Define "ninja"
If you mean invisible assassins, slilent in the shadows, phantoms of the night, masters of all weapons, I'm going to say none.
If you mean people who study ninjitsu as a martial art, I really don't know. I am sure there's some school out there with some reputable claim. |

I've heard (though this is just hearsay) that there are a handful of ninja-type assassins left in the world. (Well, my understanding was that they're pretty old now and long since retired.)

yeah, ive heard that too. several hired/government assassins who still did the jobs "ninja style". but that was around the 1960's.
im gonna assume there are exactly seven left (there are always seven in the movies  ) and they spend their time wondering from small japanese mountain village to small japanese mountian village settling disputes and defeating evil warlords.

My personal opinion of the existance of "ninjas" is this:
I feel that what the public percieves as ninjitsu is a Hollywood hype, and outside of Japan, somewhere in deep, dark and secluded locals, there is no true ninjitsu being taught.
I think what happened was that Hollywood got the ninja craze, and some smart cookie in Japan decided to capitalize on it and announce to the world that he was the such and such reigning master of this or that ninja clan, and he's decided to make his knowledge public and start teaching massive amounts of people his system. All for a price, of course.
So this guy that probably had a black belt or two in some martial art, jazzes it up, slaps a black gi on with a hood and a bunch of fun toys like throwing stars and such, and markets it to the gullible people of the United States (hell, we'll swallow ANYTHING if it's different and makes us look cool!).
Anyway, that's my opinion. yes, there are real ninjas out there, but I don't think you'll find any of them in a "ninja school." |

Ninjas are mammals. Ninjas fight ALL the time.
The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.
Ninjas can kill anyone they want! Ninjas cut off heads ALL the time and don't even think twice about it. These guys are so crazy and awesome that they flip out ALL the time. I heard that there was this ninja who was eating at a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon the ninja killed the whole town. My friend Mark said that he saw a ninja totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.
And that's what I call REAL Ultimate Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't believe that ninjas have REAL Ultimate Power you better get a life right now or they will chop your head off!!! It's an easy choice, if you ask me.
Ninjas are sooooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants. I can't believe it sometimes, but I feel it inside my heart. These guys are totally awesome and that's a fact. Ninjas are fast, smooth, cool, strong, powerful, and sweet.
i copy this from that ^ webpage
Have you play final fantasy 6 that nija gu kill his family for a pearl.
I did not finish the game am nearly finish hahahahah!!hahahahahha
