	Ninja - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the lesser known contributions made by ninja is their involvement in furthering the research of fireworks as a result of their development of pyrotechnic weaponry.
		Ninja had many rules and the most important rule is of keeping the secret of ninja themselves and of the daimyo who gave them the order.
		These "ninja looters" loot items swiftly and with minimal attention being drawn to themselves (hence the name) and are generally shunned by other characters for their nefarious deeds.

	Sword
		Before imparting to his pupils the training of the ninja's iai sword drawing techniques, the master gave them a warning to this effect: You must never draw your sword against an attacker except when your life is at stake or you are going to protect something more important than your life.
		The ninja ken (shinobigatana) or short sword, had a short, single-edged blade that was particularly useful for close-quarter combat.
		And because it was short, the shinobigatana could be easily carried, especially in areas where the cunning ninja were most often to be found: in narrow corridors and alleyways, in tight crawl spaces, up among the tangle of branches of trees or down in a trough or a hollowed-out log.

	Sword Forum International - Ninja swords...
		I heard somewhere that the ninja straight sword was a myth, and that the ninja used the three standard samurai sowrds (katana, wakazashi, and tanto) like everyone else of that era.
		Because Ninja were thought of as lower then the eta, and even lower then the horse, i believe that regarding there specialist tactics as assasination squads or spy's, they used Katana's or even better Wakizashi's, because they didn't want to draw attention.
		True, a Ninja's sword would likely not be preserved due to its symbolic effect, but modern day JSA associated with Ninja don't use a straight blade, they use shorter katana with shallower sori at best, but not the musori one everyone is so familiar with.

		Other ninja and samurai (snickers, picturing the so-called 'honourable' samurai in fear of the ninja, the shadows capable of and willing to sneak up on the Japanese knights to kill them), and perhaps some strictly Japanese mythological creatures wouldn't have gone astray, but oh well.
		It should also be remembered that the /original/ Ninja koryu clans had no high quality sword steel and indeed to have such a weapon in one's possession would be an instant death penalty offense for both owner and registered swordsmith.
