------------ LAST NINJA 2 ------------ THE LAST NINJA 2 They didn't just murder your father, though that alone would be grounds for revenge of the fiercest kind. And they didn't just slay your brothers, or kill only your closest friend. The evil Shogun Kunitoki and the Ashikaga Clan slaughtered the ENTIRE BROTHERHOOD OF THE NINJA, the Mystic Shadow Warriors. Kunitoki and his clan had long been envious of the Mystic Shawdow Warriors. They were jealous of your mastery of weapon craft. They coveted your unerring mental prowess. And they yearned to discover the secrets of your magical powers. So the crafty Kunitoki waited. Patiently. He waited for the warriors to make thier once-in-a-decade piligrimage to the Island of Lin Fen. It was here, on the Island of Lin Fen, that you paid homage to the Shrine of the White Ninja. It was here that you received further teachings from the Koga Scrolls. And it was here that Kunitioki and the Ashikaga clan--with the help of all the demon spirits of the Netherworld--annihilated every member of the Mystic Shadow Warriors. Every member but you, that is. As the spirits would have it, you alone were left behind on this fateful pilrimage, to quard the Bunkinkan Shrine. It was a traditon that began at the dawn of the Ninja. Someone was always chosen to be left behind as a safeguard, should any disaster ever befall the brotherhood when it gathered at Lin Fen. Though it was considered an honor to stay behind and guard the Bunkinkan Shrine, you were not happy about it. For you were supposed to have had the honour of reading the Koga Scrolls. At the time, you though you would have to wait another decade for this opportunity. But now, time has proven you wrong. Word of the shocking disaster has now reached you. At first, it takes all your strengh just to overcome your sorrow. But you must gather all your courage, all your strenght, all your confidence to go and wreak revenge on the Shogun and his followers. The Shogun Kunitoki and his men are still there--degrading the spiritual peace of your sacred Island of Lin Fen. Alone, you must go to the Island of Lin Fen. Alone, you must punish the evil of your brotherhood's treacherous assassins. ISLAND OF LIN FEN Many centuries ago, the brotherhood of the Ninja chose the Island of lin Fen as the site for their Shrine of the White Ninja. It was the place where they could gather EN MASSE, decade after decade. And a place where the Koga Scrolls could be carefully hidden from the rest of the world. The Island of Lin Fen is as treacherous as it is beautiful. In fact, with its craggy coastline, unassaible cliffs, and cascading rivers, it's a natural fortress. Deep in the center of the island stands the Palace of Lin Fen. Another fortress-- but this one crafted by the very hands of th eMystic Shawdow Warriors. Having been to the island once as a young acolyte, you have a vague memory of where certain paths and passages are located. But then, it was over ten years ago that you were there. You were very young. And much has change. THE SIX LOCATONS ON THE ISLAND OF FIN FEN The island is divided into six different regions. Each has its own special beauty. And its own deadly dangers.

And certainlly the most dangerous. 2.THE WILDERNESS-The deeper you go, the more treacherous become the crags and cilffs.

However, there is one things tha's not so obvious: the way out 5.THE PALACE-What a pity to see your scared Lin Fen Place inhabited by the evil Ashikaga Clan.
