Ninja introduction:
Fuma Kotaro: The leader of the Xiangzhou Ranpa Ninja Legion based on Hakone Mountain. It is said that Fuma Ryu is the ninja army of the Odawara Hojo clan and has more than 200 ninjas. Its leader, Kotaro, was born in Ashikaga Shimo-gun, Sagami. His real name was Kazama. He was a giant with a height of seven feet and two inches (about 216cm). During the battle with the Koshu Takeda clan, he personally sneaked into the Takeda headquarters and set fire to cause chaos. Takeda also issued a wanted order for Fuuma, but to no avail. Later, Hojo declined. The wind demons of the Edo period were still engaged in an unyielding struggle with their old enemy, the Tokugawa family. In the eighth year of Qingchang (1603), Kotaro was arrested due to a whistleblower, and was later burned at the stake, and Fuma was destroyed. In addition, Kotaro is also a quite famous character in Japanese comics.
Ishikawa Goemon: The leader of a group of thieves centered in Kinai during the Warring States Period. Because he stole the Chidori Incense Burner held by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the angry Hideyoshi ordered the Kyoto Governor Gen'i to arrest him. In the 3rd year of Bunroku (1594), he was executed in Sanjo River, Kyoto. Rumor has it that he is a ninja under Tanba's sect, Iga Momochi. There are various sources of birthplace including Iga Province (Mie Prefecture), Kawachi Province (Osaka Prefecture), and Hamamatsu (Shizuoka Prefecture). Among them, there is a place called Tango. What remains in Tango's records is that he was the second son of Ishikawa Hidemon, the elder of the daimyo Isshiki family. After becoming a thief, he changed his original name from Gorozaemon to Ishikawa Goemon.
Hattori Hanzo: one of the Sixteen Tokugawa Generals. His real name is Ishimi Mori Masashige, and he is commonly known as "Dahanzo". Iga Jonin. During the incident at Honnoji Temple, he assisted Ieyasu in realizing the "Iga Time Travel". After returning to Mikawa, he became the ninja leader of the Tokugawa family. Most of the ninjas under his command are very active in information collection and espionage activities. Hanzo himself is not so much a ninja as he is a capable combat commander under Tokugawa Ieyasu who is good at marksmanship. The current "Hanzomon" in Tokyo was named because it was his house.
The third Taifu of Momomo Momomo of Momochi Tanba: His name is Shosai. It is also said to be a hereditary title, but it is not certain. Iga Ryuukou is the head of one of the three Iga jounin families, one hundred families. After Hattori Baochang came to Beijing, he became the real power in Iga. In September of the seventh year of Tensho (1579), Oda attacked Iga for the first time, and Momochi Tanba commanded the ninja to fight. In this battle, the enemy general Saburo Zaemon was killed, and Oda was defeated. In September of the ninth year, he served as a military advisor during the Iga Rebellion and fought with the people against Oda Nobuo's 44,000 troops, and died heroically in battle. Some say that he is a disciple of the ninjutsu expert Momochi Santafu who taught the great thief Ishikawa Goemon ninjutsu, while others say that he is actually Momochi Santafu.
Ninja narrative:
The origin of ninja can be traced back to the seventh century AD, and after a long period of time (as long as the tenth century) it developed to its peak. During this time, ninjas formed various schools (Musashi, Kai, Echigo, Shinano, Iga, Koga, and Kii), with the three schools of Iga, Koga, and Kii being the most developed. Speaking of Iga and Koga, they were actually not separated until the Muromachi and Warring States periods. During these two hundred years, the place names were separated, so the schools gradually dispersed. However, although the schools are separate, the classics of ninja training are the same book. We call this book "Wanchuan Jihai". This book has all the theoretical foundations and skills to teach ninjas how to perform ninjutsu. (This book will be discussed in detail below) Why are the ninjutsu of Iga and Koga so developed?
