The Native Americans vs. Ninjas,
an interesting concept, right? It's actually not too far-fetched, and it does
make for interesting combat. However, these two groups have two totally
different styles. One’s more upfront, the other’s more elusive. If these two
were to meet, it would be on their own terms.


With that said, let's see what this battle would
look like from both perspectives.


Ninjas


In my opinion, a ninja would win purely based on
the art of subtly. They’d adapt to their surroundings and find a way to really
take advantage of their environment to the point where they won't be seen or
heard. They’ve great fighting skills that’ll enable them to go on the offense
and defense. Additionally, they’ve the right weaponry to get it done.


A ninja will want to fight in the dark and are
armed to go through any kind of climate due to their dark clothing. Also, some
donned bits of samurai armor as well. They will set up a great ambush in
secrecy to really catch the opponent off guard. Their advantage is in the
element of surprise.


The kinds of weapons used range from a shuriken
(ninja star), katana, kunai, and even a kama
(this was used as a gardening tool).Weaponry used was a mix of function and
design. Most were made from actual gardening tools used by the common man.
Ninjas can plan an attack for a whole year to see how someone moves. At the
moment that target least expects it, he's gone in a flash. This way they know
every possible outcome before the actual intended engagement. For a ninja,
knowing their opponent ahead of time helps win the battle.


Native Americans


A Native American acts on spontaneity and
intimidation. They’d want an open field in nature blend in their surroundings.
Also, they move sporadically and yell bombastically to really throw off their
enemies. They’ve war paint and tend to wear clothing that are more associated
with the natural elements around them. They get great power of using the up
field to their advantage so they can ambush, retreat, or set up some kind of
counterattack.


The types of weapons they use are tomahawk for a middle range
throw, arrows for long distances, war
hatchets, spears, and knives. They also have a similarity with the ninjas due
to the weapons being much more than battle tools. They also used some of these
tools for hunting purposes to kill buffalo, deer, and other big game. They do
have a spiritual element like the ninja as well. In fact, they have spiritual
weapons such as the medicine shield, which protects the user in battle.


The Overall Outcome


Both sides have their strengths and weaknesses,
but ninjas edge out due to their fighting skills and elusiveness. A ninja can
use everything in his environment to his advantage, and it’d be hard for a
Native American to cope with this kind of skill. Ninjas work based on
efficiency, which would give them an advantage in any battle situation.
