Under Ninja (2025) Movie Script
What the...
Is that from the bomb?
No. Look closely.
His thumb and head had been severed clean with a sword.
Only a ninja can do that.
Ninja?
Seems about right. There's origami on the desk.
The Japanese government employs 260,000 police officers and 230,000 self-defense force members, and there are around 200,000 ninjas in the world, but it is said that 90% of them are in Japan.
Capture the ninja-hunting foreigner.

Emergency NIN News
An attack occurred at a convenience store
in the Midori Ward.
Someone who became completely invisible
killed a NIN employee. The victim was Takahashi,
an employee at a convenience store in Renma Ward.
According to NIN's investigation, it is believed that
someone who became completely invisible
committed the murder. The ninja responsible
may still be in the area, so NIN near the
convenience store should be careful.

During the Pacific War,
what troubled the Allied Forces the most were the Japanese ninjas.
In fact, while stationed in Japan, MacArthur faced an assassination attempt by ninjas.
But some rookie ninjas stopped it.
GHQ, after entering Japan, issued Special Order No.1, instructing:
Submit a full list of ninja personnel
from the army, navy, and the Home Ministry, and report their escape.
As a result, ninja organizations were dismantled and disappeared.
But 70 years after the war,
the world entered a new era of religious wars, ethnic conflicts,
and the age of terrorism.
Clear!
Clear!
All clear!
- Freeze!
- Hands up!
The elite ninjas, thought to have vanished, now skillfully operate on the front lines,
carrying out secret assassinations and sabotage missions.
The Japanese government employs 260,000 police officers
and 230,000 self-defense force members,
and there are around 200,000 shinobi in the world
but it's said that 90% of them are in Japan.
I've read the manuscript.
Thank you.
So? Think this version will finally do?
No, it won't.
What did you just saaaay~?!
What did you saaaay?!
Please rewrite everything from scratch.
What did you just say?
Rewrite it all.
All of it? The whole thing?
Yes, rewrite it. Please have the revision done by 3PM tomorrow.
W-W-W-Wait, Suzuki, Suzuki. How about this one? This one, over here.
I just started writing it, you know.
Not good.
What did you say?! La-la-la, what did you say?! La-la-la, what did you say?!
What did you say?!
You didn't even read it.
Hey, Suzuki, seriously. You didn't even read it, did you, Suzuki?
Sorry, got an errand from my boss.
Huh? You're leaving already?
I'll drop by again tomorrow.
W-w-wait, Suzuki, hey...
I got torn apart again...
But I don't hate her.
So you're the ninja everyone's talking about.
Are you the female ninja? A kunoichi?
What do you want with a Japanese ninja?
I don't know which group sent you,
but we shinobis aren't weak enough to be taken down by just one person.
Hey, Kato.
Testing the skills of your underlings?
Who knows.
It wasn't my call.
That was the boss's idea.
I don't think this is something for Hachiya to step into.
Depends on Suzuki.
He'd had been retraining, huh.
I screwed up.
I will never die.
What?
This way of moving, could he be...
I'll leave the rest to you.
Wait, you're okay letting someone else take the credit?
It sounds like a hassle, so I'm fine with it.
Seven points.
Four points.
Zero points.
I'm bored.
Way too bored.
You look bored.
Kumogakure Kuro.
Lately, even the lower-ranked ninjas are out of work.
There've been whispers about deserters too.
It's a pain, but we're the ones patrolling.
Deserters?
The ones who escape from NIN.
Let me make this clear.
No matter how many of you desert, our company won't suffer.
But there are regulations.
If you escape, consider yourself erased.
Of course.
Now, onto the mission.
A mission?!
Your stamp.
Oh, right.
Even a name like this has a family crest.
Yeah, it does.
Still...
The once-mighty Kumogakure clan has really fallen.
Um...
What exactly am I supposed to do?
This time, the target is
the Under Ninja.
Also known as UN.
A ninja faction that broke away from NIN.
They've been underground for over 70 years since the war.
We received intel that they've infiltrated Kodan High School.
That's the site of the old Nakano Army School branch, Egota Branch.
Why would they be in a place like that?
Figuring that out
is your mission, isn't it?
Oh, right.
But...
Infiltrating a high school? I'm 24, you know.
It'll be fine. Don't worry about it.
If you're stuck, look at the floor.
The floor?
What's that?
A flash attack?
N-No.
A toothpick just fell from the ceiling.
Oh, this thing?
Ten points.
Right?
I see.
So this makes me look like a ninja.
Switch.
What is this, a heated table?
Huh?
Whaaat?
Whoa, this is awesome.
I turned invisible.
Turn it off...
Then back on...
Kuro! Get the toilet paper for me!
But this thing...
Does it really need to just make the upper body invisible?
What's wrong?
Can you get me some toilet paper?
Uh...
Where is it again?
Where else? It's obviously in the bathroom!
What?
Then go get it yourself.
I can't! Not with how messed up this old apartment is.
What the hell is going on here?
Who puts the toilet paper that far away?!
She's totally drunk.
Oh, come in and I'll kill you if you peek.
That'd ruin you socially and politically.
That's insane.
But I'm a shinobi.
I make the impossible possible.
Then go ahead and open it.
Here you go.
Ah.
Don't look, you perv!
A peace offering.
Thanks.
Why is your room connected to the one next door?
Who knows.
It was already connected when I moved in.
Thanks to that, I don't even need a fridge.
Where do you sleep?
In the closet.
I sleep on the top shelf, Ono takes the bottom.
What is this, Doraemon?
How old are you anyway?
Just your average 17-year-old.
What do you mean "average"?
I thought you were way older.
You're underage!
And you're just casually drinking?!
Yeah, I guess so.
Well, I was drinking too, to be fair.
I got a job!
Tonight I celebrate!
Oh no...
Huh?
Thought someone was just here...
Never mind.
Ah, time to drink and celebrate!
Hey, Kumogakure.
You drank all the beer, didn't you?!
No. I didn't drink them though.
Look at all these empty cans.
See? It says "Ono" right there.
Ono is Kawado's stage name.
Her alias is a surname?
Her alias is literally a last name?
Don't just make stuff up.
I'm sorry.
Bye then.
Don't "bye then" me!
Listen.
You're the only one who can get into my fridge.
Huh?
"Huh?" What do you mean "huh"?!
That's amazing.
You just froze and went, "Huh?" with that blank face.
Like, "Huh? I didn't do anything."
Huh? That's impressive.
Huh?
Huh?
One more time?
Huh?
Why do you keep saying "huh"?
How are you so good at this?
How can you act clueless so confidently?
Why are you closing it?
Huh?
Huh?
Because the conversation's over.
What?
It's not over.
It's not over. It hasn't even started.
Oh, I see.
Why would you close it on me?
Huh?
Huh? Wow.
Why am I so good at making things awkward?
My pure heart is mad right now.
I, Ono, am seriously pissed, you know.
- Huh?
- Huh?
Don't "huh?" me.
I said don't "huh?" me.
I'm telling you, stop saying "huh?"
Why'd you drink all the beer?
Seriously, what am I supposed to do now?
Hey, hang on a second.
I was really looking forward to those beers.
I finally landed a job, you know.
Why would you ruin something I was excited for?
Hey...
- Huh?
- Huh?
Wow. Even your reset expression is next level.
- Huh?
- Huh?
I'm not giving up.
I'm already doing a white-out flake-out...
Huh?
Championship rules have been updated.
Huh?
Huh?
You win. You're the champion.
I lost.
- Huh?
- Huh?
That's weird.
The teacher should be waiting, though...
Wait, uh, wait, I can't get through here.
Hm?
You're in the way.
Huh? Me?
Who else would I be talking to?
Hey, isn't it hot wearing a hoodie over a blazer?
Yeah, it is.
Then just take it off?
Nope.
Ugh, your vibe is kinda annoying.
Wait, are you the new transfer student?
Hey, Noguchi, your test is starting.
Oh, you must be Kirigami from the transfer exam.
It's Kumogakure.
Kumogakure, right.
Wow, that's a rare name.
Nah, it ranks in the top ten most common surnames in Japan every year.
Seriously? I didn't know that.
You lie so smoothly.
Wait, that was a lie?
Of course it was. Obviously.
Sadly, we're just second this year.
Whoa, amazing!
It was a lie. You believing it is wild.
What's the most common one?
Sato.
Sato, huh!
You don't need to sound so disappointed.
Second has to be Suzuki or Tanaka, right?
You might be the weird one here.
What's your name?
Me? Noguchi Ayaka. Nice to meet you.
Noguchi, ranked 88th nationally.
That's mid.
Dude, you're creepy.
So it is mid!
If only I were born a Sato!
Why are you obsessed with ranking high?
You're just as weird.
Anyway, Noguchi, back to your seat.
Kumogakure, sit wherever you like.
Honestly, anywhere's fine.
Just roughly pick one.
Doesn't have to be a favorite or anything.
You're the type who cherishes the first encounter, huh.
I see...
Why are you looking so lost?
Could you sit down already?
Don't mind me.
I am minding you.
This is quite the eventful first meeting.
Can you just pick a seat already?
Then I'll sit here.
Okay.
Whoa, too close!
Why?
Wait... is he into me?
Hey, Noguchi.
Be sure to pass this time.
If you don't score well on this placement,
you might really have to repeat the year.
Your whole future's on the line.
Who knows anything about life at 17 or 18?
Alright, let's begin the test.
It's your choice to start with English, Math, or Japanese
so let me know when you're done.
Got it.
Just like he said, the answers are on the floor.
In shinobi codes.
Goshiki rice code.
This should work.
Alright, Noguchi, your placement test starts too.
Okaaay.
Multiple choice up to "A to D".
Each character is represented by two grains of Goshiki rice.
It matches the number of questions.
First, write down everything.
If there's time, make a few answers wrong on purpose.
Just enough to make it look natural.
Aaaah!
Gross!
What's wrong, Noguchi?
Bugs! Bugs!
Bugs?
Bugs?
There's something lined up underneath... it's disgusting.
Bugs' eggs?
Wait, aren't these just rice grains?
Ah, touch those and your skin cracks open.
What?!
In Japanese they're called "pseudo rice grains,"
a rare species with highly toxic eggs.
Rare species?
When you see them paired in twos like that,
it means the male and female hatch, then mate immediately,
for rapid reproduction, apparently.
Ew, that's unbelievably disgusting.
Is that even true?
The world is full of strange things.
The classroom isn't the whole world.
Maybe those bugs exist, maybe they don't.
Yeah... I don't really know.
But still, sounds like something to look into.
Noguchi, get the broom!
Roger!
Damn it.
Before the rice code is cleared, make the next move.
Oops, I dropped my eraser.
Aaah! Someone touched my butt!
A groper! Groper!
What?!
No, Noguchi, calm down.
We're not cut out for this.
But someone... someone touched it!
There's no way, we are too far.
That bought us a few dozen seconds.
Alright, Japanese is done.
Next is math.
You okay, Noguchi?
You're not hyperventilating, are you?
Deep breaths. Come on, deep breaths.
Oops, I stepped on the eggs.
Don't "oops" me!
Breathe in through your nose,
and out through your mouth.
Keep repeating it.
That's it.
You okay? Phew, thank god.
Let's clean that up.
I'm starting to spiral into resentment.
So English was a total wipeout.
I've got to salvage math no matter what.
Ninja art...
Water Style: Hidden Mist Technique.
Noguchi.
You calmed down?
Yeah.
But Sir, I don't feel like taking the test anymore.
Can we just make this a do-over with compensation?
Whoa, if you say that, you'll end up actually repeating the year.
Aah!
What now?
The floor!
The floor?
Aaah!
Teacher!
No, wait...
He already wet himself.
What's wrong, Kumogakure?
Huh?
Actually...
I've been extremely nervous since yesterday,
and couldn't stand how thirsty I was,
so I drank way too much water.
No,
but still, wetting yourself at your age...?
I mean, it's fine, but come on.
In this mental state,
I can't take the exam.
That's a problem.
Hey, what's going on?
Alright, let's do this.
I won't say a word about this.
And I'll tell Noguchi to keep quiet too.
Consider it forgotten, okay?
So just take the exam, okay?
Teacher, take him to the bathroom.
Huh? I have to do that?
I'll clean up here, don't worry.
Didn't expect her to be this decent.
Alright then,
Kumogakure, come on, let's go.
Come on, get up.
You can't stay like that forever. Kid, you had no choice.
