This new series will retain the elements of urban legends and horror, but will focus on the group of Toukeshuu ninjas in Tokyo, the city where dreams and desires swirl. With ancient techniques handed down from generation to generation, the ninjas attempt to remove "the darkness" that envelops people in the current Reiwa era.
