The name of the character who saves Sinjid is Fujin, he runs away with him and sets up a small house in the mountains. After twenty years of constant training, Sinjid is finally ready to visit the Shadow temple with Fujin and accept his task to combat the fallen in battle.

One of them will give instructions on how to heal your character after the battle. The one on the right will allow you to save the game. Finally, the white-robed monk on the left will actually heal your health, mana, or everyone in your party. Once you have talked to everyone and collected all the useful information, the next step is to enter the temple.
As soon as you enter, you need to talk to the person on your right, he will point you in the right direction to enter the first enemy portal. However, there is also a shop there, in case you want to buy a thing or two. Not a good idea at this point, as you haven’t had a chance to cash in any profit. Walk left towards your first ninja encounter. There will be a door present or human entrance, which will lead you to the arena. The battle is very simple and is turn based. Which means there will only be one attack at a time. At the end of each fight, the player will find themselves at the entrance where it all started.
