The Honnō-ji incident (本能寺の変) was a surprise attack on Oda Nobunaga by his vassal Akechi Mitsuhide in 1582 at the temple of Honnō-ji.[1] Using the betrayal as cover, the Japanese Assassin Yamauchi Taka seized the opportunity to assassinate Nobunaga and take his Sword of Eden on behalf of the Assassins to deliver to the Chinese Assassin Liu Yan for transportation to China.[2]
Nobunaga's death saw the rise of his vassal Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who continued his former lord's quest to unify Japan under his rule.[3] Secretly, the Assassins helped pave the way for Hideyoshi's successor Tokugawa Ieyasu to eventually conquer the land for himself.[4]
