I have the following as my MOC (I just came out of my Dark Ages in December, so
I've loaded up on recent sets), and a guess to the theme's intent:
Grey Ninja are used (not terribly effectively) by my good, blue-flag (ninja and
Knight's Kingdom) army, manning the Bulls' siege machines. The Bulls are
mercenaries hired by the blue-flag Shougun, and mostly proceed on foot (not
really trusted). I believe the grey ninja were intended by TLC to be unallied
and opportunistic, in general.
Black Ninja are students of my Darth Vader and Darth Mauls at the ninja
academy, and are unallied. I believe they're supposed to be good in the theme,
and allied with the blue samurai.
Red Ninja are trained by the Red Ninja Master, who bound as a servant to the
wielder of a very evil relic. In the theme, I think the red ninja are allied
with the black dragon shougun, who is (or is a servant of) the emperor, and
evil.
My White Ninja is the daughter of the administrator of the ninja academy... but
in the theme, she's the daughter of the Emperor, so evil I guess.
I might have this a bit confused, because I don't know if TLC really intended
their behind-the-scenes emperor to turn out evil. But the Ninja theme seems to
me to be more about alliances than good vs. evil.
