Synopsis:

Black Ninja (Ninp? Yami H?shi) This story was shown in Australia after the final story even though it follows directly on from Iga Ninja later on in 1788. This one saw the return of Gensai the Wolf, who joins the Black Ninja (Yami H?shi) group of K?ga Ninja led by Hakuunsai, and revolved around their attempts to expose the elaborate system of spies the shogunate employed to keep a check on the domain lords, so they would take advantage of the resulting dissatisfaction of the clans.

Rice merchants are dropping dead in Edo, with authorities at a loss to explain the murders and rumours of their political connections running rife in the town. Vicious spies are travelling thick and fast through the town, in disguise, but not invisible...who can they be? While returning from Hakone, Shintaro is attacked by a young samurai spy named Gorota, unaware that Shintaro is investigating the mysterious murders. Gorota lets Shintaro in on a secret: the deadly secret of Owari...The Black Ninja! Originally aired on Australian TV in 1965, The Black Ninja is based around the social unrest in Japan in 1788.
