In 268 Secrets of the Dragon, p. 8 Ningi summoned the Dragon monk named Togashi Kaze and ordered him to show his unarmed fighting style known as Kaze-Do. As his techniques were only for peasants, because the peasants weren't allowed to carry weapons, Kaze refused and Ningi ordered the Emerald Champion to execute Kaze. When Emerald Champion Doji Kuzume refused to execute Togashi Kaze and committed seppuku the Emperor temporarily elevated Lion Clan Champion Matsu Noshin to the position and ordered him to execute Kaze, which he did.
