Nobunaga banished Shiba Yoshikane (1640-1600) just near or after the unification of Owari. Nobunaga let him to retire at Kiyosu Castle at the northern watchtower earlier. Why? Nobunaga knew from the past that his enemies were always trying to work out a deal with someone in the Oda family to betray him. The Shiba during the time of Nobunaga's rise to power was weak. Eventually, Shiba Yoshikane tried to work out a deal with other families to oust Nobunaga. It never work and Yoshikane was banished along with others making Nobunaga the ruler of Owari.
Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 105)
"At the very edge of Owari Province, right by the seaside, lay the residence of Lord Ishibashi. There Kira, Ishibashi,and Buei agreed among themselves to have Hattori Sakyo no Suke of the Delta bring in Suruga troops by the sea. But before they could carry out their treacherous plot, a retainer leaked it to Nobunaga, who immediately expelled these noble lords from the province."
