After World War II, Allied Command in Japan developed a new agency to help manage terrorism and violence within the Pacific region.

Eventually that program grew to its current form, managing 20,000 ninja across a range of domestic and international affairs. One of those ninja happens to be Kudo. The seventeen-year-old high school loser is now poised to be the next line of defense against a potential surge in foreign assassins invading Tokyo.
After a looong break, Kurou is going back to school. As a ne'er-do-well learning was never one of his strongest suits, but right now his "assignment" doesn't necessarily require him to hit the books.

And what of the casual ninja in the shopping arcade?! Make sure your head's on a shivel or you might get a shuriken to the face!
Now armed with modern ninja gear, Kudo begins to test out his new tool set throughout the mean streets of Tokyo. Unbeknownst to him, there is a Russian agent in town set on disrupting Japan's ninja corps. While still fresh and not yet fully trained, Kudo is put on alert to take care of a terrorist in the city. It just so happens that this agent also happens to possess ninja skills!

The first complete translation of the ultimate Ninja manual—a comprehensive guide to the arts of the ninja, including espionage, warfare, assassination, and more In 1676, a ninja named Fujibayashi collected and combined information from the ninja clans of Iga—regarded to be the homeland of the ninja—and compiled it into an authoritative book. Known as The Bansenhukai, Fujibayashi's book has now been translated into English by the Historical Ninjutsu Research Team and is widely considered to be the ‘bible’ of ninjutsu, the arts of the ninja. The Book of Ninja begins with an in-depth introduction to the history of Fujibayashi's scripture. The teachings themselves, appealingly rendered in this translation, then take us into the secrets of guerrilla warfare and espionage. We learn how to become the ultimate spy, whether through a network of spies or by hiding in plain sight. Through the stealth and concealment tactics of night-time infiltration, through weapon and tool building skills, and through mission planning, we can learn much both about warfare and about adopting the right mindset for tackling our own inner and outer enemies. Adding to the mix for the spycraft lover, there are sections on capturing criminals, performing night raids, making secret codes and signs, and even techniques for predicting the weather, and using an esoteric Buddhist system of divination. An exciting and engaging tome of lost knowledge, The Book of Ninja is the final say in the world of the ninja and the ultimate classic for samurai and ninja enthusiasts alike.
By adding more advanced tools and concepts to the modern ninja’s training regimen, this book continues where volume one left off. In the second book of the series, Hayes introduces combat principles, such as dealing with and avoiding danger, rolls and ground rebounds, training for modern altercations, and the power-generating hand symbols of kuji-in.
