Shinobi

Its been just over a week now and the powerful array of sedatives and pain killers can cage ones thirst for knowledge no more.

Today, we take a look at the ninja or shinobi as I like to call them, which literally means"one who moves in secrecy". For you old school gamers out there and those who had the pleasure of owning a Sega mastersystem 2 console, the name "Shinobi" may ring a bell as one of the classic games along side "Alex the kid" and "Radical Racers",

Anyway the shinobi  were assassins, trained in the Japanese art of ninjutsu (roughly translated as 'the art of stealth'). Ninja, like samurai, followed their own special code of conduct, called ninpo. According to some modern practitioners of ninjutsu, the ninja's specialty was not assassination but rather espionage. They also dont believe in beds, sleeping on only a woven mat on the floor
