==History==
By 1582, the Pirate Alliance was formed and wreaked havoc across Wakasa. Their actions caught the attention of [[Takeda Motoaki]], a member of the secret organization [[Shinbakufu]], who striked a deal with member [[Samemaru]] to massacre the [[Niwa clan]] in both [[Obama]]<ref name="Red Walls">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Red Walls]]</ref> and [[Tsuruga]].<ref name="Revenge">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Revenge (memory)|Revenge]]</ref> 

Meanwhile, Samemaru also found a relationship with [[Portuguese Rite of the Templar Order|Portuguese Templar]] [[Duarte de Melo]] within the [[slavery]] trade.<ref name="Dark Waves">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Dark Waves, Black Ships]]</ref> However, the alliance's actions also caught the attention of biwa master [[Shido]], who placed a post in Tsuraga for anyone to aid in taking down this league of pirates.<ref name="Pirate Alliance"/>

When they attacked [[Niwa Nagahide]] in Obama, the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Kakushiba ''ikki'']] members [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] and [[Yasuke]] were fortunate to be there to assist him to defeat his attackers. Afterwards, they spoke about The Performer being behind this attack on him and his clan.<ref name="Red Walls"/> They later traveled to Tsuraga, where they protected more Niwa members from the pirates' attacks. There, one of the elder told them of the biwa's music being found at [[Saifukuji Temple]].<ref name="Revenge"/>

Whilst they were in Tsurage, they saw the post of the Pirate Alliance and followed its lead. There, they found every member and assassinated them, with the exception of [[Sen]], who left his pirate ways after his wife's death and became a protector of [[Yura Fishing Village|Yura]] in [[Tanba|Tamba]]. From their conversation with Sen,<ref name="Pirate Alliance"/> they later investigated a commotion revolving with "The Poisoner" and his daughter [[Oni-yuri]].<ref name="Sweet Lies">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Sweet Lies]]</ref> In the end of their investigation, they later gained Oni-yuri as a new ally for their league.<ref name="Sweet Revenge">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[Sweet Revenge]]</ref> 

After Samemaru and Takeda Motoaki died at the hands of Yasuke and Naoe, respectively,<ref name="The Performer">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[The Performer]]</ref> they met with Shido again and gifted him Motoaki's biwa, informed him of Motoaki's initial plan against them and told him of the alliance's downfall. Thanking them, Shido gifted them with a key to a chest at [[Koromodako Cave]] and also joined their league as a scout.<ref name="Pirate Alliance"/>
