When Ito Akira, a gifted but low-profile academy prodigy of Konohagakure, accidentally triggers a forbidden summoning during class, he vanishes without a trace—reverse-channeled into the realm of the dead. There, Akira awakens a broken system that was never meant to bind the living. In a twist of fate, the system fuses the spirit world to him alone, granting Akira a terrifying ability: the power to summon the dead of Konoha as his own summons—and inherit fragments of their strength. From fallen genin to legendary heroes, from forgotten shinobi to monsters whose names shaped history, the dead now answer to him. But power comes at a cost. Each summoning draws Akira deeper into the currents of fate, attracting the attention of the village, the shadows of history, and forces that were never meant to return. As Akira walks the line between the living and the dead, the ninja world begins to change—quietly, irrevocably. And when a single golden summoning brings forth a name that should never have answered another’s call… The era of the dead is no longer over.
