Synopsis
Sasuke follows a young ninja in the wake of the Battle of Sekigahara, which led to Tokugawa Ieyasu becoming shogun of Japan. Sarutobi Sasuke—meaning "Jump Like Monkey Sasuke"—was a renowned ninja serving Sanada Daisuke, who had fought on the losing side against Ieyasu. He was believed to have taken his own life when cornered in a castle, but the narrative reveals he actually escaped and that "Sarutobi" is not the name of a single ninja but the designation of an entire ninja clan.
