Set in mid‑16th‑century Japan, the ambitious warlord Hideyoshi plots the eradication of the Momochi clan. He orders his commander to locate the clan’s secret treasure, only to learn that two hidden daggers unlock the gold’s cache. The decades‑long search for the missing daggers drags Shiranui across battlefields and ancient customs.
