What Is Under Ninja About?
A high school loner gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he is offered a part-time job as a contemporary ninja.
This modern-day ninja is assigned to carry out global assassinations.
Following the Second World War, the Allied Command in Japan established a new organization aimed at addressing violence and terrorism in the Pacific region.
The organization recruited and deployed ninja operatives, initially focusing on handling domestic matters.
Over time, the program evolved into its current state, overseeing a workforce of 20,000 ninja operatives engaged in domestic and international affairs.
Among these skilled ninjas is Kuro, a 17-year-old former high school outcast now positioned as the last line of defense against potential foreign assassins infiltrating Tokyo.
