Under Ninja

Ninjas never vanished from modern Japan. Hidden after the Pacific War, they now number in the hundreds of thousands and have infiltrated government offices, companies, and ordinary neighborhoods while carrying out covert missions through the organization NIN. Seventeen-year-old Kurou Kumogakure does not look like an elite operative. He spends most days unemployed in a shabby apartment, borrowing money and stealing beer from a neighbor. Then NIN finally assigns him real work: infiltrate a local high school. The seemingly minor mission places Kurou in the path of rival ninja activity and hints at the existence of Under Ninja, an organization working against NIN itself. Beneath the absurdity of his daily life, a shadow war is beginning to move.
