Japanese martial arts romance. Oboro (Yukie Nakama), a granddaughter of Ogen (Riri), is the matriarch of the Iga clan.

They are also ancestral rivals and, under the order of Hanzo Hattori (Yutaka Matsushige), chief ninja to Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, are forbidden to exchange secret techniques. Seeking to consolidate Tokugawa rule and seeing the two clans as a threat to it, a powerful Tendai priest and Tokugawa adviser, Nankobo Tenkai (Renji Ishibashi) schemes to set them against each other and commands the two clans to each choose five champions who will battle to the death; the survivor will be elevated in rank and power.

He cannot, however, bring himself to battle at least one Iga warrior: Oboro...
