G.I. Joe thinks SNAKE EYES is dead—but he’s joined the Arashikage: the ninja clan commanded by his sword-brother, STORM SHADOW. After being betrayed by Cobra, Storm Shadow believes he and Snake Eyes are waging a clandestine war against a common enemy… but Snake Eyes has his own plans.

Storm Shadow brings the ninja RIKA—herself doubtful of Snake Eyes’ loyalties—to a routine meeting with COBRA COMMANDER… but the Commander has learned of Storm Shadow’s covert actions. As Cobra Vipers close in, Snake Eyes may be the ninja’s only hope.
