When Kakashi Hanbei (Tetsuya Watari) set foot in this land, the castle town was in turmoil. Under the pretense of mishandling a peasant uprising, the domain had been sentenced by the shogunate to abolition of its house name and confiscation of its territory. The feudal lord, Tanba-no-kami (Kenichi Kaneda), had fled to Nakatsu in Kyushu. Amidst the chaos, Hanbei is hired as a bodyguard by the chief retainer, Goto Hyoue (Akira Hamada). Soon after, Hanbei is confronted by a domain samurai, Jounoshin Kosugi (Masaki Kanda), who was sent to kill Hyoue. With no other choice, Hanbei kills Jounoshin. In his final moments, Jounoshin entrusts Hanbei with the care of his wife Yaé (Kumiko Akiyoshi) and their son Jotarō (Toshiyuki Amagasa), before passing away. Meanwhile, Araï Buzzaemon (Yosuke Kondō), the official inspector sent by the shogunate to oversee the domain’s handover, is furious to find the domain’s treasury completely empty. In truth, the downfall of the Miyagawa domain was a malicious plot orchestrated by Senior Councilor Tadakuni Mizuno (Tetsurō Tamba). #NinjaMovie #SamuraiAction #JapaneseCinema #FullMovie #Freemovie
