The land of Lord Gohda celebrates the passing of the fourth season of peace since the defeat of Lord Mei-Oh. Only the Azuma ninjas knew the truth about Lord Mei-Oh's disappearance into a portal after he was defeated. It was a secret that even Lord Gohda did not know.

The Azuma ninjas serve Lord Gohda with their lives and with their honor- delivering midnight messages to neighboring states and punishment in the shadows to those who turned against him. They are a feared yet unknown group, a faceless arm of justice masked in a cloud of secrets. They are his merciless force of silent assassins.

Originally released for the PC8801SR, PC9801, MSX2 home computer, it was remade for the Super NES platform, which was released in North America. The game is a non-historical account of Japan's warring states period. In that sense, Inindo can be considered as a spin-off of the long-standing Nobunaga's Ambition series.
