There is a rumor in bars and taverns frequented by people who know about weapons. This rumor involves a dead man, or maybe a man that should be dead…This story you will only hear in ill reputed joints in places like Noviy Bangkok, Shuangdong or Dalniy, in that kind of dive you can only enter if you have a pair of scars or a few notches in the butt of your weapon. The rumor, and it is only a rumor, has a lot to do with the fall of the Onishi clan and with the man who aggravated its shame, Onishi Togan.
The Onishi was the highest-reputed ninja clan in the Aomori prefecture and Onishi Togan was its best ninja, the one who took the most risky missions. His sheer success was due to his meticulousness when planning operations and the celerity and stealth with which he executed them. Togan was destined to lead the Onishi clan but, one night, engaged in an important mission, something failed and everything went to hell. The operation was a disaster and everybody died: the girl they should have rescued, Togan’s support team and all the kidnappers, who could not be interrogated. The clan’s prestige was questioned. The duty of Onishi Togan was to go before the family of the hostage and perform sumimasen, eternal contrition, offering his life in exchange as an apology for the mistake made.
Togan never appeared, dishonoring his name and his clan’s name. He turned into a hunted man. His clan and the family of the young hostage fixed a price for his head and soon an Onishi ninja commando would finish his life in a blitzkrieg operation. A few months later, Onishi Yoshitsune, Togan’s successor, was found dead in his house. Some people claim that beside Yoshitsune’s body there was a recording confirming his liaison with the kidnappers of the poor girl. Nevertheless, the Onishi clan silenced the issue and nothing eventuated. Since then, there is a new figure on the mercenary circuit, a stealthy assassin called Saito Togan, an expert martial artist with a technique and style that is reminiscent of a certain member of the clan Onishi.
