On the first episode 12 year olds had to use chakra to clone themselves to graduate ninja school
it was never about your typical ninjas

I think I would have realized it was about ninjas though, because they primarily fight with ninja weapons and use stealth and misdirection tools.

kakashi, the only man looking like a real ninja.

note: naruto was first planned to be about magic.

Dude GTFO... there were plenty of ninjas back in the old days that fought with Green jumpsuits and hid in the dark with bright orange outfits.
