Welcome to NIA.
We are now accepting new members! Come and join now, but there are rules, which I'll explain later... ninja
Here is what we are about:
NIA is a developing group of Ninja struggling to keep peace on Gaia.
We use secret techniques in order to take our enemies out. Any types of ninja can join here: Naruto style Ninja, Basilisk style Ninja, Realistic Style Ninja, and anything you can think of! wink
We are peaceful people, but if hired or attacked we will resist. That is our Ninja way. Spying, espionage, assasinations, failure to cooperate with any of these will get you out of NIA. As we are Ninja, we have to do what all Ninja are ordered/made to do.
Wikipedia
Ninja is a Japanese compound derived from the two kanji used to write shinobi-no-mono (忍の者), one of the native Japanese words for people who practice ninjutsu (sometimes transliterated as ninjitsu 忍術). Ninja and shinobi-no-mono, along with shinobi, another variant, became popular in the post-World War II culture. The kanji 志能備, has been traced as far back as Japan's Asuka period (538-710 CE), when Prince Shotoku is alleged to have employed one of his retainers as a ninja.
The underlying connotation of shinobi (忍, pronounced nin in Sino-Japanese compounds) is "to do quietly" or "to do so as not to be perceived by others" and—by extension—"to forebear," hence its association with stealth and invisibility. Mono (者, likewise pronounced sha or ja) means "person." The nin of ninjutsu is the same as that in ninja, whereas jutsu (術) means skill or art, so ninjutsu means "the skill of going unperceived" or "the art of stealth"; hence, ninja and shinobi-no-mono (as well as shinobi) may be translated as "one skilled in the art of stealth." Similarly, the pre-war word ninjutsu-zukai means "one who uses the art of remaining unperceived."
Ninja is sometimes used as a synonym for "very fast". It is also somewhat of an internet meme.
