A group of Tū-pāhau's men went out with baskets and in the darkness, Rakapare and Tama-oho's men mistook them for members of their own group and handed all the crabs over to them. When he realised what had happened, Rakapare led a war-party down the beach to attack Tū-pāhau, crossing Kōpia bay with the tide almost full. As they approached, Tū-pāhau chose to have sex with his wife, Hine-te-ao, taking no action against the approaching forces until they were already climbing the ramparts of the fort. Earlier, Tū-pāhau had filled his three

Although Tū-pāhau had only a small force of 140 men, his men won the battle and put Tamure's force to flight. As he pursued the enemy forces, Tū-pāhau caught up with Tamure, tackled him to the ground, and bit his head to show that he had won, but then let him go. Because of this mercy, Tū-pāhau was called the

464:"Night-eater can fight; Day-eater is off," which is now a proverbial saying. When Rakapare and his men reached Rau-ngāwari, Tama-oho's men were not there. Lacking Tama-oho's support, Rakapare had to flee inland. Jones says that, Tū-pāhau caught up with him just after he had crossed the Kaiwaka river and threw his spear across the river, killing Rakapare and another. As a result, the place was named Nga Awa-pūrua ('The double streams').

to Tū-pāhau, dumping the fish on an island at the mouth of the Turi-akina, which therefore became known as Te
Parapara-i-ō-tapu ('The-scraps-from-the-sacred-food'). This incident angered Tū-pāhau and also meant that he was now aware that his forces were the same size as those of Rakapare and Tama-oho. Pōmare places this incident after the journey down the river, while Jones places it beforehand.

These ropes were hung slack under the water and the plan was for Rakapare and Tama-oho's men to pull them tight as the

After Tū-pāhau had settled in the region, Rakapare and Tama-oho went out fishing and caught a great haul. When they returned, Tū-pāhau's men went down and asked for a share of the catch. Seeing that there were 140 of them, Rakapare gave them 140 fish, an insultingly small amount. The people returned

As they fled, Rakapare called on Tama-oho to regroup and counter-attack at Rau-ngāwari. However, Tama-oho had noticed that

A number of places along the line of
Rakapare's flight towards Rau-ngāwari are named for warriors killed by Tū-pāhau's men. They are: Tōtara-pounamu (the mouth of Te Tauhua), Kōpia Bay, Waihī, Turi-akina, Toka-piko, and
