Toyotomi Hideyoshi paid a visit to Uesugi Kagekatsu, accompanied by a few retainers. Kagekatsu called a council to discuss what was best to do under these circumstances. The majority of the councilors advised the assassination of Hideyoshi, viewing it as a simple way of ridding themselves of a dangerous enemy. However, Naoe Kanetsugu condemned the advice, citing that Hideyoshi coming unguarded was a sign of respect for Kagekatsu. What if Kagekatsu would have followed the advice of the majority of his advisors?
