Toward the end of the EDO period, Japan was attacked by a group of mystical
villains. The beautiful Princess Kiri was kidnapped. Many Samurai warriors
were sent to rescue her. None ever returned. You are a daring young Ninja

need all your courage and Ninja skills in your attempt to rescue the fair
Princess from her evil captors!
