No.
But ninja is a special archetype for rogue, so you could ask your GM nicely to allow it.
No its explicitly an archetype. Just a complicated one.

Incorrect, I'm afraid.
Ninja is an alternate class.
Rogue is a core class.
And there are also base classes.
Archetypes are defined as:
Archetypes are a quick and easy way to specialize characters of a given class, adding fun and flavorful new abilities to already established adventurers
If you haven't checked the links yet, an important point about alternate classes is this:
a character who takes a level in an alternate class can never take a level in its associated class
I realize where your argument is coming from, but archetype is a keyword with a very specific definition in the Pathfinder system.
Not to derail the thread. But all an alternate class is, is an archetype that's complicated enough to need its own chart.
Really to answer the op. To get access to advanced rogue tricks or master ninja tricks you need the class feature or something that let's you bypass that restriction.
Well, since Ninja gets Advanced Talents master trick, I don't see why it can't be backwards incompatiable. I mean, Assassinate is such a juicy ability that makes an entire PrC moot by its mere existence.
