Mizudori no Kangae
Understadings of the Water Bird
***********************************
Imagine you are looking at a place with where enemy spies are present, as well your own spies.
Your heart is racing very fast, you are a shinobi that is spying on the enemy,…at this point you need to approach this mission, like a water bird.
Many times people can be very easily distracted by the little things and will allow you to move freely towards your destination. This path is the same that is experienced by a bodhisattva or a person striving to attain illumination.
——-OLD POEM——-
The Shishui River of Hunan
Blue as the sky.
In the middle a water bird white as snow,
I aspire to become like.
—————————-
Water birds and other animals are often found around the castle moats, stone walls, and other hard to reach places where spies will surely take up position.
The shinobi has to become one with the elements, if a sound is heard, the birds and other animals will surely fly or run off, this will alert the guard that you are there as a spy or something “not natural” there. So your presence has to be so natural that not even the water birds fly away.
—————————————-
When it is time to climb the castle wall the shinobi should use a “kaginawa” (hooked rope) or use “kogai” these are long metal pins that the samurai (bushi) would use for many reasons, originally they were used to scratch the head while wearing a helmet, the kogai are easy to carry and the shinobi can use them to wedge in between the castle rocks to help climb up and in.

Jinshu Shinobi no Narai
Infiltration of armed troops
Being able to infiltrate armies is very important, when doing this you should prepare to beat the retreat at any moment.
To do this the enemy has to be diverted with wolf smoke, being shot by the allied sides, if this is not possible you should infiltrate the at the same time that the troops are starting to march.
***** WOLF SMOKE: In Japanese Noroshizutsu means wolf smoke pipe. Noroshi was used to send signals. Ninjas were good at getting and sending information. As a fuel for noroshi, Ninjas put dry wolf’s dung into the pipe. The reason why ninjas used wolf dung because it added more smoke and more power. *****
An old tradition says that you should know and easily master the way the enemy soldiers stand and sit down, as well as their signs passwords and methods of saluting.
the technique of blending in to the crowd should only be attempted once you have solidly established your presence in that area, if you hear that people are talking about this or that, gain as much information as you can. (Tomo Ryu Waza called Kage no Kamae)