Hey, you didn't complain out loud, did you?
Just checking, just checking.
Don't cry.
Huh?
You waited for me?
Yeah.
Okay then.
Let's walk part of the way together.
Huh?
That plastic bag...
Wait, don't tell me...
They're my used underwear.
Want it?
What the hell.
Then wanna stop by my place?
Huh?
"Then"? What do you mean "then"?
We haven't said a word since school, not one bit of conversation,
and now you drop that on me?
Huh?
What?
Don't "what" me.
Stuff like that you're supposed to build up to it.
Is that how it works?
That's how it works.
So, wanna come over?
Were you even listening?
I can't believe I actually came.
I forgot what I was even wearing today.
Huh?! That way?!
Should I come too?
Yup.
Aren't I heavy?
Very.
That's when you're supposed to say I'm not!
Wow.
But why are we on the roof?
Because if I skipped all the steps you'd hate going into a guy's room, right?
Not that I'd hate it or anything.
Honestly, being on the roof is weirder.
Well, I'll go grab something to drink.
Are beers okay?
Wait, beers?
Yeah. I'm fine, thanks.
I see.
You're still a student.
So are you.
He's such a weirdo.
You just casually drink, huh?
Well, the rooftop's dangerous, so
I don't usually drink up here.
That's not what I meant.
Oh.
You've got a booger on your face.
What? No way.
Hey, wait, wait.
Okay, okay...
You got it. It's off.
Why would I even have a booger on my face?
Don't worry about it.
Anyway,
what's the class I'm joining like?
What do you mean?
Number of groups and their hierarchy,
who's top and bottom in terms of status,
whether there's bullying,
and if there is, how the school handles it,
any romantic relationships in the class,
dirt or scandals I could use for leverage,
basically any gossip or intel.
What are you, a cop?
It's all just to make school life more comfortable so I'm gathering useful intel.
Where should I start?
Hmm...
Bullying.
Yeah, bullying happens.
Someone got caught filming proof of it,
then got bullied even more and stopped coming to school.
That's nasty.
His name's Eita, by the way.
We were in the same elementary and middle school.
Childhood friends, huh?
I wouldn't say we were that close, though.
But Eita wasn't totally innocent either.
He was secretly filming girls and stuff.
Yikes. Yeah, that's not okay.
Any school rumors?
Let me think... maybe something.
Like school legends or mysteries?
Oh yeah, there's one.
Our school used to be
some kind of military facility, apparently.
There's an entrance in the back woods that goes underground.
Some student who went in as a joke supposedly disappeared.
Underground, huh.
Maybe the old army school hid something down there.
Also, our school director is terrifying.
Director?
You don't know?
The person who does all sorts of stuff around school.
I see.
The director...
The one who probably knows everything happening at school.
So maybe he's the Under Ninja.
Might have to face him eventually.
I think I'll head home now.
Ah, sorry.
And thanks.
No worries. You've still got beer, right?
I can climb down on my own.
Be careful, alright?
Fifth tile from the front, tenth from the bottom is fragile.
Wait, what?! Where even is that?!
Hey, come on!
Hm?
What is this?
It has a built-in airbag?
If this gear gets exposed, I'm in trouble.
She passed out with the wildest look on her face.
Thank goodness.
Maybe I'll carry her to her home.
Yeah. Not bad.
Welcome back.
Hm? What's wrong?
Huh? What do you mean?
What about you anyway?
Nothing's going on with me.
Except that you're obviously shaken, Mr. Ono.
I'm not. What are you talking about?
You are so rattled.
You got back kind of quick.
Not really.
Oh, right, right.
So Mr. Ono, why are you wearing Kawado's bra?
Ah! Wah! He knows.
Please, do tell over a drink.
That was about two weeks ago, I think.
When I got fired from my last job and came back to this apartment.
Outside my place, there was a bra just... floating midair.
I was totally stunned.
So I ran up the stairs and jumped at the bra.
And just as I caught it,
I felt this weird gaze from below.
I was like, "Oh no, this is bad..."
Creeped out, but I looked down anyway.
And there he was.
Between the apartment and the wall...
A kid's face jammed in the gap, eyes wide open, just staring at me like a ghost.
Oh, that's probably a drone being piloted by
a local middle schooler who just discovered puberty.
He's been spying on Kawado's room for a while.
Looks like he finally went for the underwear.
A middle schooler? You knew about this?!
If you knew, you should've told Kawado!
But setting that aside, I'm still waiting to hear why you're wearing the bra.
Whatever, never mind.
Hormones or not, voyeurism and theft are unacceptable.
I guess it's time to teach him a lesson.
This immobilizer gun really packs a punch.
Wh-Where am I?
Could it be I'm in that lady's room?!
Oh, he's awake.
Hey now, you just sighed, right?
That sigh was at me, right?
"Oh no, it's not the lady's room," huh?
"Ugh, it's this dude? What a letdown. Sigh."
Don't just sigh, okay?
Look, we dragged your unconscious body here. Some gratitude would be nice.
I'll keep silent.
What?
We haven't even questioned you yet, why are you staring like that?
That stare is basically a confession.
Tch.
I heard you clicking your tongue.
What's your name?
I'm Eita.
Eita? You're childhood friends with Noguchi?
What?! You know Noguchi?!
I transferred to Kodan High.
I heard you're being bullied.
Yeah... I am.
Are you not going to school anymore?
If I go, those guys will bully me again.
I can protect you, if you want.
Really?! You mean it?!
Yep. Let's go on Monday.
Please don't just decide that on your own.
Hey, Ono. Here, returning what I owe from before.
Huh? Just one? What about that?
This one's for me. Let me off the hook, okay?
What?!
So... who's this kid?
Y-You're so cute!
Oh, sorry.
Uh, and he is...
He found a bra and kindly brought it back.
Oh, really? Thank you.
Uh, no problem.
This is the one the old lady next door dried here because her place gets no sun.
So it wasn't your bra then?
Of course not! I hate bras like that!
Are you both alright?
Oh wow, those pickled eggplants look tasty!
Saruta.
As a rogue ninja, you have only one path left.
To pledge yourself to us, UN.
That's not gonna happen.
I didn't run away just to survive.
The idea of dying without giving it my all...
...is something I can't stand.
If you let me fight, I don't care which side I'm on.
I just want to be in a battlefield.
A unit where I can fight and die!
Very well. You pass.
I'll assign you to a special unit.
Kill and kill and kill and kill.
I'll keep killing till I drop dead.
I am Yoshida Akikazu. A historical novelist.
I've been writing for 20 years.
Since nothing ever sells, I now write pulp fiction.
Specifically, alternate history sci-fi to stay afloat.
I'll sleep for now.
Please, come by tonight.
When I sleep, I leave my doors and windows unlocked.
Then put on an eye mask and lie to bed.
Just like I did many years ago, back then...
Wake up.
Ssshh....
Close your eyes.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Ever since that ninja sat at my bedside, I've kept that habit.
December 18, 1996.
Do you know about the Zaiperon Japanese Ambassador Hostage Election Incident?
Of course. Absolutely.
Back then,
seven of us fought against 200 special forces soldiers from the Republic of Peron
myself included, all shinobis.
Really? Oh my.
That ninja told me a hidden truth.
Probably the reason he spoke to me, a novelist,
was because he wanted the story to be shared with the world.
That's what I realized.
At the time, I was broke. No electricity, gas, or water.
Even knowing the risks, I wrote a novel and managed to get it published.
"Seven Ninjas: Retrieve the Ambassador" sold reasonably well, but...
Readers thought it was fiction and didn't take it seriously.
But somehow, that book reached the ninjas.
After that, they came often to tell me of their secret missions buried in history.
Recently, that serial killer case got solved, right?
The one who caught him was me.
That was a ninja too?
Remember the Air Max sneaker muggings?
That was actually us who escalated it into real action.
Brings back memories.
Nin nin, nin nin, nin nin, nin nin, nin nin.
Nin, nin.
Years passed as ninjas started revealing themselves, and then one day...
A certain woman appeared at my bedside.
Wake up.
So you're the one writing all the shinobis' nonsense into books.
"Shinobis"?
Wait. So she's not one of them?
I will eradicate all the shinobis on the surface.
She's going to destroy the ninjas?
Why?
Most ninjas spoke only of the past.
But she alone left me with a story of the future.
Kuro, are you really going to protect me?
Sure, for 500 yen per session.
So you're gonna charge me.
I thought we were friends.
It's business.
So it's like that, huh.
Hey, school's that way.
This way's closer.
What?
Where is he going?
Kuro?
How do you know where I live?
I gave you a piggyback, remember?
What?!
Even Eita's here.
Huh?
Are you two... like, together?
What do you mean, "together"?
No way! Are you stupid?
What are you talking about?
Whoa, you're blushing!
Hm? So what do you mean that?
Kuro, you're really dense!
Come on, let's go.
Kuro, did you really give her a piggyback ride?
Yeah.
Giving a piggyback ride is already an A-level move!
No, maybe even B-level. Actually, C, maybe?
So you're going back to school.
Ah, yeah.
Because Kuro said he'd protect me.
Huh? Seriously?
Don't go sneaking into the girls' bathroom again.
I told you, that was a misunderstanding!
There was a bug planted in there!
And when I reported it to the teacher, somehow...
You shouldn't be entering the girls' bathroom at all.
Well, I mean...
A bug, huh.
I need to be careful what I say in school.
- I just wanted to protect everyone.
Gross.
Come in.
This is Kumogakure Kuro, joining our class today.
Eita, you're not a transfer student.
Why are you pretending to be?
He never shows up, so he totally forgot.
While we're at it, introduce yourself too.
Quiet down.
Both of you, sit down.
This path's closed. No passing through here.
Go out of the room and come in through the back door.
What?
Step over my foot and you're dead.
Ow!
Teacher, Eita stepped on my foot!
No, my foot moved on its own. It wasn't on purpose.
Enough already.
Just sit down.
Alright, let's start the lesson.
Picking up where we left off. Open your books.
Do you have a textbook?
Hm?
Uh, no. I don't.
You can use mine if you want.
Oh, thanks.
What's your name?
Sato.
S-Sato!
Huh? What?
It's an honor to sit next to the reigning champion.
Champion?
What's that?
A teddy bear?
Hey, Kumogakure.
Class just started, you know. Where are you going?
Hey!
Hey.
Man, I lost all motivation now.
Whatever, let's just self-study today.
Alright!
Who are you?
I'm Hachiya Shion.
You should get punished.
Get punished.
Ah, nice to meet you.
I thought solo ops were the rule.
Looks like multiple lower ninja have infiltrated.
Ah, I was at that recent ninja hunting capture too.
I did sense one more person.
I was supposed to deliver the final blow.
Thanks to you, I was embarrassed.
Should we really be talking here?
We're being watched.
By the director, huh?
I see.
So that's him.
321 yen.
So he really is a shinobi and used Junpuji arts.
But why make it so obvious to us?
Is he telling us to come to him?
Where is the director usually stationed?
Let's see...
You infiltrated first. You should've figured that out.
- Ah!
What is it?
It's your friend.
Hmm?
Eita.
Sorry to ask, but can you help me carry these boxes?
Y-Yamada!
It's kinda heavy.
Yamada Mizuki.
The prettiest girl in our year, cheerful, and mature.
Liked by everyone, ruling the social hierarchy at school.
Someone way too dazzling for a bottom-feeder like me.
Eita. You listening?
So cute!
Yes!
Gladly!
I'll carry them! With pleasure!
Excuse me!
It's heavy.
Yamada, Yamada, Yamada.
What the hell is he doing?
Wait, hold on.
Huh, Kumogakure?
Crap, he noticed me.
Oh!
It's you, Eita. What are you doing over here?
Huh? It's you, who said he should come, Azuma.
Good luck, Eita~!
No way. She's adorable.
Well, we've got some guy talk to handle. You can go now.
Okay. I'll just drift off then.
Bye-bye!
Y-Yamada! So fast!
Y-Yamada! Don't leave me! So fast!
S-So cute!
So fast and cute!
Y-Yamada!
Eita, you just fell for the most obvious trap ever.
Are you stupid or what?
Lately on social media, I've been getting anonymous hate messages.
Know anything about that?
N-No...
You showed up during class time, right?
We were in the middle of a short test.
So that clears everyone in our class.
The only one without an alibi...
...is you, Eita, since you were absent.
Right, Noheji?
Yeah.
I was just playing games at home all day.
You're the one who sent them, right?
No! No! I swear it wasn't me!
