Before his assumption of the role of ''damiyo'' of the Hojo, Ujinao accompained Ujimasa during his campaign against the Takeda. The fighting between the two families was intermittent and yielded no result, until of course, Oda Nobunaga and [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] launched their invasion of the Takeda domain in 1582. This conquest ended with the death of [[Takeda Katsuyori]] who committed seppuku during the battle of [[Temmokuzan]].

Thus, the  Hojo had the much more powerful Oda Clan at their borders, and the clans relationship was quickly turning hostile as an Oda general [[Takigawa Kazumasu]] made advances into Kozuke. Fortunate for the Hojo, [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] rebelled against Oda Nobunaga on June 21, 1582, trapping and killing his former commander at the Honnouji temple. Ujimasa and Ujinao seized this oppurtunity and defeated Kazumasu at the [[Battle of Kanagawa]]. Ujinao followed this up by capturing Oda territories in the Kanto region.
