So what is a ninja? What is so special about them, and do they still exist? Well, they are your ULTIMATE mercenary with the sneak attack power of a God. Also known as a Shinobi (Sneak) they were covert agents with very special jobs…
That would be espionage, sabotage, infiltration, assassination and guerrilla warfare to name some of the most unique duties of a ninja. Now it sounds like they are nothing but a ruthless, unloyal, killer for hire and in many ways they were, but never have they ever been assassins without honor. In fact, they have been called at times ‘a warrior without honor’, this simply is not true. They actually do have a moral code, just not like one you’ve heard of before. We’ll leave that though for another article…
