[Machine Translation] Princess Tsukihime is the only remaining hope for the Asai family, which is on the verge of falling. In order to escape from the evil Nobunaga, who is bent on taking her young life, an elite group of samurai and Iga-Koga ninja were chosen to rescue the princess. The group crosses a steep mountain valley on their way to the Uesugi family in Echigo, but the treacherous ninja Kuroyasha, under the orders of Hideyoshi, attacks them. In the midst of absolute danger, a chance encounter between Inumaru, a boy ninja who stung Kakumaru like a bee, and Benten, a beautiful, high-speed swordsmith, turned the group's life into a bright light.
