To stand a chance in the fight, you need to master a few techniques. Interact with the scrolls outside the dojo by pressing R2. As you interact with each scroll, Master Enomoto will explain the technique to you. Once you are done with the scrolls, he will ask you to put what you have learned to the test by trying it against him.

Fight against Master Enomoto and use the Claw and Talon technique by pressing Triangle + Circle. Try it a few times against the old master till you’ve mastered it. Once that’s done, it’s time to hunt.

Follow Master Enomoto to the edge of the cliff by his dojo and use your spyglass to observe the forest. Look to the bottom left corner of your screen, and you’ll spot a secret spot with an extinguished campfire and a hidden path leading up to it. This is a smuggling route for prisoners. 

Follow Master Enomoto to the campfire and light it again. Hide in the bushes and use the old master as bait. As the Nine Tails take the bait, attack and kill them all. After you have defeated them, Enomoto’s grandson will reveal himself. Fend off the ambush and kill the estranged grandson. Once that is done, follow the old master back to his dojo.

Master Enomoto wishes to pass on his legacy, the first Kusarigama he trained with. Find all the Altars of Reflection and return to the Kusarigama to break it free and unlock it.
