The gameplay itself is largely the same as that in Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master. The four ninjitsu techniques from earlier Shinobi games have also disappeared. Every time the player manages to collect ten of them, Sho gains one continue. Years of civil war have brought the ninjitsu code and its warriors to the brink of extinction. The oldest boy, Kazuma, begins to reject all the ninjitsu teachings, save the technique of strength. Although the old master has died, his pupils contain the secrets of the ultimate technique.
