<p><b>"The spark that ignited Japan's legendary shinobi boom was the 'Sanada Ninja.' And now, the global legacy of the shinobi is destined to be completed by none other than the 'Sanada Ninja.'" </b></p><p><b>Beyond the battlefields of men, a silent war was fought in the shadows of the spirit world.<br>Step into the hidden world of the Non&amp;#333;-where sacred spirit-channeling meets high-stakes espionage.</b></p><p>The year is 1576. The air in central Japan is thick with the scent of burning stone and the shrill, persistent cries of oil-cicadas.

As Oda Nobunaga-the ruthless "Demon King of the Sixth Heaven"-tightens his iron grip on the nation, the survival of the Sanada clan depends on a weapon no army can see: the Non&amp;#333;.</p><p><b>The Mystery of the Non&amp;#333;</b><br>Enter a world of wandering priestesses who travel the provinces with scarlet skirts and steeled hearts.

They are the elite eyes and ears of the Sanada clan, weaving a web of intelligence that stretches from the jagged mountain passes of Shinsh&amp;#363; to the gold-lined halls of the capital.</p><p><b>The Story</b><br>In Volume I, The Fall of the House of Takeda, follow <b>Mochizuki Chiyome</b>, a widow caught in the cold gears of clan politics, and <b>Sanada Kiyone</b>, a young girl of noble blood who abandons her life of privilege to learn the lethal arts of the shadow-warrior.</p><p>As they navigate a world of shifting loyalties and ancient curses, they encounter legends like <b>Kirigakure Saiz&amp;#333;</b>, the phantom of the mist, and the strategic genius of <b>Sanada Masayuki</b>, a man of "two faces" who plays a deadly game of chess with the greatest warlords in history.</p><p><b>Why Read Non&amp;#333;'s Field?</b></p><ul><li><p><b>Historical Authenticity: </b> Supervised by <b>Iyoku Matsukaze</b>, a 14th-generation descendant of the historical Sanada Agatsuma Ninjas.
