Actually, Jiraiya is a fictional character of a story named "The Gallant Jiraiya" (if I'm not mistaken by the title). No actual ninja was named after him. Just a character from a story about a legendary toad befriending ninja with his wife Tsunade saving his friend who is possessed by an evil snake spirit after being poison by said friend and healed by an old road named Gamatora. (if I'm not mistaken) Definitely a story worth reading, although I'm not sure if there's a translated version of the story...
*"Ninja have no sound, scent, recognition or popularity. We have nothing, but we can achieve a lot . It gives us self-satisfaction"* That's a honorable mantra to live by.
Yes, everyone lives by that mantra. Bc everyone does literally something for self-satisfaction. I put myself through mind tearing games that are just a pain to go through simply bc it’s satisfying when I finally achieve completion
To be technical... he did say the rest Vanished and he was given the title as last. Never himself said it and still keeps secrets. I believe there's more.
I am Japanese. I will give you historically accurate ninja information. There were many ninja groups during the civil war in the 16th century. At its peak, there were 70 ninja groups all over Japan. However, most groups lost the competition and eventually disappeared. In the end, only a few groups remained. It is known today as the "Iga" and "Kouga" ninja. However, even in the "disappeared" group, there was a family who personally taught the technique. So there are many different ninjutsu left in various parts of Japan. Their claims may be inconsistent with each other, but each only conveys an ancestral school, and historically neither is a mistake.
Well since your Japanese isn't it true that ninja 2 was actually created to counter Everything as samurai is Because lots of the showguns that ruled their provisions for the emperor the emperor were crooked and said samurai to do the dirty work amongst the peasants farmers mainly mainly hence the need to wear a mask so there was no reprisals on their families and they could fight back the samurai that's why I need you too sword is straight and short because ninja 2 was meant to counter everything samurai is so they fight on the inside where samurai fly on the outside with the long swordsIs this not true that the 1st ninjas were rebelling against Is samurai
The fact that he says that Shuriken are not ninja weapons(however tools would be a better word for this) but the swords, bow and spear sure show what you said because it is weird as hell and I doubth that was really universal. What he says is also full of contradictions...
@@spacewargamer4181 I think probably what he's saying is that shuriken wouldn't have been a common weapon, and that's pretty obvious. If you're in town to find out about an enemy or just gather info, you're sure as heck not going to be carrying things that would contradict your cover. And, if you're supposed to sneak into a castle and kill someone, you wouldn't want to have a stack of them clanking around in a pouch. If you had more than one, you'd have to have them separated by cloth, which means you can't pull out the stack and start throwing while you're on the run. Also fairly useless against anyone wearing armor, so a very limited-purpose weapon.
"How do you want people to remember you/ninja?" -"Ninja can never be in the spotlight, Ninja have no sound, scent, recognition or popularity, we have nothing; but we can achieve a lot, it gives us self-satisfaction." This is by far my favorite definition of a shinobi-no-mono
I also thought the same tho.. Bcuz he said ninja doesnt need spotlight.. They got satisfaction by working in the shadow.. There's might be an association working for the government or sumthin.. Thats why
@@starorcarina8525 this is not far fetched from reality. Keep in mind that they work in the shadows. I doubt that he's the last one. He's probably protecting their legacy and he's like the spokesperson so the main comment may/most probably be true.
Very possible. I am very very sure there was at least thousands of them in WW2 My granparent's parent and his friends that fought in ww2 swore that they have encountered ninja once. They tell me the local fighters around call them black killing wave. Tasked with saboteur, espionage, and assasination. I find it hard to believe that thousands of them can be completely gone leaving just this guy.
i dont think it was in the same time period. they had technology and electricity in naruto lol. also they had pouches to carry such items as it was warring periods for most of the anime.
@A Beds Leg they didn't use shurikens because they were to expensive to make and a waste of use. Also to be a shinobi-no-mono means to be stealthy for most likely information and assassination, not for making a bloody mess just to get exposed later.
That's such an odd question, or it's mistranslation cause anyone can kill somebody, perhaps the better question is how many ways can you kill someone, the answer is one mind any weapon and knowing vital points.
To people looking at the running and thinking it looks weird. The basic idea is called forward leaning run, where you learn at the ankles, not the hips, so you're essentially always falling and your feet just push you back up when you step. He mentions running normally tires people out, which is pretty in line with how forward leaning running is usually more energy efficient when running faster. The running style does pump your calves a bit, but once you get strength in your calves it's fairly easy to just go. This isn't referring to the overdramatic positioning actually found in Naruto though.
@@ari8184 To rephrase your question with context, "Why don't distance runners run like they are holding a sword steady?" Well, because they aren't holding a sword steady. Runners do lean forward to create forward momentum. Distance running form isn't standing perfectly stable and do not do "standing leg extensions" for miles and miles to primarily propel themselves forward. Proper distance running form involves having good posture, if you bend at the hips then you dragging back your own natural momentum. You lean a little near the ankles to keep good posture and not destroy your natural momentum. Check out other videos with distance running form.
Kind of makes sense. You have to realize that ninjas are stealthy. Travel light; travel fast. If they're used for espionage, like spies, then they pretty much have to blend in. Blending in is one of the best ways to remain unseen. You can't really blend in if you're carrying shurikens.
To anyone wondering what he meant with 'you can't have real ninjutsu training nowadays', it's simple. Mostly any traditional training routine would be seen as ruthless and brutal, so if you teach kids like that you're gonna end up with zero students and might be jailed or something.
Nah, it's all about it's practical usage. There literally is zero reason to do this training now in modern Japan. Ninjas don't serve the army or the government, you don't get paid to be a ninja. Doing those real tough ninjutsu training is basically worthless now unless you're doing it out of the desire to keep the tradition alive.
@@namelessking111 exactly! I'm all for historical preservation but at some point you have to be realistic and say that certain aspects of the art are impractical, ineffective or just not appropriate According to various sources (Hayes, Adams) Ninja were trained from birth in the arts.

