Are Ninjas Real?

 

Okay. All joking about pirates vs ninjas aside, this is a valid question. In fact, ninjas really did once exist, though their history is understandably shrouded in mystery. In feudal Japanese history, a ninja (or shinobi) was a covert agent who specialized in what can only be described as the “unorthodox” ways of war. Ninjas were masters of their crafts, and their job descriptions generally included performing stealth missions such as espionage, infiltration, assassination, and other acts of sabotage. No one knows exactly when the first actual ninja was employed, or when real ninjas began to fade from their culture’s history, but they’ve certainly capture the imagination of many a nation. Still today, ninjas have their own place in Japanese and Western pop culture, and many motivated individuals dream of one day becoming a real Ninja Warrior.

 

And if all that isn’t enough to convert the pirate fans over to the way of the ninja, nothing will. And that means you have a long and bloody battle ahead of you, so pick your favorite ninja costume out of the bunch and represent your side in the most epic battle ever waged.
