Yes and no. Ninjas can technically be considered wizards in some respects but not visa versa

Well, it kind of depends on who's enchanting the ninja scrolls and whether a ninja actually has valid powers outside of them. I consider scrolls more as just another trap, no more wizardly than a smoke bomb or throwing star.

Even if it's a magical smoke bomb or a throwing star that always returns to the thrower, that doesn't make the owner an actual magic-user.

When in the orange Hell did Naruto become about ninja?

Ninja myth has pretty much always had them as mystics of some sort, usually descended from magic monks. And Naruto is certainly not the first place where they've had magic scrolls.

While it may not be particularly accurate, Naruto weaves a lot of ninja mythology into its story. Of course, the whole thing went to hell anyway, but still.

Yeah was trying to set up that as a joke since blue made the comment on the scrolls

The baddies in Ninja Scroll were packing some weird magic shit. Though I don't know if they qualify as wizards or supers.

On ninja scrolls, pretty sure Shadow used them in FF6, and he was largely fairly traditional in his abilities and stuff. Given that and a few other good sources (not Naruto, I said GOOD sources!), it became pretty clear to me over time that it's just kind of part of the lore.

I gave it serious thought, and I choose superhero because I am not too fond with preparing spells daily or carrying around smell components. And ninja have always been cooler than pirates. Always.

Now, here is the question I have been asking myself since childhood:
Ghostbuster or Man in Black?
