Synopsis
When honor means nothing and power is everything, can love survive? A legendary pair of rival ninja clans battle to end years of slaughter as a forbidden love struggles to prevail. Fate will decide if the ultimate declaration must be made: To the one I love... prepare to die.
Four hundred years have passed, four centuries of enforced peace which have failed to soften the hatred between the Kouga and Iga clans. Misfortune written in the heavens, one cruel day breaks the treaty binding these fearsome foes. Pitted one against the other in a deadly fight for Shogun, the terms have been set. Two lists seal their destinies, two lists from which a name can only be crossed out in blood. No mercy will be spared to the enemy.

Review
I was really surprised with this anime not knowing what to expect when I first watched it, but it was a really good series. It is basically about two rival ninja clans, who were about to put their differences behind them when two on the new clan leaders were to marry, however of course it doesn't run that smoothly as war breaks out between the two clans. All the ninjas have a special ability of some kind, to add a twist to the story. Think along the lines of naruto re the special abilities, but a more adult story line.
