In his book 'The Life Giving Sword' he says that you must make your mind clear like still water reflecting the full moon so that whatever thoughts are directed at you are reflected back upon the attacker and then you will be able to react with the proper counter measure to anything that comes at you and he says that this concept can be applied to more than just physical combat but also to business and politics and any walk of life. Munenori left behind some writings about his art. These stories are mostly fiction based on myths but they do have connections to real people and real events in Japan's history. Many mythological traditions like to combine the two together because it makes for a wild array of skill combinations one person might have had. In roughly the same part of the mountain ranges in the area where the Yagyu village still is was an area that had practitioners of the occult arts or voodoo. Munenori's father Muneyoshi had learned the Shinkage-Ryu or "shadow art" based on psychological martial skills and created the Yagyu Shinkage-Ryu. He was the son of Munenori Yagyu, who was one of two or three instructors in the martial arts to the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu and his family. Of course, the myth was created because of the disappearance for many years of the real Jubei Yagyu when no one knew what he did during that time. It does great justice to Ninja Scroll, unlike a few other attempts to recreate that great story which is culled from myth. It also has an association to the classic Ninja Scroll movie, where there are these ninjas who each have different mystical powers that are unique to them alone.

It is very similar to the script of the live action movie called Shinobi that came out not too long ago. Meanwhile, the plot addresses a beautiful love story that is doomed, politics, martial arts, and philosophy. Years later, Gennosuke Kouga, the Kouga clan’s heir, and Oboro Iga, the Iga clan’s heir, have fallen in love. However, when the powerful warlord Ieyasu Tokugawa orders a ceasefire, the two clans are forced to lay down their arms. Apparently there are two illegitimate heirs to the shogunate and whichever side wins will determine the next shogun. For centuries, the Iga and Kouga ninja clans have been at odds. The story is about two ninja clans, the Iga and the Koga, who are ordered to assemble their ten best warriors to kill each other until only one side lives.
