	===Service under Oda Nobunaga===		===Service under Oda Nobunaga===
			In 1569, Ieyasu was invited to a meeting at an encampment in [[Kyoto]], to which he brought his vassal Hanzō to accompany him. There, they met with both Nobunaga and the ''[[Ashikaga shogunate\|Shōgun]]'' [[Ashikaga Yoshiaki]]. During the meeting, Yoshiaki directly knew about Hanzō and asked him about the location of the [[Imperial Regalia of Japan\|Imperial Regalia]] after being informed of its security under the [[Iga]]ns. Hanzō, after a moment, reluctantly divulged information, pleasing Yoshiaki.<ref name="CH30"> ''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Shadows – Tales of Iga Chapter 30\|Chapter 30]]</ref>

			The ''[[shōgun]]'' soon introduced and informed his ally, the [[Templars\|Templar]] [[Nuno Caro]], who thanked Hanzō as well. Ieyasu soon noticed his vassal about to attack but fortunately regressed his actions. After the meeting, Hanzō left to inform his Tsuyu about an impending [[Attack on Daisen-ryō Kofun\|attack]]. After the attack, Hanzō returned to Ieyasu's side, only to be told of Tsuyu's death. When Ieyasu checked on him, Hanzō remained silent on the matter, which Ieyasu understood but then told him that work needed to be done, nevertheless.<ref name="CH30"/>

	In the autumn of 1581, Ieyasu was at the shooting range of [[Azuchi Castle]] to test the ''[[Arquebus\|teppō]]'' firearms that they had acquired and modified from the [[Portuguese Empire\|Portuguese]]. He was joined by Oda Nobunaga and the newly-appointed [[samurai]] [[Yasuke]], who participated in the testing of the guns as well. Just as Yasuke was half-way through the test, several ''[[Ninja\|shinobi]]'' attacked the group with the intention of [[Assassination\|assassinating]] Nobunaga.<ref name="Lords of Azuchi" />		In the autumn of 1581, Ieyasu was at the shooting range of [[Azuchi Castle]] to test the ''[[Arquebus\|teppō]]'' firearms that they had acquired and modified from the [[Portuguese Empire\|Portuguese]].

	Though the assassins were eliminated, the incident prompted Nobunaga to arrange for an emergency meeting, with Ieyasu being asked to gather the generals. At the meeting, Ieyasu defended his fellow general [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi\|Hashiba Hideyoshi]] when [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] questioned his absence, but the clash was swiftly defused upon the arrival of Nobunaga and Yasuke. As the meeting began, the generals were soon joined by Hideyoshi, who brought the head of [[Harima]]'s slain ''daimyō'' [[Bessho Nagaharu]], much to Nobunaga's delight.<ref name="Lords of Azuchi" />		Though the assassins were eliminated, the incident prompted Nobunaga to arrange for an emergency meeting, with Ieyasu being asked to gather the generals.

	With all generals present and the meeting underway, Ieyasu brought up the issue of the [[Iga ikki\|Iga ''ikki'']], who had defeated and pushed back [[Oda Nobukatsu]]'s army two years earlier in 1579. Ieyasu also suggested that the assassins earlier were likely of ~~[[Iga]]n~~ origin and they were being led by [[Momochi Sandayu\|someone]] who wielded a [[Hidden Blade\|blade]] on his wrist. Ultimately, Nobunaga concluded that they would [[Tenshō Iga War\|invade]] Iga and set out the next day.<ref name="Lords of Azuchi" />		With all generals present and the meeting underway, Ieyasu brought up the issue of the [[Iga ikki\|Iga ''ikki'']], who had defeated and pushed back [[Oda Nobukatsu]]'s army two years earlier in 1579.
