What to expect from Shinobi no Ittoki episode 8?
Episode 8 of Shinobi no Ittoki will see Koga village activating their most powerful ninja tool, a humanoid robot made with organs and body parts salvaged out of Kishimaru. As the Koga village is trying to go all out, they will also deploy their Asura project, which comprises thousands of ninja robots.
Genji Karajishi, who killed NSC chief Gashogawara, will relay false information to other members, including Shione, by telling them that the Iga ninjas have killed him out of a grudge for arresting Yumika.
The recently revealed preview teaser showed that Kidou Minobe had shot someone, who is presumed to be Hoou Ban. However, as the identity of the individual has not been confirmed yet, fans will have to be patient until episode 8 gets aired.
A brief recap of the previous episode
The chiefs of all the villages gathered at the NSC headquarters for the Grand Ninja Council. Gashogawara accused Kidou of breaking ninja ordinances, threatening students in other villages to withdraw from the Ninja Academy, and disturbing the balance of the shinobi world. Gashogawara wanted the other chiefs, who have been victims of Koga’s tyranny, to speak up, but everyone refused.
However, Yumika’s speech raised their spirits. Within a second, everyone turned against Kidou, as they wanted him to answer for the crimes of Koga village. Second division NSC member Genji Karajishi intruded into the conversation, accusing Iga Village of being responsible for Kishinmaru’s death with video footage evidence.
As the audio frequency of the suspect's suit matched with Iga’s tech, Yumika was arrested. Ittoki took charge of his village as a temporary chief. Karajishi threatened Yumika that he would give her a death sentence no matter what.
