Its in the past and you being a rog or nin going through it doesn't change the story that has been told.
You're confusing what's called timeline vs. continuous narrative.

I beat Ifrit EX mode - I got the cutscene but I still go back and fight him - but that doesn't disrupt the quest line because the quest line is over. Being a Ninja before the person that is going to teach you about being a Ninja even arrives ruins the continuous narrative of the story.
