Mino Triumvirate era and the Saito clan
At first Toki Yorinari I was serving, but Saito Dosan When Yorinari is banished, he serves the Saito family and plays an active role as one of the Mino Triumvirate and an important figure of the Mino Kokujin. Among the three, Yoshimichi is said to be the leading figure, and he is said to have gained tremendous trust in the Saito family.
1556 Saito Dosan and Yoshitatsu's parent and child Battle of Nagara River Then, I am on the side of Yoshitatsu.
When Yoshitatsu, who won the battle with Dosan, began to rule Mino, he gradually became hostile to the Oda clan, which was an ally. Yoshitatsu's younger sister, Nohime, is married to Nobunaga's Seishitsu, but since she is a child of Seishitsu and Yoshitatsu is a child of a concubine, they may not have been close to each other.
However, Yoshitatsu unfortunately died prematurely, and his firstborn, Tatsuoki, succeeded the family reign and engaged with Nobunaga in earnest, and Yoshitatsu played an active part in the battle of Moribe. The Saito clan, who had been holding back the invasion of the Oda army by the efforts of the former vassals, did not listen to the suggestions from the vassals, and the unmanned behavior became conspicuous.

In particular, Battle of Kannonji Castle Then Wadayama Castle Siege and Battle of Anegawa Then, he served as the forerunner and greatly pleased Nobunaga, and he was so active that he received a letter from Nobunaga. Moreover, he gave it to Ieyasu Tokugawa, who also won the war prize, without being overwhelmed by that.
Battle of Noda Castle and Fukushima Castle Is commanding the army, Siege of Shiga Then, he is about to be 60 years old at this time, but he is said to be a mirror of a military commander as he is active throughout his life.
Despite his age, in the battle of Ichijodani Castle, the enemy general, Asakura Yoshikage Mino Shimizu Castle Get it.
After that, the war settled down and he handed over the family at the age of 65.

At that time, the Ando Morinari faction was moving in tune with Mitsuhide within his own territory, and when he confronted him to prevent it, he destroyed the Ando faction.
After that, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi came to power, he served Hideyoshi and defended the fort of Iwazakiyama in the battle between Komaki and Nagakute. No matter how much he is a master of war, he is already 70 years old at this time, so it seems that he did not appear on the front line.
This was the last battle of Yoshimichi Inaba, and after that, he lived a quiet life and died on tatami mats instead of the battlefield.
