He becomes like the element of water ,free flowing and precise with every strike .His moves are like that of a beautiful dance but deadly at the same time .
The minimal time it takes to train in specific traditions of Ninjutsu is at least 20 years for the physical aspect of training and another 20 for the spiritual aspect of the Art. I know because I trained for 15 years, and I was nowhere near done. Keanu only learned what he needed to "look" the part of a good fighter. Keanu I give him credit for training because his screen characters called for it, BUT he is absolutely nowhere near deadly with his skills from The Matrix or John Wick.
This made me smile so much. As a child, I always loved NINJAS. It's wonderful to see a NINJA actually roaming the planet. Plus the last living Ninja. Great Stuff.
For many years we thought Sho Kosugi was the last living ninja, then we learnt he had a son, then this guy. I'm sure there are at least a few more ninja out there in the world.
I recall, the year was 1985. I started Ninjutsu training as a teen. Back then, the most prominent were the Koga and Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu. Stephen K Hayes, a student of the great Hatsumi, was one of the first teachers id known. I'm 54 now, but I've not trained for at least 15 years. My favorite weapon will always be the Ninja sword. I can at least say that I've not forgotten much of my skills with various weapons such as the Jutte, manriki kusari, Kusari gama, kama ,shuriken and such. Besides the difficult training it was so much fun, especially the nunchaku. I still get crazy with those today. 🙂
I wish you could teach me things like this .I've been shot ,stabbed and put into a coma .I have no real knowledge of fighting but have somehow survived the things I've been put through .To be disciplined and have a steady hand would be cool and beneficial in my life .I'm tired of the street gangs beating me up and picking on me .
@@raysaldana4376 the way gangs are, if you did learn some serious fighting skills, they would only retaliate. Gangs and gang members are weak willed and weak minded. They need strength in numbers to feel powerful.

The Ninja mentality, the true ninja did not need a personal army, they were "lone fighters", not so called assassins but protectors of their people in ancient times. The Shogun of the time were ruthless and greedy so the people of the mountains needed a way to protect themselves, and so the way of the Ninja was born. Protect yourself by gaining knowledge of mind before body. Because the body follows the mind. A weak spirit makes a strong body with skillful and deadly abilities, useless.

I love how he adheres to guarding his face. Even all these centuries later. Thank you so much for sharing what true shinobi is all about Sasuke San! Its amazing and a little surreal to hear the wisdom and spiritual aspects. I always presumed the way of a Ninja was a strict and military life. To hear you talk of free thinking is very intriguing!
Very cool. I went to the ninja show in Iga when I lived in Osaka. It was excellent - they showed a huge number of skills and there was a lot of humour in the show too. As I was the only big hairy gaijin in the audience, they picked me to come on stage and have a go with the dart blow gun. It was a great experience.
Sounds like an awesome experience you had. I believe you’re talking about “Fukiya (吹き矢)” in Japanese, but I’ve never tried that yet. Anyway, thanks for sharing! - Yasu
I absolutely LOVE Japanese history. I just took out 10k from my bank account to buy an authentic (ancient) Samauri Katana. I've looked at several from the Edo Period. These swords are not only weapons, but they are beautiful works of art.
As a Wushu/Sanda/Muay-Thai practitioner since decades the techniques I ever used used in real street fight was the techniques i learnt from a couple of classes of Ninjutsu at the very beginning of my MA-career. Fast, effective and with no mess. Really splendid.
Jayzeus so you practice Chang quan or XinyiQuan? Guess Pentak Silat’s next. I noticed some gunshu in the bo work here. Is he an zigs practitioner? There’s a cool Ninja Hotel/Dojo near Kyoto in Iga
Strangely in most mma forums Ninjitsu as a combat art is rubbished due to no pressure testing. While Sanda and Muay Thai are full combat styles which have real world fighting pedigree. Curious to know what you think of this take?
@@ZamWeazle Real Ninjutsu is like a combat form of Jiu-Jitsu. And it works quite well as such. But in order to squeeze the best out if it you should probably have some additional experience in kick-boxing. The same goes for Judo and Jiu-Jitsu. But I hold Ninjutsu in a pretty high esteem due to the fact that teach techniques that don´t fit into sport fighting.
