紅いハヤテ
Synopsis
Elite ninja assassin Hayate rebels against secret Shinogara rulers, becoming fugitive with unlikely ally.
Japan is secretly controlled by a tyrannical group of ninjas called the Shinogara. Their finest assassin is a man named Hayate Kanuma, whose father holds a position of power within the Shinogara. Hayate, however, knows that the secret society's control over Japan is wrong. When he chooses to stand against them, he becomes their most wanted target. Now on the run from his former comrades, Hayate must find a way to survive while evading the relentless pursuit of the Shinogara. In his desperate situation, he turns to an unexpected ally for help. As the conflict escalates, Hayate and his companion must navigate a dangerous world where betrayal lurks around every corner, and the price of resistance may be higher than they ever imagined. The question remains: how can one man hope to challenge an organization that has secretly ruled from the shadows for generations?
