When it came to the death of his uncle, Oda Nobuaki, Oda Nobunaga's response was quite prompt.
A few days later, Harano received further news: the assassin Sakai Sunbajiro and more than ten accomplices who had helped him slip into Nagano Castle, blocked from escaping overland to Sanhe, attempted to flee by ship from Atsuta Port, but were tracked down in time by Oda Nobunaga's ninja squad, the "Feast Seekers."
A fierce battle broke out in the streets of Atsuta Port; Sakai Sunbajiro was killed on the spot by Shinshuomaru, which counted as half the revenge for Oda Nobuaki.
