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. As he navigates through treacherous terrain and encounters a host of murderous cutthroats, bandits, and rogues who are aware of the treasure, Saichi must employ all his skills and wits to outsmart his adversaries and secure the precious gold.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Tsurumis men launch an all-out assault on the Goryokaku Fortress, utilizing naval bombardment as cover. Despite Hijikata's strategic maneuvers and the support provided by an old cannon, the task of evacuating Asirpa, the Ainu girl, and the deed for the Ainu land from the fortress becomes increasingly challenging. As the battle rages on, scores are settled, and old enemies come face-to-face, testing the limits of their loyalty and honor.

Despite their frequent disagreements, Hijikata and Sugimoto find themselves fighting side by side, each driven by their own interpretation of the revered Bushido code. Their shared goal of protecting Asirpa and securing the Ainu land brings them together in a climactic showdown that will determine the fate of those involved.

The story unfolds against a backdrop of breathtaking landscapes and intense combat, leaving the reader on the edge of their seat as they witness the triumph of good over evil and the preservation of cultural heritage.
