Yamanouchi (sp?) ninjas

[yvj]

So what's the general consensus on the Yamanouchi ninjas?

Are they lethal assassins or peaceful martial artists.

I mean the case can be said that they are ninjas, and traditionally ninjas were assassins...(or killers for hire). And how did they stay a secret school for so long? Someone had to stumble upon the school one day and maybe, they got whacked for it.

But then again we've never seen them (the ninjas) use any sort of lethal force whatsoever. And let's say they didn't mind offing people, you'd think they would take out Monkey Fist. Most likely they're a neutral school teaching martial artists.

In addition seeing how they planted a fake adoption center in America, we can assume they must have some kind of political power

Whatever their roots its clear that the modern Yamanouchi is more about creating guardians rather than assassins, Sensei seems to practice a policy of Ahimsa, only resorting to violence when no other option remains. it is likely that Yori, who looks most likely to carry on as future head of Yamanouchi will likely follow a similar path.

There a lot of things unknown to Yamanouchi... In my opinion they're like the secret "Microsoft" (in a non-techie kind of way) of the KPverse.... I believe that in Yamanouchi students are trained to be ninjas and the like, however their profession is uncertain whether good or bad... I mean a student follows his own path when he is away from school (regardless on how the school made them practice their teachings)

dude, they are just peceful martial artists

Peaceful mostly, but when battle calls, and get attacked, they are firce in battle.

But, I wonder how many ninja's Kim and Ron fight were trained there...

in the end, weather being a ninja is good or evil depends on HOW you use your skills.

It's just the school... not a place where you get to be told what you're gonna be.... I mean you have to agree there are still collage grads who kill, steal and corrupt...
