Late Meiji era. The Russo-Japanese war hero, Sugimoto Saichi, nicknamed "the Immortal Sugimoto", is in Hokkaido to acquire a large sum of money for a specific purpose. There, he is offered the chance to get rich from the huge reserves of gold stolen from the Ainu people. The reserves are hidden by a man imprisoned in Abashiri Prison, and the tattoos on the bodies of 24 escaped prisoners are said to be clues to its whereabouts.
Then, Sugimoto is attacked by a brown bear, and an Ainu girl saves him. The girl, whose name is Asirpa, had her father killed by the man who took the buried gold. As if in response to Sugimoto's actions, the 7th Division, the most powerful unit in the north, and escaped prisoners with tattoos on their backs, who have long been in the dark for the buried gold, also start to make their movements known. What will become of the get-rich-quick survival that has been taking place in the magnificent northern lands?
