Question

A commander fought so recklessly against one of these groups that, when he retired and removed his armor, two bullets fell out of his shirt. Campaigns against these groups were designated as “mountain hunts” and involved cutting off noses as trophies. The formation of these groups was inspired by letters from their leader called ofumi. One of these groups ran a century-long feudal state after wresting control from Togashi Masachika in Kaga Province. Rennyo eventually tried to distance himself from these groups, who had organized to defend him against aggression from Enryaku-ji. The central temple of True Pure Land Buddhism trained these “single-minded leagues” (10[1])from ranks of peasants. These groups operated out of the fortress of Ishiyama Hongan-ji until 1580. For 10 points, name these loosely organized religious leagues that were subdued in a decade-long campaign by Oda Nobunaga. ■END■

ANSWER: ikkō-ikki [prompt on farmers or peasants until “peasants” is read; prompt on Buddhists or monks or priests until “Buddhism” is read; prompt on warriors or similar answers; prompt on jizamurai] (Two bullets fell out of the shirt of Tokugawa Ieyasu after the Battle of Azukizaka.)
