When Shiba Sotatsu's ability targets a Shugenja follower, does the follower prevent the unit from moving home, or does the effect only benefit a Shugenja Personality?

Relevant text:

Earth Battle: Target one or more opposed Shugenja in Sotatsu's army. Other players' actions can not move them home.

It will not prevent the unit from moving home.
