Oda Nobunaga looked at Hashiba Hideyoshi's eyes. She didn't know whether Hashiba Hideyoshi could complete this mission or whether he could surprise herself like every time before.

But if Hideyoshi Hideyoshi could really complete his mission, Oda Nobunaga would not hesitate to reward him heavily and lift up this little catfish that he had personally put into the Oda retainers and let her jump into the sky.

———

Nobunaga's siege network gradually tightened, and enemies jumped out from all directions, making Oda Nobunaga gradually feel powerless.

She had to put her hope in Hashiba Hideyoshi, hoping that Hashiba Hideyoshi could create another miracle in Kitaomi during his battle in Settsu.

Oda Nobunaga did not know that her idea coincided with the future planned by Takenaka Shigeharu for Hashiba Hideyoshi.

Hashiba Hideyoshi was not from a good family background and could not make a difference among the two samurai families of Owari and Mino.

But the Omi samurai family, which was conquered by the Oda family, was an exception. If Hashiba Hideyoshi wanted to become bigger and stronger, he could only develop towards Omi country.

Oda Nobunaga's dilemma was Hashiba Hideyoshi's opportunity. Takenaka Shigeharu's plan that he had been working on for many years could finally be put to full use.

She wanted to use the connections run by the Takenaka family in Nishi-Mino Kitaomi to drive a wedge between Asai Nagamasa, Isono Umasa, and Aguki Samasagi, so that these two important ministers would defect to the Oda family.

As long as this thing is accomplished, Hideyoshi Hashiba will truly soar into the sky and become a trustworthy and usable general in Oda Nobunaga's heart.

The recent chaos has allowed Yu Chai to realize his ambition. However, Kanto has entered a period of peace that has not been seen in a century.

Although everyone knows that this tranquility is not stable and may be overturned at any time, it at least gives everyone a hope.

Yoshigan Shiba, who created this peace and tranquility, has returned from Oda Castle in Hitachi Province, accepted the invitation of the Narita family, and is visiting Ninja Castle.

Ninja Castle is located between the Tone River and the Arakawa River. It is defended by natural waterways and embankments. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the residence of the Narita family.

The Narita family was originally a retainer of the Yamauchi Uesugi family and lived in Iwatsuki Castle, an important town in the Musashi Kingdom. As a result, the two Uesugi fought and Iwatsuki Castle was taken away by the Ota ancestor who was the head of the Ogitani Uesugi family.

Later, both the Yamauchi-Uesugi family and the Ogitani-Uesugi family were swept into the dustbin of history by the Hojo family, and the Narita family also surrendered to the Hojo family.

However, Teruhora Uesugi once again raised the banner of the Uesugi family in the mountains and returned to Kanhachishu, defeating the elite of the Hojo family in Sano.

Tai, the governor of the Narita family of this generation, simply returned to the Yamauchi Uesugi family and participated in Uesugi Terutora's siege of Odawara Castle.

Originally, this was a good story about the relationship between the king and his ministers.

Unfortunately, when Terutora Uesugi succeeded him as the Kanto governor at Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine, Nagata Narita refused to kneel as usual, but he offended the unsuspecting Terutora Uesugi and received a slap in the face.

The Narita family is a descendant of a famous Fujiwara family. Their ancestors fought side by side with Hachiman Tai Ni, and they have always had the privilege of greeting them on horseback without having to kneel down.

This rude move by Teru Uesugi made Narita Nagata disgraced, and he simply took the lead in withdrawing his troops, causing most of the Kanto Allied Forces that besieged Odawara Castle to disperse overnight.

Had it not been for the miracle performed by Shiba Yoshigan at Hachimangu Shrine and the apparition of Hachiman Taimu to personally teach the Royal White Flag, the negotiations between Uesugi Teruhora and Hojo Ujiyasu would never have passed so easily.

Afterwards, Narita Chotai was afraid of causing trouble for his family, so he personally went to Yubaiqi to plead guilty, which was considered to have exposed the fault.

Uesugi Teruhora himself didn't understand the rules, so he couldn't hold Narita Chotasu accountable. Shiba Yoshigan was an honest man, so he didn't care about it.

Going around and around, the Narita family in Ninja City has become a neutral force between the Uesugi and Hojo families, teaming up with the Yura family and other local powerful forces, sitting on the fence between the two powerful forces.
