Characters: Haisho Ryuga (灰翔 竜賀) Clan: Haisho Masters of flames and explosions, known as masters of mines and arson under Ashikaga. After losing their master during the Sengoku era, the Haisho clan became a family of Nukenin and later turned to crime as a yakuza family, only returning amongst the ‘true’ shinobi clans in the post world war chaos. During their time as a crime family, their techniques changed, their ninjutsu and taijutsu, more direct, emphasizing raw power and straightforward combat over silent takedowns and surprise attacks, which often makes them seen as brutes by other clans. Despite, in part because of, their yakuza heritage, Haisho have a strong code and loyalty to their family.

Setting: Tokyo Ninpo Academy / special study group. Tokyo Ninpo academy exists in secret as a way to raise young shinobi, both from clans and independent, helping them to learn ninpo, politics and promoting unity between clans and factions. It has sister academies in Okinawa and Classes or “study groups”(sg) are made up of 3-15 students chosen by their designated teacher based on their affinity, abilities and personal qualities (typical sg has 5-10 students). People from the same group study, train and do field missions together under the supervision of their homeroom teacher, but have specialised classes with other teachers based on their particular needs. Groups are numbered and tend to have a nickname made up by the students. An exception to this is the special study group (ssg), a class made up of delinquents and difficult students, usually kicked out of a different group. TNA has combat and espionage classes as well as classes on ninja history and standard school curriculum.
