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?

You say that like Final Fantasy ninjas haven't been using scrolls since Final Fantasy V.

And have you forgotten Final Fantasy I ninjas? Limited Black Magic was their defining trait!

Speaking of Final Fantasy I, let's talk about its wizards:

Being a mage is enough, but when you're a Black Wizard, you can teleport anywhere, turn your enemies to stone, get strong enough to kill dragons with a knife, banish your enemies to another dimension, reap their very souls, incinerate them with nuclear fusion, or stop time.

If you're a White Wizard, you can banish any magic, restore the dead to life perfectly, smite your foes with the power of God, or ward off death itself.

All with a word.

Y'don't need none of that. You need headology. Just use whatever y'got.
