Does the Samurai was the enemy of Shinobi?

The Shinobi was a Samurai / Bushi, meaning that belonged to the warrior class, who was specially trained in Shinobijutsu and this was his function. Therefore, the Shinobi was neither Samurai antagonist or enemy. The idea of this rivalry and the Shinobi-Farmer against the Samurai stealing their land comes from the movies, manga and other.

Does the Ninjato existed?

As KAWAKAMI Soke says, would be absurd to have a weapon that you identify as Shinobi, because when the enemy see it, you would be immediately arrested or executed. For certain missions, it was advisable to carry a short sword, which was a Kodachi not Ninjato. This is another of the creations of manga, movies ... not existed.

Does the Shinobi uniform existed?

The Shinobi's clothes were typical of his time, had no uniformity with which they appear in movies and manga. Among the most common colors of the day were dark brown, indigo blue and black.

Of course the Shinobi would suit the area were to do his mission.

Does the Shinobi had a combat system itself?

The Shinobijutsu is not a martial art as we understand in the West. The Shinobi trained and studied military strategy, techniques for gathering information, sabotage, poisons, psychology ... etc.. and among these was the Bujutsu (arts / techniques of war). The Shinobi learned Bujutsu of the family / clan, but there was no system of empty hands or armed combat differently to be Shinobi, one must remember that they belonged to the warrior class and their speciality was shinobijutsu.

That said, it is clear that there was no system of Shinobi Kenjutsu with invested grips or the like.

It should also be clear that the ATEMIGOROSHI is the name given to the methods of scrimmage within our school Takenouchi Ryu, only in this school. Not used in other our schools, or generically to describe methods of scrimmage, much less is a combat system of the Shinobi.
