I agree, it wouldn't be very interesting. The whole point is that you're an amazing assassin in a world where most people, well...aren't amazing assassins. Stick the character in a time when ninjas were everywhere and suddenly that feeling of power is a bit lessened. Sometimes I feel like people suggest the setting not because it would actually be a good one but because it's obvious.

Because everyone in feudal Japan was either a samurai or ninja and all the women were geishas.

Are you serious?

Feudal Japan was a warrior society. Sure men and woman had multiple roles but at the end of the day every farmer or smith was trained to be a warrior and every woman was trained to be an entertainer. It's no different than sparta in that respect.
