Naomoto was a son of Ujiie Yukikuni. He was at first one of the three chief retainers of the Saitô house and held Ôgaki Castle. He lost faith in Saitô Tatsuoki and gave his support to the Oda around 1564. A veteran of the Battle of Anegawa (1570), he was later killed fighting the monto on 12 May 1571 at Nagashima while under the command of Shibata Katsuie. He had earlier entered the priesthood and adopted the name Bokuzen.