@@fimfengius What I meant was has combat Ninjitsu fighting been pressure tested. Not just doing techniques to a compliant person. This is what you see as the main component of criticism. Personally I'm just playing devils advocate as I don't know. But I hear it often on MA forums
In the 80’s when I was at school I used to train in Ninjutsu and various other forms of martial arts under Roy Booth in the UK. Nowadays I’m a Judoka. It’s all good👍excellent film
Having been educated in mankind's world, I also studied leadership and character building. This gentleman is clearly a student of both.

Since I was a little boy I wanted to be a Ninja. Cool video. I don't know where you're going with the channel, but, I think Sankeien in Yokohama would be great to see or Kamakura temple's, Enoshima, cherry blossoms in Ueno, and Zoorasia. Thanks great content as always.

I Remember the Last Ninja Documentary. I was wondering if you knew him. I have so much to learn from this channel and yours now. A deep and heartfelt bow to you all. May whatever god is up there bless and keep you.
Thanks you for you warm comment, that’s encouraging to hear. For the last ninja, are you talking about Jinichi Kawakami sensei? (he’s actually the master of Sasuke-san) Hatsumi-sensei is also famous but for a different ryu-ha. Anyway, hope you enjoy other videos on our channel too 😊
Hey man, thanks! Yeah he’s got various impressive skills to demonstrate besides the ones in this video. Now I feel like watching some Ninja films 😎 - Yasu
8:46, That's quite the claim when people such as Masaaki Hatsumi and Toshishiro Obata still live and train in their own Ryu (although Hatsumi I believe recently retired from training full time as he is now 89).
exactly , lol. There are thousands of people studying and practising Ninjutsu. Togakure Ryu has been around, unbroken, for over a thousand years. The Hat man is retired for awhile now but has been succeeded by Tsutsui Takumi who is the 35th Soke or Grandmaster. Guess he and the entire Bujinkan don't count :D
Hatsumi inherited the 9 ryuha from Takamatsu, but in the beginning, Hatsumi taught Togakure Ryu along with bits from the other 8 lesser known schools. His dojo was called Bujinkan then, not the system. In the 70's he named it Bujinkan Ninpo Taijutsu. From then until sometime in the 80's he taught more the ninjutsu aspect of the schools. Then that's when the system changed to Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu - which has no longer focused on the ninjutsu aspect of the ryuha as much. The reason why it's associated with ninjutsu is because if it's beginning under Hatsumi, and, because the succession of soke being ninja who took ownership of samurai schools. It's not so much that the schools are 'ninjutsu' - it's that they were some the schools available during the periods of Japan when ninja were used and were active. If you are training Bujinkan today, you are not doing ninjutsu, you are doing essentially a sampler platter of some of the Koryu bujutsu arts.
I tried learning off observation when I was younger and Frank dux gave the basics of the training I did everyday after school walk one foot in front of the other the whole way up the hills n down them. Technics are hardest to learn off observation yet talk to a master and innerstand what he or she is saying will stick with you better than emulation.
These guys were basically SAS/Commando/Special Forces/SEALS of the day. They trained in a range of hand to hand combat and armed combat, ranged weapons, reconnaissance, concealment and survival. Exactly the same as modern spec operators.
Nice Video but it left me wondering What about Soke Masaaki Hatsumi and the Bujinkan dojo? Does Mr. Sasuke and Mr. Kawakami know him? Why isn’t him mentioned here. Different style? Clans perhaps?
Yes, you guessed it right. Here’s something that I replied to someone else: Mr. Masaaki Hatsumi is the 34th successor of the Togakushi-ryu (戸隠流) Ninjutsu, and eight other styles of Ninjutsu such as Gyokushin-ryu and Kumogakure-ryu. Sasuke-san’s master is Mr. Jinichi Kawakami, who’s 21st successor of Kouka-ryu (甲賀流) which is one of the two major traditional Ninjutsu styles along with Iga-ryu (伊賀流). And Mr. Hatsumi’s Togakure-ryu incorporated many essence from Iga-ryu. - Yasu
@SP98 I wouldn't put forth the energy worrying about why Hatsumi was not mentioned. This video showcases performance art that has nothing to do with Bujinkan/Genbukan/Jinenkan.
