Yes, it happens in the current issue 247. Harada’s history lesson:
Ninjas date back to the 15th Century Sengoku Period (not long before the discovery of America and about the same time as the construction of Machu Picchu and the Spanish Inquisition).
Samurai had codes of honor which made them less convenient for Lords and Princes than using ninja who were more flexible. The Koga and Iga Clans arose early.
The Arashikage was a minor rural Class which went largely unnoticed until the Meiji Restoration in 1868. Japan needed a secret service and several clans were recruited to for clandestine espionage organizations. During the Russo-Japanese War, the Arashikage demonstrated advanced infiltration and fighting but they refused to integrate with other clans. They remained aloof and retained their own secrets.
After WWI, the Arashikage claimed to retire and reformed themselves as a school. However it was still suspected that they were doing occasional contract work for the Japanese government (coming from Harada this just means that they WERE doing this work but he’s trying to keep it mysterious and not identify himself yet).
He then talks about the death of the Hard Master, the defection of Tomisaburo, the appearance onto the scene of Snake-Eyes and GiJoe, the creation of the Red Ninjas as a mercenary army, and hearsay about Firefly being connected somehow.
Cool, thanks, my memory isn't what it used to be and last year seems a long time ago! I may pick up the Dawn of the Arashikage trade as I like glimpses into the history of the clan.