Huh?
Who the hell are you?
What? What's going on?
Kuro.
Did you come to save me?
I wonder who's hiding in there.
Take this!
Ow...
It doesn't budge!
Hey! Quit hiding and show yourself!
Ow! Ow! Oww!!!
What was that?
Bastard! You're messing with us?!
Wait, why am I in front?
Make your right hand a fist, then left hand open.
Huh?
Okay, relax your arms.
Take this!
That hurt!
Ow! Ow! Oww!!!
Whoa! You're invisible! How?!
It's all yours now.
Finish them off if you want, or do whatever.
- What?
- You're the one who beat them.
Huh? Even if you say that...
Send the payment to my account.
Where am I sending it?
Kumogakure Kuro...
You're crazy strong.
I wanna tell someone.
Ah, it's the plain girl from class.
It's the flashy girl from class.
What are you doing?
Uh, nothing. Just taking pictures outside.
Outside?
Ah, never mind.
Sorry.
Wait. Don't take a picture of me.
Oh yeah, you were talking to Kuro earlier in class, right?
Yeah, he suddenly asked for my last name,
and when I said Sato, he kept calling me "Champion, Champion."
Kumogakure's kind of weird, isn't he?
Yeah, he's definitely weird.
Do you like him or something?
Huh?! What?! Huh?!
As if I like him or something! What do you mean?!
Well, I'm just asking.
I told you, don't take a picture of me.
Don't tell me you're the one who likes him.
I mean, I do kinda like the brooding type.
Whoa, so you do like him!
I didn't say I liked him.
I've already been to his place.
His place?
Yeah, I've been there already,
so I'm ahead of you.
You don't need to brag about it.
Hey.
Speak of the devil, there's Kuro.
What are you doing here?
Where can I find the director?
What? I'm not sure.
Isn't the director usually in the boiler room?
Yeah, he's usually in the boiler room.
Okay.
Huh? He's gone.
Actually, I was the one who said he's in the boiler room.
I'm telling you, I don't like him!
I'm not asking.
Hey! I said, don't take pictures of me!
So he's here.
You just waltz right into enemy HQ, huh?
You were the one who signaled me, weren't you?
I thought you'd show up a bit later.
I can come back if you prefer.
Nah, stay a while. Have some tea.
Why did you sneak in?
That's what I should be asking you.
Just so you know,
your fancy invisibility tricks don't work on me.
Looks like the latest armor from NIN isn't just for show.
It doesn't just make the user invisible, it also boosts combat capability by a lot.
That just sounds sarcastic.
Your side's weapons are way more advanced.
Your side?
Let me make it clear, I'm not with UN.
I'm just a lowly banned ninja.
Banned ninja?
Anyone who defiles this sacred ground must be eliminated.
Don't even try it.
Ton has already locked on to you.
The next hit will vaporize your arm.
Ton.
That's a nostalgic name.
The final weapon of NIN, and
a satellite storing the personal data of roughly 200,000 people.
I'm honored being tracked by something like that.
Want to give it a try?
If someone low-ranked like you got permission to use Ton,
it would mean another war is about to start.
The lid to hell's scythe
just opened, Kuro.
I didn't think Ton will be used.
It went for the kill.
Huh?
Wasn't she the girl from earlier?
Hey, you.
What are you doing here?
Looks like I would be able to sleep well tonight.
Oh? Oh?
Pull the black strands,
pull them, and send them to the heavens.
Once it reaches...
Go back to the depths~
Ah, Sir Yoshida. Let me check your manuscript.
Suzuki, what's wrong?!
What are you wearing, Sir?! What is even our relationship?
Wait, what is going on? What's going on here?!
This is too soon, don't you think?
No, it's not about "too soon."
That's not what this is, Suzuki. Why are you even here?
This is my house!
Get dressed already!
Wait, why am I the one getting scolded? I was just taking a normal bath.
First of all, Suzuki, how did you even get in here?
I came to get the manuscript.
The door was open.
Huh? I'm sure I locked the door.
Thanks for your visit. Please come again.
A cheap trick like that won't be enough to finish me off.
I could see everything earlier, you know.
There are multiple enemies.
But I sense only one presence.
Whoa.
Impressive.
A seasoned shinobi like you carries out the mission right to the bitter end.
The voices from both sides weren't hallucinations,
the voice was coming from the speaker inside the shuriken.
Hey, hey, granny, don't spoil it for me.
Seniors, I'll be going ahead.
Thanks for having me.
I rejected most of his drafts again today.
But that means I get to see him again tomorrow.
There's an attack at a convenience store.
One shinobi was killed.
It was our instructor.
I honestly thought that old lady couldn't die.
Full invisibility?
That would mean UN launched the attack.
If they were targeting a kunoichi,
then there was likely another one right outside the store.
If the kunoichi was walking alone at night...
Bingo!
I really can't see him.
Even their presence is completely erased.
It's nothing like our downgraded domestic models.
Sir Yoshida, I might actually die.
Excuse me, is something wrong?
Get out of here now!
Huh? Why?
Don't lay a finger on civilians!
What's your objective?
Wait, is that you, Suzuki?
Suzuki, um...
Would you, I mean... me...
Um...
Like...
Would you go out with...?
I'm so sorry!!
This is not where you're meant to die.
It's at Kodan High School.
Are you okay?
Y-Yes.
The place where I'm fated to die... is Kodan High School.
It's been a day since driving off the bullies.
The world feels totally different.
Azuma is absent,
and now the rumor is I beat those two up.
This might be a total life comeback.
I might even get popular!
Maybe then I can be with my crush, Yamada!
Is she picking her nose?
Wait, is she picking her nose?
I can't believe my crush Yamada is picking her nose!
Her index finger is even shoved in to her nose!
Oh no! Oh no! Aaah!
Ow!
Can you come with me for a sec?
This is definitely payback for yesterday.
Eita.
Y-Yeah?
I beg you!
That transfer student, no...
Can you bring me Sir Kuro?!
Huh?
I've never seen anyone as strong as Sir Kuro!
Let me meet Sir Kuro!
Whoa, it's not like I can just...
What?
Whoa! He's here!
Sir Kuro!
You who knocked me out in a second! Please, I've got a favor!
No way, Kuro's in an exclusive contract with me.
- Let's hear it.
- You're actually gonna listen?!
Why are you even humoring this guy?
Because his last name is rare.
His name?
Noheji.
Its national surname ranking is 1961st.
It's said there are only around 620 people with that name.
He's one of them.
And?
I've got a thing for rare last names.
What kind of weird thing is that?
Excuse me!
My dad got me into stuff like Gorillaman and Bebop.
Is that your dad's last name too?
Uh, yeah.
Of course it is.
Anyway, as you can probably tell, I used to idolize punks.
But as you know, delinquents are basically endangered now.
Getting into fights with other schools is a long-lost dream.
So, with no other choice, I pick on the weak ones.
It's an empty life.
If it feels empty, stop bullying.
Huh?!
Sorry!
And?
There's a rumor that a legendary delinquent lives under our high school.
A delinquent underground?
A legend said to have conquered every school in this area.
Even now, when punk culture has all but died out,
supposedly, he's been training underground to stick to his own way of life.
That's a bit too much dedication to "his path," huh.
I don't know if it's true or not, though.
That's why I want to see it with my own eyes.
The legendary delinquent, Saemonsaburo.
Saemonsaburo?!
Huh? What? Wait, what? SaSaemon?
Saemonsaburo!
Is he from the Edo period or something?
No, you idiot!
Idiot?
It's said there are only about ten people in the whole country with that surname.
Surname?
Wait, you mean it's not "Mr. Saburou of the Saemon family"?
No, Saemonsaburo is one full last name.
That's so complicated.
What's his given name?
Ryosuke.
Oh, that part's actually normal.
That contrast is kind of hot.
Wait, you can be into name contrasts now?
His partner's name is Chousokabe.
Chousokabe.
That's rare.
Huh? You didn't make that up? What's his given name?
Kazuki.
That's another contrast! I love it!
Whoa, you're really into this.
And the rival punk that led the gang at the next school over is...
Kitaoji.
That's rare.
So super rare!
Now that you mention it, I've only ever heard it in Kinya.
Enough with the surname talk already!
As Kodan High's representative delinquent,
I want to challenge Saemonsaburo to a fight!
So, um, I was hoping you could back me up.
You're scared to go alone, aren't you?
Huh?!
Sorry.
But you're actually going through with it?
That name just made the whole story even less believable.
Who did you hear this?
I don't know who said it,
but I heard it from Yamada.
Yamada.
Y-Yamada said that?
That girl, huh.
Yeah.
I'm counting on you, Sir Kuro.
Well, I doubt Kuro would go along with something that dumb...
Sure.
Thank you!
Why?!
It's not every day you get the chance to meet Saemonsaburo!
I mean, yeah, he's rare, but still!
Thank you so much!
Hey!
I'm counting on you, Sir!
Anyone who asks like that is never normal! Not a single one!
Count on me!
You too?!
Why did you go along with that nonsense?
It's fine.
I have my own plan.
Plan?
What kind of plan?
I've got a small lead, that's all.
Okay.
You heard what happened last night?
Yes. The convenience store was attacked.
The assailant was completely invisible.
Complete invisibility is banned in Japan due to a secret agreement with the police.
Most likely, it was UN's doing.
Tomorrow, you and Hachiya, along with Suzuki, are being sent to Kodan High.
The upper ranks might already know what UN is planning.
By the way, Mr. Kato.
Did you see the news about the satellite?
And now, our next news story.
A rocket was launched without its intended miniature satellite, it turns out.
It was launched from the International Space Center.
Sounds like one of those "can't be real" stories!
Seriously!
Maybe it's not real!
They sure get along well like usual.
You liar!
When am I ever gonna meet someone decent?
Then I'll seat here.
You waited for me.
Yeah.
Wanna come by my place?
Why am I so bothered about him all of a sudden?
No, no way. Definitely not.
I'm going to sleep.
Ssshh!
Calm down. It's me.
Be quiet. I'm saying it's me.
Kuro? Why are you in my room?
Well, don't worry about it.
Of course I should! If the school finds out, we'll get expelled!
It's fine. The school's going to disappear anyway.
What?
Noguchi, don't go to school tomorrow.
That's all.
Wait, wait. Hold on a sec. That makes no sense.
What do you mean the school's going to disappear?
Hmm, it might get blown or something.
What? Want some tea before you go?
No, I'm good. I'm sleepy.
Seriously? So what are you doing tomorrow, Kuro?
I'm going.
Huh? That's dangerous.
What? You worried about me?
What? No. Not really.
Before you worry about others, you've got a booger on your face.
Ugh, gross.
It's not coming off. It won't come off.
Still... still not coming off.
Got it. It's off. It's off.
Ugh, why do I always get a booger on my face?
Don't sweat it. Later.
Ah, hey...
Damn that Eita.
Think you can hurt me and get away with it?
I'm gonna start bullying you all over again.
Huh? Why can I see my body?
Huh? It just left me!
Man, slicing people up is so fun.
Now then, think I can chop off 100 heads today?
You looking for something?
I can't find Kuro anywhere.
Kumogakure, huh? Got something urgent?
He told me not to come to school today...
But I got worried and came anyway.
You shouldn't go to school?
He said the school's gonna be gone or something.
So this place is becoming a battlefield again.
Hey, if you find Kumogakure,
can you give this to him?
A ring?
Yes, a ring.
Wait, doesn't me giving it to him seem kind of too much?
How so?
I mean like...
You should just give it to him yourself.
I've got other things I need to take care of. I'm counting on you.
Hey, UN has arrived.
They killed a male student in the suburbs, and infiltrated the school grounds.
If you can pinpoint the target's location,
Ton can launch an ultra-precise strike.
- Roger.
- Roger.
What the hell is Kumogakure doing at a time like this?
Is there seriously an entrance to the underground in a place like this?
Okay, what is that?
Huh?
Whoa, there is one.
Alright, let's go.
Um...
This is kind of hard to say, but...
Actually,
can you guys go without me?
What?!
You're the one who said you wanted to go!
I didn't think it would really be here!
Whaaaat?!
I'm legit about to pee myself from how scared I am.
Actually, I already kinda...
...peed a little.
So for now, you two go see what kind of person he is,
and I'll come later.
You coward!
That's the worst excuse I've ever heard!
It's fine.
It is?!
Eita, you don't have to come either.
What?! Why not?! We came all this way!
I'll be the only one who becomes a legend.
