The way of the rising sun
14-year-old Luke’s ordinary life takes an unexpected turn when he’s randomly selected for an exchange program with a school in Japan, despite never signing up. Feeling anxious and out of his depth, Luke isn’t thrilled about leaving his familiar small town, his best friend Fate, and the life he’s comfortable with.
But once Luke arrives in Japan, what starts as a seemingly normal school experience quickly becomes something far more extraordinary. He stumbles upon a hidden, centuries-old ninjutsu school, where students are secretly trained in ancient martial arts, stealth, and combat techniques. Luke soon learns that this isn’t just any school—it's one that operates in the shadows to protect the world from unseen dangers.
Thrown into a world of mystery, ancient traditions, and high-stakes challenges, Luke must navigate his new life as both a student and an unlikely ninja-in-training. As he discovers hidden talents he never knew he had, Luke must decide whether he has what it takes to embrace this secret destiny—or whether he should turn his back on it and return to the normal life he thought he wanted.
With the help of new friends and mentors, Luke embarks on a journey that will test his courage, loyalty, and strength, all while uncovering the hidden secrets of his own past. But as enemies of the ninjutsu school begin to close in, Luke realizes that his selection for the exchange program may not have been so random after all.
