	Upon arriving in Japan, the [[China\|Chinese]] monk [[Jianzhen]] established an ordination platform at the temple to bestow the {{Wiki\|Bodhisattva Precepts}} onto the Japanese royal family.

	In 1582, the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins\|Kakushiba ''ikki'']] members [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] and [[Yasuke]] visited the temple upon the request of the abbot [[Hara Joken]]. While passing through an entrance, they found and met Joken near its eastern hall.

	~~However,~~ Joken excused himself ~~for~~ his other duties while Naoe and Yasuke sneaked around the temple per [[Matsunaga Kojiro\|Kojiro]]'s insistence.

Joken explained how he had fought for Nobunaga and kept relics of his past while recalling how Nobunaga had broken his promise of giving Yamato to the monks.<ref name="Temple Stories"/>

Naoe and Yasuke swiftly defeated them, only to later realize that they had stolen a holy script meant for the peace talks between [[Tsutsui Junkei]] and [[Akiyama Ayako]]. Joken blamed himself for allowing the theft to happen and was willing to commit ''[[seppuku]]'' to atone for his mistake, but Naoe and Yasuke offered to recover the scroll for him. Thanking them, Joken left to meet with Junkei at [[Koriyama Castle]] and tell him about the incident.<ref name="Temple Stories"/>

	At some point, Naoe and Yasuke returned to the temple and recovered four lost pages scattered around Tōdai-ji's buildings. While there, Naoe climbed ~~atop~~ the southeastern pagoda and surveyed the land. She and Yasuke also financed the establishment of a ''[[Kakurega\|kakurega]]'' west of the temple.<ref name="ACSH">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''</ref>		At some point afterwards, Naoe and Yasuke returned to the temple and recovered four lost pages scattered around Tōdai-ji's buildings.
