Ninja warriors were the end of feudal Japan. The history of the Ninja is hard to trace. This is because there were few, if any records of its existence. Most of what is known about the ninja is taken from the stories have been passed from generation to generation.

No use was first introduced to Japan in 522 AD as a religion practiced by priests. These priests were not violent people, they were "mystics" who gathered and shared information for the ruling classes. The Ninja as we know it was not introduced until later. It was not until 645 AD that the priests perfected their fighting skills and made use of their knowledge of the non-use. This was because they were harassed by the central government and is in necessary to protect themselves. 794-1192 AD the new civilization flourished in and with it a new class of wealthy families and privileged. These families fought each other in attempts to make or destroy emperors. The need for spies, informants, and now murderers grew as these families dueled for power. They were suspicious and jealous of others and resort to any means necessary to eliminate any possible threats. Therefore, practitioners of non-use were in great demand. With this, the Ninja was born.

As the Ninja gained popularity, so did the stories of their superhuman abilities. This reputation was often encouraged by the Ninja themselves. Because people were relatively weaker than their counterparts, the samurai, and were vulnerable to attack by the many families in conflict around them, was going for it that others believe he had such powers. Powers as having the strength of ten men, the ability to turn into animals, fly and become invisible at will. Ninja films also added the ability to have the Ninja leap over buildings in a single bound, catching bullets with his teeth and see into the future.

At this point in which you must understand the Samurai to truly understand why the ninja were so effective and in such demand. The samurai's life was "live by the sword, die by the sword", without fear of death at all. His sword was all his life, his soul. This followed the code the warrior of honor, Bushido. Bushido was followed at all times. If a samurai's code is lost then to be the seppuku, another term for hara-kiri. It was ritual suicide where they cut open his stomach with his sword minor. The Ninja did not follow that code. Your code is only going to do everything necessary to do the job. This gave the Ninja an advantage immediately, add the use of a wide variety of weapons and has a superior warrior. Since the samurai could not sneak into the house of an enemy because he was against of their code could not carry out tasks such as murder and sabotage. This is where the Ninja came And if it meant hiding behind a samurai warrior the murder before he even knew he was in danger of which was very acceptable to the Ninja. The Bush never allow. For this reason, the fear of the Samurai Ninja. Fear the Ninja had won.
