That last incident sounded more like an act of state terrorism.Chances are the monastery was not a threat to Nobunaga militarily.But he was probably worried the monks might one day try to regroup in the mountains and become a viable fighting force again in the near future.So he decided to send a bloody message to them and their supporters.That he can and if need be will attack them whenever he wants.The monks cannot protect you do not cross me.
So, Buddhist monks with begging bowl and weapons…
