Ninja Vixens: Crimson Blades

In the distant past there were people

who fluttered in the darkness.

They were ninjas.

They were managed strictly

by their class system.

Masters, Deputy, Disciples

These classes were absolute

and inherited.

Because of that...

many tragedies were repeated.

This story is about...

the days when I accepted

destiny to be unchangeable.

I was like a leaf adrift, tossed around

like a tiny boat in raging waves.

The spring wind was

still chilly at that time but...

the feeble sunlight was

bright enough to blind me.

Ninja Vixens

Crimson Blades

You took care of it for us.

Thank you so much as always.

If it weren't for you, Shinobu,

we would've already been...

Please, Village Chief.

This is the least I can do for you

for saving me from dying on the street.

With him gone,

the group of local magistrates who

torment farmers is almost extinct.

Though not fully, I have been able

to avenge my daughter's death.

Those magistrates...

they behaved dishonestly,

amassed assets and abducted women.

A demon in hell would seem

nicer than them.

It's all right. Don't worry.

That magistrate is no longer here.

It's all right.

How long have you been

secretly living here?

It's been two years.

I was injured too badly to move

in the first year.

Time sure flies fast.

Back then, this post town was

abandoned because of an epidemic.

You wandered into this village

around that time.

Yes, sir.

I was badly injured and you nursed me

back to health without asking anything.

I will never forget that

I owe my life to you.

Don't mention it.

I did it because it felt like

you were my daughter.

You are...

Go tell the Chief!

Damn you!

Get her!

Namuami...

...dabutsu!

That's Shinobu of the Ephemeral

for you.

You're just as sharp as before.

Shinobu...

Hanji!

I've been looking for you.

Don't move.

I don't trust you completely yet.

Don't move.

Your injury is more serious

than it looks.

You won't be able to use

your right arm until the next full moon.

The men from the village are

getting pathetic.

What did you do with the dead body?

I dumped it in the pond.

The carps in the pond will finish it

in half a month.

I almost forgot! Ouch!

They found out where you are!

Master has sent out assassins.

I came to warn you.

The head of the assassins is

Dragon of the Gathering Clouds.

What them?

He believes that you killed

his father.

No. I didn't do it!

I was framed.

But you ran away.

Yes, but...

You know what happens to

a defector from a ninja clan.

I can smell blood.

Colored rice!

Looks like he fought Shinobu.

She hasn't lost her touch.

- Only half an hour ago.

- Let's go!

Why did you come here?

Why?

You know how I feel about you.

If you defect from the village,

they'll be after you too.

Tell me.

I'm the one who killed Dragon's father.

Master ordered me to kill him!

What in the world...?

You know about the problem

with who will become the successor?

Why should I care about the family feud

of the Master I've never met?

Dragon's father sided with

the second son, Master Toji.

The first son, Master Togen, gave me

an order to...

kill Dragon's father.

That's when you showed up.

You bastard!

- Shall we go in?

- Not yet.

We have little time left!

I'm not going to just kill her in haste.
