Nagahide was one of [[Oda Nobunaga|Oda Nobunaga's]] chief retainers and married to his niece. He was present at many of Nobunaga's battles (including [[Battle of Anegawa|Anegawa]] in 1570, [[Battle of Nagashino|Nagashino]] in 1575, the [[Honganji Campaign]] from [[1570]]-[[1580]], [[Battle of Tedorigawa|Tedorigawa]] in 1577, and the [[Second Invasion of Iga]] in [[1581]]) and was named one of the administrators of Kyoto after Nobunaga entered that city in [[1568]]. He was given the task of building [[Azuchi castle]] and for his efforts was awarded a 100,000-koku fief at Obama in [[Wakasa province]]. After Nobunaga's death in June [[1582]] (the same year Niwa had been given the honor of riding at the head of Nobunaga's army in a parade in Kyoto), Nagahide may have burned Azuchi castle to prevent it falling into [[Akechi Mitsuhide|Akechi Mitsuhide's]] hands. He hesitated in attacking Mitsuhide himself, but did join [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Hideyoshi's]] army in Osaka and took part in the [[Battle of Yamazaki]]. Nagahide was essentially neutral during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's war with [[Shibata Katsuie]], but did support the former the next year, marching against [[Sassa Narimasa]] during the [[Komaki Campaign]]. After [[1575]], Niwa was often referred to as Korezumi Gorozaemon.
