Ninja (Shinobi) - the story of legendary Japanese assassins | They never wore black suits

Disregarding the samurai code of honor and any moral laws, ninjas were the most despised and dangerous opponents in Japan. They were not even warriors, but real professional killers, capable of accepting a contract for anyone. They avoided a fair fight and set as their goal only murder by any means available. Therefore the art of the ninja is to be invisible to the enemy’s eye. To deliver a single blow when the victim is not expecting it. Make it deadly. The history of the ninja begins in the 15th century, when in feudal Japan, under the influence of the Chinese treatise on the art of war, written by Sun Tzu, the so-called Shinobi schools began to appear, which initially trained only spies and saboteurs who could secretly obtain information, organize sabotage and penetrate any environment.

There is a widely known case when 80 ninjas, on behalf of Takugawa, attacked an enemy fortress under cover of darkness and killed several hundred people of its garrison, suffering virtually no losses.

[@PolinaGurova-yb5bs]

Their position remained high until 1581, when the samurai Oda Nobunaga, who wanted to unite all of Japan under his sole rule, invaded the lands of the Shinobi clans and destroyed all their institutions.

[@InnaPolonskaia]

The surviving ninja were forced to flee, leaving almost all their property. Subsequently some of them tried to kill Nobunaga, but each time they failed. The situation of the ninja turned out to be so catastrophic that professional killers were forced to earn extra money as ordinary soldiers.

Young ninjas were trained in medicine and herbal knowledge to create medicine or poison. They were taught to stay underwater for long periods, breathe through straws, and climb rocks and rooftops.
