The manga centers on Gabimaru, once hailed as the strongest ninja but who has now abandoned his profession and violated his village's laws. After being captured, he claims he has nothing left worth living for. However, due to his superhuman training, he has accidentally survived multiple executions—from beheading attempts to burning at the stake. The executioner Sagiri Asaemon informs him that he still clings to life and assigns him a mission to earn his acquittal: he must find the elixir of immortality.

Kaku began serializing the historical fantasy manga in Shounen Jump+ in January 2018 and concluded it on January 25 this year with 128 chapters. Shueisha released the 12th volume on December 4.
