We used that later for SZ in MK3.' Daniel Pesina recalled Tobias' idea involved two ninja brothers, one of whom 'wants to lead the clan, so he kills the father who is their teacher'.

According to Tobias, the original 'Hunter&Hunted concept was going about a ninja escaping from his clan and hunted by another member.

Tobias wrote this inspiration came from the controversial book China's Ninja Connection by Li Hsing, which 'posits historical evidence for the existence of the Lin Kuei and their influence on the Japanese ninja.
