Plot
Fourteen years after the Battle of Sekigahara, the Toyotomi clan resolved to raise an army against the Tokugawa shogunate from their stronghold at Osaka Castle, calling upon daimyos across Japan to rally to their cause. While everyone else refused the Toyotomi's invitation, there were those who answered the call.
Among them was Sanada Nobushige, who had fought against the Tokugawa clan during the Battle of Sekigahara and was currently living in exile in Kudoyama, Kii Province. The ten ninjas serving Nobushige were none other than the legendary "Sanada Ten Braves." Together with them, Nobushige plotted his escape from Kudoyama to make his way to Osaka Castle.
