I like both, but I would prefer to be a ninja. I like stealth. The less I'm recognized the better.

Calling the characters of Naruto Ninja's is like calling the characters of twilight vampires...doesn't work in my eyes. Don't get me wrong, rather read Naruto then twilight but, in my eyes i don't see them as Shinobi in the slightest.
That said though, my allegiance is to the shadows and therefore the ninja's...maybe i can show those idiot's how a TRUE shinobi functions. Already got my outfit and sword ready to go:

To be completely honest, I would want to be a Pirate. Being on the ocean all of the time would suck, I admit, but being alone as a Ninja would suck. Lets see... Maybe if I was a pirate in an airship. That would be epic.
Pirates have a crew, rum, do whatever they want, pillage, be merry. Being public enemy no. 1 would suck but hey, you're with friends. And the crew will do whatever it takes to save each other... after they watch out for their own hides. The best part is, because a crew could have so many people, that one could technically hide in plain sight and be overlooked if some sort of police came by in a town. As long as you have some sort of skill that makes you stand out, may it be sharpshooting, swordplay, charisma, or breaking-and-entering, you'd be valued and respected.
Ninjas are usually bound by some sort of code. They have someone like a master over them that they must always respect. Even if they weren't, being alone without meaningful social contact would be gruesome. Being a ninja would mean having a few arch rivals that would keep you on your toes and stressed out a lot. Even if I could be completely god-like, what's the point if I couldn't show it off to friends without risking their lives by being associated with me. Being alone, there'd be no goals other than personal gain. What's the point if you can teleport, run across water, be invincible etc.?
There's a lot of different types of Pirates and Ninjas, I understand. My 'common' vision of a pirate is one with a leader and a crew. My 'common' idea of a ninja is one that runs around by itself killing everyone like Ninja Gaiden.

If we're talking about anime, then neither. If we're talking about Pirates of the Caribbean and...I don't know, "Ninja Assassin", then Pirates. They're less skilled, but they have more fun.
Real Pirate or Ninja? Ninja.
One Piece Pirate or Naruto Ninja though? Meh. Neither one really impress me at this point. I was never big on One Piece and I stopped caring about Naruto a long time ago. Still watch them every now and aging but, like I said, meh.

Okay, I know the chainmail bikini thing is well-known by now... but look at that picture. That's for heavy combat?Dulcinea said:One would argue neither are equipped for heavy combat for a reason - they don't engage in it.Kitsuna10060 said:nether (btw, both those shows suck)
nether are equipped for heavy combat, thus both are fail
really should be an 'other' option to
I'm fairly sure that image of yours isn't equipped for deep-sea diving.
On topic, pirates have had a big impact on Western history. Pivateers, etc.

What game is that picture from?! IT'S AWESOME!!!
Ninjas all the fuckin' way!!
I'd rather a subtle and calm killer in a snazzy black outfit, armed with some of the COOLEST weapons of all time INCLUDING THE KATANA.
YOU PEOPLE ARE FORGETTING THE KATANA!
Pirates are just criminals with a thousand diseases, shitty intelligence and weaponry and a really stupid accent. Arrrrgh. So they have ships. So what? A ninja could just stealth over the sea. DUH.
It is Hotsuma, the lead character from the Ps2 version of Shinobi, arguably one of Sega's best 3D games ever (Seriously sega, just make another Shinobi game..i mean, gotta be leagues better then the crappy sonic games coming out nowadays). It's insanely hard though, so don't go into it think it's gonna be a walk in the park.Digi7 said:GASPS!!Infernai said:Calling the characters of Naruto Ninja's is like calling the characters of twilight vampires...doesn't work in my eyes.

but as a rule, i prefer heavy combat to the sneaksy stuff, and both pirates and ninja are sneaksy, light combat types
one just has less subtle weapons then the other
I truly dispise both of the anime.
But anyway, Necromancer Samurai are under-represented here. I take offense to this.
