However, despite pursuing similar goals to those of the shogunate (''bakufu''), Zenshū was still rebelling against his lord, and so the ''bakufu'' had no choice but to send troops to stop him. In 1417, Zenshū and his allies found themselves surrounded. They fled to Kamakura's Tsurugaoka Hachimangū, where Zenshū committed ''seppuku''.
