A thrilling tale of high adventure and survival unfolds in the rugged wilderness of Hokkaido during the early twentieth century. Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi Sugimoto embarks on a perilous quest to uncover a hoard of hidden gold, armed only with a cryptic map and the guidance of a native Ainu girl named Asirpa. As he navigates through treacherous terrain and encounters a host of murderous cutthroats, bandits, and rogues who are aware of the treasure's existence, Sugimoto must employ all his skills and wits to outsmart his adversaries and secure the precious gold.

In their quest to claim the Ainu gold for themselves, Asirpa and Sugimoto return to Hokkaido, accompanied by Lieutenant Tsurumi and Hijikata, who are determined to thwart their plans. While Sugimoto and Shiraishi work on a strategy to locate a mysterious tattooed prisoner named Botaro the Pirate, a series of gruesome murders in Sapporo catches Hijikata's attention. Lieutenant Tsurumi orders Tanigaki to assassinate Sugimoto, but the loyal Matagi has a single-minded objective: to find Inkarmat, the true mastermind behind the treasure.

As the plot thickens and the stakes rise, Saichi Sugimoto finds himself caught in a web of danger and deception, with no clear path to salvation. With Asirpa by his side, he must confront his fears and embrace the unknown, using his military training and survival instincts to outwit his enemies and emerge victorious in this epic adventure.
