Siege of Gisei Toshi

The Siege of Gisei Toshi was a battle fought at the hidden city of Gisei Toshi in 1165. The battle was between bloodspeaker forces commanded by Yajinden and Iuchiban and Phoenix Clan forces commanded by Isawa Nakamuro, the Master of Air. It was a fierce and drawn out battle which lasted well over one week.

The battle began with Yajinden and Akodo Tadenori arriving at Gisei Toshi with an army of bloodspeakers. Yajinden then darkened the sky and summoned a zombie army. Nakamuro defended the city from its wall, recently armed with the Fortune Bishamon's Spear. The battle fared badly for the Phoenix until the arrival of Dragon and Monkey forces under the command of Mirumoto Kenzo and Toku. When the allied forces realized that the bloodspeakers might capture some of the Black Scrolls Toku volunteered to lead a contingent to take the scrolls away from the city and sacrificed his own life to stop Yajinden from capuring them.

The battle continued and seemed to be looking slightly better for the Phoenix when Iuchiban appeared in the city. Nakamuro fought Iuchiban and would have been defeated by the bloodspeaker if not for the timely arrival of Shiba Aikune. Aikune used Isawa's Last Wish to move Gisei Toshi to a new location, hiding it once again and confounding Iuchiban's plans.

Kyuden Isawa and the Kusatte Iru
The other Elemental Masters besides Nakamuro were prevented from assisting at the siege because Iuchiban, along with Asako Kinuye unleashed the Kusatte Iru to attack Kyuden Isawa and tie them up with the estate's defense. The monster was eventually defeated through the combined efforts of Togashi Satsu, Isawa Sezaru, Isawa Taeruko, Shiba Ningen, Isawa Ochiai and Doji Akiko. The victory came with a price, Taeruko's life.
