Storyline

Some time after the events of Ninja Gaiden 3, Ryu Hayabusa defeated the Dark Dragon, an evil god that was wreaking havoc across the world. However, Ryu was unable to fully destroy the Dark Dragon and its husk remains coiled around the city of Tokyo, drenching the city in cursed rain that causes the land to overlap with the underworld. Tokyo's populace was evacuated and the city has since been quarantined by the Divine Dragon Order, an independent paramilitary force.

Yakumo then proceeds to the final shrine, located atop the DDO's headquarters, the Dragon's Maw. He defeats Kagachi and reaches the final seal, where Seori reveals that in order to revive the Dark Dragon, she needs to be sacrificed since her body contains the soul of the Dark Dragon.
