Synopsis:

Set during a period of uneasy peace following centuries of conflict, this anime explores the complicated relationship between the Iga and Kouga ninja clans. The marriage of Gennosuke Kouga and Oboro Iga, heirs to their respective clans, was intended to solidify an enduring truce. However, the fragile harmony is shattered by the escalating ambitions of Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandsons, each vying for control of the shogunate.

Forced back into war, the clans are compelled to participate in a deadly tournament: ten warriors from each side will battle to determine which clan holds the favor of the ruling family for generations. Torn between their personal feelings and familial obligations, Gennosuke and Oboro find themselves at the center of a high-stakes conflict that threatens to redefine the future of both their clans and their own destinies. The series examines themes of loyalty, love, and the enduring consequences of historical grievances.