Wait, what?
Hold on.
- Thank goodness...
- Thank goodness...
What did you say?!
Sorry...
Azuma!
I told you that if you're late again, you're really gonna be in trouble.
Wait, your head's gone.
What?
What's happening?
What?
What?
Sneaking lunch in the bathroom, huh?
What a weirdo.
I'll let you live.
Huh?
Just now, there's been a report of an intruder on campus.
That's the information we've received.
As a precaution,
all students and faculty,
please proceed to the courtyard.
That's exactly what the enemy wants.
They'll all be wiped out in one go.
Please do.
Please stay calm,
and try not to panic.
We ask for your cooperation.
Just like in the evacuation drills,
begin moving...
begin movi...
begin moving...
Huh?
What happened to the speaker?
We'll stabilize the entire school.
The intruder report was a false information.
Do not move and remain in your classrooms.
Leave it to NIN.
UN has moved to another tower.
If you want to cooperate, I'm by the board eraser cleaner.
From that spot, we can talk in real time.
So the Junpuji user has linked up with NIN, huh?
That's how it is.
Neither of us has any other option.
Your ability to track within the school is limited.
The enemy knows that very well.
Let me ask you something.
You live on the surface as a defector, someone who left the shadows.
That makes you an extremely rare case.
You've been here for 20 years. Why?
Watching these kids grow became my reason to live.
But maybe that's not a real answer to you?
Hey! Go back to your classrooms!
Come on now, you head back too.
So the time has finally come, Suzuki.
How do you know my name?
It's me.
Back in school, you messed with me all the time, it's Saruta.
Saruta?
Oh, I think there was someone like that.
Don't you dare look down on me.
I knew it, I still can't cut you.
Don't try to act cool.
Huh?
Was I actually cool?
Director Kato.
Suzuki.
I didn't think someone from the upper ranked ninja like you
would come all the way here for me. I'm honestly touched.
Shut up.
Dammit.
But did I get all the data we needed?
Ah, Eita! Have you seen Kuro?
If you're looking for Kuro, he went to the basement behind the school building.
Basement?
Yeah. I'm not totally sure, but there's an entrance in the woods behind the building.
Huh? Didn't that entrance suddenly appear?
Yeah. It was definitely there.
But more importantly, let's go back to class.
Eita, go on ahead.
Huh?
Eita.
Y-Yes?
Can you come here a sec?
M-Me?
Uh, okay.
I tore my Achilles tendon.
Sorry, but can you give me a hand?
She can't walk.
But we have to get back to class.
Please. She saved my life.
I knew it was you.
You're an Under Ninja.
Correct!
Stop hiding and fight already.
One of the Seven Blades, the grandson of Tara.
Hachiya Shion!
My real target is you.
I know.
You're a real contender for next-gen leader.
Never thought a washed-up lower ranked ninja like me
would end up facing someone so high-ranking.
Life really is full of surprises.
But your life is about to end.
Ton has you locked on.
You're bluffing. Like they'd fire at their own grandson.
You should know NIN's threshold protocols better than anyone.
Hachiya
Laser cannon, prepared for depletion mode.
Wait. At this rate, Hachiya's going to get caught in the crossfire.
Laser target lost, Ton's laser cannon has automatically shut down.
What's your real target?
Who knows, take a guess.
Of course you won't tell me.
Fine. Let's start with bare hands.
Sure.
Guess you respond better to a fight.
You flail around kinda cutely.
Looks like you're not someone I can beat with tricks.
I'll treat this like sparring with a master.
A woman's chest isn't something you borrow.
It's given with love, something sacred.
That's not what I meant.
Looks like you're here safely.
There's a door behind the stage. Go there.
Oh, and this fire extinguisher is a radio. Take it with you.
The fire extinguisher just talked.
They've got this kind of thing in school now?
That's creepy.
Still, it saved us this time.
Hey, carry the extinguisher.
At a time like this? Seriously?
Hurry.
Uh, how exactly?
Ah, it opened.
There's a space like this below the stage?
Looks like it goes on forever.
Even underground, if there's a satellite strike, you'll get caught in it.
Keep going deeper.
A satellite strike?
Is something that dangerous happening on the surface right now?
You're better off not knowing.
This extinguisher's heavy.
Seriously, it's heavy.
Let's move.
I didn't know fire extinguishers were this heavy.
Just realizing now how heavy they are.
It sure is heavy!
What is this place?
It's the exit of the Under Ninja underground tunnel.
And also the remains of a secret factory.
Impressive of you to know.
Where's the exit?
Look over there, see that side tunnel?
It's filled with concrete now, but it used to go on forever.
Rumor has it some tunnels even reached Nagano.
What?
Ah, let's take a short break.
Oh, okay.
Well, since several tunnels like this connected here, we call it an exit.
Um, what kind of secret factory was it?
A counterfeit money factory.
In the 1980s,
while everyone on the surface was partying during the bubble era,
these guys were busy printing fake bills underground.
Thanks to that, Japan's economy stayed stagnant after the bubble burst.
Meanwhile, the UN got their hands on massive funding.
We also lost a lot of people.
When the NIN finally discovered this underground site,
the conflict escalated rapidly.
That was back before Ton even existed.
Every side tunnel was blown up, trapping people alive.
Even the women and children working there were mercilessly slaughtered.
You talk like you saw it yourself.
I did see it. With my own eyes.
I see. Now I understand why you're here.
I was the sole survivor,
left in a gray zone between the government, NIN, and UN,
kept alive to be a gravekeeper.
I never wanted this place to become a battlefield again.
Are you okay?
Get up and let's do it again.
Even fools know it's too much now.
What? Really?
You giving up already?
You could use Ton if you want.
If that's the case you're already a target.
Huh? Why?
Because Ton is what you're really after.
Sadly, UN's tech is far ahead of NIN's.
If their suits function like space suits,
they could even operate in outer space.
Don't tell me... they sent Ton with that rocket?
Exactly.
A female student's been snooping around about me.
She was right there when Ton was used flying over old man Junpuji.
I bet she was confirming Ton's coordinates for UN.
She probably lured me and Hachiya to Kodan High to make us use Ton.
When Ton was dropped on old man Junpuji, they must've locked in its coordinates.
Who knows.
Are you planning to hijack Ton?
You ask too many questions.
Clingy guys aren't popular, you know.
Ah, here it comes.
What the heck is that?
Your weapons have evolved way too far.
If I used a sword, the fight would be over in a flash.
You're seriously going all-out.
UN's target is Ton?
During contact with Saruta earlier,
it was clearly identified as a space-grade assembly.
Ozu, alert the Earth surface team.
If not, they'll lose NIN's data and control over a hundred thousand people.
Found you.
What?
Too bad!
How about that?!
You saved me.
Let's get out of here, Hachiya.
What about Kuro?
He'll be fine for sure.
Ah, Kuro.
Noguchi.
Yamada?
What are you doing here?
The director said to give this to you.
What's that?
I can wait for you if you want.
Fighting junk like that isn't fun anyway.
If we're gonna do this, let's fight properly.
Okay?
What's up with Yamada? What's going on?
Uh, what is even happening right now? What are you doing?
What?
Just wait a little longer.
Huh?
So that was my drone?
Maybe that's all you're really capable of.
Want to test your skills?
My apologies for the interruption.
Analysis shows UN suits are assumed to function like space suits.
UN's goal is Ton.
Worst-case scenario: they seize Ton's internal data and control.
We should consider activating Ton's self-destruct protocol.
Has UN's presence been confirmed?
No confirmation yet.
Reporting this could affect strategic resources. Are you prepared for that?
Once they've breached us, it's too late.
We can't protect the personal data of 200,000 NIN members.
What's your decision?
So I'm going to get killed if I do that?
That won't work either, huh?
You tried to turn invisible, didn't you?
It's pointless.
At this point, maybe the only way is to rush in and take us both down.
Want me to tell you the answer?
Personal data isn't our only target.
We're here to destroy Kodan High.
I knew it.
Time to erase this pointless history.
And start a new kind of war.
Kuro!
Let's run, Noguchi. Staying here is too dangerous.
Ton detected an emergency entrance breach and lock release.
They've hijacked control of the laser cannon.
No way! What are they planning with our own laser cannon?
Laser cannon charging at maximum output.
Maximum output?!
Your decision, sirs?
Self-destruct Ton now.
From here on out, even greater chaos begins.
Ton has been activated.
What was that just now?
Kuro, hang in there.
Noguchi, I'm sorry...
Getting out is no longer an option.
What?
Aren't we going to be saved?
Wear this.
Your hoodie?
It's no ordinary hoodie.
It may not look it, but it has an airbag.
But what about you?
I'll be fine.
No, you're clearly not fine!
I told you, I'll be fine.
Don't worry about me.
I don't...
I don't want that.
By the way...
You've got booger on your face.
Kuro, no... Hey...
No! Kuro!
Kuro...
Kuro!
This afternoon, a massive explosion occurred at a high school in Nerima Ward.
The school building was completely destroyed,
and rescue teams are searching for missing students and teachers.
I'm so glad you're safe, Ayaka.
It's a real miracle, a true miracle.
Yeah, a miracle.
I'm glad she's okay, Mom.
Cheers for Kumogakure.
There is no one found in the school that is suspected who caused it.
It happens again. This is because of the ninjas.
Kuro?
No.
I'm Kumogakure Juro.
You hearin' me? Me. You seein' me? Me.
You alive? Me. You dead? Me.
Hurts like hell, me. In a foul mood.
Sorry, not sorry. Me. Far from human.
Vanished, me. Scattered, me.
Fresh as hell, me. Old-school vintage, me.
You know me? Me. So damn loud, me.
Too damn much, me. Back the hell off, yeah, yeah.
Mad unstable mental, eyes like a crazy babe, brain insane.
All these cocky rivals turned pale and ghosted, blood-red eyes froze like dots.
Where'd I even come from? Where the hell am I headed? Hasta la vista (Ayy)
We look alike (Ayy)
I'm your damn doppelgnger (Ayy)
Workin' like crazy, don't even stop to eat, chasin' that paper, go for it.
Haters only got twisted views, I'm comin' right at you,
Double-slap to the face (Ayy)
Smackin' you all the way to Andromeda (Ayy)
Already faded away (Fade away)
I'm your damn doppelgnger (Ayy)
I'm the embodiment of your pain (Ayy)
I'm the embodiment of your rage (Ayy)
The filthy soul itself, right here (Ayy)
Blame it all on me, fine by me (Ayy)
I'll say "yes" hands down (Ayy), now go look in the mirror.
Out there, everyone's wearin' red-and-white caps all day, playin' kiddie games like Red Rover.
Those guys? Still stuck bein' just human. (Stop)
Hmm... Everyone wants to think they're one-of-a-kind (Uh-huh)
But in the end, you're just Mr. Nobody.
Hey, you're everybody (Ayy) You're also nobody (Ayy)
A fresh new life? I'll take it. (I'll take it)
Met before, haven't we? (Haven't we?)
Always passin' each other by (By)
We already switched places ages ago (Switched)
It's been forever now (Been forever)
Lock eyes and you're dead (Dead)
Just kiddin', I charge straight ahead (Ahead)
One, two, three people (Three)
Here's your escape route (Here)
Armor, masks, costumes, fighter jets too
Stand-in, reincarnation, whatever, as long as the endorphins hit.
I'm the front, you're the back,
I'm the front, you're the back,
Doesn't matter either way (Ayy)
We can switch up anytime (Ayy)
Wanna make some noise?
Mad unstable mental, eyes like a crazy babe, brain insane.
All these cocky rivals turned pale and ghosted, blood-red eyes froze like dots.
Where'd I even come from? Where the hell am I headed? Hasta la vista (Ayy)

Ayy, been called a lotta names since way back,
But always carried the shrine with one face.
Tough enough to survive, never gave up,
Now I've got more ways to hustle.
Middle fingers up, I sneak in silent,
Next thing you know, everything's soaked in blood, ha.
But it's my own verses that cut deep,
Keepin' the life cycle spinnin' again.
Feelin' that power surge, whoa!
Flyin' through the night like that guy,
By day, I'm daddy throwin' jabs, one, two,
Suit up and I'm already on the way to pick you up.
TV guy, meme guy, crossed the sea, worldwide.
Quietly standin' behind you, blendin' in with the crowd, no one really knows this guy.
I'm bored.
Way too bored.
Is that from the bomb?
No. Look closely.
His thumb and head had been severed clean with a sword.
