How much cooler would this movie with the original storyline
First watch this movie:

A Better Plot:
- movie needs to be a lot more serious
- Raidou rapes Kasumi's mom
- Ayane is born
- Kasumi and Ayane are within 2 years apart (Kasumi being older)
- Kasumi gets to be in the higher kingdom full of riches while her half-sister Ayane is in the Mugen Tenshin clan where they are kind of like a lower class and protect the higher class of where Kasumi's family is.
- Kasumi's Mom tells Ayane that she is her mother and that she is sorry for not telling her or taking her in.
- Ayane gets really mad at her half-sister and strives to find every way to get to her.
- Ayane and Hayate have a close relationship as a brother / sister. Ayane and Hayate are half-siblings. Ayane's affection for Hayate is a sisterly love because he is really nice to her and stuff.
- Raidou attacks the town to get the Torn Sky Spirit Blast.
- Raidou is a "copy cat" and learns moves by seeing them.
- Ayane attacks Raidou and gets attackeed.
- Hayate gets pissed that Raidou hits his sister, he decides to use the special move of the Torn Sky Blast
- Raidou finally gets what he wants.
- Hayate becomes badly injured into a coma
- Kasumi gets really mad about this and decides to leave to hunt Raidou down
- Kasumi becomes a Shinobi, a runaway as explained in the movie.
Lead: Kasumi
Protagonist: Raidou
Conflict: Kasumi seeks out revenge for her brother Hayate.
Ayane really hates Kasumi so she tries to kill her on her way. Kasumi is a Shinobi and punishment for that is death.
On their way Kasumi and Ayane have to team up to kill Raidou.
etc...
That is just a rough draft but that plot is so much better. Basically the DOATEC Tournament can still go on and then ninjas interrupt it somehow because of that drama.
