This is what ended up happening, but Kagato initially wanted Tenchi-ken, 
because it was the ultimate key. All Trees, like Tsunami, had an associated 
key used for controlling it. Tenchi-ken was THE key, that could control 
anything. So, figure out how to use Tenchi-ken, and he has the means to 
controlling Tsunami...
