The Wandering Ninja

Feudal Japan, 1189

The young ninja Ukita Tokikawa departs on his first mission, to escort a diplomat to his village. But Ukita makes a fatal mistake, and is exiled from his village. Wandering the countryside, Ukita seeks out his Uncle Satou in the hopes that Satou will provide him with shelter. When a string if villages are burned, and dozens killed, Ukita teams up with mercenaries Mori Agurino, a wandering samurai with no master, and Takada Masakatsu, a skilled archer previously in the Feudal Lord's army. Driven by a sense of righteousness, they hunt down the bandits in an attempt to stop their killing spree. But as they get closer to the truth, the trio start to uncover the identity of the man behind the bandits.
