They employ you in various ways to destroy the other to gain control of Ichijo. However it is at your discretion whom to chose finally, they have their own bad and good characteristics. They will individually help you to find out your past in the form of ’soul’ fragments. You will have to gather them and ‘read’ what they tell you.

Apart from daily missions, you may face several other rival ninjas. who still have no idea of the existence of the Asuka ninja. These include the Tarabas, Kenobi and the Mosus, each led by a terrific leader. You may get to face these leaders as a reward.