Only a ninja can do that.
Ninja?
Seems about right. There's origami on the desk.
The Japanese government employs 260,000 police officers and 230,000 self-defense force members, and there are around 200,000 ninjas in the world, but it is said that 90% of them are in Japan.
Capture the ninja-hunting foreigner.

Emergency NIN News
An attack occurred at a convenience store
in the Midori Ward.
Someone who became completely invisible
killed a NIN employee. The victim was Takahashi,
an employee at a convenience store in Renma Ward.
According to NIN's investigation, it is believed that
someone who became completely invisible
committed the murder. The ninja responsible
may still be in the area, so NIN near the
convenience store should be careful.

During the Pacific War,
what troubled the Allied Forces the most were the Japanese ninjas.
In fact, while stationed in Japan, MacArthur faced an assassination attempt by ninjas.
But some rookie ninjas stopped it.
GHQ, after entering Japan, issued Special Order No.1, instructing:
Submit a full list of ninja personnel
from the army, navy, and the Home Ministry, and report their escape.
As a result, ninja organizations were dismantled and disappeared.
But 70 years after the war,
the world entered a new era of religious wars, ethnic conflicts,
and the age of terrorism.
Clear!
Clear!
All clear!
- Freeze!
- Hands up!
The elite ninjas, thought to have vanished, now skillfully operate on the front lines,
carrying out secret assassinations and sabotage missions.
The Japanese government employs 260,000 police officers
and 230,000 self-defense force members,
and there are around 200,000 shinobi in the world
but it's said that 90% of them are in Japan.
I've read the manuscript.
Thank you.
So? Think this version will finally do?
No, it won't.
What did you just saaaay~?!
What did you saaaay?!
Please rewrite everything from scratch.
What did you just say?
Rewrite it all.
All of it? The whole thing?
Yes, rewrite it. Please have the revision done by 3PM tomorrow.
W-W-W-Wait, Suzuki, Suzuki. How about this one? This one, over here.
I just started writing it, you know.
Not good.
What did you say?! La-la-la, what did you say?! La-la-la, what did you say?!
What did you say?!
You didn't even read it.
Hey, Suzuki, seriously. You didn't even read it, did you, Suzuki?
Sorry, got an errand from my boss.
Huh? You're leaving already?
I'll drop by again tomorrow.
W-w-wait, Suzuki, hey...
I got torn apart again...
But I don't hate her.
So you're the ninja everyone's talking about.
Are you the female ninja? A kunoichi?
What do you want with a Japanese ninja?
I don't know which group sent you,
but we shinobis aren't weak enough to be taken down by just one person.
Hey, Kato.
Testing the skills of your underlings?
Who knows.
It wasn't my call.
That was the boss's idea.
I don't think this is something for Hachiya to step into.
Depends on Suzuki.
He'd had been retraining, huh.
I screwed up.
I will never die.
What?
This way of moving, could he be...
I'll leave the rest to you.
Wait, you're okay letting someone else take the credit?
It sounds like a hassle, so I'm fine with it.
Seven points.
Four points.
Zero points.
I'm bored.
Way too bored.
You look bored.
Kumogakure Kuro.
Lately, even the lower-ranked ninjas are out of work.
There've been whispers about deserters too.
It's a pain, but we're the ones patrolling.
Deserters?
The ones who escape from NIN.
Let me make this clear.
No matter how many of you desert, our company won't suffer.
But there are regulations.
If you escape, consider yourself erased.
Of course.
Now, onto the mission.
A mission?!
Your stamp.
Oh, right.
Even a name like this has a family crest.
Yeah, it does.
Still...
The once-mighty Kumogakure clan has really fallen.
Um...
What exactly am I supposed to do?
This time, the target is
the Under Ninja.
Also known as UN.
A ninja faction that broke away from NIN.
They've been underground for over 70 years since the war.
We received intel that they've infiltrated Kodan High School.
That's the site of the old Nakano Army School branch, Egota Branch.
Why would they be in a place like that?
Figuring that out
is your mission, isn't it?
Oh, right.
But...
Infiltrating a high school? I'm 24, you know.
It'll be fine. Don't worry about it.
If you're stuck, look at the floor.
The floor?
What's that?
A flash attack?
N-No.
A toothpick just fell from the ceiling.
Oh, this thing?
Ten points.
Right?
I see.
So this makes me look like a ninja.
Switch.
What is this, a heated table?
Huh?
Whaaat?
Whoa, this is awesome.
I turned invisible.
Turn it off...
Then back on...
Kuro! Get the toilet paper for me!
But this thing...
Does it really need to just make the upper body invisible?
What's wrong?
Can you get me some toilet paper?
Uh...
Where is it again?
Where else? It's obviously in the bathroom!
What?
Then go get it yourself.
I can't! Not with how messed up this old apartment is.
What the hell is going on here?
Who puts the toilet paper that far away?!
She's totally drunk.
Oh, come in and I'll kill you if you peek.
That'd ruin you socially and politically.
That's insane.
But I'm a shinobi.
I make the impossible possible.
Then go ahead and open it.
Here you go.
Ah.
Don't look, you perv!
A peace offering.
Thanks.
Why is your room connected to the one next door?
Who knows.
It was already connected when I moved in.
Thanks to that, I don't even need a fridge.
Where do you sleep?
In the closet.
I sleep on the top shelf, Ono takes the bottom.
What is this, Doraemon?
How old are you anyway?
Just your average 17-year-old.
What do you mean "average"?
I thought you were way older.
You're underage!
And you're just casually drinking?!
Yeah, I guess so.
Well, I was drinking too, to be fair.
I got a job!
Tonight I celebrate!
Oh no...
Huh?
Thought someone was just here...
Never mind.
Ah, time to drink and celebrate!
Hey, Kumogakure.
You drank all the beer, didn't you?!
No. I didn't drink them though.
Look at all these empty cans.
See? It says "Ono" right there.
Ono is Kawado's stage name.
Her alias is a surname?
Her alias is literally a last name?
Don't just make stuff up.
I'm sorry.
Bye then.
Don't "bye then" me!
Listen.
You're the only one who can get into my fridge.
Huh?
"Huh?" What do you mean "huh"?!
That's amazing.
You just froze and went, "Huh?" with that blank face.
Like, "Huh? I didn't do anything."
Huh? That's impressive.
Huh?
Huh?
One more time?
Huh?
Why do you keep saying "huh"?
How are you so good at this?
How can you act clueless so confidently?
Why are you closing it?
Huh?
Huh?
Because the conversation's over.
What?
It's not over.
It's not over. It hasn't even started.
Oh, I see.
Why would you close it on me?
Huh?
Huh? Wow.
Why am I so good at making things awkward?
My pure heart is mad right now.
I, Ono, am seriously pissed, you know.
- Huh?
- Huh?
Don't "huh?" me.
I said don't "huh?" me.
I'm telling you, stop saying "huh?"
Why'd you drink all the beer?
Seriously, what am I supposed to do now?
Hey, hang on a second.
I was really looking forward to those beers.
I finally landed a job, you know.
Why would you ruin something I was excited for?
Hey...
- Huh?
- Huh?
Wow. Even your reset expression is next level.
- Huh?
- Huh?
I'm not giving up.
I'm already doing a white-out flake-out...
Huh?
Championship rules have been updated.
Huh?
Huh?
You win. You're the champion.
I lost.
- Huh?
- Huh?
That's weird.
The teacher should be waiting, though...
Wait, uh, wait, I can't get through here.
Hm?
You're in the way.
Huh? Me?
Who else would I be talking to?
Hey, isn't it hot wearing a hoodie over a blazer?
Yeah, it is.
Then just take it off?
Nope.
Ugh, your vibe is kinda annoying.
Wait, are you the new transfer student?
Hey, Noguchi, your test is starting.
Oh, you must be Kirigami from the transfer exam.
It's Kumogakure.
Kumogakure, right.
Wow, that's a rare name.
Nah, it ranks in the top ten most common surnames in Japan every year.
Seriously? I didn't know that.
You lie so smoothly.
Wait, that was a lie?
Of course it was. Obviously.
Sadly, we're just second this year.
Whoa, amazing!
It was a lie. You believing it is wild.
What's the most common one?
Sato.
Sato, huh!
You don't need to sound so disappointed.
Second has to be Suzuki or Tanaka, right?
You might be the weird one here.
What's your name?
Me? Noguchi Ayaka. Nice to meet you.
Noguchi, ranked 88th nationally.
That's mid.
Dude, you're creepy.
So it is mid!
If only I were born a Sato!
Why are you obsessed with ranking high?
You're just as weird.
Anyway, Noguchi, back to your seat.
Kumogakure, sit wherever you like.
Honestly, anywhere's fine.
Just roughly pick one.
Doesn't have to be a favorite or anything.
You're the type who cherishes the first encounter, huh.
I see...
Why are you looking so lost?
Could you sit down already?
Don't mind me.
I am minding you.
This is quite the eventful first meeting.
Can you just pick a seat already?
Then I'll sit here.
Okay.
Whoa, too close!
Why?
Wait... is he into me?
Hey, Noguchi.
Be sure to pass this time.
If you don't score well on this placement,
you might really have to repeat the year.
Your whole future's on the line.
Who knows anything about life at 17 or 18?
Alright, let's begin the test.
It's your choice to start with English, Math, or Japanese
so let me know when you're done.
Got it.
Just like he said, the answers are on the floor.
In shinobi codes.
Goshiki rice code.
This should work.
Alright, Noguchi, your placement test starts too.
Okaaay.
Multiple choice up to "A to D".
Each character is represented by two grains of Goshiki rice.
It matches the number of questions.
First, write down everything.
If there's time, make a few answers wrong on purpose.
Just enough to make it look natural.
Aaaah!
Gross!
What's wrong, Noguchi?
Bugs! Bugs!
Bugs?
Bugs?
There's something lined up underneath... it's disgusting.
Bugs' eggs?
Wait, aren't these just rice grains?
Ah, touch those and your skin cracks open.
What?!
In Japanese they're called "pseudo rice grains,"
a rare species with highly toxic eggs.
Rare species?
When you see them paired in twos like that,
it means the male and female hatch, then mate immediately,
for rapid reproduction, apparently.
Ew, that's unbelievably disgusting.
Is that even true?
The world is full of strange things.
The classroom isn't the whole world.
Maybe those bugs exist, maybe they don't.
Yeah... I don't really know.
But still, sounds like something to look into.
Noguchi, get the broom!
Roger!
Damn it.
Before the rice code is cleared, make the next move.
Oops, I dropped my eraser.
Aaah! Someone touched my butt!
A groper! Groper!
What?!
No, Noguchi, calm down.
We're not cut out for this.
But someone... someone touched it!
There's no way, we are too far.
That bought us a few dozen seconds.
Alright, Japanese is done.
Next is math.
You okay, Noguchi?
You're not hyperventilating, are you?
Deep breaths. Come on, deep breaths.
Oops, I stepped on the eggs.
Don't "oops" me!
Breathe in through your nose,
and out through your mouth.
Keep repeating it.
That's it.
You okay? Phew, thank god.
Let's clean that up.
I'm starting to spiral into resentment.
So English was a total wipeout.
I've got to salvage math no matter what.
Ninja art...
Water Style: Hidden Mist Technique.
Noguchi.
You calmed down?
Yeah.
But Sir, I don't feel like taking the test anymore.
Can we just make this a do-over with compensation?
Whoa, if you say that, you'll end up actually repeating the year.
Aah!
What now?
The floor!
The floor?
Aaah!
Teacher!
No, wait...
He already wet himself.
What's wrong, Kumogakure?
Huh?
Actually...
I've been extremely nervous since yesterday,
and couldn't stand how thirsty I was,
so I drank way too much water.
No,
but still, wetting yourself at your age...?
I mean, it's fine, but come on.
In this mental state,
I can't take the exam.
That's a problem.
Hey, what's going on?
Alright, let's do this.
I won't say a word about this.
And I'll tell Noguchi to keep quiet too.
Consider it forgotten, okay?
So just take the exam, okay?
Teacher, take him to the bathroom.
Huh? I have to do that?
I'll clean up here, don't worry.
Didn't expect her to be this decent.
Alright then,
Kumogakure, come on, let's go.
Come on, get up.
You can't stay like that forever. Kid, you had no choice.
Hey, you didn't complain out loud, did you?
Just checking, just checking.
Don't cry.
Huh?
You waited for me?
Yeah.
Okay then.
