Enter the Ninja

In the mountainous forests of Japan, a ninja clad in white is chased by a squad of maroon-clad ninjas and a menacing ninja dressed in black. This intense pursuit showcases the white ninja's agility and combat skills as he swiftly navigates through the dense terrain, evading his relentless attackers.

Upon entering a secluded compound, the white ninja confronts Master Komori. In a shocking turn of events, he beheads the master before kneeling at a podium, revealing his true identity as a Caucasian when he removes his mask.

Master Komori, holding a clay model of his own head, challenges Cole to recite the sacred nine levels of power. After confirming his mastery, he presents Cole with a scroll detailing the legacies of ninjutsu fighters who came before him, marking a significant step in Cole's journey.

The following day, Cole expresses his gratitude to Master Komori and sets off for Manila, Philippines. This decision marks a new chapter in his life and a shift in the narrative as he engages with challenges ahead.

Upon arriving in Manila, Cole has a tense encounter with an Englishwoman, who threatens him with a rifle. After quickly subduing her, he learns she is Mary Ann, the wife of his war veteran friend, Frank Landers, leading to a shared dinner filled with apologies and revelations.

During dinner, Cole learns about the pressure Frank is facing in trying to keep their land amidst mounting threats. This conversation sets the stage for the escalating conflicts that will unfold over the next few days.

The next morning, Cole goes to town with Mary Ann, where they witness a local thug known as the Hook intimidating a shop owner. They return to find that Mary Ann's workers are being attacked, prompting Cole to utilize his martial arts skills to fend off the attackers.

Cole's intervention results in the resignation of Mary Ann's workers due to fear. She reveals that Frank has turned to alcohol due to the threats, showcasing the emotional toll the escalating violence is having on their lives.

Cole and Frank meet Mary Ann at a bar, where the Hook starts a violent altercation with Cole. After a fierce fight, Cole decisively defeats the Hook's henchmen, sending a strong signal about his capabilities and creating a more dangerous enemy.

Venarius, an oil tycoon, emerges as a formidable antagonist with interests in acquiring the Landers' land. He enlists the help of ten dockworkers to intimidate Cole, revealing his ruthlessness and determination.

Back at the plantation, a cockfight is held by Frank as he tries to keep his spirits up. However, it devolves into chaos when the Hook arrives and brutalizes a worker, leading Cole to fiercely retaliate by disarming the Hook.

After receiving a note for a secret meeting, Frank hides his worries as Cole uncovers its location. They confront Mr. Parker, who offers a tempting sum for their land; however, they refuse, instigating further conflict.

A dinner at the Landers' house turns tragic when Hasegawa ties Mary Ann to a tree, leading to Frank's death. Devastated, Cole discovers Frank's lifeless body amid the fire that consumes the workers' quarters, propelling him towards vengeance.

In grief, Cole dons his white ninja attire and sneakily infiltrates Venarius' stronghold. After a series of intense confrontations, he ultimately avenges Frank by killing Venarius and defeating Hasegawa in a climactic battle.

With vengeance fulfilled, Cole prepares to leave Manila, promising to return. Mary Ann chooses to stay behind to honor Frank's memory, and Cole departs, reflecting on the ninja philosophy of self-defense as he says goodbye to his friend Dollars.
