I apologize, I misunderstood. But regardless samurai did not undertake missions similar to those of ninja; such tasks go against their ethics and philosophy.

I own a real ninja-to and a real katana and have compared them myself. Although it's true a ninja's sword is different, there are similarities between the two. The blade of a ninja-to is still curved (although much less than a katana) but it's shorter, and it's made through the same process as a katana.
