I'm sure we can dig deep into history or folk tales from Japanese villages and find something, you know, about Ryu, the Noble Ninja who baked bread for the homeless and refused to kill anyone or something, or Bob Hatsu, the ninja who used to ward off crows from farmlands and stopped thieves... but the simple fact is, that's not the kind of ninja the TMNT were written to be or ever intended to be.

Not ever. Eastman and Laird were crystal clear about what kind of ninja the TMNT are intended to be right there in Mirage vol. 1, #1.