Let's walk part of the way together.
Huh?
That plastic bag...
Wait, don't tell me...
They're my used underwear.
Want it?
What the hell.
Then wanna stop by my place?
Huh?
"Then"? What do you mean "then"?
We haven't said a word since school, not one bit of conversation,
and now you drop that on me?
Huh?
What?
Don't "what" me.
Stuff like that you're supposed to build up to it.
Is that how it works?
That's how it works.
So, wanna come over?
Were you even listening?
I can't believe I actually came.
I forgot what I was even wearing today.
Huh?! That way?!
Should I come too?
Yup.
Aren't I heavy?
Very.
That's when you're supposed to say I'm not!
Wow.
But why are we on the roof?
Because if I skipped all the steps you'd hate going into a guy's room, right?
Not that I'd hate it or anything.
Honestly, being on the roof is weirder.
Well, I'll go grab something to drink.
Are beers okay?
Wait, beers?
Yeah. I'm fine, thanks.
I see.
You're still a student.
So are you.
He's such a weirdo.
You just casually drink, huh?
Well, the rooftop's dangerous, so
I don't usually drink up here.
That's not what I meant.
Oh.
You've got a booger on your face.
What? No way.
Hey, wait, wait.
Okay, okay...
You got it. It's off.
Why would I even have a booger on my face?
Don't worry about it.
Anyway,
what's the class I'm joining like?
What do you mean?
Number of groups and their hierarchy,
who's top and bottom in terms of status,
whether there's bullying,
and if there is, how the school handles it,
any romantic relationships in the class,
dirt or scandals I could use for leverage,
basically any gossip or intel.
What are you, a cop?
It's all just to make school life more comfortable so I'm gathering useful intel.
Where should I start?
Hmm...
Bullying.
Yeah, bullying happens.
Someone got caught filming proof of it,
then got bullied even more and stopped coming to school.
That's nasty.
His name's Eita, by the way.
We were in the same elementary and middle school.
Childhood friends, huh?
I wouldn't say we were that close, though.
But Eita wasn't totally innocent either.
He was secretly filming girls and stuff.
Yikes. Yeah, that's not okay.
Any school rumors?
Let me think... maybe something.
Like school legends or mysteries?
Oh yeah, there's one.
Our school used to be
some kind of military facility, apparently.
There's an entrance in the back woods that goes underground.
Some student who went in as a joke supposedly disappeared.
Underground, huh.
Maybe the old army school hid something down there.
Also, our school director is terrifying.
Director?
You don't know?
The person who does all sorts of stuff around school.
I see.
The director...
The one who probably knows everything happening at school.
So maybe he's the Under Ninja.
Might have to face him eventually.
I think I'll head home now.
Ah, sorry.
And thanks.
No worries. You've still got beer, right?
I can climb down on my own.
Be careful, alright?
Fifth tile from the front, tenth from the bottom is fragile.
Wait, what?! Where even is that?!
Hey, come on!
Hm?
What is this?
It has a built-in airbag?
If this gear gets exposed, I'm in trouble.
She passed out with the wildest look on her face.
Thank goodness.
Maybe I'll carry her to her home.
Yeah. Not bad.
Welcome back.
Hm? What's wrong?
Huh? What do you mean?
What about you anyway?
Nothing's going on with me.
Except that you're obviously shaken, Mr. Ono.
I'm not. What are you talking about?
You are so rattled.
You got back kind of quick.
Not really.
Oh, right, right.
So Mr. Ono, why are you wearing Kawado's bra?
Ah! Wah! He knows.
Please, do tell over a drink.
That was about two weeks ago, I think.
When I got fired from my last job and came back to this apartment.
Outside my place, there was a bra just... floating midair.
I was totally stunned.
So I ran up the stairs and jumped at the bra.
And just as I caught it,
I felt this weird gaze from below.
I was like, "Oh no, this is bad..."
Creeped out, but I looked down anyway.
And there he was.
Between the apartment and the wall...
A kid's face jammed in the gap, eyes wide open, just staring at me like a ghost.
Oh, that's probably a drone being piloted by
a local middle schooler who just discovered puberty.
He's been spying on Kawado's room for a while.
Looks like he finally went for the underwear.
A middle schooler? You knew about this?!
If you knew, you should've told Kawado!
But setting that aside, I'm still waiting to hear why you're wearing the bra.
Whatever, never mind.
Hormones or not, voyeurism and theft are unacceptable.
I guess it's time to teach him a lesson.
This immobilizer gun really packs a punch.
Wh-Where am I?
Could it be I'm in that lady's room?!
Oh, he's awake.
Hey now, you just sighed, right?
That sigh was at me, right?
"Oh no, it's not the lady's room," huh?
"Ugh, it's this dude? What a letdown. Sigh."
Don't just sigh, okay?
Look, we dragged your unconscious body here. Some gratitude would be nice.
I'll keep silent.
What?
We haven't even questioned you yet, why are you staring like that?
That stare is basically a confession.
Tch.
I heard you clicking your tongue.
What's your name?
I'm Eita.
Eita? You're childhood friends with Noguchi?
What?! You know Noguchi?!
I transferred to Kodan High.
I heard you're being bullied.
Yeah... I am.
Are you not going to school anymore?
If I go, those guys will bully me again.
I can protect you, if you want.
Really?! You mean it?!
Yep. Let's go on Monday.
Please don't just decide that on your own.
Hey, Ono. Here, returning what I owe from before.
Huh? Just one? What about that?
This one's for me. Let me off the hook, okay?
What?!
So... who's this kid?
Y-You're so cute!
Oh, sorry.
Uh, and he is...
He found a bra and kindly brought it back.
Oh, really? Thank you.
Uh, no problem.
This is the one the old lady next door dried here because her place gets no sun.
So it wasn't your bra then?
Of course not! I hate bras like that!
Are you both alright?
Oh wow, those pickled eggplants look tasty!
Saruta.
As a rogue ninja, you have only one path left.
To pledge yourself to us, UN.
That's not gonna happen.
I didn't run away just to survive.
The idea of dying without giving it my all...
...is something I can't stand.
If you let me fight, I don't care which side I'm on.
I just want to be in a battlefield.
A unit where I can fight and die!
Very well. You pass.
I'll assign you to a special unit.
Kill and kill and kill and kill.
I'll keep killing till I drop dead.
I am Yoshida Akikazu. A historical novelist.
I've been writing for 20 years.
Since nothing ever sells, I now write pulp fiction.
Specifically, alternate history sci-fi to stay afloat.
I'll sleep for now.
Please, come by tonight.
When I sleep, I leave my doors and windows unlocked.
Then put on an eye mask and lie to bed.
Just like I did many years ago, back then...
Wake up.
Ssshh....
Close your eyes.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Ever since that ninja sat at my bedside, I've kept that habit.
December 18, 1996.
Do you know about the Zaiperon Japanese Ambassador Hostage Election Incident?
Of course. Absolutely.
Back then,
seven of us fought against 200 special forces soldiers from the Republic of Peron
myself included, all shinobis.
Really? Oh my.
That ninja told me a hidden truth.
Probably the reason he spoke to me, a novelist,
was because he wanted the story to be shared with the world.
That's what I realized.
At the time, I was broke. No electricity, gas, or water.
Even knowing the risks, I wrote a novel and managed to get it published.
"Seven Ninjas: Retrieve the Ambassador" sold reasonably well, but...
Readers thought it was fiction and didn't take it seriously.
But somehow, that book reached the ninjas.
After that, they came often to tell me of their secret missions buried in history.
Recently, that serial killer case got solved, right?
The one who caught him was me.
That was a ninja too?
Remember the Air Max sneaker muggings?
That was actually us who escalated it into real action.
Brings back memories.
Nin nin, nin nin, nin nin, nin nin, nin nin.
Nin, nin.
Years passed as ninjas started revealing themselves, and then one day...
A certain woman appeared at my bedside.
Wake up.
So you're the one writing all the shinobis' nonsense into books.
"Shinobis"?
Wait. So she's not one of them?
I will eradicate all the shinobis on the surface.
She's going to destroy the ninjas?
Why?
Most ninjas spoke only of the past.
But she alone left me with a story of the future.
Kuro, are you really going to protect me?
Sure, for 500 yen per session.
So you're gonna charge me.
I thought we were friends.
It's business.
So it's like that, huh.
Hey, school's that way.
This way's closer.
What?
Where is he going?
Kuro?
How do you know where I live?
I gave you a piggyback, remember?
What?!
Even Eita's here.
Huh?
Are you two... like, together?
What do you mean, "together"?
No way! Are you stupid?
What are you talking about?
Whoa, you're blushing!
Hm? So what do you mean that?
Kuro, you're really dense!
Come on, let's go.
Kuro, did you really give her a piggyback ride?
Yeah.
Giving a piggyback ride is already an A-level move!
No, maybe even B-level. Actually, C, maybe?
So you're going back to school.
Ah, yeah.
Because Kuro said he'd protect me.
Huh? Seriously?
Don't go sneaking into the girls' bathroom again.
I told you, that was a misunderstanding!
There was a bug planted in there!
And when I reported it to the teacher, somehow...
You shouldn't be entering the girls' bathroom at all.
Well, I mean...
A bug, huh.
I need to be careful what I say in school.
- I just wanted to protect everyone.
Gross.
Come in.
This is Kumogakure Kuro, joining our class today.
Eita, you're not a transfer student.
Why are you pretending to be?
He never shows up, so he totally forgot.
While we're at it, introduce yourself too.
Quiet down.
Both of you, sit down.
This path's closed. No passing through here.
Go out of the room and come in through the back door.
What?
Step over my foot and you're dead.
Ow!
Teacher, Eita stepped on my foot!
No, my foot moved on its own. It wasn't on purpose.
Enough already.
Just sit down.
Alright, let's start the lesson.
Picking up where we left off. Open your books.
Do you have a textbook?
Hm?
Uh, no. I don't.
You can use mine if you want.
Oh, thanks.
What's your name?
Sato.
S-Sato!
Huh? What?
It's an honor to sit next to the reigning champion.
Champion?
What's that?
A teddy bear?
Hey, Kumogakure.
Class just started, you know. Where are you going?
Hey!
Hey.
Man, I lost all motivation now.
Whatever, let's just self-study today.
Alright!
Who are you?
I'm Hachiya Shion.
You should get punished.
Get punished.
Ah, nice to meet you.
I thought solo ops were the rule.
Looks like multiple lower ninja have infiltrated.
Ah, I was at that recent ninja hunting capture too.
I did sense one more person.
I was supposed to deliver the final blow.
Thanks to you, I was embarrassed.
Should we really be talking here?
We're being watched.
By the director, huh?
I see.
So that's him.
321 yen.
So he really is a shinobi and used Junpuji arts.
But why make it so obvious to us?
Is he telling us to come to him?
Where is the director usually stationed?
Let's see...
You infiltrated first. You should've figured that out.
- Ah!
What is it?
It's your friend.
Hmm?
Eita.
Sorry to ask, but can you help me carry these boxes?
Y-Yamada!
It's kinda heavy.
Yamada Mizuki.
The prettiest girl in our year, cheerful, and mature.
Liked by everyone, ruling the social hierarchy at school.
Someone way too dazzling for a bottom-feeder like me.
Eita. You listening?
So cute!
Yes!
Gladly!
I'll carry them! With pleasure!
Excuse me!
It's heavy.
Yamada, Yamada, Yamada.
What the hell is he doing?
Wait, hold on.
Huh, Kumogakure?
Crap, he noticed me.
Oh!
It's you, Eita. What are you doing over here?
Huh? It's you, who said he should come, Azuma.
Good luck, Eita~!
No way. She's adorable.
Well, we've got some guy talk to handle. You can go now.
Okay. I'll just drift off then.
Bye-bye!
Y-Yamada! So fast!
Y-Yamada! Don't leave me! So fast!
S-So cute!
So fast and cute!
Y-Yamada!
Eita, you just fell for the most obvious trap ever.
Are you stupid or what?
Lately on social media, I've been getting anonymous hate messages.
Know anything about that?
N-No...
You showed up during class time, right?
We were in the middle of a short test.
So that clears everyone in our class.
The only one without an alibi...
...is you, Eita, since you were absent.
Right, Noheji?
Yeah.
I was just playing games at home all day.
You're the one who sent them, right?
No! No! I swear it wasn't me!
Huh?
Who the hell are you?
What? What's going on?
Kuro.
Did you come to save me?
I wonder who's hiding in there.
