Abstract
The phrase "Saruhodoni" is frequently used in the war chronicles. The phrase has two functions; one is used to indicate the passing of the time from one event to another, and the other is used to start a new topic or a new story. In the Yonrui-bon text of Heiji Monogatari, "Saruhodoni" is effectively used in the second function. I discuss the new method of narrative created as compared to the text found in "Ichirui-bon" (the First Category) text.
