In his first ninja class, Ittoki is tasked with using a Ninja Core and Ninja Suit to scale a tower, gather a manjuu, and return to the starting point with it. However, they have a time limit before the principal eats all the manjuu. Unfortunately, Ittoki has little experience using a Ninja Suit, and has difficulty moving until Ryoko, being from a family that manufactures ninja gear, helps adjust the suit to his size. As he heads for the tower, he discovers that the Koga students have stolen Kirei's manjuu. Angered, he confronts the Koga bullies and is beaten by them until the principal intervenes, but Ittoki was able to steal one of their manju and gives it to Kirei. However, Ittoki himself takes too long to complete his assignment as the principal eats the last manjuu. After the assignment, Ittoki finds that due to pressure from the Koga students, none of the other students want to associate with him, but he takes solace in the fact that he can count on Kousetsu, Ryoko, and Kirei to support him.

Ittoki and his friends come up with a plan to steal the answers, but Ittoki's inexperience with using ninja tools tips off the teacher to their presence, forcing Kirei to act as a distraction while Ryoko picks the lock to the safe. Elsewhere, Tokisada meets with Ryoko's father Gantetsu, who mentions that the Koga approached him with working on a secret project.

He reports this back to Yumika, who realizes the Koga want to steal the Iga's secret Ninja Core to start a war.

Ittoki stays behind in the village while Yumika goes to attend the meeting. Goshogawara levels his accusations against the Koga that they have been violating the Ninja Ordinances by unlawfully suppressing or absorbing smaller ninja clans, citing the mysterious disappearance of the Saiga and many other clans. He then calls for the other ninja heads to testify against the Koga, but none stand up except for Yumika, who admits the existence of Iga's secret Ninja Core and points out Koga is looking for a pretext to steal it. She declares that she is willing to destroy the core to keep it out of the wrong hands, and reminds the other clans that their purpose is to uphold Japan's peace, not fight each other. This inspires the other clans to admit that the Koga have been slowly encroaching on them as well. Kidou is arrested, but Captain Karajishi uncovers newly discovered evidence implicating the Iga in Kishinmaru's death, resulting in Yumika's arrest as well. Suspicious, Goshogawara performs his own investigation and discovers something wrong with the evidence, but he is murdered by Karajishi, who reveals himself to be working for Koga.

Knowing that Karajishi is corrupt, Shione and her team try to figure out how to solve the situation their own way.

The Koga begin their assault on the Iga village itself, but are continually repelled despite their superior numbers. From observing the Asura ninjas' behavior, Ryoko surmises that they only have a very short battery life and must be constantly recharged. Ittoki and Ryoko decide to head out to scout for recharging station while Kirei stays behind and reluctantly sends a warning to Suzaku. Meanwhile, at NSC headquarters, Tokisada is able to defeat Karajishi and his men while Kousetsu escorts Yumika back to the village. Shione and her team then arrive and arrest Karajishi, having caught a team of Koga ninja attempting to dispose of Goshgawara's body under his orders. Back at the village, Ittoki and Ryoko attempt to sabotage the charging station but are stopped by Himura, only for Kirei to intervene and destroy the charging station herself, having finally decided side with Ittoki. With the charging station destroyed, the Koga have no choice but to retreat. However, Karajishi activates a secret system implanted inside Kousetsu to mind control her and take Yumika hostage in an attempt to find the secret Iga Ninja Core. Yumika attempts to talk down Kousetsu, but is apparently stabbed and killed by her. Ittoki and his friends arrive too late and find Yumika dead while a catatonic Kousetsu is apprehended.

While Iga managed to survive Koga's assault, many other ninja clans are attacked and destroyed. With Yumika's death, the Iga clan is left in turmoil as Ittoki officially succeeds her as the 19th head of the clan. With many Iga members clamoring to retaliate, Ittoki decides to wait until Yumika's funeral is complete. Ryoko and Kirei return to their villages, only for Ryoko to find her father having had his hand cut off by the Koga and Kirei barely escaping a Koga assassination attempt thanks to her father sacrificing himself. Shione passes information to Tokisada revealing the NSC is planning to make their move against Koga and that Kousetsu had a mind control chip implanted into her as a sleeper agent. Tokisada reveals he knew Kousetsu is actually one of Kidou's illegitimate children, but Yumika decided to adopt her anyways. He also tells Ittoki that Kousetsu resisted the mind control so she could not have killed Yumika, meaning there is still a traitor in Iga. Meanwhile, Suzaku attends Yumika's funeral and pays his respects while arguing Ittoki over the need for vengeance. Suzaku then returns to his home where he finds a recording left behind by his father, proving that Kidou murdered Kishinmaru as part of a plot to eliminate all ninjas in Japan. Ittoki then tells Yumika that he has decided he will lead the Iga in his own way, and asks Tokisada for his help.

Ittoki makes the decision to negotiate with the Koga, offering to hand over the Iga Ninja Core in return for guarantees of Iga's autonomy as well as the condition of not to use the Core for military purposes. Realizing that the peace treaty would prevent them from using the Core in the Asuras, Kidou authorizes a second attack on Iga to take it by force. Meanwhile, Kirei admits she was working for Suzaku to both Ryoko and Tokisada, but they forgive her since she ultimately ended up helping defend Iga. Suzaku offers to trade his father's video to Kidou, but he sends assassins after him, instead. He easily defeats the assassins and hands over the video to Tokisada, instructing him not to get in his way. Dissatisfied with Ittoki's refusal to fight, Kozo convinces the other Iga ninjas to revolt against Ittoki, but it's all a ploy by both him and Ittoki to draw the true traitor, Reiha, into the open. Reiha claims she followed Kidou's orders for a chance to save her comatose husband before attempting to poison herself. Ittoki leaves behind a note explaining that he has taken the Core and left with Tokisada and Kousetsu to confront Kidou directly after expelling themselves from the Iga clan.

Kousetsu and Tokisada refuse to let Ittoki confront Kidou on his own and accompany him despite his protests. Upon entering the Koga tower, they are immediately attacked by a horde of Asuras. Ryoko and Kirei arrive to hold them off, with Kirei apologizing to Ittoki for her betrayal. The trio continue their way up the tower, with Tokisada and Suzaku staying behind to occupy more Koga ninja, though Suzaku is badly wounded in the process. Ittoki and Kousetsu confront Kidou in his office, where Ittoki wonders if Kidou was motivated by wanting to break free from the shackles of ninja society. However, Kidou admits he only wants to destroy all ninja on his own whim and for the sake of power. Unbeknownst to him, Ittoki has been secretly transmitting Kidou's confession to the NSC, who mobilize and storm the building. Kidou activates his own Ninja Core and attacks Ittoki and Kousetsu, though thanks to the Iga Ninja Core, Ittoki is able to defeat Kidou and leaves him to be apprehended by the NSC. Kidou attempts to use the opportunity to attack Ittoki, but Tokisada intervenes and kills Kidou right as Shione and the NSC arrive. Tokisada claims full responsibility for murdering Kidou before fleeing, and Shione has no choice but to declare him a fugitive. With Kidou dead and the Koga suppressed, the situation is put under control. Several years later, peace has returned to the ninja clans. Shione continues the manhunt for Tokisada, though Kozo believes he is merely protecting Iga from the shadows. Suzaku becomes the new head of the Koga clan and makes peace with Iga. Ryoko continues developing ninja gear while Kirei decides to become an actress. Finally, Ittoki and Kousetsu decide to move on and live normal lives, though Ittoki uses his ninja abilities to save a young boy from an oncoming train and playfully claims that ninja don't exist.
