Quick question. Aren't Ninja specifically not supposted to be honorable? I had thought that was a samurai thing.
I prefer the idea that, at least in the area the story is taking place, the ninja have come up with an alternative to directish warfare. They instead have "who can screw up these people's lives the most" contests. Each clan would select a few people, and then, over the course of years, see who could ruin their subjects' lives the worst, without actually killing them. In this scenario, revealing the existance of the ninja is a calculated move designed to drive OP to madness via extreme paranoia. What do you think?
