Synopsis:
Jubei is a masterless ninja who travels the land alone, hiring his services out to those with gold…or a worthy cause. His fearsome abilities have served him well, but a hideous plot to overthrow the government threatens to end his wandering ways and possible his life.

When a small village succumbs to a terrible plague, a team of ninjas are sent to investigate and realise all is not as it seams. Ambushed, they are wiped out by a fearsome man-monster with incredible powers, leaving only one alive- Kagero, a beautiful female ninja whose touch can bring instant death. Jubei saves her from a fate worse than death and unwittingly becomes drawn into a web of treachery. He is soon faced with his greatest challenge, an enemy for whom death holds no fear with the power to destroy Jubei`s world. It`s an all-out bloodbath when ninja warriors come face to face in this action-packed tribal war.

Ninja Scroll features a wicked cast of characters, extraordinary fight scenes and stunning animation from Yoshiaki Kawajiri and Madhouse Studios.
