Not all of them. Most ninjas came from farming families, and were
quite poor, so they rented themselves out as assassins or engaged in
guerilla
warfare (some espionage also) to get some money. Other practised ninjitsu
to
protect their family. Life was pretty hard in the old japan..
If someone knows this better than me, please correct me.

A very crappy tonfa (japanese fighting ..stick?)
looks more like a cactus, or a mutilated submarine :)
