Ninja or Samurai

I had a random thought this morning as I was in the shower. What would I rather be a Ninja or a Samurai? Yes, there is a difference between the two.

Ninja- an assassin or spy in Japanese culture, usually trained for stealth.






Samurai- a term for the military nobility in pre-industrial Japan. The word "samurai" literally means "to serve." A samurai is the servant of a lord.







So bascially the difference is that a Ninja is an assassin and a Samurai is an honorable military assassin.

So I ask you Ninja or Samurai?
