Azai tells him about the power of his tattoo and the legend surrounding it, explaining that the ink comes from a special desert flower and grants greatly sharpened senses and reflexes when absorbed slowly into the body, but will ultimately cause one so tattooed with it to descend into madness. However, Azai simply claimed that the clan has been hidden from the modern world for centuries until now, when “their enemies finally found them”. Before being rescued by the protagonist, Azai was being blamed by the attackers, who said “you picked the wrong people to steal from”. Gathering his equipment, the protagonist is able to defeat the attackers and rescue his sensei, Azai, as well as several other members of the clan. The unnamed ninja protagonist, resting after receiving an extensive irezumi tattoo, is awakened by a female ninja named Ora.
