OVERVIEW

December 25th, 1926.

A new calendar era, the ‘Kobun Period’, has begun and Japan seems to be embarking on a new chapter in history. However, unbeknownst to the public, a nationalist revolutionary group has staged a coup d’etat against the Japanese government.

The revolutionaries acted swiftly, gaining control of the prime minister, police, major corporations, and newspapers. Struggling to react, the government leaders order the Iga Ninja to initiate the ‘Yatagarasu’ assassination program and eliminate the leader of the insurrection.
