Saddenly,
There really is no more such thing as ninjutsu. If you do the research, you'll discover that the only surviving records of ninjutsu are really vague - no specific martial arts techniques or anything like that. But, because of their role in the history of the always popular samurai culture, public interest was stirred in ninja stories and movies. Hatsumi, a student of aikijujitsu, read up on ninja history and lore and passed his stuff off as ninjutsu, getting students like Stephen K Hayes to sell his brand of "ninjutsu", while sending back tidy sums to Hatsumi. If there's any doubt, take a close look at the joint manipulation techniques of ninjutsu and notice how closely they resemble those of aikijujutsu. Anyone who claims otherwise should offer some concrete evidence, rather than insults and bad spelling, bitch!
