In an ancient land ruled by shadow, one forgotten ninja learns to rise...They called him Aoto, who was just an errand Boy. Too slow for stealth missions. Too weak for weapon drills.In the Hoto Ninja Clan, he fetched rice, swept the training halls, and scrubbed blood from the stone floors after real warriors returned.But some shadows have secrets.
