The Akatsuki are down to their last three members, so Kuma Otsuka gets recruited by the masked man calling himself Madara Uchiha to join the fight. She's a wild and vicious fighter with a spotty past who's just trying to make a name for herself. But her rash approach to everything does nothing but annoy her partner, Kisame Hoshigaki, who prefers to take a more calculated stance. This is a story of adventure. This is the story of Kuma Otsuka, the kunoichi who'll do anything to prove she's more than just a bear in sheep's clothing - she's a bear in sheep's clothing who'll tear your throat out at a moment's notice.
