Skilled
First and foremost, you must find a good outfit to perform this task in. A more traditional choice would be this: 'Ninja Uniform Black', but many people these days prefer using something more simplistic, such as a simple ski mask ('Ski Masks / Eye Hole - Black').
The key to this business is to be in and out as fast as possible. Be professional and take no risks. This is the best way to live a long life, and make sure your target does not. Travel light, and once the job is done, make sure you are clean, but make your escape as quickly as possible. Have a pre-planned route for your exit, and follow it without at-the-moment changes. This way you know what to expect.
There are four major steps to taking out your target, each of them vital in their own way.
Scout The Target
You want to make sure you get a good plan of attack, so you should take plenty of time to find out your target's daily routine. If you get the time, enter their home/apartment building and scout the place out to find the best location for hiding. If you've done this before, allow me to suggest using this pick set 'Lock Technology Grand Master Lock Pick Set'. If you are a newcomer to the business, this ('Electric lockpick set') will do for your first attempt, and this CD ('The Locksmith cd-rom') can help you learn the proper technique. As for viewing your target from a distance, I encourage you to try these binoculars ('Canon 10x30 Image Stabilization Binoculars with Case, Neck Strap & Batteries') as their compact design will allow for easy storage.
Do The Deed
Once it comes time to sneak in on your target and take them out, there are several methods to do this. Allow me to suggest that you avoid the use of firearms, as they are complex and offer far too many possible problems. The simplest method of attack is with a compact hunting knife ('Columbia SportswearGallatin Range Hunting Knife'), inserted into various parts of the body. If it is impossible for you to gain access to your target at melee range, then use of either a traditional throwing weapon ('Small Throwing Stars') or a bow ('60" Fiberglass Recurve Bow') are your best options, as they are both quiet in comparison to a firearm. While some would argue that one need know very little about the physiology of a human being to truly be an effective killer, the best method for knowing how to take a life is to know all about what keeps that life around. To this end, I would encourage you to pick up a basic textbook ('Human Anatomy & Physiology, Sixth Edition') on the subject and study up. The more one knows about how it works, the more one can locate simple points to cut the line, so to speak.
Clean Up
After you have done the job, you now have 150+ pounds of raw meat on your hands that must be inconspicuously disposed of. While many people would suggest a trash bag and the bottom of a river, this is not an appropriate avenue for the true assassin. First, you must arrange the body in a more easy-to-carry way. The human body is made to be fairly durable, so some kind of saw ('Stanley 15-113 Contractor Grade High Tension Hacksaw') will be necessary for the task. After this, moving the meat will cause it's own problems. Walking around with a trash bag over your shoulder is fairly conspicuous, so it is better to use something that will draw less attention. Personally I've found the best way to accomplish this task, particularly in a college town, is to use a backpack ('Dana Design Sluiskin 45'). The rain-proof nature of this specific pack will be useful for keeping what fluids there may be inside of the pack. You'll also want to have a few trash bags on hand, then find some kind of a bookstore or library, place the backpack inside a trash bag, and toss it into a dumpster behind this building. Provided nothing leaks out, it will be easily ignored as a bag of thrown out books.
Trophies
This is really up to you. Some people take hands, fingers, pieces of jewelry, or pictures. This camera ('Canon PowerShot S500 5MP Digital Elph with 3x Optical Zoom') has served me well in the past, and you'll probably want to use a digital camera as getting them developed could cause problems.
Finally, remember the Golden Rule of Assassination. Do unto others before they do unto you. If you suspect someone knows of what you have done, then they will be an unfortunate but necessary next target. While this certainly provides plenty of practice, it can become quite tiresome. However, by the third or fourth person down the line, you should be skilled enough at the task to no longer need to worry about being caught, so the line ought to be finite.
Lastly, for more information about becoming a true ninja assassin, and more information on ninjas in general, seek out a copy of any of these books: 'The Mystic Arts of the Ninja', 'Real Ultimate Power: The Official Ninja Book', etc.
