the land alone,hiring his services to those with gold...or a worthy cause. His fearsome abilities have served him well,but a hideous plot to overthrow the government threatens to end his wandering ways and possibly his life. When a small village succumbs to a terrible plague, a team of ninjas are sent to investigate,and realize that all is not as it seems. Ambushed, they are wiped out by a fearsome and perverse man-monster with deadly powers, leaving only one alive, Kagero,a beautiful female ninja,whose touch can bring instant death. Jubei saves her from a fate worse than death,and unwittingly becomes drawn into the web of treachery. He is soon faced with his greatest challenge, an enemy for whom death holds no fear,with the power to destroy Jubei's world.
