Summary:
Whilst wandering war-torn Japan during the Sengoku period, a nameless ronin stumbles upon a young boy named Kotaro, his dog Tobimaru, and the many Chinese assassins dispatched to claim the boy for a strange immortality ritual. Seeing something of his own past within the child, the nameless swordsman chooses to act as his bodyguard, but can he truly keep Kotaro from the clutches of the Ming and their bloodthirsty blonde mercenary, Luo-Lang?
