Medieval Japan. An evil daimyo lord has stolen treasures of the Imperial family and hidden them in his castle in an attempt to seize power. As a young shinobi apprentice you've decided to sneak into the castle, recover the treasures and return them to their rightful owners in an attempt to bring prominence to your clan.
