endorsement

After the conclusion of the alliance，Katsura had requested to Sakamoto the endorsement to the certificate of alliance of Choshu side.

"The terms of this alliance is never lie.”
I do not know how much it is worth，Sakamoto did written endorsement to the alliance between the national as an individual.

Katsura went back to Choshu
Sakamoto also went back to Teradaya of inn of his hiding place in Kyoto.

He was attacked by Tokugawa at there.
Needless to say，this attack was police activity from the point of view of Tokugawa.

There was a rumor of the approach of Choshu and Satsuma already.
But they were not able to interfere with the Satsuma.
They therefore tried to arrest Sakamoto for grasp the whole picture.

Sakamoto injured but he barely escaped.
Satsuma was protect him to Satsuma mansion.

・・・・・・・・・

By the way，Sakamoto had a pistol of Takasugi’s gift.
And he fired against officials of Tokugawa at this time.
　
After a while，he was assassinated.
It is said that the criminal was organization of Tokugawa.


"Tokugawa should also participate to the new government."
But finally Sakamoto became think like that.
It might be able to say deny of the revolution.
So motive to assassinate him was also to an ally.
Therefore there is a theory Sakamoto was assassination by Satsuma.

However，after the incident of Teradaya，Sakamoto was penal code offenses from the point of view of Tokugawa.
(Sakamoto had shot and killed one person.)

There was reason Tokugawa try to kill him.
