Mhhm, thinking of two different eras I think. Toyetomi Hideyoshi rose from a peasant to serving as Lord Oda Nobunaga's sandal bearer. He showed initiative and rose through the ranks to become one of his leading generals. After Oda committed suicide (to prevent being captured by Mitsuhide Akechi) Hideyoshi force marched his army to defeat Mitsuhide. At this point it was him and Ieyasu Tokugawa together who could unite Japan. They fought a campaign right around Owari in the 1580s/1590s. Ieyasu decided to give in and let Hideyoshi win, since he figured he was old and that would leave Ieyasu in position to take control: Which he did after the battle of Sekigahara in 1600. The Tokugawa Shogunate would rule Japan until the 1868 Meiji Restoration.
