Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja is an action role-playing game for the Nintendo DS. Players control Izuna, a ninja seeking a new home after being expelled by her master. While searching for her missing Grandboss in a village, she inadvertently angered the local gods. To restore balance, Izuna must navigate through various shrines and resolve the disturbances caused.
Izuna and her ninja clan are looking for a place to settle down after their old master Mugen decided that ninjas were obsolete, and booted them from his castle. Upon arriving at a village that's suitably out of the way for their `Grandboss`, Gen-An, they decide to stay at an inn when Grandboss wanders off.
While trying to find Grandboss, Izuna manages to offend the gods of the village, and everyone in the area starts behaving strangely. Now Izuna has to descend into the various shrines for the gods in order to set things right.
