9. The Ninja used the Samurai code of practice against them, but what was the Samurai code of practice known as?

Answer: Bushido

The Samurai Code (Bushido) did not allow ninjutsu to be used, a Shogunate could not expect his own warriors to use their methods. Thus, the Ninja took advantage of this and employed their tactics to gain the upper hand in battle. A Tanto was a dagger used during that time and a Bokken is a wooden training sword.
10. Ninjutsu has many meanings in its translation. Strength, Survive, Assasin, and Espionage to name a few. What is the higher order of Ninjutsu known as?

Answer: Ninpo

Ninpo is not just the physical acts of the Ninja, i.e, fighting, sword use, assasinations, etc. It is a way of life, a higher awareness and a way of thinking. Shinobi is another word for Ninja. A Ninja-to is a shortened sword used by the ninja and a Shogunate was a Samurai leader.
