Prologue: The Phantom’s Return
The moon was a sliver in the sky, casting a ghostly light over the village. The wind carried the faintest trace of a whisper—an omen that the village’s peace was about to be shattered.

Kaito, known as the Shuriken Shadow, had long been a legend—a myth. Yet tonight, he returned. No longer the idealistic student of the Shuriken Shadow Clan, he had become an instrument of vengeance.

His mission was simple, yet infinitely complicated: to find and eliminate Ryuu, his former comrade, now a traitor to the clan.

The winds stirred as Kaito dropped from the shadows, vanishing into the darkness.

Chapter Four: The Code of Shadows

The battle raged on, and yet, Kaito could feel the weight of the code in his soul—the ancient rules that had bound the Shuriken Shadow Clan. They were not just warriors; they were protectors of the land, the unseen force that kept balance between light and darkness.

Kaito knew the clan's code by heart. He had trained in its arts since he was a child. It was a code that governed not only their actions in battle but their lives, their souls. A code that held true even in the face of death.

But Ryuu had thrown it all away. For power. For ambition.

As Kaito's sword clashed with Ryuu's, he realized that it wasn't just a battle for survival—it was a battle for the soul of the Shuriken Shadow Clan. If Ryuu won, the clan's code would be broken forever. If Kaito lost… then everything he had fought for would be meaningless.
