You are up against four enemies in this battle, collectively known as the Kunitsukami. Of the four demons, Okuninushi is the biggest threat, simply because he has access to healing spells (Media and Diarama), so he can prolong the battle. In addition to the healing skills, Okuninushi also has Me Patra, but the majority of ailments will be resisted by all of the enemies. In fact, Oyamatsumi is the only one weak to an ailment, Mirage, so it’s not even worth it to try and use ailments in this battle. Okuninushi also has Critical Wave, Agilao, and Fatal Sword for attacking skills. Since you can see Agilao here, that means you don’t need anyone weak to Fire. Okuninushi is weak to Ice, while resisting both Light and Dark.
Oyamatsumi is the leak threatening out of the bunch, as the only skills it has is Marakukaja and Tetrakarn. That means it doesn’t have any attacking skills to hit you with, but Marakukaja can definitely spell trouble, as it means you will be dealing lesser damage to everyone. If you plan on using Physical attacks, Tetrakarn can be annoying, but it only targets a single enemy, so it’s not going to be too troublesome. Oyamatsumi is weak to Fire, while resisting both Ice and Electric, and being immune to Dark.

Sukuna-Hikona, from a quick glance, doesn’t look too bad, but he can be a dangerous enemy here. Matarunda will play well with Oyamatsumi’s Marakukaja, so your damage will be doing even less than normal. In addition to this, Blinding Strike will hit a single character and lower their accuracy and evasion by one rank for three turns. Thankfully, the damage shouldn’t be too high, since Sukuna-Hikona’s Strength isn’t super high and the attack is classified as a weak one. The only damaging skill in his arsenal is called Eternal Blizzard, which is 3 to 6 weak Ice attacks to random foes. That means there’s a possibility more than two or three hits strike a single target. Sukuna-Hikona is weak to Electric, while being immune to Ice, and resisting both Light and Dark.
The final opponent to go over here is Take-Minakata, who doesn’t have too much going on for him. Berserker God is a single-target Physical attack that will likely do some decent damage. Other than that, Take-Minakata has both Zionga and Mazionga, so you will not want anyone weak to Electric in the battle. In fact, having one demon in your party that is immune to Electric can help a lot, since Mazionga will make them lose some turns. Take-Minakata is weak to Fire, while resisting Electric, so it shares a weakness with Oyamatsumi.
Buffs and debuffs can go a long way in this battle, especially to counter Marakukaja and Matarunda. Of course, getting all three on your team and the enemies can be a long process, as well as heavy on MP, too. So, if you can only choose one option, then it’s better to go with debuffs. As already mentioned, you will want someone with immunity to Electric and Fire here, as well as access to Fire, Ice and Electric skills. If you are using a magic-focused Nahobino, then you should have Ruinous Thunder still, but as mentioned before, you should be going after Okuninushi first, due to the healing. If you have two enemies’ health down at the same time, Okuninushi does seem to favor healing himself over healing everyone, so you could use this to your advantage.

One of the biggest problems with this battle, besides the number of enemies, is keeping tabs on your MP. By the point you have this quest available, you should have a good number of Chakra Drops in your inventory, as well as a few Chakra Pots. Do not be afraid to use them here, as the debuffs can be quite expensive. Also, it’s a good idea to try and focus on a single enemy until you defeat them, as this will help with limiting the amount of skills you have to use. Things will get a little easier as you start eliminating them, one-by-one, so you can start taking a little breather.
Once you have defeated the entire Kunitsukami, you will receive your reward, the Kunitsu Talisman, as well as unlocking Okuninushi for fusion.
