the shinobi's only strength is stealth..and speed..

Samurais are worthless with out there sword cause they rely to much on it but a Ninja isn't just speed and stealth they train in many forms so they souldn't depend totally on there swords to protect them. Which is why what your saying doesn't make anysense to me samurais do learn akido but even today aikido can't with stand Ninjustue thats been a fact for who knows how long. Then again it also depends on how skilled they are in it.
