I wasn't suggesting that the presence of ninja skills = magic. But that the burning transformation may suggest supernatural elements. |
I understand two topics got mixed.

Actually they weren't samurai at all, they were typically impoverished peasants. While they would wear samurai gear occasionally, it was only to blend in and become invisible (not to mention it was likely stolen for one-time usage). The only ninja you're likely to see wearing this all the time are, honestly, just bad ninja. The idea was to kill before alert was raised and to remain undetected, so speed and silence were preferred over the clunky, noisy suits of armor. |
Depends on the source. Some of the stories I got the "ninjutsu" were techniques that some samurais had and used for "indirect" battle.

Actually Ninja were typically peasants, samurai considered the tactics of subversion and espionage that ninja used to be dishonorable and beneath them. That is one of the reason why many ninja used kunai, kunai were actually multi-purpose tools used by the lower class for farming and masonry work, but since the lower classes often didn't have access to swords they made do with kunai, using them as rudimentary weapons and tools for climbing walls. |
As I said above, depends on source, some will tell that ninjas were a portion of the samurais.