I think the most critical factor is the terrain: Iga and Koga are very far away from Kyoto and Nagoya. Nearby, it is located in a small closed basin surrounded by mountains and dangers, forming a world of its own. But its strategic position is very important. Because it is close to the central Kinki area of ??Japan, it is deeply influenced by Kyoto culture, and there are many shrines, temples, and manors. Later, when the manor system collapsed, local tycoons emerged one after another. During the Warring States Period, there were more than sixty local tyrants in this narrow land. However, because the territory was very small, everyone wanted to seize each other's land, so each family would raise about thirty or forty soldiers to deal with the "enemy country" ". The competition here is fiercer than outsiders imagine. The local tycoons form alliances with each other, explore each other's enemies, and sometimes kill each other.
Once the local tycoons who were attacked here fall, it will be difficult for them to make a comeback. It is no wonder that such a place with mountains and fierce battles will become the base camp for the development of ninjutsu. Over time, a balance developed among the various wealthy individuals, providing a relatively peaceful environment for the research and development of ninjutsu. Then Ninjutsu also began to be famous throughout the country.
Ninjas were generally born from peasants, not noble samurai. Ninjutsu mountain ambush skills, mountain combat experience from living in Yamato, Kurama, Nerai, Yoshino, and Iga.
Kyoto is the birthplace of the magic used in ninjutsu (Onmyodo, which is what Anpai Seimei is good at), because not far away there are Mount Higas and Koya, the main mountains of Buddhist esoteric Buddhism. The martial arts aspect of ninjutsu comes from the Yagyu style sword school and the Hohoin style spear style. Ninjutsu is passed down from generation to generation by ninja families. Among the various schools, there is a strict hierarchy similar to that found in my country's youth gangs in the 1930s and 1940s. The highest-ranking ninja is called a "jounin" and can command a faction or be the overlord of a party. (Just like the Fuma in Taiko No. 4 Middle School) There are many "chunin" under him, and each chunin manages a small group composed of thirty or forty "genin". The chuunin is responsible for conveying the orders of the jounin and reporting the situation of the genin to the jounin, acting as a bridge. Genin are the lowest level of ninjas and are the ones who carry out missions.
Surprisingly, there are foreigners among ninjas too. At that time, a large number of masters from China and Korea who made pottery, armor, and clothing came to Japan. Many of them later settled in Kyoto, and some moved to nearby Iga or Koga to work. In addition, there are also many naturalized people (similar to political asylum or fleeing famine) who settled in Japan, were assimilated into Japanese, and changed their surnames to Japanese surnames. (It is said that Hattori Hanzo was a naturalized person. His family was originally Chinese, with a surname of Qin, and later settled in Japan. In order to live in harmony with the local people, he changed his surname to Hattori.) In addition, the technologies introduced by naturalized people, such as gunpowder, were also It was introduced to Japan, so Japan has a gunpowder production area very early. Other craftsmen also took root here, such as craftsmen making handicrafts, buskers playing dolls, etc. Therefore, the Iga and Koga areas have become gathering places for all kinds of craftsmen, so that in the future, ninjas can use their identities as folk craftsmen to carry out espionage work. Among them, the most commonly used identities are Noriza (a practicing monk) and a puppet maker. It can be seen that the social status of ninjas was not high at that time.
Ninjas are often medical experts and martial artists, and they are good at using weapons and hidden weapons. You can walk quietly in the swamp and hold your breath in the water for five or six minutes (with special tools you can even stay underwater for a day and night). Their superhuman abilities were acquired through hard training since childhood. Ninja families, regardless of gender, must inherit the profession of their ancestors, and they generally begin training at the age of five. (The enviable images of ninjas we see in movies and television have all been tempered.) Although ninjas are extremely capable, they sometimes fail, and the price paid for failure is life. It is said that during the Warring States Period, a ninja braved the scorching summer heat to sneak into the floor of a daimyo's residence and eavesdrop on the secret conversations of the feudal lords. But in the evening, he was discovered by a samurai, who pierced the floor with a spear and killed the ninja hiding underneath. It turned out that mosquitoes were biting around Ninja in the summer. Although Ninja didn't make any sound, the buzzing mosquitoes revealed his whereabouts. The most famous daimyo who uses ninja is Takeda Shingen. His favorite thing is to drive the ninjas he trained into action (they call them Ranbo. Or Sanshou, which is a name for the Takeda family ninjas. Sanshou is the general name for Maami, Katata, and Mesuke. These people are espionage experts. Takeda Shingen sent Tomita Gozaemon to give orders to these ninjas.
