Years later, Gennosuke Kouga, heir to the Kouga clan, and Oboro Iga, heir to the IGA clan, fell in love. Through marriage, both heirs intend to bring peace to clans. But their hopes are frustrated when the flames of rivalry between their clans are rekindled and dragged to another war.

Ieyasu's two grandchildren claimed to be the next heir to Shogunate. To resolve this dispute, Kouga and IGA are ordered to send their 10 best warriors to fight in a bloody Battle Royale, with each clan representing one of the potential heirs of shogunate. Two scrolls with the names of the fighters are given and should be marked in blood in the death of the given fighter. The prize to win is the favor of Tokugawa's shogunate for a thousand years. Divided between love for each other and duty with their clans, Gennosuke and Oborus should finally decide the fate of their clans.
