Welcome. You are in a time long ago, maybe in the 12-11 hundreds,before Columbus discovered America. Imagine a group of black-clothed people going north, toward Russia. The leader, called a ninja master, seems a little sneaky. see how he leads the people against rocks, trees, or any other obstacle? Well, you can't blame him. He is leading his men far away, into Russia, to ask the king to send men to help fight the Sumarai . But, why do they have small, black, ripped cloth around their bodies? The answer is simple. Look at the rocks around them. Those rocks look alot like the nearly completely covered men and women, right? GOOD! Yes, the cloth resembles stones. Remember the Sumarai I talked about? They were cruel, ghastly acting men. They hated China, I mean...hated the people IN China.Especially Ninjas, who were warriors in China. Ninjas were the lowest of the low Chinese. They captured the Ninjas and cruelly put them to death, slowly stabbing them to death, or slowly cutting off parts of their bodies. Usually toe to head. The Ninjas were sly, quick, and strong. But, they slept during the day, to be able to walk by night, where their cloth resembled the darkness. See? The cloth had several uses.
Ninjas were littarally called non-humans because they were so low.
The Sumarai were very 'religous', worshiping as many as 200 gods! Would that be confusing for you? It would be for me! Aren't you glad for the one true God that cares for us? Because they were so cruel, the Ninjas hated religous stuff. Sometimes when a Ninja would repent, The others would kill them, because the Sumarai were religous, so they wanted to destroy all religin. The sumarai's bamboo armour was so thick, that they could not run! They made stronger weopons because of that. Their bamboo knives and swords were sharper that a Ninja's sword. That is why the people trained in Ninjatsu needed to be able to dodge so quickly! Anyway, The Ninjas could dodge fast enough to dodge a musket bullet if it was shot 100-200 feet away.
Contrary to what you see on the shows, they NEVER clasped swords to block an attack. For, they were so flimsy, they would break!
Well, that is all for now!
TTYL!
