Ise Sadatame’s friend, Ujimasa, can help infiltrate Yamazaki Castle. He is in hiding at Kiyomizudera Temple. Upon choosing the Inside Help mission from the Objective Board, the intel says that Ujimasa is:

Kiyomizudera Temple is located directly east of Yamashiro City, right past its eastern bridge, as shown in the map image.

Assassinate the Twisted Tree

You have to assassinate (or spare in a few cases) all seven members of The Twisted Tree before Ujimasa is willing to help. TheTwisted Tree membershave their own section in the Objective Board, and you have to locate each member using clues and scouts. Among the Twisted Tree targets, you can choose to spare Takahashi Ichi-Hime and her brother.

Return to Ujimasa

Once the Twisted Tree members are dealt with, return to Ujimasa at Kiyomizudera Temple. Now that you have won his trust, he will hand over the keys to Yamazaki Castle’s inner gate. He warns you that the gate will be heavily guarded and asks that you show no mercy to Sadoki and his lord.
