In order to help his family’s temple, Ryogen is a monk who works at the sect of the Tonenji sect, the largest sect of Buddhism, and aims to get promoted. One day, while attending the sale of land owned by a temple, he notices that the Tonenji faction is keeping double accounting. Because of this, he was glared at by powerful people within the sect, and when he was forced into a predicament, it was Wakura, a powerful figure in the Kyoto underworld, who reached out to him. Ryogen dares to become evil in order to return the Tonenji faction, which is covered in greed, to the righteous path. Ryogen, who uses the yakuza to eliminate his enemies and doesn’t hesitate to even kill people, rises to become the leader of the Tonenji faction.
