Bound by the Iron Code of the Shinobi, Wolf must now assault Ashina Castle to bring back Kuro at any cost and thanks to the Dragon's Heritage, death is only a minor obstacle. Some time later, Wolf awakes in a dilapidated temple to learn he has been nursed to health and given a prosthetic arm hiding an array of weapons by a mysterious Sculptor of wooden Buddhas. Wolf, whose oath is to Kuro and not the clan at large, attempts to engineer an escape, but this goes awry when Genichiro intercepts them and severs Wolf's left arm in battle, leaving the shinobi unable to resist as Genichiro carries Kuro back into the fortress. The pair are captured by a radical faction within the clan led by Genichiro Ashina, who hopes the Dragon's Heritage can turn the tide in the otherwise unwinnable war against the Interior Ministry note heavily implied to be the Tokugawa Shogunate, which conquered and united Japan at the end of the Sengoku Period. He is tasked with a critical assignment in the face of the shogunate's attempts to centralize power: protecting Kuro, the Divine Heir to the Dragon's Heritage, which makes him and those of his choosing immortal. Twenty years later, the boy has grown and become the Wolf, a shinobi of the Ashina clan. Impressed by his composure, Owl then offered the boy to join him. Incidentally, a shinobi named Owl crossed paths with a young boy roaming the battlefield. As the whole country was plagued by war, Isshin Ashina staged a coup against the previous lord and managed to wrest control of the province after a key battle against General Tamura. note While there was an actual Ashina clan, the similarities end with the name.
The game is set in the last years of Japan's Sengoku Era, in the fictional province of Ashina.
