Hideyoshi's Rise to Power

When Mitsuhide Akechi was ending the life of Nobunaga Oda at Honnoji Temple, Hideyoshi, then known as Hashiba, was fighting a major battle against the Mori Clan in central Japan. When Hideyoshi recieved the report of the betrayal at Honnoji Temple, he returned at once to Yamazaki where he faced down the betrayer, Mitsuhide. That point in history marked the beginning of Hideyoshi's climb to the top.

The next to fall were Katsuie Shibata and his wife Oichi (Nobunaga's Sister). Hideyoshi continued to silence opponent after opponent until he alone stood at the top. His speed at claiming the land as his own is nothing short of a miracle.
