Mirai Ninja/Stage 5

Once the background has reappeared behind Mirai Ninja and the stage title has appeared on the screen, start running to the right and throw a shuriken at each of five Sasuke that are running towards you to kill them before turning back to the left and throwing a shuriken at each of six Hanzou Hattori that are running towards you from behind to kill them. Once you have done so, continue running to the right as the ground slopes downward and throw a shuriken at each of three Shuriken Launchers on the rock face in the background that will fire three of their own slow-moving shurikens at you each time they rotate ninety degrees anti-clockwise to kill them before jumping up to collect a Waza (green) powerup above you in order to throw three shurikens at once for a short period of time. Once you have done so, continue running to the right as the ground's downward slope gets steeper and throw a shuriken at each of six more Shuriken Launchers on the rock face in the background to kill them as you go. Once you have reached the bottom, continue running to the right until you come to a "Ninja Yashiki" on the rock face in the background; an infinite amount of Sasuke are pouring out of it towards you, which you will have the opportunity to kill for extra points. However, you must not forget about the Beam Launchers that will appear and fire a laser beam at you if you take too long over the stage - so once you have jumped up and thrown enough shurikens at the Ninja Yashiki to destroy it, you must continue running to the right and throw a shuriken at each of four more Shuriken Launchers on the rock face in the background to kill them as you go. The ground will then slope downwards again as three more Hanzou Hattori come running towards you from behind; turn back to the left and throw a shuriken at each of them to kill them before continuing to the right as the ground's downward slope gets steeper again and throw a shuriken at each of four more Shuriken Launchers in the rock face in the background to kill them as you go. Once you have reached the bottom, you can collect the Chikara (yellow) powerup in front of you if you need the extra energy before continuing to the right as the ground's downward slope gets steeper yet again and throwing a shuriken at each of five more Shuriken Launchers on the rock face in the background to kill them as you go. Once you have reached the bottom, continue running to the right until you come to another "Ninja Yashiki" on the rock face in the background with an infinite amount of Sasuke pouring out of it towards you; as with the first one, you will have the opportunity to kill them for extra points, but you must not forget about the Beam Launchers that will appear and fire a laser beam at you if you take too long over the stage. Once you have jumped up and thrown enough shurikens at this second Ninja Yashiki to destroy it, jump up to collect an Inori (gray) powerup above you in order to shrink any Sasuke that are still in the vicinity. Once you have done so, continue running to the right until you come to four shrunken Domu that are approaching you from the front - and once you have slashed them with your sword at close range ennough times to kill them, continue running to the right until you come to four Chinnese-type lion statues in front of the rock face in the background; as you run past each of them, four Stick Users will jump out of them and spit a laser beam from their sticks at you from behind. Once you have turned back to the left and thrown a shurikenn at each of the Stick Users to kill them, the holographic image of the Evil Master Shikinami Kurosagi will appear in the background - which means that it is time for a boss battle once again. Inari will reappear in front of Mirai Ninja and summon three Semushi Men to jump out of the ground, do a somersault in mid-air and disappear back into the ground; he will then fire eight fast-moving shurikenns at you before warping around to the left side of the screen and repeating the process. As with the first time you fought him on the first stage, Inari will never stop summoning Semushi Men to jump out of the ground until he is killed - which means that you can kill them for extra points, but you must not forget about the Beam Launchers that appear to fire a laser beam at you if you take too long over defeating Inari. Once you have thrown enough of your own shurikens at Inari to defeat him for a second time, he will explode and any Semushi Men on screen (along with the Chinnese-type lion statues in front of the rock face in the background) will disappear. The double doors to the temple on the right will then slide open and Mirai Ninja will proceed through them to the sixth stage - which, like the second and fourth ones, has a multitude of paths that can be taken through it.
