Female Ninja AKA Aruki Miko
“Aruki miko” were one of several ninja groups serving the Takeda clan during the 15th and 16th centuries. Their most distinctive feature was that they consisted exclusively of female ninja, as no other group was organized in this way. Originally, the term “aruki miko” referred to shrine maidens who made their living by traveling around the country, performing rituals and delivering divine oracles. Takeda Shingen gathered young orphaned or abandoned girls who were considered exceptionally beautiful or intelligent, and trained them in the skills required of miko, as well as the basic literacy, espionage knowledge, and techniques necessary to operate as traveling shrine maidens. Because physical appearance and quick wits could confer many advantages in intelligence work, girls who were both attractive and resourceful were especially prized.
As they traveled they identified other young women with the looks and aptitude to become aruki miko. Such girls were recruited and then raised as female ninja. It is said that some miko even fell in love with men they met on the road and eloped.
While many aruki miko operated in groups, there were also those who concealed their identities and acted alone. Some infiltrated enemy noble households by posing as female attendants, living in and carrying out domestic work over extended periods while gathering intelligence, thus carrying out true female ninja missions.

The way you wrote it, "aruki miko" appears to be the name of an organisation, so the use of "were" may seem ungrammatical. Using "the" unambiguously clarifies that "aruki miko" instead refers to multiple people, thus justifying the use of "were".
Their most distinctive feature was that they consisted exclusively of female ninja, as no other group was organized in this way.
Both "ninja" and "ninjas" are acceptable plural spellings.
