Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the history of Japan continues with a video on the ninja and shinobi, as we discuss the truth and reality behind the famous Japanese assassins, who were much more than that, as we discuss their attire, weapons, tactics, how they became ninja and shinobi, why they were employed by the samurai and what their role was in the Sengoku Jidai - Shogun era. In this video we will also talk about Naoe and Yasuke and the newly announced Assassin's Creed Shadows game from @Ubisoft