). The chaos came from homeless vagrants or bandit groups in places such as Ko, Shin, and Etsu. After Takeda Shingen organized them, he taught them mountain warfare and other fighting methods. In this way, they became ninjas. The ones who spent the most training time were only A few years. (It is almost the same as crash training) Such ninjas can easily become victims because of insufficient training time, so they are also a kind of cannon fodder.
Introduction to the scroll method:
Wanchuanjihai scroll:
***There are ten volumes. The first volume is an introduction to ninjas, a historical review, Content index and questions and answers, which embody the tenets of the ninja, admonishing them to remember that when a leader can truly guide the psychology of his subordinates, no matter how many enemies they are, they can be defeated. If his subordinates do not agree with his ideas, he will definitely lose. (The embodiment of Sun Tzu's art of war, that is, a low-level discussion of the art of war) "Wanchuan Jihai" also emphasizes that ninjutsu is the most effective method in military strategy.
The second volume mainly discusses the sincerity, motivation, and morality that ninjas must possess. Because many moves in ninjutsu are considered immoral, the professional ethics of ninjas must be emphasized. Real ninjas only act according to their own will and never require collective action. Therefore, ninjas pay attention to fighting one against a hundred and giving full play to their individual abilities. Maximum potential.
The third volume summarizes various methods of managing ninja organizations and utilizing ninjas' functions. He mentioned that he should consider preventing hostile organizations from infiltrating his own organization, talked about some counter-reconnaissance content, and emphasized that ninjas should not interact with each other. Only the leader can bring everyone together.
The fourth volume is mainly about the "light side" of ninjutsu, that is, the bright part of ninja energy. If a ninja uses the power of his intellect and creative thinking, he can gain information without physical exertion. The ninja can know the enemy's intentions without joining the battle. His methods include:
1. Have a relatively comprehensive understanding of the enemy forces (know yourself and the enemy in Sun Tzu's Art of War). 2. Before the war begins, it is necessary to understand the strategy of the enemy forces. 3 Have a full understanding of the geographical conditions of the hostile forces. 4
Conduct reconnaissance on enemy numbers, equipment and other information. 5. Have a clear understanding of the enemy's movements.
Volume five, six, and seven are all about the "dark side" of ninjutsu, that is, the dark side of ninja skills. Ninjas can use deception, confusion tactics, intimidation and other means to cause confusion in their enemies. These methods were despised by samurai of that era. They considered them to be despicable and cowardly. However, ninjas relied on disguises, night attacks, sneaking inside and capturing enemy leaders or instigating key enemy figures to betray to achieve their victory. These three volumes] The story is about how ninjas use this method to win.
The eighth volume describes how ninjas take advantage of the surrounding environment. This information includes weather forecasts, high and low tides, and the waxing and waning of the moon. Use constellations to determine orientation, etc.
Volume 9 details the tools of the ninja, including a series of tools that allow the ninja to move around steep walls, trees, cliffs, and boats. Some tools provide convenience for crossing rivers or moving underwater, while others are specially designed for ninjas to secretly enter buildings, warehouses, etc. There are tools for opening locks and breaking through walls.
The last volume is the use of gunpowder. It explains how to make bombs, smoke bombs, medicines, ecstasy, poisons, etc., but these records are written in regional Japanese dialects, making translating it complicated and difficult even for anyone familiar with ancient Japanese languages. thing. For example, local plants are called by local nicknames, which makes it impossible to understand what they are literally.
Ninja weapons:
Equipment
Ninja weapons used by ninjas are divided into five categories: climbing weapons, water weapons, open weapons, firearms, and concealed weapons.
