How to become a Ninja

Ninja (Japanese: 忍者) are special penguins who defeated Sensei in Card-Jitsu. The Ninja Hideout used to be the ninjas' headquarters, until it was closed in 2013. Another headquarters was the Ninja Headquarters - which was accessible during Card-Jitsu Parties.

History

October 2008 and earlier

Before October 2008, ninjas were nothing more than rumors. Their only previous appearance were in Penguin Chat 3 - when pressing the letter "N" in the "N" in "Choose your penguin's color" menu, and in the old homepage - when pressing the letter "N" in Club Penguin's logo. There were about 1,000 ninjas in Penguin Chat 3.

Card-Jitsu Saga

According to the Card-Jitsu Saga, ninjas were not always trained in Card-Jitsu. They were trained in large groups, and they controlled the elements around them. After an incident regarding the apparent death of his friend Tusk, Sensei began creating Card-Jitsu to train ninjas better, and all ninja training ceased. Training restarted in November 2008. He subsequently began training ninjas in individual elements to prepare to battle Tusk, who was confirmed at some point to be alive.

November 2008

On November 3, 2008, when Dig Out The Dojo was taking place, a poster saying "Ninja" was seen when clicking all the lightbulbs at the Dojo. On November 14, 2008 ninjas were confirmed to be real by The Penguin Times. On November 17, 2008, as Card-Jitsu as released, it was first possible to become one.
