In
1582, the mighty warlord Nobunaga was betrayed by his
retainer, Mitsuhide. The cruel Hideyoshi subjugated
Mitsuhide’s warriors and took over as Ruler of
the kingdom of Japan.
Master
thief Goemon – the Japanese Robin Hood –
steals a wooden box once owned by Mitsuhide. Hideyoshi’s
men, including Lord Mitsunari and his legendary ninja
Saizo, are after the box and Goemon finds himself fighting
for his life. He discovers evidence inside the box of
the secret pact between Mitsuhide and Hideyoshi to assassinate
Nobunaga. This revelation would tear Japan apart. Moreover
Nobunaga was like a father to Goemon – the betrayal
could not be more personal.
Goemon enters Osaka Castle, intent on killing Hideyoshi,
and finds the beautiful Princess Chacha. Hideyoshi’s
guards attack, and it is only through the surprise intervention
of Saizo that Goemon is saved. |
