but i dunno how to put it with the masters of everything lol.

but as far as warfare goes ninja like other guerilla units, and the militaries of other cultures were well versed in many areas of combat and wasnt limited to stealthy or "sneaky" tactics

the fire-arms part of ninjutsu is kayaku-jutsu. this area also covers explosives for demolition/distraction, chemistry, poisons etc. as times progressed an firearms came updated kayaku-jutsu also adapted with the updates

one of the reasons why ninja had this vast knowledge of warfare skills is from the influences of skills from other cultures that came to Japan such as Chinese, Indian, eastern European, and southeastern Asia added with the innovations of the locals


the misconception is the idea based on media depictions from both Japan an the West of the ninja just being limited to certain areas of combat..such as stealth an sneaking around. but like Draven has posted a couple times, the combat an warfare skills go alot deeper than that.
And the ninja's appearance and choice of apparel would vary according to the requirements imposed by circumstance?
