In late 1582, Hideyoshi was in a very strong position. He summoned the powerful ''daimyō'' to [[Kiyosu Castle]] so that they could determine [[Oda Nobunaga|Nobunaga's]] heir. [[Oda Nobukatsu]] and [[Oda Nobutaka]] quarreled, causing Hideyoshi to instead choose Nobunaga's infant grandson [[Oda Hidenobu]].<ref name="Berry 1982, p. 74">[https://books.google.com/books?id=HQTbDphPKmoC&pg=PA74 Berry 1982, p. 74]</ref> Having won the support of the other two [[Oda clan]] elders, [[Niwa Nagahide]] and [[Ikeda Tsuneoki]], Hideyoshi was able to distribute Nobunaga's provinces among the generals and form a council of four generals to help Hidenobu govern.

[[Shibata Katsuie]] initially supported Hideyoshi's decision,<ref name="Berry 1982, p. 74"/> but later supported Nobunaga's third son Nobutaka, for whom Katsuie had performed the [[genpuku]] ritual. He allied with Nobutaka and [[Takigawa Kazumasu]] against Hideyoshi. Tension quickly escalated between Hideyoshi and Katsuie, and at the [[Battle of Shizugatake]] in the following year, Hideyoshi destroyed Katsuie's forces.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=HQTbDphPKmoC&pg=PA78 Berry 1982, p. 78]</ref> Hideyoshi had thus consolidated his own power, dealt with most of the Oda clan, and now controlled some 30 provinces.<ref name=Sansom2 />{{rp|313–314}}
