The Shinbakufu (幕府, lit. "[the] real shogunate"), also known as the Hundred Demons (, lit. "crowd of one hundred demons") and referred to by Fujibayashi Naoe as the Onryo (怨霊, "[the] vengeful ghosts"), was an influential organization founded by the last shōgun of the Ashikaga shogunate, Yoshiaki, to reclaim his power and rebuild the shogunate. To this end, he and his followers had two primary objectives: to steal the three Imperial Regalia and to depose Oda Nobunaga, the warlord who had caused Yoshiaki's downfall and the decline of his influence.[1]

In time, the Shinbakufu became affiliated with the Templar Order,[2] which had only recently begun spreading its influence to Japan.[3] Yoshiaki sold information on the Imperial Regalia to the Portuguese Templars, seeking to use them as insurance in exchange for money and power to fund his activities.[1]

During the last decades of the Sengoku period, the Shinbakufu came to be opposed by the Kakushiba ikki, a branch of the Templars' archenemies, the Assassins,[2] who had been tasked by the Japanese Emperor Go-Nara to safeguard the Imperial Regalia.[4] While they succeeded in destroying the group in 1581, they were ultimately hunted down by the Iga kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe, an inheritor of the Kakushiba Ikki's ideals, and the samurai Yasuke, the loyal retainer of Oda Nobunaga who became allied with Naoe following his lord's death.[2]
