Did you make a careless mistake? 佐 means 'help/assistance/support' too. well, it could be 左助.

So, does it mean Ninja Warrior or Left Help? (what the heck is left help?)

According to my half-baked knowledge, 佐 was used as a samurai's rank. and 佐殿 was the nickname of Minamoto Yoritomo aka the first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate. so 佐助(Sasuke) was used as a boy's name by his suppoters means as 'a supporter of samurai(Yoritomo)'. On the other hand, Sarutobi Sasuke is one of the most famous fictional Ninja. So it is usually used as ninja's name to ride on his coattails.
Kunoichi is the argot for a female ninja.
