You play as a dragon ninja trainee, the very first mission has ryu running you through a training course where you fight him at the end (which is an intended loss). Later this character gets infused with a spider clan girl who kind of acts as a spirit and is how you shoot kunai, some parts of the stages allow you to play as her temporarily

I stand corrected, you can beat him, you just need a bit of extra health at the end for whatever reason. I tried it twice in a row and just barely had a sliver of health and it failed me so I assumed it always did that.
