During this conflict a warrior named Otomo-no-Saajin contributed to the victory of Prince Shotoku by secretly gathering valuable intelligence about the enemy forces. For this service, he was awarded the title of Shinobi, which means "stealer-within". From this ideogram the character for Ninjitsu is derived... PH34R!!!