I am training "ninjutsu" in the West, so I have to use quotation marks after listening to this remarkable man. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn a little bit about the true history of the ninja. Thank you for this interview. I
@@itmekt8571 wow what an IdIot u should know ur "stuff" better go read a book it doesn't take too much y'all spen hours upon hours on this app called "Facebook" but not a second on books SMH wake up sheep
This guy is so good he explained the Naruto run without me even noticing. I must have missed it somehow. Great video, by the way. Really awesome interview.
Wow, thank you so much for this video. It helped to enlighten us to the reality much more than the false impressions we have all had for decades about Ninjas. It was great to see him, he's like a regular person in many ways. Very practical in how to develop and use the skills, as he showed you can use many of the same techniques for Ninja activities or for farming, and some of the same tools! Very pragmatic. Although there was a bit of conflict from what he said about Ninjas main goal is to survive, however they were still called upon in war as spies for espionage or even as assassins. But I think the point is they preferred to not have to use their Ninja skills for killing if it was not necessary. It's always great to shatter misconceptions we have from Hollywood or other sources and get to know the real story behind this famous Japanese discipline. I liked that he was doing exercises that had a Buddhist meaning. That shows he is a Spiritual Warrior which is above all other practices. I hope that he can pass down the tradition, it would be a shame if it died out altogether. Just like the Shaolin or other traditional martial arts practices.
@@christopherparks4342 honestly he may not have been joking at all. Farm tools were a great weapon for ninja because people wouldn't normally be suspicious of someone who looks like a commoner carrying them.
Anime jokes aside, this is fascinating. The man is clearly very intelligent and healthy, and achieved that through practicing ninjutsu. Thank you for sharing this
My feelings exactly. It's so sad to hear him say its not even worth passing down anymore. I understand times are so different but there are lessons there that people still need to know and pass down.
5:00 I am a student who is studying world history along with my major. "Shuriken is not a skill of ninja, but samurai's" That was a cultural shock to me...
There are koryu schools like the Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu that teach shurikenjutsu and other bushido skills. Kusarigama, which are known to be shinobi weapons, are also mostly used by the samurai. The whole "samurai are honorable and don't use cheap tricks" is just propaganda.
There's probably something within a few feet of you at any given moment that could be picked up and used to kill you without any training whatsoever, pens, cups, keys, bags... a knife. the world is filled with dangerous objects that we just sort of forget are actually dangerous cause we use em so much.
I don’t know why this was in my recommended videos today, but I know it’s going to be the best thing I’m going to see for a while. I wish there was a whole series with this man. He has a very soothing way about him and a sneaky sense of humor that is great. He reminds me so much of my favorite uncle. I have no cultural connection to this myself, but I can’t explain how happy I was to see at the end that he was opening an academy and passing his knowledge down. The interviewer was fun to watch too. I like that she’s just down to try everything no matter how silly it might feel. TLDR; loved this.
He said Ninja can never be in the spotlight, and here I'm from across the seas and mountains watching who are the ninjas of my favourite country Japan. ❤️ From Eastern Nagaland.
I just watched a 70yo man dislocate his shoulder 4 times on command and display it like a hat trick. Never again will I complain about a sore muscle or joints.
He is not a ninja that is actually carrying intelligence gathering and counter espionage. He is a guy who knows ninja skills that is starting a ninja academy.
That walking and running style alone are valuable method to learn. It’s practical and timeless. The question is, what that hand signs actually for in terms of practicality? Sign language? Proof of being a shinobi? Sacred ritual? I doubt it summoned giant fox with defect tails and paranoid personality disorder.
He said it’s like a form of prayer I believe and in another video he says something about it being used as a way to achieve full concentration before a mission
@@shiningmissingno.8788 wrong. it is sign language. it is used to communicate with other ninjas without making noise. In Buddhism, no one prays like that. you really don't know anything about buddhism

