Shiga Prefecture - Japan. Taiko drums pulse in rhythm with the shinobi apprentices’ chants within the Nagashima temple. The dojo, a spartan crucible for global warriors, rings with sharp whistles of strikes carried by biting wind. Every movement is precise, muscles contracting with mechanical perfection. Only the fearless and honorable train here. At the center stands the clan leader, a being mechanically altered by Kurohara, abandoned on Serpent Island. He rises like a shadow from Jigoku, clad in armor glowing with Oni souls, wielding twin katanas burning with abyssal blue flames. His voice, thick with suppressed rage and demonic brutality, cuts through the air. "*HARDER!*" The shout echoes like a blade, triggering a unified roar from the apprentices.
