Ninja - The First Half
Last night I stumbled on a TV program that features Iga city, the birthplace of Ninja.
Today I want to share about Ninja, but the story is a bit long so I divide it into two posts.
Iga is located in Mie prefecture. I didn't know that Ninja originated from farmers who had fought with each other to get farmland. Iga is surrounded by mountains, and lands suitable for agriculture are few. Those farmers were getting accustomed to fighting with each other customizing farm tools like weapons to get farmlands.
Futhermore, these mountains around Iga are very steep and rough, so many followers of Buddhism and Shintoism from all over Japan used to enter the mountains to train themselves by enduring ascetic practices there. This is one of these religious customs. Iga's farmers knew the mountains' details and guided these followers, then they practiced together. These practices gave the farmers some knowledge like how to use fire and trained themselves to fight at battles.
To be continued in the second half.
忍者 - 前編 -
夕べテレビを見ていたら、たまたま忍者の発祥地、伊賀市を特集している番組に出くわした。今日は忍者について書こうと思うのだけど、ちょっ長いので投稿を２つに分けます。
伊賀は三重県に所在している。忍者のルーツは農地をめぐって戦っていた農民とは知らなかった。伊賀は山々に囲まれ、農業に適した土地が少ない。農民達は農地を手に入れようと農具を改造して武器として使い、お互いに戦っていた。
さらに、伊賀周辺の山々は非常に険しく荒く、日本各地から仏教や神道の多くの信者達が山に入り行者修行をしていた。これは宗教的慣行の１つである。伊賀の農民達は山に詳しかったので彼らを道案内した。その時、一緒に修行も行った。この修行は農民達に火の使い方等の知識を与え、農民達を戦争で戦えるほど鍛えていった。

A lot of people pluralize Ninja as Ninjas. But both are OK!
Today I want to sharetell you about Ninja, but the story is a bit long so I will divide it into two posts.

Iga is surrounded by mountains, and lands suitable for agriculture are fewis scarce.
Those farmers were getting accustomed to fighting with each other customiz, turning farm tools likeinto weapons to get farmlands.
"The" sounds more natural here since you're talking about a specific group of farmers that you already mentioned.
These practices gave the farmers some knowledge like how to use fire and trained themselveshow to train to fight atin battles.
Feedback
Interesting, I didn't know that Ninjas originated from ascetic practices! I am interested to see how they become the Ninjas we know today in the second half.

I don't know how other natives would feel, but I think that "stumbled upon/across" is best used when you are talking about encountering something in actual physical space.
