Shinobi No Ittoki: Will Ittoki Ever Grow Stronger?
Troyca’s Shinobi no Ittoki is an action anime. Ittoki Sakuraba, who felt he was just another middle school student, is central to the plot. He goes to school, hangs out with his pals, and does the things that most kids his age do.
His entire existence is turned upside down when he discovers that his father was the commander of a well-established ninja clan before to his untimely death. Ittoki discovers that he is his father’s heir to the throne of the Iga Shinobi Clan.
Ittoki is conflicted about taking on such a responsibility because this vital information has been kept from him his entire life. He doubts his abilities to be a ninja and considers himself to be weak. When Ittoki first faces the decision to abandon his daily life to become a ninja, he lacks conviction.
Soon after discovering that he is a member of a ninja clan, Ittoki begins to uncover additional secrets about his family. While he struggles to accept the fact that he is the heir of a centuries-old clan, he learns more about his family’s lethal roots.
He learns about a feud between his tribe and the Kouga Shinobi clan. For a long time, the two clans have been at odds, and this enmity is also tied to Ittoki’s father’s death.
While it is not revealed to him why his father was murdered, it is evident that the Kouga clan killed him to avenge the death of their former leader. Now, the current Kouga leader has set his sights on Ittoki and plans to assassinate him.
The true story begins at the end of the second episode of the anime. Ittoki is in a dangerous situation now that he realizes he is no longer safe in his daily existence. Ittokit has three options: train to become a ninja and become the chief of his clan, try to live a normal life and be slain by the Kouga clan, or go into hiding.
Although Ittoki is not interested in becoming a ninja and does not consider himself to be powerful, he is concerned about the protection of his family. He understands that going into hiding would force his mother to take on the position of clan chief, putting her life in jeopardy.
Ittoki may appear fearful at first, but he has a strong sense of responsibility. He is not content with leaving his mother to look after the clan, so he decides to become a ninja and take over as clan chief.
Ittoki discovers the existence of the Kokuten Ninja Academy, which is also overseen by the National Ninjutsu Security Measures Committee, or the NSC, after making this decision. Ittoki must pass the dangerous entrance exam to enlist and train as a ninja.
For the first time, we glimpse Ittoki’s true potential as a formidable ninja during his exam. The Kouga clan ambushes him during his test and attempts to destroy it, but Ittoki responds quickly and prioritizes the safety of onlookers while confronted by the Kouga clan members.
He fails to use stealth and raises a commotion, but he is successful in forcing the Kouga clan to retreat. Ittoki may appear rough around the edges and unsure of his talents, but with each decision he makes, it becomes evident that he has the potential to be a great ninja someday.
Shinobi no Ittoki has six episodes so far, with the next one coming out in a week. Hopefully, the upcoming episodes will give Ittoki many more opportunities to develop and learn, sculpting him into a fine and strong ninja.
