Oto-ukashi said, “In the Shiki village, Shiki-no-yasotakeru establishes his influence and in the Kazuraki village, Akagane-no-yasotakeru. Both of them have intention to resist Your Majesty. I awfully worry about such a disadvantageous situation. Please accept my sincerely proposal, Your Majesty. Now, please bake eighty saucers with red clay of Mt. Ama-no-kagu-yama and hold a religious service for heavenly and earthy deities. If you fight against enemies after having done them, you will be able to victory over them at easy.” Hearing these words, the Sumer-mikoto was quite confident that the oracle in his dream must have been a propitious sign.
