Sasuke is given a single command from his lord: defend him from ninjas. Several thousand ninjas, specifically.
Sasuke can run along the bottom of the screen while ninjas fly across the screen diagonally, dropping shuriken. Sasuke’s thrown kunai destroy shuriken and kill ninjas, but falling ninja will block any kunai that hit them. After finishing two waves a Magic Bonus ninja will appear. Magic Bonus ninjas have special abilities, such as rapidly teleporting around the screen or shooting fire, and will award more bonus points the faster they are hit.
