SYNOPSIS
Jubei Kibagami drifts through the Edo period as a masterless ninja, taking contracts for coin and survival. His latest job pulls him into a dangerous conflict between shadow clans fighting over the Dragon Stone, a legendary artifact said to unlock unimaginable power. The Hiruko Clan has guarded the stone in secrecy for generations, bound to darkness itself. The Kimon Clan, however, seeks to seize it and resurrect the ambitions of a fallen dynasty. Standing between these forces is the Light Maiden, the only person capable of wielding the stone's true strength, and Jubei finds himself bound to protect her. What unfolds is a journey through supernatural horror and intense action as Jubei uncovers the curse binding the clans together and the price of power that spans generations. The series mixes brutal combat with genuine dread, building toward revelations about the stone's origin and the cost of ambition. Expect blood, betrayal, and supernatural threats at every turn, wrapped in the gritty aesthetic of ninja fiction where survival means everything.
