The following year, B.C. 662, on the twentieth of February, the Sumera-mikoto commanded generals to conscript soldiers and to train them well in preparation for expected battles. At that time, there were three native powers who had not yet submitted to him relying on their own forces.
The scene of the submission of Nigihayahi-no-mikoto is certainly the final climax of the eastern expedition which the Sumera-mikoto made. However, this had not been the last scene of it yet. Thereafter, the force of the Sumera-mikoto had to fight against several native powers for a while.
While the editor of the Chronicles of Japan suggested that there would have been a diarchy established between Nigihayahi-no-mikoto and Nagasune-hiko in the capital of the nation, that of the Kojiki described only that Nagasune-hiko was a brother in law of Nigihayahi-no-mikoto, because Nigihayahi-no-mikoto had married his sister, Tomiya-heme[Mikashikiya-hime]. Furthermore, according to the description of the Kojiki, Nagasune-hiko seemed to resident separate from Nigihayahi-no-mikoto.

In the sequence, Nigihayahi-no-mikoto decided to pledge allegiance to the Sumera-mikoto with his followers. The Sumera-mikoto treated him with great favor, because he well recognized that Nigihayahi-no-mikoto had descended from the Heaven as well and that he showed his loyalty to the Sumera-mikoto now. Nigihayahi-no-mikoto is said to be the ancestor of the Mononobe-tribe.
In addition to the above-mentioned reason, Nigihaya-hi-no-mikoto recognized that Nagasune-hiko was iniquitous person and lacked the power of understand for distinguishing deities from human-beings, even though he earnestly taught him that. Therefore, Nigihaya-hi-no-mikoto finally killed Nagasune-hiko.
The reason why Nigihaya-hi-no-mikoto ruined Nagasune-hiko was that he well recognized that the deities in the heaven had been deeply concerned over the descendant, Ninigi-no-mikoto, who had landed upon the earth as the grand-son of Amaterasu-oomikami. It seems that Ninigi-no-mikoto should be exceptional existence among the descendants from the deities in the heaven.

Ngasune-hiko, recognizing the proof proposed before, stiffened up in front of the Sumera-mikoto. Though Nagasune-hiko stood in awe of the descendant from deities, he could not abandon his intention of waging war against the force of the Sumera-mikoto. However, it was too late, because he had already made all necessary preparation for the war.
