In 1170 Etsuko talked with Toritaka Kaiketsu at the Shinomen Mori while they were investigating the rumors of the Spider Clan. They talked beside an abandoned Spider compound. After she left arrows were fired to Kaiketsu's scouts, and the Crab believed it was a Unicorn ambush, despite the long standing alliance between the Crab and Unicorn Clan. Words & Deeds, Part 1, by Shawn Carman She left behind Shinjo Isuke at command of the infantry, while Etsuko arrived the Naga cities with time enough to make a defence. It was later revealed that her unit did not have mounted archers in it, and that the ambush were set up by someone else. Words & Deeds, Part 2, by Shawn Carman Kaiketsu reched alone the Naga city, and talked with Etsuko. The Crab told Isuke and his men had been killed to the last man, to realize later that they had not bows as part of their weaponry. Etsuko passed him a Tsuruchi bow which had been found hidden in the woods near the battlefield.
