Year of Stories – Week 24
For week 24 of the Year of Stories, you're getting treated to an offbeat ninja adventure, Council-Approved.
Kashi is in training, learning everything he can from his ninja mentor, Toru. He hopes to apply soon to become an official, council-approved ninja, part of an elite society, but before he gets there he has to survive his next practice mission. Supposedly this one's going to be a lot more challenging than the past few cakewalks.