Climbing equipment is the equipment used by ninjas when climbing, including: knotted ladders, cloud ladders, high ladders, stacked ladders, hooks, long rainfly flying, ninja sticks, dragon climbs, spider ladders, iron detectors, and kunai , hook ladders, rolling ladders, and fifteen types of cloud ladders.

The most common ninja weapons are "shuriken", "ninja sword", "gauntlet" and "smoke bomb". These are the basic equipment of ninjas. They usually go out to "commit crimes". None of these things can be missing.
There are three types of shuriken. In addition to the dart-shaped shuriken, there are also chopper shuriken and sickle shuriken. The chopstick shuriken looks like chopsticks, the katana shuriken looks like a sickle without a handle, and the ordinary shuriken can be divided into stick-shaped, flat-shaped, etc. depending on the shape.
Ninja swords are also called "ninja swords". They are mostly short swords with a length of less than 60 centimeters. The blades are wide and heavy. They are mainly straight swords (different from samurai swords). When performing tasks Ninja swords are also often used as climbing aids. In addition, its sheath can be used as a breathing tool and eavesdropping tool during water spider magic.
Introduction to Ninja Techniques:
1. Escape Techniques
I heard that there are five escape techniques. But I only found two kinds
1.1 The Escape Curse. Cover your mouth and nose with your lower arm. Then calm down and recite the "Escape Mantra" silently in your heart, so that others will gradually no longer feel your breath. , can finally achieve the effect of invisibility...
Note that the pronunciation of the invisibility spell comes from ancient Indian language
1.2 Escape method is a method of hiding oneself and then escaping. Deceiving as perfectly as a magician is the key to success.
Wood Escape Technique
A method of using vegetation to hide people’s ears and eyes, and then escape.
Earth Escape Technique
Use terrain, earth and rocks, and stealth to escape.
"The art of throwing wood, stone and water into the water"
The term is very mysterious, but it is actually very simple. It is to throw a piece of wood, stone or earth away somewhere else or into the water, and make a sound to attract the attention of the enemy. The method of using force and then escaping in an instant.
2. Qi Detection Technique
You can check the Qi of heaven, earth and people. In short, it is to keep your senses sharp, pay more attention to the weather and wind direction changes (sky), and then pay more attention to the ground The sound made by objects. You must also be able to clearly detect the breath of people. In fact, this should be common sense to veterans on the battlefield, because people who often fight can detect how many objects are in the distance as long as they hear the thrum of horseshoes on the ground. The enemy, or seeing the vegetation shaking, guesses there might be an ambush there...
3. Pseudo-sounding technique
. It is to be able to imitate many animals, insects, or The shaking of branches and various other sounds are also a necessary tool to deceive the enemy. In ancient China, some people could imitate dogs, so that they could trick the enemy into relaxing their defense and steal the enemy's important guarded items.
4. Battlefield strategy
The art of dispersion: usually used during night attacks. Can be divided
Method of expression: taking advantage of the darkness of night, our ninjas mix into the enemy and set fire to cause chaos.
The method of leaving the base soldiers: Our ninjas take advantage of the darkness to sneak into the enemy soldiers.
The method: Our ninjas take advantage of the darkness to sneak into the enemy soldiers before our night attack, and then Shouting that an enemy is coming. In addition, there is the Iga Valley entry technique passed down by Kusunoki Masashige and Masauki father and son.
Ninjutsu textbook \"Manchuan Jike\"
Original Before the Yamato people's Eastern Expedition, Iga and Koka were not separated. They were both called IGA. Later, because the place names were separated during the Muromachi and Warring States periods during the two hundred years, the schools gradually separated. However, Although the streams are separate, the classics of ninja training are the same book. This book is called "Wanchuan Jihai". This book has all the theoretical basis and skills to teach ninjas how to perform ninjutsu
The Ohara Family’s Mankawa Collection (Ninja Book)
The only historical evidence of the Koka-ryu ninja legacy in Koka Town should be the Ohara Family’s Ninja Book titled “Mankawa Collection” ocean". This is a comprehensive collection of Koga-ryu ninjutsu, with 22 volumes.