Take this!
Ow...
It doesn't budge!
Hey! Quit hiding and show yourself!
Ow! Ow! Oww!!!
What was that?
Bastard! You're messing with us?!
Wait, why am I in front?
Make your right hand a fist, then left hand open.
Huh?
Okay, relax your arms.
Take this!
That hurt!
Ow! Ow! Oww!!!
Whoa! You're invisible! How?!
It's all yours now.
Finish them off if you want, or do whatever.
- What?
- You're the one who beat them.
Huh? Even if you say that...
Send the payment to my account.
Where am I sending it?
Kumogakure Kuro...
You're crazy strong.
I wanna tell someone.
Ah, it's the plain girl from class.
It's the flashy girl from class.
What are you doing?
Uh, nothing. Just taking pictures outside.
Outside?
Ah, never mind.
Sorry.
Wait. Don't take a picture of me.
Oh yeah, you were talking to Kuro earlier in class, right?
Yeah, he suddenly asked for my last name,
and when I said Sato, he kept calling me "Champion, Champion."
Kumogakure's kind of weird, isn't he?
Yeah, he's definitely weird.
Do you like him or something?
Huh?! What?! Huh?!
As if I like him or something! What do you mean?!
Well, I'm just asking.
I told you, don't take a picture of me.
Don't tell me you're the one who likes him.
I mean, I do kinda like the brooding type.
Whoa, so you do like him!
I didn't say I liked him.
I've already been to his place.
His place?
Yeah, I've been there already,
so I'm ahead of you.
You don't need to brag about it.
Hey.
Speak of the devil, there's Kuro.
What are you doing here?
Where can I find the director?
What? I'm not sure.
Isn't the director usually in the boiler room?
Yeah, he's usually in the boiler room.
Okay.
Huh? He's gone.
Actually, I was the one who said he's in the boiler room.
I'm telling you, I don't like him!
I'm not asking.
Hey! I said, don't take pictures of me!
So he's here.
You just waltz right into enemy HQ, huh?
You were the one who signaled me, weren't you?
I thought you'd show up a bit later.
I can come back if you prefer.
Nah, stay a while. Have some tea.
Why did you sneak in?
That's what I should be asking you.
Just so you know,
your fancy invisibility tricks don't work on me.
Looks like the latest armor from NIN isn't just for show.
It doesn't just make the user invisible, it also boosts combat capability by a lot.
That just sounds sarcastic.
Your side's weapons are way more advanced.
Your side?
Let me make it clear, I'm not with UN.
I'm just a lowly banned ninja.
Banned ninja?
Anyone who defiles this sacred ground must be eliminated.
Don't even try it.
Ton has already locked on to you.
The next hit will vaporize your arm.
Ton.
That's a nostalgic name.
The final weapon of NIN, and
a satellite storing the personal data of roughly 200,000 people.
I'm honored being tracked by something like that.
Want to give it a try?
If someone low-ranked like you got permission to use Ton,
it would mean another war is about to start.
The lid to hell's scythe
just opened, Kuro.
I didn't think Ton will be used.
It went for the kill.
Huh?
Wasn't she the girl from earlier?
Hey, you.
What are you doing here?
Looks like I would be able to sleep well tonight.
Oh? Oh?
Pull the black strands,
pull them, and send them to the heavens.
Once it reaches...
Go back to the depths~
Ah, Sir Yoshida. Let me check your manuscript.
Suzuki, what's wrong?!
What are you wearing, Sir?! What is even our relationship?
Wait, what is going on? What's going on here?!
This is too soon, don't you think?
No, it's not about "too soon."
That's not what this is, Suzuki. Why are you even here?
This is my house!
Get dressed already!
Wait, why am I the one getting scolded? I was just taking a normal bath.
First of all, Suzuki, how did you even get in here?
I came to get the manuscript.
The door was open.
Huh? I'm sure I locked the door.
Thanks for your visit. Please come again.
A cheap trick like that won't be enough to finish me off.
I could see everything earlier, you know.
There are multiple enemies.
But I sense only one presence.
Whoa.
Impressive.
A seasoned shinobi like you carries out the mission right to the bitter end.
The voices from both sides weren't hallucinations,
the voice was coming from the speaker inside the shuriken.
Hey, hey, granny, don't spoil it for me.
Seniors, I'll be going ahead.
Thanks for having me.
I rejected most of his drafts again today.
But that means I get to see him again tomorrow.
There's an attack at a convenience store.
One shinobi was killed.
It was our instructor.
I honestly thought that old lady couldn't die.
Full invisibility?
That would mean UN launched the attack.
If they were targeting a kunoichi,
then there was likely another one right outside the store.
If the kunoichi was walking alone at night...
Bingo!
I really can't see him.
Even their presence is completely erased.
It's nothing like our downgraded domestic models.
Sir Yoshida, I might actually die.
Excuse me, is something wrong?
Get out of here now!
Huh? Why?
Don't lay a finger on civilians!
What's your objective?
Wait, is that you, Suzuki?
Suzuki, um...
Would you, I mean... me...
Um...
Like...
Would you go out with...?
I'm so sorry!!
This is not where you're meant to die.
It's at Kodan High School.
Are you okay?
Y-Yes.
The place where I'm fated to die... is Kodan High School.
It's been a day since driving off the bullies.
The world feels totally different.
Azuma is absent,
and now the rumor is I beat those two up.
This might be a total life comeback.
I might even get popular!
Maybe then I can be with my crush, Yamada!
Is she picking her nose?
Wait, is she picking her nose?
I can't believe my crush Yamada is picking her nose!
Her index finger is even shoved in to her nose!
Oh no! Oh no! Aaah!
Ow!
Can you come with me for a sec?
This is definitely payback for yesterday.
Eita.
Y-Yeah?
I beg you!
That transfer student, no...
Can you bring me Sir Kuro?!
Huh?
I've never seen anyone as strong as Sir Kuro!
Let me meet Sir Kuro!
Whoa, it's not like I can just...
What?
Whoa! He's here!
Sir Kuro!
You who knocked me out in a second! Please, I've got a favor!
No way, Kuro's in an exclusive contract with me.
- Let's hear it.
- You're actually gonna listen?!
Why are you even humoring this guy?
Because his last name is rare.
His name?
Noheji.
Its national surname ranking is 1961st.
It's said there are only around 620 people with that name.
He's one of them.
And?
I've got a thing for rare last names.
What kind of weird thing is that?
Excuse me!
My dad got me into stuff like Gorillaman and Bebop.
Is that your dad's last name too?
Uh, yeah.
Of course it is.
Anyway, as you can probably tell, I used to idolize punks.
But as you know, delinquents are basically endangered now.
Getting into fights with other schools is a long-lost dream.
So, with no other choice, I pick on the weak ones.
It's an empty life.
If it feels empty, stop bullying.
Huh?!
Sorry!
And?
There's a rumor that a legendary delinquent lives under our high school.
A delinquent underground?
A legend said to have conquered every school in this area.
Even now, when punk culture has all but died out,
supposedly, he's been training underground to stick to his own way of life.
That's a bit too much dedication to "his path," huh.
I don't know if it's true or not, though.
That's why I want to see it with my own eyes.
The legendary delinquent, Saemonsaburo.
Saemonsaburo?!
Huh? What? Wait, what? SaSaemon?
Saemonsaburo!
Is he from the Edo period or something?
No, you idiot!
Idiot?
It's said there are only about ten people in the whole country with that surname.
Surname?
Wait, you mean it's not "Mr. Saburou of the Saemon family"?
No, Saemonsaburo is one full last name.
That's so complicated.
What's his given name?
Ryosuke.
Oh, that part's actually normal.
That contrast is kind of hot.
Wait, you can be into name contrasts now?
His partner's name is Chousokabe.
Chousokabe.
That's rare.
Huh? You didn't make that up? What's his given name?
Kazuki.
That's another contrast! I love it!
Whoa, you're really into this.
And the rival punk that led the gang at the next school over is...
Kitaoji.
That's rare.
So super rare!
Now that you mention it, I've only ever heard it in Kinya.
Enough with the surname talk already!
As Kodan High's representative delinquent,
I want to challenge Saemonsaburo to a fight!
So, um, I was hoping you could back me up.
You're scared to go alone, aren't you?
Huh?!
Sorry.
But you're actually going through with it?
That name just made the whole story even less believable.
Who did you hear this?
I don't know who said it,
but I heard it from Yamada.
Yamada.
Y-Yamada said that?
That girl, huh.
Yeah.
I'm counting on you, Sir Kuro.
Well, I doubt Kuro would go along with something that dumb...
Sure.
Thank you!
Why?!
It's not every day you get the chance to meet Saemonsaburo!
I mean, yeah, he's rare, but still!
Thank you so much!
Hey!
I'm counting on you, Sir!
Anyone who asks like that is never normal! Not a single one!
Count on me!
You too?!
Why did you go along with that nonsense?
It's fine.
I have my own plan.
Plan?
What kind of plan?
I've got a small lead, that's all.
Okay.
You heard what happened last night?
Yes. The convenience store was attacked.
The assailant was completely invisible.
Complete invisibility is banned in Japan due to a secret agreement with the police.
Most likely, it was UN's doing.
Tomorrow, you and Hachiya, along with Suzuki, are being sent to Kodan High.
The upper ranks might already know what UN is planning.
By the way, Mr. Kato.
Did you see the news about the satellite?
And now, our next news story.
A rocket was launched without its intended miniature satellite, it turns out.
It was launched from the International Space Center.
Sounds like one of those "can't be real" stories!
Seriously!
Maybe it's not real!
They sure get along well like usual.
You liar!
When am I ever gonna meet someone decent?
Then I'll seat here.
You waited for me.
Yeah.
Wanna come by my place?
Why am I so bothered about him all of a sudden?
No, no way. Definitely not.
I'm going to sleep.
Ssshh!
Calm down. It's me.
Be quiet. I'm saying it's me.
Kuro? Why are you in my room?
Well, don't worry about it.
Of course I should! If the school finds out, we'll get expelled!
It's fine. The school's going to disappear anyway.
What?
Noguchi, don't go to school tomorrow.
That's all.
Wait, wait. Hold on a sec. That makes no sense.
What do you mean the school's going to disappear?
Hmm, it might get blown or something.
What? Want some tea before you go?
No, I'm good. I'm sleepy.
Seriously? So what are you doing tomorrow, Kuro?
I'm going.
Huh? That's dangerous.
What? You worried about me?
What? No. Not really.
Before you worry about others, you've got a booger on your face.
Ugh, gross.
It's not coming off. It won't come off.
Still... still not coming off.
Got it. It's off. It's off.
Ugh, why do I always get a booger on my face?
Don't sweat it. Later.
Ah, hey...
Damn that Eita.
Think you can hurt me and get away with it?
I'm gonna start bullying you all over again.
Huh? Why can I see my body?
Huh? It just left me!
Man, slicing people up is so fun.
Now then, think I can chop off 100 heads today?
You looking for something?
I can't find Kuro anywhere.
Kumogakure, huh? Got something urgent?
He told me not to come to school today...
But I got worried and came anyway.
You shouldn't go to school?
He said the school's gonna be gone or something.
So this place is becoming a battlefield again.
Hey, if you find Kumogakure,
can you give this to him?
A ring?
Yes, a ring.
Wait, doesn't me giving it to him seem kind of too much?
How so?
I mean like...
You should just give it to him yourself.
I've got other things I need to take care of. I'm counting on you.
Hey, UN has arrived.
They killed a male student in the suburbs, and infiltrated the school grounds.
If you can pinpoint the target's location,
Ton can launch an ultra-precise strike.
- Roger.
- Roger.
What the hell is Kumogakure doing at a time like this?
Is there seriously an entrance to the underground in a place like this?
Okay, what is that?
Huh?
Whoa, there is one.
Alright, let's go.
Um...
This is kind of hard to say, but...
Actually,
can you guys go without me?
What?!
You're the one who said you wanted to go!
I didn't think it would really be here!
Whaaaat?!
I'm legit about to pee myself from how scared I am.
Actually, I already kinda...
...peed a little.
So for now, you two go see what kind of person he is,
and I'll come later.
You coward!
That's the worst excuse I've ever heard!
It's fine.
It is?!
Eita, you don't have to come either.
What?! Why not?! We came all this way!
I'll be the only one who becomes a legend.
Wait, what?
Hold on.
- Thank goodness...
- Thank goodness...
What did you say?!
Sorry...
