From Wikipedia:
Set immediately after the Japanese Warring States Period (Sengoku Jidai), Iga and Kouga, two ninja clans that produced powerful ninjas for warlords, have been waging a vendetta against each other over hundreds of years.
Around 1614, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the highest ruler of Japan and the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate , perceived the threat posed by the ninjas of Iga and Kouga. Attempting to consolidate his reign, he deliberately stirred up the feud between the two clans by inviting them to choose their five best ninja warriors to have a fight to the death.
