As of a few days ago, I'm a qualified ninja, as close as you can be in modern times anyway
AMA
What did you have to do, take a chunin exam?

No, you have to find a local ninja, if you're lucky there might be a ninjutsu dojo but good ones are rare, I managed to find one through my MMA dojo and asked if he'd take me on, you need to already have a few black belts, (I had a black belt in karate, kung fu, aikido and hanbojutsu) he gave me a huge list of books to read and sent me to train in parkour, fast forward about two years and I've got another two black belts and am breddy gud at parkour, I learned everything from the books that I could and when he was satisfied he shook my hand and told me I'm a ninja, I'm currently looking for a ninjutsu dojo to get some kind of certification and I'm still pursuing more black belts (thinking about Krav Maga and Brazilian ju jitsu next)
That's the VERY short version of the story
I'll be joining a Ninpo dojo soon, what exactly would I have to do to be a qualified ninja? I know that I must work hard and I am willing to do so.

How can I practice ninjutsu in my backyard? I've been using a butter knife as a throwing knife but I wanna study take downs and armed combat as well as the art of kunai I wanna stick like 3 kunai in a tree at once.

whats your favorite jutsu?

Learning ninjutsu doesn't make you a ninja, you need to know a broad range of martial arts so you can be flexible, you also need to work on the mental aspect as well, it's just as important to understand deception and misdirection as it is to fight

Obviously you could just grab some books and do what they tell you, but at the end of the day you don't know if you're doing it right or wrong unless you've got someone who knows teaching you

Well my personal favourite fighting move is shoulder checking them, grabbing the legs at the back of the knees and lifting them up, causing them to fly on to their back, because they go flat down if there was a pole or branch or something poking up they'd be impaled, simple and effective

so you use the wooden impalement jutsu
what combination of chakras do you use to summon the branch and how difficult would it be for a beginner to learn this jutsu?
