Story

This is a story of the Edo period, when the whole country was in peace. The daimyos of all places in the whole country are free to do whatever they want, regardless of the lives of the common people, since there fortunately aren't any battles. Because they were pushing the limits of luxury the common people of the villages could not support themselves. Their daily life was beyond their control; suffering from gasping and wheezing, and living in poverty.

Well, in these times signed by "Don't do this and that is not allowed!" the famous Goemon appeared on the scene. He simply helped out with everybody's livelihood, stealing koban from the evil daimyos and handed them out to the poor common people. If this world would be allowed to get better… Goemon sets out on his pure journey to give his help to people and leave for Edo to negotiate with the Shogun in order to make this disturbed world better.

However it's a small world after all. Another fellow thief with a similar personality thinks about the same thing and is called to the same journey. That person is once again someone who you all know; he answers to Nezumi Kozou by going *squeek squeek*.

Will the two master thieves lead the daimyos of the various provinces by the nose, while shaking of their persistent pursuers? Will they safely arrive in Edo? Will they provide their advice and will Japan be reformed by the Shogun?

Now the fate of these two daring people determines their final destination namely by getting to know your skills.

Persevere Goemon and don't get defeated Nezumi Kozou!
