Azai Nagamasa hears word of what misdeeds Nobunaga, revealed to be his brother-in-law, is bringing across the country. Although he does not want to accept this fact, Nagamasa sets out to prevent Nobunaga from attacking his ally, the Asakura clan. Meanwhile, Kasuga visits Shingen, who plans to gather neighboring clans to support Keiji's cause to defeat the Oda clan. However, when Kasuga takes leave, Sasuke reports to Shingen his failure in persuading both the Azai and Tokugawa clans in forming an alliance with the Takeda clan. Meanwhile, Nobunaga says that he will not annihilate the Asakura clan, but instead Nagamasa must agree to annihilate them instead, lest his wife, Oichi, will suffer death. Akechi Mitsuhide warns Nagamasa that Masamune is planning to attack Nobunaga alone, so Nagamasa must prevent that from happening. The Takeda and Uesugi clans ally themselves and prepare for their attack on the Oda clan as well. (Source: Wikipedia)
