Nobuyuki held the Sanada castle of [[Numata castle|Numata]], in the NW corner of [[Kozuke province|Kôzuke Province]], and his family was living there in 1600 when in the prelude to the [[Battle of Sekigahara]], Ieyasu summoned him, along with his father and younger brother Nobushige ([[Sanada Yukimura|Yukimura]]), to join in his attack on [[Uesugi Kagekatsu]].  They got as far as Inuyama in [[Shimotsuke province]] when they received an invitation from [[Ishida Mitsunari]] to join him against Ieyasu. Masayuki immediately withdrew from Ieyasu's army taking Nobushige with him, but Nobuyuki stayed with Ieyasu, it is said at his father's direction. Probably the fact that Komatsu was the daughter of Tadakatsu and also of Ieyasu played a part in Masayuki's decision to have Nobuyuki stay with Ieyasu.

Masayuki, having left Ieyasu, dropped by Numata on his way back to Ueda, announcing that he wanted to see his grandchildren.  However, Komatsu refused him admittance, saying that even if she was a woman, she had been given the responsibility of guarding the castle, and if he tried to force his way in she would kill the children and herself and set the castle on fire!
