Ninja
A ninja (忍者) or shinobi (忍び) was a covert agent or mercenary in feudal Japan. The functions of the ninja included: espionage, sabotage, infiltration, assassination and guerrilla warfare. Their covert methods of waging irregular warfare were deemed "dishonorable" and "beneath" the samurai-caste, who observed strict rules about honor and combat. The shinobi proper, a specially trained group of spies and mercenaries, appeared in the Sengoku or "warring states" period, in the 15th century, but antecedents may have existed in the 14th century, and possibly in the 12th century (Heian or early Kamakura era).
In the unrest of the Sengoku period (15th–17th centuries), mercenaries and spies for hire became active in the Iga Province and the adjacent area around the village of Kōga, and it is from the area's clans that much of our knowledge of the ninja is drawn. Following the unification of Japan under the Tokugawa shogunate (17th century), the ninja faded into obscurity. A number of shinobi manuals, often based on Chinese military philosophy, were written in the 17th and 18th centuries, most notably the Bansenshukai (1676).
Ninja (Dungeons & Dragons)
The ninja is a playable character class in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.
Publication history
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition (1977-1988)
The ninja class appeared in the original 1st edition Oriental Adventures book. In a review of the book, reviewer Ashley Shepherd commented: "The ninja is a class that everybody has had a go at designing. The 'official' version is the most satisfactory yet. It is not a whole character class, but a split class available only with one of the other new classes, and weaker than you might suppose, with fewer hit points, skill restrictions, and the possibility that the whole ninja clan might hunt you down if you fail in your appointed mission."Jim Bambra also commented on the ninja: "To be a ninja, a character must qualify for one of the 'normal' classes as well as that of the ninja class. In keeping with their secret nature, ninja use their normal class as a cover identity. They may adventure with other characters, but they must be careful to keep their ninja identities secret, as loss of honor (and sudden death) may occur if the PC is unmasked."
Ninja (playground game)
Ninja is a common playground game, where the objective is to take turns swiping at the opponent's hands to eliminate them. The name originates from the feudal Japanese assassin. It is commonly played at meet-ups and conventions.
Rules and gameplay
The rules of ninja are simple, and have only a few pivotal rules for play. In a game, players will stand in a circle, and place their hands together, the player leading the game will say "Bow to your sensei". There, the countdown begins, and each player must strike a pose. Players take turns attacking their opponents by swiping at their hands , and must freeze in place once their attack is finished. Defending players may dodge if they think they will be hit, and must also freeze once the attack is finished. If a player is hit, the hand that is hit is out but the other hand is still in. If a player misses, they must stop moving immediately. When both hands have been hit, the player is out and must stand back until there is one player left. The only player left is the winner. However, there have been variations to how children play the game, some exercise optional rules such as, the area that is hit, timed attacks or however the players want to change the game.

Ninja
by: PixikillHere we stand, face to face
Is this a trap, is this a game
You think I’m young, think you’re insane
I guess it’s good you are the one for me
You’re really good, I can’t complain
You get me back again and again
Yeah this could hurt, this could be wrong
But if it was we wouldn’t get along
Why do I feel like a ninja every time I fight my way through
One, two, three, love, love, love, love
I was overtaken by you
Why do I feel like I’m failing every time I step into
My want to be love, love, love, loved
By you
You held my hand, thought it was sweet
It was well played- done innocently
Thought we were cool, getting away
You said everything I loved to hear you say
What’s on your mind, when you’re with me
You have no clue how I wish you could see
Yeah, we get on, like it’s all fine
But here’s the truth, I just wanna call you mine
Why do I feel like a ninja every time I fight my way through
One, two, three, love, love, love, love
I was overtaken by you
Why do I feel like I’m failing every time I step into
My want to be love, love, love, loved
By you
Why do I feel like a ninja every time I fight my way through
One, two, three, love, love, love, love
I was overtaken by you
Why do I feel like I’m failing every time I step into
My want to be love, love, love, loved
