A ninja named Roga from the Hiruko Clan steals the Dragon Stone; ninja hero Jubei takes the jewel and, after Roga asks him, accepts the task of delivering it to Shigure - the Priestess of Light.

Jubei must find a way to give the Dragon Stone to Shigure while being hunted down by both the Hiruko Clan and the Kimon Shu.

Two members of the Kimon Shu fight Jubei and Dakuan for the Dragon Stone and the Priestess of Light.

Jubei is ambushed by strange roots sent by a Hiruko Ninja, and during the struggle for the stone it is split in two, and the roots take one half.

After stealing the Dragon Stone from Shigure, Tsubute meets Tatsunosuke, a failed yet talented thief who also wants to steal the Dragon Stone.

As the rain pours down, Jubei is attacked and poisoned; seeking shelter from the rain, he meets up with a boy and his mother who cure him of the poison.
