Synopsis
Elite ninja assassin Hayate rebels against secret Shinogara rulers, becoming fugitive with unlikely ally.
Japan is secretly controlled by a tyrannical group of ninjas called the Shinogara. Their finest assassin is a man named Hayate Kanuma, whose father holds a position of power within the Shinogara. Hayate, however, knows that the secret society's control over Japan is wrong. When he chooses to stand against them, he becomes their most wanted target. Now on the run from his former comrades, Hayate must find a way to survive while evading the relentless pursuit of the Shinogara. In his desperate situation, he turns to an unexpected ally for help. As the conflict escalates, Hayate and his companion must navigate a dangerous world where betrayal lurks around every corner, and the price of resistance may be higher than they ever imagined. The question remains: how can one man hope to challenge an organization that has secretly ruled from the shadows for generations?
Japan is secretly controlled by a tyrannical group of ninjas called the Shinogara. Their finest assassin is a man named Hayate Kanuma, whose father leads the Shinogara. Hayate, however, knows that the secret society's control over Japan is wrong. Sacrificing his own safety, Hayate kills his father. Now he's on the run, safe almost nowhere from his vengeful former comrades except perhaps for the one hiding place he decides upon: his sister. After possibly being fatally wounded, Hayate is able to transfer his soul into his sister's body, temporarily sharing it with her. His sister, Shiori, can awaken Hayate and call upon his ninja abilities when the Shinogara are close at hand but each time she does so, a little more of her true self is lost. This arrangement can't possibly go on forever, so how will Hayate finally defeat the Shinogara?
