A Ninja was a covert agent or mercenary of feudal Japan specializing in unorthodox arts of war. The functions of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination, as well as open combat in certain situations. The ninja, using covert methods of waging war, were contrasted with the samurai, who had strict rules about honor and combat. In his Buke Myōmokushō, military historian Hanawa Hokinoichi writes of the ninja:
“ | They travelled in disguise to other territories to judge the situation of the enemy, they would inveigle their way into the midst of the enemy to discover gaps, and enter enemy castles to set them on fire, and carried out assassinations, arriving in secret. |
Sun Tzu's The Art of War
Chapter 1: Laying Plans Point 18: "All Warfare is based on Deception."
Chapter 2: Waging War Point 6 and 19 "There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare." "In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns." (Strike swiftly and decisively)
Chapter 5: Energy Point 15: "Energy may be likened to the bending of a crossbow; decision, to the releasing of a trigger."
"Chapter 7: Maneuvering Point 19: "Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt."
What one sees isn't necessarily what is reality. But many times people are easily lead to see what they want to believe.
