The 10,000 Needles is a faction engaged in military conflict against the forces led by Shinjo Kamo. Members of the 10,000 Needles, including Doji Setsuna and Torunako, actively participate in strategic battles aiming to achieve significant military objectives. The faction is known for its ability to coordinate assaults and execute complex tactical maneuvers on the battlefield.
In a critical moment during the conflict, the general ordered the seizure of Shinjo Kamo's banner, which was attached to his horse. Doji Setsuna devised a plan to take Shinjo Kamo's horse and the banner. Setsuna coordinated an assault, directing soldiers to throw heavy objects at Shinjo Kamo's horse while he prepared to dismount and secure the banner. The plan succeeded, and Setsuna managed to throw Shinjo Kamo to the ground and hoist the banner, signaling the achievement of the faction's objective. Following this, Torunako approached Shinjo Kamo for a duel. The arrival of imperial heralds, bearing the chrysanthemum banner, marked a significant turning point in the battle. The act of seizing the banner was anticipated to demoralize the 10,000 Needles, potentially leading to their rout due to high panic levels and insufficient discipline. The battle was eventually halted as the faction achieved its strategic objective, resulting in a symbolic defeat for the opposing Unicorn Clan forces.
