The Seven Thunders, led by the decendant of Shinsei have assembled to face the Dark One, Fu Leng as their ancestors did so long ago. Between them and their destiny stand the stalwart legions of Lion who find their oath to serve the Emperor more powerful than their own sense of preservation. Also opposing them is a vast Shadowlands army led by Yogo Junzo and the oni carrying the name of Hida Yakamo. The Clan represented by the player who wins this event, the ultimate Clan War tournament, will determine which of the Seven Thunders destroys the Dark One forever. However, should the forces of the Shadowlands be triumphant, Fu Leng will cast down the Clans and the world will experience an eternity of darkness!

as it was a 3-round round-robin format, where any clan going 3-0
got something special from Kachiko, anyone that went 0-3 got her disfavor.
