1 | ''Seishin The Ninjutsu Chronicle'' is an [[{{TroperWorks}} original fiction]], particularly a series of [[ShortStory Short Stories]] and FlashFiction, by {{Tropers/WolfTropesII}} about ''{{Ninja}}''. And this time, the aim is to make the ninja close to life as possible, with a few paranormal cases. Because of the goal, the Troper's zeal drove her into intensive research. |
2 | |
3 | Seishin was inspired by the Troper's love of the seclusive shadow agents themselves, her [[ItsPopularNowItSucks frustration from]] the common super-human theme emitted from media, and the author Futaro Yamada, the creator of the ''NinpōChō'' Series (忍法帖). It began in 2008 and was first planned as a long ProseFiction of at least fifty chapters, but after a few chapters and due to difficulty, it was put [[SeriesHiatus on hiatus]]. The setting often encompasses [[JidaiGeki the Warring States Peroid and Edo Period]], but there will be some taking place in the Modern Era. |
