Since the country was at peace, the way of the samurai was "dying" and dojos were losing pupils and money. I suspect Enshirou was probably given an ultimatum by Kariya: either kill Jin and have the school train assassins for the government, or lose the deal and the school, be disgraced, and Kariya would probably kill Enshirou too by order of the shogunate (judging by the way Kariya pointedly clips the flower to shut Enshirou up in the flashback). I doubt Enshirou made the decision to kill his best student and heir lightly, but maybe if he was that desperate to keep his school and craft alive, even manipulated as it would be by a restructured purpose...
