A ninja or shinobi (忍者?) be a covert agent or mercenary of feudal Japan specializing in unorthodox arts of war. The functions of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, assassination, as all right as open combat in certain situations.The underhanded devices of the ninja were contrasted with the samurai, who were thrifty not to tarnish their reputable image.
The origin of the ninja is obscure and difficult to determine, but can be surmised to be around the 14th century. Few written documents exist to detail the activities of the ninja.

The word ninjutsu would later come to describe a wide variety of practices relatein seventh heavenhe ninja.
The Iga and Kōga clans have come to describe families living in the province of Iga (modern Mie Prefecture) and the adjoining region of Kōka (later written as Kōga), named after a village in what is immediately Shiga Prefecture. From these regions, villages devoted to the training of ninjas first appeared. The remoteness and inaccessibility of the surrounding mountains may have had a role surrounded by the ninja's secretive development. Historical documents regarding the ninja's origins surrounded by these mountainous regions are considered generally correct. The chronicle Go Kagami Furoku writes, of the two clans' origins:
