Biography
By September 1581, Fujita Juro had lost his son to Oda Nobunaga's archers. Later in the fall, he joined the league assembly of the Iga ikki at Aekuni Shrine, where he and the other members talked their plans for combating Oda Nobunaga's incoming forces. Upon Murakami Norimasa starting the assembly, they were all interrupted by the arrival of Hattori Hanzō, who gave them a chance of protection under his lord Tokugawa Ieyasu. While Furuta Tanji opposed his offer, Juro claimed that they should accept the offer and be saved. However, Fujibayashi Naoe stated that it is not Iga's fate to submit.[1]
Upon this rebuttal, Juro stated that Naoe was not a warrior, which led Momochi Sandayu to let a duel decide Naoe's place in their ikki. Outside, Juro dueled against Naoe but was soon bested. With the duel done, they all found their way back to the shrine and commenced with the ceremony, while Hanzō left. All, including Juro, drank the oath mix before heading to prepare for Oda's invasion.[1]
