[edit] Clan War and Day of Thunder
Turi led Tsuko's Heart, a unit dedicated to the memory of Matsu Tsuko, during the Clan War, and fought during the Second Day of Thunder in 1128. It was believed that he single-handedly turned the tide at the west wall of Otosan Uchi.[1]
[edit] Oblivion's Gate
Turi fought at the Battle of Oblivion's Gate in 1133. During the retreat from the battle he defended a canyon alone so that the army could reach the wall. Turi was presumed killed.[1]
[edit] Dark Oracle
It truth, Turi had become the next Dark Oracle of Water. It is not known exactly when he took this position, but it was not widely known until he made his existance known to the Lion Clan in 1159.[1]
[edit] Tsuno
In 1156, Turi approached the Tsuno leader Tsuno Kurushimi with a proposed alliance to destroy the Lion Clan. This led to the Tsuno attacking the Lion in 1158 and subsequent attacks on the Hall of Ancestors and Kitsu Tombs in 1159.[1]
[edit] Akodo's Remains
Turi recovered the remains of Akodo One-Eye, and in 1160 decided to lay a plot to gain a vassal from the Lion. Turi killed the scout Matsu Giriko and used the body to deliver a message to the Lion Clan. The message told the Lion Clan Champion Matsu Nimuro and his daimyo of Turi's new role, and proposed a trade: the remains of Akodo for a vassal of true Matsu lineage. Matsu Domotai voluneered, and went through with the trade on Black Tear Mountain in the Twilight Mountains. Domotai then commited seppuku rather than serve Turi, claiming the right of a vassal to commit seppuku to rebuke his lord. Turi, confused by this act, wavered between his dedication to Jigoku and his desire for bushido and valor. Abandoning his plan to destroy the Lion forces, he left to contemplate his actions.[1]
