No. Ninjitsu requires an unblocked creature.

You cannot ninjitsu before your opponent declares blockers.
Can ninjutsu be blocked MTG?
Absolutely, the ninja comes into play attacking and unblocked and can be ninjutsued as long as it is still in combat. From my understanding, if no blockers have been declare and incinerate is cast after that declaration; you can Ninjitsu in order to prevent the creature from dying.
