                                WAILING HELL

The slaughter of ninja throughout the land continues as Nobunaga Oda
pursues his quest for absolute power. Clan after clan falls to the
mysterious Oboro Seven and the overwhelming force of Nobunaga's riflemen.
Why then does Nobunaga fear the Iga Ninja? As the Iga Ninga prepare for a
final, desperate defense of their home, they are joined by three homeless
ninja. Each is the last of their clan, clans destroyed by Nobunaga's forces.
Each bears a mystical blade, blades fortold by prophecy. But is their
combined might enough to stop the return of the evil magician fortold by
the same prophecy? The journey through destiny to fate continues in YOTODEN
