Ninjas were a pack of warrior monks trained in the arts of stealth and silence.
Um... I'll have to look into that?
If you guys would provide me with sources, I'd gladly use them to update the first post.

Wiki, Mail Call, and Adam Sessler
Ha, Adam Sessler! Well, anything said on X-Play must be true! Mail Call? Tell me that's not a reference to what I think it is..

When I asked for sources, I meant actual links to where you read it.

[.Phyrexian.], I'll look more into that later tonight, and add some to my first post. This part is what really caught my attention, though: "The ninja's original use of guerilla tactics against better armed enemy samurai and their eventual use as hired spies does not mean that they were limited to espionage and undercover work, that is simply where their actions most drastically differed from the more accepted tactics of samurai. Their weapons and tactics were partially derived from the need to conceal or defend themselves quickly from Samurai, which can be seen from the similarities between many of their weapons and various sickles and threshing tools used at the time."

How does everyone like my new avatar? I finally got enough money to buy back my OMG Hat
It's awesome. dramallama

Is it possible for the Chyaku Norisu (in unknown hero form) to go under the OMG, or does it go over (Like in my Dream avatar [hopefully that's just a TekTek glitch])

It goes under.

Yeah Ask a Ninja rules, also the same guy who made that also made "Hope is Emo", that is a funny show to =P Have any of you seen Darth Vader: Nightshift Manager, also Dayshift Manager, but recently he got demoted to Nightshift manager.. lol, that show is hilarious and the guy does the perfect Darth Vader impression.

Wow, we are getting very off topic.

Yes we are, maybe we should create a topic specifically for random videos.
Oh and I haven't seen it but I'd like to if you'd give me a URL or something.

I really don't know, but I see little reason why they would be. I believe shaolin monks, much like devout Hindus, shaved their heads and offered their hair to their gods, but don't quote me on that. I know for a fact that Hindus do, though. Now, if that really is the reason for shaolin monks doing so, why would ninjas?

But I would be interested in more info about this. I'll try to check it out.

Thanks mrgreen

Why were the ninja's and monks enemies? Is it because Ninja's were assasins, and Monks were peaceful and all, but just as skilled in Hand-to-Hand.

hand to hand is still called tai-jutsu in my belief...
as well, ninjutsu is not those fancy things you see in Naruto

If you watch rakudai Ninja Rantaro, that is a more accurate discription of what ninja's, or shinobis, did during the feudal eras....

As well, I am not really sure where you got the information of the religious belief...
Even some of the Daimyos believed in Shintoism...
