Kubi transports viewers to a chaotic era where Oda Nobunaga fiercely pursues national unification, engaging in relentless battles against formidable rival clans. His ambitious campaign is suddenly complicated when his trusted vassal, Araki Murashige, stages a rebellion and then vanishes without a trace. Nobunaga gathers his key lieutenants, including Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi, issuing a critical command: find Murashige, and the successful individual will be named his successor. Hideyoshi, alongside his brother Hidenaga and military adviser Kuroda Kanbei, concocts an intricate secret strategy. They recruit Sorori Shinzaemon, a former ninja now working as a storyteller, to locate the elusive Murashige. However, Hideyoshi's true intentions extend far beyond merely capturing the rebel; he secretly schemes to eliminate both Nobunaga and Mitsuhide, seizing ultimate control of the country for himself. This thrilling quest for a vanished rebel unveils a deeper, treacherous game of power and betrayal.
