Kitsu Somalia’s Central Hill Force is a military faction operating under the Lion Clan during a pivotal battle for a strategically important Central Hill and its fortification. The faction is led by Kitsu Somalia, a Shugenja commander, and includes notable members such as Matsu Morozane, a bushi leader, and Akodo Toronoko, an archer commander. Their primary objective is to hold Central Central Hill against the advancing Unicorn Clan forces while executing a strategy of attrition.
Kitsu Somalia coordinated her forces to concentrate on enemy units and invoked powerful fire spells, creating chaos among the Unicorn Clan ranks. This caused panic among the Unicorn Clan soldiers, prompting their commander to rally his troops. During the battle, Kitsu Somalia's bodyguard, Kitsu Yui, accepted a challenge from a Unicorn Clan officer and emerged victorious, further demoralizing the Unicorn Clan forces.
The Lion Clan's tactical advantage was solidified as they maintained control of Central Central Hill, despite sustaining casualties, including Matsu Morozane, who was severely wounded in a duel with a Unicorn Clan Shugenja. Kitsu Somalia used healing magic to stabilize him and extinguish the flames enveloping him. The engagement reached a turning point when an avalanche struck the battlefield, resulting in significant losses for the Unicorn Clan, allowing Kitsu Somalia's Central Hill Force to retain control of the fortification.
