Yeah I know that now. That doesn't mean all ninja were bad though. ( I've been trying to do the math for years to figure out if there could have been Christian ninja or not. )
*butts in* Sorry. (Perhaps. Portuguese Catholics arrived in Japan in 1549, I've heard, and there were still ninja in the service of Tokugawa Shogunate by 1603. It's not impossible to consider some ninja knowing Christ, especially seeing that many ninja were fighting against tyranny and oppression. )

( Very interesting, thanks for sharing that! Hmm perhaps that novel I was thinking of writing isn't such a bad idea after all. )
Ok then maybe it'd just be like how I feel bad whenever storm troopers smash in Star Wars.
You do?
Yeah, not every time of course, just a lot. it's just that there's a person under that helmet. ( or mask in the case of the ninja ) Even if at times they seem like mindless followers, when they get shoot or stabbed they are either smashed or laying there in pain most likely left to be forgotten. Plus that's all they've ever known, they think what they are doing is the right thing, when of course it isn't. Maybe I wouldn't feel bad if it was their choice, but it's kinda not. ( Which is why I liked it when they brought in Fin. Although I think they could have done his character a little better to fit the role of where he came from. )

" We left, for.. reasons..." He said tracing his fingers over a scar on the side of his head that looked like some sort of years old burn. She hadn't noticed it before since most of the scar was hidden by his red locks. Zephyr resisted the urge to ask questions since the the topic seemed to bother him. Am I not the only one keeping secrets? Zephyr thought.
The next day was different from the day before. Yes Lisa had to wake up Zephyr again, and she did need a little help from Jadyn to remember all the warm ups. But instead of hiking out the hills, Sensei started the day by teaching Zephyr more basics in the garden while Jadyn and Lisa did some more advanced stuff inside. They did this for about two hours before Sensei left Zephyr to practice on her own while he taught the other two. Zephyr was starting to wonder if she'd been practicing long enough when Lisa told her her she could come inside. They then did some intense exercise, or it was intense to Zephyr at least. Many had to do with strengthening their cores and stretching muscles Zephyr didn't even know she had. By the end of it Zephyr dropped to the floor exhausted. " You worked hard Zephyr, that's good. " Said Sensei turning off the radio which had been playing exercise music. Zephyr was glad he was pleased, even if she feel like she'd never be able to stand again at the moment. Later they hiked to the same sand court as the day before to practice holds and escapes. Zephyr, Lisa and Jadyn all practiced each hold on each other. They were only doing arm and hand holds and escapes today. They did ones such as the Game Boy hold and other simple ones.
Thanks Sam8432 ! ( I try to keep to the rules, but I sometimes forget. )
That's fine.
I do that a lot. Sometimes I forget there are younger people on here.
(Sorry if I cause you mods any trouble.)
Me too. It's mostly politics, to much prsonal information and using the site the wrong way is what I get in trouble for. ( Even though I don't get in trouble very often, when I do I kinda panic. ) That post might have been a gray area though, because I was talking about another person. It doesn't matter though.
Then maybe they'd stop thinking it's Christopher Columbus who discovered America, and that Vikings wore those stupid horned helmets.
Well, he obviously didn't because there were already people there. Or are you thinking of Leif Erikson?
Yeah, I was really thinking of Leif. Although the Native Americans why do people still call them indians the uncultured swines deserve kudos for getting there first.

(Why did I only see this three days after it came out? )
