Keiji attempts to prevent Toshiie and Matsu from traveling to Echigo, but they proceed anyway. Upon meeting Uesugi, Toshiie learns that a significant portion of Uesugi's forces is moving toward Kaga, forcing him to choose between defeating Uesugi to claim Echigo or returning to protect his people. Toshiie decides to return to Kaga to ensure Matsu's safety. During their retreat, they are surrounded by Uesugi's army at Tetorigawa. Keiji arrives and confronts Toshiie, challenging his loyalty to Hideyoshi. After Keiji defeats Toshiie, Matsu draws her sword against him. Uesugi, observing the conflict, orders Matsu to stand down, recognizing that both men seek peace through different means. Meanwhile, in Oshu, Masamune survives an attack by Hideyoshi's army and now faces Hideyoshi directly. Additionally, Yukimura travels west toward Satsuma with his new ally Nobushige Oyamada, during which he hears a faint cry emanating from Azuchi Castle.
