Zenshū received aid for his rebellion from nearly half the ''daimyōs'' in the northern and eastern provinces, and took Kamakura. Mochiuji was forced to flee the city. 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''.