This is a copy. The original version was presented to the shogun (the 11th generation Jiaqi) in the first year of Kansei (1789) and is kept in the Imperial Palace Cabinet Library. This ninja book covers the art of war, Buddhism, and Confucianism. It is a thoughtful and systematic ninjutsu textbook. In the era of Shikagami, the local tycoons organized their own armies to build forts and castles to resist foreign enemies. At that time, there were 53 such tycoons, who combined into the Koka Samurai Order. The samurai farmed in peacetime and went into battle during wars. They had the characteristics of part-time workers and peasants. Due to their weak military strength, they developed special ninjutsu tactics. The special terrain of mountains, hills and valleys is a good environment for ninja training. The wealthy families in Koka Town that are related to the Koka sect are the Wada clan (descendants of Minamoto Manmasa), the Saji clan (descendants of Tairasada Mori), the Ohara, Ban, and Ueno clans (descendants of Otomo) among the 21 families in Koka. Celebrity Descendants. The second volume of Wanchuan Jihai said that "the foundation of Fu Ninjutsu is the integrity of the heart, and the integrity of the heart is the maintenance of benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and trustworthiness." Therefore, the foundation of ninjutsu is to keep your mind straight, which is also the spirit of the Koga samurai.
Overview of Ninjutsu: There are two types of Ninjutsu: Yang Ninja and Yin Ninja. Ninjas of different schools will have certain differences in the training of Yang Ninja and Yin Ninja. Ninjutsu martial arts require ninjas to have first-class skills in swordsmanship, archery, equestrianism, jujitsu, foot skills, body balance, and poison dart placement. But the most demanding martial skill is the famous stealth and flight technique. Hidden Technique, in fact, there is no real invisibility technique. It is just that the hands and feet are trained to be extremely sensitive, and the ability to jump and run is very strong. Before anyone notices him, the ninja has disappeared in a flash. In fact, it is achieved through long-term practice of jumping, grabbing, climbing and crossing. Because of the mysterious actions and hidden whereabouts of ninjutsu masters, people also call ninjutsu "ghost arts" and "invisible arts".
Ninjutsu particularly emphasizes spiritual practice and systematizes the entire training, making it based on unimaginable spiritual practice.
In ancient times, as a descendant of a ninja family, as soon as he was born, he had to accept the cruel reality of fate - become a ninja, or die. And from a very young age, they have been indoctrinated with the idea of ????loyalty to their masters to the death. Except for their masters, they will not even listen to the words of the emperor. The master's orders, no matter what they are, undoubtedly mean the ninja's orders. Action, filial piety and loyalty to the master, and dedicating everything to the master are the supreme honor for the ninja. In addition, the ninja will no longer have any thoughts. Due to the deep implantation of this feudal concept, the ninja is more powerful than the ninja. Any religious believer is more fanatical and fearless.
Of course, mechanical indoctrination alone creates only beasts that charge forward, not an invincible superman. Ninjutsu does not stop there. It has a set of practical and powerful mental strength training methods. This technique is the secret of ninjutsu.
Training
If you want to become a real ninja, you must undergo special training that is close to physical torture from an early age. For a long time, ninjutsu has only been passed down secretly from generation to generation in ninja families, and it is difficult for the outside world to know its details. Ninjutsu training requirements must begin at the age of five. All ninja family members, regardless of gender, must unconditionally inherit this family professional tradition (ninjutsu training). In terms of ninjutsu training content, the basic training mainly includes balance, Five aspects: agility, strength, durability and special skills.
1. Balance training: Start by walking on the bamboo pole until you can stand on the round bamboo pole without slipping; raise the bamboo pole about three feet above the ground, continue walking on the bamboo pole until you can move freely; continue to increase height The height of the bamboo pole reaches a height of thirty or forty feet. At this point, the body is not afraid of heights, and can flip and jump as if walking on flat ground. Only with this kind of balance ability can one walk on roofs, walls and trees like flying.
