2. Shinobi Iri – The Stealth and entering methods of the Ninja. Ninja back in the day were considered invisible, They could be in and out of a place fast.

3. Togakure-ryū – As a Ninjutsu tradition influenced by the samurai martial arts of the Sengoku period, the style of Togakure-ryū consists of a small number of physical escape and evasion techniques called “ninpo taijutsu,” as well as a series of sword attack patterns, or biken kata. However, the majority of the art involves techniques of geography, meteorology, swimming, signaling, potion-making, fire-starting, concentration, disguise, impersonation, and other forms of knowledge suited for the unique information-gathering and infiltration roles of ninja.

History:

Chris’s father, Richard, was on a government assignment somewhere off the coast when he met a local woman there who he fell in love with, and soon later married. Chris was born not too long after. Shortly after turning 5, Chris’s dad went on another mission, and a few weeks later – his mother Ayama received a letter that he had never reported in, and no one knows where he disappeared to. From then on, Ayama raised Chris until he was 12 years old.

When Ayama saw Chris’s early signs of anger towards whatever happened to his dad, she suggested he go to the temple on the mountainside, and speak with an old master of martial arts to learn the ways of Ninjitsu. This way, he may learn to control his anger and center himself.

During his time at the temple, (a total of 5 years) Chris learned different techniques and styles. At the same time, he was taught to embrace life. To let go of the past, spend time finding himself. To fight with honor, know when to hide, and never to show fear.

After his time at the temple, Chris came back to say goodbye to his mother, as he was going to head out and find a Freedom Fighters group to join, to help out others wherever he could be useful. Now Chris travels from place to place on Mobius, meeting new people, learning new cultures, and at the same time – silently fights for freedom wherever needed.
