The comic will see the teenage reporter from the American comic schedule a meeting with the Fifth Hokage from the Hidden Leaf Village which piqued Team 7’s interest. However, the Shinobi are not the only ones interested in the meeting as the Foot Clan from Tennant Ninja Mutant Turtles which is an antagonist group in the comic have their ulterior motives about April’s visit to the Kanoha.