@@JapanGo Thanks Yasu, I'm always fascinated whenever I see content (video/news/mini doc) about Ninjutsu or Ninjas in Japan and there's no mention of the other traditional styles/schools like you explained. I appreciate your reply. 🥷
@@caseyalexander2244 @Casey Alexander I know, I've trained for years with the Bujinkan organization. is also the term ”the last Ninja" that intrigues me. when technically every style successor is " the last Ninja"
I’ve studied with Steven Hayes and many great people under Hatsumi for over a decade. This is definitely performance art as I can tell but his skills are wonderful and dangerous if applied martially of course. As far as I know Hatsumi is the Well it is drawn from at this point. Weird he isn’t mentioned.
@@tuchesuavae Nope, way too late. You can’t just go in some forest and expect a ninja to train you in the arts. He needs to keep dreaming. Or go to a ninja academy.
I was going to say 'oh boy here is another so called ninja', but I am extremely shocked and thankful to have watched this. This guy right here is the real deal! and he knows what he is teaching and talking about. You can tell he has trained years to master his art. There is so much bullshit in todays world surrounding martial arts. Almost every time you see people being called 'martial arts experts' or 'ninjas' it is just some person with a blackbelt or mma training doing a bunch of gymnastics. A true ninja, or a martial arts expert for that matter is not a person doing a bunch of flips and fancy spinning kicks.
How come people with 0 ninja experience are claiming this guy is real lol. Keanu Reeves is so famous it's easy too look up every bit of training he has had through his entire career. This video is fake for the views lol.
I'm From Brazil, São Paulo , and I always loved and Very interested in Ninja Cultura. Thanks tô show more. I'm felling só Nostálgico, I can remember Ninja Jiraya with Master Masaaki Hatsumi, that' amazing
Glad to see people practicing the old arts & keeping both tradition & innovation alive thru real people in this modern era . I was privileged to see The Master of Masters in action in 1973 - 74 & from the old wizened appearance I had made the wrong assumption that the old arts would soon be dead as soon as he went from this world to the next ! We need real warrior spirit now , more than ever ! Thanks You , Again ! Nick , NavyBlueSmoke , LST-1195
I got into ninjas as a 12 year old boy like most. The greatest appeal to me was the "free thinking" aspect of the craft. There was a practicality, adaptability, and lack of ridgit thought baked into the practice.

I love how he adheres to guarding his face. Even all these centuries later. Thank you so much for sharing what true shinobi is all about Sasuke San! Its amazing and a little surreal to hear the wisdom and spiritual aspects. I always presumed the way of a Ninja was a strict and military life. To hear you talk of free thinking is very intriguing!
Thanks for the love,care and support.
It's a pleasure talking to you over here,where are you from??
Very cool. I went to the ninja show in Iga when I lived in Osaka. It was excellent - they showed a huge number of skills and there was a lot of humour in the show too. As I was the only big hairy gaijin in the audience, they picked me to come on stage and have a go with the dart blow gun. It was a great experience.
Sounds like an awesome experience you had. I believe you’re talking about “Fukiya (吹き矢)” in Japanese, but I’ve never tried that yet. Anyway, thanks for sharing! - Yasu
@Stephen Vergopoulos You spelled happened wrong, prick. 🤦♂️
Great to see the art of ninjutsu being taught even these days!
Facts I'm souly focused on what he says
@@mynameismyname9335 they teach ninja skills still?
@@randomposts.o_0609 I'm up right now looking @ how to become a Witcher...if they are teaching people how to be ninjas..it must be needed....
@@mynameismyname9335 oh thx tho
@@randomposts.o_0609 oh yeah..look up Atlantean gardens...alot of people speak of secrets starting there...
This is so beyond badass.
Yeah, he’s amazing 🤩 - Yasu
How about cleaning your own room? Nobody says that's badass. I think it is!
@@thedarkyellowpages4016 I mean, cleaning with or without ninja finesse? That's the crucial question.
I absolutely LOVE Japanese history. I just took out 10k from my bank account to buy an authentic (ancient) Samauri Katana. I've looked at several from the Edo Period. These swords are not only weapons, but they are beautiful works of art.
Same here. I always. Enjoyed the cultural part of Japan since I was a kid. And. China to. /well all asia. Is. Amazing. . The history is. Amazing
As a Wushu/Sanda/Muay-Thai practitioner since decades the techniques I ever used used in real street fight was the techniques i learnt from a couple of classes of Ninjutsu at the very beginning of my MA-career. Fast, effective and with no mess. Really splendid.
