And who knows, he might get a little help from that pesky Inspector Zenigata (Tadanobu Asano) along the way!

Flame of Recca: Complete Collection
A ninja must serve a lord, and Recca Hanabishi has sworn to serve the person who can defeat him in battle.

When a mysterious woman confronts him and tells him he's the last survivor of an ancient clan of ninja--the chosen one born with the power to control fire--his whole world is turned around. A battle ensues, and he finds out just how true her claims might be when he summons flames from his hands. How much does she know, and what does she want with Recca?