2. Agility training: Training starts from an early age, and more special training for agility is carried out, such as jumping over a rope full of blades, and doing dangerous obstacle runs later in the training. There are many dangerous obstacles along the way. If your body skills are slightly ineffective or your reflexes are slightly insensitive, you will be injured by obstacles. Therefore, the sensitivity requirements for ninjutsu are very strict.
3. Endurance training: The endurance training of Ninjutsu is divided into two methods: static and dynamic. The static training method: hang your hands on the tree to support the whole body, and the ground is full of hidden weapons, requiring the practitioner to never let go and jump down; the dynamic training method uses basic long-distance running skills and requires the endurance to run five or six thousand miles.
An excellent ninjutsu master, plus jumping, can run more than 150 miles a day (a standard marathon every day).
4. Strength training: Ninjutsu strength training strives to maximize the strength of the human body and uses many training methods. In addition to regular training, ninjutsu also includes a variety of "strange power training" through which ninjas can further hone their will, endurance, survival ability, etc. This kind of strange strength training, such as not being able to eat for several days, killing one's own companions, and fighting with beasts, is an unimaginable hell-like training.
5. Comprehensive combat skills training: After practicing basic skills, you must practice espionage skills, combat skills, outdoor survival skills, strategic applications, and learn a considerable amount of chemical knowledge
Special aspects of Ninjutsu martial arts There are many types of skill training: such as diving breath-holding, hand-to-hand combat, kendo, hidden weapons, makeup, medicine, poisoning and detoxification, hearing and smell training... and you must have a high level of hunger and thirst tolerance for survival in the wild.
In addition to flight and invisibility, distributing hidden weapons is also one of the unique skills of ninjutsu. Ninjutsu hidden weapons are mostly poison darts and copper coins (edge ??edge), but also keys, hooks, chisels, etc. Ninjutsu concealed weapons are widely used, and throwing poison-quenching copper coins is a skill that every ninjutsu master should possess. In addition, along with "flying technique" and "hidden weapon creation", there is also "poison and detoxification technique" known as the "Three Ninjutsu". All Ninjutsu masters are good at this.
Makeup is a specialty of ninjas. They can make fake human skin faces and change genders. Someone did an experiment where a ninja was asked to walk through the crowd and several people identified it. The result was that everyone saw different things, including height, short, fat, and thin. The ninja was truly a "man with a thousand faces." There is also the art of concealment. The ninja suddenly disappeared in broad daylight as mentioned at the beginning of this article. The ninja dug a hole in the forest in advance. The hole was covered with grass ash and the outside of the hole was covered with dead grass. When he rushed into the woods , jumped into the hole in the ground, silently. The pursuer lost his target and thought he really had "invisibility".
Through ninjutsu training, ninjas can acquire perseverance, endurance, combat effectiveness dozens of times that of ordinary people, and can achieve a high degree of concentration.
Ninja’s food: The food that ninjas eat is mainly low-calorie and non-obese foods. Ninjas often lift rice bags with heavy objects in the air with their thumb and index finger to maintain their weight. It is very important. If a ninja cannot keep his weight below 60KG, he cannot hang himself from the ceiling just by relying on the strength of his thumb and index finger. Therefore, the food in the ninja's daily life plays an important role in his fighting and lurking. The role of.
1 Tree seeds
Sunflower seeds: rich in vitamin B, iron, and dietary fiber. They are Ninja’s weight loss food
Pine nuts: also known as Immortal elixir, containing iron and rich vitamin E, can enhance the ninja's exercise capacity and accelerate metabolism
Pumpkin seeds: rich in fat, can replenish the body's vitality, eliminate inflammation, disinfect and relieve pain and insect bites
Hazelnuts: rich in a variety of organic acids, have a good effect on strengthening physical strength, and are effective in treating loss of appetite, physical weakness, and headaches
Lycium barbarum: has been considered to have medicinal properties since ancient times It has the effect of immortality. When combined with other medicines, it can treat high blood pressure, liver disease, anemia, and lumbar muscle strain. The leaves can also be soaked in water and drunk
Wine
Wolfberry wine: 1 liter Fruit wine medicine is soaked into wine, 150g of dried wolfberry, 200g of white sugar and a little honey, sealed for about 2 months before drinking, which can achieve the effect of longevity and strong bones.
