Actually Bujinkan has 9 traditional schools 3 of which incorporate ninjutsu techniques and 2 which were known to be part of their fighting system. The remaining 4 are considered samarai traditions.

That is actually (allmost) exactly what i stated in my previous post, though i think i've got A: something totally backwards, or B: false information, since i was under the following impression:
Togakure Ryu Ninpo; Formally founded by Daisuke Togakure in (aprox.) 1162. Is Nin-Jutsu.
Gyokko Ryu Kosshi-jutsu; Alledgedly the oldest fighting system used by the Ninja. Origins are Chinese, and it can therefore NOT be counted as Nin-Jutsu (as Nin-Jutsu is Japanese and NOT Chinese).
Kumogakure Ryu Nin-Jutsu; A ryu specialized in (amongst other things) espionage. Is Ninjutsu.
Koto Ryu Koppojutsu; Translated as the Chinese Hand skill of Tiger attack. Again Chinese, and therefore NOT Nin-Jutsu.
Kukishinden Ryu Happo Hiken; Samurai Ryu-Ha, and therefore NOT Nin-Jutsu but Bu-Jutsu.
Gikan Ryu Koppojutsu; Based on the Chinese style of Cho Gyokko (unverified rumours claim that that person may be the same as Yo Gokko, the founder of Gyokko Ryu Koppojutsu, which whould then make Gikan Ryu a substyle of Gyokko Ryu. Yet again a non-Ninjutsu style, which is furthermore entirely based on CMA.
Gyokishin Ryu Ninpo; I don't know much about this Ryu, but i do know it to be Nin-Jutsu.
Shinden Fudo Ryu Dakentaijutsu; Again we are dealing with a Bu-Jutsu (Samurai) Ryu.
Takagi Yoshin Ryu Jutaijutsu; Not certain wether to call this Ryu a Bu-Jutsu or Ju-Jutsu, but it most certainly ain't Nin-Jutsu either.
I could be wrong, but these are the ingormations that i have.
