【Choyotei】

From an old storage room, a map of the "Golden Wings", said to have been hidden by the former hot spring guardian of this gorge, was found.

However, the map is encrypted and has a barrier that reacts to the steam and the presence of rocks. You will work with Kotaro, a young ninja who inherits the hot spring guardian's barrier, to solve the barriers remaining in the building.