Jayzeus so you practice Chang quan or XinyiQuan? Guess Pentak Silat’s next. I noticed some gunshu in the bo work here. Is he an zigs practitioner? There’s a cool Ninja Hotel/Dojo near Kyoto in Iga
Strangely in most mma forums Ninjitsu as a combat art is rubbished due to no pressure testing.
While Sanda and Muay Thai are full combat styles which have real world fighting pedigree.
Curious to know what you think of this take?
@@ZamWeazle Real Ninjutsu is like a combat form of Jiu-Jitsu. And it works quite well as such. But in order to squeeze the best out if it you should probably have some additional experience in kick-boxing. The same goes for Judo and Jiu-Jitsu. But I hold Ninjutsu in a pretty high esteem due to the fact that teach techniques that don´t fit into sport fighting.
@@fimfengius What I meant was has combat Ninjitsu fighting been pressure tested. Not just doing techniques to a compliant person.
This is what you see as the main component of criticism. Personally I'm just playing devils advocate as I don't know. But I hear it often on MA forums
In the 80’s when I was at school I used to train in Ninjutsu and various other forms of martial arts under Roy Booth in the UK. Nowadays I’m a Judoka. It’s all good👍excellent film
Ah, very nice hear that and yeah, Judo is great🥋 - Yasu
Did you train in the grounds of the church of derby road.? Togakure Ryu ninjitsu
Sasuke-san. Lol. I am not disappointed with real life Sasuke-san. Made me love the anime Sasuke concept even more tbh.
Completely awesome! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Having been educated in mankind's world, I also studied leadership and character building. This gentleman is clearly a student of both. It is obvious in how he is quite approachable and kind, while his listening audience clearly knows his skills are both lethal and definite; the hallmarks of a complete master and statesman.
What a humble guy. Loved this.
Humble people. Are. Nice to meet .. I don’t want to meet bullies. Or. Criminals. Only. Humble minded people
Camera man be like ,"Now I have to run around the forest too".
Haha! Exactly. Julian had to run around the forest with him 😆 - Yasu
@@JapanGo A part of his job though 😆
Yeah, which I appreciate ☺️ - Yasu
Since I was a little boy I wanted to be a Ninja. Cool video. I don't know where you're going with the channel, but, I think Sankeien in Yokohama would be great to see or Kamakura temple's, Enoshima, cherry blossoms in Ueno, and Zoorasia. Thanks great content as always.
Cool, I appreciate that! In fact, we should get ready for the cherry blossoms soon, it can be in Ueno or Nakameguro. I haven't been there yet, but Zoorasia seems cool too. Anyway, thanks! - Yasu
and now ? time ago another guy confessed that his dream in childhood was being a ninja ,he wrote in comments in a video like this but also confessed that now is a plumber LOL
imagen how awersoame it would be to train with him he also seems like a real martial artist
Yes, I felt that he’s a great martial artist too. He should be offering some tutorials at his Instagram, so you can check that in the description - Yasu
This video was worth watching just to see how he draws the Odachi.
And noto. That was beautiful.
I Remember the Last Ninja Documentary. I was wondering if you knew him. I have so much to learn from this channel and yours now. A deep and heartfelt bow to you all. May whatever god is up there bless and keep you.
Thanks you for you warm comment, that’s encouraging to hear. For the last ninja, are you talking about Jinichi Kawakami sensei? (he’s actually the master of Sasuke-san) Hatsumi-sensei is also famous but for a different ryu-ha. Anyway, hope you enjoy other videos on our channel too 😊
This man's name is "SASUKE"
Well chidori⚡🔥
You think he got Sharingan?
@@akashchowdhury7060 may be 🤷🏽♂️
Sharingan, Sasuke Uchiha
Very cool video, some really impressive skills on display! It reminded me of days spent watching ninja films on VHS back in the 80s 😁
Hey man, thanks! Yeah he’s got various impressive skills to demonstrate besides the ones in this video. Now I feel like watching some Ninja films 😎 - Yasu
Yes! Sho Kosugi, Godfrey Ho... 80s ninja movies on VHS were the shit and I'll fight anyone who says different. :D
Thank you for all your love and support dear, feel free to contact me on Google hangout at keanu7589@gmail.com
Same I had a beta. And a vhs
@@wallrider73 Sho Kosugi is the"Bruce Lee"of Ninja World
7:00 Keanu bowing back, my man!
