==Also Called==
*Ninjaken/Ninja Sword/Shinobigatana Aptitude/Expertise/Intuition/Mastery/Proficiency
*Ninjatō Aptitude/Expertise/Intuition/Mastery
==Capabilities==
The user, either innately or through training, is a master of wielding ninjatō, the preferred weapon that the shinobi of feudal Japan carried, usually carried on the persons back, specifically horizontally at a height of around that of the person's waist. Unlike the katana, the ninjatō's blade is straight and shorter.
The scabbards of the ninjatō are often said to have been used for various purposes such as a respiration pipe (snorkel) in underwater activities or for secretly overhearing conversations. The scabbard is also said to have been longer than the blade of the ninjatō in order to hide various objects such as chemicals used to blind pursuers. The tsuba (hand guard) of the ninjato is often described as being larger than average and square instead of the much more common round tsuba. One theory on the ninjatō tsuba size and shape is that it was used as a tool, the sword would be leaned against a wall and ninja would use the tsuba as a step to extend his normal reach, the sword would then be retrieved by pulling it up by the sageo (saya cord).
