A Ninja and an Assassin Meet
Leaf 1
Now, today's lunchtime tune
is "One-Sided Karaage Love,"
Requested by Yamaguchi
Akane-san from Class 1-B.
Guess I'll go home.
Koga-san? Do you feel unwell again today?
Well, you could say that.
Later.
Take care.
Oh.
A dead ninja.
Please wait!
Are you really going to
just kick me and leave?!
I beg you
Could you please give me something to eat?
Um, what do you expect me to do?
I don't have any food on me,
nor any reason to give you some.
You just kicked me, though!
Oh I feel faint after yelling
Um Is this my fault?
Tadoya
Health
Heart
Thank you for waiting.
Here's your chicken nanban karaage plate.
Huh? Where am I?
Whoa. This is
Can I e-eat this?
Time to eat.
Huh?
Huh? Hey.
You dead?
What is this? Torture?
This has to be torture.
I've been trained in dealing
with torture, you know!
Whoa. You're suddenly using ninja-ish terms.
Here.
Huh?
This place has free refills on rice and soup,
so eat as much as you want.
Refills are usually provided solely for those who ordered.
Really?!
Thank you so much for helping me today!
My name is Kusagakure Satoko.
May I ask what your name is?
Konoha.
Konoha-san! What a lovely name.
You're my savior, Konoha-san!
Uh-huh.
By the way, why was a ninja like you
passed out on the side of the street?
Well, you see
Ninja Village
All we do is train every day
deep in these mountains!
Don't you want to know
about the outside world?!
Ninja Killing
Yeah!
Don't you want to live a normal life?!
Yeah!
Yeah! Don't you agree, Satoko?
It sounds lovely.
All right! We leave tonight!
Huh?
We finally made it to the city!
Hold on—
Our trackers are still on our tail!
Are we the only survivors?!
Um
Damn it!
All because I led you all to listen to me
Don't lose hope!
I'm sure everyone's resolve when
deciding to leave home was strong!
If we stay in a group here,
we'll be caught in no time!
We'll split off from here on!
Live in good health, everyone!
Disperse!
I I responded to them without thinking,
and now I'm a runaway ninja
So that's the story.
Stuff like that happens?
May I have some more?
Thank you very much.
That employee was staring
at us the whole time, huh?
I wonder why.
It's probably nothing.
Next time, I'd like to try the karaage, too!
Huh? Next time?
Is something the matter?
Found you, Satoko!
S-Senpai?!
You know the village rules.
Runaway ninjas must die!
P-Please wait!
I wasn't actually trying to run away
You can't fool me!
Do you know how many times
we've caught you running away?
A-Around three?
Try eight!
It's a misunderstanding!
I sorta got roped into—
Stop lying!
Whenever there are runaway
shinobi, you're always there!
There are even rumors that
you're leading them!
To top it off, you even got a
civilian involved this time!
I don't know how much you told her,
but I'll have to kill her, too!
Oh. I got it out.
We can't let anyone live after learning
that we, the Kusagakure clan,
are a shinobi group that secretly
carries out assassination
and espionage requests from the country!
Uh, Senpai, I haven't said
a word about any of that.
Interesting. The tip of the
kunai is laced with poison.
When did you
I don't know about the owner of the weapon
getting affected by their own poison.
That's all you've got, even though
you're ranked higher than me?
Ranking?
Damn You're not just any civilian.
Oh. Did I say that out loud?
Senpai
Were you two close?
No. I couldn't think of any
good memories with her.
I see.
Now, what should I do with her corpse?
You can leave that to me!
Huh? What are you going to do?
I don't really have good battle skills
But I know the ninjutsu for
turning things into leaves!
Um, excuse me!
I was thinking
You seem too used to this, Konoha-san.
I guess I can tell you.
Yeah.
I'm an assassin.
A-Assassin?!
They really exist?
This coming from a ninja?
Yeah, we do. That senpai of yours just now?
She's probably also an assassin.
There are rankings for assassins,
and everyone at the top is named "Kusagakure."
So I'm thinking there are quite a few
assassins that come from your village.
Huh
"Huh"? That's it?
I want to get to the top,
but we're not ranked on kill count alone.
We're also ranked based on how
well we can clean up on-site.
I'm not really good at that,
which is why I stay at a low rank.
You understand why I shared
all this info with you, right?
Huh?
Huh?
Oh, I get that a lot.
People say I'm very easy to talk to!