well to be fair we see katanas all the time as the typical arsenal of shinobi, so of course to anyone who knows of how ninja are portrayed in modern media, seeing something like that sticks out lol. i dont think it has anything to do with her being a girl
@@warmooze I think you just summarized at least a third of "ninjutsu" right there. AFAICT, most "ninja weapons" were basically farming tools and everyday objects that wouldn't arouse suspicion if a peasant or monk was seen carrying them around. Using them as _weapons_ was all technique.
In a way, I'm glad we live in such times where the past and present are still connected. To think the traditions in this video could be lost in the future is a shame. Thank you for showing this amazing man and his knowledge.
"The truth is, a real ninja avoids any kind of kombat, because their only duty is to stay alive and deliver intel." My whole life was a lie. All that time i was NiNJA!
What a fascinating story. The old man training him, one of the last Ninjas around. It'd be such a shame if knowledge like this got lost. I hope he will open that school and teach people.
he's definitely a legit ninja coz he knows that shurikens are for samurai and not for ninjas. He's impressive actually. It's kinda sad that nobody else practices ninjutsu the way he is
He made a lot of sense actually. "ninjas don't have anything but they can achieve a lot of things". They don't need to be flashy, they just need to get the job done

Wow, thank you so much for this video. It helped to enlighten us to the reality much more than the false impressions we have all had for decades about Ninjas. It was great to see him, he's like a regular person in many ways. Very practical in how to develop and use the skills, as he showed you can use many of the same techniques for Ninja activities or for farming, and some of the same tools! Very pragmatic. Although there was a bit of conflict from what he said about Ninjas main goal is to survive, however they were still called upon in war as spies for espionage or even as assassins. But I think the point is they preferred to not have to use their Ninja skills for killing if it was not necessary.
It's always great to shatter misconceptions we have from Hollywood or other sources and get to know the real story behind this famous Japanese discipline.
I liked that he was doing exercises that had a Buddhist meaning. That shows he is a Spiritual Warrior which is above all other practices. I hope that he can pass down the tradition, it would be a shame if it died out altogether. Just like the Shaolin or other traditional martial arts practices.
*Goes to weapon room* "These look cool!" ... "Those are garden shears."
Thank you 😂😂

@@rkopptrekkie i think he was being funny.
@@christopherparks4342 honestly he may not have been joking at all. Farm tools were a great weapon for ninja because people wouldn't normally be suspicious of someone who looks like a commoner carrying them.

My feelings exactly. It's so sad to hear him say its not even worth passing down anymore. I understand times are so different but there are lessons there that people still need to know and pass down.
@@rhiannonray3550 Like dedication, for one...
5:00 I am a student who is studying world history along with my major. "Shuriken is not a skill of ninja, but samurai's" That was a cultural shock to me...
There are koryu schools like the Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu that teach shurikenjutsu and other bushido skills. Kusarigama, which are known to be shinobi weapons, are also mostly used by the samurai. The whole "samurai are honorable and don't use cheap tricks" is just propaganda.
"Are you capable of killing someone?"
(Without any hesitation whatsoever) "it's easy."
I'm already dead.
soyUsernameWasTaken it actually is, human life is fragile
There's probably something within a few feet of you at any given moment that could be picked up and used to kill you without any training whatsoever, pens, cups, keys, bags... a knife. the world is filled with dangerous objects that we just sort of forget are actually dangerous cause we use em so much.

I don’t know why this was in my recommended videos today, but I know it’s going to be the best thing I’m going to see for a while. I wish there was a whole series with this man. He has a very soothing way about him and a sneaky sense of humor that is great. He reminds me so much of my favorite uncle. I have no cultural connection to this myself, but I can’t explain how happy I was to see at the end that he was opening an academy and passing his knowledge down. The interviewer was fun to watch too. I like that she’s just down to try everything no matter how silly it might feel. TLDR; loved this.

That walking and running style alone are valuable method to learn. It’s practical and timeless. The question is, what that hand signs actually for in terms of practicality? Sign language? Proof of being a shinobi? Sacred ritual? I doubt it summoned giant fox with defect tails and paranoid personality disorder.
He went over it in the video, its like praying for fortune before a fight. It doesn't mean anything if you're not Buddhist
The walking style was useful when trying to sneak down the stairs into the kitchen at night. I did it all the time when I was a kid.
He said it’s like a form of prayer I believe and in another video he says something about it being used as a way to achieve full concentration before a mission

@@warmooze I think you just summarized at least a third of "ninjutsu" right there. AFAICT, most "ninja weapons" were basically farming tools and everyday objects that wouldn't arouse suspicion if a peasant or monk was seen carrying them around. Using them as _weapons_ was all technique.

It won't, I believe...
Ninja is an Intel, do you ever meet person and say that he/she is a CIA or KGB?
It’s precisely why it will be lost sooner or later, because it’s too protected.
