Overview

The battle for succession that continued for three generations of shogun in the Keichou era culminated in a gruesome battle of ninja arts between the Kouga and Iga clans. Amidst a rain of flower petals, a man and woman who had decided to live for love were separated once again, beautiful in their transience. However, it is said that by the hand of Hattori Hanzo's adopted son, Kyouhachirou, these two flower petals, whether temporarily or permanently, were given life again and left two mementos behind. These children, born with a destiny of their own, were called Kouga Hachirou and Iga Hibiki. The former had eyes like his father's, and the latter had eyes like her mother's. It is now the Kan'ei era, and the land is at peace. As ninjas begin to disappear into the shadows after being deemed unnecessary, The Kouga and Iga clans ask a favor of Hachirou and Hibiki in hopes of reinforcing their foundations.

Synopsis 日本語

「伊賀」と「甲賀」、二つの忍群が血で血を洗い、双方に分かたれながら相思相愛の男と女が激烈なる想いに殉じた「忍法合戦」から十数年の歳月が流れ去った。寛永の時代、天下太平の世にあって、「忍び」の活躍できる場は年を経るごとに減り、伊賀甲賀も相争うほどの盛りはとうに失せていた。ある隠し里で適度な緊張関係を保ちながら共に暮らす二つの忍群であったが滅するには未だ早いと考え、合意の下に互いの幼い棟梁たちを許嫁とし、一つの「力」を生み出そうとしていた。甲賀の棟梁・甲賀八郎と伊賀の女棟梁・伊賀響。双方は先代より受け継がれた「瞳術」をその身に宿しており、二人が契ることで、桜花と呼ばれる未知の「力」が発動すると言われている。二人はそのために日々修行をし、その日を待つ。本来ならば目出たき仲であった。二人が血を分けた実の兄と妹でなければ。
