Synopsis

When a small group of Iga ninjas find their comrade Yoshimori lying dead in a cave next to a bound a gagged girl, they immediately suspect her of somehow being involved in his murder. The girl, Sawa, is revealed to be a low-ranking Koga ninja from the distant Kashiwagi village and claims she was forced by Yoshimori to work for him as a traitor against her own clan. Sawa is believed to be in possession of a secret document containing information that could lead to the Iga’s successful resistance in the conflict with the Koga. But all is not as it appears.

As the Iga ninjas start to unravel the mystery surrounding Yoshimori’s death and continue their search for the missing vital document, Sawa proves that even tightly bound and at the mercy of her captors, she is still capable of being a deadly assassin. Meanwhile, during the interrogation of the girl, the ninjas begin to reveal their own true colours as bluffs, double bluffs, lies and betrayals come to the fore and threaten to compromise the mission.

Artwork is below, and you can preorder the DVD now from Amazon.co.uk.
