Destiny we seek  Sacred task delivered  Way of the Ninja 

The Way of the Ninja is attained by only those that hold true to the values of the guild. Ninja are expected to follow these guidelines as they seek The Way. As the Ninja seek The Way, they may expect the following from those they meet along their path: There are many paths to be taken in search of The Way. It is the duty of the Sensei, Mentors, and Avatar to guide you on your path and to lead you back should you fall astray.
 * Every Ninja is responsible for protecting and upholding the honour of the guild. This is done through interactions with others, no matter rank, station, or profession.
 * The Ninja is bound to every other Ninja in the guild. To kill, steal from, or betray your comrades is to bring shame upon yourself. Inhuming of other Ninja is, however, allowed.
 * The Ninja has a duty to carry out the task of enlightenment humbly and professionally. Arrangements are not to be made with the soon to be enlightened and the contents of the contract scroll are to be treated confidentially.
 * The Ninja respects the dead and shall not desecrate the remains of the enlightened.
 * The Ninja bears the right to sell any item sold or created in the guild to outsiders. Ninja belts and headbands are the only exception.
 * Retaliation and self-defense from those chosen to be enlightened is an inherent danger. However, undue retribution for successful or failed inhumes will not be tolerated.
 * Foreign colleagues are welcome to use our facilities and to pursue the contracts on our scroll. Guests will be asked to follow these guidelines as well. Failing to do so may result in a restriction of privileges.

The Way of the Ninja under Osa Liquid Sasori, 3rd Sensei
In the service of,  our masters,  we reap and sow.

To give sweet release,  and by doing so,  know what it is to be alive.

Our life's purpose,  ''honour, dignity and pride.  We give ourselves.  ''

The Way of the Ninja
We are those in the service of the Way. Our life's objective is the constant search of the Way and of enlightenment. Molded by the needs of society, we have grown and have been given a purpose.

We are not warriors, wanderers, thieves or those would seek strength from a being that is beyond us. We search within and grow in the areas where our strength is needed most. As such, we, the Ninja, are not to stray from what we are. Below are the Laws that must be obeyed by all Ninja. Chant a sutra, and go where you must.

Attitude and Behaviour
Life constantly leads us to confrontation, but we must strive to use our strength only when needed. It has been decreed that we are not to show our strength, to the individuals who undertake the same tasks, which we undertake in Agatea. We are, however, allowed to defend ourselves with utmost brute is needed to vanquish any foe who would attack us. Under most circumstances, we are to behave with respect to our counterparts.

Ninjas are to respect authority and their elders above all. Ninjas of higher rank and age should also act accordingly not to place younger Ninja in a position where giving respect might be resentful. Courtesy and respect is important.

Worldly Dealings
Ninjas will continue to have the right to sell guild poisons or custom made poisons. Certain special guild items, such as our belts and headbands, can not be sold to anyone, under any circumstances. Corpse looting is absolutely not allowed and will not be tolerated by anyone, Ninja and non-Ninja alike. We shall give respect, and in turn want it returned to us.

Contracts
No Ninja shall discuss contracts with the soon-to-be enlightened. Equally, no arranged contracts are allowed. Looting from the corpses of the enlightened will also not be tolerated. These rules must be adhered to strictly.

Summary
Persons who violate anyone of these rules will be subjected to punishment as decreed by the Sensei.
 * Ninjas are to respect authority, rank and age.
 * Ninjas are not to interfer in the business(read: inhume) of other Ninja or Assassin specs. Other specs interfering in a ninja's business will be punished.
 * Ninjas are not to inform others of active contracts.
