The History of the Castle of the Dragon is a Scroll in Ninja Gaiden II.
In-Game Description[]
Above the Earth Dragons' paths that flow through the lands of
Fuji, there lies a mountain that erupts with spirit. In the night, a
faint white crown of light rests upon its peak.
Lord Nobunaga, he who challenged the heavens for control of
the land, ordered that a stronghold be constructed at the height
of the hallowed mountain. Lord Nobunaga, he who decimated
the Ninja province of Iga, now sought the support of a select
group of Ninja. In these times of civil war, even the most
powerful feared the creatures that dwelt in the deep forests
of Fuji.
Lord Nobunaga knew of a superior clan, a group of warriors
who had fought back the demons for generations. Known as
the Hayabusa Ninja Clan, these descendants of the Dragon
Lineage had long lived in these woods, slaying the evil spirits
that dared to show themselves in the sacred lands of Fuji.
Thus, the Castle of the Dragon was conceived: an impenetrable
fortress to quell the threatening evil. The leader of the Hayabusa
Clan, Shunden, shook hands with Lord Nobunaga and promised
its construction.
The castle was built, a strong face to stare down the evil
menace. Thus did history record this event shortly before
the incident at Honno-ji that cost Lord Nobunaga his life.
