The Ninja theme was a short lived subtheme of Castle, that ran from 1998 to 2000. The sets of the theme were based around the Samurai and Ninja of feudal Japan. In 2009, they appeared in 4850307 LEGO Battles, as an ally of the Imperials, and the enemy of both Pirates and Islanders. A ninja minifigure was also released in 8683 Minifigures Series 1 in 2010. It was succeeded by Ninjago in 2011.
Storyline
The Ninja line relocated the classic Castle Theme to ancient Japan, where graceful Oriental architecture provided the backdrop for an eternal struggle between two factions of daring and masterful martial artists. Interesting new elements for the Ninja line include samurai helmets and armour, ninja hoods, katana swords, and precious faceted jewels. The Shogun Gi-Dan and his ally Ito, the grey ninja, defended a trove of mystical rubies from the Bandit Chief Kendo, his band of robbers, and the black ninja Bonsai, will stop at nothing to possess the ancient treasure.
Minifigures
Bonsai | Chief Kendo | Dojo | Gi-Dan | Green Ninja (Female) | Green Ninja (Male) | Ito | Kata | Old Samurai | Pirate Skeleton | Red Ninja | Red Ninja Master | Robber Chief | Samurai Lord | Shogun Warlord | White Ninja Princess | Young Samurai |
Sets

In 1999, the action shifted, as the jewels were captured by the evil Emperor and secreted within his fortress-like palace. The white ninja princess appears, and with the aid of her army of flying red ninjas, attempt to overthrow the Emperor and rescue the dazzling treasure. The Emperor had at least one ship to use.
