Choose Your Own Adventure #113
The Lost Ninja
Can you rescue a fellow ninja from the hands of Japanese gangsters?
You are a skilled fighter, well versed in the martial arts and the art of ninjutsu. One day you are talking with Saito, a strange boy from your class, when a car suddenly pulls up. You watch as two men jump out, shove Saito into their car, and drive off. Everything happens so fast. You're not certain, but you think the men are Yakuza, a ruthless band of Japanese gangsters. You want to do something to help Saito, but what?
If you try to help Saito yourself, turn to page 56. If you choose to let the police handle it, turn to page 81. But be careful! The Yakuza are powerful and deadly enemies. You might get hijacked to Hong Kong and sold into slavery. Or you could become a true ninja hero and help to put the Yakuza behind bars!
What happens next in the story? It all depends on the choices you make. How does the story end? Only you can find out! And the best part is that you can keep reading and rereading until you've had not one but many incredibly daring experiences!

The sexual tension between the POV character and Saito was palpable.
There were also a surprising number of endings where you end up wrapped in chains and thrown into the ocean. Like I want to say almost half of the endings were chains + ocean.

Biggest complaint is how quickly it takes to reach an ending. I love how there are different stories in the same book.
