Well, here's my attempt at a class, for one of my players, let me know what you think of the class abilities. Comments about this not being a true ninja, remember that one definition of ninja is someone who uses ninjustu, and thus these are ninja.

Ninjustu was discovered by The Great Three, who names were lost when the main academy was destroyed, the ninja in area blame the local wizard guild, who claim that one of the students had burnt it down. The word justu was created by the coded that The Great Three used, which was used to replace technique, even now it still is used. Ninjustu relies on drawing on one’s inner ki and through complex hand position, which if not done properly could cause the technique to mess-up and in worse case scenario even heavily damage the user. Genjustu, the first of two subschools of ninjustu, was created to be more stealthly, affecting the mind and required much more basic signals, but a much stronger force of will. Taijustu was later created by those that feel that many techniques left a ninja vulnerable, and thus used ki to strength their physical abilities. Some of the more powerful ninja are known to have body doubles walking around, while others, try to stand out, using intimidation to confuse others.
Ninja Class Features
Each ninja picks one subschool as their school of training
Genjustu
The training of your abilities has made your illusions much harder for the opponent to shake off. On saving throws, opponents have a -1 against your genjustu.
Ninjustu
Your constant training with the hand position have giving you a better understanding of how the abilities work, allowing you to omit one square being affected by your ninjustu powers. You also gain a +2 to attack rolls with ninjustu techniques.
Taijustu
You have focused your training on using ki to enhance your physical abilities, you are now proficient with your arm and legs as weapon +2 1d8 which counts as a two handed weapon for powers. At level 3 and at every 5 level higher, they add +1 to attack and damage rolls. You also gain the toughness feat as a bonus feat.
