Samurai and Ninjas: Friends or Foes?

 🔵1. Samurai Honor vs. Sneakiness:  

   Samurai followed the code of Bushido, all about being loyal and brave. They didn't like how ninjas relied on hiding and tricks instead of fighting out in the open like warriors.

Samurai and Ninjas: Friends or Foes?

🔵2. Ninjas Help Win Wars:   

   Many samurai leaders knew ninjas were great for spying, killing enemies quietly, and wrecking their stuff. That's the kind of missions where hiding and sneaking work better than regular fighting.

🟢3. Ninjas Help Warlords Win:

   Rich guys called daimyos hired ninjas to snoop around, find out secrets, and sneak into places without anyone seeing. They knew this could really help them beat their enemies in battles.

🟢4. Samurai Scared of Ninjas Too:

   Ninjas fighting for the other side made samurai nervous. With all their hiding and surprises, ninjas could mess up the samurai's plans and control of things.

🔵5. Ninjas Are Spy Experts:

   Ninjas were the best at finding out stuff without anyone knowing. They'd watch enemy camps and report back so their side could have the drop on their enemies without a big fight. 

🔵6. Ninjas Pretend to Be Anyone:

   Ninjas used costumes to sneak into places where they weren't supposed to be. They'd dress as monks, sellers, or regular people so no one would notice them doing their missions.

🟠7. Ninjas' Secret Tactics:

   Ninjas had tricks like poisoning enemies, setting traps, and jumping out to attack when no one expects it. This was different from how samurai fought with honor.

🟠8. Ninjas Wreck Enemy Camps:  

   Ninjas could really mess up an enemy's supplies, burn down where they stayed, and cause distractions to weaken them before battles.

⚫9. Nighttime Is Ninja Time:

   Most of the time, ninjas did their thing at night when it was dark. Then they could sneak into forts, take out targets, or steal important papers without anyone seeing. 

☝️💠In short, even though samurai didn't trust ninjas and their sneaky ways, they also knew ninjas could help them win battles as friends or hurt them real bad as enemies.✓✓
