but it seems like your views on ninja in modern society is based on misinformation. like me an Draven type all the time.
hired assassins isnt the only thing that ninja did historically
an not all factions or clans dealt exclusively in assassination
asaasination or sneaking around is are just small parts or skill sets out of many other skill sets.
fictional depiction of ninja only concentrate on the stealthy assassin clothed in black part which gives an incomplete representation of thats what all its about.
other types of warriors do the same thing but on ninja. functions include scholar, warrior, guerilla tactics, constant upgrade an innovations of weapons, spirituality , martial arts etc. why wouldnt these be applicable in modern society when they are constantly being used an innovated on today?
these are some of the many functions of ninja. people who come from different walks of like that happen to practice ninjutsu do these such as military personel, law enforcement, body gaurds, musicians , Spiritual and Educational teachers etc.
some people use thier functions to contribute positively or...patriotically to society, some may use thier functions for other means which goes with nin carrying the meaning of also one's perception of right an wrong, positive and negative, choice in the path they want to take |
good argument, +rep
But I disagree that ninja is a title worth getting or attianable, the skills they developed are not unique to the ninja, and a useful as he skills the learnt maybe, the ninja 'culture' if you like is just not needed.
ninjutsu is the creation and mix of many arts and skills, as you said and these skillls are useful and worth keeping band even all of ninjutsu, but the title ninja is a waste of time.
Ninjutsu student would be far more appropriate.
