Shards of Time: The Man Who Would Be Hideyoshi
Nobunaga had his men build the Azuchi castle in Omi Province. Before we could settle there, Nobunaga requested for her sister Oichi to marry the daimyo of Omi, Azai Nagamasa as a sign of an alliance. It was purely political but surprisingly Oichi was okay with it.
I was invited to the war council again. It seemed Nobunaga trusts my judgment and would frequently call me to attend to hear my opinion.
"Do we have word from our scouts about Yoshimoto?" Nobunaga asked.
"They have been silent for a while my lord." Masahide responded. They won't attack just yet; not until Ieyasu will come of age and take control of the Matsudaira clan. They will join forces for a while until Nobunaga is able to weaken the Imagawa clan then Ieyasu will know what to do.
"It'll take a few years before they will make their move." I blurted out. I immediately covered my mouth. All eyes were on me. Me and my big mouth.

I agreed to Nobunaga’s idea about marrying off children to the other clans to form an alliance without bloodshed. But instead of the children that I’ve been raising, he promised to adopt children of the right age to marry off into those clans. Morally, I don’t agree with this but I have no choice.
