Um... ninjas used ANY weapons that where effective. You're thinking of the samurai that stuck to katanas and more traditional weapons.

Ninjas came about from simple folk that wanted to protect themselves, and would eventually turn into an underground assassin's network that would use anything to get a job done - including poison, bombs and adapted farming implements. As time passed, they became more refined, sure, but a ninja's creed is to use whatever they need to achive results - win by any means necessary.

Of course, tenno aren't really ninja - we mearly look like them. We're more of a mix between a space-ninja and a space-samurai/knight.

PS: Certain pole arms (again, mostly former farming implements) where a staple of ninja weaponry. Ever seen the little cinematic for a successful ninja-assasination in Shogun? :P
