Comparing Navy Seals to the Ninja was kind of a stretch. You are correct on so many levels. For example the spiritual aspect of the ninja and the type of espionage and infiltration that the ninja conducted. A lot of people don't realized that the ninja weren't just sneaking around in the dark. They were also dressed normally out in broad daylight gathering information or fitting in with town folk. However, I'm sure you already know this. You may not admit it but I still think the Navy Seals are pretty bad ass but you did point out a valid point. I didn't even touch the surface of the ninja organization. There is also the secrecy thing; some things that they have done we don't know about.

I choose SAMURAI!
I mean, ninja's are very cool, but their whole lives are based on secrecy. Which means that no one will know who I am, if im a ninja. But if I choose samurai, I'll be a noble warrior that has ultimate courage, and I'll be known for it.
So the bottom line is, I want to be know, (and loved): So samurai is the way for me

I think if there is one thing the Tenchu games have taught us, it's that Ninjas are bad ass.
I vote Ninja! *throws shuriken*


For relaxing times, make it... Santori time.

I voted Samurai. They're far superior in my opinion. Just look at Miyamoto Musashi.

may i choose not to answer...
that is a tough one..
samurai are the best in battle...but ninjas have no problem taking a samurai down when he least expects it..
the best way to explain it is: each can out do the other in their environment.
samurai in battle. ninja in confrontation (since stealth has no counter attack)

Ninjas weren't always stealthy Hahahahahaha aww how cute its like people have been watching to many ninja movies XDDDD.
Shinobis have the upper hand in the way they fight when face to face they are more advanced cause they use there bodys as a weapon and don't rely on there swords like the samuri.

Really how did Ninjas sell themselves, Ninjas were more like Mercs they didn't really get tied down to someone and they didn't throw there life away for a master they felt compassion for. Samuris limited themselves yet tried to be free useless. Yet i wondered how so many of them died either by anothershands or there own swords.
