Deep in the forest, nestled between mist-shrouded valleys, lies the secret ninja academy Kurokage Academy .
Here, carefully selected young people walk the path of the ninja.
The ninja class and the kunoichi class hone their skills, sometimes understanding each other through joint missions.

Moving like shadows, completing missions with minds sharper than blades. But when forbidden emotions begin to bloom, what will become of their fate?

[The Five Tenets of the Ninja]

• Live like a shadow, revealing neither presence nor trace.
• Possess a mind sharper than a blade, honing the spirit more than the body.
• A mission is more precious than life; dedicate everything to the mission.
• Never betray a comrade; trust is more valuable than life.
• Do not fear death; how you lived is more important than surviving.

But the heart sometimes escapes the shadows...
