## History

### Origin

As the chief god of the Kunitsukami; Okuninushi was relaxing on the beach of Izumo he saw a tiny boat wash ashore, in that boat was the tiny Sukuna-hikona who promptly bit Okuninushi on the cheek. After being prompted by a nearby toad to seek out Kuebiko for information on the dwarf deity, as not even Sukuna-hikona himself knew where he came from.

The two traveled and grew closer and closer, eventually considering eachother brothers. One night when they were getting ready to fall asleep Okuninushi told Sukuna-hikona what he wanted most; to create a world with a unified people and plentiful sustenance. Moved by his dream Sukuna-hikona spoke to him for the first time and swore undying loyalty to him.

When they finally met Kuebiko, Kuebiko explained that Sukuna-hikona was a foreign deity and the son of the Kotoamatsukami Kamimusubi, much to the shock of Okuninushi.

The two then traveled to the highest layer of heaven by Sukuna-hikona shrinking them both and climbing a grain of millet with okuninushi on his back causing it to bend backwards and fling them into Takamagahara and met with Kamimusubi. Kamimusubi hugged Sukuna-hikona, almost crushing him. confirming that Sukuna-hikona was their son in elation she explained what happend, when Sukuna-hikona was born he was so small that he fell inbetween her fingertips and fell all the way down to the Earth, before landing in a foreign country. The two bid Kamimusubi farewell before returning to the Earth the same way Sukuna-hikona did all those years ago.

When they landed back in Izumo, Okuninushi and Sukuna-hikona gathered the Kunitsukami and enacted their plan to remake the world, consulting the rest of the Kunitsu on the specifics. Once they finished creating the modern world the rest of the Kunitsu heralded Okuninushi as their cheif god.
