History[edit | edit source]

In 1582, the Kakushiba ikki members Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke ventured onto castle grounds to find any sign of Kyonyo, who was being hunted down by a group of bounty hunters. Finding a trace, they moved towards the adjacent temple grounds.^[1] While at the castle, Naoe and Yasuke eliminated three samurai daisho, collected a storage key, and recovered a kanabō Tale Smasher from the castle's hidden treasure chest within a storage room.^[2] They also acquired a unique ammo box from one of the castle's residences for Niwa Nagahide's collection.^[3]
