Gin, the dog who killed Akakabuto has passed. His son, Weed, is now older and is starting to lose his sight and hearing. However, Weed has no heir, no dog to take his place as leader of Ōu. His son, Orion, is off training with other dogs in another canine paradise.

The dogs who live in the canine paradise that Weed currently rules have spent the last several week panicking. Weed hasn’t chosen a new leader, despite the fact he is elderly and could die any day. But one day, a border collie dog named Nine comes Ōu.

The other dogs are suspicious of Nine, not convinced that he wasn’t some sort of assassin sent to kill Weed. But, despite what all of the others said, Weed accepts Nine into Ōu, the canine paradise.

Times passed by and Nine gained some more trust of the Ōu dogs, and almost gained the full trust of Weed. Nine proved himself to be quite the soldier and hunter, as well as loyal. But, on his travels, Nine heard of another dog, that so evil he makes Hogan, the great dane who tried to take Ōu for himself look more like Weed than a villian. He never heard the dog’s name, all Nine knows about this dog is that he is evil and building an army to attack Ōu and take it for himself.

Nine’s morals tell him that he must take the chance and tell Weed, but he is afraid something will happen to every dog, good and bad, if he does. Nine knows that he might be overreacting, but he doesn’t want any more lives lost than needed. And in his old age, would Weed believe Nine? Is Nine able to bring peace once more to Ōu?
