the "do" means path or way so in essence nindo means my way of the ninja
Hence Naruto says "Ore no nindo da" it means My way of the ninja

I've always wondered what Ninpo means though.

The "cool" ninjas tend to say it in front of their big jutsus.

For example, when the 3rd summoned Enma, it was Ninpo Kuchyose(sp?)

I got the impression that Ninpo means "super" or something like that.

Anybody here know for sure?

The word "Ninpo" means "Ninja Technique" or "Ninja Arts" in direct english. Thats why they always say Ninpo before every jutsu. They are displaying that it is a Ninja technique. Hope I could help.

Ninpo is an actual martial art that can be learned. I know several people who are learning it o:

Um, yeah. Ninpo is basically a generic term for those learning actual ninjutsu or taijutsu.

Well actually Ninpo is a little bit different from Ninjutsu, because it has a more spiritual focus. Taijutsu is comepletely different as well.

Sorry, wasnt quite clear.

When I said taijutsu, I meant that ninjutsu was the ninja's style of taijutsu.

Damn, Viz really screwed up with their translation of Ninpo. Art of the Doppelganger....*runs into a dark alley and hides*.

Not everyone says Ninpo in their Jutsu names, because its kinda stupid and redundant to do so. It just sounds cooler, like Tsunade's regeneration jutsu. Instead of just "Souzou Saisei!" its "Ninpo: Souzou Saisei!" Definitely has a better ring to it
