Tales of the Ninja

Tales of the Ninja (忍者武芸帳) (also known as Band of Ninja) is a 1967 Japanese film directed by Nagisa Ōshima. It is based on Sanpei Shirato's manga Ninja Bugeichō. Rather than being an animated adaption, Ōshima decided to simply shoot the panels of the manga in order, adding narration and employing zooming and panning techniques.

Plot
The son of a murdered feudal lord meets a renegade ninja helping peasants and farmers rebel against Oda Nobunaga.
