They didn't.
Primarily, they were spies and reconnaissance agents, were they not?

Ninja - "Stealers in".
Criminals for hire. Highly trained, skilled in martial arts, yes, but criminal nonetheless, and in no crime can one find honour, spiritual attainment or the respect for oneself or others. Others are a source of wealth, to be served for money or to be killed for money.
The criminal is counter to the moral, ethical and spiritual progress of a people. It brings no good to any in this life but the criminal.
It is selfish, and selfishness allows for no sympathy or compassion; it does not protect the weak, the oppressed and the needy widow or orphan. Without these qualities the world remains in a state of perpetual misery. Selfishness leads to atavism and atavism is the death of all human qualities. We are reduced to the status of animals.
It is a great sadness that the 1868 Meiiji Restoration heralded the destruction of these fine people who sought perfection in everything they did, and saw the introduction of western corporatism. I curse Commodore Perry and his black frigates.
I would choose Samurai.
