By 1582, after the Kakushiba ''ikki'', Yoshikata and his daughter [[Rokkaku Katushime]] defeated and killed Shinbakufu member [[Akechi Kagemitsu]], Yoshikata gave Naoe a list of his fallen student shinobi that were wreaking havoc around the provinces.<ref name="Showdown in Sakamoto">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Showdown in Sakamoto]]</ref> Following a clue about Kaji's location being near a burning pagoda, they traveled to [[Hiei Foothill]].
