Narimasa Sassa is a Oda veteran retainer. Despite reportedly colluding in a plot to assassinate his lord, he stayed with the clan until Nobunaga's death. Compared to Toshiie and Katsuie, he was a fearsome warrior who often reserved his accomplishments. The exact circumstances of his death are disputed. The Nobunaga no Yabou 201X poll for 3-star officers puts him in seventh place.
