Basilisk


Basilisk
Basilisk takes place in the year 1614. Two ninja clans, Tsubagakure of Iga and Manjidani of Kouga, battle each other to determine which grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu will become the next shogun. The deadly competition between 10 elite ninja from each clan unleashes a centuries-old hatred that threatens to destroy all hope for peace between them. Each clan will represent one of the two factions supporting Ieyasu's grandsons; the names of their selected fighters recorded on two identical scrolls to be marked out in blood upon their death. The clan that slays the chosen 10 of the other will be given favor for a thousand years while the grandson they represent will be pronounced the undisputed heir to the Shogunate. But not all parties involved are willing to seek blood in the name of ancient grudges. Prior to the conflict's renewal, Kouga and Iga's two young heirs, Gennosuke and Oboro, respectively, were betrothed to each other in the hopes that their union would finally dispel their clan's long-seated animosity toward each other. Gennosuke and Oboro must now choose whether to kill the person they love, or lead their entire clan to annihilation. Against centuries old hatred and the horrors of war, is love even capable of surviving?
