He was very angry at the sight of how land and power hungry some warlords were. He then led a resistance against those warlords. He was very appalled to see how Oda Nobunaga would barely even think before burning random temples to achieve his end. After seeing this, he challenged Nobunaga to an all-out war. In 1570 Nobunaga attacked the Honganji, which had become a fortress well stocked with provisions and firearms, without success, forcing him to seize the Honganji's satellite forts. To ensure that he would defeat Nobunaga, he formed alliances with many feudal lords such as Asakura , Mori , Uesugi , and Asai . But to Kennyo's downfall, Nobunaga skillfully organized his troops to penetrate his strongholds at Ishiyama . Finally, Kennyo negotiated a ceasefire, after ten years of battle. Nobunaga accepted the offer: The Ishiyama Honganji complex was to be abandoned, but the defenders were given pardon and allowed to retain the Honganji's temples in Kaga, taken by Oda in the conquest of that province.
