The Land of Needles

In the far-western Land of Needles, eight newly graduated shinobi from the Hidden Void are divided into two four-person genin teams, each packed with volatile personalities, unusual bloodlines, inherited techniques, and sharply different ideas about what being a ninja should mean. As their missions grow more dangerous, rivalries and friendships form across the teams while the village’s old clans, political history, and lingering scars from the war that created Hidden Void press in on their generation.
