If you want to be a real shinobi you need to remember some basic principals.
1.) Ninjutsu is not a martial art, it is the art of espionage and guerrilla warfare along with sabotage. It involves trickery, so if you wish to be a real shinobi you cannot be the type of person to be confrontational.
2.) Real shinobi would never resort to flashy mudra if you are going for accuracy. Shinobi were revered for their subtlety, and more often than not if a real shinobi was on an assignment, they would use weapons fitted for silent kills, such as wires or knives slitting throats. They would never use anything that would cause needless attention to themselves. I recommend looking up real weapons that a ninja would use (being tantos, kunai -which are just repurposed farming tools- caltrops, and poisons.)
3.) Choose your attire appropriately. A real ninja fits into their surroundings, and camouflage is their best means of defense. This does not mean wear a white uniform when in a snowy environment, instead bring a white coat, and then shed it once you are in a place like a castle or a cavern to help you keep hidden. Also, hiding is a ninja's main objective if suspicion is raised, if the need arises they will abandon assignments in order to preserve their identity and thus the identity of the person they hired.Â
I highly recommend not using the ninja af as it has metallic pieces that could give you away. The most subtle ninja outfit (And most accurate might I add) is the ilvl 115 attire you can get from the market boards. It completely covers the face, has a very small amount of reflective sections, and can be dyed.Â
Also unlike popular media, a real shinobi never wears black because it still sticks out in the dead of night. The moon casts a blue wavelength, and shinobi of the Iga province used dark navy blue as their color of choice as it helped make them hard to spot at night time.
4.) Their lifestyle is also important to mimic, a real ninja was trained to the tiniest of details, such as using shuriken stars to fool an opponent and take advantage of superstitions, or to just sleep on their left sides at all times. (This was to make it easier to protect their heart while they slept, their left arm would cover the front of their chest where their heart would be.)
5.) Be tactical as well, if something goes wrong like being caught in the act, you need to have thought something out far beforehand. Having caltrops to impede pursuers was a nice move used by ninja to escape, so make sure you have contingency plans.
I really hope all of this helps.
