After completing your talk with Tomiko in the hideout, you will be able to start the quest. You will be given three clues to try to locate Kyonyo.

• He is south of Sakai
• He is west of Izumi Coast
• He is at the Gansenji Temple

Open your map where you can find the location of Sakai south of Osaka near the coast. Head there and use your Scout ability to locate your objective. Now go to Gansenji temple. You will likely not have ventured into the area yet, so you might need to travel there by foot or your horse. There is a viewpoint close to the temple that you can synchronize with.

Once done, go to the Gansenji Temple, where Naoe will remark about a fight and get a better view. You can enter the temple by climbing the wall. Inside, there will be a few enemies that you must eliminate. Employ either stealth or go all-out using your weapons to take down the enemy bandits and help the warrior monks of the Gansenji Temple.

The enemies will be around Level 5 so you will not have much problem eliminating them regardless of the method you choose. Once done, you will find Kyonyo who will thank you for your assistance. He will agree to help you in carrying out your vengeance and will introduce you to another warrior Monk of the temple, Yaya.

With that, The Fatherless Monk main quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows will come to a close. You will receive the following rewards:

• Uncommon Light Armor - Shrouded Shinobi Robes
• Quest Item - Kyonyo's Letter

After completing The Fatherless Monk main quest in Assassin's Creed Shadows, you can either continue other quests or follow up on the next mission, where you must talk to Kyonyo again.
