To be honest, realm life Ninjas are a huge debate on if they even existed. What we imagine are actually stagehands in Kabuki plays. There was also a group of monks and so e underworld organizations, but none of them fit the bill. Then the guy claiming to be a ninja is probably lying, but who cares.
I don’t disagree, but my like perception of a “ninja” is also some peasant rowdy enough to be talked into killing someone with like a mask made out of straw and a slag iron sword. I think a lot of folks are assuming there was some kind of ninja equivalent to the pentagon where they’re all just hanging out

Look up Momotaro and Goemon. They both fit that image.
