Sasuke

The story takes place in Japan at the beginning of the 17th century Edo period, following the political chaos of the Sengoku period, a particularly powerful lord, Ieyasu Tokugawa, was about to take over the reins of the country. Other noble feudal lords fought against him, linked to the personality of Hideyori Toyotomi, including Yukimura Sanada and his ninja clan. The cream of this fearsome clan were the so-called sarutobi warriors, reputed to be invincible. But, despite the great mastery of these warriors, the struggle for power had taken a turn favorable to Tokugawa, with his consequent victory over the enemy and the killing of Sanada. Remaining the only protagonist of the scene, Tokugawa instructs his right-hand man Hanzo Hattori to hunt down all the Sanadas who survived the clash, especially the Sarutobi, who for him were a terrible threat. Hattori, commander of the Iga ninja clan, starts a real manhunt, destined to end only when the last remaining Sanada is dead. Among the survivors of Yukimura Sanada's clan was Daisuke Ozaru, the most fearsome of the sarutobi. Ozaru had a wife and a son, named Sasuke. Following a clash, Ozaru is injured and, with a thousand difficulties, manages to return to his house disguised as a traveller. But the hitmen who are chasing him catch up with him and manage to kill his wife. Little Sasuke is shocked by the death of his much-loved mother, especially because he does not know that the traveler who arrived that evening is his father, and he now thinks he is alone. Ozaru, for his part, cannot reveal his true identity and, despite suffering, is forced to temporarily leave the child. therefore, father and son go on a dangerous but educational journey and wander around Japan, as Sasuke will slowly learn from his father all the sarutobi techniques, and he encounters various opponents along the road.
