Ninja Vs Samurai
 
A Ninja (忍者 ,ninja?) is a warrior specially trained in a variety of unorthodox arts of war. These include assassination, illusion, espionage, and various martial arts.The role of the ninja may have included sabotage, espionage, scouting and assassination as a method of destabilization or to cause social chaos. Such actions may have taken place at the service of a feudal lord (daimyo, shogun), or other entity waging guerrilla warfare.


A Samurai who is more respected as a warrior but deal more with intellectual issues.
Most samurai were bound by a code of honor and were expected to set an example for those below them. A notable part of their code is seppuku (切腹 ,seppuku?), which allowed a disgraced samurai to regain his honor by passing into death, where samurai were still beholden to social rules.

Which do you prefer?

I read this book by James Clavell (Shogun): It deals with a Feudal war in the 1600 and the part that thrilled me most was when ninjas were sent to assassinate a samurai.It was crazy.
