He subsequently joined the army of Hideyoshi HASHIBA (later Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI) during the attack on Harima Province and the army of Mitsuhide AKECHI during the attack on Tanba Province, making a successful career as a war leader despite his small stipend of 300 koku.
その後も羽柴秀吉（のちの豊臣秀吉）の播磨国攻めや明智光秀の丹波国攻めに従軍するなど、禄高は3百貫と少ないながらも、武将として活動している。