I don't think you get it.
I want you to pair up with
me and work together.
Nin-Koro.
Nin-Koro.
This means high-ranking ninjas
will be coming after you.
I'll protect you from them.
In exchange, I want you
to help me with my work.
What do you say?
Um What happens if I refuse?
Please say something.
Senpai? Where are you? Fumiko-senpai!
It's me, Michiru!
Eh? Huh?
Oh! A runaway ninja!
Huh? Where's Senpai?
Oh, well!
Hey! Don't dodge them!
I'm gonna do it again, okay? Don't move!
Huh? N-No thanks!
Hey! Don't run away!
Can you do that thing again?
O-Of course!
I'm amazed.
So, about your answer
How could I refuse?
I got rid of Senpai and can't
go back to the village, so
The idea that you would
protect a drifter like me
Please let me help you!
Wait, why are you wielding that kunai?
Well, I was going to kill you if you refused.
That's so disturbing!
Also, that won't do.
You need to dispose
of the murder weapon.
Wanna marry me?
You're that impressed?!
This is it.
I'm hungry
I'm good at cooking!
Even though you're a ninja?
Since I'm such a failure,
all I did was chores and odd jobs,
so I naturally became skilled at housework.
Well, come in.
This will be your home from now on.
My home!
Wh-What a mess!
Can you just turn the garbage
around here into leaves?
And I'm leaving dinner to you.
She's already bossing me around.
So good!
I never thought I'd get to eat food this good.
You sure were a great find.
By the way, Konoha-san
You have a lot of mail
stuffed in your mailbox.
All the recipient names are different,
and not one of them has your name on it.
What could that mean?
Konoha? Oh, yeah, that's my name.
What about it?
Huh? Is it a fake name?!
What's your real name?
Can you bring me the cake
that's in the fridge?
So you're not going to tell me
So good!
Looks delicious
I bought this with my own
hard-earned money,
so I can't give you any.
But we haven't even worked together yet!
I also made tonight's dinner!
Oh, yeah.
Here, then.
Huh?
Yummy!
Make my lunch tomorrow, too.
Sure! Leave it to me!
Well, I'm off to school.
What? You really are a student?!
What did you think I was?
Well, I thought it was a disguise
to hide from the world.
Huh?
So, what?
High School Girl
You thought I was someone
who'd wear a school uniform
even though they're not a student?
I have friends at my school, too, you know.
What? No way!
Excuse me? Why'd you react like that?
Oh, no reason! N-Never mind!
I see.
So that's why she wanted me to make
her lunch. Because she's a student.
I thought we could go around
town together, though.
Wait.
She forgot her lunch!
I need to get this to her, or her lunch will
Where's her school?
No! I may be a good-for-nothing
runaway ninja, but I'm still a shinobi!
Now is the time
to use the skills I learned
in the ninja village!
Mommy, look at that.
Don't look!
Hey! It's a ninja! A ninja!
What kind of ninja runs like that? So lame!
Ninjas run like this!
What's the matter, Koga-san?
Oh, uh I forgot my lunch.
What? Your lunch? How rare.
Did you finally learn how to cook?
Well
I'm currently living with a relative of mine.
She takes care of the chores.
What? Living together?
A corrupt lifestyle
I tried it on.
I tried it on
Shake
Hey, right now
is a no-no.
Hey, right now is a no-no.
No!
Strip
Porn Manga
Who is that in your fantasies?
I finally found you!
Konoha-san!
You forgot your lunch!
Oh, you came all this way to bring it to me?
How did you know where I was?
Oh! I followed the scent of your underwear!
What?
Like a porn manga!
Oh, so this is Satoko-chan.
It's nice to meet you, um
Yoshida-san. My classmate.
Yes! Yoshida-san!
You're so polite.
By the way, I was wondering
Why are you dressed as a ninja?
Right! Um
Oh, she's into cosplaying.
Oh, my!
Bunny
Pervy!!
Nurse
Even though you're her relative,
Koga-san lives alone, so there must be some
reason you came to live with her, right?
Um
"Koga"?
You see, Satoko-chan is my second cousin.
Her parents took her to research cannibals,
but the cannibals ended up eating them.
Satoko-chan was orphaned, and the
cannibals took care of her for a while
until they were wiped out by another
tribe. Luckily she survived.
Then she was taken in by a childless couple,
but after they had their own child,
things got awkward between them.
