in other words.
a samurai's virtue and honor code is more appealing and greater in value.

the ninjas have greater chances in surviving and winning a battle...but they have o problem using every filthy, wicked,disgraceful method to do so.

again i am not generalizing...ninjas were clans some who were mercenaries ...some who pledged to lords. some who had independent villages where they used their skills to protect it..
some samurai were cowards and only enjoyed the title samurai for self praising and to be superior over villagers. cowards who were pierced from the back (running away)..not every samurai is Musashi ..
and not every ninja is hatori hanzo
