Synopsis: The Battle of Sekigahara takes place between the Western Army, led by Mitsunari Ishida (Junichi Okada), and the Eastern Army, led Ieyasu Tokugawa (Koji Yakusho). Ieyasu Tokugawa attempts to keep a hold of the nation within his greedy grasp. Even though the Western Army are believed to outnumber the Eastern Army, they take losses on the battlefield. But a hidden truth exists; Hatsume (Kasumi Arimura) was sent to spy on Mitsunari Ishida, although she has now fallen in love with him.