Keanu Reeves fan of ninjas :)
8:46, That's quite the claim when people such as Masaaki Hatsumi and Toshishiro Obata still live and train in their own Ryu (although Hatsumi I believe recently retired from training full time as he is now 89).
exactly , lol. There are thousands of people studying and practising Ninjutsu. Togakure Ryu has been around, unbroken, for over a thousand years. The Hat man is retired for awhile now but has been succeeded by Tsutsui Takumi who is the 35th Soke or Grandmaster. Guess he and the entire Bujinkan don't count :D
Hatsumi inherited the 9 ryuha from Takamatsu, but in the beginning, Hatsumi taught Togakure Ryu along with bits from the other 8 lesser known schools. His dojo was called Bujinkan then, not the system. In the 70's he named it Bujinkan Ninpo Taijutsu. From then until sometime in the 80's he taught more the ninjutsu aspect of the schools. Then that's when the system changed to Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu - which has no longer focused on the ninjutsu aspect of the ryuha as much. The reason why it's associated with ninjutsu is because if it's beginning under Hatsumi, and, because the succession of soke being ninja who took ownership of samurai schools. It's not so much that the schools are 'ninjutsu' - it's that they were some the schools available during the periods of Japan when ninja were used and were active. If you are training Bujinkan today, you are not doing ninjutsu, you are doing essentially a sampler platter of some of the Koryu bujutsu arts.
Love From India.. !!🙏
Never to late! I do it on & off but would still like to take my training more consistently serious it’s very humbling!!
Sounds good, I agree it’s never too late! - Yasu
I tried learning off observation when I was younger and Frank dux gave the basics of the training I did everyday after school walk one foot in front of the other the whole way up the hills n down them. Technics are hardest to learn off observation yet talk to a master and innerstand what he or she is saying will stick with you better than emulation.
7:39 - everyone was put under genjutsu.
Loved this he Ninja always. The outfit, sword, stars,, everything 🥷 🙇♂️
These guys were basically SAS/Commando/Special Forces/SEALS of the day. They trained in a range of hand to hand combat and armed combat, ranged weapons, reconnaissance, concealment and survival. Exactly the same as modern spec operators.
im a Real Special Forces Commando,Strike first,Strike hard....infiltrante by land,sea or air,exfiltrate....
2:15 look at how he spins the sword.
Indeed! - Yasu
Back is my days we used to slap the spinners on erthang
It is called shiburi
@@martin7002 Amazing
I thought he's going to do Chidori in the Intro.
That last shout gave me goose bumps
Ninjitsu is My absolute favorite Martial Art, its the best, so mysterious, unique, beautiful, basically stands for Freedom, in my opinion.
ninjutsu in real life not some like in anime naruto right??
This dude doesn’t make a sound when he jumps around...he must be real.
Ever heard of mute !
So he is sasuke where is his susano sharigan and rinnegan
Nice Video but it left me wondering What about Soke Masaaki Hatsumi and the Bujinkan dojo? Does Mr. Sasuke and Mr. Kawakami know him? Why isn’t him mentioned here. Different style? Clans perhaps?
Yes, you guessed it right. Here’s something that I replied to someone else:
Mr. Masaaki Hatsumi is the 34th successor of the Togakushi-ryu (戸隠流) Ninjutsu, and eight other styles of Ninjutsu such as Gyokushin-ryu and Kumogakure-ryu.
Sasuke-san’s master is Mr. Jinichi Kawakami, who’s 21st successor of Kouka-ryu (甲賀流) which is one of the two major traditional Ninjutsu styles along with Iga-ryu (伊賀流). And Mr. Hatsumi’s Togakure-ryu incorporated many essence from Iga-ryu. - Yasu
@SP98 I wouldn't put forth the energy worrying about why Hatsumi was not mentioned. This video showcases performance art that has nothing to do with Bujinkan/Genbukan/Jinenkan.
@@JapanGo Thanks Yasu, I'm always fascinated whenever I see content (video/news/mini doc) about Ninjutsu or Ninjas in Japan and there's no mention of the other traditional styles/schools like you explained. I appreciate your reply. 🥷
@@caseyalexander2244 @Casey Alexander I know, I've trained for years with the Bujinkan organization. is also the term ”the last Ninja" that intrigues me. when technically every style successor is " the last Ninja"
I’ve studied with Steven Hayes and many great people under Hatsumi for over a decade. This is definitely performance art as I can tell but his skills are wonderful and dangerous if applied martially of course. As far as I know Hatsumi is the Well it is drawn from at this point. Weird he isn’t mentioned.
