The Scorpion archers killed all of his officers and both of her children, leaving Kukojin and his disorganized army to face two powerful Scorpion armies that were hidden up to the moment. Unable to bear the disgrace of being tricked, Kukojin committed seppuku on the fifteenth day of the Rooster of the year 600. The Shosuro woman also implied, although it was unknown whether she was lying or not, that she was bearing Kukojin's son, and was going to teach him to hate the Crane with all his heart.
