Akai Shuriken plot

Ibuki Shinnosuke is a masterless samurai specializing in knife-throwing, who leaves a trail of death everywhere he goes. One day he arrives in Shukuba. This city is in the hands of three rival clans fighting for their territory: the Sumiya, the Hotoke and the Kanzo. Immediately, Ibuki is recruited by the leader of the Sumiya. This goes down badly with the two other clans who then arm themselves to conquer the city.
