In 1574, Toyokuni allied with Amago Katsuhisa for an attempted invasion to capture Tajima and Inaba provinces.
In 1581, his Tottori Castle was besieged by the Oda Nobunaga's army led Hashiba Hideyoshi. After three months of the Siege, Toyokuni surrendered. Thereafter, he became a masterless samurai for a while.
In 1600, at the Battle of Sekigahara, he joined the Western army and after the battle he was given small territory in the Tajima Province by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
