Mission details: Within a ten meter diameter sand ring, under the rules of Sumo wrestling you’re to beat your opponent without the use of projectile jutsu, though Takeminakata has no arms, he will use tremors and earthquakes as well as his shoulders and immeasurable density in an attempt to cause his opponent to lose his footing. Takeminakata stands at 9 feet in height and is solid and Adonic in build, an opponent with lower than SS rank strength fighting him would have to find a means to do so without the use of raw strength.

'So it came to this...‘
Takeminikata, also known as Minakatatomi-no-Kami. A Shinto god who appears in the Kojiki and derivative accounts. These sources portray him as one of the sons of Ōkuninushi, god of Izumo and lord of Ashihara no Nakatsukuni. When the gods of Takamagahara sent Takemikazuchi and another messenger to demand that Ōkuninushi relinquish his authority over the Ashihara no Nakatsukuni to the progeny of the sun goddess Amaterasu, he asked to confer with two sons of his first before giving his decision. While the first son, Kotoshironushi, immediately accepted their demands and advised his father to do likewise, the second, Takeminakata, carrying an enormous rock on the fingertips of one hand, challenged Takemikazuchi to a test of strength, grabbing the messenger's arm. Upon having his arm seized by Takeminakata, Takemikazuchi transformed it into an icicle and then a sword blade, preventing Takeminakata from holding onto it. In return, Takemikazuchi grasped Takeminakata's arms, crushing them like a reed and throwing it aside. The injured Takeminakata then fled in fear, pursued by the heavenly messenger. Upon arriving at "the sea of Suwa in the province of Shinano", Takeminakata begged for his life, vowing not to leave Shinano at any pretext. Since those days, Takeminakata was known to loathe Takemikazuchi vehemently, while the test of their strength against one another was considered the birth of Sumo wrestling...
