Ittoki finds out that his family is the long running leader of the famous Iga Ninja Clan, and he is next in line to take over. The Iga family must try to defend what is theirs from the rivaling Koga family that seeks to end his life! Ittoki is now left with no choice but to become a shinobi that’s strong enough to not only protect himself but his village that he has put in danger! Now a student at Kokuten Ninja Academy, a high school specializing in Shinobi techniques, Ittoki learns the way of the modern day ninja, equipped with high tech suits and gadgets.