Only a ninja can destroy a ninja 🙏🏻👺
Nice vod i love that thx . The art of ninjutsu is insane 😊
I wish I could go there and learn just like him
never too late
@@tuchesuavae Nope, way too late. You can’t just go in some forest and expect a ninja to train you in the arts. He needs to keep dreaming. Or go to a ninja academy.
I was going to say 'oh boy here is another so called ninja', but I am extremely shocked and thankful to have watched this. This guy right here is the real deal! and he knows what he is teaching and talking about. You can tell he has trained years to master his art. There is so much bullshit in todays world surrounding martial arts. Almost every time you see people being called 'martial arts experts' or 'ninjas' it is just some person with a blackbelt or mma training doing a bunch of gymnastics. A true ninja, or a martial arts expert for that matter is not a person doing a bunch of flips and fancy spinning kicks.
How come people with 0 ninja experience are claiming this guy is real lol. Keanu Reeves is so famous it's easy too look up every bit of training he has had through his entire career. This video is fake for the views lol.
I'm From Brazil, São Paulo , and I always loved and Very interested in Ninja Cultura. Thanks tô show more. I'm felling só Nostálgico, I can remember Ninja Jiraya with Master Masaaki Hatsumi, that' amazing
Jiraya me sono a Jiraiya de Naruto
Masaaki hatsumi it's real ninja, his technique is real deal.
@@yogi8337 we Know about him since Jiraya
@@yogi8337 Hatsumi is good with blades......but hand to hand its no so effective
Cleanest ninja i've seen. There is a saying; "A knight in shining armor is a man who has never had his metal truly tested"
Thank you and greetings from Sweden🙏
I've often wondered how many true ninjas still exist in Japan. They were great warriors once and I hope they can be again someday if not still today.
Well, the don't in the context of this video. They do, in the context of Navy Seals and CIA operations officers.
@@caseyalexander2244 Theres is a Real case in USA that a Real Ninja invaded a Commando Training camp and the security guards did not see him.
His brother Anilated their whole clan that's why he is some of the last ninjas left
Hello dear
Pretty dope odachi, didn't know people still trained with them though
Yea I was pretty surprised the first time I saw it!

Ninja master : choose your weapon . . .

Ninja master : you now ready . . .
Brilliant Perfectly Strong and Simple Beautiful Work & Perfect Video ❤❤❤
Glad to see people practicing the old arts & keeping both tradition & innovation alive thru real people in this modern era . I was privileged to see The Master of Masters in action in 1973 - 74 & from the old wizened appearance I had made the wrong assumption that the old arts would soon be dead as soon as he went from this world to the next ! We need real warrior spirit now , more than ever ! Thanks You , Again ! Nick , NavyBlueSmoke , LST-1195
Thanks for sharing your story, glad to hear! 😎
In the next episode we will show you how to use Susano like a pro

Indeed. We need more authentic ninjas like him in Japan - Yasu
I’ve been practicing Ninjutsu since 1986!
I use to hate wearing mask in public, after watching this, I feel inspired and walk like ninja in mall
Imagine our military learning this. Especially the seal teams.
These are basically archaic military tecniques that is no longer applicable today. E.g: insurgents now have thermal optics. Good luck ninja.
@@kevinbaltazar9824 thermal ninja seal team 7
It is just military martial arts of medivial and ancient times focused on stealth do not hype it because of movies.
I had training formally in high school I hold green belt from my private training
That nodachi is sooo daaamn SEEEXYYY!!!
Thats a katana or maybe wakizashi, a nodachi is way too long.
2:18 Im impressed by how he brought the sword back to its sheath without even looking at it
5:19 I saw a familiar face back there as a judge...Kawakami Jinichi sensei, the last successor of Koga Ninja Clan
I am the speed of light

Awesome!
@Eet given new name in eternal life Holy ghost Ima black hole then
Waiting for your own movie.
Just wait till he awakens the sharingan👀
Japan MUST preserve his AMAZING traditions! with ❤ from Europe
I got into ninjas as a 12 year old boy like most. The greatest appeal to me was the "free thinking" aspect of the craft. There was a practicality, adaptability, and lack of ridgit thought baked into the practice.
When some one tell that he's name is "Sasuke"
RUNN🙏🏽🏃🏽♂️
