Because of his grudge against the emperor, he had imprisoned the dragon god of rain and brought about a severe drought. The court sent a beautiful princess to seduce Narukami and make him drunk. She quickly released the rain god, who mounted to heaven with a cloudburst that make Narukami come to his senses in a howling rage.",
