Ninja village wiki movie#
In Ninja Gaiden Sigma, this pre-rendered movie is not used and she has an in-game model depicting her death.

Six months after she'd make an appearance in Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, saving Ryu's life when he was overwhelmed by Ishtaros's power by summoning the Eye of the Dragon from within her beloved little sister. Even in death, her will was done when Muramasa revealed the secret to Ryu in her place. Kureha was also faithful to her duties as Guardian of the Dragon's Eye Gem, and knew of the secret of the Dragon Sword even more so than Ryu as demonstrated when she tried to give it to him during the tragic Dark Dragon Blade Incident that claimed her life, trying to save the Dragon Bloodline from extinction.

In life Kureha was a benevolent and gentle Dragon Maiden and a dear friend to Ryu, and was greatly loved by everyone in the village, an affection she returned. Six months later, Kureha would return to the world as a benevolent spirit, lending her assistance to Ryu and her sister Momiji in the second battle against the fiends of Hell and the reborn Dark Dragon. It was at her grave that Ryu obtained the Eye of the Dragon, and where he later returned it to. This help spur on Ryu's quest for vengeance. When Doku attacked the village, she was killed trying to prevent the theft of the Dark Dragon Blade. Doku was the one responsible for her demise and burned the Hayabusa village. As guardian of the Dragon Lineage Shrine, she was charged with the protection of the Eye of the Dragon. When they grew to adulthood, though, Ryu walked the path of the shinobi while Kureha became a shrine guardian. As children, Kureha and Ryu were almost inseparable.