So Satoko-chan no longer had a place to stay,
and my parents were asked
if they could take her in.
Since my parents are
always flying around overseas
and don't have the time to take care of her,
she ended up living with me. Which works
because I always wanted a little sister.
That's the gist of it.
Oh, my. That must have been hard.
Those cannibals sound too scary.
Well, I'm going to take
her to the school entrance.
Okay. I'll head back to the classroom.
See you later, Satoko-chan.
Okay! Let's meet again!
I'll head back, then.
I'm glad we got to eat lunch together.
Wait.
Could you wait for me until school's out?
I have work right after that.
What?! You mean we get to
do assassin work together?!
I was planning to do it after we
get back, but this will save time.
Yippee!
You're too loud.
Sorry
I should have you hide somewhere
so you don't stand out
while school's still in session.
What is it?
It's just
I don't think that'll work
with you in that outfit.
How rude! I'm a shinobi!
Is your clan the type that wants attention?
That'll harm our reputation.
Well, whatever.
Guess I'll just leave school early.
Huh?
Schools in the city are so lenient.
Lucky
Actually, they're not.
I tend to eat out a lot during lunch,
so to make it easier to leave early,
I told the school that I'm physically weak.
Even though you're a super strong assassin
It's finally our first job together.
I'm getting nervous.
What kind of assignment is it?
I haven't really looked at it yet.
Oh.
Recollecting
The target is that one girl's father.
Wow. You do that with no hesitation.
I have to. It's my job.
You're up.
Okay. I'll turn him into leaves.
You're pretty merciless yourself.
The target's relative was the client.
All right.
Let's get something good to eat and head home.
Ooh, really? Where should we eat?
Hold on.
I'll look it up.
What's that thing you keep looking at?
Do you not know what a smartphone is?
Hey, what about this place?
It's a Chinese restaurant. Seems popular.
You can find out about that kind of thing?
1 Restaurant Genkai
2 Panda Teahouse Authentic Chinese Food
3 Italian Genesis
4 Tenzushi Asari
5 Galactic Burger
A lot of people leave reviews,
and it's all listed in a ranking system.
Whoa. Smartphones are amazing.
I've never seen a small TV like this.
What even is the civilization
level in a ninja village?
Chinese Restaurant
That was delicious. I'm so full!
Oh, by the way
What happened with that assassin ranking?
Want to see?
Hold on.
Here.
Rank number 210, "Glasses," is me.
Assassin Ranking
207 Gerald
208 GINGA
209 Kusagakure Fumiko
Glasses 210
Oh, there's already a review. That was fast.
Huh?
What's the difference between this and
that restaurant list you showed me?
Good work on our first job.
Yes! Good work!
I hope your ranking goes up.
Well, there's still over 200 above
me, so I still have a ways to go.
Yes! Let's both do our best!
To Be Continued
What are you doing?
I'm cleaning.
But it's already clean.
Huh? No, it's still dirty!
See?
Are you my sister-in-law?
Back in the village, they often scolded
me that way after forcing me to clean.
I guess it's sunk in.
But wouldn't you like your living
space to be nice and clean?
It doesn't matter to me either way.
What are you looking at, Konoha-san?
The assassin ranking.
Oh, that thing from before!
What happens when you
rank first in the list, anyway?
You'd get more job offers,
and you also get to choose
which jobs you take.
Huh
Which is why I'm in no position
to pick and choose my jobs now.
How do you go up in the rankings?
I said it before, but it's not
just about your kill count.
You're also evaluated based on how
well you followed the client's demands.
Most clients don't want an
over-the-top killing method,
which is why your ninja techniques
fit this job perfectly.
I'm glad I can be of use!
Things like reward amounts
and not utilizing the services provided
by the assassin ranking also help.
Huh What are the services they provide?
There's a lot.
Treating someone after injuries
Name: Koga Konoha
Address
My Number Card
Gender: Female
Valid until 2028 March 31
Forging IDs
Disposing of bodies
Cleaning rooms
Making meals
And also accompanying people to shops
that are hard to get to on their own.
The last half sounds like
stuff I've been doing
You really were a good find.
Are you, by chance, using me as a free service?
To Be Continued
210th
The one that kills is Konoha.
The one that turns things
into leaves is Satoko!
We get mistaken a lot.
"Konoha" sounds like a
ninja name, after all!
"Satsuko" sounds assassin-like, too.
Satoko! It's Satoko!
