After World War II, the Allied Command in Japan established a new agency to address terrorism and violence in the Pacific region. This agency was staffed with ninja, initially focusing on domestic issues. Over time, the program expanded to its current state, now overseeing 20,000 ninja involved in both domestic and international affairs. Among these ninja is Kudo, a seventeen-year-old high school student who is unexpectedly positioned to be the next line of defense against a potential influx of foreign assassins targeting Tokyo.
