In 1199 Mitohime was confronted by Bayushi Mitsuo, who wished to know the detail of his uncle, Bayushi Muhito. Korihime told to her cousin the sad history of her parents. Mitsuo left Mitohime, and swore Korihime would pay his uncle's death. Time later Mitohime was back at Tsuma when she was confronted again by Mitsuo, who was killed. Kakita Ikura's hatamoto mistakenly believed that Mitsuo had been after Ikura's life. After conversing with Mitohime, he learned that she had led Mitsuo to believe that Kakita Korihime, his target and her mother, was staying in Tsuma when she was actually elsewhere. Ikura offered Mitohime the opportunity to be his yojimbo after she said that she had little else to do other than return to her mother's estate.
