Story introduction
The story follows Sagara Tao, a member of the famous Tao clan that had been almost entirely deceased when defending their city, which is now occupied by the mighty armies of Emperor Shourisha of Shourigakure. The opening scene begins with a government politician named Kyu, together with his brother and two bodyguards, walking through the city and holding a converseation about his upcoming marriage with the young healer Yumi Shan. After a short moment, surprised by the silence from his bodyguards, Kyu turns around in the exact same moment as one of the bodyguards are cut down from behind. The second bodyguard immediately pulls out his katana and charges against the assassin, but is killed as soon as he enters his opponent's range. Kyu is about to pull out his own weapon, a wakizashi, but is pushed aside by his brother. Kyu starts running and hears a scream from his brother, who was cut in half by the assassin. Kyu, this time without interruption, pulls out his wakizashi and stands ready to meet his opponent, confident that his skill of fighting is enough to defeat whoever attacks him. But in a matter of seconds he is disarmed and injured. Kyu offers the assassin his wife and money only to be spared, but for no use. Kyu's heart is pierced by the assassin's sword in the same moment as the assassin reveals his name: "Sagara the Manslayer".
