Suzunosuke came to the foot of Mt. Chichibu in pursuit of his grandfather's death, Hikyomono Tayu and Takerinbo. Recently, a thunder man with six iron claws appeared under the castle of the moon, and it was said that he would breathe life. For this reason, the castle had excellent martial arts personnel to exterminate thundermen. Monotayu and Takerinbo were also held. One day, when Kotoehime of the Moon Ring Castle visited the Moon Ring Myojin, a thunder man appeared with a terrible thunder. When Raijin tried to take the princess away, the stone gravel released by Suzunosuke hit Raijin's claws and broke away. At the request of the princess, Suzunosuke promised to help exterminate the thunder. The condition is that the Jikoishi will be returned to the original owner as soon as the castle owner returns to Japan. Monotayu and Takerinbo escaped to Kuroundani because Suzunosuke was greeted by the castle, but were taken away by Raijin. One night, while the princess was walking in the garden, a thunder man attacked her and she was robbed. It is said that if you bring a charity stone, you will return the princess. Suzunosuke visited Soan, the only person who knew where Jikoishi was, but he had already been killed by a thunder man. The thunderers came to the Moon Ring Myojin, relying on the ancient documents stolen from Soan. Suzunosuke, who followed him, was suddenly swallowed by a torrent. However, Suzunosuke's vacuum slash drew water, and Jikoishi appeared. Thunder man approached before Suzunosuke. There, Suzunosuke, who is good at vacuum slashing, regained the princess and defeated Raijin.
