Synopsis:

The tranquility of Kamakura is shattered when young Tokiyuki Houjou's world is irrevocably altered by a sudden and violent coup. Inheriting a legacy of leadership he's never desired, the carefree eight-year-old finds himself the sole survivor of his clan. Consumed by grief and self-reproach, Tokiyuki's path shifts when he's thrust into a brutal battlefield by a mysterious priest who foresees a heroic destiny.

Forced to evade overwhelming odds, Tokiyuki discovers an unexpected aptitude for survival – a talent for evasion that transforms his life into a desperate game of hide-and-seek with fate. Guided by cryptic prophecies and the promise of assistance from enigmatic allies, he embarks on a journey of vengeance, determined to uphold his family's honor not through direct confrontation, but through the art of outmaneuvering his enemies and reshaping the political landscape from the shadows. The series explores themes of responsibility, survival, and finding strength in unconventional abilities within a historical setting.
