== Categories ==
Ninjutsu usually fell in two categories: 
* Fumemboku (disgraceful): those inherently neutral acts that could be dishonorably implemented and thus discredited, such as acting, gathering information, or stealth.
* Fumeiyo (dishonorable): those dishonorable acts usually only performed by shinobi, such as sabotage, posioning, or assassination, which could not be done honorably, no matter the circumstance. This category also included the specialized martial arts that used shinobi weapons, like the shuko, shuriken, senbon, and fukiya.
