You have no idea who you are dealing with.
1. The ninja inspired fear in his opponents, including samurai. It is very hard to fight an opponent who you are afraid of.
2. The Samurai wore their armor a better portion of the day with their armor on. They trained in it and praying in it, both taking a good deal of their day up.
3. Samurai are not faster, they use brawn to their advantage, Ninjas use speed.
4. A samurai knew only how to use several weapons, where as Ninjas were trained to use anything as a weapon. If a samurai was without a sword, he was a major disadvantage.
5. The ninja clans actually served under Samurai warlords in order to deal with enemies, and during this time the Ninja clans lost very few people.
6. The ninja clans were used up until the turn of the 20th century, when guns made then obsolete, the samurai lasted only until mid-18th, when most of then were either killed or merged with mordern society, teaching their children. Those principles would re-emerge right before world war 2.
