The conflict between Azai Hisayoshi•Hisamasa and Oda Nobunaga started, Sadayuki participated in the [battle of Anegawa ] leading one thousand soldiers in Genki 1 year (1570).
Nobunaga continued to attack Mr. Azai after this battle, Sadayuki defeated Oda family by using the strategy of [Kinoshita Tokichiro (Hashiba Hideyoshi)], the vassal of Nobunaga. When Mr. Azai was destroyed, he belonged to the subordinate of Hashiba Hideyoshi, who went to North Omi and fought various regions.

Tensho 10 year (1582), when Akechi Mitsuhide surrendered the master’s Nobunaga at [Honnoji Temple], the father and son of Atsuji quickly belonged to Mitsuhide.
