Introduction

Those who lurk in the shadows to strike down evil Ninja. Those who offer refuge to outcasts while piling up misdeeds…Gokudo.

In the Edo period, amidst the Great Fire of Meireki, a fateful grudge was etched between ninja and Gokudo. Now, in the modern era, that flame threatens to burn once more...

Shinoha Tanaka, a ninja who lost his smile due to trauma, and Kiwami Kimura, a Gokudo boss who poses as an elite office worker while secretly ruling the underworld.

The two bond over their shared love of a children’s anime, building a friendship without knowing each other’s true identities… But as the war between ninja and Gokudo intensifies, their destinies collide.

It must be decided. Ninja or Gokudo, who will survive and who will perish!!!
