The Lin Kuei have been claimed to be the forerunners of the Japanese Ninja, also known as forest demons,[citation needed] were supposed to be an ancient secretive cult that operated in southern China about 3,500 years ago. They would have been assassins, with much of nothing ever written about them.[citation needed] Not much is known about their beginnings other than which has been passed down orally one generation to the next. The Lin Kuei were supposed to be masters of survival, thrive in the woods and make their living there adapting to the ways of nature. Image File history File links Circle-question-red. ...

However, there is no written contemporary evidence in english to show that they ever existed. It is possible that the chinese have written knowledge, but in the western world they were first mentioned in books in the 1980s that tried to cash in on the Ninja Boom of the time. It is not historically supported and no Chinese Martial Arts scholar or historian has ever credibly spoken of their existence.
It is accepted in japanese shinobi circles that much of the shinobi methods were imported from China, but the actual source is hotly debated. There is currently a large contingency trying to take economic advantage of this ambiguity, manufacturing conflicting histories that frankly just confuse the issue more.
Whatever the truth, both the lin kuei and the ninja would love the current state of things- confused and riddled with false images, a testament to their historical skills.
The forerunners of the Japanese Ninja, the LinKuei clan, also known as forest demons, were an ancient secretive cult that operated in northern China about 3,500 years ago.
The history of the LinKuei is dark and mysterious as the warriors’ very existence.
The LinKuei were masters of survival and they thrive in the woods and made their living there adapting to the ways of nature.
The LinKuei obtained technology that could vastly improve the effectiveness of their warriors, and they chose four of their number to undergo the procedure that would turn them into cyborg assassins: Smoke, Cyrax, and Sektor, and I. Smoke and I refused to participate, and fled the clan, who declared us anathema.
I moved the LinKuei to a remote area in the Arctic where they would not be disrupted and began training them as a force for good, teaching my students not only formidable fighting skills, but the value of life as well, turning them into wisened warriors rather than mindless assassins.
