In
1582
Oda Nobunaga was on the verge of conquering all of Japan, but was
forced to
commit suicide at Honno-ji Temple by one of his generals, Akechi
Mitsuhide.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Nobunaga’s top general, overthrew Akechi
a few days later and
completed Nobunaga’s dream of unifying Japan under one ruler.
The world was at
peace for a time, but soon a ninja bandit named Ishikawa Goemon (Yosuke
Eguchi)
appeared, using his super-human abilities to steal from the rich and
give to
the poor—a habit which cemented his reputation as a hero to
commoners
everywhere. One night while
looting treasure from Nanban (Southern Barbarians), Goemon finds a
mysterious
box hidden inside a secret grave. A forgotten relic from the past
containing
untold powers, it isn’t long before Ishida Mitsunari,
Kirigakure Saizo,
Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Hattori Hanzo are all in persuit of the box for
their own
purposes.
