Sakuna, daughter of the war god Takeribi and the harvest goddess Toyohana, was leading a lazy and spoiled life due to her privileged upbringing. However, one day, she inadvertently allowed humans who had wandered into the realm of the gods to enter the capital.

Amidst the raging sea, Sakuna and her companions finally reach the island and head towards the mountain pass where her mother, Toyohana, once lived.
