The Tenshō Iga War (1579–1581) comprised the two invasions of Iga ikki by Oda Nobunaga during the Sengoku period.[1][2] Oda attacked Iga in 1579,[3] but his army fell into an ambush set by Iga shinobi.[2] He met with much greater success when he returned in 1581 with his new retainer Yasuke, razing down settlements across the province and all but destroying the Iga.[3] In a twist of fate, one of the surviving ninja, Fujibayashi Naoe, later joined forces with Yasuke to pursue common goals.[4]
