天文十五年（1546）、那古野に城を築き、信長は十三歳にてそこに居住した。その後、美濃の大守・斎藤山城守義龍の息女を、祖父・道三の娘として信長に嫁がせた。同十八年（1549）、父・備後守信秀が卒去した。
弘治二年（1556）四月中旬、信長の舅・斎藤山城守義龍が、その子息・右衛門大夫龍興と合戦となった際、義龍より信長に加勢を乞われた。信長は驚き、美濃国の大良口まで出陣したが、山城守が今朝、龍興のために命を落としたとのことで引き返した。この時、龍興の方より牧村主水助・林半大夫・加々井弥八・岩田勘解由などを遣わして後を追ったため、尾張勢は後れを取り、ようやく清洲へ引き入った。
その後、信長は今川家を滅ぼし、尾張を平定した後、龍興を攻め滅ぼして遺恨を晴らし、舅・山城守義龍の素懐（本来の望み）を達しようと用意した。信長は美濃へ様々な手を遣わし、美濃衆は龍興に背いて信長

に属した。井之口（岐阜）は因幡山に名城があったが、兵糧が乏しく、水が少なく、諸方より攻められ、永禄八年（1565）八月朔日より攻め寄せ、十五日に龍興は城を出て降伏を乞い、長良川を越えて退散した。拝星峠を越えて大野郡に蟄居し、朝倉氏を頼った。
明智十兵衛光秀は越前にあって朝倉義景に仕えていたが、永禄八年の冬の頃より、義景の側近から疎んじられるようになった。その子細は、鞍谷刑部大輔嗣知が申し立てたことによるものである。以前にも、金吾教景入道が「明智のように才芸に優れ弁舌の立つ者は、譜代の重臣を侮り、主君をないがしろにする野心ある者だ」と申したと、嗣知が告げたため、義景から遠ざけられた。折しも、明智の家敵である斎藤龍興を（義景が）扶持されることも、明智には無益に思われた。そこへ信長より招かれ、舅・山城守（道三）の縁であるとして懇切に誘われたので、永禄九年（1566）十月九日、越前より美濃国岐阜へ参った。
信長の御内所（奥方）の局は光秀の従弟（いとこ）であった。それかこれかで信長は懇ろに（続く）

In Tenbun 15 (1546), a castle was built at Nagoya, and Nobunaga took up residence there at the age of thirteen. Later, the daughter of Saitō Yamashiro-no-kami Yoshitatsu, lord of Mino Province, was presented as the daughter of his grandfather Dōsan and given in marriage to Nobunaga. In the eighteenth year of the same era (1549), his father, Bingo-no-kami Nobuhide, passed away.
In the middle of the fourth month of Kōji 2 (1556), when Nobunaga's father-in-law, Saitō Yamashiro-no-kami Yoshitatsu, came to battle against his own son, Uemon-no-tayū Tatsuoki, Yoshitatsu asked Nobunaga for reinforcements. Nobunaga, taken aback, advanced as far as Daira-guchi in Mino Province, but turned back upon learning that Yamashiro-no-kami had that very morning lost his life at the hands of Tatsuoki. At this point, forces sent from Tatsuoki's side — including Makimura Mondono-suke, Hayashi Han'dayū, Kagai Yahachi, and Iwata Kageyu — gave chase, and Nobunaga's Owari forces were hard pressed and only just managed to withdraw into Kiyosu.
Thereafter, Nobunaga destroyed the Imagawa clan, and after pacifying Owari, he attacked and destroyed Tatsuoki, avenging his grudge and endeavoring to fulfill the original wish of his father-in-law Yamashiro-no-kami Yoshitatsu. Nobunaga employed various stratagems against Mino, and the Mino warriors turned their backs on Tatsuoki and came over to Nobunaga's side.

Inokuchi (Gifu) had a formidable castle on Mount Inaba, but it was short of provisions and water, and was attacked from all directions. From the first day of the eighth month of Eiroku 8 (1565), the siege was pressed, and on the fifteenth day, Tatsuoki emerged from the castle and sought terms of surrender. He crossed the Nagara River and dispersed. Crossing the Haiboshi Pass, he secluded himself in Ōno District and threw himself upon the mercy of the Asakura clan.
Akechi Jūbei Mitsuhide, who had been residing in Echizen and serving Asakura Yoshikage, began to be distanced from Yoshikage's inner circle around the winter of Eiroku 8. The reason for this was a denunciation made by Kuratani Gyōbu-no-tayū Tsugutomo. Previously, the lay monk Kin'go Norikage had also said that "a man of such refined talents and eloquence as Mitsuhide is the sort who would deceive senior hereditary retainers and belittle his lord — a man with ambitious designs." When Tsugutomo passed along this accusation, Yoshikage kept Mitsuhide at a distance. Moreover, the fact that Yoshikage was now providing support to Saitō Tatsuoki, the enemy of the Akechi clan, was something Mitsuhide found pointless. At this juncture, he received an invitation from Nobunaga, extended with great warmth on the grounds that Nobunaga's connection to Mitsuhide was through his father-in-law Yamashiro-no-kami (Dōsan). And so, on the ninth day of the tenth month of Eiroku 9 (1566), Mitsuhide traveled from Echizen to Gifu in Mino Province.
One of the ladies serving in Nobunaga's inner household (*go-naishō*) was a cousin of Mitsuhide. For these reasons and more, Nobunaga treated him with great warmth — (continued)