Aloe vera wine: 1 liter of fruit wine medicine Soak into wine, 300g of aloe leaves, 200g of white sugar, seal and store for one month before drinking. It can enhance gastrointestinal function and treat constipation. Limoncello: 1 liter of fruit wine medicine, 1kg of lemon, 200~300 of white sugar, lemon
Limoncello: 1 liter of fruit wine brewed into wine, 1kg lemon, 200~300 white sugar, the lemon needs to be peeled and soaked for about a month before drinking. It has the same effect as plum wine from the Tokugawa ninja era. Achieve the effect of restoring fatigue.
Ninjutsu theory: The theoretical basis of Ninjutsu is derived from Sun Tzu's Art of War passed from China to Japan, and then developed by adding training methods and ambush techniques in the mountains. During the Heian period, due to the rise of the samurai class, the art of ambush in the mountains was developed by samurai. During the Genpei era, Minamoto Yoshitsune, who learned to ambush in the mountains, successfully used the ambush techniques in the mountains and completed the theory of attack surface warfare. .During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Kusunoki Masashige developed the defensive art of war. At the same time, ninjutsu and martial arts were separated into different systems.
Most ninjas came from peasants, rather than noble-born samurai. Ninjutsu mountain ambush skills, mountain warfare experience from Yamato, Yoshino, Kurama, Nerai, and Iga. Kyoto is the birthplace of Onmyodo, the magic technique used in ninjutsu, because there are Buddhist esoteric schools such as Hiei and Takano not far away. The martial arts of ninjutsu come from the Yagyu style sword school and the Hohoin style spear style.
Ninjutsu schools: There are many schools in the ninja world, such as Sarutobi, Hagakure, Rakshasa, Flying Chan, Fuma, Shinano, Musashi, Echigo Takada, Shinano, Kii and so on. In its heyday, there were said to be more than a hundred.
Among them, the most famous ones are the Iga-ryu in Iga Province (now Mie Prefecture, Japan) and the Koga-ryu in Koga County (now southern Shiga Prefecture, Japan). The birthplace of ninjas in Koga County, Shiga Prefecture, Japan was called "Shikafuka" a long time ago. These two places have been the hometowns of ninjas since ancient times. There are many ninjutsu masters there, with strong fighting power and nearly fifty types of schools. The well-known strong ninjas such as Hattori Hanzo and Momochi Tanba all came from here.
In addition to the two major groups of Iga and Koka, places such as Zaga, Ise, Kai and Suzuka are also famous places where ninjutsu talents emerge in large numbers.
Ninjutsu Holy Land: Iga and Koga are very close to Kyoto and Nagoya, and they are located in a small closed basin surrounded by mountains and dangers. They form a small world of their own. However, their strategic positions are very important. It is important. Because it is close to the Kinki area in the center of Japan, it is deeply influenced by the culture of Kyoto. There are many shrines, temples, and manors. Later, when the manor system collapsed, local tycoons emerged one after another. In the Warring States Period, so There are actually 60 rich people in a small land, but because the land is very small, everyone wants to seize each other's land, so each family will probably raise 30-40 soldiers to deal with the "enemy country" (this is very similar During the land reclamation era in Taiwan, the fighting between Hokkien villages for land was somewhat similar to the fighting between Hokkien residents). The competition here was fiercer than outsiders imagined. The local tyrants formed alliances with each other, probed each other's enemies, and also Killing each other, once the local tycoons are defeated, it is difficult to get up again. It is no wonder that such a place with mountains and fierce battles will become the base camp for the development of ninjutsu. Over time, the tycoons will slow down among themselves. A balance slowly developed, and then Ninjutsu began to become the best in the country.
