How to acquire the Dragon's Edge Katana in Assassin's Creed Shadows

You'll acquire the Dragon's Edge Katana in Assassin's Creed Shadows by simply completing the "Topple the Traitor" story mission in the eleventh chapter of the campaign — Fall of the Shinbafuku. Your target for this quest will be the Two-Faced of the Shinbafuku — Akechi Mitsuhide, who is revealed to be the mastermind behind the Honnoji incident.
The quest

This mission will be one of the final ones you'll do in the chapter. To track it, open the Shinbafuku/Onryo circle menu and select it below Akechi Mitsuhide's picture. Your next objective is to locate Hideyoshi, who can be found in the south of Oyamazaki Village.
This mission will be filled with gameplay variations, as you'll switch between Naoe and Yasuke multiple times in this quest. Thus, it ultimately is up to you to choose which person you choose to play — the game will switch over to the other person in the second half accordingly.
Things will ultimately lead up to a boss fight with Akechi. While it isn't particularly difficult, his moves will require you to memorize his patterns and react accordingly rather than relying on the game's telegraphing.
Completing this story mission will give you the titular katana, along with other rewards.
