Only modern wannabe ninjas learn all 18 btw ~

In the past, shinobi only learned the skills they needed to fight, most of that stuff was taught to a few but not the entire ninja village, most of the villagers were just normal farmers, but the ninjas hidden amongst them would know at most.. about a little of each but mostly just the physical styles they needed for combat usage, as well as the basics of the other things.

1. Seishinteki kyōyō (spiritual refinement)
   
2. Taijutsu (unarmed combat)
   
3. Kenjutsu (sword techniques)
   
4. Bōjutsu (stick and staff techniques)
   
5. Sōjutsu (spear techniques)
   
6. Naginatajutsu (naginata techniques)
   
7. Kusarigamajutsu (kusarigama techniques)
   
8. Shurikenjutsu (throwing weapons techniques)
   
9. Kayakujutsu (pyrotechnics)
   
10. Hensōjutsu (disguise and impersonation)
    
11. Shinobi-iri (stealth and entering methods)
    
12. Bajutsu (horsemanship)
    
13. Sui-ren (water training)
    
14. Bōryaku (tactics)
    
15. Chōhō (espionage)
    
16. Intonjutsu (escaping and concealment)
    
17. Tenmon (meteorology)
    
18. Chi-mon (geography)

Of those 18, you only learned about 8-10, at most, and only what you needed, depending on what type of ninja you were. Most, only need to know: 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, & 16.

I'd rather 4, since a spear would be harder to make than a staff.

But Will still wouldn't allow it.

Can I delete this thread if you're not going to make a character?

Moved this to the basket, rather than delete it.. btw ~ where is the basket?

Ninja's were a discrased (sp?) chinese martial arts clan who moved to japan, became farmers and prostitutes and killed people from inside! the walls, they didnt break in, they didnt assassinate people unless they needed to. How do you think the they got away so easily? because they were the load's farmers, or his prostitute, who played the "i dont know how this could happen :"( card" Everything else is highly dramatized.
