Once, a curious shinobi questioned the relevance of swordsmanship when direct confrontations seemed unlikely. Regrettably, that shinobi's fate met a violent end. However, this incident sheds light on the importance of the Way of the Shinobi, a formidable art embraced by ninjas. While it may not possess the sheer potency of the Ashina school, the Way of the Shinobi thrives in situations demanding direct combat.
The foundation of this style revolves around unsettling adversaries and dismantling their defenses. Expertise in parrying and countering allows the practitioner to exploit vulnerabilities, seeking to unbalance opponents and penetrate their guard. Consequently, the Way of the Shinobi appears to be more defensively inclined, tailored for duels rather than large-scale warfare.
