« Ninja Thanksgiving: You Know You’re a Ninja If…
The Ningin Japan-a-thon: iPhone to Robot Remote/ Human Destroyer »

Lately, we’ve been reflecting a lot on the things in life that are most dear to us. Things in life we are most thankful for and things we genuinely appreciate. Given that it’s Thanksgiving week and it is still indeed, Ninja Month, we’ve all come to the conclusion that all of us at Ningin, Rekuru and Wirebot are thankful for the same thing: Ninjas. Believe it or not, ninjas happen to be our driving force in life. Key figures we look up to, even! We’re also very thankful for you. To express our gratitude, I present to you the Ninja Thanksgiving Special.

Ninjas drunk on gin! (FTW)


^ haha nice, i was wondering what the gin part meant XD JK


WOAH, looks like an extremely busy week!


Oh yes. This week is ALL about ninjas.


LOL.
I wish I was a ninja. . . :(


Yes! Ninja it all week!!!


Origins of the Ninja:

Of all the origins I’ve studied, the most popular reason why Ninjas existed, was because The Samurai took away the small farms and land that they had to live off of. Being that they were poor and had only farming tools, they had to come up with some way to take back what was theirs. Then the trade of the Ninjutsu, was handed down from some ancient practitioners in China, where it finally landed in Japan and taught in secret. Thus led a Koga and Iga ninja clan. The Ninja turned their farming tools into weapons, and they assassinated the Samurai leader to take back their land. This lead to hatred of the Ninja, and they were forced to continue fighting as Ninja.

So thats the lore that I have. Ninjutsu schools actually exist down in my area and are true to functionality of it, down to the acrobatic movement and hand to hand combat.


I’m pretty glad this week is based on Ninjas. It’s a proud thing for this website to grow XD!

I’m definitely a ninja!

@DannyTruong:  Yeah, in my research I found a lot of different theories regarding the origins of ninjas and I have to say the peasant one makes the most sense.


@JinraIlustrisimo:  Yes, Ninjatown is very very cute!


I don’t even know how some ppl think pirates can beat ninjas…
