== Overview ==
A long time ago, a meteorite fell upon a country. Before long, people with special gifts emerged there. They were called Ninja. In a lawless age, Ninja served feudal lords. They were sent on various missions centered around intelligence. But over time, as a new age arrived...
Ninjas were not needed any longer. Expelled, they crossed the sea and were scattered all over the world.
And today... some of those Ninjas' descendants are here.
