Actually the answer is both. Most individuals were are considered ninjas in the modern sense were born-and-raised samurai who specialized in missions that were considered unorthodox or non-conventional. This would include espionage, covert diplomacy, sabotage, assassination, misinformation, and general guerrilla warfare. However, they were not the stereotypical men in black body suits and, like Oni-Hanzo, were not much different from the other vassals of a lord except for their unique skill set. Hanzo himself was a master of the spear and was a skilled tactician and Onmyoji. His favorite spear and ceremonial helmet can be seen at Sainen-ji in Tokyo

Their whole being depended on public display - death-defying and often death-seeking bravado. The ninja were the opposite: in order to be a spy, you have to survive and be secretive. Secretiveness was something the samurai pretended to despise, but in fact the ninja were vital to military activity. And quite often the samurai during the day doubled as ninja during the night.So could ninja be samurai at the same time?You could, theoretically. There would have been some sort of distinction, because samurai were often extremely high class, but ninja not necessarily so. But there was an overlap in the middle sooo in short yes they could