Azuma!
I told you that if you're late again, you're really gonna be in trouble.
Wait, your head's gone.
What?
What's happening?
What?
What?
Sneaking lunch in the bathroom, huh?
What a weirdo.
I'll let you live.
Huh?
Just now, there's been a report of an intruder on campus.
That's the information we've received.
As a precaution,
all students and faculty,
please proceed to the courtyard.
That's exactly what the enemy wants.
They'll all be wiped out in one go.
Please do.
Please stay calm,
and try not to panic.
We ask for your cooperation.
Just like in the evacuation drills,
begin moving...
begin movi...
begin moving...
Huh?
What happened to the speaker?
We'll stabilize the entire school.
The intruder report was a false information.
Do not move and remain in your classrooms.
Leave it to NIN.
UN has moved to another tower.
If you want to cooperate, I'm by the board eraser cleaner.
From that spot, we can talk in real time.
So the Junpuji user has linked up with NIN, huh?
That's how it is.
Neither of us has any other option.
Your ability to track within the school is limited.
The enemy knows that very well.
Let me ask you something.
You live on the surface as a defector, someone who left the shadows.
That makes you an extremely rare case.
You've been here for 20 years. Why?
Watching these kids grow became my reason to live.
But maybe that's not a real answer to you?
Hey! Go back to your classrooms!
Come on now, you head back too.
So the time has finally come, Suzuki.
How do you know my name?
It's me.
Back in school, you messed with me all the time, it's Saruta.
Saruta?
Oh, I think there was someone like that.
Don't you dare look down on me.
I knew it, I still can't cut you.
Don't try to act cool.
Huh?
Was I actually cool?
Director Kato.
Suzuki.
I didn't think someone from the upper ranked ninja like you
would come all the way here for me. I'm honestly touched.
Shut up.
Dammit.
But did I get all the data we needed?
Ah, Eita! Have you seen Kuro?
If you're looking for Kuro, he went to the basement behind the school building.
Basement?
Yeah. I'm not totally sure, but there's an entrance in the woods behind the building.
Huh? Didn't that entrance suddenly appear?
Yeah. It was definitely there.
But more importantly, let's go back to class.
Eita, go on ahead.
Huh?
Eita.
Y-Yes?
Can you come here a sec?
M-Me?
Uh, okay.
I tore my Achilles tendon.
Sorry, but can you give me a hand?
She can't walk.
But we have to get back to class.
Please. She saved my life.
I knew it was you.
You're an Under Ninja.
Correct!
Stop hiding and fight already.
One of the Seven Blades, the grandson of Tara.
Hachiya Shion!
My real target is you.
I know.
You're a real contender for next-gen leader.
Never thought a washed-up lower ranked ninja like me
would end up facing someone so high-ranking.
Life really is full of surprises.
But your life is about to end.
Ton has you locked on.
You're bluffing. Like they'd fire at their own grandson.
You should know NIN's threshold protocols better than anyone.
Hachiya
Laser cannon, prepared for depletion mode.
Wait. At this rate, Hachiya's going to get caught in the crossfire.
Laser target lost, Ton's laser cannon has automatically shut down.
What's your real target?
Who knows, take a guess.
Of course you won't tell me.
Fine. Let's start with bare hands.
Sure.
Guess you respond better to a fight.
You flail around kinda cutely.
Looks like you're not someone I can beat with tricks.
I'll treat this like sparring with a master.
A woman's chest isn't something you borrow.
It's given with love, something sacred.
That's not what I meant.
Looks like you're here safely.
There's a door behind the stage. Go there.
Oh, and this fire extinguisher is a radio. Take it with you.
The fire extinguisher just talked.
They've got this kind of thing in school now?
That's creepy.
Still, it saved us this time.
Hey, carry the extinguisher.
At a time like this? Seriously?
Hurry.
Uh, how exactly?
Ah, it opened.
There's a space like this below the stage?
Looks like it goes on forever.
Even underground, if there's a satellite strike, you'll get caught in it.
Keep going deeper.
A satellite strike?
Is something that dangerous happening on the surface right now?
You're better off not knowing.
This extinguisher's heavy.
Seriously, it's heavy.
Let's move.
I didn't know fire extinguishers were this heavy.
Just realizing now how heavy they are.
It sure is heavy!
What is this place?
It's the exit of the Under Ninja underground tunnel.
And also the remains of a secret factory.
Impressive of you to know.
Where's the exit?
Look over there, see that side tunnel?
It's filled with concrete now, but it used to go on forever.
Rumor has it some tunnels even reached Nagano.
What?
Ah, let's take a short break.
Oh, okay.
Well, since several tunnels like this connected here, we call it an exit.
Um, what kind of secret factory was it?
A counterfeit money factory.
In the 1980s,
while everyone on the surface was partying during the bubble era,
these guys were busy printing fake bills underground.
Thanks to that, Japan's economy stayed stagnant after the bubble burst.
Meanwhile, the UN got their hands on massive funding.
We also lost a lot of people.
When the NIN finally discovered this underground site,
the conflict escalated rapidly.
That was back before Ton even existed.
Every side tunnel was blown up, trapping people alive.
Even the women and children working there were mercilessly slaughtered.
You talk like you saw it yourself.
I did see it. With my own eyes.
I see. Now I understand why you're here.
I was the sole survivor,
left in a gray zone between the government, NIN, and UN,
kept alive to be a gravekeeper.
I never wanted this place to become a battlefield again.
Are you okay?
Get up and let's do it again.
Even fools know it's too much now.
What? Really?
You giving up already?
You could use Ton if you want.
If that's the case you're already a target.
Huh? Why?
Because Ton is what you're really after.
Sadly, UN's tech is far ahead of NIN's.
If their suits function like space suits,
they could even operate in outer space.
Don't tell me... they sent Ton with that rocket?
Exactly.
A female student's been snooping around about me.
She was right there when Ton was used flying over old man Junpuji.
I bet she was confirming Ton's coordinates for UN.
She probably lured me and Hachiya to Kodan High to make us use Ton.
When Ton was dropped on old man Junpuji, they must've locked in its coordinates.
Who knows.
Are you planning to hijack Ton?
You ask too many questions.
Clingy guys aren't popular, you know.
Ah, here it comes.
What the heck is that?
Your weapons have evolved way too far.
If I used a sword, the fight would be over in a flash.
You're seriously going all-out.
UN's target is Ton?
During contact with Saruta earlier,
it was clearly identified as a space-grade assembly.
Ozu, alert the Earth surface team.
If not, they'll lose NIN's data and control over a hundred thousand people.
Found you.
What?
Too bad!
How about that?!
You saved me.
Let's get out of here, Hachiya.
What about Kuro?
He'll be fine for sure.
Ah, Kuro.
Noguchi.
Yamada?
What are you doing here?
The director said to give this to you.
What's that?
I can wait for you if you want.
Fighting junk like that isn't fun anyway.
If we're gonna do this, let's fight properly.
Okay?
What's up with Yamada? What's going on?
Uh, what is even happening right now? What are you doing?
What?
Just wait a little longer.
Huh?
So that was my drone?
Maybe that's all you're really capable of.
Want to test your skills?
My apologies for the interruption.
Analysis shows UN suits are assumed to function like space suits.
UN's goal is Ton.
Worst-case scenario: they seize Ton's internal data and control.
We should consider activating Ton's self-destruct protocol.
Has UN's presence been confirmed?
No confirmation yet.
Reporting this could affect strategic resources. Are you prepared for that?
Once they've breached us, it's too late.
We can't protect the personal data of 200,000 NIN members.
What's your decision?
So I'm going to get killed if I do that?
That won't work either, huh?
You tried to turn invisible, didn't you?
It's pointless.
At this point, maybe the only way is to rush in and take us both down.
Want me to tell you the answer?
Personal data isn't our only target.
We're here to destroy Kodan High.
I knew it.
Time to erase this pointless history.
And start a new kind of war.
Kuro!
Let's run, Noguchi. Staying here is too dangerous.
Ton detected an emergency entrance breach and lock release.
They've hijacked control of the laser cannon.
No way! What are they planning with our own laser cannon?
Laser cannon charging at maximum output.
Maximum output?!
Your decision, sirs?
Self-destruct Ton now.
From here on out, even greater chaos begins.
Ton has been activated.
What was that just now?
Kuro, hang in there.
Noguchi, I'm sorry...
Getting out is no longer an option.
What?
Aren't we going to be saved?
Wear this.
Your hoodie?
It's no ordinary hoodie.
It may not look it, but it has an airbag.
But what about you?
I'll be fine.
No, you're clearly not fine!
I told you, I'll be fine.
Don't worry about me.
I don't...
I don't want that.
By the way...
You've got booger on your face.
Kuro, no... Hey...
No! Kuro!
Kuro...
Kuro!
This afternoon, a massive explosion occurred at a high school in Nerima Ward.
The school building was completely destroyed,
and rescue teams are searching for missing students and teachers.
I'm so glad you're safe, Ayaka.
It's a real miracle, a true miracle.
Yeah, a miracle.
I'm glad she's okay, Mom.
Cheers for Kumogakure.
There is no one found in the school that is suspected who caused it.
It happens again. This is because of the ninjas.
Kuro?
No.
I'm Kumogakure Juro.
You hearin' me? Me. You seein' me? Me.
You alive? Me. You dead? Me.
Hurts like hell, me. In a foul mood.
Sorry, not sorry. Me. Far from human.
Vanished, me. Scattered, me.
Fresh as hell, me. Old-school vintage, me.
You know me? Me. So damn loud, me.
Too damn much, me. Back the hell off, yeah, yeah.
Mad unstable mental, eyes like a crazy babe, brain insane.
All these cocky rivals turned pale and ghosted, blood-red eyes froze like dots.
Where'd I even come from? Where the hell am I headed? Hasta la vista (Ayy)
We look alike (Ayy)
I'm your damn doppelgnger (Ayy)
Workin' like crazy, don't even stop to eat, chasin' that paper, go for it.
Haters only got twisted views, I'm comin' right at you,
Double-slap to the face (Ayy)
Smackin' you all the way to Andromeda (Ayy)
Already faded away (Fade away)
I'm your damn doppelgnger (Ayy)
I'm the embodiment of your pain (Ayy)
I'm the embodiment of your rage (Ayy)
The filthy soul itself, right here (Ayy)
Blame it all on me, fine by me (Ayy)
I'll say "yes" hands down (Ayy), now go look in the mirror.
Out there, everyone's wearin' red-and-white caps all day, playin' kiddie games like Red Rover.
Those guys? Still stuck bein' just human. (Stop)
Hmm... Everyone wants to think they're one-of-a-kind (Uh-huh)
But in the end, you're just Mr. Nobody.
Hey, you're everybody (Ayy) You're also nobody (Ayy)
A fresh new life? I'll take it. (I'll take it)
Met before, haven't we? (Haven't we?)
Always passin' each other by (By)
We already switched places ages ago (Switched)
It's been forever now (Been forever)
Lock eyes and you're dead (Dead)
Just kiddin', I charge straight ahead (Ahead)
One, two, three people (Three)
Here's your escape route (Here)
Armor, masks, costumes, fighter jets too
Stand-in, reincarnation, whatever, as long as the endorphins hit.
I'm the front, you're the back,
I'm the front, you're the back,
Doesn't matter either way (Ayy)
We can switch up anytime (Ayy)
Wanna make some noise?
Mad unstable mental, eyes like a crazy babe, brain insane.
All these cocky rivals turned pale and ghosted, blood-red eyes froze like dots.
Where'd I even come from? Where the hell am I headed? Hasta la vista (Ayy)
We look alike (Ayy)
I'm your damn doppelgnger (Ayy)
Workin' like crazy, don't even stop to eat, chasin' that paper, go for it.
Haters only got twisted views, I'm comin' right at you,

Ayy, been called a lotta names since way back,
But always carried the shrine with one face.
Tough enough to survive, never gave up,
Now I've got more ways to hustle.
Middle fingers up, I sneak in silent,
Next thing you know, everything's soaked in blood, ha.
But it's my own verses that cut deep,
Keepin' the life cycle spinnin' again.
Feelin' that power surge, whoa!
Flyin' through the night like that guy,
By day, I'm daddy throwin' jabs, one, two,
Suit up and I'm already on the way to pick you up.
TV guy, meme guy, crossed the sea, worldwide.
Quietly standin' behind you, blendin' in with the crowd, no one really knows this guy.
I'm bored.
Way too bored.
