to paraphrase Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, the foremost requirement of a true ninja is 'seishin', purity of heart and intention. Saki is no doubt quite skilled in some of the physical aspects of ninpo, but his heart is so filled with rage and hatred that it would be impossible for him to truly practice ninjutsu.
in short, Shredder possesses some ninja skills... but he lacks the 'essence' of the ninja way.
