In the pages of the Secret History of the Foot Clan, Ashikaga Yuu, the Yuu clan's Daimyo is getting support from the Samurai class so that means Tatsuo is a Samurai - the greatest among their rank. But after Tatsuo survived his clan's betrayal, do the writers mean that he abandoned his Samurai status and became a Ninja into order to kill Ashikaga? Then he transformed the Yuu clan, who is composed of mainly of Samurai retainers, into a Secret Ninja order.

Am I getting it right?

thanks!!!
