 The Eighth Dragon
Miyoshi, and a handful of others like her, found that so long as they honored and respected the dragons they could draw upon some measure of that power as they drew upon the minor kami spirits to weave other spells.
Miyoshi’s breath caught in her throat as images of the Elemental Dragons appeared unbidden through her mind.
Miyoshi saw him only indirectly, for a mortal could not peer into his savage flames and be unchanged.

Hatano clan had, from Hideharu's grandfather Hatano Tanemichi, a retainer of the powerful Miyoshi clan and Miyoshi Nagayoshi and Hideharu had been Miyoshi's retainer as well.
The reason that such a minor clan as his had attended the Emperor Ogimachi's coronation was believed to be because he had been under Nagayoshi.
The Hatano clan, however, was situated in the pass of Oda Nobunaga to Kyoto and after several battles, Hideharu surrendered to Akechi Mitsuhide.

 Oda Nobunaga Summary
In 1534, Nobunaga was born to regional daimyo Oda Nobuhide in Shobata Castle in Owari Province.
In a political manoeuvre, Hirate Masahide sent a proposal to the Oda clan's rival daimyo in Mino province, Saito Dosan, to have Nobunaga marry Dosan's daughter, Nōhime.
Historically, the Oda clan had been subordinate to the Asakura clan, and Asakura Yoshikage also temporarily protected Ashikaga Yoshiaki but was not willing enough to march toward Kyoto; thus, the Asakura clan despised Nobunaga the most for his success.
