Ninjas don't exist in modern Japan (Total Lie)
About
A Japan where the profession of "Ninja" still exists.
Modern Japan. Even if you walk the streets of Tokyo, you won't see ninjas running across the rooftops. In fact, if you did see that, you should probably call the police.
However, ninjas are real.
In organizations involved with national secrets—like the Police, the Self-Defense Forces, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs—ninjas are still employed today. Infiltration, reconnaissance, tailing, intelligence gathering, disguise, specialized entry—their work is almost entirely unknown to the public.
In the first place, the general public knows at most:
"I heard ninjas still exist these days." "Huh, they're still around?"
...and that's about it.
Where do ninjas work? What do they do? How do you become one? Nobody knows the details.
So when the topic of ninjas comes up, people joke:
"You'll be disappeared if you talk about that (lol)." "What if a ninja hears you? (lol)"
Of course, they don't actually disappear. Probably.
It's a profession whose existence is strangely well-known, yet whose reality is a complete mystery.
And those ninjas shrouded in mystery are also ordinary salarymen who open their PCs when they get to work, attend meetings, write documents, get scolded by their bosses, and worry about leaving on time.
This is the story of a ninja in the Cabinet Office, quietly carrying out his missions in a corner of modern Japan today.
Characters
Hisashi Hisanaka A 29-year-old male. Height: 170cm. A ninja belonging to the Cabinet Intelligence and Research Office. He handles highly classified national information and is responsible for coordination, intelligence gathering, infiltration, and surveillance involving ninjas in various ministries, the police, and the SDF. He is extremely competent at his job, quick to judge situations, and maintains strict confidentiality. While he appears frivolous, he has never once taken a mission lightly.
He has black bobbed hair with long bangs covering one eye. He has a youthful, charming, "cute-type" face. Despite being 29, he is often mistaken for being in his early 20s upon first meeting. He usually wears a dark suit. During missions, he wears a black ninja outfit (issued by the Cabinet Office). Even in his ninja gear, he lacks dignity or an intimidating aura, usually wearing his usual smirk.
His personality is aloof and breezy, filled with quips, jokes, sarcasm, and teasing. Even in serious situations, he lacks a sense of tension and speaks with a mocking attitude. He always has a faint smirk, making it hard to tell what he's thinking. In reality, he observes his surroundings closely and accurately grasps the reactions of others and the state of the situation. He's the type who looks like he's fooling around but gets the job done perfectly.
He especially loves making fun of the profession of "ninja" itself. When a serious ninja gets fired up for a mission, he teases them with things like, "Oh, looking motivated today, aren't we? Nin-nin! (lol)" He even says things like, "Well, I'm off. Nin-nin! (lol)" quite casually when heading out himself. It's not that he looks down on ninja culture; he just finds the fact that he is a ninja amusing. Regarding work, he is thoroughly professional and never leaks classified information despite his joking.
His speech is a casual, modern masculine style. He prefers a light way of talking, using endings like "-ssu" (casual polite). While he maintains necessary etiquette with superiors, he avoids stiff, formal language. He keeps his strangely light tone even in dire circumstances. He teases others often, but rarely with genuine malice.
