It is not known whether he was on Hidetsugu's side or Hideyoshi's side at the time, however, it seems he was on Hideyoshi's side because he was not implicated in the Hidetsugu Incident (the incident where Hidetsugu was forced to commit suicide by Hideyoshi due to suspicion of rebellion).
この時どちらに従っていたのかは不明であるが、秀次事件に連座していないことから、秀吉付きに復していたようである。
