Kumogakure Ryu Ninpo

The Hiding in the Clouds School

Kumogakure Ryu Ninpo was founded in the 16th century by Heinaisaemon Ienaga Iga, who was said to have learned his arts from Sarutobi Sasuke. The taijutsu of this school is very similar to the taijutsu of Togakure ryu. The main differences are, that in Komugakure ryu jumps as well as multiple blockings are used. The speciality of this school was Kamayari (sickled spear), which was also used for slombing on the ships. The special weapon, used by warriors of this school was also Ippon Sugi Noburi, which was made of a 25cm long metal tube with three spikes, and through which a long chain with hooks at its ends was laid. This weapon was considered for combat as well as for climbing.
