Naoyuki was the apprentice of Kuni Kana, an intense and dour shugenja. In 1123 they were part of an expedition mounted to retrieve Kikyo, an armor forged by Hida Osano-wo himself for his lost brother Hida Atarashi. Commanded by Hida Sukune, the younger son of his Lord Hida Kisada, and accompanied by the Kuni Daimyō Kuni Yori, they moved from the Kuni Castle to the Shinomen Mori, guided by the Nezumi Rememberer of the Tattered Ear Ros'ku, who had seen the armor in the Cave of Bloody Ghost Fire, within the dreaded Shadowed Swamps. The Crab expedition faced many dangers in their way to the Cave, such an encounter with an onikuma, the questioning of kansen to find the way to the swamps, or the disobedience of Hida Amoro while fighting a gashadokuro. A burden of pain had left Kana vulnerable to corruption, and she was affected by the invocation of kansen to find the Shadowed Swamps. In a madness state she attacked her own kin, but Hida O-Ushi crushed her head. Naoyuki had attempted to stop his master, but he was severely wounded and eventually his head was also crushed by O-Ushi.
