In 1582 Oda Nobunaga was on the verge of conquering all of Japan, but was forced to commit suicide at Honno-ji Temple by one of his generals, Akechi Mitsuhide. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Nobunaga’s top general, overthrew Akechi a few days later and completed Nobunaga’s dream of unifying Japan under one ruler. The world was at peace for a time, but soon a ninja bandit named Ishikawa Goemon (Yosuke Eguchi) appeared, using his super-human abilities to steal from the rich and give to the poor—a habit which cemented his reputation as a hero to commoners everywhere. One night while looting treasure from Nanban (Southern Barbarians), Goemon finds a mysterious box hidden inside a secret grave. A forgotten relic from the past containing untold powers, it isn’t long before Ishida Mitsunari, Kirigakure Saizo, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Hattori Hanzo are all in persuit of the box for their own purposes.

As the leader of a small mob family, the young boss Uehara Ryouji has worked his way up while holding onto his own morals and relying on his fists to do the talking. An unexpected assassination on one of the top dogs of the Akaryukai, the biggest yakuza group, by a rival family shakes the entire country and an all out war seems inevitable. Ryouji ends up having to save Sugiuchi Kazuhiro, the assassin, and has to somehow smuggle the most wanted man in Japan out of the country. With all the ports closely watched, Ryouji and Kazuhiro resort to working on an illegal tuna fishing ship. But with everyone on the ship, from the captain to the crew, being dangerous and wanted criminals with nowhere else to go, it would be a miracle if the two survive until the next port.
