Introduction
In the chaos of the
Miko matured in the wilderness and becoming a Yamabushi, learning his master's syncretism of Daoism, Buddhism and Shintoism, and soon started venturing into villages out of curiosity. He found that the common people of the vill]]ages live in poverty and suffering, and began using his spiritual powers to help them. But his anger at the self-serving rulers and their petty power-struggles grew until he came into open conflict with the Imperial Court (but not the Emperors and the Imperial Family itself, as he befriended some of its members, such as Otsu-no-Miko, a prince of the Tenmu Emperor, who, historically, was set up and killed by the Jitō Emperor in order to secure her son's position as Crown Prince), especially Fujiwara no Fuhito, setting Miko down a long path as a champion of the oppressed, and of his perillious spiritual journey.
