The Sakura Shuriken
In the fortress of the Evil Ninja Society Team Squadron Corps, the mysterious ninja leader prepared to create another Yōkai. This time, he used a Shuriken on a pencil. Then he muttered a spell that ended with the words 'Giikishi Genji Genja!' Then the Yōkai appeared, and it looked like an umbrella monster with one eye. The mysterious leader said "I think I remember this Yōkai from Ninninger episode 16. Except that one was made from a fountain pen and not my pencil." The the Yōkai left to get Kuroninja's attention. The leader thought 'Hopefully this one can defeat Kuroninja.'
The apartment room of Kuroninja
In Kuroninja's room, Kuroninja was training when suddenly, Sakura appeared out of nowhere to challenge him. Kuroninja accepted the challenge. Then they had a sparring match. Kuroninja won against Sakura, but then realized why. Kuroninja was starting to get to know the Flowery Kunoichi Team well. Then Kuroninja saw a Yōkai when he looked out the window. He didn't see what it looked like, though. Kuroninja and Sakura went outside to fight the Yōkai.
When Kuroninja and Sakura went onto the streets, Kuroninja gasped in fear after seeing the Yōkai. The Yōkai introduced himself. "I am the Yōkai, Karakasa, soldier of the Evil Ninja Society Team Squadron Corps!" He said. Kuroninja started to shiver. Sakura asked Kuroninja "What's wrong? It's only a Karakasa." Kuroninja said "Those Yōkai are my worst fear! They're the reason why I don't use an umbrella when it rains." Then the Karakasa used its attack, which was to rise up in the air, and spin like a tornado. Pencil-shaped darts began to barrage Kuroninja and Sakura. Kuroninja tried to use his Flower Shuriken, but it was useless against the pencil darts. Sakura used one of her attacks, but she also got outnumbered by the darts. Kuroninja was badly wounded against this Yōkai. He and Sakura retreated.
Back in the fortress of the Evil Ninja Society Team Squadron Corps, the leader of the evil ninjas found Karakasa. He asked "Have you defeated Kuroninja yet?" Karakasa said "Yes, almost. Kuroninja is scared of me! He was hardly a threat! Why did it even take 7 episodes for you to defeat him anyway?" The evil ninja leader said "This gives me a good idea. I will give you evil ninjas under your command. They will frighten Kuroninja even more by using weaponized umbrellas that shoot darts!"
In the apartment, Kuroninja decided to train to conquer his fear. He was training with Ran, who used an umbrella as a weapon to represent the Yōkai in this training match. Kuroninja then got petrified when he saw the umbrella. But then he thought of a strategy: to think of the umbrella as if it were just a normal enemy. Kuroninja then destroyed the umbrella weapon and completed the training. Kuroninja then saw the Yōkai again on the streets and went to attack. Sakura followed.
In the streets, Kuroninja saw Karakasa attacking buildings. Kuroninja interrupted by throwing shurikens at him. Then he said "Aren't you scared to see me again?" Kuroninja answered "Not anymore! I conquered my fear!" Karakasa then said "Oh yeah? Well, this can scare you more. Minions!" As soon as he said this, evil ninja henchmen with weaponized umbrellas appeared. Kuroninja got scared a little, but he remembered his training with Ran. Kuroninja then used his sword and sliced all the umbrellas. Karakasa said "You have defeated the ninjas, but you forgot about my attack!" Karakasa rose up into the air, began to spin, and shot more pencil-like darts. The darts attacked Kuroninja! Then Kuroninja noticed Sakura. Kuroninja said "I think if we work together, we can take down this Yōkai. Then one of Kuroninja's shurikens began to glow. It then transformed into a pink shuriken with the Japanese character for cherry blossom (桜). Kuroninja used it, wondering what it could do. Then Kuroninja's katana turned into a vine, which grabbed Karakasa's leg and made him fall down. Kuroninja then activated his finisher, and it caused a black fog to surround Karakasa. Kuroninja sliced him with his sword, creating a large explosion.
Later, Kuroninja decided to rest, but then Sakura gave him a gift, since he unlocked the Sakura Shuriken. Kuroninja opened it, and it was an umbrella. Kuroninja didn't want to touch the umbrella. His fear had come back to normal.
