men.
