Assassination was difficult back in Feudal Japan. You know those Tatami straw floors? Castle floors were made up of those so that they could hear when someone approached the emperor/shogun/daimyo. And those rice paper wooden slide doors? Good luck opening those without a peep.

Unless setting fire to those castles is your idea of a ninja-like assassination, then "Ninja = Assassin" shouldn't be a go-to assumption.

Heck, go watch some Naruto. That has got a lot of inspiration from ninja folklore. Even Shen does a hand gesture thing when he ults.
