Disgraced and wandering the countryside after the events of Kasumi 6: Blade of Betrayal , the legendary Lady Ninja Kasumi (played by Rina Aizawa) seeks only a quiet death. Instead, she finds the village of Jigokudani—“Hell Valley.” Once a thriving covert outpost for the Iga clan, the village is now a plague-ridden ghost town shrouded in perpetual twilight.
