Generally speaking, regardless of whether in modern or ancient times, those who engage in the special profession of being a ninja and have reached the pinnacle naturally possess deeply-rooted confidence. Most ninjas usually have high statuses and are deemed as outstanding among their peers. Therefore, the more challenging the mission, the more it stimulates their fighting spirit and strength. When they find themselves outnumbered, they won't easily choose to back down. Even when in adversity, facing a small squad of special forces alone, they can skillfully exploit the terrain and stealth tactics to eradicate the enemy one by one. Hence, after being a formidable ninja for a long time, they naturally acquire some pride.
