Shinobi Battle Armour

A predecessor of the Flak Jacket, Shinobi used to wear armor extremely similar to that of their Samurai counterparts. It boasted a much higher defense than the simple stealth clothing that the shinobi would wear on missions that weren't for battle due to being made of plate armor. Shinobi in Konoha continued to wear the Shinobi Armor until at least the First Shinobi World War, when in the second the transition into Flak Jackets began.
