Shinobi Undercover, Vol. 5

A young ninja battles the ultimate opponent—his own awkwardness! Yodaka’s worst nightmare comes true when his job as a Public Safety ninja forces him to go to high school and even worse…talk to people! When it comes to combat, his skills are off the charts. When it comes to social interaction, he completely falls apart. But things take an unexpected turn when he discovers that talking to Aoi Mukai, the girl he’s assigned to guard, is surprisingly easy. The Battle of the Ninja Arts between Squad No. 6 and Squad No. 9 officially begins! Although it’s a “friendly” fight, the battle heats up when Hayabusa makes it his goal to dethrone Yodaka as the most powerful ninja. As the brutal battle carries on and ninja from each side are eliminated, Yodaka’s at his wit’s end trying to overcome Hayabusa’s electric powers. Burnt and smoking from numerous shocks, Yodaka must draw upon a new devastating power he’s just learned: the ability to set things aside for later!
