The story takes place in the year 1614. Two ninja clans, Tsubagakure of the Iga and Manjidani of Kouga, battle each other to determine which grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu will become the next shogun. The deadly competition between 10 elite ninja from each clan unleashes a centuries-old hatred that threatens to destroy all hope for peace between them.
A decade after the destruction of the Kouga and Iga ninja clans, only two survivors remain in a hidden village. But fate isn't done with the ninjas yet...
Hachirou wants to leave the ninja village and start a new life. He and Hibiki are destined never to be together, and he's terrified of their powers. But the war between the Kouga and Iga may not yet be over...
A dark force descends upon the Five Treasures as they are attacked by a mysterious ninja... or is he a ninja at all?
The slaughter of the Iga and Kouga continues as the Joujinshuu cut a swath through the Five Flowers. Who are they, and what do they want?
The Joujinshuu continue to cut a swath through the ninja, and Hachirou himself is forced to join the fray.
Many years have passed. The surviving ninjas are in hiding, and Hachirou has disappeared. The Joujinshuu have yet to return, but can these days of relative peace last forever?
As the black castle towers in the forest near the tea stand, Hachirou is called to meet Tadanaga, where he learns the truth about Tadanaga's thoughts during the incident four years ago.
The ninjas prepare to storm Murakumo as Hachirou escapes from Suruga's carefully-laid traps.
Hachirou is determined to slay Joujin and his Joujinshuu, but Joujin has deeper plans for the Lord of Suruga than he'd thought.
The local daimyo stages an attack on the Joujinshuu's Murakumo castle. As their massive army is annihilated by the Murakumo's cannons, Tenkai realizes only ninjas can destroy the castle...
As the ninjas prepare for an assault on the castle, Shikibu's armor breaks. Gorone attempts to repair it, but he's vulnerable when he's not wearing it. Then an enemy attacks, and separates him from the group...
The assault on the Murakumo castle has begun, and the first task is to draw away the troops surrounding it. Rui and Shichigen attempt an assault, but the enemy has prepared for their techniques...
The assault on Murakumo continues as Utsutsu's terrible past, and the origin of her techniques, is revealed.
Hadaebou infiltrates Murakumo castle, where he attempts to kill the Lord of Suruga. Joujin tries to get Hachirou and Hibiki to join forces with him.
The Murakumo castle has vanished without a trace, and it seems as if the Joujinshuu have disappeared. The ninjas return to their normal lives, but is everything really over?
Murakumo is back! Now the castle is on wheels and it's slowly heading towards Edo. The ninjas try to break in as Hachirou attempts to flee.
Tenkai's servant infiltrates Murakumo Castle with a mission: to bring Tadanaga back or to kill him if he refuses to leave.
Hadaebou's attempt to retrieve Tadanaga from Mukakumo Castle does not go as planned. Hachirou appears before the gathered ninjas of Kouga and Iga, faced with an enemy he cannot defeat alone.
Hachirou enters the castle at last, as Saizou falls victim to Yasha Itaru's Destiny's Passage.
Saizou is dead, but his sacrifice has allowed the ninjas to proceed into Murakumo at last. But even greater threats await them inside.
