This saw the slaughter of Tawheta's priest, Hapopo, and many others among his kinsmen. Uenuku even stole Tawheta's daughter, Paimahutanga, to be his wife. This battle was called Whatiuatakamarae. Uenuku was not finished however, and using powerful incantations and spells, he summoned a great darkness, and the mists from the mountains to ascend to the earth, whereupon the enemy began to slaughter their own in confusion until only Tawheta and a handful of his men remained. Uenuku then summoned forth the light, and slaughtered the remaining enemies with ease. This second battle was called the Battle of Rotorua, or Taiparipari. There is a variation where Whena's two children, Whatino and Wharo, were known as great thieves, and likely stole from Uenuku many times. One day, Uenuku managed to catch them, and likely slew them. Whena then slaughters all of Uenuku's children in retaliation, save for Rongoueroa. Uenuku then takes his taua to Whena's pā on Rarotonga. Summoning the fog down onto Whena's forces, he won the battle now called Te Rakungia. After dispelling the fog with more incantations, he again attacked the enemy with dogs, and succeeded in this battle called Te Mau-a-te-Kararehe at the Rotorua. After fighting Te Moana-waipu, he returned home to New Zealand, where Ruatapu was born. In Ngāti Porou and Ngāi Tahu's traditions, Uenuku would later shame Ruatapu, either for walking atop the roof of his house, or for using either his or Kahutia-te-rangi's sacred comb, or by being denied a tapu grooming of his hair before the family set out on a new canoe that Uenuku had built - regardless of the reason, he may not use the comb due to being the son of Uenuku's slave wife. Some tellings say Ruatapu is the firstborn child, but is still junior to his younger brother on account of the difference in their heritage. After this, Ruatapu lures the nobles of Hawaiki into a canoe, and then kills all of them, save for Kahutia-te-rangi who manages to escape and migrate to New Zealand with the help of the gods.
