You'll need to visit Kokofuji Temple and wait by a leaning tree found southwest of it to start the mission. Interact with it and choose which protagonist you'll tackle the quest with. Note that the mission will play out differently based on who you choose.

Choosing Yasuke will put you in a more combat-focused approach along with the objective of figuring out the identity of the Wise, whereas Naoe's section will be more stealth-focused with the objective of figuring out a conspiracy.

Tackle through the objectives, and you'll ultimately end up killing The Wise, which will also mark the end of the quest, triggering its rewards, including the Winds of War Kusarigama in Assassin's Creed Shadows.
