@catsalad Ninjas (as we know them) didn't exist. Most of their lore was made up either as legends, for tourism, or are from movies
The real Shinobi were regular Samurai who did recon, sabotage and subterfuge, didn't use throwing stars, didn't use straight "ninja swords", and weren't assassins. In fact all the Ninja manuals are just quoting The Art of War, and are relatively mundane survival guides, like having recipes for Tofu
