<p>Nobunaga&#8217;s words to Sengoku, who had lost everything, were very simple. However, it is a very positive word that blows away any hardship that awaits him in the future. Sengoku made up his mind to live through the turbulent times as a vassal of the Oda family.</p>

<p>Sengoku continues to grow despite repeated failures, and an opportunity arrives. Toyotomi Hideyoshi recommends Sengoku to the feudal lords of Awaji Province (present-day Awaji Island). Sengoku is perplexed by this unexpected proposal. He wonders if a man like himself, who was not born into a prominent family and who has made nothing but mistakes, should become a feudal lord. Hideyoshi&#8217;s words blew away his fears and gave him the push he needed. Position makes the man. Sengoku made a great leap forward as a feudal lord.</p>

After years of agonizing over his fate, Sengoku decides to live as a samurai by participating in Hideyoshi&#8217;s attack on Odawara Castle.
