Some say he was a Samurai who became a Ninja, others say there were no Samurai in his family. Neither is relevant to the skill he brought to the battlefield.
As is customary with spies, there are many confusing and conflicting reports and stories regarding history, background and motivations. Some of this is deliberate, because all warfare is based on deception, misinformation and lies are merely part of the characteristic strategy. For this reason, it is difficult to get a clear picture of the man himself, but easy to acknowledge his accomplishments.
Ninjitsu Training
These techniques and training enabled Hanzo to escort the future and first Shogun (Emperor), Ieyasu Tokugawa, through enemy territory to safety. Following the assassination of Oda Nobunaga during the chaos that preceded the unification of feudal Japan.
The most interesting point from Hattori Hanzo’s life, is that because of the secrecy surrounding his Ninja lifestyle, much of what he did, including his so-called powers will forever remain unknown. Furthermore, we don’t know anything about the tasks Tokugawa set for Hanzo when he was in his employ after he became Shogun. There may have been hundreds of epic missions, including assassinations, theft, espionage, scare-mongering, and more. The records of which were destroyed in the siege and burning of Osaka Castle.
