Other Ninja Weapons

Ninjas are among the most romantic organisations in history, because most of what we know about them is largely mythical. However, we have some information concerning their weapons. Unlike the samurai, ninjas were primarily spies and scouts, so they needed to avoid their weapons obstructing their movements. Ninjas often used creeping and climbing to move, so these weapons should be light and attached well to the body. Most weapons were also multifunctional, allowing them to carry much fewer weapons and therefore less load.
