Ninjutsu

"Just because I used a sword, do you thinked I will followed some ridiculous principles of pride, chivalry and honor as you had? I am not a knight nor am I a samurai. I am a ninja, ninjas used every means necessary to strike down their enemies regardless of principles, morality and honour."

- Jellal Nightwalker "Ninjutsu was originally designed for guerrilla warfare, emphasizing deception, trickery, ambush, sabotage and most of all pragmatism. Despite its various changes through time, its emphasis on pragmatism alone has never changed."

- Issei Hyodou (Highschool DxD) "A samurai would never sneak or cheat. A samurai would never assassinate. A samurai would never sabotage. But a ninja would sneak up and stab you in the back!"

- Stick (Marvel Comics)
