Story

Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja (2007)

After being dismissed from her ninja clan, Izuna wanders with her companions Shino, Mitsumoto, and Gen-An. When they arrive in a small rural village, Izuna carelessly insults the local gods and desecrates sacred ground. The angered gods curse the townsfolk, leaving Izuna responsible for fixing the mess.

• She braves a series of randomly generated dungeons, battling gods one by one.
• Along the way, she’s forced to confront the consequences of her recklessness.
• Despite her constant grumbling, she manages to defeat each god and lift the curses, restoring peace to the village.
• By the end, Izuna earns the gods’ reluctant respect, though she remains unemployed and as brash as ever.

Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja Returns (2008)

Still wandering without purpose, Izuna and her companions drift into another town — and once again, Izuna’s careless words and antics throw everything into chaos. The village gods fall into disorder, forcing her into another round of dungeon-delving to put things right.

• She meets Suiren, a graceful ninja who often serves as her foil, and Kagen, a mysterious warrior with a darker edge.
• For the first time, Izuna isn’t the only playable character — her allies fight alongside her, each with their own abilities.
• The story expands her world, showing her clashing with new gods and unraveling divine disputes.
• Despite the larger cast and more complex struggles, Izuna remains the same: stubborn, sarcastic, and hilariously unwilling to accept blame.

By the end of the second game, Izuna’s reputation as a troublemaking but capable ninja is cemented. She has no job, no clan, and no filter on her mouth — but she has a knack for saving villages from divine disasters.
